It's almost time to begin the interior construction! In preparation for this next phase of the cabin build, I begin work on the main flooring. I used a router to shiplap pine boards to make the floorboards, and I inlayed the screwheads with pennies! I also reflect a little bit, on the incredible time I've spent with my father on this build.

While the physical presence of Sr. Outsider may be missing, those of us who’ve been here for the journey can see him everywhere. While we miss him, we also know that he lives on. With love and much respect from South Carolina. God bless the Outsider family. 💗
Beautifully said.
Agreed well said 👍
Amen 🙏🏼
So true, bless the cabin!
That is so well put! Amen to that! 🙏🏻
My wife wouldn’t watch TH-cam for a full minute. This morning I tried to explain to her who you are. The significance of your accomplishments. The talent, perseverance, foresight, and love you and your family have put into your cabin build. The challenges you have overcome. And the amazing love and respect you have shown to viewers, the nature that surrounds you, and to your family. Your strong faith shines throughout all of your videos. Your a testimony to me and to the thousands of viewers around the world. Thank you Outsider for blessing me.
WELL SAID.
AMEN
Same here. I have about 10 favorite channels I watch regularly, wife only has 3 she watches with me enthusiastically: "The Outsider" "Walnuts and wineberries", and "Steve Summers".
AMEN BROTHER !!!
I agree a 1000% with you Sir he's surely everything you've said.
The only disappointing thing about these videos is that they end so soon! I truly look forward to them every time. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
Agreed
Agree
ditto 🌲🌳🏕
Now go back when the videos are done and watch them back to back ,,,,you always seem to miss the little things that happened ,,,😁
@@denniscampbell8240 Good idea!
Still brought a tear to my eye, thinking of your dad.... Cabin is a beautiful piece of art work. A true treasure for life.... Love, Blessings & Peace
Did something happen to his dad??
@@cleroyster2610 he died several weeks ago
@@Sergiocl78 so sorry for his loss...
@@cleroyster2610 he died about 3 months ago
Put a dime some where in the floor in memory of your Dad. Finding dimes, or seeing the number 10, is said to be a message to “pay attention,” and “trust your instincts and intuition.” Sometimes the coin is from a year that was important in some way in your relationship with someone who has passed, and it may be a sign that your loved one isn't as distant as you thought.
Used pennies. Same difference.
This!
@@GaryKampel Pennies are for luck. It represents new beginnings, the start of a new chapter and a fresh start. It all depends on what you believe, of course. So, the next time you see a penny in the course of your next stroll, be sure to pick it up. It may or may not bring you luck but, hopefully, it will bring a smile to your face.
I was gonna say the same thing. Dimes under the floorboards.
Thats a sign from Jesus....finding dimes...Jesus wants you to talk to him ...
I see those leaves chaging colour. Can't believe that another summer is coming to a close. But so pleased to see so much progress on the cabin since this time last year!
Repent to Jesus Christ “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.””
Joshua 1:9 NIV
I lost my mother and father and I can only admire your strength my friend. They say that a boy becomes a man when he loses his father but you became a man before that. I pray for you, your wife, your daughter, your grandfather and all the beautiful Outsider fans! Peace be with you. 🙏🙏🙏
The pennies are a fantastic idea. Your child will sit looking at them, probably the adult children too!
I know to chop down trees isn't a great idea, but the limited amount of direct sunlight will be a charging issue once you start using the electricity.
It's not just a warm loving home it's a wonderful memory/legacy of your father you have created.
Thank you April! Yes I'm sure the pennies will be fun for the kids. A game could even be made of it, where the first person to find a penny with a certain year, wins.
As for the trees, I will probably do a little more clearing in time, but I've been dragging my feet on it. 😄 Although I harvest trees (selectively) for a living, I try to leave as many alone as possible.
I agree. 🙂 The time I spent on this cabin with my dad, is what makes the cabin. All the best!
