Are your windows sills level and not pitched?

i think the very reason some or many find history and the past so appealing is that there is no deception and nothing is convenient many of us really like modern conveniences but simultaneously romanticize a simpler time where everything was accomplished through hard labor and necessity

Should have cut out tar paper 3" short of the window bottom and sides and wrapped the window bottom and sides, so any water past a window would not sit on bare wood. A free benefit to excess tar paper.

17:25 bonk the boards with your hammer after sawing them. It gets a lot of the sawdust off. I always have a blower in my tool bags but it’s because we still use airguns so I always have a hose & compressor to blast it all away.

Instead acid you need use bleach, it oxidize the zinc. I have a problem like that, but in reverse. I taned a galvanized think wich need to be clean

Such a nice place low hills, pretty trees, seems a fairytale land. Here in brazil all landscape is ugly, crooked trees, steep hills, grass is too tall. Realy jealous of that land

What was your tea recipe

Tar paper often is cut long at the openings

Vinegar will take the shine off. Vinegar and iron filings will "age" the new wood.

🎩 and boots are good for the place too

Why is the gable roofing stopped at the gable wall ?

Hi Jessie & & Robbie.🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing this video👍🏻, extiting historic view of the Railroad tunnels, from a time beyound imagination what kind of work that was at that time,The Couboy hommage around coocking the blackest strongest coffee ever on egg shells wass charming. So one learn steady of this Oldtimers,The progress on the cabin is enormouse & recreated in the way it was ment to be, Nice work with the windows & also the door with new wood on the on the inside lookig fordward to see this placed in the entrance.Little scary with the black bear but there was a distance to come away from a eventually attac.Liked the praying for the wellbeeing for the bear, Your kiddos learnig a great deal how to learn from the surrounding environment from Mom & Dad they are some Great Teatchers.Greeting to all of you,Stay healhty & safe looks tpm like the winter comes close to your part of the world too🇺🇸,Greetings. Hubertus🇳🇴🇳🇱🙏🏻👍🏻🍀☮🇺🇸

I'd like to get in contact with you if possible over a sponsorship, if you like coffee, please let me know an email address to give you the details, thanks. PS: Love the vids.

Would this be considered a restoration or a replica? Tough call

Didn’t the old-timers put a coin in between the foundation on one corner for good luck on the buildings?

In most places you are not allowed to build like this. You have to get a permit and only build with materials approved and sold by your industrialized masters. Your siding has no shear! You have to use our shear panels from Simp-son!! They say it is for your safety but it is to protect the usury lords.You have no freedom or choice because you are a dead vessel in THEIR cemetery and bound by laws. You were signed away as dead with your birth certificate. The world of the living dead must never own anything and always be bound to mort-gages. They keep you trapped in a mort-ified state of fear worrying about your mort-ality. Now follow the mort-icians deeper into the the crypto.

I love it all !

The quality is really good, but you can definitely tell you were scraping together anything and everything to get this video long enough. There's a ton of recapping, showing the same stuff being done multiple times throughout the video. I found myself skipping over most of it. Less recapping, because if we're watching we've likely seen the videos before and don't want to watch yet another History or Discovery channel reality show that recaps literally for half of the episode. Show some more farming stuff if you need more filler. That's what's taking up the time, then that's probably more interesting than force feeding us stuff we've already seen. (I'm a farmer, so I'd find it interesting haha.) Also, that quick scouting of the abandoned homestead for the table a while ago was a nice addition.

Love watching y'all work together to make this happen.

I'm shocked at the number of subs...really thought they would be way more...like 100 times as many. Edited very nicely. Also I'm shocked at the discipline of the children. My two kids are well behaved but they would show out for the camera and end up trying to be the first to help, get hurt or in trouble. Impressed with the way the youngest one knew to stand on the felt then roll it out for the next cut. Then it looked like he ran over to help on the other side the house. Awesome content, awesome people and awesome kids. Y'all did great.

That could of be a great ice house. To storage ice 🧊 blocks through out the year for a ice 🧊 box in the 1870s. 😮 that looks so neat.

The egg shells were to make the coffee grounds sink. At least that they did at the ranch. Rose hips were picked and seeded to make jelly. Don't have my great grandmothers recipe. She also canned gooseberries. Horse hair was also used for filling in cracks.

10:01 You can see through the wall

In carpentry we call putting a new board along a compromised rafter " Sistering" it. Carpentry dates back to at least Roman times.

