Option B for the sauna!!!

[@joycewoodrowrigby2167]

Good morning James & King Clovis 🥰☕ We have a 2 year old Golden retriever named Cooper & he loves Clovis he boops our TV screen & wags his tail ( it's really cute ). In honor of your 1 year anniversary coming up we have watched & enjoyed every episode again, you should be very proud of yourself James your cabin is Awesome. Much Strength & Honor to you as well! Oooga Booga 😂

[@msfeistybabe]

I also went back recently & re-started from Ep.1 to capture the rawness of Day 1 :) Almost as good the second time around, especially while waiting a week or more for new episodes!

[@bobbyfisher9754]

Can‘t wait for James to swim down the icy river in december and sing „I‘m dreaming of a wild christmas“ The gods are gonna be entertained for sure!

[@daviddarlingauthor]

Clovis, the pup, so bold and stout, A Swiss Mountain Dog with a mighty shout. Beside James Alofs, through forest and stream, Living the wild, fulfilling the dream. From stacking logs to forging trails, Through autumn’s gold and winter gales, With strength and honor, they’ll make their way, Clovis and James, come what may. (I tried to use Ooga Booga, but it’s hard to sneak in a nineteen-symbol word!)

[@andreamanocchi4066]

Good morning team Wild Homestead!

[@daviddarlingauthor]

DeWalt has a green laser level at Home Depot for $199. It's a lot easier to see outside, than the red. Sauna: Option B for sure! Just get a helicopter to drop one down. ;)

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

Good morning James. Those flies, we used to call them cluster flies. They were always a big problem in the old farm houses. They came in the building in late fall and came out again in the spring and there would be hundreds of them in the windows.

[@petereriksson1390]

It's make me so happy to see You & Your dog together, you srtedknow each other now, thats a realy happy feeling in both your minds! Enjoy life Sir, you deserve that Sir. Thanks from Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe, now in snow and minus 6 celcius! 😊😅😊

[@kreiszdaniel590]

Thank you for spreading Hungarian history. Best wishes from Hungary.

[@Heath_Fisher]

Anyone else lol when he does the dumb and dumber laxative laugh or is it just me?

[@KittyNolan-m4n]

Never build too close to water. Remember, rivers change course over time and they also swell when snow melts. Don't get washed out.

[@Nadia-co1gk]

Option B is a perfect spot for your sauna, what a gorgeous view.

[@JulieWatkin-c3c]

Another great video I love my Saturday mornings with a coffee watching your channel have a good week

[@matthewproudfoot9127]

My Grandfather came from Scotland to South Africa and his name was also Robert (Bob) Proudfoot. He was from Kilmarnock.

[@joyb0831]

Love the option B for the wild sauna!!!!! ❤

[@jerrywilliams3544]

There’s glasses to help see the laser in sunlight. Great episode building is coming along great!

[@haydthenation]

you should get the mesh screen for the front door it. it hangs like a curtain and has magnets that fasten it in the center. that will definitely reduce the flies in the cabin as you leave the door open for fresh air

[@RichardIrvine-m8j]

Refresh, refresh, refresh.......GO!!! Strength and honour! All the best from the UK.

[@WildWilton]

James, a magnet screen door might be ideal for the front of the fortress. OOGA BOOGA

[@TheShoelaceExpress]

Run the reciprocating saw without a blade in it on the concrete forms will help the concrete settle and let air out so you don’t get voids.

[@elizabethmckenzie6977]

Yes option B for your sauna.

[@renateschreiber4416]

❤😊stay save have fun with Clovis.Good job done😊🎉.

[@jeffreycoon9634]

Wow!!! Your channel has grown so much! I found it on episode #3 I don’t remember how many subs you had but I believe it was less than five thousand. Congratulations!! You deserve it!

[@Gratandinorr]

Y A simply the best out there! From N Sweden

[@toddsweeney2871]

You're puppy is adorable! WD40 is mostly just fish oil and propellent.

