Old Cabin Remodel Part 12: It's Time to Get Serious

Feeding pigs, fixing a toy, and beginning the paneling on a living room wall.

[@donkndave7811]

I'm now 60 years old and I had one of those Tonka toys. Brings back faded memories. Thanks.

[@nunyah64]

I’m 60 years old and I have the same memories!😂😂😂😂😂

[@catgynt9148]

Wood worker, tractor mechanic, animal husbandry... wonderful additions to your resume. Love that you take time with your son, fixing toys or fishing. Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday season. Peace brother

[@philhunt9297]

My only "issue" (if you can call it that 😉) not teaching his son to keep 'his machinery' oiled & greased... I see rust and force needed to tilt that there bucket ^ I know, I know...I'm British and love watching American youtubers (Fall Line Ridge, Dirt Perfect, Diesel Creek etc) and the one thing in common, which I admire and do myself as best I can, is repair & maintain - something that should be passed from generation to generation 😀👍

[@donnamariesouza9244]

Daddy’s can do everything! You can tell he thinks you are the best! That is why he follows you everywhere! ❤

[@U_ever]

I love the diversity of topics you cover. Please keep up the good work.

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video. It's OK if you're like a squirrel running around looking for nuts and you easily get distracted. Don't think you're the only one like this. 🚜🚜🚜

[@gillie-monger3394]

Aaargh! when I saw you were going to put up those boards I was almost shouting: "check your framing for 'square' first"! You may have to plane off the ones protruding or cut filler strips to even them out. But the room is really coming together Wes. Keep it up. Good luck.

[@davidhuffine5084]

I liked you took time to fix your son's toy . Nice job , dad .

[@SiboBushings]

👌

[@Amerisis1972]

Nothing worse than having to stop work because of a tractor break down. At least the young man could get back to moving that sawdust out of the way. I hope you didn’t charge him much for repairs, he seems to be doing an awful lot of work there on the homestead. Great video. Love seeing the inside work coming together.

[@samvalentine3206]

Nicely said!

[@DDL2728]

Another great video, Wes/Job!! Thanks for sharing your precious son & your life with us. I'm so anxious to see your cabin complete!! I'm sure you are, too!! 😉 Love the tractor repair!! God bless you and your family! ❤👍

[@deprived56501]

Got to fix the tonka toy firstest. That's the biggest, and most important, job.

[@ronnielloyd4514]

A polite son, wow that’s fantastic.

[@beklandfarm16]

Love watching , your son is learning as you go. I learned from my father he also has a sawmill, which cuts up to 25-foot. Huge Cummings diesel engine. I certainly like your mill since it can be mobile. Sorry about the pigs. Love the woodwork in your home. TC

[@flossiecloyd3295]

Love that you stop and do things for your little boy.

[@nigelwylie01]

Those sure are beautiful looking boards you made. A pleasure to watch. Thanks Wes.

[@jaminparker929]

Use your six or eight foot level to check the studs horizontally, before installing the boards. Great video .

[@mikewatson4644]

Or a straight board on edge held against the studs

[@GWPHomestead]

I am also all over the place so don’t feel like you’re alone in that. Just keep on keeping on sir.

[@nunyah64]

It’s called life! Enjoying the uploads!

[@tonyn3123]

Just had to add this comment regarding the bridge built in a previous video. It would be beneficial to add a 4X4 longitudinally on each side of the deck to help you feel the edge should you ever get close, or the boards are slippery, and the vehicle happens to slide. Thanks, and good luck with the walls.

[@njkay0033]

Morning from N Georgia

[@mikelemere8336]

We get what we get. Just glad to see videos. Keep em coming. Thanks

[@mikeunum]

Do it in YOUR time and progress, we are the viewers only. You do it very well so stay on your line.

[@genestatler2514]

What ever you can work out Wes, with your videos and time, is fine with me. I enjoy your content very much. You've got an invaluable little helper there!😁

[@richardthornhill4630]

Life happens, a series of events. Some you can control and some you can not.

[@roberta.brokaw3829]

Hey stuff happens and you deal with it. If you don't correct the problem now it will bite you big time later. Good luck and stay safe.

[@denniscastle936]

Just tell me truth!!!! The BOSS told you to "Just get it done!!!" We've all been there bud😂

[@joebacarella2829]

A little tractor repair to keep your son diggin in the sawdust, too cool. I don`t know if you have a router, but you could rout the back side of that board out to negate the high stud, or plane that stud down, planning that stud down is probably the smarter choice, we love the videos no matter the content, keep em coming Wes.

[@snv648]

Looking forward to whatever you can throw at us.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome work Wes , wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving

[@HoneyDoHomestead]

I don't know when you filmed this, or how far along you've gotten.. but another option would be to take down the first couple boards you put up.. shim the studs and use a framing level (4ft+) to get all the studs straight. then run your boards on top of the shimmed studs. you can fasten the shims with just some staples or brad nail.. just something to hold them while you get the boards up. shaving the studs with a hand planar works too, but you'll have to tear the paper on your insulation.. that sounds like even more work.. I guess it depends if you have more "outty" boards than "inny" lol.

[@buddyreed2623]

Hello Wes. If all of the boards were the same width or close, it looks like you may have ended up with some stickers. Life happens and we will see you on the next one. Have good days!