Nver seen bean done that way

Love watching the progress really enjoy your narration skills keep up the good work

Thank you my friends

Young lady, you swing that hammer like a man, not a sissy! That is something I always said to my gf. No tap, tap, tapping, like the Raven in an Edgar Allen Poe Poem. She never forgets now. She thinks of the poem every time she picks up a hammer! Another fine and informative video. Comments are interesting as well. Kudos viewers.

OK...OK...I was enjoying this video, all the history and the building, the narration and the beautiful views. And then the bear, and your daughter wanting to pray for him, and it instantly became the Best Video of 2024. AND THEN, "Is this scary or fun?" Adorable.

My house has shiplap inside and out on 2 by 4s on 24” centers. Only wish they had run them at 45 deg angles because the house moves in a blow. You could also use boat nails, special cut so they are slightly wider in the center so the wood swells back and holds tighter, heavily galvanized and probably cheaper.

Put the siding up vertically, put a 3" wide batten over the joints. Horizontally installed it will leak forever. Blocking the walls is a lot of work, but provides shear strength.

A leaf blower would clear the sawdust off those roof boards. BTW I lived in Culberson, MT about 1962 and I remember it as being the furthest north that a river steamboat could come, I was so lucky that they celebrated their Diamond Jubilee while I lived there, they had a sawmill and a threshing machine set up in a lot across from where I lived and that year I rode on both a steam tractor and in the rumble seat of a Model A.

Just found your channel. I'm in Columbia Falls. Loved the video. All you mentioned at the end would be amazing. Love the lifestyle you choose to live in one the most beautiful places on earth. Plus it's awesome the touch of history. I dig it. Can't wait to watch more.

Where did you guys buy your windows from!

The last time I worked on a Montana farm I was 16 yrs old. That was 64 years ago. They did it differently back then. I miss the beauty of the Gallatin Valley in the summertime. As to what I would enjoy in a video, just about anything you folks do would be of interest. The farm I worked on was a dairy farm. The crops they raised were to feed the cows. Grains and alfalfa hay mostly. My main function was to place the bales and build the stack. I also got to drive the old Oliver 70's to mow and rake the alfalfa. Just about all the equipment the boss had was bought used. Repair and maintenance was a continuous job. That was the best job I ever had!

Cedar would look amazing

my fav bit, from a GA born and raised? watching yall try to hammer those old square cut nails, lol. love it. i've had old memories of bldg like that, with my farm folks, from the 60's. they just were farmers who had to build stuff. i had a dad who actually worked in construction, so when we did help the kin, things went alot faster, but so what. what u r doing is awesome. i didn't realize the roofing felt/tar paper was around that long ago. i know we used it a lot. ps: since its a fun project and maybe someone is curious - to me its just like most farm chores. u gotta go all in. as in hit that sucker with purpose to get it stuck. as in stuck hard enough that the 2nd swing either makes it sunk 1/2 way, or sends it to orbit. so yeah, u gotta believe in yourself. swing like you mean it- on the very 1st lick. get it stuck in hard enough to then send a homer on the 2nd strike. the 3rd strike is just showing off. LOL

nice

sheet them walls with plywood. much more sheer strength than individual boards. hip style roof sturdier than a gable. there's my 2 cents, but I gotta admire all the clean work. foundation is most admirable

If you use muratic acid, start 10 to 1. Ten parts water, one part acid. Really bad fumes, i.e., no munchkins nearby. If 10-1 doesnt work lower h 2 o by one part until desired effect.

I think that double bitted axe was the prize, personally.

Lived in wolf creek loved it winters are long though

I❤ what your doing I hope too see more of your work 😅 kw wva.

Hey there, Great video. New subscriber, just found your channel and I am watching your Hard work series, really enjoying them. What size saw is in this video. Thanks for sharing

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but houses and cabin did get “sealed”, just not using silicone. Chinking for log cabins and gaps in houses were often filled with oakum. It wasn’t just used for ships and just about any tarred fiber was used

I maybe would have used 3 screws vs 2 screws, much stronger.

I’m so glad to see what y’all are doing! In the future, I think we’d like you to share whatever is on your heart to share. America needs to know where we came from! Thank you

❤ greetings from Australia ❤

Now I like you to cook a pot of ox 🐂 tail stew and bake 2 loafs of homemade bread 🍞 in the ove6. We had a neighbor who was the only stove she would use. My cousin bought the house and sold the stove 15 years ago. Our family was upset 😡.
