  • Continuing the cabin build. I had some help this trip (thanks to my 19yr old twin sons) setting the roof rafters and installing our cedar dock. Thanks for following along!
    Here is the link to the dock hardware I used: tommydocks.com/collections/bo...

    You should consider putting bearing blocks under the loft floor joists instead of relying on two bolts to carry the load in shear. Not seeing any collar ties or hurricane clips (IBRC code) and you may need a tie rod with a turnbuckle where you do not have floor joists to keep the walls from spreading since you do not have a ridge beam.

    wow, you really have to be 100% confident in your abilities to pre-cut all the rafters. I cut one rafter took it to the site and fit it and it's a good thing I did cause I was off by about an inch. Good job.

    Nice. You have to remember to always wear your life vests, always. The game wardens will ticket you, and most of the time you're farther out than you realize and getting back to shore may not be easy ir possible

    Would you consider sharing the dimensions and cuts of your rafters and details on how you did the roof w/the supports holding the beam?

    I just found your channel, and I am very impressed… where abouts in Northern MI are you? I’m getting ready to move from SoCalifornia to Lewiston MI… a super long drive, for me and my animals…(about 2600 mi)… and a nice change in seasons!

    Brilliant! Thanks for this. Got the floor done in my own cabin...can't wait to get the walls up. I notice you don't have any blocking between the studs to fix the Zip sheeting horizontally. Maybe it's not necessary?

      I designed it myself, but borrowed from many other designs I found. Worked the build around windows and doors I got good deals on over the past year.

    When you say Northern Michigan, is this the UP or upper lower peninsula? Good content! Like the channel.

    • @echoesupnorth2367
      @echoesupnorth2367  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Im just about as far north as you can get in the lower. :-)

    Up north where? I detect an American accent. Come up to Canada to experience some real north.

    Is that building just for camping or will you live there

    • @echoesupnorth2367
      @echoesupnorth2367  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just for camping until I can build a "real" retirement home here. :-)

    Love the project and the videos. Just a tip and I don’t mean to be rude but when you’re narrating and turn your head away, this old man can’t hear you 🙂. Keep up the good work and God’s speed.
