NEW HERE?
Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...
Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!

Suggest that you prime and pint both sides of island trap door and put a handle on it for easy lifting.

sliding T bevel are a useful tool.
Since it's so cold there what about doing an actual Bee house? A small out building that is completely insulated. The bees have an outside entrance and you have a entrance on the inside allowing you to check on your bees at all times, as well as a place for all your bee keeping stuff.
One of my deliveries last year he had, what he called a bee barn. He said it worked fantastic. No major losses since he put it up.
My bees have survived -40°F up here in Northern Minnesota. You may have had a ventilation problem that allowed moisture to build up. I leave my screened bottoms open. I also use wood shavings in the top box (no bag) but then I put in 1/4” spacers on the top so air can escape from the top - allowing the he hive u it to breath up from the bottom. I used no extra insulation on the sides of the box, but the boxes get full sun most of the day. Sometimes bee colonies just die though…
What a huge difference the flooring makes!! Great job on the railing, it looks great.
Sorry to hear about your bee’s!!!!! The railings are looking very nice and the floors are beautiful.God Bless you and thanks for sharing.☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The name I would use for that tool is an 'Adjustable Sliding Bevel'
Wow…absolutely stunning! Choosing a stain can be scary, but I’m glad I could help. Looks great!
Nice job on the railing. Oh wow nice floor.
That is a big house. Lots of work to keep it clean.
That railing looks quite spirnickity. Thank you for the share
You can cut the railing with a miter saw. Aluminum cuts really eases with a miter saw
Make sure you put good railing going down into the safe room.
Leave the frames and honey in your hives to either attract a new colony or help to establish the new colony that you purchase.
Wood top ( to match the base ) on the railing post for sure !
You have too love your cats 😻
On your second railing (overlooking the living room), you could install a big speaker on each end for surround sound.
That tool is actually called an articulated square.
IOWA DAD JOKE of the day
[Q] What do you call,a retired soviet soldier,with a grenade launcher?
[A] an AARPG
Toon in with me on 4-2 Saturday mornings in Spokane
Ohhh family nice job!
The house is coming along nicely :) love the rail just need the stained wood caps to match the floor support, yes try to keep the bees in a sunny area :) good luck with them this year,
Missed opportunity to have some fun and install a fireman's pole. 🙂
Check out Beekeeping with the Bee Whiaperer. He is in Maine and has tons of hives. He might be able to help you with winterize your bees.
Thumbs up 👍 thanks for sharing
Everything looks great! Enjoy watching!
that a honeybee will die within an hour if the temperature drops below -2°C (28°F). If the temperature is between 9-12°C (48-54°F), bees fall into a chill-coma where they can survive for up to 50 hours if they are then warmed back up to room temperature.
Yours is the third homestead I have seen recently that has lost their bees. Everyone has been a homestead with lots of snow and colder weather. Love the new railing and flooring. Your home is really close to completion. Fantastic!!!!!
GOOD AFTERNOON
NICE JOB GUYS. LOVE Y'ALL
Getting the railing up was very exciting I had to close my eyes every time I saw it open. Lol, Sorry about the bees I hope you have better luck this year.
Ya'll are doing a great job.... Sorry about the bees... You might want to look into the indoor style of bee hives. That way they stay nice and toasty during winter time...
Hand rails are going to look great and now I don’t have to hold my breath when y’all get close to that edge and the floor looks awesome.
You are the "A" team and don't you love it when a plan comes together.
I am a "neighbor" just south of Sandpoint. Have been keeping bees in cold climate for years and I have a few tips to pass on if your interested.
Interested in passing bee knowledge.....not being on TH-cam :)
Light switch to root cellar?
Looking great!!
Looking very nice!
Progress is such a cool thing.....
So cool guy's, we are the same vintage, Saturday morning cartoons! Pyjamas and cereal.
Looks really good you guys ❤
Looks great!
You can buy honey bee hive heating pads. They sell 12vdc versions so you could set up a stand-alone power system with a small solar panel, solar charger, and battery.
Some RVers use them to keep their Lithium batteries above 32degree F so they will take a charge during winter months.
Insulating your hives in your climate is wise however you have to be sure to leave the opening clear so they can leave to gather water as needed. That would also mean keeping snow from blocking the opening as well.
looks good Brother
Everything is looking fantastic.
Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
Most people use their right hand for the railing so I don't know what you're worried about the left hand railing for
The railing looks great !!! The floors look great !!! Let’s have a wedding !!!!
Re: bees .. if they had enough food and it wasn't like extremely cold, what is left is either an intruder or moisture (lack of ventilation). My guess is on the latter.
