This was...hands down...the most nerve-wracking moment of the build. I cut through the purlins to open the dormers into the loft. Although we were confident that it would be possible to remove a small section of purlin in front of the dormers, a small voice of doubt persisted within our minds. What if we cut through the purlin, and the whole roof sags?

Do you also run the "Brick Immortar" channel? Your voice sounds the same as that guy.

Off-topic question here, mate, do you know of any bushcraft equivalent in regards to cooking oil? It's something I've never been able to find.

[@timmyg2548]

Watching another installment of the cabin build is one of the ways I can decompress. Life is tenuous but watching you and your dad is a reminder to spend time on things that matter. Thank you!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated, my friend. 🙂 I'm glad that our channel has been a positive outlet for you, especially during these uncertain times. All the best to you and yours!

[@DDL2728]

Amen, Timmy!! 👍✨️

[@remraf72]

Good Morning Outsider ! This cabin build series constantly blows my mind. The quality of this reflects your attention to detail and epic craftsmanship. Its so refreshing to see your father there with you as building this work of art and applied knowledge have and will make a lifetime of heartfelt memories. My wife and I are always asking the Good Lord to comfort your lovely wife as her health is paramount and is in our hearts as are you, your daughter, Dad and entire family. Thank You for sharing your lives with us, entertaining us, and relaxing us. You have a great voice that to me, is extremely calming and has a verbal peacefulness tone to it. Your videos are always very well done, the audio is outstanding, your editing is " top knotch" and the picture and definition quality is crisp. Always wishing you the very best. Warmest Regards from Arizona. P.S. One million subscribers is upon you- that alone is impressive, ( early) congratulations ! You will soon have two million !

[@Il-Siciliano]

Wonderfully said!!

[@senioroutsider2975]

Thank you Bruce! good to hear from the great state of Arizona!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you my friend, for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful comment! Your prayers for my wife's health is also very much appreciated. I've been wanting to give an update on her condition for a while now, but it's been difficult for me to talk about. Plus, we're still figuring things out with her specialists. However, it's wonderful to know that there are people, like you, who continue to remember Mrs Outsider in your thoughts and prayers. 🙂🙏 In addition, I'm happy to hear that you've been loving the cabin build episodes with my dad. More to come!

[@shermdog6969]

Just being able to build the cabin with your father is priceless.

[@frankgeimer5952]

You and your Dad are building one hell of a cabin! The attention to detail you both have shown will ensure that the cabin will last for many years. You and your family will be able to live there as long as you wish. Thanks for taking me along!

[@Uncleroger1225]

Saturday Morning with the Outsider and Dad, what a pleasure. Superbe craftsmanship, it is inspiring and entertaining. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share. God Bless!

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

Not going to lie…best built cabin I ever did see 🙏

[@mikemmikem2758]

Might have said this before but watching you and your dad built this beautiful cabin is like watching Rembrandt paint a masterpiece.

[@stacypecora6219]

Good morning outsider family!

[@KelJayP]

I love seeing your Dad help you ))) You will both have these memories forever.

[@kingkong7617]

You and your dad have taken the time and effort to build a quality cabin and I have to say, it is one of the best built I have ever seen. It is solid as a rock and will be enjoyed for years to come.

[@ruthnagarya2028]

My Grandfather was a master carpenter and I always admired his kills and talent, you exhibit those same skills, you are blessed, my fiend, totally blessed.

[@paulonorato8765]

Spectacular. Congratulations on completing the dormers and removing the logs in between… They look absolutely spectacular. You’re an incredible craftsman . Stay safe and well

[@ddrsteen]

Good morning! Mr. Outsider, you bring a lot of peace and wonder to the hearts of others living in turbulent world. Out of curiosity, did you ever calculate how much all that cedar would have cost if you had purchased it from mills or lumberyards? One of my favorite things to watch is when you turn a tree you’ve felled yourself into beautiful boards at your portable mill. Thanks for the wonderful YT content! I was here before 100k, and I’ll be here when you crack a million.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks Duane, for sticking with us from the very beginning! As for our cedar lumber, I actually haven't sat down to calculate the equivalent lumberyard cost, but I'm sure it would be VERY pricey! Not only because cedar is valuable, but also because most of our pieces are custom cut on our mill, and wouldn't be available in a standard lumberyard.

[@jessica3548]

My first full day home with my brand new baby, and I'm watching a vid of the cabin build... Seems appropriate; I started watching your channel when I was pregnant with his sister.

[@carmencarrasquillo6567]

Hello

[@retiredyeti5555]

I could listen to you talk for hours - No nonsense, just straight forward information. The sanding really brightened up the interior - now all you have to do is vacuum every nook and cranny to get all the dust!

[@clarkmcmahan1595]

I agree with your channel being. breath of fresh air but most of all thank you for sharing your journey and family with us ...very blessed to have that privlage ..thank you brother God bless you and your family!!!

[@kostaskostis6469]

that was pretty tense!! :) glad everything went according to the plan!!! Getting really close to the 1M milestone, gratz mate !!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you my friend! 🎊🥳🎉

[@fuzzyfultz]

Auction those removed purlins off to the highest bidder or cut into smaller prices and send to some of your subscribers as a gift. Awesome videos from day one. God bless you both brothers.

[@istvanszoke381]

You guys have got tremendous amount of high quality tools and vehicles, I'd love to be a canadian!

Awww sorry you didn’t get to stay in the ice cabin. This cabin just keeps getting better and better!

