Hell yes!! It was me! :D i commented about the windows swap :D thanks man, i am really glad you like it. Also the black windows look great.
Hahaha you emailed me too right??? Send me address for shirt you bad boy!
Keep doing a great job that you're doing glad you're catching your mistakes now instead of later when it's too late 👍💪🙏😊
You can absolutely make your own door 🚪 which will only add to your special cabin build in the woods 🤠👍
Love watching your channel with my boyfriend on Saturday mornings while we drink our coffee!! I hope I’m not over stepping, but I work in an orthopedic clinic/surgery center, and I encountered lots of tennis elbow, lateral epicondylitis. I’m not a doctor, but the physicians I work for often recommend wearing a wrist brace. The area of your elbow that hurts is the extensor bundle, and when you extend your wrist, it continues to strain the area. Wearing a wrist brace (one with a metal bar in it) will limit your wrist extension, thus allowing the areas inflammation to reduce. We also recommend applying Voltaren gel (basically like topical ibuprofen) to the area to further attack the inflammation. I hope this helps you to finish your cabin with less pain! 🤗
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey, you gotta say “sorry” more, it really shows your Canadian blood. 🇨🇦
What??? No dukey den update!!! Great Saturday enjoyment as usual.
If I remember correctly you said you were in Virginia. Langley Air Force Base is on the east coast. Home to the 1st Fighter Wing. F22’s are stationed there. Looks like you are in a training route to test low altitude mountain flying. Really cool actually. Fun fact! This base sent one of their F22’s to shoot down that chinese balloon that floated by last year. I was in from 2009-2014. Still love seeing them things fly by every now and then. I get so excited, too, lol….…thanks for the videos Graham. Always love seeing you in my feed.
Oh that’s awesome!!!!! Do you think that was an F22?
That wasn’t an F22, looked more like an F18
@@TwoAcreDesignsTheres also Naval Air Station Oceana with F 18’s in Virginia Beach. So probably so. Ill have to watch again. Theres definitely a training route there.
@@WoodnessGoodnessafter watching again def an F18. Still cool tho. Good eye TwoAcres.
Great call opening up the window wall. I thought it many times - wish I’d suggested it. It’s going to look even more awesome! Well done! 🇨🇦
❤️❤️❤️
Woodness goodness and window walls are like French fries and a shake, you just gotta keep them together. Elite duo tbh
😂🤣😂🤣😂
That band for your tennis elbow will work great. I used one for my tennis elbow and I no longer have any issues with it. At first I didn't believe it would work, but the pain just went away.
Gosh. All mountain views are a thing of grandeur. YOUR view is exceptionally so. We love watching your show and we're cheering you on Thank you for confirming that odd random thoughts entering my head during deep dive projects is NORMAL. Keep on voicing your authentically weird brain ramblings because it's what makes you so authentic and enjoyable!. It makes us all feel normal. 😁 I stayed at a lovely cabin with a loft. Key to easy movement was a solid ladder made of hand milled wood that had very large treads. Fit my whole shoe length! They used strong galvanized pipe for handles on both sides that stood up about 6". I was able to drag my suitcase up by myself! Closest thing to an actual staircase.
...and... The degree of incline was steep like a ladder but it wasn't bad at all
Haha much love friend! We all got to talk to ourselves once in awhile!
Graham, I posted earlier about the windows and getting them up into place. They make these small electric winches. You could run them off your battery bank. Use super strong glass suction cup handles. Attach cable to handles and hoist windows into position. Of course you would have to mount said winch to the roof joists above the window. Just a thought. They also have long cables to a hand held control for operation.
Also you have to double up on the 2x6 in the middle where that one lonely 2x6 is where your putting the new windows where you were routering
Thank you for the content.
That looks awesome!👍
looking good!
I am envious. Gorgeous cabin.
Get well soon😊
Highlight of my week! Lookin good 🤌🏻
The house front is going to look great!
The new design is going to be awesome
Love you!!!!!!!
looking forward to watching you install the front window wall!!!!
Dude that takes me back. When I lived in Bath Co. The jets buzzed the mountain tops almost daily. So rad 💪
I wasssboutaaaa say! Where is the goodness of woodness 🪵
Super work friend!!! Keep that arm rested
27:24 🛩 I love seeing those fly over too, and I react with the same level of excitement! 😅
They’re getting ready for Biden to sent them to mountainside regions 😉
Totally agree with getting the extra windows upfront!! I thought the same thing your other viewer did about this. Glad you are going that direction!!!!! Glad you are still keeping this real! (sorry about your window mishap)
Sounds like it's time for a mini scaffolding build.
