BUILDING a Small Cabin in the WOODS (COMPLETE BUILD!)

Feb 27, 2020
so we're finally making it happen, we're finally

build

ing our little log

cabin

, it's off wheels, it's not a trailer anymore, we're digging post holes, we're throwing in pressure treated lumber, it's going to be our only real trick that's not easy for the sawmill because obviously we don't want this to rot or the cost so far is $0 plus the sawmill, so we're digging the posts right now. I'll update you right now, real quick. for this area here it will be level and then we will go out, we have our post dug, we are going to dig eight posts in total, we will make a rectangular box, it will measure approximately nine feet by Gavin, 9 feet by 9 feet for that length we are not taking exact measurements because we are going a we're just going to blow up this whole thing will be a little cave in the

woods

it's not going to be on wheels it's not going to use the trailer

complete

ly abandoned that so we're making it as cheap as possible we're going to do it like the ancients did except we can use the pressure treaty, that's the only difference, the veterans didn't

build

foundations, they dig, dig, dig. dig holes because digging sucks digging really sucks how much is digging material so let's go down I think about three feet that will get us below the frost line if this thing gets up and moves and all that will be a lot of fun, won It won't be too much crooked, yeah, we're just going to move on, it won't be elaborate, it'll be like the old timers did it, the old timers didn't care about things and those old timers, when they built things, they lasted for hundreds. of years we are going to build with what we have here because we don't have a lot of straight wood of really long dimensions, so we will do with what we have on the site, so we will feel the trees and see how So far we can achieve it without you knowing that you have to going without a source, that's not good for television, mind you it just sits there, so we don't know it's going to be hard to pause or something, it'll turn out okay, we just don't know. you know what it's going to look like it won't be along looking down the hill it'll be on the other side looking this way it'll be nine by twelve, now we found out that nine by twelve will be a place where people can experience it as opposed to a fixed number already we won't be sad it has to be a fixed number at some point you say measure it at the end you say eight times twelve and I say nine times twelve because you give it another four extra eights no Very And it's going to go in this direction, so it will stick out into the View over here, so we have nine front and twelve in the back, because the back will be mainly bedrooms in the upper loft area down, so that's not necessary.

That area in the back will have a nice seating area, a big old pointed cathedral ceiling. If you go too far, you can't go pointy because the point will be 25 feet high, you know what I am? We're not

building

the church, guys, so there's no trailer here anymore, the trailer idea is

complete

ly gone. This is going to be a

cabin

. Still, we are going to use pressure treated wood for our posts. I guess it's one of our tricks. because it's obviously a pretty integral part of the whole deal, so Kevin is driving over here with the truck here trailer, he's the uzuki trailer partner, someone orders some posts.

More Interesting Facts About,

building a small cabin in the woods complete build...

I did what you pay for these pieces of trash, these were free from the pressure of a neighbor. tried six at a time, so we don't want to mess with the things that go there, the client put it back to the leader, he put it to other more nailed ones, so let's put this on eight posts, the posts go to be pressure. treated because we're not going to mess around with anything, so in the spirit of all this, we've actually used reclaimed materials, we have a post hole dug there, a post hole dug here, one here, so we're going to Place the poles and then we're going to measure that in the draw or eight and then we can land and then we're going to start the construction of this thing, but don't look at the kidney.

Yes, I'm going to scare that nail among the fans. It's too cheap to buy nails. That's how it is. You have to use what you have. These are at least 50 cents. I love a plum. It looks good from my house. You want five feet of that pole. and okay, actually let's level the veterans, well look, I don't drink enough to level this with beer, so I'll use my laser instead, I'm sure someone on the channel can actually tell me how to use it. this thing, well, this is where the top of the post goes, there will be another six inches on top of there, so pretty.