[@Greg_D5924]

Wow, those pigs are already big I can't imagine what they'll look like toward the end of Dec. Oh yeah, I don't mind your videos jumpin all over, they are entertaining and informative! Keep it up my friend!

[@markkemp7608]

You got to do what you got to do when you gotta do it.

[@Istarelle112]

Don't worry about the shorter videos man it's all good 👍. And thanks for leaving in your mistakes! I think we all appreciate seeing we're not alone when a brain goof happens during a project. Btw I have the same table saw with the same damage to the fence haha! It's a funny world

[@raywilson800]

Pigs are getting big.

[@ron.v]

Shorter videos are fine. You have a family to raise. We enjoy whatever you have time to share.

[@peterww3106]

Don’t worry about it. You do you. It’s your house you do it when you want to do it! I don’t see no foreman cracking the whip ( tho she’s probably there somewhere!🤪

[@michaeldeaville5573]

What you need for those pigs is one, or two milk cows. Mixing milk with their feed would greatly reduce your cost for pig feed, and they would supply you with all of the milk you could use.

[@carlfoltz4244]

Some TIte Bond and clamps, and you can restore that nicely shaped board. Easy on the glue and wipe it clean right away. Give it a day or two to cure and you've got your board back.

[@samvalentine3206]

Shaving that stud presents a problem - how to do it. Those round chainsaw tipped grinding wheels come to mind? Or maybe even a chainsaw (electric) and chew away at the stud to get it down? Or a router set up with a jig of another board to plunge cut the offending wood away? Or maybe even a good old sharp chisel or hatchet/axe to trim it that way? (another mentioned a power planer) I'm sure you'll figure it out. Too bad about the butcher's 0:59 schedule - but on the bright side, that will mean more for the freezer, although the wallet will be thinner. Hopefully a little wood glue salvaged the break 11:48 in the board. ANY videos you can upload are welcome and appreciated. Thank you, Wes!

[@peterww3106]

Natural break should glue easy enough!

[@monster2804]

Good job!

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

Hey Wes try using some essential oils diffused in the house. I know it isn't perfect but these are some of the best for calming the mind. Roman chamomile, Lavender, Mandarin, Ylang-ylang, and Vetiver. It helps my adhd grandson. We actually got him a bracelet we can put oils on. I think sometimes the stress of life can cause major issues. Maybe calming scents along with prayer and quiet time can help keep all of us on track.

[@revhbateman]

Good dad

[@freightdawg6762]

Damn they grew fast WOW

[@thomasc.pellicer1879]

I think I would left the Birthday sign up and dated it and covered it. Never know in the future your son maybe be some remodeling and come across this time peace.

[@brendamilner9066]

Pattern of videos is not necessary nor desirable, for me anyway. The variety in your videos is what makes me look for new videos from your channel before anyone else.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou

[@kennethgibbons366]

Very naughty... when you are running boards through your table saw you should be using a push rod to keep your fingers away from the blade!

[@falllineridge]

I've still got all 9 of my fingers, thank you very much.

[@harveystephens6115]

Saw dust pile maybe better than sand box!!!

[@piledriver141]

DEER 🦌 SEASON, you gotta stop for that! Everything will work out

[@randydobson1863]

hello wes it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks wes friends randy

[@DonGladwin]

First things first, get the loader fixed.

[@loloholmes2793]

They dont make Tonka toys like they used to but at least you could repair it for him. You did complete something today, you fixed your son's toy & that matters.

[@benjamincock5357]

Might be easier to router the board into the stud than fiddling with insulation paper

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Mr. Green Jeans. My My those piggies are BIG. We've not seen them in a while. Had Sue gotten bred yet? Has the boar done his job yet? Me thinks that the Junior Supervisor needs a new Tonka Truck for Christmas, yes??? Hint Hint Santa !!!

[@SFC51]

Hi…. I really enjoy your videos and how they just keep getting better. I would like to know what computer you use to edit your GoPro videos Thanks

[@sergueiothonucci1638]

😃😃

[@rudyrivera7426]

👌👍

[@jackgreen412]

The board you broke is no big deal once you get everything laying flat.

[@MrJFK61]

Want to see this job when you get though.what county in Ga. Do you live

[@jacobjones784]

Are we going to get any deer hunting footage this year?

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

A little CA goes a long way!

[@ericfg806]

Could never figure out how those rivet tools worked. Sad, I know.

[@thenicksfamilyadventure3280]

"Ha" 🤣🤣

[@jackg.1759]

I was making tractor noises for your son.

[@gregm312]

you finished your boys tractor at least

[@brucewelty7684]

Paint MiniMe's loader, tables saw blade might need a good detarring, electric hand plane for that stud?? Oh, yeah just use a GOOD wood glue on that goard, Typical pine failure.

[@haphazzard3431]

Loved the videos Brother. But I’m confused, and it’s none of my business…. But homesteading does not make much money…. So do you have a job and do all this on the side??

[@russmarchand3962]

Welcome to my life. **it happens. It all comes down to this. Are you happy with your life? Is your wife happy, in general. If so, move on to the next episode. In my humble opinion, you are doing just fine.
