That looks uhhh-maze-ing!!!! I would leave the inside corners alone. They look super. Fantastic work, you two!

[@jmwarden1]

I would agree, that spalded pine looks good just the way it is.

[@rhettabney2838]

Rhett

[@Vigalman1]

VERY nice job and this comes from a wood worker of 62 years

[@Graeme408]

THE INSIDE CORNERS ARE CLEAN AND MODERN WITHOUT TRIM. I wouldn’t clutter the inside corners. What you have done looks wonderful, with very clean lines and the natural wood still connects well with the outside world. You two are doing an exceptional job. Katie I admire your skill and workmanship, you are a pro with a wonderful sense of design.

[@ericpalmu9694]

You are one tough woman!!! You have pipes!!

[@sonnywineberger3471]

Hello hope all is well. For some reason I must resubscribe every time I check in on your post. I like your old goats they are fun to watch. It was 83 here in Tampa yesterday but 68 today. 😊

[@cindyshelton1053]

Your woodwork is absolutely beautiful. You should be very proud of yourselves. 😊

[@BethS55]

It turned out Beautiful 😍 Katie, if it looks complete, than no more trim. I love it!

[@davidrichardson5958]

You have done an amazing job, beautiful workmanship. Even more special is that you have used your own milled lumber.

[@kevinwiley9696]

The wall looks AWESOME!! I LOVE the blue-grey highlights!!

[@wendellmoore3285]

Leave center alone,, it all looks great, y'all both do such good work,, I know I do wood work myself,,❤

[@aeros4me]

Katie is such a great worker! Nothing seems to faze her. Well done you guys ;) Just love the enthusiasm you share :) Cheers Ray (UK)

[@bradcurtis5324]

You could use quarter round for the inside corners. Smaller the better. It would hide what you need and pretty much become invisible after you stain.

[@richardherring8220]

Katie, I think you should trim out the inside corners the same as you did the outside corners, I would suggest that you make a short one up and see how you like before going all in !

[@frederickopcak4974]

You two have done just an awesome job. Incredible workmanship. You should be proud. God Bless

[@sherw6456]

That beetle-kill is insanely gorgeous! So beautiful...and what great work you both did fitting it all; love watching you work together! This may not be y'all's "style", but what about natural rope, like jute, for the corner butt trim? Maybe too rustic, but it popped into my head. Keep up the fantastic work! Love your videos, and your music selections!

[@TheHavasu_77]

You guys, the staircase walls turned out so beautiful!!! I can’t wait to see you guys finish the stairs with that wood you saved a looooong time ago for them!! 😊❤

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Thanks so much!!

[@klmorris1576]

I am glad you guys had enough material milled to complete your project. It looks great in the video. I was worried you would get 80% finished and run out of usable pieces.

[@smarthome2660]

Hey guys, I always cope my inside corners. Alternating left then right, butt a left piece on then scribe a right side, butt a right side, then scribe a left, rinse & repeat. You can also add a 1"x1" first then butt all to that inside corner. Outside corners can be 45 degree scribed as well for a much cleaner look. This looks amazing when you use a lap siding with no inside or outside corner trims. This method when doing lap siding requires every board be the exact same width.

[@markmckeachnie4484]

Looks great hard to believe you we’re basically learning how to build a house and now you dam good carpenter,100 thumbs up to y’all

[@dalefriday5496]

Stairwell looks great! I would mill some 3/8" X 3/8" trim boards out of the same lumber for the inside corners. Doesn't need much at all. Good job, guys!

[@livin_life_321]

That pine is beautiful. The inside corners look nice and tight, so I would leave those as is. It's a nice clean rustic look. Nice job!

[@gilbertlane4522]

That is a "WOW" guys. Looks incredible. ❤

[@Michael-uo8sg]

This looks great. If it was my place I would put a corner trim. It’s just a matter of taste. Not many people will notice anyways. One suggestion though, make one trim and just place it temporarily then you can ask what is better, with or without the trim. But, you will be the ones looking at it every day lol.

[@kevinstenholm40]

The walls look great! If there aren't any large gaps on the inside corners I would leave it be, it adds to the rustic look I think.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

Do the inside corners the same as the outside corners.Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

The wood is beautiful, don’t do anything to change it.

[@flyinggyros9745]

That railing top sure gives it a finished look. Alan

[@ritahall8653]

I love love love the wall that you built near the staircase. You did a awesome job it’s beautiful.