They call that square a swing square.
It looks great guys,,,,,
beautiful work
GOOD JOB. Nice video.
I like the floor ,so wonderfull
Love your channel.
Awesome workmanship.
wow that is so cool!
Flooring looks great! Good job on the railings.
Sometimes it's the silly things in life that count. I take great joy, every time you are sweeping up... In seeing that we have the same broom. ROFLOL
The tool you used to find the correct angle for the slope of the ceiling is called a bevel gauge. The important thing is you knew how to use it.
Good job on the work you do and for the clear explanations you give.
Bevel square
Hey Marty, that angle tool that you are using I was always told that it was called a swangle
Greetings, I think it's easier to add the corners, a small triangular wall made with Gybsum Board and that's how the corners square
Hey Marty cardboard is perfect for using as templates.hold it up against the wall and floor,trace what you have.
The new railings looks great! And I must say it: Safety Sally is just plain creepy!
please do a lean test on the railing to make sure it wont fall if someone leans up against it, kids can be silly and run and jump into it and hang off it, so you want to exceed the load just to be safe
Keren banget Martin dan Julie...lama2 jadi kaya Noah bangun rumah pake tangan sendiri dari scratch..
Sure is looking nice❤ laid back living 👍 good people🤗👍❤
Love the black railing and the flooring
Never say never. We keep missing our bottom step. Fell with great grandbabies twice. Trying to be so careful. Older than you
YOU BOTH ARE DOING A AWSOME JOB
Wow love all the black railing and fantastic JOB for sure. The flooring is spectacular love the colors and love the way the light comes through the windows and helps heat the house for sure. God is Blessing you ALL.
The house is coming along nicely. The railing iooks great and definitely is going to be safe. It looks like some time will be spent custom making the ends of the railing.
You need to look at a European flat hive house which can be heather in the winter. The hive house is well insulated, and it makes it easy to work the Beas in the winter and also helps to keep the hives from over heating in the summer.
The hive house has 3 horizontal hives , and when you go inside of the hive house it looks as if you have a bench on 3 sides of the house on the inside.
The house I saw they actually had 5 hives in the house 2 on the long wall and one on the short wall.
When I first saw it I thought it was a garden shed, but the 8 holes in the shed walls with bee gates gave it away.
In Ukraine in the mountains this is very common and in the park in Khmelnitsky was such a building in the birch forest in the park.
Talk to Doug and Stacy about their European friend he has been teaching Doug about bee keeping, their channel is off grid with Doug and Stacy and they are from Easter Missouri.
as for the stain you are you using, it remind me of the water bed I had, that was the exact stand used on many water bed frames.
Great work guys! Love the hand rails.
Maybe for next winter you can get a 12volt hive heater to keep the bees from dying.
Called a "Cheater's Square" back east
I wonder how one of those lifting struts would work on the far end of the cellar door.
LOVE the floor Beautiful color ♥
Beautiful railing, beautiful floors. Get the sticky film off your new windows OR that sticky will be hard to Get completely off. Why is it still on there?
Good morning
You've done a wonderful job with the railings. The floors look beautiful. Love the color. ❤
Rail turned out real nice. Great room floor looks awesome! Super teamwork as always. Thanks for sharing
The flooring is 😊 absolutely beautiful.
its looks great 👍
The name of that tool is sliding T bevel
I’m shocked how Tucks has never jumped off of there.
Look into attracting local wild honey bees into your area. Bees that are ordered may not last in your area. Heavier walls on the bee boxes too.
It's a Sliding Bevel Gauge - in the UK at least.
Love watching your progress. Great family!
It surprised me thatcthey started the flooring in the centre of the room. I've never seen it done that way.
I am still watching this episode and you are probably finished by now, but my 67 year old grandma self would want wooden plant shelving built in those end spaces. Great place for house plants. :)
Did you guys do a mite check on the hive in the fall?
Your home is really comming together. Sometime it makes sense to have professionals do some of the work.
I’m loving your flooring. ❤❤❤
Good job on figuring out the railing!
yes Saturday cartoons are still a thing for me and I am 54 so get up on Sat and get a bowl and some cereal and some milk and put the tv on and have fun it my me time lol
Bee's, entrance always facing unblocked East.
Paint the lid also
If you know any metal work people maybe design end pieces with a design to enclose ends.
Why don't you build a Bee house with windows to open during the summer and close during the winter period?
With that flooring a yo del lay dee who would have echoed quite well.
I really enjoyed this video. A lot accomplished. And it looks beautiful.
