    That's terrific. I am guessing that giving her the gift of using the safety harness was the best way possible to celebrate Father's Day. Speaking of which, I was thinking of your Dad the other day and this, his first Fathers Day without your Mom. Just wanted to send some caring as we were able to celebrate with my husband and son in law, my daughter, my son and our grandkids. I hope your daughter's hugs provide a bit of comfort to your dad. Another great video - we look forward to seeing your family enjoying it together.

    I was so happy to see that you purchased a harness to protect yourself. I was concerned many times. I appreciate you as a husband and father as I understand how hard it is to look after your family day in and out, so having this cabin for a break from your normal routine is very good for your mind and soul. My husband looks after me and although I know it is hard on him he doesn’t complain and still smiles and jokes with me. We are retired now which I think makes caring for our partner a little easier to bear, than when you are young, but love is a wonderful thing to give us the endurance to last the years. I pray your wife has many good days ahead and that her health continues to improve with time. God bless you and your family. Please stay safe and strong.

    Here in Belgium when we build a house or cabine in your case ,as we reach the highest point of the roof in the corner of the rafters , we attached in the corner a Fresh branch whit fresh green leaves that we cut from a tree in the area.
    It stands upright,and we do that so that the house or cabine would be blessed and have a peaceful and long life for itself and al the occupant whit in it .
    And leave it for a week ore tree.

I too got scared at time watching you jumping like an agile squirrel on those wet logs on a rainy day. God bless you, your wife, little girl and dad. You are all awesome, inspirational and a sure sign of hope and humanity in this world that seem at times so harsh until, like you, we focus on and do what’s good and beautiful and keep evils thoughts and peoples at bay. Keep up the good work, the cabin looks already awesome. Thanks for being that beacon of goodness to so many of us. Pierre from tiny Switzerland

    As a retired Certified Safety Professional I appreciate your presentation to the world on fall protection safety. I personally had several employees saved by proper fall protection. As a suggestion twin retractable lanyards (6ft) are available and you may find those to be much less in your way while working plus they can always be kept tight against your anchorage point which will give you a greater security. Beautiful build I love your show! Marc, Ohio USA

    I view many online private construction projects where safety is often overlooked. Falls from heights are common in the construction sector, particularly in residential housing. As a member of the Prevention Council of the Ministry of Labour Immigration and Skills Development I applaud your decision to use a safety harness. There are many other tasks involved in carrying out such projects, whether it be using chain saws or sawmills that also present safety risks. You set a good example for others who view your channel.

    I won't lie, the GoPro on your head shows things in such a perspective that I was on the edge of my seat. Thought you were gonna fall for sure. I watch another YT channel by a young man in Russia. He uses a short army shovel to peel the bark off of trees. The bark just slides off like butter...maybe you could try? The harness was such a good idea...Smart Wife you have there (hope her health is stable). I realized I was holding my breath when you are up that high. So excited to see the roof closed to being finished. I have watched you since the beginning and it has been one of my favorite pastimes. I like to snack or have tea ready before I hit play. I Hope Dad is doing well...though he misses his life companion. God Bless and Keep Safe.

    Beautiful production as always, I love the Ad integration, and the tip on finishing the cut without getting the saw stuck was something I had never seen before. Thank You.

    Why not anchor a zip line between the trees going across the build?
    Having your harness secured behind and above you would make it less intrusive, and allow you to easily transition back and fourth across your structure.
    Could also be a moveable anchor point for your "comealong" pulley.
    Worth a thought.

      I love the concept. 👍🙂 Now I just need a ladder tall enough to rig the system up. 😅

    I'm so happy you got the harness. My son used to be an ironworker, working high steel. One day he had a fall, he got lucky and was able to grab a cable on the way down, luckily wearing leather gloves. He ended up swinging like a pendulum halfway between floors. He yanked his back and was bruised up his thighs where he was hitting against the floor level. He was pulled up and only off work for a few weeks. It could have been so much worse. Luckily I didn't hear about it until after. Take care and stay safe.

    I didn't think about a safety harness until this video, at the beginning, before you even mentioned it. It surprised me, when, by about halfway through the episode, you got one. So cool.

    I have been watching all of your videos and your cabin is looking great. Please know that we are praying for Mrs. Outsider. I know first hand what it is like to battle chronic kidney disease. Your wife is an inspiration and her story has helped me take one day at a time. God bless you and your family. BTW glad you got that safety harness. 🙂

    As someone who has used safety harnesses for years, I have discovered the glorious invention of the retractable cable "yo-yo" instead of the standard tie-off straps. They don't get in the way because they retract and extend as you move around. Drastically reducing the burden of moving your tie-off point as frequently. Not sure if you would use it enough to justify buying one but to anyone reading the comments that uses harnesses on a regular basis, it's great.

    Nice job on the rafters and sheeting. I'm so glad you're using a safety harness now. It also was a big concern of mine. You should only disconnect one hook at a time. Tie off before you step out onto a fall area and always have one hook attached prior to removing the other hook. Had a friend, Burt a retired Navy Chief, who fell 20 ft onto his back. He got blessed in that he wasn't permanently hurt. Another Friend, AL K. had a ladder ship sideways and dropped him about 9 ft and broke his ankle at 90 degrees. It had to be fused and is a constant irritant to him. Yep take care of yourself brother, like you said it only takes one minor slip to end in a serious injury or death. Keep up the fine work, it's looking great. Tell the Mrs. we're praying for her and hope she gets well soon. Best Wishes and Blessings. Keith Noneya
