Thats my dream home now that divorced and lost my left leg christmas morning 2021. Just me c and daisy my 125lb st.bernard bullmastif mix. Love your channel. Glad i found it by accident. Have a lifelong sub now. Looking at all videos ftom as far back as i can find. Love c what ive see so far .thank you so much .mad respect from central Maine
I love the way you did the outlet covers. Definitely a lot of good ideas in this video. Hope you guys get plenty of enjoyment from the relaxation and the view.
Thank you, Patrick, for making the past week with a coughing virus much more bearable as I watched your videos. Don’t let your busyness keep you from just sitting and drinking in the scenery. Super job!
All I can say is WOW! JOB WELL DONE! I love everything about your cabin. I couldn't possibly pin down one or two things. Y'all did a fabulous job creating the cabin and finishing it to perfection. Your property is gorgeous. May GOD BLESS you and your beautiful wife always. ❤❤❤
Definetly my new fav. Channel. Do jealous its not funny. At 51 yrs old im sick to stomach wishing id done this. Thanks for allowing me to live thru your videos. .
My Dad had a cabin in Vermont. Not sure if they had it built (he was kind of past the age of doing that by then) but he carved every spot of every wall and possibly the ceiling. He did hardwood panels that went together. His carving was far from extraordinary but he liked it and it kept him busy for quite a few years. The still life and landscape carvings weren't bad but any animals were, well, funny. I stopped asking, "Is that a ferret too?" There are NO ferrets! I have some of the last ones he did so they're pretty good. No idea what I'll do with them as exampled by them still being in plastic bags sitting somewhere. I had an idea to resaw them (the blanks were 4 or 5 quarter rough sawn) and attach them to the ends of a trunk I still haven't made in the last 30 years, so they're still in the use planning stage. Maybe I'll leave them to my son and he can carry them around for the rest of his life not knowing what to do with them. This is how family traditions begin! He also has absolutely no wood working or hand skills what so ever. He actually blamed me for that once (he's in his 40's) because he can't fix anything. He thought I was supposed to teach him that. I knew how to wood work and fix things by watching my Dad screw stuff up. I already wanted to know how to do stuff, my Dad didn't make me learn it. I can't teach anyone anything they're not interested in. When my Dad was home and doing something, if he turned while in the shop, he hit me in the forehead with his elbow. I watched him do everything! He wasn't very good at stuff because he never got any instructions and from what I remember, never even cracked a book so when he started building cabinets and furniture, and the cabinet doors turned out to be trapezoids, he'd realize what he'd done wrong and he'd explain it to me. I'm pretty sure he figured I was too young to understand what he was telling me and did it as a audio note book. He figured wrong. When I make cabinet doors, I don't mix up the inside stile dimension with the outside stile dimension and both rails are the same length. He "taught" me very well.
Gee Patrick, there are so many ideas that you have used in making the cabin, like light fittings, recycling timber, great floorboards and ideas to start build using reinforced concrete with metal brackets to base of cabin to prevent wood rot. Well done. Cheers
i have a problem in my own life of pushing through a project to the end, I recently build a 2x 4' shed and it took me three days to build. I love these videos thank you for doing this. this helps me by showing me as long as you keep pushing through eventually you'll get the project done. my favorite part of this video was the trim at the end of the video. mostly because its symbolic for me. the last steps before completion.
Patrick and Karen, I have to agree with everyone's comments below, everything about the cabin is both beautiful and unique. But if you force me to choose one thing about the cabin that I like the most it would have to be Karen's Burl Wood planter. There is just something about Burl Wood that captures my heart. But as everyone else has said, the floors, the electrical outlet covers, the reclaimed wood, all of it comes together and makes that cabin a true gem. Congratulations to both of you. Fantastic job! ! !
I love that you upcycled recycled and used reclaimed materials for the cabin. It's amazing to think that the wood used was from trees from the 1700s before we were a nation. Thank you.
Awesome video. I should have taken notes, with all of the things I've learned. You do really have a slice of paradise. There are so many amazing views!
That floor is insanely awesome...I'm always amazed at the difference of old growth wood compared to the new growth stick lumber at big box stores and lumberyards. I get comments on the early 1940's ship-lap in my basement by people wanting the same thing and I have to explain that they need to find an old house to tear down.
Hi: Those electrical wall plates are amazing! And everything both of you built or crafted are personalized, that's what makes your cabin so unique. Thanks for sharing! I know that you will enjoy every day that you spend there .🌺
I think that you have done a fine job building your cabin. Oddly enough y favorite thing is the scrap wood face plates on your switch’s and outlets. Clever. Due to your latitude I am surprised that you haven’t added a small wood stove. It surely will not take much to make it warm in there. Best Regards Al from Virginia
Hi Al from Virginia! Love those outlet covers, too. We thought hard about the wood stove, but that can open a few “permitting” problems, so best avoided. Thanks for watching!
Now that was clever!!! Taping the wires together to pull through the hole. Yep, clever alright. Who would have thought to use a burl as a decorative, corner piece? Gorgeous with the greenery. So many ingenious ideas you have. Enjoyed this video so much. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Thanks for sharing. What a neat cabin you built. I love everything but the floors are amazing, and the “lemonade” window trim. I liked your sconces and outlet covers too, great work!!
Pre finish the trim. Seems so smart to me and so seldom done. I pre stained a roughsawn redwood fence and seven plus years later it looks very good. Trying to do it after erection was almost impossible with a then foot drop off. No ladder work, drips etc.
I I like your work when you put on laquare or varnish pour some in a bowl the brush will get dust on it co taminaye your new can of laquer. I realy like your work.
For a small cabin or tiny house, the cedar fence planks sold at big box stores like Lowes make good lap siding. It’s super cheap. I’ve used it both as shiplap and beveled siding on small projects. It’s fairly easy to modify the boards with just a cheap table saw or even a circular saw and a jig. Pressure treated works good too if it’s going to be painted. A lot of people give away old fencing when they build a new fence, so that’s a good source.
Burl was cool at the very end. Hard to say if it was my favorite. The worm hole wood is pretty cool too but the cabin as a whole is very cool. I purchased some land in Oklahoma and have asperations to build something similar out there. I saved the Log gate video you did. I may give it a try at some point.