@@TheOutsiderCabin Can/could you mill lumber from any trees you take down and use it to make furniture for the house ..... especially if it is cedar, you could make some great Adirondack chairs and side tables for outside.
Have to admit man, I used to think the penny inlay was a goofy idea, but I really like it now - awesome job man!
I loved it from the start.
Same, but felt itd be nice in the loft/low traffic space. I'm concerned it won't last on the main floor, they are just glued in after all
Adds character
It’s oddly wonderful how attuned I have become to Mr. Outsider. The moment this video began I felt that sense of loss knowing that Dad isn’t here to chat, carry, cut and give advice or the satisfaction of his approval. And my sense of that is just a tiny ripple, a quiet echo of the loss his family must feel.
Also, watching the opening drone footage I immediately thought that Mr. Outsider might want to think about trimming back the branches over that solar array. No worries. He’s on it.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you my friend. 🙏 You're right, the grief and sense of loss is still deeply felt...yet with an equal sense of love and appreciation for the man who raised me.
Lots of grateful smiles and sorrowful tears were made during the filming of this episode.
Anyway, thank you for your kind comment and support. 🙂
@@TheOutsiderCabin your light shines bright!
The floor looks incredible, as does the whole cabin. So nice to have the reminders of your dad all over the cabin.
Im so glad to see you working on the cabin again. I know you and your father were so close. You miss him terribly , I'm sure. You guys were a good teem! Finishing this cabin and having a happy life in it is one of the best ways to salute him. It's good to see you back! ❤
I agree 1000percent Margaret Marks. It IS GOOD to see him back and looking so good. My father died Dec. 28, 2021 from Alzheimer's disease. He was 89. Anyway, your comment was so kind and encouraging. Thank you sooo much!!🤗😍👍
🙌💃🙌 You're back 🙌💃🙌 Your cabin is so beautiful, & your front door is incredible!! You & your daddy are 2 very talented men!! I know he's still there with you!! God bless you and your family. I'm praying 💞🙏
We are so happy to see the stage the cabin is at, at this time. We have been there during the lockdowns and even as we mourned and cried at the loss of our own family members, we also mourned the death of Senior Outsider. He helped to do the roof, the chinking and was always there, I am sure, for advice. The past two years were his goodbye to all of us and salute him and the Outsider family who have been so inspirational. May God continue to be a blessings to the family!
We are 78 and 84. We installed our system and feel so much more secure. I'm glad we got it a few years ago.
Your dad is looking down at you with a smile knowing his legacy lives on in you. Never doubt his presence for he is with you always .
It's been a year since my own father passed away. I wish we'd had a project like yours, to rewatch and revisit and remember. But he and I did make good memories over the years. And a lot of us really appreciate you having shared your memories of your father with us. Thank you. May everything you learned from him continue to make you an even better father and husband yourself, and may many of us learn to be better from his examples, too.
Build is looking so good! You’ve done an incredible job!
I love the flooring & also a good thunderstorm makes it so cozy! I hate that your Dad is gone, but you will carry him with you forever with all he gave you & has taught you! 🙏🏻
amen...
It seems so strange not seeing MR Outsider by your side after all the video I seen . Take comfort in knowing how much he love being with you on this cabin build. I lost my dad in 1997 it was a very hard thing to accept. BUT we have all the goods time we shared to look back on. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
So excited for the buildout also. God bless you brother and your family always
Thank you my friend. 🙏🙂 God bless!
That looks absolutely fantastic. Your dad would be very proud of you. All the best.
Every time u post a new video the cabins just gets more and more beautiful I'm a huge log cabin fan an of ur content stay safe
I caught the clip of the old wheel you found in your fathers older living area as an honour to him and his presence in the cabin build. Whoosh! I am actually getting choked up here typing this....such an honourable act. You are a very special son Outsider. ❤🩹🇨🇦
Good Morning Outsider! A bright light at the beginning of my day in Colorado. Glad to hear from you!
