The cabin already looks cozy, can't wait until the inside is fully finished. Emily your going on strong with this project, enjoy it and cherish every moment of it. you have a good supporter, your dad. He must be very happy with you. Keep up the good work.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I love it when a family works together. You picked a great helper but I'm glad he didn't try to drag a tree in on his back and make a wall out of it. The cabin is looking great.
Ok, I forgive your Dad for no videos in the last week! You go Emily, its the first step up on the property ladder, and you are blessed to have awesome parents to guide your every step of the way. It's the way to go girl. All the very best UK.
My daughter watched me rebuild my home in Long Island and a 54' Jag roadster, during the 70"s and 80's. She picked up skills by watching and helping me along the way. Now she does her own repairs and small building projects. It's great to see how independent they've become. So I'm sort of reliving those years with you and your daughter. Thanks much for the memories. 🐺
Cali seems at home here at your cabin too. Good to see that good pup. And your dad too. I really like your cabin. It's going to be such a nice place when you get done.
I watch your fathers channels and I think it is simply great you are following in your fathers footsteps in becoming self reliant as that is the way the world is going now and it is important people learn these skills now, well done Emily will continue to watch your progress
It’s always beautiful to see a father spend time with her daughter!! In Spanish we say: de tal palo, tal astilla… Most be something like, the branch it’s always like the tree.
You are blessed to have a Dad willing and able to teach you these things. And kudos to you to accept what he has to teach you about life, problem solving and creating beautiful spaces.
Thanks Shawn for putting this link on your channel. Emily is blessed to have you as her father. Emily I am so looking forward to following you and you have impressed me with the abilities you have already mastered at such a young age. Giving us a glimpse into your life outside of the cabin has been a plus. Your editing skills have also improved since the first video you released. Your are a role model for all in your generation.
That dinner looks delish. You go, skilled craftsperson, Emily! My husband taught me to use various tools, starting in my late 20's, during our own earliest home builds/repairs. Soon after, I discovered that my fave woodshop hobbies are constructing children's furniture and dollhouse miniatures. Right after completing her 2 college degrees at 22yo, our daughter learned power tool skills to do major renovations with her new husband in their first home. I'm happy for you, and hope you enjoy all those comforts and the equity-building benefits provided by your handiworks.👩🔧🎓🏆
Sometimes "assemble yourself" furniture like your island can get rickety over time. A way to strengthen it is to use an adhesive caulk in a caulking gun to bond the joinery together without need to reassemble it. I highly recommend DAP Kwik Seal Tub and Tile (clear). It's a water based adhesive caulk so water cleanup is easy. Cut the tip of the caulking tube so the hole is about 1/8", no bigger. Then run a bead where all the pieces join together at 90 degrees on the inside, one at a time. Wet your finger tip and run it along the bead to smooth it. The trick is to run the bead about 1/8" to 3/16" (narrower than a bead of toothpaste) so as not to apply too much which is wasteful and messy. Keep a rag or sponge and bucket of water handy to wipe any excess. It will dry clear in 24 hours at room temp and your furniture will last much longer and be much sturdier. To close and seal the caulking tube, wrap the tip with a scrap of plastic wrap to keep it airtight and secure with a medium to large wire nut which I'm sure you Dad would have.
Emily, I found your link on your Dad's TH-cam Channel, My Self Reliance. You couldn't ask for better parents, they have taught you well. God Bless You.
You and your family inspire me sooooo much. I have been watching your Dad for years and am enjoying seeing your content too. Your cabin is becoming so cozy! I moved to rural Maine in order to live a more self reliant lifestyle too and I draw so much from your energy and determination. Keep up the great work and thank you for the enjoyable content.
Hi Emely, i am Jane 73 from Holland. Live in my gipsy wagon tiny house. I have heaps respect fit your father and in love with the woof. What a gift to work with your dad and learn so m uhch of his skills. Love your cabin....will follow.. Stay safe and strong Love jane
Love watching your dad and how much you respect him for his knowledge and working with him must be such a joy a great way to create memories that will stay with you forever. 🌻💕
It was so nice to see you and your dad working together to put the walls up for the bathroom and I really like the pocket door (that is what I need for my powder room downstairs. Can't wait to see the next project you are going to be doing. Keep up the great job you are doing on your cabin. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Great content Emily! That we Cabin is really taking shape and developing into a great we nest! Good luck with the rest of your bathroom install and it was nice to see Cali put in an appearance too! ✌
You really are your father's daughter!! So good to see you working together, but even better is watching you tackle tasks that would scare most young girls. I have no doubt you could survive anything your Dad could. Your parents must be extremely proud of you!!
Place is really starting to take shape and it's looking great. The tranquil solitude is very calming for ones soul. Thanks for bringing us along Emily. Can't wait to see the continued progress.
I followed up your Dad's advice to watch your channel and I don't regret it as you are really good 😊 I just watched all your videos to make sure I'd enjoy and I'm happy. Sending you lots of love ❤ and wishing you a great future with this chosen life of yours, from South of Spain 🇪🇸
This is going to be a great channel to watch. Great info for someone starting in off grid living. Great design and sense of style. Great to see a woman’s perspective! She put a wall together, installed a pocket door ( which I can’t do!) and made a delicious dinner. Great place for her to get away to study too! Keep up the good work Lady! Can’t wait too see what’s next!
That was a good idea putting a pocket door on your bathroom. Well done. What a lovely place to be able to go to and study in peace and quiet. Have a lovely day.
Building, cooking, living off grid…. You are definitely your father’s daughter! It’s a wonderfully cozy cabin, may it bring you many years of comfort and joy.
