Great series. Like they say, please do keep it going !

Giving you a thumbs up and commenting! Awesome job so far.

[@cookiemomster9000]

Thank you for another great video! I enjoy them all!

[@LiamsManual]

Glad to hear you are keeping the series going! This is definitely my favorite, after seeing the Kei Camper build.

[@MCLEO983]

You deserve way more views and subscribers. Bravo to you sir. You really are an inspiring dude.

Keep it up brother!

Looking grea, Michael!! I freaking HATE carpenter ants! And wood bees! I don't know if y'all have them in the PNW. Great video!

Nice, and looking forward to the boat

[@kshea4231]

Glad you got your cabin back from the ants!

[@elesjuan]

Thanks for sticking to it Mike. Enjoying this cabin!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks! 😊

[@outerfroggy1]

Honestly can say I've enjoyed every single one of your videos! Custom fabbing, dirt biking, building vehicles from scratch, cabin building, kei trucks, even just watching you standing around fishing. Until I can get out of the oil field I live vicariously through you lol

[@BricoleurTV]

Keep it up Mike! I would watch you watching paint drying 🤣

[@ifixit172]

Those pesky ants. I had to deal with them this summer in my little shop. Didn’t know where they were coming from and kept seeing a few here and there so had to set off an insect bomb in the shop. Not the best thing but too many places to search. No more ants for now. It takes a lot of work to set up, video, and edit but I enjoy watching the mini cabin build and getting ideas. Keep up the good work. 😁

[@rejeandevaux615]

Great job as always. Love the cabin build

Outstanding job on the cabin and that ceiling looks great. Glad to see you had a helper there for a while.

Thanks Tom 👍😊

[@FlawedOffroad]

That's the bad part about having variety content, there's no one video that will please everyone cause people subscribe for different reasons to different series. Mine while much smaller has the same issue. Side note, we are overdue for a mid video drum session haha. Take care Mike!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video! Yes you are absolutely right about having a channel with various different topics, I have considered making a different channel but that sounds like twice the work 🤣 maybe in a future video I will throw a drum break in 😊👍

Awesome stuff, Mike!!! Totally enjoy this series, and pretty much anything you put up. I always learn from you! Eager to see that boat vid. Just sold my B(ring)O(out)A(another)T(housand). 🤑

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Whatever you do, we'll be here for You. ( Maye a sacrificial stump/log a couple hundred feet away will keep the ants busy until you move?)

[@Grey_Beard72]

I love your work. I have a tiny channel that I have had going for about 6 years. My early videos used to go well into the thousands in views. I have way more subs now but the views have dropped tremendously. I'll put up a video now and I'm lucky to get a couple hundred views. A couple of my early videos are well over 20k and 30k. Something has definitely changed.

[@ChaoticNeutral36]

Boat = Break out another thousand. lol good luck with the boat. at this point of the build of your mini cabin, is not doing the weather stripping around the door the only thing you would have done earlier? keep it up Mike!

[@dougtravins9624]

For whatever reason, I like your videos. You are inspiring to those of us who might not want to take on certain projects, but do when you make it look easy. That ant infestation is crazy. They suddenly show up overnight and takeover. Same here in the Northeast!

[@JW-fq1pp]

That boat looks like an old Glastron, always liked those. Don't like carpenter ants, they bite if given the opportunity.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new cabin video! My boat is a 1973 Fiberform with a 40HP Jonson engine. It has some pretty good styling 😊👍 back to the carpenter ants, I have definitely been bit many times by them, they pack a pretty good pinch 🤏

Thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤

[@outbacktrekking3713]

Thanks Mike! It's been nice to follow along on this build.

[@DougsMessyGarage]

Cabin is coming along nicely Mike. One thing that I find works well to control the temperature in my camper is I installed a Fantastic ceiling vent that can exhaust out the roof. Once it cools off in the evening I open the window beside my bed and blow the warm air out the Fantastic, it’s almost like air conditioning. That little port hole would work well for the same purpose if you could find a way to vent the ceiling. I imagine the inside of that cabin smells amazing with the raw cut cedar.

[@msears101]

Mike, I love all that you do. You are a calm, breath a fresh air in this crazy world. Looking forward to some boat videos.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thank you! I really appreciate your comment 😊👍

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Mike, it is gonna be very interesting to see how you solve the energy storage issue. You are a smart and resourceful man so I know you will take us along for the adventure.

[@Mikefestiva]

So far the power box has worked well for the 12 volt system, it just doesn’t work well for 120 volts especially over 1400 watts. Everything I plan to run in the cabin will mainly be 12 volt and USB so it should be fine. I probably will run a few Solar Panels as well 👍😊

[@williamrehberg2546]

Well I've enjoyed watching the chronicles Mike!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Pepper, fine grind white pepper, at the base of the walls is one natural way to fend off ants!

[@markrichards3747]

I really like the choice of cedar for the ceiling, it should help with a bright look plus it has a good smell.

[@DecayWithUs]

Dang Mike, you deserve a drum break! I like how the celing is turning out, lookin good👍 I had those damnn ants two places in my house. I took care of them and never saw any again for year's now... I did step on one in my driveway recently tho... 😮

[@jasongarland3165]

@@Mikefestiva Mike I think you could make a little money renting a spare cabin out if you did not mind the hassle. I see people in the business of renting campers so I betcha it would rent.

[@pervysage3604]

Feel your pain man, carpenter ants are the biggest problem we have in my area. Walking from my cabin to the dog pen, I will cross 50 or 60 old nests that I have dumped poison on, then half a dozen new nests per day. If I walk into my forest every day you can find new hives / nests popping up. I go through a couple pounds of granular ant poison to try and control them and keep them out of my cabin. The sad thing is that I think the carpenter ants are a bigger problem than the Brown, and Black widows, as well as the Brown and Desert recluses that I have that swarm in my area. I'll get these super nests which have 1 or 2 black widows, then a dozen brown widows. But then those stupid ants will swarm and get into my pets food, or my trash, or just anything. They are the worst.