Love the concepts in your build! My only concern, with drywall, is that you may have cracks in your joints when it's exposed to freezing temps. Fun build to watch and I like the "upside down" flooring for rodent proofing!
I subscribed once you made your jab about repurposing the lumber for flooring lol. Because in all honesty once I saw it, I said to myself, I’m doing that. I will keep you in mind and send you a picture once I’m done. I thank and appreciate you for your videos and presentation. 👌🏽
Love the outlet covers and faceplates. Not sure why you didn’t router the back of the strip covering the light cord instead of the wallboards, but enjoyed the details and craftsmanship you’ve shared. Thank you.
😅😅😂😂 blue tape....good one Love it!!!!!!.. So glad your doing it as you feel fit ..... Its a cabin.. probably better built then 99% of them .... All good!!! Although Vancouver you would get 2500/ mth for that 😊 Vel,come to Canada ..and yes that is spelt correctly ....
At 38:05 when you plugged it in, scary since wires in Romex at outlet weren't yet split out and looked close to shorting out. Glad it worked out. Nice cabin!
Suggestion for the box in the wall the cord comes from that plugs into the inverter. Use a switch cover. Drill the hole a little bigger for the cord to come through.
I built self contained solar system for stream monitoring gauges for the USGS and one thing you might want to think about is venting the battery outside somehow If you move up in battery size. I think that battery is sealed, correct? just check once in a while if starts to expands obviously change it out. I love that mount you made for the panels.
I build just like that but have started putting 1/2" foil face foam board over the walls and ceings before paneling. HUGE increase in insulation value - tape the joints with 3M foil tape. Airtight.
I am from Canada, I am starting to love these tiny homes, homes are 500k to a million. Not an investment. With the way things are going, we will.need green houses.
very nice, imaginative for sure... turned out great. where does she "go".... i mean normally we just whip it out but dont ask mine to let it fly outside.... lol. do you have a outhouse built with a hole in the ground?
@LifeontheMoose I like the video. One thing I had a question about, and I tried to find if you covered it, but when you were nailing the siding on the house, arent the nails supposed to be on the thinner side of the board, and then the board above covers the nail? I feel with you literally drilling a hole into the side of your home, you have given moisture a place to get in. I love that flooring. and the Blue Pine is stunning on the inside!!! Keep doing your vids!
Hey thanks so much! Great Q I get a lot. Even with the newer cabin I’m building now. Short answer, it’s the wood. It’s Doug fir, not typically used like this, and the cut wasn’t with siding in mind, either. It was so dry it split too easily ti get much narrower than I did. Thanks for watching!🙏
Very creative and functional, looks great. But I would caution not to use the wall outlets to form the electrical circuit connections. Someone did this in a house I bought and this caused an outlet to overheat, house caught fire. Simple fix is to use wire nuts to connect the circuit wires together, adding a short pigtail wire to each connection point. The pigtail is then connected to the outlet. Everything still has power and no connections overheating so no fire risk.
Love everything about this cabin! It's perplexing how similar our techniques are when working with wood! (I thought that I was unique...) Lacquer is my favorite finish (did you really get away with one coat? (It's at least 3 for me...)). Your videos are great, always edited perfectly to where you can just watch them without fast-forwarding! Cheers!
Wow what nice things to say! I’m humbled. The floor perhaps could have used another coat, but we were just so thrilled with the results after the first, we said done! It really sucked a LOT of product in, plus we didn’t want it to look too…finished. I appreciate you watching! 🙏
Oh wow , just had to pause a bit at 50% where you were in "recovery " from the fire , which will probably end up being a blessing anyway for solar, wildflowers and a garden . Isn't "blue pine" just white pine that is cheaper because it got some sort of fungus? A Van- Kid said that. It ends up looking great anyway. I love the "tips and tricks" to eliminate fumbling. Why not stain or seal the celing boards before installing? Less back strain . I'm now leaning towards big-ass windows and the right sized stove. I figure if you thing you're gonna die in a blizzard, then it's blackout curtains and maybe even shutters and leave a smaller window uncovered. Oh I saw the coolest solar panel Idea from a Michigan Yooper. he mounted the panels on a turntable to "follow" the sun, you could probably even MacGuyver a motorized rotator thing on a timer . Then again you have almost no blockage so you can go full south. Oh and great points on the foundation. Great work sir, love this. Subbed.
I stumbled onto another of your videos by recommendation of youtube. I know watched 8 videos of yours and love it and your passion! I want to ask you a not so often question or fun thing to talk about..... Is there an outhouse or is it the 3 mile track back to your homestead? I know laws are different state to state and I am sure an outhouse even if legal in your state would be doable in a mountain/rock based area.? I can't wait to binge watch more of your videos! Great job!
Wow thank you so much. Binge watching is welcomed! So far these are just dry cabins. We are contemplating composting toilets. I appreciate you watching! 🙏
My parents remodeled a 103 year old farmhouse in northwest Iowa the winter of 1975/76. In the barn that was falling in were 16 foot boards for kickboards. Probably was an easy 20 of these boards. Dad had planned on using them for some project, unfortunately while burning weeds he started the barn on fire. Having forgotten about those boards he added a little diesel to the side of the barn...
FYI, a receptacle cannot be used to complete an electrical circuit. The incoming and outgoing power must be spliced by an appropriate means (wirenut) with a pigtail to the device (receptacle). BTW, very jealous of your skills and location!
I lo e everything but those Cabinet door hinges are cute aad the rocky mountain sunshine is so amazing , every day feels happy ❤ Does the lacquer have a tint in it or is that just how rich it is ?
Very nice work, Loved it. Just one thing kept ringing in my head...where is the bathroom in this project? I mean I understand it's a cabin in the woods, but still I really don't think you're going to the woods to do your business every time... Just asking
Great Video beautiful landscape. When planning the solar did you consider installing the panels on the roof. It seems like a perfect location for them for this size project.
Since you have so much wind in your area, have you considered using a small wind turbine for powering the batteries? They often last up to 20-30 years, longer than solar panels. Was there a reason why you went with solar? Thanks Great video! :)