[@margaretgood580]

Good morning James and baby Clovis 🐕 have a wonderful weekend ❤

[@hustleblueprint]

option B for sauna is much better 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Sandramce60]

I had the same problem with my new build. I used mill lumber, last year which was not fully dried, and it attracted flies like crazy but this year, before I sold it, the flies calmed down the wood, which must of been better this year

[@jessecampbell-johnston801]

I was waiting for the redo of the intro. Rip Irish wolf hound. Long Live Clovis 3:57

[@NordAdventures]

It has been amazing to follow your journey.. Also, congrats on your dog ! Much love from Norway !

[@annalievanrensburg8875]

The third time I peeked my favorite show was online!

[@robhicks81]

Option B for sure!

[@admiralchaplain]

OOGA BOOGA! Hail Clovis, King of the Francs!

[@tylerrobar7535]

Havent made it through the ad at the start of the video and already dropped a like. Keep up the great work. I look forward to these videos every weekend.

[@craigelmo3564]

Option B. Great job

[@colinflenley1203]

Good evening from 🇦🇺

[@ViJoL04]

Dear James. When you have build the sauna remember to buy a real finnish (original sauna country and the sauna is originally finnish word) stove to your sauna. I would suggest harvia sauna stoves they are THE best. Your friend from finland country of saunas, lakes and hars winter.

[@sl3nd0m]

rip cousin lenny - gone but never forgotten x

[@admiralchaplain]

Option B for sure1

[@timkline-cw4iy]

Install a simple wood frame screen door for the fly problem, as for comment about cabin ventilation, youve plenty when we open those screened w8ndow. When ypu get that wood stove cranking youll open them! Lol

[@Terikoimoi]

2311 NZ time and I have work in the morning, but I gotta watch 😂❤ OOOOGA BOOOOOGA

[@filosworld.1705]

Clovis looks at James and thinks you get the cage dad I'll take the bed. 😂

[@Andy-i1j6t]

Yeeeeeessssss Saturday morning now complete. Keep smashing those videos and the build. Bloody great job 🎉

[@Colin32269]

Getting frosty mornings here now

[@flatfishy]

Green lasers work better in the outdoors. A laser receiver also helps for longer distances.

[@jsmith4138]

You wanna shut that laser off whenever you're not checking your line. Battery dies on those things pretty quik. Keep up the good work.

[@killkult]

you are the canadian Steve Irwin dealing with those flies man

[@VinceMorin]

Option B 😊

[@sarahkennardgehrer]

Option B ❤

[@DianaHughes-m4u]

option b yess

[@manma57]

Woo new episode

[@feessiebouwen]

You should definitely buy a laserlevel because your work is going to speed up significantly. Buy one with a green laser, you can see them during daytime

[@gokedera]

Good morning, champions, oooooga booooga ❤

[@johncorreia9041]

whisper, is one smart dog, not only didn't he not get in that cold ass water, with you crazy ass, he saw get up the latter, and didn't stick around for the fall, he lets you all the work, wile he sleep, and you feed him, smart doggie Whisper, 🐶🌭pup

[@marseo76]

Strength and honor! Ooga booga!

[@Fllufffyy]

Finally. Love your channel

[@barthettema3727]

Just love these videos.

[@anneranderson8483]

Use a narrow mesh to fill gaps, you need air flow !

[@mikeplatts2603]

" military grade babies " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@uncle_creepy2743]

i trust that is homemade mead in that coffee

[@TheDAl3l3LER]

Option B and a Clovis cam.

[@andreamanocchi4066]

Option B is my thought.

[@soldier-Dave]

I’m first Dave 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Drw1080]

Option b!

[@cherylcoetsee9348]

Put out small bowls of white vinegar in the cabin the flys drown themselves and hang a fly trap away from the cabin. Was wondering if you get ticks there?

[@PrimalThenics]

Yesss. Pumped.

[@TBlack99]

Good morning all…

[@matbobcat]

Option B

[@aprinandesferdinand979]

good night from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@JillPantlin]

Option B.

[@BackwoodsCountryBoy]

Living for these videos...its 3 am in bc

[@rubenn3123]

3 Am butttttt…wild homestead came out!!!!

[@danmorris7233]

I had quite a fly problem in my little cabin. I planted lavender, lemon grass, rosemary down one side. Seems to have made a big difference. Burning the odd candle or two in there may help too.

