Really like how the cabin is coming along, great work. Has anyone suggested creating a couple of bunk beds on each side of the second floor. it might be a good idea.
Chris. Just a quick observation or two about the wood-burner. Going by the Ontario building code 1) the stove and chimney should be at a minimum - 16" away from any combustible material. That's all the way to the outside through the roof, not just inside the cabin.and also the floor. Cement board would work well on the wall, as well as under that steel plate, which will conduct heat through it to the wood floor as if you had built the fire on it instead of in the stove and it is not expensive, comes in 3' x 5' x 1/2" size for about $14.0 2)Not to sure, because I could not see too well the install of the chimney, but it looks as if the pipes are in upside-down. - i.e. the 'female end' should be at the bottom of the join and the 'male end' goes in from above the join. This is so that any liquid from either rain or condensation from the burning wood, when it runs down the inside of the pipe, will not run out onto the floor or the top of the stove. Don't worry about the smoke coming out the joint . Trust me it won't. 3) I know you probably will not be inspected by any authority regarding the cabin build, and it's use, but just for you own safety regardless of code requirements, a smoke detector should be one of your priority purchases. Fumes from a wood-burner can kill very quickly, especially when you sleeping. Stay safe, and enjoy that beautiful woodland wonderment.
I started watching your full cabin building episode that was over 3 hours and I was totally addicted! What a fantastic job you guys did on that cabin! It was great to watch every nail and screw go into it and watch it become what it is. Both you, Chris and your brother Kevin have to be two of the nicest guys on the planet. But that doesn't surprise me coming from a wonderful country like Canada.
One day your family is gonna look back and see how many lessons and how much living got to happen because you involved them with this cabin. You are a great leader for your family. Your son is becoming a very respectable young man. Kudos my man
Hi guys just watched the 3 hr cabin build and first overnight, awsome job some people go to their boat or cottage at a lake or a seasonal trailer but I think having one in the middle of the woods be experience listening to the wildlife around you and being there for your sons practices and games mean alot our mother and father did it when we were his age look forward watching more.
Just a note - Wood burning stoves should have the exhaust stack fitted with the upper section going "into" the lower section to prevent creosote from leaking around the fittings when stove is shut down and creating a mess on the pipe. The hot exhaust gasses will naturally flow upward and not create a problem with gasses getting into the cabin. It appears from the video that the upper was fitted over the lower section...
I like that you dropped the loft floor a foot to get you more head space. My stove requires 18” from the drywall. I mounted a steel roof panel On the wall behind the stove with a 1” gap to wall. Works great and moved stove to within 16” no problem.
Some children won't ever want to hunt and that's ok too!! He can always trade for food...or barter. Love that your open to them being who they want to be. Good job dad
In Kentucky in the olden times, kiddos would sleep in that crawlspace in the hot humid summers to get some relief. It might be the only cool spot oter than the springhouse or root cellar. Every once in awhile on old homestead sites, you will happen upon a "rockpile", that was generated as the farm kids would help their dad haul ones that turned up during plowin'. Then from the rockpile, then this was aggregate for lots of masonry jobs. Imagine the rocky Scotland and Ireland that then resulted in endless amounts that became rockwalls on the property lines. Kids had a ton of chores way back when..
Looking like a railing is the way to go. Don't know if you've seen them before but in small structures raisable stairways are really efficient and look cool also. You can do them out of wood or rustic iron. The pulley system is simple and you can get a good angle rather than a straight ladder type stairway. You can even do it where the hand rail collapses when you raise it. If you use something heavy as a counter weight they go up and down so easy a child can even do it. Just an idea I thought you might consider.
I think Holden is making up in head hair what he can't yet grow in face hair. Careful that you don't lose him under there. It's good to see you spending time with your family. I know with all you have on your plate that it can't be easy to keep everything balanced. Your hard work does not go unappreciated, sir.
I would have put some fire proofing between the steel plate and the vinyl flooring... the steel plate I feel is no different then having the metal stove directly on the floor... they are both metal???
My stove has 2n a half inches of concrete and three quarters in flagstone under it on my wooden floor, and when you burn the right hardwood with the stove filled... That floor in front of the stove gets so hot you can't stand bare foot on the wood floor in front of it. I think that steel plate could be a fire hazard
@@raymondhuber6306 Exactly... I'm no expert by all means. But I remember my grandmother had an old house out in the country in Ontario when I was a kid and they used an old cast iron wood burning stove year round, I remember many relatives getting burns... but most of all I remember the stove had to be placed on a steel plate on top of a hearth stone and with stone backing. Basically it had to have the majority of a fire place and chimney built around it to to make it safer.... and even then the wood floors would get so hot you could not go near the wood stove without footwear.
