You and your dad are amazing BUT I could NEVER live where it is that cold, rainy and that much snow. I DO love to watch the work being done on the cabin.GREAT JOB

[@LynnWrayDillard]

That tractor cranked (25:12), and then that mini blizzard, well this old southern man (Alabama) nearly froze to death just watching. Watching you and your dad skate along those icy snow covered logs and ladders was high anxiety for me. What a relief to see that tarp go on. That must have been a very emotional moment. Thank you so very much for the extra efforts you make to record the incredible beauty around your cabin. You’re the best.

[@tyfrank3427]

At least he can work on it. Here, it's -40 right now and it's too cold to do that kind of work.

[@EvieSoto]

U and ur father must be exhausted. Great works guys. 🍻

[@danielwoolfe1135]

I've been following your journey for some time now, and seeing those logs on the roof, wow.

The way you & dad have adapted & overcome is outstanding. I am truly blessed watching you all working together. Thanks for continuing to share this adventure with us. Praying you all as well.

Looking good Brother. Now U and your Dad can kick back and relax and reflect on your accomplishments. It's only going get easier from here on out. Looking forward to your next video of U Enjoying winter. ✌👊👊

[@noocemiller6005]

This is epic. Five generations from now, your descendants will be gathered in the cabin talking about how you and your dad built it with your own hands. My very best to you and Papa Outsider. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

The wait for the build to get to this point was long, and for you, arduous. But WELL worth the wait. God bless!

[@davidmcduffie1398]

You and your dad work well together. Im sure your wife is smiling down at you. Y'all should be proud of your selves. The dream is coming to life. I can see its beauty starting to peek through already !!! To me its not just seeing the finished product as it is the journey of making that dream come true an only then seeing it finally completed. God bless you !

[@dalecybulskie7242]

I'm so grateful for you and your dad,hope your wife is doing well considering all the challenges she is facing.You definitely deserve the peace of mind that would bring.Those working conditions really tested your metal,but once again the two of you proved up to the challenge.Thanks for maintaining your high caliber of videography in the face of such adverse conditions.That roof structure and tarp will give you the breathing space in your push to put the cabin build to bed for the winter.Until next time my friend!👍

Talk about a couple of rugged individuals !! Watching your Dad in action I can see where you get a lot of your go . Great job fella's !

From Egypt, thank you and your father for sharing this trip with us ♥️

[@m.proximus1930]

Years ago, I was interested in building a small cabin... In spite of all the obstacles, you are demonstrating that it CAN be done. Thanks very much!

[@graemelliott3942]

Great episode! I really like how the ridge pole and the perlins overhang the entryway side of the cabin and how the rafters hang down like long eaves. It really gives a lot of style to the home.

[@yupengmeng8673]

Wow, I still remember the time that I was watching u building the house last winter, it feels like yesterday, now another winter comes

[@THardy.]

You and your Dad make a great team. Cold, dangerous work on the roof. You make a difficult job look easy. Well done!

[@Crewsy]

That is a big advancement that pretty much was necessary to allow any reasonable progress this winter. Having the early arrival of Old Man Winter certainly created challenges for you and your Dad but you persevered and conquered. Now that we have returned to slightly above normal temperatures this week hopefully you’re able to get ahead of the snow and cold to ensure a successful winter season.

[@TopDedCenter1]

Won't it be great when you can go in the cabin to warm up and dry off, instead of leaving. So awesome to see the progress and I'm looking forward to seeing you enjoy the fruit of your labor.

[@psalm6408]

Thanks for allowing us to come along for the ride.

[@ausbinpippin5411]

So happy to see you be able to place the tarp on the roof. Now you will be able to work inside during the winter.

Excellent DIY series on one of KZbin's best channels. Many generations of family and friends will enjoy this cabin once it's done.

You fellas have so much stamina! I'm very proud of you both. I would have given up so long ago. Admiration abounds.

[@raymondhuber6306]

I love the cabin on the My self reliance channel. Shawn is a real craftsman. But this is 100 percent the real McCoy. That ceiling of yours is going to look buiteful when you look up at it. Wow what a awesome job you guys did 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Your building skills are impressive but your positive attitude and determination are truly inspiring. Congratulations on this milestone! Say Hi to your Dad.

[@oleanderson3693]

What a great father/son project. It will be remembered for generations to come.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Looking very nice! I've been working to get my roof on too before the big snows start. Getting the tarp on the top is a good feeling of (temporary) completion! Good work to you and your father. Those giant tarps are not cheap though - but should last well. God bless.

[@passerby9123]

I take my hat off to you and your father, sir. Fighting a deadline is never easy, and where snowy weather sets that deadline, then it is naturally unpredictable. I am amazed by the self-weight of your roof construction, and your method of constructing it, and I wish you and your father well.

[@tired1911]

Awesome job. Looks great. At the risk of sounding envious and repetitive, you are truly blessed to still have your father with you. Wish you and yours all the very best for the season and look forward to many more videos. Thanks.

[@timduncan9903]

It's always good to have the resources and tools needed to get it done... congratulations on the progress great vid

"that's it for now" that was a lot, thanks for taking me along, what progress, pure joy watching you and your dad achieve so much together; who needs cable, it just does not compare to your channel, wishing you and your dad all the best

[@geemac7267]

Good progress. Not an easy task to hand build something like this either alone or with one other person. May God continue to keep you safe and strong.

[@ensen89]

Words can't describe how awesome this is. Even the word "awesome" can't.

[@garydee2438]

Tremendous effort beating winter ! You can rest a little easier now that you have something over the rafters. Great job!

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

Such an immense amount of effort and work to build a relatively simple structure. But, one day soon, imagine sitting in front of a cozy fire, and knowing every single log, every single nail and screw, was done by your own hands. That must be an incredibly good feeling. Payback forever. Well done!

[@farm_in_themiddleofthewood3339]

Great job! That is such a nice feeling!!! Now you can continue to work in a non-snow environment over the winter...... at least we all hope so! Thanks for sharing!!

No kidding. It's been a long road, which makes me all the happier to know how close we are to the finish line. But even when the cabin is "compete" there will still be lots of work to do, in and around the cabin. Which suits me just fine. 😁

This is a request for anyone who can help me with a KZbin issue. Sometime back, I noticed that I did not have the ability to make a direct comment on a video anymore. I have never made a negative comment. Nor, have I received any information from YT about it. When I connect with a great channel such as the Outsider, there are times when I would like to say something positive. Can anyone tell me how to get that fixed? [e-mail]. My name is Ricky Thanks!