The outside color of your cabin is stunning! That black is a brilliant choice! I bet you just started a trend! Also it's great to see your dad. Neat that you have a built in expert cabin builder handy! 😊
Really appreciate seeing a generational approach to self sufficiency. We are just beginning our journey, but plan a similar approach to include any of our adult children who are interested.
Hi! Just found your channel or maybe your channel found me. I’ve been enjoying your dad’s Self Reliance videos for many years now. How wonderful to have your dad help with your own home.
Been following your dad for quite sometime Glad to see you are following your dad's footsteps. The cabin looks cozy and warm I'm sure once completed it will be Gorgeous. God bless be safe stay warm and healthy. Jim
Emily, you are without doubt a positive role model for young people and your own person. The greatest compliment that I know to give you is that you are your father’s daughter! Well done. From Santa Chuck
I thought your dinner looked fantastic and I'm all about one pan meals. Glad you are cooking at the cabin. You have a quite, peaceful place to study. Wishing you lots of success in everything you do. That sky was beautiful and I'm glad you took some time to enjoy it and share it with us.
After watching your father these past few years and admiring his knowledge and expertise, it's obvious you couldn't have a better mentor to help you on your journey of self reliance. Good luck and best wishes. Tell your dad I say great job raising you and hello from me.
Emily, I've been following your dad's channels since the beginning and he is an inspiration and hero of mine. To see you now doing your own thing is wonderful! As the father of two young girls myself, I can tell you he must be incredibly proud of you! I watch your videos with my own daughters. I look forward to watching your channel grow and we wish you all the best!
Looks so great Emily👍 that sunrise was definitely worth stopping for. I love to soak in those moments whenever possible. Helps me stay grounded, focused and realize what's important to me. Moments and memories are all little pieces of our story. I appreciate you sharing yours with us and I can definitely see how proud of you your parents are. It's awesome that your able to share these times with them. Stay warm and stay safe my friend. 🙂
great to see the progress Emily, to see your dad helping shows how much he believes in you. Keep up the awesome fitting out fitting out of YOUR cabin. Proud of you Emily, keep up the great progress.
Your cabin is turning out to be a cabin with a wonderful warm and cozy ambience, It's going to be a wonderful place to go to empty the mind and meditate about faith, important plans and decisions, and of course relax, and eat good food.
Great job once again! Your video editing skills are spot on. Shawn James, glad your spending time with your daughter helping and teaching. Always great to see Cali, and tell your mother she raised a talented young lady. Keep up the great work.
New sub who's been a subscriber of your dad's before M.S.R. reached 1000 followers. Married 30 years with two daughters of My own ... I know your dad is so proud of you. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful, been following your Dad awhile, so good to see ppl like you in our next generation, gives an old man like me hope for our tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
Just keeps looking more comfortable with each addition you add to your cabin. Looks like a very quiet and peaceful place to study. Take care and wish you all the best with your studies.
Emily, don't knock yourself. The food looks great, good job on the cabin. We really enjoy your work ethic, your Mom and Dad must be very proud of you. My Mom, and I enjoy your Dad and your videos. If everyone was like your family this world would be a better place. Thank you for sharing with us, I wish I could give Cali a hug.
@@emilyaisling I vote for the color/colour of your door like your Yeti mug. Red is over done, a light blue would really pop. Hilarious the post below is your Dad saying he is proud of you. I can't wait until you both have your cabins done.
Coming along very nicely! It's great seeing father/daughter projects. My two girls and I have so much fun working together, best bonding time a guy can have!
Your cabin looks awesome. I love how bright it is in there with the white walls. I decided after watching all your videos my summer kitchen we are building this year is going all white. Even though we are on grid our power goes off all the time and as you know winters in Canada can be long and dark. Love what you are doing at the cabin. Cheers
I made the mistake of painting my room too dark before. The white really makes it brighter and lifts your mood - especially in the long, dark winters. Thank you for the support. I hope your kitchen turns out well!
Your cabin is coming along and will bring you lots of joy. So glad you're getting help from your famous Dad. We all love Shawn and his family. Can't wait to view more of the cabin's progress and what you'll be doing outside as well.
A job well done, a lot achieved. You are a lucky girl to have really supportive parents. Great teachers too. I love how well it’s coming together for you.
I'm really enjoying spending this time together and I'm very proud of you!
Was so nice to see you two working together.
I’m really enjoying her channel. So glad I found it through your channel. She is so fun to watch
Father of the century...
Great work and really nice to see how well you guys work together. 👍
I thought the reason we haven't been seeing Shawn as much was because he was in the trucker convoy!!
You could not possibly be learning these skills from a better teacher! It's great to see the progress! You have the best family in the world.
The cabin already looks cozy, can't wait until the inside is fully finished. Emily your going on strong with this project, enjoy it and cherish every moment of it. you have a good supporter, your dad. He must be very happy with you. Keep up the good work.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I love it when a family works together. You picked a great helper but I'm glad he didn't try to drag a tree in on his back and make a wall out of it. The cabin is looking great.
Thank goodness for mums and dads 👍🏴
Ok, I forgive your Dad for no videos in the last week! You go Emily, its the first step up on the property ladder, and you are blessed to have awesome parents to guide your every step of the way. It's the way to go girl. All the very best UK.
Your doing a great job. Your Dad must be very proud of you. Good to see him too.
I have been following your father since the beginning. Congratulations on what looks like a generational new start for you.