That is a nice cabin you all have and it gives you all the opportunity to come to it and stay for awhile and enjoy the outdoor life. That heater is good to heat the cabin and also cook some food on as well in the cold months when you can't cook outside. There is a nice sleep system you all have there and the kids have something to do at night by having their books to read and I noticed the solar panel you all have which can charge your phones and let you watch television during the day. I hope you all have a can to place on the heater to put moisture back into the air since you will notice the air getting so dry until you feel like you can barely breathe.
Hi, new to the channel. Nice cabin. Love the circle window. Add a water pot on top of the stove for moisture overnight. I will definitely watch the build. Lovely family and you are a great dad.
The cabin looks cozy and homey. The loft needs to put a railing so that the kids will not fall down. They are wonderful family and his brother with the dog is he[pful and friendly. That dog is cute and adorable. God bless you guys and be safe.
Smart guy practicing with the axe building up his strength/skill he was displaying good form. At the age of 10 he is safe/careful that shows he is a smart guy.
Just Watched the whole series in one hit from the build to the first night out with your family what you have achieved is amazing mate you should be so proud of yourself, your brother and you family. windowfitter UK
Just the plate steel will be fine by itself. The only reason people use them is so sparks and coals that fall out dont burn the wood floor. Stove should be 36 inches from the wall though. Unless you put some kind of protection behind it too.
Inside main door. Mayb find a piece of leather cowhide cut to size square to fit over boards so to eliminate drafts But overall the Cabin build was and OUTSTANDING JOB. Very informative and educational. Love watching your channel.
I really enjoyed watching your family get to enjoy the cabin first! Your son is really great and will taught by the wooded Beardsman dad! Love the channel
Very nice, but you better put fire board on the walls behind the stove. Have a good fire extinguisher and good first aid kit in case of an burn or axe accident.
Wow your such a good dad, doing so much for your child, encouraging him to try different things, I'm kinda jealous, an I'm 53 . Anyway love the series, an I'm glad Kevin's here again, he's got such a great sense of humour, any idea when you an Jeremy will be doing something, ie fishing or hunting an gathering trips, you guys are so good , could watch you guys till the cows come home, anyway Chris your doing a great job love the channel.
Oh the 3/16 steel floor is a good idea but it will conduct heat and melt your flooring Need possibly a fire resistant material beneath the steel or flat stones to raise the plate up creating a clearance for heat to dissipate. Just a thought
Now that’s a nice cozy cabin sir. Well done. Nothing better than having some alone time with the family in a cabin - in one you built with your family. We’re the lucky ones eh?
An oldie advisory: If it gets too hot and dry..in the cabin..because of the stove.. Put a kettle (spare kettle or pot) with water n let it steam..without opening the door or windows..the temp inside will be OK. Hope ur Mrs enjoyed her time at ur hideaway cabin. Stay safe..God bless
Have you thought about a Futon mattress instead of cots? You may be able to find one to span the entire loft and they can be folded out of the way when you need floor space.
Can always get some paver stones for under the stove plate. Build a two piece ladder and devise a pulley system to pull it up out of the way. And rub some oil on that table.
Have you thought about a hand strung cargo net to strech the open space of the loft? Kid absolutely love it, can be used for sleeping and lounging or even odds n ends storage, as well as negating the need for a pony rail. Just a though.
A good way to get good overnight heat is to put a thermal mass stack of red bricks behind the stove about 2 inches, 4X4 square and 3 feet tall. ... Or a metal water tank.
Okay, so my house is an old Railway house from around 1908, give or take. it has hardwood floors throughout, except in the pantry, the bathroom and the stoeps. However, in the kitchen they poured a concrete slab in the corner to put the stove on. With that in mind, I wonder if it would be an idea to put down some terracotta or some such under that metal plate?
1/2 inch of Micore, or Durock under that sheet metal will give you R 2.5 or so, make it 1 inch and you shouldn't have any concerns with thermal protection with your leg stove.
Luxury!.. off-grid cabin with all the amenities you would ever need to be comfortable. Lol 😂😂😂😂 The rugged wooded beardsman is toughing it out in the wilderness ooohh! All these outdoor adventurous manly men.... Seriously all these woodsmen vids. are to funny! 😂
Hey buddy you should put up a railing system for the kids for safety reasons. Especially if your niece is going to be there a lot and also Holden so he dont accidentally fall off there in the middle of the night trying to go to the bathroom or while sleeping. It's really simple to make a railing for that plus it will add a sense of security and closure to the area.
Need thermal stones under the fire place to be sure, there's no code in the woods. I'd put patio stones on top on the steel plate, the gaps act as insulation to the heat, so none will pass because as you said heat rises.
Better safe than sorry! I am in your boat as well. I have a feeling that flooring is not going to stand up to the heat if they get a good fire going constantly for the winter time.

