    Love how the foreman cat inspects your work in the crawl space below the house, then quietly stands over you as you lay the concrete; making sure that you do the work correctly. Clearly that is one construction savvy cat. And of course when off the job, he sends in his second: Rooster McBuilder.

      I'm sure he's seen it done before, and then followed through and did his homework on how to do it right. Just like how he's a self-taught film maker, and produces videos that are so gorgeous they sometimes that my breath away. He's just a true modern renaissance man who takes the time he needs to master the crafts he needs to see his vision come to life.

    As always, you remain a true artist, Nik. Those stairs are gorgeous, and the video stays engaging throughout... but especially those shots of the cat resting on your back while you work. Few things as fun as watching someone do real labor and a cat coming along and going "oh, you're doing something here? well, I don't understand what that is, but I'll keep you company anyway! you don't mind if I sit on your back, do you?"

Я смотрю тебя с самого начала твоего проекта, но написать решил первый раз. Ты просто умница и трудяга. Видно что у тебя есть фантазия, мышление художника, умелые руки и масса терпения. Я люблю таких людей и желаю тебе и твоей семье здоровья, удачи и благополучия ! Очень хочется увидеть твой дом натурально. Пока!!!!

    Your stone work; as usual, is of utmost perfection and absolutely stunning. Of course, I expected nothing else than another project that was done truly awesomely, beautifully and all like a picture that was painted by the creator’s paintbrush. Wow, everything you’ve developed is majestic. Thank you again for sharing! ❤❤✝️

    I am a big fan since the very beginning, when the construction started. Everysing is put together witth a great sence for estaetic. I like the idea of ​​a glass floor on balcony, to let as much light as possible into the interior through the window below and perfectly combines modern with traditional. The log house as such is diverse in design, so the fence on the terrace and balcony makes it a bit too busy, in my opinion, but it is a matter of personal preferences. A great project overall.

    And then you show us something different along with all your other unique talents which is a stone mason.
    As I watched you tinker with each chosen stone I could see that you got more and more comfortable with
    where and how you cut them. At first there was a mistake or two but nothing you couldn't deal with. You
    made it work. At the end you learned how hard and sharp to hit the stone to get nearest to a perfect cut. .....
    Just as you said in the beginning it was a learning experience. You did well and it turned out spectacular!
    Keeping to the true artist that you are...another fine video. Thnx. A cyber friend, Me southern AZ. (USA)

    It was very interesting to actually be able to see someone completely learn a new skill on camera. You can see the lessons you have learned from stone to stone, getting better and better with each cut. This seems like a very fun skill to learn, and so satisfying to know that all your hard work is paying off right before your eyes. You have turned into a very good videographer and storyteller through your work with the cameras. We are all glad that you chose to film all this amazing, hard work and share it with the world. Bless you and your family, Nik
