So glad you guys have uploaded. It’s been such a depressing week in the news and it’s nice to escape physically and mentally from the chaos going on around us.
Glad we can give you a little break from the world right now ❤
For most people watching, it's a case of "Wow, how small is that lik' cabin going to be?"
But, for guys, coming from the caravan it's more like "Wow, how big is this absolute mansion of a cabin?" 😊
I also breathed a sigh of relief when the window went in without any issues! 😂
Love this! Every time we go in the cabin we find it funny how big it is and how we can no longer touch the ceiling like we can in the caravan 😂😂
I had those exact 3 thoughts!
Surely you need some air circulation, especially in the roof space between the insulation and the roof, to prevent sweating and mold built up.
Yes bad idea closing off the eaves, should have left open, added insulation in between rafters then added soffit vents for airflow, as it’s a cold roof this will go mouldy within weekend. The damp weather.
I agree, that is a serious mistake, it will quickly cause moisture inside
I love seeing that happy dog at the end!! Your window is gorgeous!
Honestly love when Maggie rolls on the grass like that, the sweetest, funny girl! 🥰
Fast forward 5 years and imaging your views from that amazing window. Exciting!
We can't wait to see where we will be in 5 years time 🧡
This is going to be the best built cabin in Wales if not the world!! The care that you give to each task is so admirable.
My thoughts exactly Kaycee625! 😃👍
haha we hope so 🧡
Finally, your picture window is installed! It is absolutely beautiful! Getting your cabin dryed in is awesome, air-tight. Thanks to your friends and babies to keep Maggie company was a God send.❤ You both are getting closer to calling it home❤ I am excited for the both of you! This journey is amazing, more good things to come. Thank you both for sharing ❤
Thanks Rhona 🧡 Maggie has so much fun having friends to play with on the land, it was so nice seeing them all enjoy the space 🧡
It’s all coming together, felt so nervous for you guys when you were installing the window but it is beautiful 👏 -G,x
Cannot believe it's in!!! ahhhh! Excited for you guys to come and stay once we are ready for guests! xx
I'm sat here welling up that it's finally in and this has absolutely nothing to do with me! Well done guys, the effort the window took, will pay you back a thousand times!
Oh thank you Ade ❤ can't believe we are at this stage! Thank you so much for the love and support!
Hi my two lovely’s what a change that window looks beautiful you will many a good time just sitting there watching the birds and world go by you have done a wonderful job and the best of luck with the rest. You both take care of yourself and stay safe.⭐️⭐️👍👍👌🏆
Can't wait to enjoy our first sunrise from that window 🧡
The way you managed this as a team effort was awesome and it looks fantastic, such good progress, it's really coming along. You two are so talented and so amazing.❤
Thank you! Great team effort 🧡
Congratulations on hitting the dried in milestone. You've come far in a short space of time.
Thanks so much Smithy, can't actually believe we are at this stage!
I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must of been in the crazy heat we've had recently. But my goodness I bet the struggle was worth it! Next big goal ticked off :)
Thanks Josh. The one time of year our outdoor shower is the best thing ever 😂
@@CampOutWest aha I bet! 😂
Hi to you lovely couple little by little you will be living in this lovely space well done
Crazy heat. When did that happen then?
Immediately click off what I was watching as soon as the notification popped up!! Looking forward to seeing this window go in!!
Thanks Kirsty! Hope you enjoy 🥰 Can't believe the window is in!!
Insulation helps keep you cool in summer as well as warm in winter.
We found this out today, it was over 30 degrees C inside today, roll on insulation and mechanical ventilation. 😀
Every completion is what living is all about. A long string of feelings that keep us going. :)
Couldn't have said it better 🧡
Well done all of you. Your hearts must have been in your mouths, and what careful preparation by John. You will have a wonderful view. Best wishes from Susan in East Yorkshire.
Thanks Susan, can't believe we got it in! 🧡
Wow what a Milestone, Weather tight, well done guys. Loving the channel and enjoy watching your progress.
Thanks so much Spencer!
O wow! Look at you guys go!!!! Seeing those last bits go in after the massive window must be so satisfying! It got to 26' inside today, so I wish I was up your hill with a breeze! Keep hydrated! 💚🇬🇧
Inside the cabin was over 30 degrees C today, Barely any wind, definitely need to get some insulation in there and our mechanical ventilation.
