First of all, I’m so relieved you got those metal shards dealt with. Taking care of yourself is a way of taking care of your family. And secondly, what a beautiful hearth. You’ve made such a lovely space. I think your dad would be proud.

[@jenford7078]

As always just beautiful, hand-crafted work. I have been watching since you began harvesting and peeling logs, I thought how is this young guy going to get anything out of those mud caked logs? Not only did you but you showed us through it all and have a lovely cabin for your family and our eyes... And you've done it with grace.

[@jlouutube65]

You are one tough cookie...you're Dad, I'm sure, was so proud of you!!

[@jjcross3280]

As always, great content. I work in the trades and never really had the opportunity to observe a hearth being laid down. I have a much greater appreciation now for how many times a stone has to be muscled around from the time it lands on to property until the time of the finished product. Glad to hear of your progress from the grinder accident, your injury wasn’t for nothing I’ve used grinders and cut offs a lot and every time I grab one now I am instantly reminded of your mishap and exercise that much more caution.

[@jaquigreenlees]

I suspect there would be 2 differences from what Outsider just showed us. They would place the stone with thinset mortar and use grout between for majority of houses. The second difference would be stone tile instead of field stone. Even odd shapes they would work with the tiles usually.

[@dgordon1844]

I am very happy to see you use the cement board under your stone. It not only provides a good base but it will save your cabin from burning down, I had a friend who almost lost his home by placing the stone on the subfloor, When the stone cracks, and it will in time, the sparks from you stove will work their way through and on to the base material. Many local building codes require the base material to be a cement type just for this reason. Good job!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks for sharing that! It's a valuable story that will hopefully spare others the same issue. Cement board is a must!

[@rotorhawg8052]

Wow! That accident (I hadn’t seen it before) just shows that mishaps can happen to even the most careful of us. It was truly cringe-worthy. Your stone hearth is beautiful! When I was a child, my brother and I joined our mother and a neighbor and her children to gather stones for a stone patio for us and one for the neighbor. We spent a lot of time jigsawing those stones into a beautiful patio. I don’t remember cutting stone but my father might have helped when he had time after work. Stay safe!

From the loss of your mother & father, becoming a father yourself & your beautiful wife having her battles, you persevered through it all.

Looks absolutely amazing my friend. You continue to show pride in your craftsmanship and I'm sure Outsider Senior is looking down with pride.

[@sj6404]

Another beautiful video. Glad your arm is better. Pro trick for the mortar - use two buckets. Dip your sponge in the clean water bucket, wipe up as much grout as it will hold, then squeeze the rag, dip into the clean bucket and as soon as water fills into sponge, quickly remove it and squeeze the dirty water into a second sponge. By doing this, your clean water bucket will remain cleaner longer and you'll be able to remove more grout without making water bucket changes.

Thanks Brother Outsider, that was REALLY cool to watch! I had questions about what you were doing but you ended up answering them during the process. Like the purpose of laying the cement board for example. My thoughts and prayers to your family and you during this 1st year of 'Holidays Without.' I especially feel my mom's absence during Thanksgiving and Christmas and I suspect your 1st holidays without Dad will be the same. I like what Bill Johnson, Sr. Pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, CA said about the recent passing of his wife: "1st we have seasons where we miss them, then (at some point just) moments." And it's all normal. Though I don't know of any Scripture to support it I like to believe that they still see/know what's going on with us here. Mostly just the Peace of God (Phil.4:7) helps us in our hearts and minds to be at rest about it. CONGRATS as well on Episode 100! Another Outside milestone to be sure. 💯🥳
