Tour of the Dovetail Log Cabin and Plans for 2021!

[@jpisme9082]

Really nice cabin. Keep the balcony but screened in. Nothing like the balcony relaxing and watching wildlife.

Canada here...nice...thought put in...enjoy the fresh air son! Keep pushing...one love

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

[@brocknbrie990]

You are a humble and gracious young man.... very nice work.

[@PenniacWilderness]

You are so kind! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@hzleyes7087]

You built this yourself, you’re a real man!

[@PenniacWilderness]

Ha well, Thank you! It was a dream of mine.

[@livelife4471]

Nice resort and the best part of it is that you built it yourself. The intrinsic rewards of building it yourself will make you appreciate it all the more. Size doesn't matter as much as functionality. Enjoy it, it's your reward for your efforts.

[@roxiejanney5947]

Love the cabin! You will never regret making the extension larger.

[@Andy-in5yn]

Thank you for the tour mate, you and yours have created a beautiful little cabin in a beautiful area. I have enjoyed watching your journey and again thank you for sharing. It truly is an awesome build and you should be proud of your accomplishment, so well done!!! Looking forward to your next video's. Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@richardmiller3883]

Thats a great cabin guy. Always excited to see whats new.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Thanks Richard! Hoping to keep working on a few things throughout the winter and keep you posted.

[@simpleforging3339]

I watched your videos on the build process a little over a year ago. Nice to see the cabin now that you have an inside. Your videography has improved a lot too. Congrats from Nasonworth.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Thanks a lot, neighbour! We have tried to improve with videography and building as we move along, it is certainly a learning process. Appreciate the comment.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy friend- your cabin looks great! There will always be something you will want to do or change as you go along. That’s part of the journey of doing a cabin build for yourself. Here in the States in the old days people would build the log part of their cabin and build on later as was necessary. I recently looked at a house that had been built completely around a log cabin that was built in the mid 1800’s. It was the first time I had seen logs that old that had absolutely no damage at all. The logs were still perfect. Thank you for the tour. God bless you

[@pascalchavanon1930]

Gracias por tu trabajo... Es una casa preciosa... ¡Disfrútala!

[@BWOSHR]

1. On the stove side of your ladder shelves, you could put thick flexible clear plastic flaps about 1.5-2" wide--overlapping them maybe 1/4" to give you access yet keep most of the dirt out of your goods. 2. If you put a drain pipe from the sink outside, you could put screening over the end of the pipe to keep insects & mice out.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Really good idea! Thank you so much. Clever and simple.

[@BWOSHR]

@@PenniacWilderness You are certainly welcome. On the screen over a drain pipe--a simple screen secured with a moderately thick wire might allow you to take it off & clean it if it started clogging up with bits of stuff in the drain water. Or, alternately, keeping a screen in the bottom of the sink would likely work, too.

[@williamhazard5361]

Very impressive cabin. Lots of thought went into the construction. Front and back porches are great as is the upper deck, great once screened in. Now, a sauna close to the creek for a cool dip after the sauna. Keep well and enjoy the rest of the winter

Thanks and welcome! Where are you writing from?

[@andreewert1142]

yes, an extension on the side would be nice..do it 10x12 minimum..it s not work to do it a bit bigger..as for the roof slope...consider putting in a cathedral ceiling like the cabin with the roof ridge, perpendicular to the cabin..that way you get extra height and also better steeper slopes than if you were prolonging the slope of the current roof..put salvaged 5-inch urethane panels on the roof or old garage doors that are insulated..lots of them around..leave the wood planks and joists apparent, put in a ceiling fan for ambiance and utility in the guest bedroom..consider using 2 french doors swiveling doors into it...or two nice wood louvered doors (recycled) ..great look that is timeless..

[@PenniacWilderness]

Thank you Andre! Great thoughts. I like the ideas you have shared. I like the idea of cathedral ceiling with the roof ridge beam, I think that is the way I plan to go. I had never heard about the garage door idea!

[@andreewert1142]

@@PenniacWilderness not a garage door..a french door ..opens like a swinging door and opens the space up but you can still close it , for privacy and Heating reasons..and you can find a ton of used french doors in Salvage yards..french doors have glass in them..like at Versailles..but to stay true to the cabin feel, ideally find them in raw wood and varnish or wax them.

[@geoffreywilliams7530]

Another way to go is to build other little cabins-friggebod is what they are called in Sweden. Have your main cabin as the community space and then the other little ones as bedrooms.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Interesting! That might be a good idea. The old time hunting guides in this area sort of did that. They had a cook camp, guide camp and sport camp.

[@geoffreywilliams7530]

@@PenniacWilderness As you can see in my thumbnail I have a decent sized A Frame cabin. Can fit 8 people. But there is really zero privacy. I am going to build a couple small a frame “bedrooms”. Nicer for everyone IMO

Hey great cabin build series, I have enjoyed following the adventure. Just a note about the jackery unit, most of them come standard with a solar panel input cable and I think they have internal charge controllers, so you can just plug the solar panel power supply directly into them. Have a look and see?

[@PenniacWilderness]

Hi Barry! Nice to hear from you. In the winter, food storage has been quite easy. We have an old metal gun case actually that we store it in outside and the cool temps are enough. When spring comes, I will have to find another plan. The stream has large ice blocks and I have a lot of sawdust, so I have thought about doing that option. We will see! The stream has mostly trout in it. In the old days there were salmon.

I know you're debating a stand-alone vs attached addition for get-togethers. I might ask myself if I'd use the extra space when alone or w/'mate'. I'd probably enjoy the option of having another space easily accessible instead of having to go out then in. But, on the other hand, cutting more openings into your beautiful dovetail walls seems kinda sad! I loved the idea someone else had of a cathedral ceiling. Maybe add a big harvest table? Your dream though, and so far I'm impressed by all your choices. Cheers from Ohio.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Hi David - Thanks for the message. I think I've solved the problem by adding an extension on the front of the cabin. Hoping to finish it in May. Hope all is well with you!
