I was smiling ear to ear watching this morning! I still can’t believe I had the honor to help on this beautiful cabin with you and a wonderful group of people. Thank you Martin. I’ll be see you in October 2025!
I can't stop smiling! I told Dad (he's 88) during our Friday evening call that I can't imagine it will be much longer until we hear from you. But yes, it was still a surprise! If I didn't have some issues that would make deep-woods travel a hazard, I'd certainly have found a way to be there. Congrats and continued blessings on the 54 years. Glad to see that duct tape still comes in handy (😁). Stay safe up there. We love ya Brother. Uh, err, ahh, I mean, remember, we're pullin for ya!
You sneaky ol' bird, you. This was a huge surprise! I would never have guessed. Team work got it done, I'm so happy for you. Simply wonderful, Looks fabulous too. ♥ much love to you and all your kind and loving helpers.♥
Martin, your dream came true! 🏠 Congratulations! Good friends to help, sister Paula cooking, and the best wife who gifted you alone time at the Cabin on your anniversary! Martin you truly are blessed! ✝️
We did scribe before cutting the final shape but were not all that fussy. I noted how the notches on the old cabin walls in the forest were far from tight and still outlasted the walls.
Looking forward to seeing you more! The new cabin really has come along since your last video. That was truly a blessing those that came out to help you. So glad your doing well! Good Bless and be safe. 🇺🇸🙏🏻
What an awesome surprise , and a great job on the new place . Can't wait to see the videos! Thanks, everyone, for helping Martin , i know he truly appreciated it .😊
@jamiegratton9748 you bet sir. It was great meeting you. I'll be doing a video shortly on the project I was working on and had to go back to. Plenty of clips of the start of his cabin
Congratulations on a mammoth task well done. You are an inspiration! Just the prep work was a huge task. So glad you got through it without getting hurt. I missed my weekly Martin fix but know now they will be coming in. Get some well deserved rest and enjoy some of Vonnie's good cooking. So glad I found your channel. God Bless
WOE, SOOOOO EXICITED FOR YOU TO, MARTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW CUTE OF A CABIN!!!!! i WAS ADMIRING THAT NEW CHAIR, YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!! HOPE YOU KEEP THAT WOODEN TREE LOG AS YOUR SIDE TABLE????? GOD BLESS & Do take care. Fl.
I had a great time during my week and am thrilled to see that you were all able to progress to the point that the roof is on and it's all dried in. I'd feel privileged to help more in the future, and would bring the Bellman espresso maker again. ;-)
Wow how wonderful to see this cabin built before snow comes. It looks great. So happy you got a lot of help getting it done. Now the fun part of completing it. Know you can handle that. So good of Vonnie to sharing you with all of us. God bless you and Vonnie and all the men who helped you. From deep southeast Mississippi.😊❤❤
Always a pleasure to surf into your cabin Martin, so quiet and peaceful up there in the forest. Gratulations with the new cabin and great to hear that so many viewers and friends came to help you building it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Congratulations for building the guest cabin with all the friends that graciously came to help, and share the experience! Really looks fantastic! Rest up with your beautiful wife Old Timer, Happy Anniversary!❤
CONGRATS MARTIN!! THIS NEW CABIN WILL LAST FOR DECADES, AND EVERTONE WILL KNOW YOUR NAME AND HOW INSTRUMENTAL YOU WEREIN GETTING THIS THING DONE.....Enjoy and have a coffee for me!!!
Wow Martin, You all did a great job. I have been looking at the rocks you chose and how they worked out. Glad you all had a good time together working hard.
Thanks again Martin for the opportunity to visit your little piece of heaven and to be part of a great cabin building team ! It was a true pleasure to spend time with you and the great group of people i now call friends. It’s something i will never forget and look forward to making a return trip next year to finish things up. Frank
Finish things up? Careful what you ask for Frank, as Marty has a lot of wood leftover and is still thinking of building that gazebo that this project started out as!! lol
So nice to see your new cabin , you look so happy , great job , its good to see you got so much help from friends .Have a blessed future in the new cabin **
Oh wow! I dreamed that you had a new video and I awake and here you are! The cabin looks great! You all did an amazing job! Can’t wait to see the new videos! Thank you!
