Hi Boss! Your friends from Locke, NY here, and oh how we’ve missed you. Life has been so hectic and we lost track of watching your videos. They bring us so much joy and education. We have now made it a daily routine to watch one video a night of yours. Thank you for educating, inspiring, and sharing your wisdom (and art) with us! Much love and gratitude, Karynn and Karl Altmann
Boss Of The Swamp for more than one reason. With age and time comes wisdom. I'm 65 and still going to College. Ya ! University of Hard Nocks. You can always learn something from someone. It's Life Learning that never ends.
JC, there is not one thing you said that I would do differently. You have a great talent as a builder and are very disciplined in you technical methods. I agree with it all, thanks for putting quality videos to help so many people! The nickname Boss definitely fits you Sir.
Great Q&A, JC! I sometimes wish I could kidnap you for a few days to give me advice on some projects, but these videos really do help! You are a wealth of knowledge, disguised in camo!
We're getting ready to build ourselves a log cabin starting next spring. I'm absorbing like a sponge all the info I can get and yours is the best by far! Thanks ! Stay strong, healthy and happy!
Hello JC- You have such useful, common sense, building advice and instruction. In case noone has noticed, the price of just about everything has gone " through the ROOF!". Feels like we are going back in time in a good way. I say that because we 1970s homesteaders had energy, motivation and NO MONEY. And here we are again! You are revisiting the concept of thinking and working smart. It has served us well to this day. Life on our farm is going along in good fashion. Six calves and counting... Your new property project is looking mighty fine! Happy spring to you and Lori ! ~ Diane
Thank you Diane. Prices have been paralyzing to my project plans. I work on many projects at one time, doing what I can where i wont go broke in the process. All the best to you and Jim :-)
Nice video on your aspects of how it is! Best part of video was when you paused for a commercial break and u tube put it in right there on time! Hope all is going well with y'all, season has changed and it's beautiful as can be! 🐕🐶😊👌
Good free advice. You should be the spokesperson for bubble foil. Only northerners know about froze line. Southerners just need concrete a 8-10" pad and start building on top. Best to consult a local Geotechnical engineer to insure the footings are proper. Sure don't want uneven settling after the building is up. Next is the building design and orientation for best use of natural lighting ventilation. Best built it right n no short cuts, unless you know what you are doing.
Thanks for taking the time to give this information boss man. You just can’t beat life experience. Where is my pencil and paper to write this stuff down🙂👍
Thank you, Boss, for this information. I am going to my new property next month in Oregon at the 5100-foot level, in the montains, and forested. There is a lot of rock up there so I know I will need to be careful where I put my support. I will update you after I get up there and try to send you some photos. Good luck, Mike
Just finished watching Video an just enjoyed watching an listening to you!! Not going to be building anything soon but if l was WEALTH of information!! Already told my Son who is going to build Chicken Coop about BUBBLE Foil !!! Going to build here on my place an will have this Video ready for him!!! Excited about having chickens again So enjoy watching you with yours!! God Bless and HEALTH to you an Lori and PUPs 🐶🙏🙏🕊
Another Great Episode of "This New/Old Homestead"!! J.C., it is always interesting to learn what you have learned over time in building design and use.....glad all is well up on the Mountain! Take care, and God Bless! ~Lou
I've been a subscriber for many years, I truly enjoy your videos and recommend to those who really need your advice. Stay health Boss big hugs to Franky.
First I sat down and saw you had a video. Then, I clicked on it. Then, before watching, I clicked LIKE. No brainer. NOW, I'm gonna watch the video and come back. Truly, I was in Greece listening to ya's. I didn't care. I watched. I was sticking around to the end for the song. I'm a 55 yr old lady that loves your channel. I am a gardener. I know NOTHING about building anything. LOL I'm sure those that are got some steller advice. Many blessings to you and Lori. Love from West Tennessee.
You be proud of me, we were up at our new property today 5/10/22 and I found a big piece of Chaga it weighs 26.65 ounces. We have a lot of birch on the property and the birch that was looking at had it all over the place we have Popular trees we have red oak trees. Lots of dead fall for this coming winter for heat
Man ,I sure enjoy your videos,its such a pleasure to listen to a common sense bulder,that thinks through his methods and dosent just throw something up!!😉👍 Hey? didnt you say you were going to rename your channel? or did I just dream that? Thanks for all you do for this channel, I sure do appreciate it, and always enjoy them...
JC you need to write a book about your methods! You sold me on the bubble foil a long time ago. I think most TH-camrs say there is no way it could work OR they got their info from you and endorse it. Your book would be the thinnest “How To” book because it would be filled with common sense and no fluff. With all of your years of experience building cabins, I’m going with what you say every time. Even when I get the “raised eyebrow” look when I tell people what I am going to do, it just doesn’t matter to me! You have always given great advise based on actual first hand knowledge. Good enough for me! Thank you! 😁
I really enjoy your episode s ,your so blessed with not on carpentry, which is a big help to someone 🙏 like myself who isn't a handy man at all ,but I m always willing to learn .God bless you 🙏 my friend.
We both learned a few things, sad to say our project days are over due to age. Young people can learn much from your videos, very informative. Blessings
I totally understand what you're talking about with the frost. At different points on our property the frost acts differently, depending on how thick the topsoil is from the top to the bedrock. How humid the ground was before the freeze, where springs are. Great video, thanks for the info... also dealing with the department of making you sad and permits..
I, for one , am always a fan of your “ ramblings “ !! Such great, usable and applicable information !! That would never be passed on or retained by most that think they’d never need it until they realize they should’ve paid more attention to the details that you convey and share !! As always, much love from Maine ! Take care JC
As always thank you for all your great advice. Your building videos are great help for my builds. Once again thanks Boss for your time and effort in getting your knowledge out to us all. God bless you and Miss Bose always.
Greetings from PEI , I'm not a builder but I appreciate the time you put into the videos and I watch them all. Some twice if I need to retain that information for a build I may attempt. You and Lori are a staple of my off grid living and thank you for all you do
Great Q&A JC. Realize you and Lori are busy with spring planting. Always a treat to see you dropped a video. God bless and stay safe, see you on the next on next video.
I didn't ask any questions, but as always there is always something to learn. Even a tid-bit is worth taking the time to watch the video. Thanks for the info. (JF)
Thank you very much just like always you make good sense I really do appreciate you sharing your tips and stuff I'm learning a lot thank you again very much
Yet Another Excellent Video Brother ! I Absolutely Love All of your videos. I am a Very Proud Patreon Member and Always use your "Amazon Affiliate Link" Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏 ❤ God Bless You all.
Excellent video, Boss. I always enjoy your videos, but every now and then, you outdo yourself, and this is one of them. In this video you've earned even more of my respect and admiration (if that's even possible). God bless you.
Hey J.C. ! I JUST WATCHED VIDEO AND I WAS Thinkin : AS A 35 Yr. Veteran' journeyman Michigan Carpenter : if you used it on the walls : it would offer a layer of EMF RADIATION Protection. ! Like using aluminum Foil to stop Active Denial Radar for Military ( crowd control )
I've done a lot of building, more than I wanted to do, but I much prefer working on something mechanical or fabricating something out of metal. Your building skills are very impressive 👍
I was excited for a building video because I just knew there would be talk of bubble foil Lol thanks for the video until next time God bless and have a great weekend Boss
U got my subscription! Glad to meet you! Simplicity! You made my understanding complete. I'm self taught in everything. I look to others like yourself for information that helps me and mine and I'd like to ty
Boss, another great and informative video. A wealth of knowledge from years of experience! If people are wise they will glean from your years of “experimentation and perfecting!”
@@thebossoftheswamp always keep the ‘pleasure’ in all you both do!! So very important~ Blessings to you both and i always look forward to the next one you post 😊
That bubble foil sure has caught on! Remember when it used to be really cheap?!?! Like polyvinyl….I don’t know what sparked it but that stuff got even more stupid priced than bubble foil!!😖🤣

