It's great to see that you are giving your children an appreciation of the forest. As you stated in one of your earlier videos, "You protect what you love." They will grow up protecting the forest!
Lovely lady Vanessa you have two beautiful children one with eyes like yours and one with eyes that sparkle blue that's how my son was white hair and blue eyes. Your children are very lucky to have a mother like you willing to spend time with them like you do God bless you Vanessa always you and your children
Beautiful children Vanessa. Your best creations yet (God's design) .You're blessed.
Vanessa has a kind heart. She'd make any man proud.
Vanessa it seems like you are as good a Mother as you are a Bushcrafter! You are truly Blessed!!!
I was curious. Now that you have the cabin...will you be roughing it with shelters anymore? P.S. How do you keep your skin so nice looking? You ALWAYS look Amazing!
many pple with ideas about making your cabin safe. just keep children safe. they are so cute and special. enjoy your evening, Joseph
Hi Vanessa, you have a great project in your very pretty cabin. There's a lot of repair work needed, but it can be fun as well, and part of the magic is the satisfaction you get from doing your own repair work, for just the cost of the materials. The number one priority, as you pointed out, has to be the roof! then the rest can proceed at a more leisurely pace. Not only do you get pleasure from you renovating, but you give us great pleasure to be here with you, and able to interact with you.💖
Vanessa, thank you so much for sharing your experience at the cabin. So lovely to see you with your young children enjoying the outdoor experience. Your cabin is going to be wonderful and I wish you many happy adventures in your beautiful land.
I love how you love your cabin Vanessa, so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your videos!
Once it is sealed from water it would be great for storing food. Really enjoyed watching you with your children.
IDEAS: A power generator is excellent with proper exhaust ventilation. Would a solar panel be practical outside of the cabin for electricity? Remove the soil from around the cellar walls under the floor. Then check if water still collects and floods the cellar floor. Is your roof made of tiles? Are they ceramic or plastic tiles? Do you have a friend to help you make roof repairs. There may be a way to put an elevated cat walk on the roof to prevent roof collapse from body weight. Precious children. Do they have a grandpa? More ideas to come. 🙂
You have done a great job cleaning the cabin for your Beautiful family to be able to enjoy ! I’m very glad you found the cabin so your family can enjoy the great outdoors ! I Love is your channel! God Bless everyone.
Thank you for showing us such a nice video of your little cabin, Vanessa, and it was lovely to see your kids again.
There is a lot of good tips in the comments -- I hope the landlord will help you pay for the repairs since he owns the cabin. --- Thanks for the videos ! !
Hi Vanessa, great video!. When I was growing up we lived in an old house. It was built before ordinary people could afford a fridge. All houses has a cellar that was stay cool all year round. This was the place people kept meat, cheese and other food. Your "cellar" was put in to keep beer and food chilled so that it what I would use it for. I would repair any holes and cracks so that water or animals cannot get into it.
It is great to see your kids playing outside, sadly there is very little of that now, some parents are scared of their children getting dirty or scratched, this is how your kids get a healthy immune system so well done! , Your kids look like they have a fantastic time with Mom out in the forest :-)
Ask the cabin owner if he has extra roofing tiles that may be left over from the original roofing job so that the repairs can be performed with a lesser expense. There may even be some extra roofing tiles being stored underneath the cabin itself!
Vanessa, you truly inspire me! I enjoy every single one of your videos. Plz keep making them. Blessings to you and your beautiful children!
I really like what you are doing to the cabin to make it better. Your two kids are great! The three of you are the best part of the video!
I would build a mini shed away from the cabin. For a generator. Dog house size. Low profile. Have electric. Not wory about carbon monoxide. I would power wash the entire cabin outside. Then stain her dark brown. Awesome place!! Beautiful family also. Kids are adorable. Stay safe out there enjoy the videos. Love from Michigan.
The little cellar needs waterproofing (tanking)
I would not store edibles in there as that will attract creatures. Ideal for drinks in bottles or cans. The roof You definitely need help with fixing. Very quickly.
But you’re making a lovely space for you and the children. Plus family & friends.
I think I would use the cellar for a place to keep items that are valuable or at least items you don’t want to be in plain view. Possibly things that you want to keep out of the reach of the children. As for the wall repair, maybe you can find someone who has salvaged wood left over from renovation project. If you talk to someone from the local lumber yard, they many times know how you can get such material.