Congratulations man 🤯
You should make a handrail and put something together so you can watch movies easier
Your son seems like he’s a little you. So cool how he digs hanging out with you and your wife.
Really like how the cabin is coming along, great work. Has anyone suggested creating a couple of bunk beds on each side of the second floor. it might be a good idea.
I think a couple of sleep mats would work really well, or even just mattresses on the floor!
Chris.

Should mount cement board on the wall behind the stove.
Yes, our wood stove has something like that.
I can't understand how anyone could not like this family and cabin project.
They are alone and miserable
@@MyRockHoMama Wow, that is sure not the way it looks to me. I suppose it is all about perspective.
shannon templeton I’m not talking about the couple in the video
I’m talking about the haters downvoting the video as you spoke about
@@MyRockHoMama Oh yes, I see what you mean. Sad for them.
You guys are so inspiring. What a wonderful experience for your kids. They'll grow up as grounded humans.
One day your family is gonna look back and see how many lessons and how much living got to happen because you involved them with this cabin. You are a great leader for your family. Your son is becoming a very respectable young man. Kudos my man
Nice children. The little girl is precious. Lovely wife. Great son and can't forget the great brother. All in all a great family.
One awesome Canadian
Some of the greatest memories I have of my childhood are camping with my dad at our tiny 12x12 cabin. Awesome job man.
Your brother really is the MVP on this cabin build man. Awesome work I can't say enough good things about this Chanel
channel. (Chanel is a perfume brand.)
Hi guys just watched the 3 hr cabin build and first overnight, awsome job some people go to their boat or cottage at a lake or a seasonal trailer but I think having one in the middle of the woods be experience listening to the wildlife around you and being there for your sons practices and games mean alot our mother and father did it when we were his age look forward watching more.

Awesome job your an amazing father keep your videos coming plz
Reminds me of our young children growing up ..
camping and enjoying the outdoors.
Now, they have families of their own. Enjoy ❕
Some children won't ever want to hunt and that's ok too!! He can always trade for food...or barter.
Love that your open to them being who they want to be. Good job dad
Lol or maybe he can sell chicken down at the market like ma and pa
And yes you guys have done a great job on the cabin.

Your son had the Guelph Gryphons hat. I love seeing glimpses of things I recognize from Ontario!

Hey, you need a eco fan! Starts from the stoves heat and moves a lot of air... mixing the hot and cold air so the temp gets even, ish...
Or two.
I watched y’all build the whole cabin. It’s alright. Mighty nice. What a great place for the family to get together.

You actually sound like a lovely Canadian person. The work you did on your cabin is just the lovest.

I have seen them use tile under wood stove...but metal plate looks nice..great looking inside with walls finished
Your son is a lucky kid to have a father that wants to do all you do for him.
Great video and a wonderful family....Life is all about choices. You are on the right track Mister.
Inside main door. Mayb find a piece of leather cowhide cut to size square to fit over boards so to eliminate drafts But overall the Cabin build was and OUTSTANDING JOB. Very informative and educational. Love watching your channel.
Not to get all mushy but these guys are one of the nicest families I know. (I used to be Holden’s caregiver when he was little)
Thanks for stopping in!!!