Well you wanted the view of the best view, the View, stay off the ground, what you have to stay off the ground, you have to make sure that the higher you are off the ground, the more comfortable you will be, you are supposed to spend money on shoes and beds, so we're just working on the last post once this comes in. out of the ground so we have to go use the mill because we have to get a 16 foot to go through the eight piles calm piles this is calm piles they are pretty well aligned use the level use the chalk line All that garbage here we go level, so obviously we worked with a little bit of a gradient here, so so that you don't feel like you're going to slide off the back when you sleep, you have high stilts. on the back here and then shorter slopes, pilings on the back of the top here and everything is going to be a little bit sloped but level obviously and then we're going to have a wraparound deck that we're still going to smooth out. the overhang other sides overhang in the front yes we have to go to the mill next we have a cutter I think we are going to find a cedar here we are going to cut the cedar we are going to mill the top and bottom I am going to place it right on top that will be a frame as we go, the picture we get, but first we started, nothing mattered, now everything matters, there is no depth, although it is about every little detail.
I'll make it square. like a box that is that construction trend that comes out perfect there is not yet no so we are aware that people will do we should have dug deeper we should have poured cement there we should have been using safe to comment on your protection steel toe shoes probably vests and stuff, we're not doing any of that guys, yeah, guys shouldn't be leaning over the chainsaw etc., we know all those guys don't follow what we do, they do it right, we'll just do it out of curiosity. my friend Don asked me how square it is, let's take a look, so hooker and 1-86 and a half we're at 186, we're all or pretty close side to side 97 97, right now we're at the Let's look for a 16 foot by 6 to put on top of our posts and we have a few candidates here, there are a couple we need to get rid of anyway or they'll end up causing us problems.
Look, all of those have to be eliminated. cleared before the dirt where they don't need to land I think I think this one here will work fine oh and it's going to be a 16 footer we have to cut it off and then we have to drag it over to some books. I can't actually get a saamne up here, so I'm going to cut down these cedars and drag them to the sawmill and then we'll rub them down. I just need to do it, which is good, there shouldn't be problems like the forest. trees here where is it going to last this is going to fall right here you have a hinge that works now it's worth it now we're going to connect a cable here and take that one out and then we should be good the other ones could fall well that's a mess we're going to clean it up we're going to use this one for another piece and that's what we're going to get out of the wood here that's the hardest part is getting these 16 footers to make the main structure i Cedars like to hang all the time all the time time and the upper branches I knock down and pull the bot - very good, now pull one of the horses from the bottom up the sawmill is this is an R with H g36 what to make cuts The logs in boards will be our main beam, it will go through the pillars from one side to the other at 16 feet high, probably one of the longest and largest pieces we need to join together.
Yes, I make two of these, although I flatten the top button at the bottom. We can just throw it right on top of our boards and I'll set the goal that we can throw on top that week. Laura's floor is already above the ground with a six-inch by 6-inch live edge on both sides, so it will give us a little more pace, yes, but what's the point? No, it's just to support the entire building. This is to support the entire building. This is our structure. Tighten the blade so that we have the proper tension on the blade. to cut it straight, hey, do you think this, turn it up, hold your head so it presses against it, that's a long and short guy, don't record this video, these people won't know you wore it, pay attention to where Peter yesterday we got the main. excavated structure put our main beams on our 60 16 footers, yeah, and then on top of that we're going to put something like this, what is it?
This is a 2 by 2 floor structure, actually 2 inches by 5 inches, which might be undersized, but that's all we have, yeah, we're using the got stuff, let's double it, we'll probably go 1 foot on center and we're going to nail them all together and that's going to be our floor if we use dead cedar, yeah, so it's To begin with, it was pretty dry, so we actually had a mix, we have spruce and we have some cedar, we had some logs kicking before milah got up and the reason we use the cedars is because it's dead, yes it's dry.
We don't have to wait for things to dry the company we need we need 10 10 to make the bottom I'll load them all up we'll zip them up we'll throw them down We have some OSB, it's chipboard. We could do it with cedar, but it's much better, it's much easier and faster and, frankly, it's not that expensive to just throw the boards away. You have a nice flat surface to work on. and then we can go higher, that's the plan, let's go out two, three, four, you're just throwing some blocks, make it rigid now it doesn't bounce anymore, okay, so we have a dimensional lumber for the walls, we don't have our end caps on top. bottom plates, so we're looking around these cabins right there, you've got a father standing here.
I think it's a dead standing spruce I was looking for because the dead standing ones are dry enough that they won't warp or twist. about us, so stick this one here, it's a huge tree, it will do everything we need, but it's huge, which one will never use it, well, take it down anyway, what will happen to it? The ball will break. Maybe we'll see what happens if you thick and thin logs, so if it's thick from one side to the other, you're going to tape it up and lift it up so it tapers so you don't lose as much material, otherwise you'll have a bigger wedge, no you want a wedge. you want to avoid the wedge so you're compensating for the tapered shape of the log which allows you to get more boards out of a tapered log with these guys they're two in fours here we're all precut they're nice and dry so we can put together this immediately cutting the top and bottom plate there, we need a lot of 12 foot feet, so it's a little more complicated.
You get them. I took the long ones. It was dead, so it's ready to go right away. It's great for ice, but sometimes you have to cut dry or wet things and then dry them, that's where we are, we have a bunch of these, probably enough to finish the cabin more or less, you may have to cut some here and there, but it's good to have them. things are ready to go, ideally you would pre-cut everything, but we need to rip and make this up as we go and add a little creativity when needed your standard 2x4, we just need to cut them. to the height, throw them up here on the easel, we'll cut them all to height and then we can get them down there, they'll be ready to go, bang bang bang, we discovered some of them, quite a wet and moldy spill, we didn't get enough. air circulation these are heavy as bricks black mold someone is going to die in this building it will be all your fault let's go through our selection of windows now Kevin has a bunch of old salvaged windows so I'm going to calculate how much light we want to get out of here, it's Uh, I think more is better personally.
I think what has the windows is such a

small

structure that you put a wood fire in there, it will get very hot, very quickly, of course the idea is to experience nature and welcome it. in this it is not to be completely isolated from myself more Windows is better we have to choose the right ones look behind my shoulder here there are a bunch all here some super super big I have to see what you have in mind what you are thinking four windows I have some

small

er ones this way, it's like a gallery of leftover and chewed things, so I have four windows, one, two, three, four, we rescued some lentils, we will use them instead of building them, they are free, they can be fully salvaged . of nails, obviously, these were rescued from a house that they were going to demolish.
Windows in perfect condition, they open and close. I have a fixed pane window. Here you're not sure what we're going to do and thenwe'll have to cut 24 of those. We will make them on the ground, it is easier to stand together and we will have a roof. You know, we have made the main part of the frame. The next big pain in the butt will be getting that roof up and this weather is no fun. Once the roof is up, we cut it in a clear place because after that we just tear out a bunch of cedar, we can frame it or we can slide it all in and then we'll be in the heat when it's dry and we'll probably get the wood.
You put a stove in there and then you dry some of that wood and then you move on to the rest, which will be the insulation and the windows and everything that locks it, at least we have a building we can get in and out of. this weather here's a look at what we have it doesn't look like much a bunch of sticks hanging there but that's most of the building it's pretty big it's got a bunch of beams coming right now I've got the Suzuki playing here we heard it coming I just got ours delivery of the wood is broken, we previously broke these two by sixes because we knew we needed them and you wanted to take advantage of the better weather to collect things from the forest, there are all our beams, we will have to cut them when we get here, there is the template that we cut the last time and this and here, so we have to replicate this side that angle here and transfer it to keep this and the other 24 over here or something like that, probably a little more than 24, but we'll do it.
Let's see, as we go, we can always cut a little more. Now there is a way to take away the cold. Make this kind of weather. A large bonfire completely necessary in these conditions. We have to burn all the waste wood anyway. in the forest and we have been working to clear a lot of it because the animals clearly can't use it. You can see all that purging here. You hear. I mean, it's good cover for animals, but a lot of it. of the new trees can't burst here and they can't either, the deer can't walk through this area here it's too thick and they've been avoiding my brother's property quite a bit and mainly on the other side of here, so the idea would be to create a pond in this area and then draw some wildlife and then clear all the obstacles so that the animals can walk there.
Well, don't they know the squirrels and all that? We'll get through but the deer can't get through here, there's already a couple of beams up there, that's coming up to finish this part of the roof that we actually have to frame on the front porch here and we're. short on the pillar, so it has to go there, but when we finally do all that, we actually need a front piece that goes all the way, so back here we have a tree hanging and the Suzuki pulling it, now it's all. Tied up again your actions, your actions, turn off the car, so now we are hanging here and up there, there is no way to move it until we solve this mess.
Damn, you have most of it. I don't know, no, I saw it. we applaud this is like the lumber yard we just walk into the lumber yard here we would pick up what we need bring them back to the sawmill turn it into what we want to see the cabin sits on the hill here we are down here in the