If it’s noise from the generator that you’re worried about. Place the generator behind a small wall, such as the one you built from the branches. If you then direct the exhaust away from the wall you will find it to be surprisingly quiet.
Hi Vanessa paint the cellar with Bitumen tar & then line it with a rubber pond liner, hope this helps, ATB Wayne UK.
You need to paint the cellar with a paint that is for concrete basement.
It will hold out the damp water.
You can get a boat bilge pump that has a float on it so if the water comes in it will pump it out. Then you can get a solar panel for the battery so you never lose a charge.
The roof is in need of a professional roofer.
Great vid loved the kids!❤️
I tried to return the email to you but it wouldn’t let me.
I will just say publicly I think your channel is great!!
Thanks
Dan
There is a paint/sealer you can use on the cellar to prevent water from coming in. Hydraulic paint for basements. You can do it yourself. You can take a thick garbage bag in it to use it until is sealed. Good luck Vanessa!
Hello! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy your channel!! Here in Oregon, USA we have mice issues as well. What really works to keep them out is 'steel wool' the mice can't chew thru it and get inside. I stuff it in all the small cracks in my out buildings. Also for your cellar, you can purchase 'flex seal' in an aerosol can and spray it all over the cement surfaces an it becomes waterproof. Hope these ideas help!
Your English is very very good for a second language 😉👍. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
Vanessa, your children are so beautiful!
This made me smile. That is a very tough roof. Plenty good with a little work. Just be sure to do things in a certain order. Don't fix something that you have to take apart to fix something else.
@ 7:15 I see spare roof tiles under the cabin 😊, they can replace the broken ones. Usually they have holes to fasten with nail and mount overlapping. If you can remove the nails, you should be able to remove tiles and replace broken tiles easily. This will get you through the rainy season, until a proper repair of the rotten roof can be done.
You have beautiful children, I bet they have lots of fun there exploring the forest.
Awesome yet again,the cellar can be sealed using chalk,make sure it's expandable type & use it for storage,glad to see more of your children & you sharing your interest in them
Awwww....Vanessa! You have such adorable children! I have a feeling you are a wonderful Mother too.💖💖💖
Two ideas. On the siding outside just paint the new boards brownish grey to match the rest. Idea for the cellar. I would build a box that could be raised and lowered by a pulley system and used as a small cooler for food. You are one hard worker and you are amazing. Good luck.
America needs more women like you!!
As much as I love the look of the old tile roof, I'd be inclined to replace it with a metal roof. It would probably be cheaper than fixing the existing roof and you could more easily shape the metal to fit around that tree next to the cabin (if the property owner won't let you cut it down - it's too close to the cabin!!). Besides, the sound of rain on a metal roof (along with a fire in a wood stove) is so wonderful! I'd want a wood stove also to help keep the moisture level down. Your hard work at the cabin is really paying off! It looks great!
I should hope she is getting reimbursed for all these expensive repairs she is doing.
What a beautiful lady and I love her accent and two beautiful children xx
Hello Vanessa, the cabin in the forest is very comfortable, and I will have a place like this that is unique, also let me tell you that your children are beautiful and very sweet. I admire them, as they like nature, just like mama.
I hope that you and all your beautiful family are very well, I send you a kiss
My Wife and I are from the USA, and we really appreciate your trying to use words we can understand. Very interesting which words you choose to describe things, We love your Channel!.P.S., Please PLEASE send us Angela Merkel!!!
You'll likely need to replace the entire roof if you have moss and mold growing into the wood. Thankfully you did not walk up there, I feel it is structurally weak, and you may have fallen through. If that space under the flooring was used as a cellar, with a little waterproofing it could be one again. If the space is at least 6m deep, the temp at the bottom would be about 10-16C, enough for a cool beverage but I wouldn't store meat or cheese in there unless you place them inside a normal cooler. You also have to be careful about keeping a brush pile of wood so near your home, this is a perfect spot for small rodents or other critters you wouldn't want finding their way into your cabin. Mice love to burrow into wood piles, and having it so close to the cabin only makes it likely they will get in. Great video as always, Vanessa.
6m deep? Are you kidding or did you mean ft?
