    I'm glad you like this book. It sounds like a very useful and informative resource for shed-building enthusiasts. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The author seems to have a lot of experience and knowledge on how to build sheds of different styles and purposes. You must have learned a lot from his tips and examples. The photos are also impressive, they demonstrate the quality and beauty of the sheds. The book itself is also well-made, with glossy, thick paper and a soft cover that is pleasant to touch. This book is a wonderful choice. blush

    So many builders don’t build a a porch. It gives you a place to get out of the snow, gives you a chance to slit and stack wood. So glad you did this for you and your guests and think of the stories you will have to pass along

    My parents saved & bought a 1932 Cape Cod in '75, 10 yrs after graduating hs, marrying, & moving from TN to NY.
    It was fixer upper & dad did everything from the floors to the roof as well as outside (grapevine trellises, rosebushes to grace the kitchen windows, putting up a shed, lean to for the wood.
    The first yr, they bricked up the fireplace and put in a wood burning stove. He'd work alongside a cutter after his shifts on the LIRR & bring home the extra. Best decision ever! That stove heated two levels within 45 minutes and kept the oilman visits to once a year unlike the neighbors who had him out every other month starting in October 😮.
    I'd help him chop, season & rotate the wood throughout the summer to early fall, bringing the drier pieces to the back porch, splitting kindling, etc
    I remember helping him hang gutters, put up paneling (a true '70s experience 😂), replace the formica countertops, pull up the linoleum flooring and replace w tiles, replace piping, solder copper, painting rooms, putting up floor to ceiling mirrors to add depth, so much over those 20 yrs until I married and left.
    Then when he suffered a double stroke in 2017 and Alzheimer's set in, he eventually became wheelchair bound. I built a portable ramp from plywood, sanded & covered w outdoor carpet & put double looped handles on it from (get this) yardssss of telephone cord 😂 so his caregiver could lift it in & out of the doorway to take him outside. It tickled the neighbors to see his daughter donning his toolbelt!
    I'm honored to be able to follow in his footsteps in at least being able to take care of my own house (and cars, yep, he was THAT dad! I even went to work in the svc dept of a dealership all through high school & into college. There's NOTHING like the power of being able to know when a mechanic is trying to rip you off😂
    I'm screening in a patio next😊
    Thank you for the memories.

    Love the old crosscut saw. My Dad had one which he inherited from his Dad and the handle on his looked a lot like the handle on yours. Brought back memories of me watching him use it. He also had an old belt driven table saw that he had to be careful of when using and of course admonished us kids to stay away when he was cutting wood. Good times. Glad you finished off the cabin as I was wondering about that after the first video. I know there are still things to finish, but it's certainly looking good.

Folks who have, say, a propane stove, electronics, tools,etc etc. I spose a lot depends on location BUT when ur umpteen miles away at home? Then what? Can u get insurance to restore the place? Even if so, having ONE such event would take me out of the charm mode. Thoughts?

      Doesn’t have to be.
      Kinda the same thing, just a little bigger. Maybe costs a little more depending how you come about materials.
      Just do a little planning.
      Tweak your plans a bit.
      Then build it a step at a time.
      No shame in asking for help on occasion. Or simply stop and regroup if something isn’t going right.
      Plan costs and time for extra stuff. Something usually comes up. It doesn’t matter how much experience or planning you have.

      The forest is alive, it feels everything, understands everything. As you treat him, so he treats you. You will love him and he will love you. You treat him with warmth, and he will warm you. You will protect him, and he will save you and comfort you in difficult times. But the Forest cannot respond to evil with evil, it simply does not know how. The worst thing on his part is indifference. If the forest is indifferent to you, then you don’t love it, you don’t feel it, and it will never reveal its secrets to you. But if you love him, then it's forever. You will not be able to live without him then, longing will seize. It's like longing for a very close person or phantom pain. It seems that he left the forest for a while and not far, in general, but still you already feel that something is not right, something is missing. Yes, you can get used to it and you can even somehow live with it ... Although, no, not to live - to exist, to pull the strap, but not to live. It will no longer be possible to live. But when you return, then you will understand - you are at home, and they were waiting for you here, you are welcome, you are missed. And how good it is to finally be home!

    My dad built us a large playhouse when we were young and went on to build three of our homes. I grew up with the scent of fresh wood. Lovely. My son and my brother spent this summer building a screen porch on his garage on a property in northern Wisconsin. I am so glad these carpentry skills in my family have survived three generations. I love watching these videos. They are relaxing and wonderful to see. Great work.

    I have an old summer pasture home in the Austrian Alps at 1000 meters elevation. It was built in stages, with the oldest bits about 600 years old.
    Although I didn’t built it, I’m fascinated by the techniques used by the herders who did. It would be too simple to say that it is built using simple techniques: while the cuts and methods are easy to understand, it’s amazing how precise the fitment is. Basically none of the cuts are straight, the tools used were primitive, and the is not a nail or screw in any of it.
    The house itself is HUGE. Three stories high, with space for animals and equipment - today taken up by bedrooms, of course. It sleeps 18 easily.
    All this built with what appears to be raw lumber from the area, with no nails and handmade hand tools (some of these are still in the basement).
    It’s nice to be able to go there.

    Another benefit of a woodstove besides heating and cooking in one unit, is that you have ashes to get lye from for cleaning. And a deep window sill is also good for growing herbs that you can use to cook your food with like chives, rosemary, basil, thyme, oregano, sage, coriander, dill, and parsley.

      I thought the same about the ‘prayer’. It actually caught me off guard, but didn’t surprise me that Dave gave thanks. Always cheerful in his demeanour. This is someone who acknowledges + is grateful for what he has. Food, water + a roof over his head. 😌 Keep things in perspective + be grateful when things go well. It would be naive to think things will always go this way.

    A friend and I, she from Michigan and I from Buffalo, were saying how much we prefer living in FL now. The snow up north is so pretty, but when you're in the city it's pretty until the plows get through and ice the roads, and the drivers splash mud all over everything. If I could live in a cozy cabin in the woods, that would be different. You can enjoy the beauty of the seasons in a place like that.

    I'm 62, been retired since 55 but working nearly full time as a CDL driver (actually 3 employers, part- time with each).
    Anyway, I'm still struggling to find that piece of land where I can cabin. That seems to be the big hurdle for me..... but I'm trying my best to keep my eyes open. My wife and I are both ready for this adventure, but realtors aren't too quick to answer calls from a guy wanting to buy just a few acres.