woods

it's a big game here down, that's just part of the reason we chose this place is because of all the landslides here, so there's a lot of things to choose from, a lot of trees to choose from, so we're looking now for wood that will make our pillars up to the porch covered are part of the front area, so we need to find cop, some spruce or something right in the dead place here already knocked down.
Ideally we should clear this entire area, not the trees, not the standing trees, the dead trees, and make use of them, but it is a big task to choke on all this stuff. I mean, animals can't even walk around here, big game, animals like deer can't even walk around here and there's no productivity with all this stuff lying on the ground, so looking at the piled up ferns and picking up the things that can still be used, that's what we're looking at today, we're totally in November, it usually doesn't snow that much in November, but it does. inside, who's who right now has to get that roof, man, this is getting tedious, so, look, a little planning probably would have saved us a lot of agony, but what we're seeing here is we have to get the ceiling here.
The gable ends here we have to support them down here, so we have some bad set pillars that we can't say are not bad places, we just didn't plan ahead to put that support up there all the way down. to the ground, so you've been adding some pillars, we never finished the pillars on this side for the cover, so we dug them the other day, you know, the ground freezes, this girl won't freeze deep enough so we can't dig. more, but it's nice to have done all that without having to break up the frozen ground, so we're going to dig a couple more here, we're planning on laying the platform and then we can work anyway, it's hard to explain, it will get easier. to show you in a photo or even in a, we're done, you'll see what we're doing for you, yeah, we're going to dive into that today, we'll forget a little bit about the front porch done and the wrap around that we don't We don't have to worry about the wrap in Right now, we want to finish the rest of the roof so we can put the steel roof on top of it and then once we have the roof and put it on, we can slide the walls up. and then we're good, then we're good, then we're in a place where it doesn't matter anymore as far as the weather, your clothes, hold them, that's like the size of the board, how big is it? with seven and a half inches currently the top inch 1 inch 1 inch so whatever Peter yeah Peter's board is rough so we put it back together we would have a front one, a long one across and then the other ones will be with waste, so Let's put a bunch of random, we don't have to worry about ingenuity on this, so any cedar we have will be good and when akka has to look at the front ends of all the boards cut this way, en I'm going to hide them, trust me, that'll look good when we're done, so we officially lost to the snow.
Official. Now it's official. That's why you don't wait for the wood to dry completely. Winter is coming. Kevin is bothered by the comments we make. I saw on the Norwood portable sawmill company Facebook page a small trailer there and people were bothered by the fact that we were cutting what looked like wet wood. In reality, most of it is dead. Part is wet. I admit that some of it is wet, but... the word people are worried about it drying out and then shrinking and then the whole thing becoming a mess, so they're going to have to keep an eye out and find out over the next year if the cabin is going to be completely trash because we didn't. draw your would, I think those people are worried about drywall cracking and all that, but this won't have drywall, I can't have drywall, in general, we also have another plan for insulation and all the interior jobs will be something I probably won't totally expect, but stay tuned and watch, so we're launching the platform today.
We did a little bit of the last episode last time last day. I don't know what I was up to, we're somewhere, so here's a look. how it's going to look really good and it's not dry either, it's fresh off the paw tree, it looks pretty fancy. I'm worried about walking on it because it'll get all gray and dark and all gross, but whatever we do. You can always redo it at some point and finish it. No, we don't have to finish anything. It's just going to be rustic, so yeah, that's what we're looking at. Lots of snow.
See up here. We haven't finished the roof. However, we are talking to a company. We tried to get a steel roof. We already have free steel but the color of the fog doesn't match and at this point we want it to look good so we are talking to a company. We'll see. If those sponsors, if not, we will have different roof colors that won't match, but that's okay because we don't want this to be an expensive project. You can see it's all mostly framed, except for the snow on the roof falling here, so we need to finish. up this peak area here and the platform, but before we can finish the rest of the roof, we have to lower the platform because the pillars actually, the front pillars here to finish this here, they sit on the platform, so once we have the cover down, then we can go up to our pole to support the rest of the roof in the front, which is actually sticking out of the cover, so we'll have a nice area to sit out of the weather, so there's our covered, everything will be visible. of cedar so it will hold up much better, leave an inch and instead of boards from the trees, we actually have no shortage of cedar and a cedar forest here mostly around us, all cedar, so we are picking up the dead stuff to cut them down and mill and we'll just nail that into a platform that she's covering up, did you misunderstand?
Oh, that's tight, we're just removing the candy, so we're going to move all the back ends and move all the back ends a little bit. a little bit, so there will be a little space in each one, not as big as this space here, well spread it out the entire length, you have a sign here all the way to the top and then, in the same thing, on the other side, this piece here it is somehow I'm going to be suspended up there, okay, wait, don't move here, $20 more and I'll push it up, twisted, I think and I'll lift it higher, well, okay, I have to let go, where is it mother? 1 2 3 a little bit more Well, it's in, I've got it tighter there, okay, so we're here in the bush, we've cut down some spruce trees and we've been milling the wood for the roof, this is a strapping one by four and It will go on the roof to accommodate our steel.
I've probably milled enough or not enough. Worst case scenario, I'm just going to mill a little more, so we'll see how far this takes us and if we need to know a little more, we'll do it like you do. We know we have been working with the Norwood portable sawmill cutting this wood to build our little house in the woods. The forests that come from the forest are seen around us. It's my bush lot, first cutting down standing dead trees that are grinding them down or Use them right away if you peel the trunks you'll get better blade life because sand tends to build up in the park.
This is the rest of the platform. We need to fill that side section, so let's mill. Someone for whatever reason must fill it so that we have something to fall back on. I know what it is. It's a cedar that my tree left behind a couple of years ago, so it's actually pretty dry. You can generally tell when it is dry when it is done. that hollow sound like a beach ball back there it's wet it makes like it's dead don't step on this one here pretty clear view from up here it's hard to know what you're going to end up with in the end with this framing this back wall here, so let's cutting all the tedious little bits here, the angles are all weird and then we have a frame on a window here in the attic, so it's good that we have a frosted window that's going to go in here, but we have to cut this frame here because it holds the ceiling and we want to frame the walls so that the ceiling doesn't want to sink too much.
That's where we are now, making sure we have all the windows. right, we have the right window for here because if your frame is wrong, we will have to buy a window, which will not be fun, the window that opens without our header has our stud, kingpin bottom plate, let's Fill in more pieces of wood here to hold the bar in the window. We're already done opening, so when you look out the window you'll see a bunch of trees like you should. We have a steel roof on the way, but we have a little time today, so we're going to put up windows, at least framing them.