Okay , it's official I;m jealous you have a seller . WOW ! Great for food storage great for water storage . Emergency anything storage , BEAUTIFUL !
Love the cabin the children seem excited to be there....it' is a place they will remember throughout their lives. To me the cellar will be a excellent place to store many things...perhaps a basket to raise and lower things in and out would be handy. I ❤what you are doing, can't wait for more....❤from Texas.
Do not put the generator in the cellar. Create a box or shelter outside next to the shelter which can provide proper ventilation and security as well. Use the cellar for what it is designed to do. You can seal up the cracks in the concrete/cement then apply a water proof paint or basement sealer on the outside walls of the cellar. This will prevent the ground water from coming into the cellar.
Since the wood to the cellar door/cabin floor is rotten, you will need to replace it. You should consider doing an inspection underneath the floor of the cabin to see if there are any other spots that may need repair/replacement of the floor.
I hope that this helps.
Thank you for sharing you life with the world.
Blessings to you and your family :)
Sincerely,
Alex
Hi Vanessa: Amazing how natural children can be even if a camera is on them. Mastic will make amazing temporary roof repairs . If you run joined ladders over both sides of the roof you can usually stay on them safely to make repairs. My family used such a hole to keep things cool as in a root cellar. Thanks Brian 79
Fix the inside walls of the cellar with cement, seal it properly. attach a aluminum sheets inside wall of the cellar or only cover/lid. Good job
Oh my gosh! Your kids are so so adorable! It’s so awesome you teach them about nature! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to your next videos!
True to form, you employ the euphuism, “mouse excrement” instead of ”mouse poop”. Sehr nett.
Also vanessa i love the cabin i would live in it permanently.
Will you be getting a rental discount on the work you are doing? The cabin looks great due to your hard work. Your children will love it.
To make a permanent seal of the cellar, i would suggest a concrete epoxy sealant, coating the inside liberally, should seal out the water, second: suggest a few cans of expansion foam to coat the outside if you can get to it, at least fill in the cracks near the top. Finally third: make a new inside cover and put a sheat of foam board on to insulate it, if you bring a few plastic containers of frozen water and place inside, it would hold the temperature colder for a few days in the least. Very nice little spot for you to utilize.
You have two lovely children!
They are lucky to have such a great mother. And lucky to have such a lovely place to spend time.
Looking forward to see your cabin develop over the year.
Your kids are so beautiful. Thank you for another great video.
Whatever you use the cellar for, I would suggest painting waterproof sealant on the concrete.
At least then it will remain dry for future use.
Great progress! Roof shingles aren't as bad as I thought either. Camo net may attract hornets, bats, spiders, etc. though. Cellar cleaned with bleach and mice chew through foam so I would seal with metal and drop a couple plastic coolers with lids in to tightly fit and that can be easily removed for access to food/drinks and clean. Bituthene can be bought in sheets and it is a rubbery black thick tacky material that was apparently used ages ago for Noah's Ark) that should be able to be pressed into place to keep the water out. Then a plastic layer so the coolers don't get stuck in there. IMHO off the top of my head anyway....
maybe use the cellar to put in a plastic water tank , where you put the recovered rainwater..maybe insulate it first to make sure that there is no freezing
I love ur accent. And the children’s excitement to be with mommy!
Wild Woman Vanessa👍👍 Working hard at the forest cabin I see😊 Yeah, get some professional help out there with that roof, very important to repair it properly and as soon as possible...rain will be there soon🤔 You can get reclaimed barn wood to repair the outside wall, it will be weathered and look more natural as well as being less expensive👌 The small "cellar" needs a cleaning, a fresh coat of concrete, concrete sealer and a galvanized metal box that fits the size. Use it for storing what you want. Locate the generator outside, never use it indoors. Things are looking good, you're doing a great job😉 Enjoy!
Don't put the generator in the cellar! Very dangerous! Even with the exhaust system going out.
I agree 100%. Very dangerous to run a fuel generator in the cellar. Please do not consider doing this!
Agreed. make a lean to shelter on the outside
please, never put a generator in a celler, even with a pipe outsite. the gases you don,t smel will kill jou
Yes this! Where internal combustion engine generators are concerned you always what to set it up so if there is a failure you will still be safe. In this case if there is an exhaust leak you want the gasses outside of the cabin where they can drift away safely.