The floor looks magnificent! It does seem like that….you & Dad! I miss him. I know you do.
Your Dad left you with skills you can’t pay for buddy! Keep up the good work!
Nice move on the conduit! I wish that I could help. I say several hours!
The floors look spectacular. Your father is watching you from heaven with pride and love… Don’t ever forget that
Floor looks amazing. Such a great tribute to Sr Outsider. He will always be with you in your memories. The Lord provides.
What an admirable and beautiful accomplishment!👍
Great to see another episode. We all miss your dad but with his Spirit, you carry on. Thanks always for sharing.
HEY! Good morning! I hope that your wife is doing well, wising you all the very best. Thank you for sharing with us!
Senior Outsider is still so present in these videos. I can see his work all over the cabin, I can hear the immense amount of love and pain of him missing in your voice, still so sorry for your loss but incredibly thankful for your content.
This house is beautiful ! It is very sad your Dad would not be with too see it finished .
Dad is always there...he's still guiding those professional hands....cheers
What a amazing and beautiful project! Dad is proud of you!
What a journey it has been and the amazing thing is that Outside Senior was there long enough in the process to help do the big jobs best done with someone and where safety would be a big issue. God knew that you needed him then and only when you came back down to ground level, he went to his eternal, heavenly resting place, having blessed not just you with his welcome presence, but has been a blessing to all of us, even down here in South Africa. Thank you Outsiders!
Always a treat to watch your progress. Amazed and impressed can't describe what you and your Dad have accomplished. Looking forward to each episode. Wishing you continued success, safety, and good health.
Thank you my friend. 🙂🙏
Always a good morning when we're surprised by a update by "the Outsider "....everything is coming together and looking so well...the professionalism and outstanding techniques you display are obviously signs you were paying attention while being raised....he'll always be there !!!...."cheers"
It looks so beautiful and snugly built inside. Also, you make every step of this process look so easy, no doubt to all your forethought and planning. Well done!
Thank you Becky! 🙂
As always, love to see new videos from you!! I miss seeing your dad help you. God bless!!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC JOB. WE ALL MISS YOUR DAD‼️🙏❤️ Vinny 🇺🇸
So enjoy watching this cabin get some more finishing touches. It is so cozy and well made. It is also filled with so many memories of Outsider Sr. The legacy of your combined skills will forever stand in this retreat.
I still feel the presence of Sr. Outsider. He is still with up and in the cabin. Next, the storm @ about 4:56 was beautiful. Your story telling through photography/videography is has matured by leaps and bounds. Simply outstanding!
🥰🎇
Know your dad is missed by those of us watching for many years as well. ❤️💜❤️ Many blessings. Great job on the flooring btw.
I am so very sorry to hear your father has passed away. All your beautiful and poignant memories will always be with you as well as his spirit. God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing and continuing this build with us.
The cabin looks absolutely beautiful! I wish we could watch more of the thunderstorm though... And a word of advice. Have your DC to AC converter and your batteries moved to your solar panels location, maybe built a dedicated cabinet there. Having 100ft of cables transfering DC power creates huge power losses. The best way is to have AC passing through your wires all the way to the cabin itself, with little to no power loss at all. This way you will see a big improvement from your solar array!
solar off-grid cabin NOT newer good use AC power waste lot energy stupid, all light,TV, heater,fan,fridge, can buy 12 volt DC system and save lot energy , only stupid use AC machines whit inverter, and 100FT cable mneed lot biggest cable no waste power to heat cable, you can measure how much volts power drop, measure panel output and then measure what volt have in cabin lot drop and need biggest sguaremeter cable change this.
It's been an absolute pleasure being on this journey with you. Thank you for opening up parts of your life for us.
You & your dad have great skills... Very impressed with the work you've done in the past year.. & the sacrifices you had to make... will be made up in all the memories you & your family willl have in the future....