Might I suggest building a ladder from cut trees/ logs. Would look great. A family member did that in their little cabin and it looks very cool.
Dont you need to put something on the walls to protect from heating up and starting fire?
Yes.
Definitely need to install a barrier behind stove on wall to be safe.
Tell em safety Sally.
Mostly to deflect the heat out from the corner walls
James yup even if it's old barn tin.
@William Grim I know
You need to insulate between the plate and the vinyl (or laminate) floor underneath or it could melt.
Oh the 3/16 steel floor is a good idea but it will conduct heat and melt your flooring Need possibly a fire resistant material beneath the steel or flat stones to raise the plate up creating a clearance for heat to dissipate. Just a thought
Love the lifestyle, very relaxing when you choose to. Love the woods, but that cabin…man!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Family first, no worries about videos, we'll wait.
Lovely little cabin... very cosy, looks like it will hold up well, well into the winter. Looking forward to more over nights...
Cabin is Looking Great 👍!!!
Now that’s a nice cozy cabin sir. Well done. Nothing better than having some alone time with the family in a cabin - in one you built with your family. We’re the lucky ones eh?
Cabin looks great! And yes I think I would put some type of handrail up.
Good fun
Full stop! I like your family. I hope y'all make many memories at the cabin. Great video!
Thanks Rhonda!
Thanks for another great video WB.
you should put ceramic tile on top of the steel plate between stove that will keep the heat from damaging the floor
Try the Aluminum plate. It reflects the heat perfectly. It is much cooler versus your Iron plate. It is also very thin versus your tick plate.
Really enjoy watching the progress of your cabin project. Thanks for sharing.
"If this floors a creekin', don't come a peekin'"!
An oldie advisory: If it gets too hot and dry..in the cabin..because of the stove.. Put a kettle (spare kettle or pot) with water n let it steam..without opening the door or windows..the temp inside will be OK.
Hope ur Mrs enjoyed her time at ur hideaway cabin.
Stay safe..God bless

Can always get some paver stones for under the stove plate. Build a two piece ladder and devise a pulley system to pull it up out of the way. And rub some oil on that table.
Quite the contrast... you got the burly mountain man beard,, junior with the stellar hockey hair flo
Well played.
Been watching your videos a long time.. Thanks for letting me live through you. You've helped me realise that I need to get away from the city...

nice jacket ;)
It's a great fall, spring one for sure! Can't wait for the 30 day survival challenge, I'll be watching!
Full stop! Super excited to see you and Jeremy together again on the WLC!
Beautiful family!
I love your gentle spirit, and the way you are with your Family- loving and caring! I just subbed!😊
For your loft ladder hinge attach it to the wall so when not in use you can fold it up to the wall and if need flip down and go
One of the best things for thermal barrier between stove/tile/floor is cement fiber board. I've never used steel. Looks good you guys, cheers!
1/2 inch of Micore, or Durock under that sheet metal will give you R 2.5 or so, make it 1 inch and you shouldn't have any concerns with thermal protection with your leg stove.
Full Stop ❤
Awesome
Yes! Another cabin episode!
Steep leerning curve 😂 hey man, family comes first, your true fans will always be here for ya
I love it's Cabin Fever he's reading.🤣
I live off grid too. It's always nice to see other people's setups. Good work guys. Subbed.
Put you a solar ceiling fan upstairs to blow the heat down. .yes put up a railing for safety. It's looking good
Luxury!.. off-grid cabin with all the amenities you would ever need to be comfortable. Lol 😂😂😂😂
The rugged wooded beardsman is toughing it out in the wilderness ooohh!
All these outdoor adventurous manly men....
Seriously all these woodsmen vids. are to funny! 😂

Woohoo Jeremy's coming up, woohoo let the adventures begin.
I remember whe he was just at 50k. Dang how the channel has progressed.
Also, awesome to see you watching the Marvel phases in order. Great minds...
Your such a great dad!
Always a great video when you get the family involved.
Full stop. Glad you guys got to do a family night.
Folding stairs that fold flat to the wall would be awesome in your cabin!
That is a great idea!
A small but important fact at 1:14. Heat does not rise, hot air rises. Heat goes to cold, whether it's up, down or sideways.
Cabin looks great
6:15 “The hot-dog house there” 🤣 love this channel
At my cabin I put down a dbl layer of fiberglass welding blankets bought at harbor freight then ceramic tiles then a plate of steel same on walls !
Better safe than sorry! I am in your boat as well. I have a feeling that flooring is not going to stand up to the heat if they get a good fire going constantly for the winter time.
We put granite for the wood stove, and put the flooring around it, not under it.
What a beautiful wood-burning stove..
This is so cosy house, thanks for sharing with us.
This is Rob from PURventive Maintenance Handyman Service. That pan was made by the other Rob. He does great work.