[@nahdarafanda9783]

The Outsider, you really created a very beautiful and comfortable house

[@deborahsimmons2414]

So wonderful to wake up here in the States to seeing you and your Dad!! The ice house was a dream for many of us I suspect, but your such a good man, you made me cry. My Dad loved my Mom the same way. The quality of your camera is amazing, thank you for every journey you have brought us along for. Love is everything.

@williamrob911 So you've changed your username again? You're still stalking unsuspecting women?

[@joebacarella2829]

That is just one outstanding cabin you and your father have built, the detail, and labor put into sanding every single log and cranny, but boy in the end it sure paid off, the wood looks absolutely stunning. You both are a couple of fine craftsman, very well done, thanks for sharing.

[@garrettstitt5489]

Oh this cabin is too craftsman engineered to ever have you worried about structural integrity. I’m just intrigue by the way detailed sanding made it all so bright inside. Note: I must have missed the last couple of episodes, the YT algorithm somehow must have bypassed them from me. Anyway, for your holiday special, I just want to say you have a very beautiful family, and God bless you all for the joy you bring each other. Take care.

[@senioroutsider2975]

Hi Garrett, Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Yes we pondered long and hard about cutting the purlins out. But came to the decision to cut based on a number of factors, like 45 degree pitch with steel roof. we felt that the rafters were more than adequate to carry the load with out purlins. the framing of the dormers bridged and would support the cut out of the roof and purlin because the extra framing goes from 2' below the peak to 2-3' feet from were the rafters are supported on the top of the wall. Further, the weight is supported within 4' by the outside wall and by a secondary 45 degree support under the purlin on the other side. So that was the thinking process leading to the cutting! Thks again Have a great day!

[@garrettstitt5489]

@@senioroutsider2975 And that technic of cutting the purlin openings at an 📐- genius! Great safety precaution to prevent getting caught on the edges. You all definitely give me ideas if I ever dedicate enough time pick up this craft.

[@GirdHerd]

I love seeing you working with your Dad. Some of my best memories as a teenager and young adult are working with him on his construction projects.

[@paulcasanova4836]

Your cabin is an absolute work of art. I can imagine the scent of the timber, and the many beautiful Christmases and other fond memories you'll share there as a family. Inspiration in a time of uncertainty in the world 🙏

[@SwirlingSoul]

I too would have been scared that the beam would move and the roof sag or something.... And, that little curved tree... I'm excitedly looking forward to what you are going to do with that! And it's absolutely great to see the inside come along too. Thank you for sharing your build with us. God bless.

[@dood9701]

Having just come back from a motorcycle event in the Snowy Mountain region between New South Wales and Victoria that we had to cut short due to bad weather, it was fantastic to see you had posted a new chapter of what really looks like a labour of love. May you and all your family enjoy your spring as we head into winter.

[@nathanbrackeen2377]

you guys are amazing! I was nervous watching you saw through the purlins. I'm looking forward to the construction of out-buildings. Perhaps you should make this a vacation rental, with the guests helping you work!

Hey outsider start watching you about four years ago pretty much intensely every episode, have a little acreage myself would love to do the same project. Finally came back and watched an episode today from a three-year hiatus you have come along way really appreciate your channel it’s practically DIY appreciate it God bless you and your family! Especially loved your film editing you have stayed consistent.

YOU AND YOUR FATHER HAVE DONE AN AMAZING JOB ON YOUR CABIN!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...

[@adrianfletcher2829]

Mr Outsider your Cabin you and your Dad built and are completing is a absolutely picture perfect cabin. Your last cabin visit with Mrs and your daughter was beautiful. I know your wife was sick for a while, just wanted to tell you to cherish every day as my Mrs is in Heaven. Please be safe and enjoy life God Bless you and your family.

[@brittawrolson5936]

I keep being impressed every episode. Your dad and you work so amazingly well together. Efficiency as well as accuracy👍🏻 The fact that you cut all your own lumber with your mill is even More spectacular. Gotta say that you are super lucky to be building in the midst of such gorgeous trees! Sorry that the ice cabin did not work out. Perhaps next year when you can try to get it done earlier (and if weather cooperates)🙏🏻

[@nightsong28540]

Another wonderful video, I was right there with you (holding my breath) when you cut the purlin...was fantastic when I seen no movement. So sorry the ice house didn't survive the warm weather. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry

[@rolothatcher5201]

Hello from Pennsylvania! Another great video. Only complaint is we need longer videos. Every time I go to my suggestion box and one of your videos are in there, all other videos go to the rear. You and your dad are sure doing a great job. Hope all is well with the family. I pray for them every time I see one of your videos pop up. Can't wait to see what you make for the inside. That is what I do now that I am retired. Make things out of reclaimed wood. See you on the next one.

[@suejackson1731]

You have come so far with this build it looks stunning both inside and outside. l have not been getting notifications and thought you had stopped uploading, good to see you and your dad again.

Never done anything like this myself which is why I wish I could take part in something like this one day given how much you can learn. I know it's a lot of hard work, and then more of it, and that's exactly what I want. That's the gold. Looks like a proper solid build this. Top job.

Awesome video, the cabin looks beautiful. I had no doubts that opening the dormers would not go smoothly, having watched all your planning and calculating throughout the build you do not make unwise decisions. Next winter the ice cabin will be spectacular. With fewer projects on your table and the experience gained with this years build I am sure you will create one that will be a masterpiece. You will exceed dreams and instill strength and determination, like only you can.
