Winter is Coming! Get that Roof on Son! / Ep57 / Outsider Log Cabin

[@JDLarge]

As I’m taking a big sip of coffee readying myself for the wisest of wise, some tutelage of the ages to inspire me to start my day, seeing a beautiful eagle then a handsome buck and you say you’re looking for a boulder! Coffee everywhere and talk about inspiration. That got me fired right up lol. Best thing I’ve heard in a while my friend, thank you for the huge chuckle, I needed that! 🤪

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Ha ha thank you my friend. Great comment. What can I say... Sometimes it's good to wax eloquent, while other times... you just need a boulder.

[@BrianBriCurInTheOC]

The Outsider LoL 😝 😆 😂 What camera do you use for your opening and closing sequences of your videos... those images inspire me!!!

[@bunit3691]

What do ya think joe? you got a sasquatch on your property dropping those trees?

[@JDLarge]

Having a Sasquatch on site WOULD speed things up a bit, especially with the roof work😉 No rigging needed...

[@jenford7078]

I always think about the treasure you are creating for your future descendants not only with the cabin and other builds but with these videos documenting the kind of men both you and your father are. It's just invaluable.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

My thoughts exactly Jen. :) We consider ourselves quite blessed to be living in a time where we can use KZbin as a platform to: document, preserve, and pass along this knowledge to future generations.

[@neilschipper3741]

Your endeavors have created yet another great video, thanks. Your sit-down commentaries are always so insightful. As for your labors you've got that mastered also. Astonishing how you can pick up and master a large log as you do by yourself. Your endeavors will have that cabin ready for the snow. You will receive as much satisfaction as the first night that you spent in the cabin. Thanks for taking the time out to share your labors and knowledge.

[@jjo5375]

Doing things properly, spending time on foundations and materials does take time, thought, execution safely, all of which will produce an enduring structure. Can't rush excellence! This is fascinating; thanks for taking the time to arrange camera angles, not to mention all the editing involved for us! : )

Well said! Thank you my friend.

Thanks Jonathan! We are feeling a little behind, with all the curve-balls life has thrown us this year, but we don't give up easy. It'll certainly be a weight off my shoulders once we get the roof covered. Thanks for checking in!

You should leave the logs to the length you but them up there as. The large over hang is classic for log cabin.

Was very busy but then got notification, the world has to be put on hold 😂 my coffee and my iPad watching your upload...nothing better. Thanks and respect from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

ha ha Glad to hear that watching my channel is a top priority in your household. ...as long as it doesn't get you in trouble with the rest of the family. lol

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

The Outsider hi, no it’s ok iv just recently split up after 18 years with my partner, she did the unthinkable 🥺 but I’m getting over it, in my own place and my kids come everyday and stop too, but when I’m alone it gets a bit to quiet and I don’t watch TV only KZbin and videos just like yours, great channel you have and family, take care and be safe till next time my friend.

[@joanneforrest1830]

🌿🌲🍁This gives me a sense of satisfaction. It’s like being transported back to a child, building camps and making my own little “hangout” in the woods. I can’t wait to see the finished cabin. Beautiful setting, scenery, wildlife and home.

[@briangrigutsbmgoutdoors7866]

It’s truly amazing how nature has scattered those boulder around your land as if they were merely feathers in the wind. Such a beautiful area!!!! Best of luck. Stay safe.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

It's quite an amazing thought, isn't it? All the best my friend.

[@harolddomangue9206]

just a thought it might benefit you to dig a trench to empty the roads of water then in the summer add dirt or gravel to fill in the ditches to keep water from eroding the path or roads

[@senioroutsider2975]

Hi Harold good comment, We have had a lot of rain over several weeks, and all the low spots are full. I do dig trenches were the terrain can allow it to drain away . other spots just don;t lend themselves to it. And yes dirt and gravel (my choice is gravel) would help but that would present logistical and financial considerations not easily overcome. For now as long as the tractor will go through, the priority is getting the cabin dried in! THKS again for the comment.Cheers

[@handiman5]

What else can I say? You just make darn good videos!!! I'm lovin' them!