Thank you for showing this series working with your Dad. I've enjoyed watching them. RIP Sr. Outsider, you legacy will live for generations to come!
The house and your work is wonderful. I see you Dad everywhere in that build. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
It is truly special to see how far the channel has come. From not hardly seeing your face to finally hearing your explanations and even your poetic thoughts about the back country you call home.
Awesome as usually. I’m sure you miss the help of your dad. Floor is perfect looking forward to next video I’ve been telling my wife about you and the cabin. She said that I am obsessed with this build. I said there is so much more than just a cabin build. She is now watching with me.
Remarkable that you have so much knowledge and skill to do all of this work while you are young enough to execute it all on your own. It's a testament to your Dad and the kind of father he was.
It always amazes me how many people loved your father, myself included.. We really miss seeing him in the videos. Being a father of 3 kids your age, there is no greater joy then passing on knowledge and life skills to your children. They may not always listen, but some do. Your dad had taught you a lot of life lessons that we see today and will continue to see in the future. These skills you will no doubt pass down to your kids someday. Keep up the great work as always. :)
Long day at work. Great to sit and relax and watch this episode, imagining myself in his shoes. Thank you for all the work you do to present this to all of us!
Omg your skills and strength is out of this world. You must be a math genius. Precise and clean. Wow!
Your emotional strength is incredible. Under absolute unimaginable loss and pain, you continue to push forward just like your father would want. I don’t want to pretend to know what you’re dealing with but can only imagine. God bless, you.
Great job young outsider!!!
Good job on the " solar" ,n , the floor is going to be awesome! C Ya on the next vid!
👍🐾🐺🧙♂️🐺🐾👍!
You’re making such wonderful progress and the cabin is truly stunning. It’s understood that the pain of losing your Dad so suddenly, is still raw. He would be so proud of your determination, to carry on with the cabin build. Just take all the time you need, you’re doing an incredible job..🙏👏
Every Saturday morning I get my coffee and look for your newest video. Some days I just have coffee, but some days are like today. Thanks for this content. No cheesy music. Just a craftsman doing his thing. Stay well and keep it up.
So glad your Dad is in so many of the videos, Enjoy going back and watching the two of you working together. Did your Dad have a sence of humor? Just wondering. My Condolences again, I know you miss him so much. My dad was my best friend. He taught me how to build and work with my hands. He didn't try to hold me back from learning what I wanted because I was female like most of his generation. He passed away in 2004 and I still think of him almost every day.
Hello Mr Outsider I have watched all your videos from the beginning and I've enjoyed your journey good and bad times. You make the videos really interesting and informative. I love all your family and pray for you all and I pray the cabin will carry on giving you joy as it's given us viewers. Bless you and your family, I really love the cabin its looking fabulous well done. God bless take care from Amanda from Scotland UK xx
It's been wonderful seeing this cabin come together so beautifully.
Thanks Young man... always nice to see you ... yep.. we miss your Dad too.... but we know where we came from and where we're going... thanks Jesus... Great work on the floor.... really going to shine ! ... God bless you and the missus .
Blessings to you Brother. You and your dad, likely built from a dream, so his legacy will always be with you.
Great video once again. It's incredible to see the transformation in a years time. I agree with you It's missing one thing *sniff* BTW I LOVE how you're incorporating pennies into the flooring BRILLIANT idea!
Congratulations on the great job you have done. You had a great father and I am sorry for the loss. Best wishes! Greetings from the Dolomites, Italy.
The little insert of your Dad pulled at my heart strings. I miss him a LOT as I'm sure you miss him twice as much. LUV TO ALL YOUR FAMILY and looking 4ward to seeing your future cabin build and to see how you decorate it. 🙂🙂🙂🥰🥰🥰👍👍
It is a beautiful cabin. You & your Dad have done a phenomenal job on it. And now you have something that should last a lifetime or two to remember your Dad by, along w/all the memories you have of him captured on film that you can go back to & review them over & over whenever you want to. I'm looking forward to all the future build out plans you have for this cabin. Ik God is letting him & your mom look down from heaven on you & see the progress of what you both have built together. They are proud of you & are waiting patiently for when the sunset's on your time here on earth & you join them in heaven. May God continue to bless you, your wife & baby girl.
