Self Reliance Lessons from my Dad | First Overnight at the Cabin

[@ShawnJames1]

I'm really enjoying spending this time together and I'm very proud of you!

[@SusanLindsey2407suz420]

Was so nice to see you two working together.

[@Mindy-s-channel]

I’m really enjoying her channel. So glad I found it through your channel. She is so fun to watch

[@pelegon1257]

Great work and really nice to see how well you guys work together. 👍

[@hillbillydeluxe5534]

I thought the reason we haven't been seeing Shawn as much was because he was in the trucker convoy!!

[@MSDOGS1976]

You have a good instructor. Nice progress made and looks 👍. Keep the videos coming.

[@pondgazer]

You could not possibly be learning these skills from a better teacher! It's great to see the progress! You have the best family in the world.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@jonhansen100]

Sometimes "assemble yourself" furniture like your island can get rickety over time. A way to strengthen it is to use an adhesive caulk in a caulking gun to bond the joinery together without need to reassemble it. I highly recommend DAP Kwik Seal Tub and Tile (clear). It's a water based adhesive caulk so water cleanup is easy. Cut the tip of the caulking tube so the hole is about 1/8", no bigger. Then run a bead where all the pieces join together at 90 degrees on the inside, one at a time. Wet your finger tip and run it along the bead to smooth it. The trick is to run the bead about 1/8" to 3/16" (narrower than a bead of toothpaste) so as not to apply too much which is wasteful and messy. Keep a rag or sponge and bucket of water handy to wipe any excess. It will dry clear in 24 hours at room temp and your furniture will last much longer and be much sturdier. To close and seal the caulking tube, wrap the tip with a scrap of plastic wrap to keep it airtight and secure with a medium to large wire nut which I'm sure you Dad would have.

[@markfuller9328]

I watch your fathers channels and I think it is simply great you are following in your fathers footsteps in becoming self reliant as that is the way the world is going now and it is important people learn these skills now, well done Emily will continue to watch your progress

[@tomgrantham9992]

Good Job girl. You are a great role model. Remember, it's winter, spend it outdoors.

[@ksingleton101]

Emily, I found your link on your Dad's KZbin Channel, My Self Reliance. You couldn't ask for better parents, they have taught you well. God Bless You.

[@brendagervais5566]

Looks lovely and the perfect peaceful get away. Thank you for sharing

[@shirleyanderson8441]

Well thought out: i.e., pocket door. The barstools are cute. The tank top made me cold--but, I'm a senior and love my sweats.

[@jayweston6893]

I have been following your father since the beginning. Congratulations on what looks like a generational new start for you.

[@michaelwolfman4546]

My daughter watched me rebuild my home in Long Island and a 54' Jag roadster, during the 70"s and 80's. She picked up skills by watching and helping me along the way. Now she does her own repairs and small building projects. It's great to see how independent they've become. So I'm sort of reliving those years with you and your daughter. Thanks much for the memories. 🐺

[@henrialbinus3967]

It's looking more and more like home Emily, very nice and cozy.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

The cabin exterior is incredible. Excellent eye!

[@mariam5841]

I followed up your Dad's advice to watch your channel and I don't regret it as you are really good 😊 I just watched all your videos to make sure I'd enjoy and I'm happy. Sending you lots of love ❤ and wishing you a great future with this chosen life of yours, from South of Spain 🇪🇸

[@edwardalvarado8889]

The cabin already looks cozy, can't wait until the inside is fully finished. Emily your going on strong with this project, enjoy it and cherish every moment of it. you have a good supporter, your dad. He must be very happy with you. Keep up the good work.

[@kevinjefferson3957]

I love it when a family works together. You picked a great helper but I'm glad he didn't try to drag a tree in on his back and make a wall out of it. The cabin is looking great.

[@janebrommet7942]

Thanks Shawn for putting this link on your channel. Emily is blessed to have you as her father. Emily I am so looking forward to following you and you have impressed me with the abilities you have already mastered at such a young age.

You and your family inspire me sooooo much. I have been watching your Dad for years and am enjoying seeing your content too. Your cabin is becoming so cozy! I moved to rural Maine in order to live a more self reliant lifestyle too and I draw so much from your energy and determination. Keep up the great work and thank you for the enjoyable content.

[@marjour22]

It’s always beautiful to see a father spend time with her daughter!! In Spanish we say: de tal palo, tal astilla… Most be something like, the branch it’s always like the tree.

Good job! This brings back memories of working with my dad who was a plumber. I am nearly 60 now and still use and appreciate the skills he taught me.