We have some platforms we need to do. We're not done yet. Making some of the ducting will be easier for us. the platform here to make the windows and the siding will be a circular window that goes in there, it's framed like a box and I'm going to do a little walkthrough to see if we can put this in the frame here to give you a better idea of ​​what's on. going. let's go up here on the deck in the back we just got up on the deck you can walk across the deck here to the front of the cabin now we're in the front it has a pole and then when we're on the The front deck here , if you look up, everything will be exposed, so they won't be exposed to the elements, of course, but there will be a roof up here and this will be a big open space, so it would be a covered porch.
So now we're in front here and I'll turn them around. This is the viewer looking here at a nice big open area and hoping that one day we'll put a pawn in there and a food plot that would be pretty cool for now. It's all a frame of popsicle sticks, noit looks like a cabin, it doesn't look like much, but once we put on the roof and the siding, it's really going to start to look like a cabin and then we'll put in the windows and I. I'm really looking forward to it because it's cold below zero, it's getting colder now, it'll be a little warm, I still win this season for this kind of weather, but you can hear my feet squeaking, that's when you know the snow is getting cold , yes, you have a There are a lot of things left to do here before winter comes, but we will get there.
I think we will make it. It's all wood fresh from the sawmill, all cut from the forest behind us, we haven't taken any wood. property we have used some plywood for the main deck and some pressure treated wood to hold up the cabin because obviously you want to use anything that shows you the loft, so this is a pretty good space for the loft, a window In the back. will open I'm going to go up here without killing myself your window in the back here that opens you have a little mini knee wall that's about a foot long and then looking out, that's our other window on the other side , you can see how I hope at this point we have a good view all the way around.
We'll have a place where we can put a bed on one side and another bed on the other side here and then when you probably need to have one. some type of railing for safety and then when you look down through the front door and then the wood stove will be here in this area which is the rest of the deck going in right now they will have a wrap around it So we're pre-casting our brick mold which is a cedar cut size for the window and then we're going to lay them down and then the siding will laugh and the play will spit and that will provide our drip edge kind of talking too well hey guys , we're finally at the point where you can put up some walls it's a great day Wallace Wallace Wallace otherwise it looks like a popsicle stick structure so yesterday Kevin came in and they ground up a bunch of live edge cedar, put the windows in there looking good .
On the way to the top, it looks like Kevin is trying to figure out how to do these corner pieces, so Luke Liam, but move all the siding up to the corner pieces and then make straight runs, except for all the windows you put in , which are going to be fun to trim it, but that's the price you pay for not having electricity, so we need light from outside. Just start with the walls. It looks like a cabin. From the outside, it looks good. Some walls and some windows begin to form. a difference: when you go out the window and you see that it looks very good, yes, freshly cut cedar, all of these are from the property, all the materials that we have used, I come from the properties, some things that came from outside. not too many properties, the post is over a pressure treatment, we brought in some plywood for a subfloor on the main level, there is the inside part, we have the idea of ​​using some natural materials for insulation, so you have to stick with that, but now we have a nice windbreak, the idea is that we are going to put up all the walls and then we are going to have a roof, we have a tin roof, it is a sponsor of a tin roof, so stay tuned for that roof we should up in a day or two, it's all tied up, all the tops cut off, we have a deck that all together is starting to look like a cabin in the woods, the roof here looks pretty clean, everything will be open, this is finished, both as we're going to finish up there's a floor up here an open live edge pine beam here starting it looks good yeah the request is the company that provided us with the roof it's a great product so far we have a side of the cabin It's already half a day, so it goes up fast, so we're going to install it with a basically it screws on with the gasket, it's pretty simple, screw the gaskets on, they have a rubber gasket on there when you screw it on, sandwich the gasket and the self-sealing, the self-sealing, so no.
Nails are required, so keV, why did you choose the mission of all the roofing companies of all the types of roofing products we could use? Because the asphalt could use tin, anything to destroy us. in full size pounds, panels three feet wide and whatever length you want so they cut it to size for the length of the roof and then it goes three feet and it goes away so all we did was drop it down and then we are. screwing it in every 16 yeah you tie it on 16 inch centers and then you pre drill all the panels so all the panels are actually you drill them on 16 inch centers to put the screws in.
Oh come on, you're not brother, we did a lot. of progress today it's obviously starting to look a lot more homey or homey, at least with the roof, having a nice red roof on your cabin in the woods really makes it stand out from everything else, it's kind of wood or wood like having a nice The red roof is very classic, wild heat, yes we had the option to choose between 10 or 15 colors, I just wanted a red roof, yes, why doesn't red make it stand out? It looks very elegant, now we have like Kevin said, we have a side.
I'm all about putting up a roof, this is the way to go man, if you're playing with shingles and running them up and down the ladder, a big advantage of using steel in the woods is that you don't necessarily get much out of it. from the sun, so if you're building a house in it and it gets full sun, it's going to dry out a lot more, but if you're building a cabin in the woods and it's been exposed to a lot of moisture, moisture and leaves and things that build up on it he if you use steel, it tends not to disintegrate if you have an asphalt shingle, it tends to grow moss, it starts to show, it starts to leak, what's more, you know, it's susceptible to animals digging through the Real jingles land on its rate of fire and you can see that out the window this is a squirrel landing on the roof it shoots from the edge because there is no place for the scroll to hang on a slippery steel roof so that's another benefit yeah . so sun exposure here is pretty minimal and we don't want moss growing on a tile space, wait that's it yeah so guys if you're deciding on a Vic West product go to their website , they have like three or four different profiles and they'll help you if you decide you're building it, you know a specific house and you want a specific look, they can tailor the look to what you want, like they have very modern looking steel roofs, rather Flat profile with raised edge, you don't see any other bra, that wasn't a big deal for us so we chose this one because if you want to visit the website, go below, I will have it in the description. just click on it and you will find Vic West, they are a very well known brand and they specialize in hunting camps and all kinds of things like that.
So far, all you builders, you want a roof that definitely reaches your knees. Consider them, the amazing thing is that you give them your plans, they figure out everything you say, we gave them a sketch on a piece of paper and they figured this out, so they did the math so you don't have to do any math. you just give them your dimensions and they figure out what you need, they'll figure out the valleys, the caps, the ridge, the flashing, everything think about a steel roof, it goes up fast once you line it all up, it's basically screwing it together. and you're ready and it looks pretty good too so what we're going to do is go get the chimney right now and we're going to knock it down to the ground and we're going to figure out where our roof has to finish and then we're going to go from there but it's going pretty fast. , we move forward, that's what they show.