@@CampOutWest you really do! 💚
Feel like we hit a milestone getting thebig window, congratulations to you both ❤
Thanks Rick! 🧡
I’m having a break from housework. The chooks are looking in, watching People Tv. I’m doing my embroidery watching you in the background, but I can’t concentrate as I find this fascinating, as usual. I find all “making” videos great watching. It was so great that your friends came to help - the dogs hooning around was lovely. It’s getting closer and closer to a home…. 😊❤😊
thank you 🧡 hope you enjoyed your little break
Fabulous work on the window 🎉❤
Thanks so much Ann! 🧡
That is AWESOME! The window looks GORGEOUS. Well done, you two (and helpers)!
Thank you! So happy with how the windows turned out!
The window is amazing..place is really taking shape now❤
Can't believe it's in! 🧡
I'm cheering you on all thru this post. Reminds me of me in my younger years. Great stuff guys ❤xxx
Thanks Sarah 🧡🧡
Wow! That window installation was impressive, and it's so gorgeous. Congrats on it all, especially getting the cabin completely dried in.
Thanks Jeanne, so excited! 🧡
It looks SO good! Glad we could help (and get first look at it!) The girls miss Maggie already 🐶🧡
Couldn't have done it without you 🧡 Thanks guys! xx
That WINDOW!! 😍😍😍😍 My word what a beautiful view you’ll have every day through that. It’s a work of art!! Enjoy every second! ❤❤
Can't believe it's in!
Been absolutely dying for this episode! Brilliant, I adore you two (and Maggie)❤
Hope it was worth the wait 🧡
Hello Emilie: and Jon: a weather tight home. That is a very big mile stone and some thing you two should be very proud of. Also the fact that In the end the biggest suprise is no large morgage to deal with. This is another item both of you should be very proud off. I am sure will will enjoy your new home and I am sure maggie will also. Have fun and enjoy what you two have accomplish on your own.
Thanks Phil 🧡 Can't believe we are lucky enough to get to build our mortgage free life 🧡
This is what build memories are made of…☮️
what a moment 🧡
The window looks amazing but you're going to be getting bird strikes if you don't put some stickers on. Our back glass door & windows I've had to put stickers from the RSPB up as so many birds flew into the glass. Heartbreaking seeing birds flying into the reflection they see of trees etc as usually they die even if they seem to recover but easily remedied.
The stickers I chose are the swifts & swallows & we haven't had a single strike since putting them on.
Thanks for the suggestion. Jon's parents have similar issues and their windows aren't even big.
You guys are crushing it like always!
Thank you 🧡
Aaah it's all coming together! I love the view from the new window, looking out into the trees/foliage is so peaceful - it is going to be SO cosy 😍
We are so excited!
Great teamwork guys! Loved seeing the dogs invade your space through the new entrance. 🐶
we loved having all the pups here! 🧡
The window looks great. Maggie is loving her life ❤
Loved seeing Maggie running around with the other girls 🧡
Amazing, beautiful awesome job 👍 guys ❤️
Thanks so much 🧡
What a fantastic job, and what a view. My admiration for you grows with every film. The dogs had a lovely time 😊 Chris.
Thanks Chris ☺️ having all the doggos here was so fun!
The window looks amazing, but how sweaty were my palms hoping you were not going to drop it!!! Phew 😂🎉
So glad nothing went wrong!
The cabin is looking stunning! ❤
The windows have changed it so much!
Wow guys, that was worse than a scary movie, you had me on the edge of my seat during the window installation 😬. How great that Johnny & Demi were visiting, and on hand to help with the installation, Johnny, like Jon, seemed very capable. Looks great, well done. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I watched you towing the window. Paul, Mayals 👍👍🏡🏡
so happy we had their help 🧡 can't believe the windows are in!
I love seeing your channel pop up. You work so hard, learning new things.