@@shadowwarrior5307 Yes and wood can be stored under the lean to so it can stay dry! 😀 Great idea to build a lean to onto the side of the cabin!
I like your idea for the cellar. A fridge . Put your food in a cooler and set it in the cellar. The cooler will keep the mice out of your food.
The cellar could be a place to store prepper supplies in case the need should ever arise - It would be nice if you could power wash the exterior or scrub down the wood so after the repairs and bad wood replaced it would look nice with an exterior protective stain was used to make it all a uniform color ( like a shade of dark brown ) Just some thoughts - I know it is a lot of work.
Do not put the generator in the cellar. It will get too hot and the risk of toxic fumes getting inside the cabin. Build a box bigger than the generator outside the cellar with a few air holes. Drill a hole in the cabin and run the cord through the hole. Put a sealant around the hole you drilled..... Also fix the rafters in the attic as soon as possible. Then you can go on the roof and put a tarp over it till you get the roof fixed. Good Luck Vanessa ❤
Yes I would clean it out,and weather proof it with a cement sealer, but food no drinks yes with caps on them only. Or find a cooler to fit in it and stick in there with a locking lid. Nice cabin.
Die unterbergler bierkellar? Hi Vanessa, once you have waterproofed your unterberglerkellar. The best suggestion is to use it as a cool room to store food and drink. Die kinder will love ginger beer, a very popular soft drink, there are recipes on the web but you must be aware to only allow so much time for the yeast to ferment otherwise the result is burst bottles before putting the bottles in the fridge. It is this which produces the fizz with very little alcohol. As for the mice, they can chew holes in the wood and through domestic electric wiring therefore all your food must be stored in strong containers just like the Americans with their bear proof boxes. You have two lovely children who are so lucky to have such a wonderful mum. Best wishes=John.
You and the kids are adorable. Please do not put the generator in the cellar. Replace the entire roof with metal. Use the cellar for drinks/ caned good small tools. Basic storage. Build a small generator house outside
beautiful children. theyre going to love it there. theyll learn so much. and you, such a beautiful soul :)
find a camping cooler that fits into that space that way your food would be in a cooling container with a tite fitting lid to keep the little critters such as mice out of it great video Vanessa see you on the next one
What a little ham for the camera. Cute.
Vanessa what a blessing ur offsprings are !!!!!
I too think the generator to be a bad thing in the cellar !
Maybe a tin box you can lift in & out for your foods. Or a water proof bag/sack
( Like for backpacking ) you could lower in n out...
Nice reuse of moss from the roof !!!!
Every kid should have a play 🏠 house 😂.
Good luck with your other repairs. Ur very futunate 😀😁😃
Cute kids.I use to bring my mama rabbit poop when i was little.My pockets were full of it.Everyone needs a basement or a cellar.I would want to help you but i live in Texas.Your a good mama.
Looking good vanessa. Great to see you with your kids! After you clean the siding, stain the boards with a dark color and use a clear sealer over the new stain. The roof needs to be taken care of first, one thing at a time.:)
Vanessa - Use the Cellar as Mother Nature's Refrigerator. Here in Michigan, the ground temperature is 50°F [10°C]. I am sure it is at least 10°C down in the Cellar, maybe cooler. Install some rods, to hang and store foods that require refrigeration.
God,.... Has your back!!☺✌👍😉😊☺
The video is great I like what you've done to the cabin and your kids are absolutely hilarious I'm glad that sepp is helping you with that cabin I would not recommend putting a generator in the house though unless you had carbon monoxide detectors and I think there's going to have to be more air flow for the generator not to overheat keep it goin Vanessa
Your cabin looks better with the roof cleaned off and you can see what have to be repaired. I recommend that for your safety and that of your children I would not put a generator inside the cellar, but have it outside with the heat from it being pumped into the house and use the cellar to store supplies in and use it to put other supplies in for an emergency. The netting you put up is nice and helps to hide the cabin, and eventually you will have to replace the boards on the outside so it won't let water in, because the boards are looking bad on the outside now.
Thé cabin is coming along fine. The roof is nice and clean. Take care.
First I watched because of Lily. Then because of hotness. Now I just watch for learning and interest.