Best resourceful dad ever.

Like Father, Like Daughter, Shawn drops everything lending Emily a helping hand. That my friends are what love is all about.
Thanks Shawn for putting this link on your channel. Emily is blessed to have you as her father.

Family that builds together/
Grows together!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job! Self Reliance!👍🏻
That dinner looks delish. You go, skilled craftsperson, Emily! My husband taught me to use various tools, starting in my late 20's, during our own earliest home builds/repairs. Soon after, I discovered that my fave woodshop hobbies are constructing children's furniture and dollhouse miniatures. Right after completing her 2 college degrees at 22yo, our daughter learned power tool skills to do major renovations with her new husband in their first home. I'm happy for you, and hope you enjoy all those comforts and the equity-building benefits provided by your handiworks.👩🔧🎓🏆

Building more than an off-grid cabin, priceless memories that will be yours forever. Great job.👍👍👍
The cabin exterior is incredible. Excellent eye!

Good job! This brings back memories of working with my dad who was a plumber. I am nearly 60 now and still use and appreciate the skills he taught me.
Good Job girl. You are a great role model. Remember, it's winter, spend it outdoors.
Place is really starting to take shape and it's looking great. The tranquil solitude is very calming for ones soul. Thanks for bringing us along Emily. Can't wait to see the continued progress.

Hi there 👍 your dad talked about your channel, so here i am, first view at your cabin. Nice tiny house, stay safe and warm 👍
My son is almost finished with his accounting degree. He just made a fire in the pit, thanks to your dad getting him outdoors. Great job.