LOL, "can't have a building projects video without talking about bubble foil." That got a chuckle out of us, for sure!

Been watching u for a long while and u sir are very good at what u do, the best I've ever seen, for cabin life, Be Blessed
A lot of great points boss. So I never thought of. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
We're getting ready to build ourselves a log cabin starting next spring.
I'm absorbing like a sponge all the info I can get and yours is the best by far!

Your T111 at 5/8” thick is a great product. Your building practices are exceptional. Good job Boss.
Boss is the jedi of Bert/Erie explanation. Your a true inspiration, and no one is more deserving of Moose Drool than u.
Thanks for sharing info. Oh, the bug on my screen (your paper😀) at 21:14 got me, I was just a swiping my screen to shew it away...too funny.
I'm going to build a large chicken coop in 2023. This helped me so much!! Thank you!
Thanks, Boss! Trust your building experience implicitly. Hugs and love to all!
so so so happy to see you post another video Boss! Love to hear your words of wisdom always :)
Amen 🙏 to that 🙏🙏🕊
Love the Bubble foil. Great info JC!
Great advise. I tell folks about bubble foil. Some listen some don't. Some make it .some won't. Lol keep them coming buddy

Always great to see you Boss. I'm a learning professional, and I always enjoy how well you teach. I learn so much from you.
Your videos are incredibly instructive. Very much appreciated.
Glad you like them!
That all makes a lot of sense to me boss , right on Keep making saw dust I enjoy watching your videos .
shed roof can also be done by cutting back plywood from ledger at wall, installing ridge vent and flashing.
True. In our area with the snow accumulation, it would be good to built this up a bit.
Another great and informative video. Bless Lori n you stay safe happy build.

Soooo true!!!!!! 🙏😊🕊
I did say that and planned to do so but I'm considering getting off line entirely. Thinking through my next chapter of life.