Doing a great Job . HARD WORK PAYS OFF ALWAYS
Vanessa good to see you back.The cabin is really shaping up.So now you have a cellar.Place to keep your vegetables ,like they did years ago.Also Vanessa ,to you live near the town of Oberammergau.They have a fair going on I believe.Take care and stay safe.
Your kids look at your camera and are wondering... " We do not see anyone momma, who are you talking to? " Use your cellar to store your roots and seeds of the editble plants you speak about so often. Since it is cool enough to keep them from spoilage... In addition use the celler to keep other things cool like your drinks and other food items. Always love when you have secrets to share with us. As with all things, you will find and do well in your cabin. I envy you to have such a place.... Ich Liebe Dich...
Love your Cabin ! A wonderful way to find peace with nature.. Love your vlogs !
Your kids are lovely.
Enjoy your Black Forest Cabin!
This a fantastic educational bushcraft channel and those amazing video are great too and I enjoy this fantastic channel very much and Vanessa fantastic lady I hope that her channel gets millions of subscribers soon 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 her kid’s are fantastic and coolest kids on planet and I put water in Secret bunker and food too and hygiene things too and I might do bushcarft one day
If you are able to procure a long plank to lay on the roof to distribute your weight you will find it most useful over time. A ladder such as you are using now can also work. We sometimes attach 2 sections at the peak, one on each side of the roof. If the roofing material is not available a patch may be asfixed/attached at the place being repaired. A piece of galvanized screen can be bent in the shape needed and placed over the hole. Then a coating/several coats of "elastomeric" can be applied. Elastomeric can be tinted to match the roofing so take a piece that broke off with you to your paint supplier. Elastomeric is white and tints easily, dries fast and strong. It bonds extremely well to meticulously clean surfaces. You may wish to study up on an asphalt based high tech product called in the US, " Ice and Water Shield". You may also find it listed/called "Bitumen". It is tricky to work with but also has extreme versatility in many applications. It is black and so is something you may use beneath your finished and exposed roof. It is nice to see your accomplishments.
It is wonderful to join you in your excitement with the cabin.
I think your cellar is best to remain as such. All comments by others re the generator have good safety and are valid. The cellar can be lined with metal but many metals will have electrolysis occur in contact with concrete. Aluminum is one of these. I would hesitate to seal with any waterproofing chemical but would instead suggest that a box such as is holding your tools (it appears to be stainless steel) might be ideal as it can be removed for cleaning most easily. Dropping in an ice chest is also an alternative.
I'd say you could use that space as a root cellar.
Potato's ect... rooted vegy's .
Or preserved caned goods.
That even might have been used to keep wild game that was hunted.
Until he returned home.
A cooler or a liner would help to keep thing's stay good in there.
Your doing a fantastic job"
Hug and a smile.
Iwould cover the roof with a tarp like the other viewer mantioned till you get evverything gathered that you need but i would also think about a rain gutter system that wouldsolve a lot of water problems
Hi , the roof now is looking great and clean , the roof tiles that are broken can be easily lifted up and replaced , they look like modern tiles so must be obtainable from a builders merchant store , new tiles can be easily pinned and put into place , the new cladding patches of new wood can be painted in exterior wood paint that can come close to the older wood , it would save using a camouflage net , it would stop people thinking you are trying to hide something.
As others have said put a tarp over your roof and put the moss on the tarp to weigh it done, a rubber lining would most likely get you through, praying for you Vanessa, God bless.