Keep the cardboard for composting. The blue tarp(.?) can be used as a lift or cover for compost bins. Check the Charles Dowding channel to see his smaller compost arrangement. Really enjoy seeing your progress, with the garden as well as the house. NLxxx
Thanks for the tip Norma, we love CD! 🧡
OH MY GOODNESS! How far you've come! I love love love how amazing it looks and so proud of you both. Never thought I'd say that about people I don't know. Great job
Thank you so much Kristin 🧡
You two are smashing it out the park. Keep enjoying the process. You should be very proud of your achievements. Keep moving forward ❤
Thanks so much guys!
The windows look amazing 🇬🇧😊
Can't believe they are in! 🧡
That end window looks amazing great job guys 👍
Thanks Steve! So happy with it!
It was a big moment to see that beautiful window on its place and I was waiting for it.
Absolutely stunning.
Thanks for sharing and wonderful job.
Thank you so much!
Excellent job John well done. Tony 🇬🇧
Cheers Tony 🧡
Well done! One step closer…to the next step. The dogs are precious!
Thank you! Can't wait to get the exterior cladding on, that will really transform the building!
Outstanding work guys. At the beginning you said something along the lines of ‘let’s crack on with the window’. I was hoping that this the was an unintentional pun, thankfully it was! Phew 👍 That picture window looks amazing. Wow! Loving your work 👏👏👌👍
can't believe we got it in in one peice 🤣
Great progress and what a stunning picture window! Hang in there, you're nearly there!
Thank you! Can't believe it's in!
Looking amazing guys!
Thank you 🧡
Wonderful progress! By the way Emelie, I really like the outfit you were wearing while installing the window.
thank you! It was a recent find on Vinted for £6! I was so excited!
Man I did the c to f converter & what I wouldn't give to have your weather... Today in Yuma Arizona, we'll be 42.22 c! That is a huge cool down from last week when we were 46.11c with a feels like temperature of 49.44. I basically live in hell during the summer & heaven during the winter!! Great video guys!
Great milestone.
such a great feeling!
You guys should give yourselves the biggest pat on the back.. l9ve watching your videos, you don't waffle on you say exactly what your doing and we love it.. love doggie too x
Thanks Claire 🧡 thanks for the support!
You’ve come along long way guys, I really look forward to watching your videos, absolutely stunning job so far. See you in the next one 👍
Thanks David! Excited to show you what we've been up to this week
Congrats, this is certainly a milestone! Hope to see you finish the cabin soon so that you can give your attention to the terrain, glamping tents etc.
Thank you! Can't wait to get it finished and then start on the campsite!
I've watched your videos almost from the beginning. So admire your teamwork and skills. Can't wait to see the finishing touches!
Thanks so much Norman!
wow. Almost like you knew what you were doing. 😄 Looks very nice.
So happy they're in!
Well done, that’s quite an achievement now to get it all watertight weatherproof
Thanks Ron!
Good job done. 😊😊
Cheers Marika!
Congrats on getting the window in and the home air tight! I don’t know if anybody else has mentioned this…but you can get these little three wheel dollies that you can put under heavy items and wheel them. They are not expensive and super super handy to have.
Thanks for the tip, we will have a look into them!
Interesting video thanks for sharing.Keep up the great work both.looking forward to the next video 👍🏻
Thanks so much Garry!
Great achievement to you all, great video, Emily and John
Thanks so much Andy!
You've come far in a short space of time. Look at that all dried in now and the window was a very good idea and the views that you will get will be amazing. Have a lovely day.
Can't wait to wake up to our first sunrise there 🧡
Water and airtight is a huge milestone! Congrats guys!
thanks so much!
It was scary watching you move and install your huge, heavy window. Bet it was a relief to get that in. Well done.
So pleased it's in now haha! Thanks Lottie 🧡
Hi Jon, Emilie and Maggie. What a beautiful window to frame the view of the landscape and nature.
I can just picture the log burner flickering and the Christmas tree lights reflecting on the window with Maggie resting in her bed. All of you in the warm and dry for Christmas. Maggie was having the time of her life with the other dogs. Happy times! Dave Birmingham
I love the window, what a journey you guys have been on to get the window in. Looks amazing!!!
Thank you, so worth the wait 🧡
Fantastic work
Your doing a great job
Good luck to you 👍👍👍
Thanks so much James!
I'm really impressed to see your work on the cabin. You have worked so hard and it looks absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much!
Another huge milestone completed!! Window looks savage, I bet ye stayed in there for a night now that it’s watertight. Looking forward to the next episode….