[@MommaOG]

Nah I wouldn't trim the inside corners it looks good as is. Great job you two. Have a great day 🙂💐

[@romeorice583]

Looks great!! On the inside corner trim - depends. If you’re wanting to hang things for holidays, I’d suggest a 1” x 1” piece. That way you can put in small eye screws to the trim & leave the main wall “unholy”…but not in the bad way 😉 That way it’s an easy hang & take down

[@danparks3799]

The wall looks great! Y’all do good work. It looks good the way it is. We enjoy your content.

[@kmorris5124]

Use a piece of quarter round for inside corners. Woo has lots of character

[@laruedouglas7972]

That turned out beautifully 😊. Inside corners look good the way they are.

[@ElmerMiller-cr6mj]

Usually no need to trim out inside corners unless it looks gappy. Looks amazing as it is.

[@petercorinallen]

If you don't want to buy another router bit to produce more shiplap boards then cut your rebate or rabbit with your table saw, it will need 2 cuts, 1 cut with the face of the board down on the table and the 2nd cut with the face of the board to the fence. Hope this helps. Kind regards from a woodworker in England 🇬🇧

[@ronsibila7795]

Your projects always turn out so beautiful!! Maybe just a simple 1/4" v bead on those inside corners....

[@meanderingmanat7038]

❤️ Beautiful. Trim inside corner only if it’s going to bug you in the future. Putting a plant or cabinet in front of it, no one will notice.

[@davedavis662]

Turned out great, if you trim the outside, trim the inside. Also trim out the windows, it will make a huge difference.

[@judithauclair8935]

Once again you guys out did yourselves, shipman looks awesome. All left to do is trim and u will have a beautiful room

[@robertstewart5685]

You do not want to push your router bit all the way in, they make little balls you drop in to keep it from bottoming out. Try an 1/8” from the bottom, use tape for a reference, then reduce your feed rate. Looks great, fun watching

[@mikepregont1658]

Upper staircase wall Looks excellent!!

[@t4leta]

Folks when it comes to your storage she/mill cover. Some of your viewers concerns are just concerns, others are busybodies. I say you do you. Gathering different opinions can be helpful, but bottom line is it’s your decision. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@micahwatson9017]

In this style of finish, less is more. No trim on the interior corners. Looks great!

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

You should trim-out all corners. Love the raw wood look. Fantastic finish.

[@georgevangordon9728]

If your boards fit tight on the inside corners just leave it like it is if you have gaps then trim it out

[@irenebellis-t6z]

Smashing! As they say over here, it looks brilliant, no trim .

[@glendajune9140]

Great work Greg,& Katie! Love how y’all put in the work. The results are always phenomenal. See ya next time.💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@jonahbauman-t8q]

Hi Kids, how are you doing. It's looking good do not rush you have more time than money. Think about a clear finish on it to make it glow. The cover you pick it. Stay safe OK. A

[@jbbrown7907]

So nice to see someone working with teal wood.

[@florencecampbell774]

Beautiful,well done to the both of you.Your hard work has paid off,it is lovely.The dog is lovely.👏👏👏🌺.

[@jocelyncritch8512]

Looks like a great day for outside work.

[@1MartinWaite]

That pine would look lovely with a counting of Osma 3032 satin finish it’s a wax oil and 2 coats of it on that wood and it will make the grain and the colours really stand out and protect the wood for years when I did wooden floors we used it on them and it increased the value of the floor boards we sold from £15 per square yard to £60 per square yard we would make ornaments etc and we coated everything in Osma 3032 and the value always went right up it was unbelievable how good it made the wood look also increasing the value and preserving the wood for future generations to admire. My oak flooring has been down for. 12 years now and still looks as good as new😊😊😊😊

[@cobb344]

Personally, I’d leave the inside corners as they are. It looks great! Later, after you’ve lived with it a while… you could put a small table, bookshelf or basket to camouflage it.

[@davidwilkie9709]

Leave the inside corners alone. They look clean! Great job!

[@heatherd3660]

Wow, it looks amazing! Must be very gratifying to tick another task off of the “to do” list. 😁

[@JacquesvanZyl-u9q]

Maybe just give it a clear coat it will bring out there color of the grain. Its actually creating a corner so you can also think of adding a fold down table surface. Great work done guys

[@curtfunk2370]

This is a real testament to your offgrid power supply - running the vacuum, planer and presumably a compressor plus lights. That's great.

[@rafton3048]

3:50 You can advance the guide of your under-table milling machine on the cutter to adjust the cutting depth you want to make on your boards. This way you can use the cutter without the bearing. All you have to do is push the boards against the guide on either side of the cutter.