[@MGE9436]

No candles for James. He's prone to fires 😮

[@mitchellsavage6933]

its got to be option b for the sauna its a better view and you are a bit further away from the bevers so you both dont disturb each other keep up the great work

[@arbdapeish]

Black fly invasion is un preventable. I suggest getting fly traps and fly tapes. The hanging fly tape work well when mounted near a ceiling light. Several diy fly traps online. Cabin Fly season last 6-8 weeks in the fall here in the U.P. Of Mi.

[@arbdapeish]

String lines are a poor man’s laser. Option b on the sauna. (sow na)

[@JonasSivesindtajet]

i have been working with those lazers for 6 years. in my experience the green once is much betther. so if you buy a lazer buy a green one. they are much easyer to see when the sun is up.

[@JonasSivesindtajet]

keep up the good work tho. from a Norwegian Viking ;)

[@Stelladoesvideos]

❤❤❤I love your content

[@johnnyseasalt5077]

Oooga booga let's goo

[@stanleylowell]

Double vapour barrier can cause mold moisture and rot here in vt we do not put plastic on ceilings just the proper vent and insulation then wood on ceilings however on walls we do put plastic up maybe it's different in cananahda

[@TheMetheman1]

On the laser level, you may find a green one easier to see, green lasers are ussually more powerful :)

[@billyb.9878]

Alright my friend. Your baffles I do believe are wrong way up. And the blocking in between your insulation will stop your air flow. The baffles should work either way but you are definitely blocking air flow w/ the 2 bys between the pieces of insulation.

[@deborahcox2951]

Good Sir Woodland: Hurry up and get Sophie Turner out there! You need someone to help you 24-7. SO much to do! Strength and Honour -- Here to watch the progress from Episode 1. OOGA BOOGA!

[@artemis3707]

I wouldnt suggest such a high roof angle on the sauna since all the löyöy (water vapor that comes of the kiuas) goes up so youll not feel it as good. Also it will take longer to heat becouse theres more volume in tje sauna

[@kingsmegger4089]

Laser enhancement glasses - see the laser beam even better Thanks to the glasses (the color corresponding to the green or red laser beam), you will see the lines generated by the devices better. Remember that laser enhancement glasses do not protect your eyesight, or at least not in the way you may think about them

[@OOMerci]

B for sure......

[@geirstorli]

Wood needs airflow to prevent mold. Humans need airflow to breathe. The woodstove needs airflow to burn. You are spending so much time sealing stuff, it migth be time to think about installing ventilation vents.

[@danyGamerCZ]

Would opening windows be enough?

[@bostonarchie3194]

​@@danyGamerCZ no

[@Aggrav8e]

I was happy to see him install the roof baffles. The roof needs to breath or he’ll have some serious moisture issues

[@oomwat6101]

If you salt your meat a few hours before cooking, it will be more tender and juicy ;)

[@julianheatley2096]

OOGA BOOGA SIR

[@dmitrybondarchuk5916]

Jim, will there be solar panels on the roof to power the off-grid guest cabin?

[@Mickelson1337]

Ooga Booga!

[@craigsmith3741]

I would blame the fall on lead.....

[@JacquelineRingel]

You need a small boat James

[@kevinyoung4093]

Hey, next time you do concrete pls don't stick the rebar in the dirt it can get moist / wet, then it will rust and expand not good for the concrete . Then take a hammer and tap the form so air bubbles Can get out of the concrete. That's how we do it in Germany

[@MaximilianOstermeier]

😍😍

[@scenery2024]

Ohh so you also love salt from Switzerland?

[@Attreiu]

Get some camera trap and spread it out on your property. See who's visiting you at night. You might see the wolf pack. 😊

[@MGE9436]

Yes, wolves are sneaky and can be very quiet. They could be scouting the place at night to see who the hell this new dog is.

[@stanleylowell]

Why didn't you use proper vent on the ceiling???? It is dirt dirt cheap and you know 100% there is a gap for air to flow...... maybe on the big home lol love your content love clovis keep up the dream man

[@stevendemolder6653]

woehoew

[@samuelr.8620]

First

[@gregmason2208]

Have you worked out why the flies are gathering in bunches in your roof. Seems a bit strange.