It's about umiak. Okay, so I knock down the chimney. Yeah, it's a big mess anyway. I'm not going to explain to me how to do it correctly, but it's a lot harder than you think. It just needs to be putting in a chimney and having the stove installed, but I'll show you what we have so far. Get the stove. You have a little. A bit. I have an extension. A little too big a telescopic so I wake up and make a box and inside the box is a collar and then there's the disaster right now: an insulated chimney that goes inside the box two sections out of the roof and then into the outside looks for a meeting.
Well, Vic West made us a custom sized roof, but we had to cut this piece out. He is the only piece that we will really have to cut to achieve the overlap of the metal gasket that goes above the chimney to seal everything. nothing leaks, it's messy, but it's well made, it actually lasts forever. Sue spent all day playing with the stovepipe to get it perfect. You want to level it and plumb the ceiling and then we also want to make sure there are no leaks so the ceiling has to be done 100% perfectly, then we have to center the stove in the room where we want it and have everything fall all the way to the top, it's Easier said than done on the coldest day of the year.
I'm kidding, it's actually quite a bit. I have a special talent for finding a nail. Hey, let's go up the stairs with the camera. It's probably a very bad idea. At least if I fall, you'll record it. So I've done that quite a bit. a little bit of roofing in my life, but not a lot of flashing around chimneys, it's always a tricky spot, so I'll show you we got here now because it's so wide we've gone over so many different ribs and obviously We're brief here, so which we were originally thinking of cutting this and then it would provide all the water removal properties that we need, but if the water comes up here, it will leak, so we want to cover that, luckily, on the right side.
On the side we had an extra sheet or part of an extra sheet, so what we're going to do is put it under here to the ribs, so we remove the screws here, so I'm going to put that one down here and then. that's going to go up and down here and then it's going to provide our stamp on the left side and it's going to come all the way out, so basically this is the only sheet that we had to cut and we had to cut it. to remove the water so that at the top there is a tight seal around the joint and around the chimney, this is actually one of the funniest parts I have seen on metal roofs and there is a lot of confusion on metal roofs. metal, especially when making the joint. and this is something that if you do it right, it will last forever, if you do it wrong it will have problems for the rest of the life of the roof, so I think we managed to do it 100% correctly, so it will remove water perfectly.
We will not have any problems and it will last the entire useful life of this roof. Okay, let's take a look at the finished installation, so Kevin simply put this little gasket on top that protects all the water flowing down that will get caulked. You can see the metal joint at the top of the pipe that shoots water from here down and as you go you have another sheet at the top here again. We were missing this one, so we took the sheet from left to right. The side moved here to the left to put that underneath, we tied it to the top so that the water running down hits the joint at the top that runs all the way down over the top of this roof.
Here you might think that there is a space here of water. it's going to go up there there's no way the water is going to go up that far to get in and if it goes one way here it's going to hit this rib and it's going to go down the same on the other side so this is 100% waterproof right now except for the caulking we have to put some caulk right at the top here to get the water all the way down, so guys, if you're looking for the right way to flash around a chimney on a steel roof. this is it, it took a little thought and ingenuity, don't mess it up if you do it later you'll have problems, you do it right once in the last 40 years, no that's a great day we can light a shoot first, obviously, the cabin is not airtight, but it will give us the opportunity to melt all the snow that we have up here and then here and up in the attic there is a lot of humidity here, we thought about doing the ridge all the way and then the only place where we can have some weather basically on the top, the gable ends here are still a pretty interesting thing that was first burned there and we can leave everything open, the door is open all those things and try to dry some of wood, as you know, some of the wood we used was not one hundred percent dry, so if the fires are successful, I will burn off that moisture and tighten the entire structure in the inaugural burn.
You know, she makes it nice and warm. We burn the ground when you start as many fires as I do, this makes life a lot easier so we're putting this little gasket in and it stops the beads from suddenly coming up under the ridge so it's a little foam thing with a little bit of hair. on it and there's a little thing that can be removed to glue the roof to the thing, so I think if you slide it under the ridge and then reach up and grab that little bit, I can reach so far and you take it off and that will give you allows to stick it, take it off, easy, easy, sticks, it's like super glue II, so now it's stuck, so nowwe just bring each tape we finished, that's it, our roof is ready, that was the last piece we needed to trim the tops of everything. on Fox, it's on it, it's 100% leak proof at this very moment, the only thing is that the cabin is actually no joke, it's so warm because there's a lot of lining missing, so that will be the next order of business that we will have to conclude. all the exterior finishes and then we'll have something to keep us warm.
It's actually not so bad here by the fire, it's a little hot, but you can see a lot of holes, so there are holes everywhere, holes up here, holes in the back. I have quite a bit of work left so that will continue in the next episode, I'll try to fix everything up, finish the exterior and I think that will conclude the first season of the small cabin bill and then of course I work on the interior finishes, there's a lot what we will have to do before we get to where it is an all season cabin, well guys, we have quite a few things done, we have to finish the siding, the idea in the first season is just to finish the exterior part and then in the second season Let's go to the interior that we have.
I would say probably 40% of the siding is on right now so it's leaking a lot, it's not hot yet but it's getting hotter we have the stove on it's on Kevin digging some nails here because we're going to finish the rest by deciding how many hours we have on this project so far oh baby maybe twenty days I think that's probably right Plus planning + complicated parts, maybe 25 days and so far, if you want to break it down into hours or probably both, 300 hours, yeah, it's been a project, so if you're planning on building your own cabin to do some work, we have the The fire is burning here, like I said, it's still leaking, so we dropped an egg in these holes here, so it's actually a cabin which can be seen all the way up.
There's nothing, so Kevin ground some cedar from another property that we couldn't. He actually found cedar trees wide or big enough to justify taking them down and turning them into siding, so he went to a neighboring farm, not too far from here we picked up some pretty big cedars in Milton, well the problem is that when cedars, especially These white cedars, the bigger they get, they tend to get hollow in the middle and as we're trying to do, why would we need to? There's a sweet spot between big enough and not big enough. It is a very well explained non-drug.