Window views are always worth it!
So glad to see you back at it. The fighter jet was awesome. Your reaction to it reminded me of myself. Like, who wouldn't love to see one of those. I think for the staircase to the loft, you could get one of tjose circular staircase set thingys. Like, put it 'outside' the loft, somewhere in the middle of the edge of the loft.
The two front bottom windows could be doors onto a deck
A spiral staircase would be a good option. Safe for the fam' and looks great. Metal structure with wood steps. Hopefully you can source one for a good price or salvaged/gently used. Keep up the witty bsnter and great content!! Cheers from Toronto.
Cheers!
I’m not even here for the cabin built, I just enjoy spending time with him, as far as watching him talking to himself qualifies as spending time. My crazy aunt used to do it and I liked her, too. Still appreciate the building!
Big difference between him and your crazy aunt.
@@ordinarypete I agree if course. Plus, she lacked a decent camera …
22:44 I am not sure how you people call them but I rememeber they are called goose walk stairs where the treads are halved and you need to start with the same foot every time to get up them. They are a good marriage between space saving (like a ladder) and practicallity (like a regular staircase)
They can be (and should be) a lot steeper and as such are very well suited for a smaller dwelling like yours.
I think you can even make one which is removable like a ladder, though a goose walk ladder/staircase is not very easy to store like a ladder...it is somewhat more bulky...
You can get a 34" exterior door which would be a 36" rough opening. Height is a little low but you can cut down the height of a door, just find the cut specs on the doors. It will say how much you can cut off without getting into problems
Thanks for showing us the first few minutes. I felt bad for you but yeah man, thats life. So relatable though lol which is why i enjoy your videos. If i won the lottery, i would sponsor all your projects man. We appreciate your work and effort!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry about your broken window, everything costs so these days. Glad you could get to the cabin site and get a bit of work done. Slow and sure wins the race!!! Looking forward to next one already.
I had tennis elbow and wore the band like you have on. A chiropractor fixed it. That was at least 10-15 years ago and I have not had trouble since.
This door issue…I love pre hung doors especially exterior, but we need the height! I’m kinda thinking 34” exterior door and try shortening it from the bottom. Threshold might be a pain, I have done it on interior doors for old homes but this one tough.
If you’re taking suggestions, I would put a small ‘spy’ like window (maybe a small round bubble window up in the loft that you could see who’s coming up the path when you’re in the cabin. SCENE SAFETY!
Saturday evening viewing. 🍻👌
Holy Woodness Tenniselbowness baby !!!! Everything is really shaping up and looks terrific. You’re only 20 years younger than me and you complaining like a 70 year old man. Man up and get er done. I’ve seen a retractable staircase that winds up being a good space saver. If I can find it, I will send you the link. Also, with all of that wind up there like another viewer said wind turbine might be the way to go instead of solar. They make nicecircular ones instead of the standard bladed one. I might have to come up there and help you with that. Keep getting after it, brother.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m an old soul. My body is also an old soul.
You have a very nice channel, I like it very much.🤌🏻👍🏼
I dont know if you have the space for a comfortable rise and run but you can make steps up to the loft that double as storage/closet space.
I’ve had tennis elbow. It sucks! It took me 6 months to heal. But then again, I’m much older than you! Take it easy. I see you’re wearing the band, in my opinion that helped the most.
I’m late to watching!!! lol 3am here work has been a b****!!! Sorry about the window boss, keep her goin
Good afternoin 🖐😎👍
Have enjoyed watching the progress on your cabin and it’s too bad that the window was damaged! It shouldn’t take much to get a new glass replaced at a hardware store if the frame was not damaged badly. Take care of the elbow!
Graeme, I have another great idea to add extra work and extra costs 😂
Those 2x6 ties across the ceiling, you could box them up to create fake chunky beams and also use it to run wires and lighting. As for stairs ladder to get up to the loft, I say make storage stairs and the bottom treads make boxes for shoes, snow sleds etc and put them on castors or slides so they can be pushed away and latched so the girls can’t get up unless you unlatch them, you’ll still be able to get down quick if you need too, make it all functional in a tiny space storage is key. Aussie dude Scott Turner @formeindustrious just built a shed house with loft & made storage stairs if you need some inspo. #staypawsitive 🐾 Shell 🇦🇺
After seeing your windows, I wish I had gone with the black instead of white. Yes, the cost definitely adds up quickly for windows.