John, honestly can't wait for our first night in there!
What a great window! And nice to be in and all snug. ❤
Thanks Polly, we love it so much!
Wonderful job ! Best £400 you ever spent 🤩
We agree 😀
So cool be subbed from the beginning and seeing how massive the cabin is inside. I'm sure the decoration will be so cool.
Thanks so much for following us on this journey Trev! 🧡
What a beautiful picture window i can just see a corner sofa so you can see the view ❤
We had planned to have a bed in front of it, we thought the view at sunrise and sunset would be lovely 🧡
@CampOutWest wonderful idea especially with a sunrise or sunset
Great work both and the Window looks ace
Thanks so much Gary, so pleased. Can't believe they are all in!
wow, that window is fantastic. you guys should be very proud of what you have achieved.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing once again guys. You may feel like it's taken ages to get where you are but you've achieved a lot in a short space of time, with 3 businesses to run too. It's going to be amazing when finished. It's already awesome. I've learned a lot about the process. Love to Maggie. X
Thanks so much Lou 🧡 so happy to be at this stage!
Always great when the dogs try to be helpful 😂😂
They were so funny 🤣
WOW, The window is amazing...I knew it would be, but to actually see it installed..Lots of 🌞😎..😁 So glad your friends could help install..Thank you...❤❤
We couldn't have done it without them 🧡 can't believe how much it has transformed the space
Having watch many video of professional people putting windows in with all their equipment I think you all did very well with yours congratulations 😊😊
Now it's becoming a Home.
🧡🧡 Can't believe it's ours
Looks awesome! But I had to laugh when you said it’s really hot at 23-24 degrees. I’m in Australia it’s winter and I find that freezing lol.
haha! Can't believe that is your winter temp, that's a rare high temp for us 🤣
@@CampOutWest our highs are 42-44C or 45 one day last summer.
Awesome job. Really exciting to see the progress so far. Looking forward to being able to come and camp with you when your ready for customers!!
Thank you David 🧡 can't wait until we are ready to open up to guests
As always, such a good watch.wow, that window😮
can't believe it's our window!
Oh wow that window is incredible .so glad it went in without a hitch
so happy it's in!
OMG! Yes #CampOutWest my week just feels empty with out you two lol I'm such a big freak, I love a good cleaning montage
hahah you are the best! 🧡 oh I know love watching all those cleaning videos on tiktok! So relaxing haha
Well done you guys. It's looking really good. Waiting for the next episode.
Thanks Nicky, can't believe it's in 🥳
Your wee home is coming on a treat, we really enjoyed Bala the only down side is was the weather 😖 but that didn’t bother us xx
Thankyou! ah we loved Bala when we went!
That large window is a game changer I love it, I can just imagine a log turner near by chilling in his and hers arms chairs ( like up) and a water feature outside wild flowers and bird box to attract local wild life. Cher bliss well done guys your winning. 🎉
Thanks so much Sally. Can't believe it's in! It was worth the wait 🙌
That window is a beast.. amazed you got it installed without too much trouble. It will be so lovely to sit and watch the world outside. Another great video ..thank you for sharing your world with us.❤
Thank you Gail 🥰 can't believe it's in and it's actually ours!
I remember when you had a few second hand tools, look at you now - Bob the builder! Brilliant progress guys!
so pleased, these tools have made things so much easier 👌
Oh wow you guys, I am so excited for you both. Moving in is so much closer now. I can't wait to see the finished house and watching you turn it into a home.
Thanks Linda! Such a pinch me moment! 🎉
I'm am so freaking happy for you both!! What a huge accomplishment!
Thanks Dara, can' believe the last window is in!
Great progress, I expect you are feeling really pleased with your efforts.
Such a pinch me moment 🧡
Looks like Maggie may have competitive breeding. She went on-point in a video before and in this video is eager to retrieve. A champion spirit for sure !
Love this comment Jeff 🥰🥰 both Maggie's parents were show winners, so she comes from a very talented family before us ❤️
@@CampOutWest Breeding shows through
Sealed! A major milestone - congratulations!
Finally 🎉
Love that window!!! I see a lot of Maggie nose prints and a beautiful garden 💕💕💕
Love the boop marks 🥰🥰
