I made a Huge Mistake while installing the door on the Bunkhouse!

- Welcome to my off grid shed converted tiny cabin. The project today at the weekend homestead is installing the door and starting the exterior siding on the bunk house. The maple sap has been slow to run so I decided to knock out a little progress on the build. Like always, the door install did not go without issues. I think you've all come to expect some snafus by now. If you enjoy laughing at my mistakes this video will not disappoint. In the end progress was made. Little by little this debt free build is taking shape.
The only people who would give you any grief for such a mistake are those that have never built anything themselves. As a project manager, I have seen pros make mistakes on the simplest tasks. It can happen to anyone. The difference between a pro and an amateur is how well they hide their mistakes
You deserve props for the fact you chose to show us the mistake, when you could clearly have edited it out
Thanks! I appreciate that!
That man doing chemo and walking 😢. Thank you for helping him.
I'm glad it worked out for both of us.
Hi Terry,exactly one of many reasons why I really love watching all your videos, best part you show how problem gets fixed. I’m one of those many people with zero experience, so THANK YOU YOU 🙏🏽
Thanks 👍 I appreciate hearing that!
Thanks for picking up the chemo patient. That is what loving Jesus can do when we know him. The world right now needs more kind men like you Terry.
Amen brother.
That's very nice of you to say.
Thank you for that.....
Enjoy your videos and respect your honesty and humility. There’s an old saying I picked up years ago that I say often when I make a mistake. “Cut it off twice and it’s still too short”.
LOL! I like that saying!
I’m glad you gave him a ride…if you get that deep feeling that won’t leave usually a good thing to listen:) 💕
I think so too!
I've been building for 50 years and I still get rough ins wrong at times, don't sweat it just keep going, your doing well. Ignore the trolls nobody cares what they think. I was going to say treat them like Jesus treated the Pharisees but changed my mind. Just gracefully ignore them. Keep your heart open to the leading of the Spirit. I've done that same thing with hitchhikers. Don't know who was more blessed by it, them or me.
Thanks Keith. I appreciate the words
When you are up front about having zero construction experience and make a mistake, it doesn’t make you an idiot. You are learning. Most folks wouldn’t have the guts to tackle a project like this. Much less doing it alone. You were the angel that God sent to help that gentleman get home. The feeling that you had before you turned around and picked him up was The Lord speaking to your heart. I’m glad you listened. ❤
You might be right about that Suzanne. I'm glad i was there to be able to help.
@@TRERUNSWILD Carry each other’s burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ - Galatians 6:2 You’re a good man, Terry.
😊 you crack me up. I love watching you. I screw up all the time and now I can smile.
I’m glad you’re enjoying!
Hello Terry and River dog. Happy to see you back for a moment Thanks for sharing. Your videos are so fun and make a lot of people smile❤
Thanks so much
Did you see the news? WV Eastern Panhandle is on fire. Worst nightmare for people there. A lot of people live in the woods. Thankfully we did a fire break and debris cleanup 200yds diameter around camp last Oct. Extreme high winds and fires have a tendency to crown out. Let's pray that does not happen. Made me think about all the wind damage you have there. I hope you can find the time to work your way out away from your cabin camp and clear it out more. Prayers for all the people and first responders. News is saying citizens are working alongside firefighters with shovels and rakes to try and get ahead of it. Tractors and bulldozers are uniting everyday people together to put up a fight to save other people and structures.
Gosh, I just started seeing reports after seeing your post. Sounds really bad.
We all learn from our mistakes...growing pains. Love your honesty, positive attitude & desire to keep on learning. Never say die. Love your Jesus heart. Keep on keeping on!
thanks veronica!
Praise God you helped that guy out thumbs up my friend and river dog
thanks Billy
My dad always said if you don’t make mistakes you aren’t doing anything
At this rate.....I'm doing an awful lot!
My husband and I love watching your videos. He has learned things from you so keep up these projects!
River dog was so cute with the huge stick😂.
We have that exact same door on our home❤
That young man was blessed that your heart told you to help him❤
thanks! That is nice of you to say!
Terry! You’re a Good Man!!!!
Some days maybe.....others maybe not! LOL!
Great video Terry!!! That was really nice of you to pick that guy up. I couldn’t imagine walking that far. You are such a nice guy Terry. The deer steaks and the wings looked really good. The bunkhouse is looking awesome!! Take care be safe buddy.
Thanks man. I appreciate ya!