You’re so kind!
Definetly my new fav. Channel. Do jealous its not funny. At 51 yrs old im sick to stomach wishing id done this. Thanks for allowing me to live thru your videos. .
Lovely Lady, Lovely Cabin. Glad you could save some of the old wood, it just adds so much character.

Favorite part of your cabin build is those million dollar views across the mountains. Great video, you earned a new subscriber here!
Woohoo! MUCH appreciated.
Yeah those views never get old.
I love that you upcycled recycled and used reclaimed materials for the cabin. It's amazing to think that the wood used was from trees from the 1700s before we were a nation. Thank you.
Thank YOU! And yes, it still amazes me.
My type of construction. Looks Maine built. Mad respect ,only your view is 10000000000 times better than our thick forrest. Again mad respect.
Liked how you mixed the past with the present. The floor is the best. Views are amazing. 😁
Agreed!! Appreciate you watching.
This turned out awesome. Love how did the whole thing
Thanks so much!!
I'm looking forward to seeing how the new 1 comes out
Well thanks, John. Me, too!
Awesome video. I should have taken notes, with all of the things I've learned. You do really have a slice of paradise. There are so many amazing views!
No need to take notes, just watch it again! 😀
Love the floors. I have a sawmill and this is on my list do with my husband. Thank you for sharing your build.
I’m jealous! I want a sawmill…
I appreciate you watching!

Thanks so much! I love it, too.
Fabulous. Nothing more to say than that.
Thanks!
Never seen blue pine before….it is gorgeous!
I think so too…Character!
Amazing dream come to life. Well done!
Thank you!
It's your cabin do it your way and how you see fit. Let all the commenters comment Love it great job!!
I appreciate you!