Just curious about the flooring... Did you leave any edge space between the flooring and the walls, like a quarter of an inch or so? Everyone has always told me you have to allow a gap for such flooring, as it will expand/contract through the seasons. The cabin's looking simply beautiful, a family heirloom.
I was thinking the same. I'm guessing his thought is that the boards will shrink more than expand since they are inside now. May naturally leave a gap when finished curing. Just a guess.
@@1bcordell When those boards shrink the screws will cause them to split.
I had the same thought. It’s a very different lumber situation-Mr. Outsider’s wood is more old growthy and had some seasoning. When my son-in-law built a fence, out of lumberyard stock, he was meticulous down to the 16th about measuring and cutting. After one winter many of the eight foot 2x4 rails had shrunk so much that the screws holding them into the post snapped in half. It’s a cautionary tale reminding us to buy our lumber and store dry a year before we use it.
Yes, I was wondering the same. That is at least one purpose to skirting board, to cover that gap. However, since the whole building is timber and ready to expand/contract as well, maybe that sorts the problem?
@@olddodger7178 definitely going to see a lot of shrinkage in the dead of winter. Boards may even buckle.
Wonderful craftsmanship. Hoping all is well with you and the Mrs. Thank you for allowing us to all come along on your journey. Peace!
I watched with love all the videos of the portable cabin you took with the sled for the first time, and then the exquisite cabin you made with your father. Your father and you were amazing people. You are a very intelligent, talented, very strong man with a big heart. Lastly, I was very sorry about your father's death because it was as if I was with you while he was making the cabin. Now I know your life story. I wish your wife, daughter and you a healthy and happy years and I'm very curious about where you put that amazing epoxy door and how it looks. From another continent... With love! 😘💝💖❤💞🙏🙏🙏
I love how it’s turning out. You are doing a super good job on it and your dad would be very proud of your hard work.
What a beautiful cabin. A work of art, hard work and determination.
I understand the void you feel without your father. Been there. Time heals the body and spirit. As for the solar/generator, at first it seems out of place for a cabin. However it is a useful convenience. You've done a good job minimizing it's intrusion indoors. Hoping to soon see family and friends in and about the cabin. What a memorial it is!
Hello, I came up on your channel today while looking through TH-cam. I love and have worked in construction all my life. I really liked what you and your father were doing as I kept watching I saw your video about your loss. I wanted to say how sorry I am that your father was called away from you and your family. Please accept my sincere condolences.
I wish you all the best.
God bless, a friend
I believe Sr. ( and his wife ) are right there w you. Looking down, watching over, protecting. Warms my heart to watch these. Many thanks…
Epic build... your skill, patients, and craftsmanship is on another level. I'm sure your father is beaming with pride as he watches over the project. You are a true inspiration in these troubling times, thank you and God Bless
Good morning from Ohio. Watching you make the flooring was amazing! You have so many talents and gifts. I agree there is someone missing but when I look around the cabin I see your Dad’s hands touched every part of it. I did cry and I’m tearing up typing this. Thank you for sharing another wonderful video with us, God Bless.
P.S. A while back the discussion about you being there alone and possibly getting hurt, have you considered getting like a Apple Watch or a Android Watch to wear. That way you’d have something you could wear to alert emergency if you got hurt. Just a suggestion. I’m a worrier and care about you.
I miss your dad. I have enjoyed watching the cabin build and your dad working with you in all types of weather. I know your dad is going to be proud from above when all completed. Keep doing the good things you do. Your quality content is appreciated. Blessings from Groton/New London, Connecticut. USA.
As a Canadian I I feel honored that you included Canadian pennies.