A big the bigger the bigger the cedar gets, the tendency is to have a hole in the middle, so we don't want a hole in the middle. so you want to get the maximum width without them rotting yeah there is a fine line well the ones we found here tended to have forks and then when they did have forks I guess water got in between the forks so They cracked and split or because they forked, they grew in the middle, whatever they rotted in the middle, so once we cut them open we would have a thick board, but it would only be like three feet long, which is not very useful, especially for our long wall. the ones that were actually removed from the neighboring property seem to be healthy and then we cut them in half and they are rotten so there goes the trick with the cedar so I guess the thinner or wider not so wide boards you have available for cedar, but they're still, it's a great wood to use in siding because of its natural water-repellent properties, the oils that it has, so let's get started, let's start building a nail, how to do it, I'm curious to see. how wide it is, how many years it has been growing. let's say at least five, count all the lines there, they're probably 60 years old at least, if not, all older than that.
These 60 dua trees were taken from land where it was too wet for them to plant crops, so they would not have This might doubt their original ancient growth, but they would have been there for a long time. You killed a six-year-old tree. Wow, look, the problem is that they get a lot bigger than if they start to rot and fall off, so we save it. who knows, they might promote you the life of another cedar, that's right, so we left the top part in the bush, so the wild animals and stuff are going to eat it, so I'm sure it's good that the population or that of Abbot increases. huge because if you look through the bush there's nothing on the ground, there's nothing to eat, so you cut the top off and you just leave it there and you go there in the spring and there won't be any of the real vegetation left. everything is gone so there are quite a few animals that will benefit from cutting down old trees, for starters the young trees suffer because they can't get sunlight so by getting rid of the top part of the canopy the light penetrates into the ground and new life is renewed. and as Kevin was saying, deer actually benefit a lot from eating cedar, they die, their diet almost changes exclusively to eating cedar tops in some places, especially in areas that are very nutrient deficient, so I mean winter, yeah you can cut down a cedar tree and just leave it, leave the top, many animals will benefit, like Kevin said, the rabbits and the deer, especially the inspector showed up, yes, no city ordinance arrested us, no, no, we are Well, this is a concession, he is what you call a framer. truck contractors, they're a real carpenter, a real guy, so he's going to give us a hand and help us get involved in some different projects.
I don't know if you know this, but Kevin is a professional renovator. I put it in quotes, no, him. He's an interior renovator, so Grant does more things like framing houses, you do it straight from scratch, bring me houses, oh, yeah, yeah, so there you go, so no, he's better, better at this than he is. That we express it that way, no. Kevin is very kind, we are good at interior design, but there are a whole series of trades that are dedicated to building houses. You know, it's good to know a little about everything. We don't have to be very good at anything or everything, but obviously you.
You have to bring all the skills together when you build something like this, it's a lot of different things and we've done all the little things, but specializing in one thing is one thing, but specializing in a bunch of things is almost impossible, so I mean call to a body to come out and lend us a hand and help us get through these last essential moments or use it better if it stops snowing at my feet so that we have the tails of the rafters exposed here and what we have to do is fill the empty there, obviously we can't have that space because if you look in, it's going to be drafty, so give us the chance to ruin the live edge here, we're going to cut it out and then we're going to cover it all the way up to fill that space and then we insulate the roof that's going to fill the rest of the space.
We don't want things like carpenter ants and mice crawling up the walls and bees and all sorts of nasty things crawling around inside, well, that's lovely, grant me, what nice border guys, well, we didn't finish all the siding, it's all still left that's up there, so what we've learned, they already knew, but it's very difficult to maintain. a warm little cabin when you don't have a door you don't have siding so what we did yesterday there are three walls so this wall is finished all the way up it looks beautiful stand over here you have this wall. done to the top beautiful and then managed to finish this side late at night to the top also looks beautiful today we are going to do something a little different at the top Kevin had an idea he wanted to make smoothies so the top half here goes up a little more and then the top half will be all shakes, first we'll put plywood with straps to highlight it a little bit and then plywood on top of that and then We'll be able to put the shakes on top wherever we want if we really can't put shakes just on those logs open, old, all open, I can't talk, that's what all the open spaces we have there are called, so First we're going to fill that L and then we can put the shakes on top, so the other day I mailed him a bunch of smoothies.
Looking at this now, I'm not sure if you realize, but we're actually a little bit shy with the liner, so I'm not sure if you'll get it all the way to the top knob, but it's about to get there. We have some wood in the stove and we really need it today, don't we. It's not like there's a lot of snow outside, but it's cold, so we have the heater on, but like I said, I'd turn around here, you guys can see me with the heaters on, but it's not heating up, woman, it's a little hot. . but it's not super one here coos Kevin now oh he's got some shakes ooh pretty cakes use the shake machine for that it got good those shakes are good those shakes are these are these are the white ash shake so they're white ash shakes hardwood, look, there's a tape, bro These, the emerald ash borer, is killing all the ash trees in pretty much all of North America, so it basically saved these disasters and kind of shakes and they'll be on the front of the cabin, so you'll have to show us how. make those shakes in Norwood, yes, in Norwood, there is a template, we set up the log, which is either in the blocks of this size and then we remove it, it looks really cool, really a very clean system, yeah, well, we will have a look at that after now let's get organized and let's start here this is really the kind of day where you get hypothermia it's not very cold even though it's only seven degrees below zero but it's very windy and freezing The rain now is not a rain frozen, more like ice balls, it's cold.
I'm sure the snot is running out of my nose, so today we're going to do a little architectural detail, so we're going to add the top bob where we're going to go up. We're just building it up a little bit to give a little differentiation between the actual exterior cladding and the front of a building. Now that we've built the cabin, it's starting to get a little warm in here, we've noticed that it smells kind of sweet in here, like maple syrup, like caramel, none of us have any sweets in here, so it must be all the sugars and wood. , that's all we could come up with to dry it because you used a lot of wet wood. especially the cedar, it must be like the cambium layer is burning and the sweetness comes out of the wood, it's actually pretty cool so I guess it's like a Sugar Shack, a little different than maple, it's actually quite hot , they are the only place in the cabin that is warm dripping down the front you, this guy has been our mascot for construction, so I made this guide on raccoon burgers, but I left them in the tree here the chickadees like the land from the interior and they choose all the fat so that he I have been staying here and feeding the birds.
I'm sure those chickadees really appreciate it. They crawl in and collect the fat left inside so nothing is wasted. take it from the other side up with that, we have a cheap, cheap, cheap, put sheets on top, sheet of plywood, I'm going to measure it, cut the angles on both sides, you can fill this window, there are some angles involved, so our top window is actually a little bit frozen and that's not good this is very delicate so this is going to go on the top section of the window I'm going to cut it to cut this inside getting a little hot that's a peak up here oh don't get a hit on the head I see our window from the loft, there's a wonderful loft outside for the circular circular window and then in terms of perspective, there's our ah, okay, I've got it, yeah, he's going to shoot it at me, oh, there You got it, that will be our attic space. here put our two beds maybe two beds you're thinking two beds two single beds one on the other side so that way you can hang out with someone you don't know very well I have a little delight in the middle and then you'll have a good view here It's this one, have it open, yeah, it's kind of a pivot up like an awning window.