[@scottmorris4914]

looks really good with the cap on the wall, and the pine trim. Inside corners look fine without the trim.

[@DeborahSmith-h3l]

Leave it!! Absolutely beautiful!!

[@JudyTyler-d2m]

It looks beautiful you both have such great taste love watching you both and your fur babies

[@greghernandez9772]

WOW ❤ AMAZING

[@dennisparisian7040]

I like you used the blue wood

[@jerrystout3032]

Outstanding Craftsman ship!!😇 Great Job guys!😇!😇

[@lindashearin3996]

You two are so talented!! That looks wonderful!! You should be so proud. 👍😍

[@russellwatters5891]

The closet and feature wall all look amazing! I love the beetle stained pine wood to build with. Personally, I'd 1/4 or 1/2" round trim in the corners, but that's just me. They look great naked, but trimming the corners and not inside looks weird to me is all. Love ya'll ❤️

[@jeanmariesayre3980]

The wood you're using is absolutely beautiful and will just get better with time ... thanks for letting me ride along with y'all on this journey

[@hatcherhollerhoodlum4418]

Rockn them Jean's n the thumbnail 👍🏻💃🤩 And good job Greg!!!🔨✏📐

[@kennethhudson8013]

Yall just knock it out, teamwork!

[@ebroydell]

It looked great before the trim, it looked a lot better than I expected after you added the trim, so maybe try an inside section with a triangle trim if you have any. 🔺

[@sshaw9046]

Wow the beauty of natural wood. It looks great

[@HulkVol79]

Leave the corners the way they are. Looks Great!!!

[@MikeEdwards121963glassman]

a inside cove corner would look nice . Very nice work you have done so far.

[@brianbedell7143]

Katie it's looking gorgeous. The corner looks great to me if you won't to fancy it up you could use a small inside corner trim. You to do such a great job with milling your own lumber,trim and doing all your building. I can't criticize anything you all do.❤❤❤

[@rghirlanda]

Beautiful! Well done. I'd leave the inside corners untrimmed.

[@edwardshupe6215]

The wall looks beautiful! Katie your hair is getting long and looks wonderful. You will be able to do so many things with it

[@anthonyromano2793]

Woodwork is gorgeous. Excellent work!

[@jdogden1]

Looking good, router the horizontal and 3/4 round for inside corners. Stay warm.

[@racebanning6390]

AWESOME!!! HAVING THE BUILDING EXPERIENCE I DO, I SAY THE TRIM LOOKS GREAT, AND THAT CORNER IS SO CLEAN AND PLANKS ALIGNED, LEAVE IT, IT FLOWS PERFECT. WELL DONA AND ALL THE HARD WORK, NATURAL MATERIALS ARE PAYING OFF IN LOOK AND FUNCTION... BRAVO TO YOU ALL. YA IM STOKED TO SEE THAT STORAGE BARN UTILIZED, GREG BEING HOME NOW SO MUCH GETTIN DONE CONGRATS AGAIN. ENJOY EACH DAY, NO ONE KNOWS TOMORROW. BE BLESSED YA ALL. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍☝☝🔨🪓🪚🚜

[@clarencetinney548]

Love it! The natural colors of the wood looks fantastic. Great job guys!

[@lindad2008]

Stunning!!! You should be so proud!😘

[@mkbtnvols]

I would install a simple triangle inside corner trim you can rip on the table saw and its done. the smaller the better and you can glue it in place. Love the team work.

[@chriswarren274]

One step at a time everything looks beautiful that you do ❤ lots of hard work into it from your heart and soul💕

[@robertgriffin9748]

I wouldn’t bother with that corner. Looks great!

[@StevenBryant-l4h]

Very nice leave inside corners alone. That would draw your eyes away from the beautiful patterns of the rest of the wood

[@JacquesvanZyl-u9q]

Hi you 2. Following you all the way from South Africa. Great job done. I will not change it at all.

[@sarahschlosser1203]

The wood wall is beautiful! Nice job guys

[@robertlusnia506]

I would leave the inside corners alone, looks nice the way it is

Good morning or good afternoon hope you're having a wonderful day out there keep up the good work I'm proud of both of you

[@jeremydoty9971]

Looks beautiful guys

[@jayboshuis3791]

John the Master Electrician here. The short corner wall, why no electrical outlets for a lamp on a table with a nice chair. In the USA the code would require at least one receptacle on each short wall greater than 2'.

[@waynenigliaccio221]

Looks awesome. You both do a great job on the wood work. Love watching you build as much as you can from your land.

[@phuongvo3051]