Learning from mistakes is the beauty of human design in my opinion ! So long as we learn. lol. You have had so many small triumphs along the way and only minor mistakes ! All the windows fit ! Roofs not leaking ! Even after the mismeasured door opening it was still square and plumb ! Take care T
Great point!
The van is River Dog Safe space and people need to understand that, plus he doesn't want you to worry about him getting into mischief as you are doing projects or chores. The Bunk House is coming along nicely keep up the great work
thanks Patrick!
Thank you for being real.
Thank you for saying so!
We love you too bud.
Sometimes God puts us exactly where we're meant to be. I'm glad you could help that man I'll pray for him tonight that's no way to be going through cancer treatments.
The bunkhouse is looking good but at this point I wonder if this should be your primary place and make the guest one the smaller one You can really do anything to this one it's so big.
I can't wait to see the finished product.
Shawn
This one is actually smaller by 8 feet. It just looks bigger I think because of the roof height?
Bunkhouse lookin' sweet. That will be great memories for family/friends coming up North. If you catch any fish in the lake, that would be cool to see. The lake looks like good pike or smallie fishing.
I've heard both! Haven't found out yet. This summer though......
Love when you picked that hitch hiker up, God was speaking to you to do that! Bless you Terry! Those meals you made looked so delicious! ❤. Bunk house coming along great! One job at a time will get her done right! Love River, he loves that van! 🐶
Hi Karen. Thank you for the kind words!
Yo Tre ignore dem haters - RD goes where he wants to, and that includes his van. Great job on construction. We learn by doing. Sometimes repeating and redoing. 😊 Enjoy spring my friend. Puck.
True....I'll never make that exact mistake again. The star needs his trailer to relax from all the paparazzi!
Pretty cool picking up that old boy.
Worked out for the both of us.
River dog loves the van so why not. He for sure doesn't look like he's hurting 😊
He will just sit in there for hours.........better than always trying to track him down I guess.
😅 You crack me up,. Terry. You're not an idiot. We all make mistakes, but I respect your honesty. The bunkhouse is coming along nicely and looks fantastic. I want to live in it. Haha! Your act of kindness towards the chemo patient will be rewarded in Heaven. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Kate!
Great video as always. Thanks for filming and sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Much love buddy..was nice seeing you
Thanks for coming by for a visit!
Great job on the bunk house. You look like a pro doing it all on your own👍👍. Nice video
Thanks bud...
Thank you for video from south ga. My papa always said If you aint making any mistakes you ain't doing anything
Well in that case I'm doing A LOT!
You are a good and kind man my God bless you !!
Thanks Scott
Looking good Terry. Your doing a great job
Thanks 👍
Learning opportunity here. Next time you can check the rough opening requirements online at lowes, HD wherever you are buying a door or window. Happens to the best of us
I had looked at a door at HD but I remember being confused about whether to count the wall sill plate in the dimension. Or since I roughed by memory, maybe I just remembered it wrong.
I installed that same door on my sauna in the U.P. of Michigan. The door was framed correctly, but not the two windows. Luckily the openings were too big instead of too small so it was an easy fix. The bunkhouse is looking good!
Oh no! First time I've ever framed a door and I think the original 2x4 on the wall sill plate threw me off.......
What awesome progress. You’re looking fit and lean - running much? Great act of ramdom kindness (ARK) with the hitchhiker !👍🏼🌲
Been running a bit. trying to get into some consistency. Up to 13 but it's coming back much slower than a few years ago.
Thanks for the video Terry !
You are very welcome
Your a good man. Mistakes happen.
thanks for the kind words, Mike.
Don't worry. I had to redo my door header 3 times. Finally got it right though!
OMG! That gave me a chuckle! Thank you for sharing that! That really does make me feel better!
Gable ends don’t need much in the way of headers. Not load bearing walls
Good point!
It's looking great 👍
Hi Christine!
River dog wants to put that stick in the van😅❤
The cabin shaping up good
You KNOW he was thinking that! LOL!
i think you did a great job on the new cabin
Slow but sure. Almost all done with the siding. Looking better.
I doubt that! Keep up the good fight
I appreciate the confidence!
Nice Job Tre!!
Thank you, Kevin
I found your channel today I really like home improvement videos so I can learn my self just my moms old mobile home moved in w my 3 kids trying to do our owe renovation single mom 3 teens doing and learning as we do more and more lol
Glad to have you with Tasha!
Just ignore the daddy judgers. You know your dog best.
So true. I love that ol hound more than anyone. I certainly would not hurt him or be mean to him.
