Hey Outsider, Great to see you again, it's been a minute. I've been wondering what's been up with you. It's been a bit since the last video came out. Hopefully your wife and family are all doing good? Wow, just when I think you couldn't add more tranquil beauty and personality to the cabin, you pull something else out of the hat. You truly are a craftsman in every way imaginable, and should seriously think about doing this professionally. I know you're a pastor, but, no reason not to do something else that you obviously enjoy and have incredible skills in. I've been anticipating the cabin being finished for, hmmmm, about 2 years now. Haha! But I know there have been bumps along the way. ❤to Senior, I still miss him too. I have a feeling this Christmas is going to be the big reveal of the cabin though, and am wondering what you will be doing with the channel afterwards if it is finally ready to live in? I'm Greatly wanting to see all of your family spend the REAL first Christmas there, and can only imagine the Christmas Tree you will have with the ceiling height available. Hopefully you'll continue with KZbin when you do move in, if that is still the plan. I know how things change in life. Take Care My Friend, Keep Safe and Always Inspired, Matt - Toronto, Canada

[@krazzygranny7032]

did you by chance seal the copper you used on the countertop where you're leaving it copper color? otherwise were ever you touch it with exposed hands the oils on your hand or other type oils will eventually cause discoloration on it. you can look at any roof job where copper is used for flashing if the roofer didn't use gloves you can see their finger marks all over them

[@BrianBriCurInTheOC]

GREAT LIGHTS!!!

[@rorymackintosh4196]

Nice counter. One thing, You should remove the backsplas. then caulk the bottem and reinsatall it to prvent water going between it and the countertop.

The copper counter top, backsplash, and the patina on the cabinet doors - such a great look! Wow! Your craftsmanship is so inspiring. I have been watching since the stones were first laid, and every episode I am more and more impressed. You are creating a legacy of work - and with it all available to be seen for the rest of us.

Wow, you are just a master at any project you tackle. Beautiful copper work. I love it especially the patina on the doors. You'll make it for Christmas I have no doubt❤

I am 16 years old hear soon, I have bean following you and keeping along with every video since I was 12 years old, I have watched this channel grow and I love every video you put out.

[@gibsonmj1958]

Love the patina and cherry wood. Wonderful job as us. Eventually, I think an outside well would be very doable based on some other off-grid channels I’ve seen install them, but I guess your location may be limiting.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! ...yes, I'm curious to know how easy (or hard) it'll be to install a well at the cabin. I figure the thick layer of limestone just below the soil will pose a challenge, though.

[@crashandburn450]

You should be proud of all the work you have done its amazing keep up the great work 😊

[@dougkinney4521]

Just beautiful.

It's not just your many, varied skills with wood, metal (you really "nailed" that copper countertop!), stone, etc. but your artistic eye! The bed, the bathroom sink, and now the new black cherry kitchen cabinet doors with the copper patina are stunning! Such a joy to see your work!

Copper is a great choice for the counter top, antibacterial and beautiful.

Thank you! Yes, the natural antibacterial/antimicrobial properties of copper was a big selling point for me. Plus, I love the look of copper.

The cabinet doors are stunningly beautiful. Everything you do, you do to perfection and grace. The warm feeling you get just looking at the colors make me want to snuggle up on the couch with a nice cup of tea.

[@BMGrilla60]

Amazing how far the cabin has come. I admire your patience, avoiding rushing things or scrimping on the quality. Your Dad would be extremely proud of you and the time you spent together working on it was priceless. One question I have is do you worry about vandalism with the cabin sitting unoccupied for long periods?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated, my friend. 🙂🙏 ...as to your question, I don't worry about the cabin, as it's isolated, and the land is closely watched by family and neighbors.

I have been watching you since you built the small cabin, and have enjoyed seeing you go onto building this beautiful cabin. I have lost both parent's, and can see the bittersweet work you continue to finish this cabin to have your wife and daughter enjoy. I love all the details you have incorporated into this place. Those sharkbite fittings help with the copper and pex lines, makes life easier for sure. After nearly 12 year's, haven't had a leak with the sharkbite brand quick connect, or using the clamps. I hope you can bring your girl's to this cabin for Christmas. G-d bless.

Nice. As usual it is different and thought provoking in design for sure. I am interested in the future well project. I am assuming you have a decent water table with all that cedar around? Would you go for gravity flow? I will wait and learn!

You do absolutely magnificent work! Everything looks totally amazing. It’s the cabin of everyone’s dreams! 👍👍👍

[@immasurvivor]

8:00 lots of empty space inside that wall, maybe several inter-connected watertanks could be put in there? Put a refill-hose through the siding, plexiglass-covered slit where the lowest tank is to see the level? I have seen very low-profile water containers that you stack on each other and mount on desert vehicles (I guess for ease of refill and not being screwed from a single leak?) That would free up the space under the sink and give you access to much more water.

[@contrafax]

Well done, how are going to keep the counter top from developing its own patina?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

That's actually why I like the copper so much. Since it's a "living metal," it will gain a natural patina over time. Not as extreme as the forced patina I gave to the cabinet doors, mind you, but a more subtle one.

[@contrafax]

@@TheOutsiderCabin that should be interesting.

[@britishtechguru]

I would have done the plumbing differently but that's just me. There is no "right" answer. Of my two alternative solutions... 1. A water jug under each sink and a footpump. 2. A water tank upstairs, gravity feeding to the sinks. Both of these have the advantage the system can be drained before a freeze.

[@kennethgibbons366]

You never cease to surprise me with your creative and design skills... I haven't commented for a while but I still love watching your progress. The copper bench is fantastic and the doors amazing... I can't help thinking how far it has all come from the original rock foundations. Blessings to you and your family

[@blackjackjoe7]