Hey thanks so much!!
Nothing more relaxing than the sound of the ocean! Did you get your feet wet in the Pacific Ocean?
Absolutely beautiful. I love your "make it work" attitude. Beautiful design.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
The custom wood switch cover, and GFI plugin thingy cover. And, the ladder on its side for painting the wood, that is a great method when you need.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pre finish the trim. Seems so smart to me and so seldom done. I pre stained a roughsawn redwood fence and seven plus years later it looks very good. Trying to do it after erection was almost impossible with a then foot drop off. No ladder work, drips etc.
So true. I did the interior and some of the exterior, but ran out of time last fall trying to button it up. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video !
Love how the whole thing!
Appreciate you watching!
Appears to be a satisfying build, props to you.

Beautiful ceiling I hope you allowed for ventilation you don't want condensation
😅😅😂😂 blue tape....good one
Love it!!!!!!..
So glad your doing it as you feel fit .....
Its a cabin.. probably better built then 99% of them ....
All good!!!
Although Vancouver you would get 2500/ mth for that 😊

My new fav channel.thanks so much.
I love the floor and the black accents. No woodstove for heat? Great job!
Appreciate that. It’s a possibility!
Suggestion for the box in the wall the cord comes from that plugs into the inverter. Use a switch cover. Drill the hole a little bigger for the cord to come through.

Why not stain or seal the celing boards before installing? Less back strain . I'm now leaning towards big-ass windows and the right sized stove. I figure if you thing you're gonna die in a blizzard, then it's blackout curtains and maybe even shutters and leave a smaller window uncovered. Oh I saw the coolest solar panel Idea from a Michigan Yooper. he mounted the panels on a turntable to "follow" the sun, you could probably even MacGuyver a motorized rotator thing on a timer . Then again you have almost no blockage so you can go full south. Oh and great points on the foundation. Great work sir, love this. Subbed.
Thank you so much! And I appreciate your comments. Look forward to having you along.
Entertaining and fun. Thanks. Love it! No heat for winter use?
Have a portable propane heater for now. Appreciate you asking!
Should've painted the osb. When you flipped it.
That OSB won't get wet or exposed to sunlight, so no problem.
Can you emagine why people have like buttons
I stumbled onto another of your videos by recommendation of youtube. I know watched 8 videos of yours and love it and your passion! I want to ask you a not so often question or fun thing to talk about..... Is there an outhouse or is it the 3 mile track back to your homestead? I know laws are different state to state and I am sure an outhouse even if legal in your state would be doable in a mountain/rock based area.? I can't wait to binge watch more of your videos! Great job!
Wow thank you so much. Binge watching is welcomed! So far these are just dry cabins. We are contemplating composting toilets. I appreciate you watching! 🙏
Really love the saw marks in the old boards on the floor, and the imperfections. Also what brand of saw blade you use on your circular saw?
I believe that blade is a Diablo. I appreciate you watching!
My parents remodeled a 103 year old farmhouse in northwest Iowa the winter of 1975/76. In the barn that was falling in were 16 foot boards for kickboards. Probably was an easy 20 of these boards. Dad had planned on using them for some project, unfortunately while burning weeds he started the barn on fire. Having forgotten about those boards he added a little diesel to the side of the barn...
Too bad about the barn fire! I was in IA then.
FYI, a receptacle cannot be used to complete an electrical circuit. The incoming and outgoing power must be spliced by an appropriate means (wirenut) with a pigtail to the device (receptacle).
BTW, very jealous of your skills and location!
You are correct! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Great job. It’s beautiful. How do you heat it?
Portable MR Heater, rated for indoors. Won’t be heated for extended lengths of time.
I lo e everything but those Cabinet door hinges are cute aad the rocky mountain sunshine is so amazing , every day feels happy ❤
Does the lacquer have a tint in it or is that just how rich it is ?
That’s just how rich it was. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Very nice work, Loved it. Just one thing kept ringing in my head...where is the bathroom in this project? I mean I understand it's a cabin in the woods, but still I really don't think you're going to the woods to do your business every time... Just asking
Just an occasional dry cabin. Appreciate you watching!
Great Video beautiful landscape.
When planning the solar did you consider installing the panels on the roof. It seems like a perfect location for them for this size project.
I did, but the roof slant isn’t the ideal direction. Thanks for watching!
Since you have so much wind in your area, have you considered using a small wind turbine for powering the batteries? They often last up to 20-30 years, longer than solar panels. Was there a reason why you went with solar? Thanks
Great video! :)
We didn’t really consider wind. Not ruling it out completely for future projects, just going with what I knew at the time. Appreciate you watching!
You certainly have some billion $ views!
which videos cover the roofing framing?
subscribed! great vids
Thanks so much! I started framing the roof of the Spur cabin in the next video on Friday.