❤️❤️
Elevator and fireman's pole, 2 good options for the loft :-P
I live at the lake of the ozarks in Missouri, get to see a-10 warthogs fly maneuvers through here weekly. Place is coming along nicely, keep up the good work.
❤️❤️
I was getting a little worried, and also going through some Woodness Goodness withdrawal. Moving right along now. Wrapping by yourself is a pain in the butt. You have a big roll but you could try taking a broomstick or doweling and stick it in the roll, then put a clamp at the bottom. Then you can move the roll up or down, and maintain it's position. More useful when you start going higher. Anyways looking good.
Cabin is looking good. My cabin is also in Va, in the Blue ridge mts. The jets are always flying over my place. They are F15s & will always be in pairs. I believe they fly out of SJAFB. The Blue ridge is a MTR (military training route). Sorry about your window.
❤️❤️❤️ pretty sweet! I love it! Little entertainment as I work!
you could just order a custom door from Lowes or wherever you want just tell them the rough opening and they can get you a door with brick molding and everything ready to just put in. Just will have to wait a few weeks for it. Its not even much more then an off the shelf door just has a lead time. Still enjoying the video just had to say it while its fresh on the brain. Really enjoying this cabin build. Cheers
It’s looking so good. I had wished you had opened up the front window wall originally, but thought it came down to cost, plus you mentioned you were using some free windows and they dictated your openings/size arrangement. So glad you’ve found a way to make it happen.
It really breaks my heart to see you struggle lifting and balancing by yourself. If I lived there, I’d be happy to help you; even at 74 yrs old. I love building things. Can’t Liz find a baby sitter for a day and help you with the cabin sometimes? How about a buddy?
Hope you find relief for your elbow. Ouch. Your biggest fan. ❤Sue
Use 2" galvinized roofing nails to attach the windows to the framing
getting tennis elbow was the excuse I needed to buy a Stiletto Hammer
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dude you and I must be in the same flight path of the fighter jets cuz they screamed over my place too on the Shen. river just south of Luray, was Monday April 15th. Btw much better plan on the windows, I never did understand why you planned to block the kick azz view with that dead space.
Do you ever watch this old house segments on how to do things like flash a window?
24:32 If your locale is that windy and for most of the time (as I suspect it does) a wind turbine would work well... Always good to have two types of horses running for the power you need in the cabin: both a solar and wind horse would be good to have...
Yea a wind turbine would be epic! Think I’ll get one!
@@WoodnessGoodness Do your research... Most people get these Chinesium ones, which are fine but do keep in mind the sellers tend to inflate the properties of the turbines...If you like a 1 kW turbine order a 2 kW one... With turbines bigger is better...for sure...
It's a "work in progress with a little OJT" IMO, you need some type scaffolds for those high heavy windows, not to mention another set of hands. It's looking good.
It's important to keep the balloon part of the strap tight on the tendon. If the strap is easily sliding it's way to loose. Been there, done that. Cabin is really looking good.If it were me, I would reframe the rough opening now for the door. If not you won't be able to install a 36" door. 34" is not the end of the world though.
I was watching something on Netflix a while back and the guy had built a set of stairs in a limited amount of space they have a single centre runner and you cut each one alternately so it has likes like half an s. believe it might have been on big timber
It sounds like we may to call you a Wambulance for that tennis elbow. 😄
Please. I need some sort of somebody who’s licensed to give me boo-boo ointment!
@@WoodnessGoodness , as a Plumber i know the pain you are describing. Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next one.
Easy John he might need to fill out an accident report because he got his feelings hurt.😂
Well here's a like and a comment to help you out G. Poor window. You did better than me. I would have been cursing. But I never had children so I never learned to mitigate my language lol.
I'm not a contractor, but I watch a lot of youtube diy cabin builds. Have you seen the product, I think "hydrogap" which is a vapor barrier but it has an adhesive, so makes the install much easier and you staple it then roll it to adhere. Maybe for the next cabin build...
Also, what's the plan for water and electricity?
Water I will transport or collect rain water I think, and electricity will be solar or wind generated!
If the frame is still good on that window then go to glass place. They can order a replacement double pain window and install it in the frame. Its way cheaper then trashing the window.
Copy that!
Dr. Umstick prescribes 2-caramel/vanillas🍦🍦
Check with local glass man, bet he can replace that broken window pain for less than a new replacement..
If I were in your shoes I'd be hard pressed between mountain views or cabin on the creek.