Doesn't look like you're making maple snow candy this year. Same up here in my area of Nova Scotia Canada. There's not much snow, but the syrup is running. Can't wait to get some and Maple Butter
It's such a weird year. I'm still waiting for the sap to run. We've been hot then cold with no consistency. No snow candy for sure!
Coming along nicely thanks for sharing ❤😂❤
Hey Kyle!
Terry, your videos are fun, interesting, and a great way to get away from it all. We are also building 2 cabin in the very northern tip on new hampshire. Some we are similar in alot of ways, it's just me and my sons and their families, we have no building experience. , but we have one cabin finished😊 keep up . Really enjoy your videos😊
Nice! I bet the second will go so much faster after the experience of doing the first. Thanks for hanging out with us!
Sua cabana esta ficando ótimo vc esta fazendo um excelente trabalho
Thank you so much
Terry I would never call you an idiot.
Not only are you very intelligent you're one of the kindest people I've ever seen.
I think this was a huge undertaking and to do everything yourself is ambitious let's just put it that way.
thanks bud.....
Hey awesome job you are doing, and just wanted to say happy Easter to you and your family have a wonderful holiday 😀
Thank you! You too!
Deus te abençoe por ter dado esta carona, sou paciente de ancologia é muito dificil sair da sessão de quimio e caminhar muitos quilometro vc é um exemplo parabens, quanto ao cachorro é o lugar preferido dele como nós também temos os nossos lugares favoritos, obrigada por compartilhar
I’m sorry to hear that you are dealing with cancer but I’m very happy you are here to tell about it!
Love how you addressed River Dogs favorite hang out and comments that just don’t know better. Dogs love their dens and once they establish a spot as their den/safe house…it’s their favorite place to be. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let others make you doubt what you know is right.
Thanks Mike. I usually let things go but getting challenged on how I treat River stirred me up a bit.
Love your videos man, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Amen
Hi Carrol
Thought the window was going to fall out when you first closed the door 😂 Glad it didn't
OMG! Right? That screen inside moved so much I thought so too!
Coming along nicely Terry! You're so right about having the dream. I will be starting my small cabin on my property in about a month. Having no building experience, I'm sure I will make a lot more mistakes than you. Have a great week!
I'm so excited for you Ron! You need to share pictures when you get going!
Thanks! I sure will.
nice video you are a good man
Thank you Tenney
River is so pretty!
You can’t leave him behind, if he’s in the van first! Dogs are too smart.
I have thought THE EXACT same thing. He is not comfortable being left in the cabin and I think it's because of what you said.
You're not an idiot, careful with our words. Doing fantastic.
Good point. Life and death is on the tongue, right?
😊Blessings to you.
You were a blessing to the man you helped by giving him a ride and good showing him kindness and conversation.
🙏🌸
You are so kind!
Good stuff Terry! Both the building progress and you’re act of kindness. Take care and stay safe!
Hi Steve!
River dog looked ao proud with his "stick". I like how he backs up and seems to ponder the jump up into the van for a second.
No matter what happens when you have a hammer in your hands (comical or frustrating).....be assured you are the grill master when you have the cooking tongs in your hand. I get ideas for supper from you! Loved your prayer of Thanksgiving....you are so right about how nice it is to just rest some days.
Great video.....great example of kindness to a atranger. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate your words!
@@TRERUNSWILD I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Look on the bright side. You could have made the hole too big. God bless.
That is true. It wasn't too bad of a fix.
Charlie Brown strikes again. Absoulutley love your channel !!!
I seriously was going to try to find that clown circus music for that segment. Watching me build has to be like watching the Shriners drive the cars in the parade.
The bunk house is looking good. Interesting he was walking such a distance after chemo treatment.
For sure. He said he most times can call for a ride but it's not always available. I can't imagine wanting to be home to rest so badly and then being dependant on luck to get there.
Your a good man Tre, bless you
Thank you for that.....
You’re not an idiot! lol! 😂 You learn from mistakes which makes you smarter! I know you knew this, but others may not! You’re doing a great job!
Getting smarter everyday at this pace!
So nice of you to give that man a lift. Bunk house is looking good.
I'm glad it worked out for us both. He got home and I didn't get robbed!
Coming along nicely and thank you for your kindness.
Thanks for hanging out with the "Ol River Dog and I!
i have not seen any new video,hope all is well
Hi Steve! Thanks for the check in. All is well. Just in a weird time of year and I've been trying to salvage the maple sap season but that didn't turn out so well. I scrapped two vids on that topic because nothing was flowing......