Oops, Must explain something about my post... I confused him for and american builder and thought he had inadvertently used a canadian penny. But I was wrong. He is canadian.
The flooring is going to be gorgeous. I’ve stayed away from the internet for a while just for piece of mind. Good to see you again.. God bless.
Your doing such a good job on the cabin. I know your Dad would be proud!
As a old carpenter I like the way you put the floor down , only thing is you need to leave a gap at least 1/4” along walls to prevent the boards from heaving and warping on you from shrinking and expanding. Your dad is right there watching you and in your thoughts.
Trench work requires a solid level of fitness of the lower back, careful attention to when it is time to take a break and continue at another time, and smart planning. Rock on Outsider! You are doing wonderfully well.
You have a lot on your shoulders without Sr. Outsider. You are a role model for showing to move things forward one small step at a time and eventually the task will get done. Patience! Cheers from Eastern Canada who admires your spirit and determination and such talent to build such a special cabin.
Good Morning! Great to see the cabin progress. Again, more inspiration of your superb craftsmanship.Thank you so much for taking the extra time to share your journey. God Speed!
Beautiful cabin you and Dad did a amazing job !
Beautiful floor and craftsmanship. Do miss your father. How proud of you he must be overlooking you. Love those pennies.
A suggestion if I may.
Place large rocks over the buried conduit in strategic locations so you can not only identify the location but to also to help the conduit from pushing up with the ground temp / moisture expansion.
This cabin is incredibly well thought out in terms of its equipment. And it's getting more and more comfortable. I like your work very much. Greetings from Germany
love the floors with the pennies. I hope you made a template and didn't measure every screw?
It's funny how much bigger the interior looks with the flooring down. It's truly a labour of love. Looking forward to the build out. Thank you for sharing.
Been watching you since about day one, so I feel kindof like a distant relative when I say this. Hes not missing hon, hes right there beside you, patting you on the back! Hes in every inch of that cabin, just as you are! And Im pretty sure he flew into your moms arms when he crossed over! Hes at peace, find yours. He wouldnt want you to be sad, when hes so happy! 😍😁 I know its sooo hard! ✌🏼🤟🏻💜
always sending love and peace.
I can feel the love inside that cabin right through my laptop. The beauty in every detail is a marvelous sight for the eyes. I absolutely love your drone video shots because you can hear all the Chickadees chirping in the trees.
im sorry for your loss bro but the memories you made on this project alone are admirable and desirable by many of us. may he rest in peace and smooth sailing on the rest of the project
Outsider, The old saying a "penny for your thoughts" now reflects the countless daily thoughts you will always
have about your father and what you two have accomplished. Great video. I greatly appreciate your editing skills that show us your process without dwelling on each stage. Well done, my friend.
The cabin is looking amazing and all your and Outsider Snr's hard work is paying off. I cannot believe the progress you are making. Everyday you work on this is one day closer to completion. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next video.
P.s. Outsider Snr may not be there physically but he is there within you, your hard work and all your memories. Never forget that.✌❤😊
Watching here in the Philippines ❤️
During this last winter season .. we had our entire house covered with metal sheeting. All the metal was screwed down through the peaks .. not the valleys. I know that's not the way you did it .. bc of second-hand sheeting .. but what I read in the comments confirmed for me that it was the right way to do it. Seeing your dad gone .. is such a sad reminder of how short our lives are. Everything should be done with care and great foresight. Thanks for another great video episode!
THE CABIN IS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL. GREAT JOB. I KNOW YOUR FATHER IS LOOKING DOWN ON YOU. HE WAS SUCH A PART OF THE CABIN. HE WILL LIVE ON WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY😘😇💕 MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I’m quite familiar with trenching to bury cable at the cabin. Just to install a yard light we dug a 50 ft trench to below the frost line in sandy soil. Lots of rocks and roots impeded our job, but a backhoe and tree loppers sure helped! That was almost 50 years ago, and it’s still in working order.