I'm thinking more. I'm thinking more of a Sharpshooter window as an awning. Be sure to check the window handle. In fact, I can put one. bait site right there and put some corn maybe a food plot that will be the perfect place to hunt deer maybe just what was removable windows so I like the idea that, well, there's a deer and open it up and just Logistically speaking, I don't think it was going to work, we need a place to stand here, although that will be perfect, so you guys get the idea that we have a circular window.
The only way to do it is to put the shakes outside and do It looks nice, so a friend of mine called me, he's tearing down this old commercial building, an industrial commercial building, and he said, "Do you want to come grab whatever you want?" want, yeah, so I always wanted one of these doors, some of these little ones. plastic flap on the doors and I thought what the hell am I going to do with this thing and it turns out it will be useful here as a temporary door. What is this? I think it's a plastic door like you can walk through it but I still closed it sothen simply making comments like this is completely unhelpful and unconstructive.
I just come from where these people come from and I guess that's why I used to worry about them, my brothers. obviously, I add to this and this person is really driving my brother crazy and I'm like, dude, I have another 5,000 comments in a little folder that YouTube has protected me from and for various reasons, usually bad language, etc., like that I've been talking quite a bit with TA of Doors, that's Mike. You're probably subscribed to it too. He has a much bigger channel than me, I think 700,000 subscribers, and he and I have been talking about the community, which is YouTube and us.
I've talked about the outdoor community, we've talked about how all of these things are fitting together and what we can do to improve the community and one of those things has been to be more positive and bring a more positive atmosphere to life where we are. doing and, as you know, I do things that sometimes fall on the edge of what most people you know would consider cool, going beyond what's okay, not ethically or legally, but just from what you know, what is kosher for most people is hunting certain specific animals, so what we're going to do this year is focus on doing it in a positive way, so Mike will be joining me on this.
I have talked to other YouTubers and some of them agree with me so no or no but we are going to go it alone, we are going to create and build a positive outdoor community in the future and it will start with this video. I've addressed it before somewhere else but from now on we're not going to talk to those people anymore, they don't want to be part of our tribe, you don't care about what we're doing and that's okay? So what I'm going to do is I'm going to invite other YouTubers who want to be part of this positive community and there are quite a few of them out there, some of them are hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing and all those other things if they want to be Some of this group are more than welcome, if they don't want to be part of the group then they will have to find somewhere else to be, so you will see those youtubers join as well as we go. go ahead you know I already have our list of people that are in my tribe and you will see down below they are on the right side usually try it my tribes men tribes people that are on the list there those are the people in addresses what we're doing and you can expect us to do future collaborations with them and then there's a whole other group of people who just aren't interested in what we're doing and never will be and that's okay because they have their own thing and for some reason We're not going to be involved in that, so this isn't throwing mud, it's like you guys have told me time and time again, there are people who are really cool with what they're doing and there are people who don't quite agree with what they're doing. you do, so what I'm going to do is build a positive community and tribe around that and we're going to extend not just our tribe members here but broader YouTube. community tribe, so you'll see I hope to do it correctly.
I'm really going to work hard to build our community and our people better and I think that starts with just ignoring all the other people, just them. I just can't understand I can't understand what we are what we are doing here I listen I hear my niece outside I think she wants to come in Lina do you want to come in she says what's up dad hello come in let's go in it's nice and warm who is that who is that person over there that's Uncle Chris who is that who is that a photo of me yes yes that's Lina your greeting can you wait for yourself hi Lina that's great that's the camera that's pasting the photo of you right now you should say hello to everyone there are people looking at you everyone right now say hello everyone that doesn't make sense it makes sense yes no I didn't think about it so everyone in the whole world is looking at you what's going on?
No? Think about it very well. I have to show it to you later. You can view it on your computer later. What about that? Read it later. Do you like his cabin? at least although it doesn't make any sense why see you later, yeah, what turns off, look, goodbye, object-oriented programming, there's no cool tool you can use when you're building Quincy's, one of these garden rakes or a trowel, like that that Holden has the proof inside now. and he is scraping the top, we can also use the rake. It works great, he just scrapes the top off and then shovels it out with his legs and feet and then if you have a guy outside you can shovel the rest.
Basically, what it is. What you're doing is fluffing the inside of a pile of snow and because of the way it's packed, it's going to be solid, so as long as it has about two hours to sit after it's been patted or after it's been piled , the air will come out of the snow for the most part and it will start to come together impact it's called sintering if you're curious about the scientific term rere don't get carried away I'm going to pick up one two done, there you go thank you, you're welcome Yes, no, pants, that's dad.
Oh, Chris, you got it. I'm Uncle Chris, you have a booger. Yes, everyone gets runny nose in the winter. Your airy guy face at that point, so you'll have to keep an eye out for season 2, when we really get started. Working on the inside of the cabin, we have a lot of things planned, we have energy, they also have a sponsor for that, so we have We have to give up and here we have to wire everything, we have to insulate it but finish the walls. the truth efficient to turn on the lights we have to turn on our kitchen we have a lot of work left to do tons and tons and tons of dough, not tons of work and I really enjoyed doing this series, it's a nice change of pace, I'm glad that They really enjoyed it and got a lot of positive feedback, which is good because it's a big departure from what we'd been doing before otherwise, so I was obviously worried about changing the pace, but I found it enjoyable and relaxed. coming here and doing this and working on a project together with other people where I'm not just doing survival.
This is kind of a modern thing, so anyway I really appreciate your comments and hope you guys do. stay for season two, there's a lot more to come and we'll make these swords habitable and I hope I can spend my first night here, it's not there yet, yes it's too cold, but we're going to make up the finale. parting words why do you tell them before we leave when you tell them a story about that lock where it comes from? Look at the size of the key in perspective, it's a huge key, so this was from a job I did, which was a dismantling dismantling of an old jail cell, so they didn't make it to the junkyard, so basically this is the idea.