Best of luck
commenting without watching the entire video but I went through a similar thing with my arm (tennis elbow esque pain) for what seemed like years, in both arms for a time too. I did all the things to try and manage it and the pain including trussing it. I Started upping my vitamin and mineral supplements and doing all the nutritional things, cutting out sugar, swimming, did some yoga stretching and strengthening and I think what did it was getting a new bike. I realised that the pain was gone one day while riding my new bicycle, which has much better suspension in the forks. The old one I guess was just rattling my bones and the vibration must have set it all off in the first instance. (I cycle eveywhere) Anyway, hope that helps. Give the mangesium a go though, it will make a difference. My guess is the vibration of the drills is causing it.
Wow thanks for the info! That’s super helpful! Much love ❤️
30:56 I would put in the same headers as the two side windows...just to make the gable end wall look more (let us say) professional and balanced...
❤️❤️❤️
1:25, saw that coming...
Circular staircase, baby! They can't be that expensive, right? (Ha! Yeah, right.)
🤝
You probably need to cut back on the tennis for a while. ;)
if i thought the same thing about the windows but forgot to comment, do i get a free t-shirt too? lol jk
excercise that elbow for a while if it's to painfull and comeback full on when you're ok..
try and not put so much pressure on yourself, we'll be here waiting hehe
Electric winch elevator or rudimentary teleportation device.
if its tendonitis, or really any soft tissue damage it will help, try therapeutic ultrasound. worked miracles for me. most physio places should have the equipment. when i had tendonitis really bad in my wrist just one session took away 80% of the pain and i didnt need to go back again. tho ive done it on many other injuries and you probably do need more than one treatment. but it helps with healing, pain, and i think it helps remove calcification on tendons or whatever that can make tendonitis bad (read that more than a decade ago...not sure how accurate). whatever it does, it has worked great for me for a number of things. its pretty much just an internal deep tissue massage that helps with blood flow and whatever.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I had the tennis elbow and I started taking a supplement called UMARY and on the second day my pain was gone. It’s a natural anti inflammatory. I have not seen any side effects from it and I have been taking it for about 4 months now. Give it a try. I wouldn’t tell anyone about it if it didn’t work. Oh and they are not sponsoring me at all. Lol
❤️❤️
You were a bit skimpy on the cap nails. Supposed to be around a foot apart in all directions. Specially it says no closer than 6 inches between and no father than 18 so I spaced them a foot apart in all directions. 👍 I have 5 windows to install this week and I got all mine here without breaking any.... 😊
Suffered from the elbow issue as well. If you go to a Chiropractor he can reposition your elbow and alleviate the pain. It worked for me. Worth a try.
Could you not get the broken window re-glazed Graham
You have to peel n stick the whole window including the top you can’t let the barrier paper be loose like that my dude
Good job.....professional or not...looks professional too me..😂
Message the window manufacturer, they'll likely send you a new panel or whole window under warranty for free. I was able to do that for a cheap vinyl Jen weld that I installed and the movable pane cracked.
Epic good call!
17:25 the King of what bro? 😂
Spiral stair
There are a ton of wood ones you can make on site or metal kits. I also found design calculator online to figure out your height and tread sizes.
Big improvement on window wall, well worth the extra cost!!
Are you going to put any lighting in the soffit?
Not sure! Not a bad idea…should probably wire it up at the very least
Why do you need 2 windows in the back, likely safer if there was just one and will still give you a good airflow
What type of siding are you using?
LP smartside
Not sure if this was the case for you and your area, but when the sun is super golden like that, here in Calgary it usually means BC forest fire smoke is in the sky. 😢
Yea I think that’s what the case was. I could smell smoke too.
32 or 34 inch door? 34 is probably special order.
As a guy that wakes up from 'sleeping wrong' with pain, I'd recommend kratom. Not trying to say drugs are the answer, even though it is 4/20, but it does wonders for my 40 year old body. But it is ancient Asian medicine that really works. Do yourself a favor and buy some good reputable organic kratom online, don't buy the gas station grade stuff even though. Love the build, is it inspiring me to get out in the garage and do more woodworking! Cheers!
Honestly I’m open to it! Is it similar to like the “deltas”
Wouldn't it be awesome if the pilot buzzing your cabin was a viewer and recognized the area and were doing it to make you happy?
YES. I will keep building until he gives me a ride!
Well lay them down and strap them down & they wouldn't get broke
What happened to Duke? Has he given up? Don't forget to add the important things! 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
You gotta just bring the window back, And say you didn't notice it was broken
Nah, Woodness Goodness is not the man who would do a douchebag move like that...Woodness Goodness owns his mistakes...
@@koningbolo4700 You think the stores care, They have insurance on everything. If they wanna overcharge, Then it's all good.