WOW, I'M WAY OVER THE POND IN SOUTH AFRICA & YOUR CHANNEL APPEARED IN MY NEWSFEED. GOSH HOW AWESOME. HOWEVER I'VE GOT TO START @ THE VERY FIRST VIDEO. BEAUTIFUL PLACE 🌍🇿🇦🙏💌💯🔥👍
Oh Mr. Martin...the new cabin looks FABULOUS!!!! I'm sooooo glad you had such wonderful helpers. I know this has beem your dream for so long. People love you and they love the cabin. Thank you for all your hard hard work and for sharing it all with us. Thanks Vonnie for sharing your fella with so many.
That is great Martin! Glad you had a successful time up there. I have been watching you a good many years now and also enjoy teasing your good wife now and then on the other channel too.
Man !! Great Surprise 👍The cabin is looking fine and like many others I’ve been looking forward to seeing it- This is my kind of living and wishing I could have been there also = keep the video and updates coming Sir 👍
Well Martin you did the cabin looks great thanks to all the workers and thanks for a great video and happy anniversary to you and vonny thanks again and god bless
A couple of years planning and now in a month you're dried in. You have some awesome followers. I can't wait for the weekly vids on how it happened and how it looks when finished. Get some rest Martin, I'm sure Vonnie has some good cooking for you! Happy Anniversary! 👏👍😉🍁
Superb work Martin and friends. I picture a "north country showcase" accompanied by a hot coffee and a splash of whisky on a cold Autumn eve in the new cabin!
Wow, that was like magic. I watched you all last winter in your videos. Cutting and moving them logs. There's still hope in humanity out there isn't there?
It was my pleasure to watch this video today and see the end product of a months labour. My wife and I travelled through northern Minnesota the last week of September. When we went over the bridge from Superior Wisconsin to Duluth on our way home, I mentioned to her that Martin was probably already at his cabin getting ready for the crew to show up. We pass through there every year going to Ontario Canada from our home in British Columbia Canada. I look forward to seeing the videos of the new Guest Cabin. John
Wow so awesome to see the new cabin and that's awesome u had help from all over! I bet it was a great experience! Thanks for sharing all your adventures and life at the cabin! Or I should say cabins now!
You should be proud! You made a plan, you worked hard to set it all up, and then your friends and fans came together to make it all happen! I was slightly worried that you would not get enough help to accomplish all this! I worried for nothing! Great Job, Martin! I look forward to seeing the build videos!
Wow this is the video that l have been waiting for been thinking about you for the past few weeks and wondering how you’re getting on with the build, it is truly amazing well done to you and all your helpers this made my day,can’t wait for the future videos.Take care you’ve earned a rest.
Marty i'am still around your coffee drinking buddy do you remember me & i had coffee with you the last 4 or 5 years. Cabin is looking good Martin . PS your friend Gary!!
I was smiling ear to ear watching this morning! I still can’t believe I had the honor to help on this beautiful cabin with you and a wonderful group of people. Thank you Martin. I’ll be see you in October 2025!
Very privileged to get to know you too Jamie!
So looking forward to it. I need sketches of how to do the west porch and maybe a lean to porch on south side.
Hi Jamie. It's Martin's sister. So glad to have met you! Many thanks for helping my brother.
I can't stop smiling! I told Dad (he's 88) during our Friday evening call that I can't imagine it will be much longer until we hear from you. But yes, it was still a surprise!

Thanks, you're right about the duct tape!
Wow. Awesome job. You’re a sneaky fella!
Could not wait to show it off.
Congratulations Martin! It's so cool to see your dream unfold.
I has been fun.
You sneaky ol' bird, you. This was a huge surprise! I would never have guessed. Team work got it done, I'm so happy for you. Simply wonderful, Looks fabulous too. ♥ much love to you and all your kind and loving helpers.♥