[@marshamercer876]

Mr James what a sweet dad you are. Helping and showing ur daughter how to do it.

[@brentbrown8393]

Your cabin is turning out to be a cabin with a wonderful warm and cozy ambience, It's going to be a wonderful place to go to empty the mind and meditate about faith, important plans and decisions, and of course relax, and eat good food.

[@windycortes8993]

A chip off the block. Happy to see you are fallowing in your dad's foot steps. Good luck with everything. It looks so peaceful there

[@maggiemae444]

That was sweet. So nice to see you working together. Thanks!

[@foresthomestead2088]

Really appreciate seeing a generational approach to self sufficiency. We are just beginning our journey, but plan a similar approach to include any of our adult children who are interested.

[@bluejeans8001]

Building more than an off-grid cabin, priceless memories that will be yours forever. Great job.👍👍👍

[@shereew214]

I thought your dinner looked fantastic and I'm all about one pan meals. Glad you are cooking at the cabin. You have a quite, peaceful place to study. Wishing you lots of success in everything you do. That sky was beautiful and I'm glad you took some time to enjoy it and share it with us.

[@NolanderGaming]

You have your Dad's knack for filming, well done on the video! Be blessed you and yours!

[@1976smb]

Emily, don't knock yourself. The food looks great, good job on the cabin. We really enjoy your work ethic, your Mom and Dad must be very proud of you. My Mom, and I enjoy your Dad and your videos. If everyone was like your family this world would be a better place. Thank you for sharing with us, I wish I could give Cali a hug.

[@emilyaisling]

Thank you so much!!

[@1976smb]

@@emilyaisling I vote for the color/colour of your door like your Yeti mug. Red is over done, a light blue would really pop. Hilarious the post below is your Dad saying he is proud of you. I can't wait until you both have your cabins done.

[@kayfabe591]

That dinner looks delish. You go, skilled craftsperson, Emily! My husband taught me to use various tools, starting in my late 20's, during our own earliest home builds/repairs. Soon after, I discovered that my fave woodshop hobbies are constructing children's furniture and dollhouse miniatures. Right after completing her 2 college degrees at 22yo, our daughter learned power tool skills to do major renovations with her new husband in their first home. I'm happy for you, and hope you enjoy all those comforts and the equity-building benefits provided by your handiworks.👩‍🔧🎓🏆

[@haroldfoust]

A great video can't wait to see your dad back on his cabinNC👏

[@bennyt.christensen3970]

Hi there 👍 your dad talked about your channel, so here i am, first view at your cabin. Nice tiny house, stay safe and warm 👍

[@lieuwina]

That was a good idea putting a pocket door on your bathroom. Well done. What a lovely place to be able to go to and study in peace and quiet. Have a lovely day.

[@barrybruckner4334]

We've been following your dad for several years. Excited to see your adventures!

[@crazyoldbat7600]

I have a daughter who is working full time, online college courses, and navigating running a household. You are doing an awesome job. Life is about learning but also about having serenity in doing it. You seem to be juggling a lot of that and it looks good on you.

[@emilyaisling]

Thank you! Your daughter sounds amazing as well

[@kopenhagenkid]

Beautiful sunset 🌅 Emily

[@teddygingerbear1372]

Hi! Just found your channel or maybe your channel found me. I’ve been enjoying your dad’s Self Reliance videos for many years now. How wonderful to have your dad help with your own home.

Emily, you are without doubt a positive role model for young people and your own person. The greatest compliment that I know to give you is that you are your father’s daughter! Well done. From Santa Chuck

[@maryflower3479]

It is looking really great and it is nice to see you working with your father.

[@richardzeiders5496]

After watching your father these past few years and admiring his knowledge and expertise, it's obvious you couldn't have a better mentor to help you on your journey of self reliance. Good luck and best wishes. Tell your dad I say great job raising you and hello from me.

[@joyceb5864]

You really are your father's daughter!! So good to see you working together, but even better is watching you tackle tasks that would scare most young girls. I have no doubt you could survive anything your Dad could. Your parents must be extremely proud of you!!

[@joyfullrecipesjoyfullrecip6009]

Brava Emily! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I appreciate your commitment to create a personal space and building it up with your hands...and your dad too! Keep going... I’m looking forward to watching your improvements and suggestions. Love and blessings from Italy! 🤗😘💫💫💫🍀🍀🍀😉😉💕💕💕

I look forward to watching your channel grow and we wish you all the best!