Hallo Vanessa. Might I suggest the following; PLEASE NOTE - (Products suggested by contributors may not be readily available in Germany)
(1) Not having the portable power generator in the cellar. You need immediate and ease of access to the generator should there be any malfunction or servicing. Used in a confined space invites a myriad of potential problems i.e. Carbon monoxide poisoning for starters and the risk of fire. (2) Cellar, once cleaned, around the edge/ lip of entrance, use concrete plaster (or a hydraulic sealant product). Ensure to create a lip extending above the ground flush with inside of the cabin flooring. This will help keep out water coming in from the top. The cellar, line with a anti-mold/ anti-fungus eco-friendly barrier liner paint. That will also waterproof the cellar walls and floor. Your local IKEA or Hornbach store should have this. Inside round the lid you could possibly install 12v (AAA battery), LED strip lighting. Have a one (1") inch thick perspect door custom made so you can see what's going on down there. With a low temperature analog or digital gauge. (3) Roofing Tiles - I see you have a couple of roofing tiles stored under the cabin? Can these be used to replace the broken tiles on the roof? Do you have sufficient tiles to replace the broken ones? After awhile materials get a naturally occuring pertina, "weathering," and so it maybe difficult to source matching replacement tiles. A recycled building demolishing store may have the style of roofing tile. Engaging roofing specialists are your first call. But, we all know how costly these things become. Besides, doing it yourself is much more satisfying with the right advice, tools, enthusiasm and friends volunteering their time. A complete unadulterated inspection survey of the roof. Once you have wood rot established there is no point applying a quick-fix patch-up solution most 'handyman,' suggest. Best advice is to complete a thorough roof inspection, removal of rotten sections, repair and replace. You don't need professional builders to do the work as I am guessing, it is not permitted work and therefore approval is not required by your local municipality? Just sound balanced advice, the right advice, good materials, the right tools for the job, cooperative weather window and a team of helpers who know there way around a carpenter's saw and can swing a hammer etc...
Vanessa - After you repair the cellar, to keep out the water, and, the mice, you can use cutable styrofoam, line the bottom and sides, with it, then, make a cover, for the top, under, the flor piece. It will keep your cooler items, cold, all summer.
Goede winst voor jou chalet: de kelder! Gebruiken als frigo!!
Use the cellar as a fruit cellar and refrigerator to cool food and drinks. Don't put a generator in that space even with a way for exhaust to escape. We have an off grid cabin and use a solar charger to charge a deep cycle battery. The deep cycle battery is connected to an inverter that supplies 110 Vac but in Deutchland, you can probably get an inverter for your voltage. We also use a small 800 Watt 2-cycle generator to charge the battery and supply power in the day. At nigh we switch to the battery and inverter. It works great!

Hey Vanessa , the cabin is really shaping up great,. please do not put generator in an enclosed area, its Dangerous, but it wold be a superb fridge , once it is completely sealed with, a waterproof based cement product and then ceramic tile it , the children may enjoy colouring some white tiles and then kiln them to dry off. another project the children and yourself could do, is making miniature moss gardens in small wooden trays , they could divide different mosses with colourful stones or pine cones/wood etc. as they love decorating the cabin .. ATVB To you and yours. … oh and a great vid too ,thanks for sharing.
The cellar looks to be a good habitat for spiders. :)
nice work on roof !! plus you found a useful way to recycle the moss 😀
i agree with Rick and the others about NOT putting the generator into that cellar !!!
to many concerns. as far as food goes, maybe u could find a rack that u could lift in and out to put ur food things on ??? or make ur own rack witk wood and cordage ??
all is coming along very nice Vanessa !!!!
Great video love the net idea. Don't think the generator inside is a good idea even if ventilated. Keep thinking though you always seem to come around to the best solution.
Put all the haters in the Celler Nessy, You need help ? Lol
Your children are fantastic.
Awww, cute babies
If at all possible, you need to grade the soil away from your cabin, that way when the rain comes the water will run away from your cabin. In Canada, cabins have the same cellars in them.
Vanessa that is a fine root cellar for vegetables because is geothermal. A 1/4 hp portable submersible sump pump hooked to a garden hose will do well in the cellar too if there is problem with high water.
About the cellar I recommend for the floor of cellar you get wooden pellets that they give away free at some business or stores that get supplies on them ! they are built out of hard wood like Oak or Maple !!🤩👍 they are usually 4ft by 4ft ! Place them on the floor of Cellar right in the middle of small room . Stack them as high as you need to stay out of the summer water that comes in Cellar ? Then put up shelving on three of the walls for food storage . As for the new wood on out side of cabin get some used paint in olive green &earth brown & some rust reddish paint !!!sometimes thrift stores or garage sales pick up for A couple dollars . Then get some cheap brushes 3 of them & Camouflage the new wood smudging on with brushes . This will blend in with the forest !!!👍🇺🇸❤️🧑🏻🎨 Robert from Pittsburg .🧙🏻♀️
You are so amazing. You work so hard at what you do. You give a lot of information. You need to seal that cellar.But it is a beautiful cabin. great videos. Good Luck.