Hello friend. I have a suggestion. To the guy who told you that you were hurting your dog by letting him into the car, tell him that a friend from Polish (that's me) advises that a guy should put ice packs on his head every morning. It helps to eliminate dullness of mind. As many times as River wants to enter his cave, let him in as many times, because he feels safest there. Much health to you.
Thanks Janus....... River says he is glad he has you in his corner!
Hello Terry and river dog wow the cabin is looking great good work Terry the siding is looking very nice the door when in good have a great weekend here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Hi Mike! Hope you have a great week as well!
Thanks for the video. I enjoy your journey of building your camp. It reminds me of my cabin build 20 years ago. Keep living and building your dream and God bless.
thanks Tuna!
First try! Nice work. Any tips on how to keep mice from nesting in the grill?
So far I've been lucky with no nests. But they do tend to clean any scraps off the grates. That's why I always Burn it super hot to sterilize before I cook.
okokok how did you cut your jack studs longer????? that would be a trick that would save me lots of money..... hahaha love your vids as always
LOL! I caught that as well! I meant cut the new ones longer. I sweer I can tok sensiblely!
Really like the siding. What kind of interior are going to use? Great video.😊
I think mostly tongue and groove on the inside. I'm not sure what the outside will be yet.
Nice choice of door, I really like it. Your not an idiot, I admire your vision and chasing after it. Note to self, clean up as you go. You did it, looks great!! I love Duluth, my brother lived there for 6 years in a cabin and had a bear that visited him daily and especially liked when there was left over spaghetti. He did lawn maintenance and snow removal. He passed away in 2021 and I miss him so much! Thanks for listening to God and turning around and giving that man a ride. You know what is best for River dog, he is a happy pet! Your place is taking shape and looks amazing. Thanks for your hard work filming and editing and sharing with us. Have a great safe week!!
LOL! The spaghetti bear! I love it! Thanks for being part of the channel Sue. I appreciate you.
Morning terry I saw your video the other day but as usual I saw you on my tv as I like to watch all my favorite you tube videos I’m thinking of buying one of those gorilla carts myself you seem to use a a lot that’s good the bunkhouse is starting to come along I’m just curious what did those materials run you I remember you saying in one of your first videos I saw you in when you got your cabin delivered by the Amish you couldn’t buy the cost of the materials that it took the Amish to build the whole cabin I’m surprised you just didn’t buy another cabin from them unless of course you just wanted to see if you could build a cabin yourself and you did just that well anyways good to see you again and take care
I'm keeping all the receipts and will add them up at the end. I now already that I'm not even going to be close. My build is going to be a lot more expensive. A few reasons. Yes, I wanted to do it myself, the build with green lumber that has a shrinkage factor, i'm a couple hundred miles from them and I'm not sure they love the drive last time.
@@TRERUNSWILD ok gotcha that makes sense
If you never make a mistake then how will you improve and where is the reward
That is so true. I do find a sense of accomplishment when I've learned and been successful. I'll never make this mistakes again. Probably. maybe........
Hey we all make mistakes,no biggie. Just fix it and move on
Yep. fixed and done. I do get tired of all the little mistakes but it was the first time I framed a door from scratch. I'll never make the same mistake again.
🖐😎👍
Quick on the trigger today me amigo!
how do you like the ryobi nailer? i am thinking of getting one. thanks for the videos! cheers!
I actually really like it. IIt is a bit heavy for above the head work but so far no issues and the batteries are lasting long enough for my small projects.
Are you alright
Yes, Just had a little slump. I have a couple vids in the Que so I'll put out a couple to catch up. Thanks for asking!
Good to hear
What kind of siding are you using
I'm using the smart siding panels from HD. Cheap and easy was a factor. The rough sawn from the other cabin wasn't available
How old is river dog?
He will be 10 on August 15, 2024.
@@TRERUNSWILD nice my German just turned 14 they are the best!
what a lazy dog he should at lease do some of the woodworking for you
No Kidding!
The something that told you to turn around was God 🤍
I can now distinguish his voice from my thoughts. It’s great when you can hear directly from him!
I don’t believe you’re being mean or anything putting River in a place he wants to be.. People are very interesting these days 😂
Nice job on the bunkhouse and see ya next week!
I think you could be right...... I still struggle with what's mine versus him. The sheep know the shepherds voice it says....I just wish it wasn't so quiet sometimes.