You are right about the the leaves on the ground being beautiful. And that gorgeous black loam owes a debt of gratitude to the leaves for its rich nutritious makeup. A lot of engineering goes into that cabin. The labor is only a part of it.

Beautiful shot of that Eagle. I have two huge crows that visit me every morning when i take my granddaughter to the bus stop. We always take them a bit of left overs for their breakfast. We have named them Clyde and Junella. We have had them here for several years and they never fail to visit us. I'm sure that the treats have nothing to do with it. lol. Y'all better hurry if you are gonna beat the snows, It's that time of year ya know. lol. We also have another bird that i think is an Egret that lands in our creek from time to time. we have seen him several times this year. We have tried to get a picture but i never seem to have a camera when he comes around.

[@daleatkinson3453]

Love Watching you videos, and the progress on the cabin. Living in corn country, Ohio I would love to have a get away cabin like that in the middle of the woods. I like to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and feel more at home in nature. Right now I am just a woodworker that enjoys perfecting my hobby, I call it my saw dust therapy. I will take what I can get at the moment. Someday, I will have the cabin I want. Keep up the good work, stay warm and enjoy!

[@pierrearthur5428]

Aargh ! We have to be patient again.... Thanks for yet another fascinating episode. Learned again new things.... We cross our fingers the weather gives you another window of opportunity to work on the roof before winter gets everything under its grip.

[@wibiles3756]

I am very sorry about your Mom. It seems as if your family must be believers in Heaven. That sure helped me when I lost my son in 2016 and my wife in late 2017. Keep up your faith. I am very much interested in the log cabin roofing project and the finishing it out for a weatherproof abode. I had a Ferguson tractor as a child to help my dad with our farm work and planting and harvesting. It was before Massey bought out Ferguson. I think my Dad's was a '51 model and the one he got me at about 7 years old, when I could reach the pedals from the seat was a '50 model he found second hand. The horsepower on my dad's was 45 HP. It was an amazingly useful tool. Once you learn what the hydraulics and wheel ballasting could do, it could do amazing things. My dad was a journyman carpenter and a farmer before that, and after he left his dad's farm. he was into farming our 6th generation farm of an uncle on his mothers side of our family. I became his full time helper as soon as I could get on the tractor safely. After my schooling, I went into the Navy and became a SeaBee. After my completion of service, I became an open pit miner, spending much time on all kinds of equipment. I certainly am interested in how you do the log cabin roof.

[@koontzman123]

Fantastic angles and editing as usual.

[@TheShowgunofHarlem]

As always, awesome vid. As I'm watching this, I got thinking about the small cabin I plan on putting up. The foundation has me scared as I can't dig for proper footings. My idea of putting the cabin down on large concrete blocks sitting above the surface had some people scared as it's not to "code". The frost may heave the block and twist the building. Then I watch your videos and plenty of others that have their buildings on similar footings. Makes me feel better about my decision.

[@CFC007]

Hey man you can’t leave us hanging like that ...... I really love the cabin ❤️👍

[@Dinky-ob5yy]

My honey and I so love your videos. I am constantly checking to see if a new video is up.

Those first's are really tough. Still praying for you young man and I admire you so much. Such a leader and good role model for so many young people. Keep on keeping on! Can't wait for you to have the roof on and a hot fire in the stove.

Always amazed that it is colder and there is more snow here in SW Wisconsin than where you are! We already have 6" on the ground which definitely slowed my project down! It will be 7 degrees Fahrenheit overnight tomorrow I believe. A pretty harsh November for sure. I had to rush with the roof as well, it's pretty scary having a project with an open top as winter approaches!

[@stokeburner6730]

For awhile I was picking up boulders and bringing them home to try and sell. My wife put a sign on a tree near them that said: ROCK FOR SALE.

Hey bud if you dont have the time to get the roof up you could just put some tarps up to help keep the snow out this winter. Once winter subsides you could return to putting the roof on. Just a thought that would help😁. Thanks for the video and all the knowledge.
