Roof and Windows (I'm Still Alive) / OFF Grid CABIN Building (S4 Ep6)

[@nikrijavec47]

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the nice comments, I didn't expect such a great response after not making a video for so long. Also I would like to say that there's someone in the comments pretending to be me and telling people about a giveaway. Don't click on anything, because it's a fake account, I've never done a giveaway.

[@Metjas]

Make sure to report too 👏

[@BlummerDrummer]

There can be only one Nik!!

[@stevepickering5866]

Glad to have you back Nik, your videos have been one of my favourites from the beginning of your journey, so much so I have begun to build my own cabin here in the South West of the UK, thanks for motivating me !

If you don't mind me asking, where are you located, country wise, I was thinking either France or Austria?

[@Marcomarco-mj3gt]

You don't have to apologise,your family and your life are THE priority. Very good job!!

[@Rebel-Forces-Earth-007]

I have to admit I’m one of those concerned viewers that thought you might’ve had an accident while building, I’m elated to know you’re ok and your family is fine. I love the progress you’ve made. Cheers mate.

[@iankriel4170]

I've missed you. Please don't stay away so long again😢❤️🙏

[@Heisstrong]

Hi Nik, we love your videos, here in the USA. I have watched them all. I have thought about you many times on whether you and your family were alright. Happy to hear from you and see what you have done on your log home. Cheers Nik! 👍👏

[@trevorav]

Glad you and your family are well. Happy to see the progress is continuing!

[@audas]

I remember when you were hauling those logs out of the forest, and then stuck up that jig - and I thought WTF? My whole "log cabin" journey started with Richard Proenneke. Good job mate.

[@frankpohl4377]

yeah but Richard build his home in 6 months with some extras. This guy is a contentproducer thats all. He is a kid looking for YT cash. A MEN has a goal and runs for it.

[@andrewgammon5033]

​@@frankpohl4377 you try building a log cabin yourself. I know a tradesmen when i see one. Nik is a hardworking tradesmen and not a kid trying to make cash.

[@frankh.valenzuelaabuelotej652]

The fact of the matter NIk, is that I watch your channel (this one) for the very interesting content of the video. In my opinion, you don't need to change your method of presentation at all. Your work speaks for itself and really has enough voice over that you don't need that much more conversation. Most of the viewers, I would say, became fascinated with the way your work was presented to us, the youtube public. This method is working for you and you really shouldn't change just because there are some that may differ in opinion. Let them get there own channel and produce it the way they want. As for me, I am glad that you are back and, look forward to more of your videos that are presented as you envisioned them. Peace be with you.

[@ninikelley9146]

Glad to see you back. I really am enjoying watching your progress.

[@xeleniarodriguezcampos6974]

Hi, I like watching your videos, I've been waiting for you to upload one for a long time, I'm glad you're back, I greet you and your family from Costa Rica, blessings 🙏

Amazing work! Don't be sorry for this video taking so long, you don't own anyone anything besides yourself. Love the progress, wish you all the best.

Welcome back, We have been waiting for your next video. Great job.

Nick, you've been gone so long! Everyone missed you! Don't disappear for so long anymore. Health to you and your family!!!

[@buddyreed2623]

Hello Nik. It is good to see you back. I do not keep up with folks. For those that I subscribe to, the videos show up and I watch them. It was good to hear the end that things are a bit more comfortable. Your children will not remain forever young. They need your attention. We, your subscribers, will be here when you post a video. If you do start another channel, I will take a look. Have good days!

[@rickebert399]

Your content is always worth the wait I have other KZbinrs that put out weekly or daily and honestly sometimes I forget about you but I'm always excited when I get a notice that you have a video up and can't wait to watch it. Keep up the good work

[@leviwells7017]

Welcome Back Nik! We've missed you! And don't appologize for taking care of your family!!

[@heathmix3204]

I am very happy that you are back, and as someone who has watched this amazing project since its inception and am familiar with your seasonal breaks in content I had assumed that this was the reason for the break. Still, any reason a content creator needs to take a break is perfectly reasonable and expected. If anyone who tells you otherwise is unreasonable. You do amazing work, and it is worth the wait.

[@elliotazus6258]

Hi Nik, Excellent channel you have, which with all the subscribers have that's over a half a million People wondering what happened to you. I'm so glad you and your family are ok!! What an inconvenient winter for you. I am very glad you are back. I have a youtuber buddy in Canada who does what you're talking about. Shawn James and My Self Reliance. God bless and take care you and your family from California.

[@51pinn]

Dear Nik, I´m so happy to see you again working on your cabin and knowing, nothing bad happened to you and your family. You did a really good job all the years and hopefully you succeed in anything you plan to do the next time. Please don`t let your followers wait another half year - we all are hungry to see the development of your home. Best wishes from northern Germany to you and your family.

Да как сказать добротный, много ошибок допущено при строительстве. Только в одной этой серии: утеплитель положил неправильно, без нахлёста между слоями - сплошные мостики холода. Доски на крышу настелил заражённые грибком. Все эти нюансы превратятся в серьёзные проблемы через несколько лет.

[@lindacoase4974]

Missed your lovely videos. Please don't disappear again.

[@oakleyjack7600]

It’s natural to see people concerned when you are doing construction where one misplaced step or a kickback of the saw could affect you for several months. People get a connection with you and your family and just want to see that you are safe and happy. You might just do a 2 minute short video occasionally and put a regular video out in the summer when you have the time. All the best Nick.

[@silviosirianni9260]

[@1MartinWaite]

Glad to see you back and I for one amongst many have truly missed seeing your castle, you and your family. I’m sure glad all is ok. I don’t understand KZbin’s obsession with making all video creators open up a second channel is it that it’s costing them so much, so they make you start again you must be the 15th creator that’s been forced to make another channel that I watch and a few of them already have a second channel running along side of the one I watch. Tbh I don’t generally watch the second channel as I struggle to fit in all the channels I already watch but do whatever feels right to you and I might watch your second channel when this one goes off for a while haha. Nice to see the work continuing and you managed to get it dried in before the rains came. I look forward to seeing the inside work done .

[@8287tjsaboe]

We're all glad you and your family are doing well! We've missed you and the content. Looking forward to more videos in the future. Take care, and stay safe!

Wow, you have come very far! I remember living off grid for years with no hot water. We did electricity and I took an old coffee machine and converted it into a hot tub LOL. I bought a plastic bathtub, drilled a whole for the heating element of the coffee pot and installed it. Took about 30 minutes, the water was nice and warm, turned it off, unplugged it and hopped in LOL.

Hi Nik, glad to hear you and your family are well. I'm not sure why, but I take great comfort and joy from watching your videos, and you're often in my thoughts when I'm working on my own projects at home. There was one year when you dropped a new video on either Christmas day or New Year's day ( I forget which), and it felt like such a present. Now, every Christmas time, I get hopeful that a new video will appear from you. The long wait between uploads just makes your videos more special when they arrive. Thank you, and keep up the good work. Nick from Kent, UK.

🤔🤔Always thought Nik you have the perfect climate for a rain catchment system if you could find two 1500 gallion poly tanks. That you could eather bury in the ground a 1/4 deep. Than wrap them fro top to bottom with insulation and cover with steel roof panels using 1/4 inch cable and clamps to hold it all together. 💡💡Nik we wouldn't mind if you have to upload #Shorts on this channel once a week even.
