  • Some wolf activity at the beginning of the week. It's a dark few days with a lot of snow. I'm making progress with the floor tiling and go pick up the Mitsubishi which has a tow bar installed.

    I have a cabin on the western edge of Yellowstone National Park. Like Martijn, we are awoken many nights to the sound of wolves in our “backyard”. Like him, we often grab a flashlight and rush outside to see if we can catch a glimpse. It’s not the wisest thing to do. I’m sure interrupting a hunt is a bad idea. It never becomes less special though. Wolves are so essential to the ecosystem that our area has seen a tremendous improvement to wildlife management, plant life, and water system ecology. They are essential. Enjoy your neighbors, Martijn!

    There is a book that was written by Hermann Phleps entitled The Craft of Log Building. Phleps was an architect, historian, and a pen and ink artist of incredible skill. The book was originally published in Germany in 1944. You can get an English translation published by Lee Valley Tools, Ottawa. It is a compilation of all the log building and rough timber framing techniques from the Alps to the Arctic Circle and from the British Isles to Central Europe. It is an incredible resource and may be something for you to refer to as you build. The text is very good and the drawings will be something that you will really appreciate.

    The wolves certainly provided a memorable intro! Thank you for including that, as it was fascinating to hear their sounds. We don't have wolves where I live, but we do have coyotes. Their night-gathering sounds are similar, but more high-pitched. They will start out slow, and as more voices join in, they will eventually yip themselves into a crescendo, and then go totally silent. It's always impressive...

    Martijn, a huge tip is to seal the stone prior to grouting. After you’ve laid it but before grouting. Makes it SO much easier to grout. Wipes right off the stone rather than having to scrub it off so tediously. Also, a “matte” finish sealer will keep the natural look, just enhanced a bit. Looks great by the way! 👍

    • @alipaulstagram
      @alipaulstagram หลายเดือนก่อน

      Also, use a much drier mix. Just wet enough it binds together when you squeeze it, but not wet and sloppy. You can then wet the whole floor once it's pressed into the gaps.

    Martijn, I hope this note finds you well. I really love the wooden back panel idea with a hunter green color accent idea. I think it will look so nice. The shelving will be a nice touch as well, given space is limited. The floor is looking so good. As the floor was nearing completion it felt as if you had found your rthymn. Everything is coming along so well in the cabin. It's beautifully done with such attention to detail. I am so happy for you.

Your stone flooring is looking really good, what a huge difference you are making to your cabin, things are really moving along now. The scenery with all that snow was truly amazing and it was very heavy, where I live in Australia I don't get snow, I'd have to drive about 4 hours to get to it in Winter so I've never seen anything quite like your Italian Alps.

Buried in rubble and renovation, with none of all your wonderful work space, but having just learned I won the Kenneth Patchen Award for the Innovative Novel for 2023 there are expected plusses in being distracted in small spaces. Have been trying to understand the platform you suggested but got lost in the digital weeds trying to download and get it up and running. Will try again. Wolves were a hoot.

    Martjin is on the right track as the mason "grout bag" method of applying to brick or stone joint grouting is far less messy and cuts down on cleaning up grout residue and keeps even open pored and heavily chemically sealed natural stone from still absorbing modern cement grouts that endless sponging and cleaning just often doesn't remove that residue "haze".😇

    I love that you live where there are wolves. I understand that you may be concerned for the chickens, but wolves are such gorgeous, wild creatures. Lucky you!

    You will have to polish the stones afterward to make the floor smooth with a special machine. In between the cracks, you can place tiny little colorful stones to connect instead of just cement and concrete sand. The end result would be like a marble floor. Our contractor built it for the main patio entrance, and it was beautiful. Off beige or darker goes well with little green stones.

    For the chickens, you might consider providing them a dust bath. It’s suggested aiming for a container with a length and width of at least 24-36 inches and a depth of 6-10 inches.
    Your chickens should be able to easily hop in and out but you don’t want all the material to fall out either.
    Made of Sand or soil, Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, and Wood Ash.
    The two most important materials above are the diatomaceous earth and wood ash.
    Both of them will kill pests that infest chickens which is the number one importance of the dust bath.
    The dirt or sand is just a filler to mix in so it’s optional. Then depending on what you have available, the wood ash or diatomaceous earth should be added in to kill pests. Just a thought. They will love it.

      There are too few hens for their socialization needs. Very important, they can get depressed. Some hay, along w/more food, it’s cold out there.
      I am Guessing some vitamin D in w/feed, it’s been a while as to solar rays. Maybe some D and more cheese/yogurt/eggs/calories for our ever more lean artist as well??
      Thank you for all!
      My first real aesthetic quibble as a renovation architect… that vertically applied “flag stone pavers” up the pony wall. Ugh. Would remove. Slabs go on the horiz planes (floors, paths, terraces, roofs), as you already know, our dear renaissance friend!

    More window for light and inspiration. I would be a grumpy chicken if there were wolves around at night. Keep them warm, Martijn. Keep yourself motivated in the winter. Thanks for keeping us motivated. Going to go work on my house now.

    Chau Martijn. Another week, another step that demonstrates how magnificent your cabin will look. The stone puzzle was amazing. The snow has returned, which makes the entire landscape more typical, which compared to the previous year has been less... less and less...😔 clearly demonstrating that the climate is different.

    I have several channels I watch on TH-cam from wood working to the aquarium and fish world. But your channel, Martijn is the very first one I watch. So peaceful and I love that you don’t feel you need to talk the whole time, but you do explain the new things you’re working on. By the way, I vote for the workshop with the stone pillars! 😁

Both look great with the buildings, especially the piller one, to me anyway. 😊 The dog was very intent on what it found to eat. And... I always enjoy the hikes and drone footage. Thank you for it all, Martijn! 🧡

    Something satisfying about expressions of civilization.