This will go on the front of the cockpit, so you'll have a giant cell key. Let's talk about restoring, restoring things that we will have to do. Make a summary of the cost, so I think it will have to wait until next season. We'll run some numbers. We will calculate how much it costs to get to this point and how much it costs to get to the next point, which will be practically finishing everything. Up inside, yeah, it came from a jail cell, the jail way, what jail can you say? I would rather not take treasure from the pit while you, as long as you break it up, dismantle the cells so that no one can get it. locked in the cell and as far as I'm concerned, no one can be locked in that cell because the locks are here, so he will have a new life, he is part of the archive and probably much more, a happier life, it will be a happier life, they won't have drunks and homeless people and stuff, how do you keep a hole here, well, you never know what you're saying, someone always has to be there and, obviously, we didn't have tarps for these things, it's chipboard made of the most of the glue and yes.
We'll ship to Kevin, but basically people are worried that when we get it wet it will crumble and melt, so the problem with OSB is that if you leave it submerged in water for many months, you will have delamination. inflate as such, standard construction practices in Canada, Northern Ontario, Ontario use OSP in the floor, if you take it out of the weather within a month you are in good shape now, OSP is actually considered a vapor barrier on the floor now. Someone commented that we should have put a vapor retardant vapor barrier on the floor. It is a vapor barrier.
It has a rating of forty ng, which is the only perm that put a perm on. It is an American standard. It is actually classified as a vapor barrier. Now our editor. I've checked with him and he absolutely says this is what she would use and there is no need for a vapor barrier under here. If you put a vapor barrier under here you would have a double vapor barrier and what happens with two impermeable surfaces you run into condensation, water forms and then you would have mold and everyone knows mold is bad obviously you could use plywood on the bottom, there's nothing, there's no reason why you can't use plywood instead of always, it's always cheaper than plywood and that's basically it.
Cheaper than plywood and works as well as buhdeuce plywood. There is no reason to spend extra money. This will be covered again. This is just a subfloor, so we're going to put another floor on top of it, which is. We're basically going to carry our weight and load and then we're not going to have any problems with whatever is under here, so it's basically been taken care of, so there's a little bit of moldy wall here, this is what you would call mold in the surface, so this is because when you glued it on, Kevin had put plastic on top and it didn't breathe very well.
Kevin says he's going to do a demonstration here, so he's going to do what's called mold removal, mold mitigation and remediation. You pay a lot of money for this. Normally, we could take a sander, sand it all down, blow it up and make it disappear, but when it comes to construction practices, there is mold everywhere in the world, on every tree, and everywhere it just becomes a problem . in the air for a long period of time, so you can put your face there and you can breathe that and you're not going to die, man, unless you're allergic to mold, so we're probably not going to do too much with mold what's up. in these pairs of twos and fours that we have scattered around the building because it's not a problem, it won't be, it won't be in our airspace for long periods of time, it will dry out and die, and the only thing that will be left are these little ones. spores here and, you know, smell your fingers like that and it won't bother you.
My 7th is a severe mold allergy, so it's really just that these spots are just staining something delicious and it worries me a little more. Don't stick your nose in there and sniff it just to show people you're not going to die this is my lake it tastes good thick moldy cheese penicillin like I think I just cured all of them yeah it's a fractional matter it's a fractional matter it's like yes I think one was in an attic for years and years and it was like a humidity tank but again if it's in your attic it's not in your house just because the problem is airborne well yeah in Actually, if you touch it and remove it.
I removed the moisture and let it dry, it has no house, it has no food, it has no water to make it moldy, so once you remove the water and it dries, okay, yes, it's the spores. Let everyone know if you have a mold allergy, yes, that's the mold thing, like the beak. I brought it up because it was a joke and I know I should do my job. I do a bad job. I don't do a bad job. Joking, people understand. my humor, I understand I'm joking, so it's not that I do a bad job, dog, it's like everything you say on the internet, people think you're serious, like it's the end of the world and people had so many things. things about the mall, I think instant death, instant illness, but it's like you were trapped in an attic and you were going in, you were being blown up or you had some kind of boiler system blowing the mole all over your house, it which would be a problem, you know, because it would be growing and wet all the time, but this is dry and it's dry as a bone now and it will continue to dry and then it will be locked in the walls forever and then it's because it's not going to get wet it's not going to to come back to life and it won't produce new mold spores, so the only sports that exist now and I know this probably doesn't make it sound like it's not a problem, but it's not a problem, it just kind of has to rely on us because we live in Canada and we build with these things all the time and our environment is not very humid, it is actually quite dry, especially in winter - 20 degrees Celsius, these things are completely dry and cannot retain moisture. longer and as it gets into the cabin and as it gets hot it will dissipate even more so it's not a concern and using the wet wood is the same as things being drawn on the walls and duct tape taking the shape than us.
We have given it, we have fixed it to the walls and now it is taking the shape that we have given it, so whether it can shrink or not could be another question, it could lose an inch in the length of atable or something like that, but it doesn't work. to be a factor at all and the finished product Kevin says he won't lose an inch, so we'll see. I mean, you guys can look back three years. Oh, I'm happy to do an update video and we can see if it's been reduced. but everyone we talked to said that if it shrinks, they will shrink together at the same time and most of us dried out to begin with.
I don't know, I don't know why we talk endlessly about this. It seems that we are justifying it. ourselves, but we're trying to legitimately address your concerns if someone is going to go out and build a cabin because that's what people say, like we have to do it like you know someone could go out and build these things. So they could build it wrong and then they could die right. Well, I guess I see your point. I don't really understand it, but I guess I see your point. I mean, are we doing things right for our area and what will work here.
You can completely justify yourself, you want to continue with this equipment, sure, let's move on, so someone mentioned something about you peeling your logs to avoid having bugs and stuff in your cabin, we have, we have wood above our head right here, um, now Yeah. I was an insect. I probably wouldn't choose this place to live. You can see we've shaved one side with left raw edges on both sides, so this is a crust, it's open at the top and now open at the bottom. If I were an insect, I would choose to live behind this bark.
I don't know if I lived there before and then they put me in a building. I'd probably move pretty quickly. I wouldn't want to live in someone's house. barking inside someone's house I don't know it seemed like a good place to hang out no I think it's exactly whether I saw an ant or we don't have termites so if I saw an ant and it was sitting under the bar I probably hit it and the mosquitoes came out. I would probably hit them again. It's not a very good place. There is no water for them to eat.
They probably moved relatively quickly. If you know? In the spring we could have giant ants. Giants. and Chris will eat them, how can you understand? I'm internally displaced so the same thing here on the wall it's like there's really no room there for a bug to live and hang out in that little area and there's no humidity. there, so it's like no, it's not really a concern for us, get out of my picture for a second, there you go, thumbnail, are there any stupid stairs in the way? Still in the picture, yes, yes, you on the lighter.
