How I make my LOG CABIN CHINKING!!

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Making your own chinking can be done very inexpensive if you can get plenty of sand. I'm making a mortar chinking from sand, portland cement and hydrated lime in a ratio of 6/2/1 by volume... not weight!!! Its cheap to make and easy to install once you get the hang of it.

About Me.
In 2018 I decided to stop working for someone else full time and pursue my dream of building my log home and starting a small farm in the Ozark mountains. It's a dream that I have had and have been working towards for over 20 years, and due to life changes and unexpected events, I decided to make a leap of faith. This journey will not be without its challenges and setbacks, but I will continue to push forward each and every day to make this dream a reality. I try to upload videos 3 days a week but working mostly alone I am always pressed for time.

Whenever you're done with the chinking I'm planning on having a drink in your honor! 😂😂😂 In Jamaica we have a saying 'Patient man ride donkey.' 👍👍👍
we may come have that drink with you..

@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 Hey there, a nice looking log home your building. My question is, Why did you choose cemet over the traditional chinking with color ?? My thinking is, every so many yrs you have to rechink weather it is standard chinking or concrete.. I know of a mountain high cabin that used to be a forestry station that is used for group camping.. the old chinking is broken up concrete that looks so bad.. I would like to buy that place for it is at 8000 feet elevation and has a 40 x 30 great room with a huge stone fireplace and stone floors thru out, rt side of great room is a nice small kitchen with windows , left side of great room is a nice 12 X 15 bedroom with stone floor, correction, the great room had a nice gray brick. The Great room has a 1 inch or 2 inch thick solid viewing window that is 15 ft wide X 4 ft tall. Other windows as the cabin wood have. A pantry room or a closet between great room and bedroom..a
Cabin has a 10 X 15 front porch made of stone and top being smooth concrete, And besides that 20 to 30 ft to the left rear of big cabin are 2 --12 x 12 cabins for friends to camp in...3 windows and 1 doorway each. Large cabin has 3 doorways leading outside.. In large cabin, the bedroom is open fully to the great room and kitchen is open fully to the great room.. would make a nice two person mansion.. lol lol. Maybe they would sell it.. needs Abit of fixing. Old out house just outside... Ok let me know about and why you did not use the traditional chinking.. Thankyou..
God Love Yah you work soo hard and what your doing is working great for you an I have know clue what is right cause I'm just a Old Great Gramma But it looks wonderful God Bless.
Looking great!
Thanks!

Nice Bro!!
Thanks 🔥
You are a patient man, doing all that chinking.
Glad Addison's Chicken is back to normal. Looks good Stephen. What a difference it makes with the chinking in between those gorgeous stained logs. Nice job!
thank you.
Looks like 2-3 miles of chinking...oh my
Thousands of nails and roxwool fun..!
Good job....hope its gonna last...
Oh , it will...!
Looks very nice! Keep up the good work Stephen.
Enjoyed watching!
Hoo Ray!!!! One inside wall 95% DONE! Every aspect of building a log cabin is slow and tedious, but when it's all said and done, you have a beautiful home tht you can be very proud of.
Sure beats the hell out of straw and mud, stay safe folks.
Yes it does
I subscribed to your channel about 2 weeks ago and just caught up with everything you've achieved. You are very hard working and have a lot of skills it's a joy to watch, keep up the good work.
It’s been a lot of work the last few years but I’m slowly getting there. Thanks for watching.
I’m impressed with your work and your work ethic. Looking good Amigo👍👍
Just wake up and push forward every day.
It's looking good . At the beginning of the video when you were feeding the goats , looks like you got a few more
we have 13 now.
The logs finished up BEAUTIFULLY. The logs with the chinking is a great look. Your chinking technique works and you seem to move right along. LOVE IT. VERY COMFORTABLE PLACE TO LIVE‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
looks to me like you have the chinking down!
Good progress! Remember, slow and steady wins the race (smile here)
Chinking is looking Good! 😁👍
I JUST LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL AND OMG YOU ARE DOING SUCH AMAZING WORK I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU FINISH IT I KNOW YOU WILL BE TO PLEASE SAY HELLO TO YOUR AMAZING WIFE AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN GOODNIGHT STAY SAFE OUTTHERE AND BLESSED
Thank you so much!!
❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪
Your never a failure until you give up.
exactly
Nice job, the chinking is looking great...stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep dry.
👍👍👍👌❤❤❤
Looks great do want work’s four you.
Amazing! I enjoy hearing your reasoning on different decisions you've made. Your a wealth of knowledge.
After watching how much work you are putting into your chinking , I know that I would use flat logs with rubber sheeting between logs, no chinking needed. The cost of extra logs needed would be offset by the cost off your insulation, nails, and chinking, not to mention the labor. Gotta give you credit for a job well done though.
You found what works for you.
Looking good
Was looking for directions on how 2 make clinking. Have the sand not sure what other 2 small buckets were
Looks good
Your goats are so pretty. Are you using a lime and sand mix for the chinking? Is that spray foam to insulate? You are doing a great job. Ok, you just answered my question ... that is the best from what I have learned and it breathes. Good mix.
Stephen, you do very nice work. No shortage of work around you place. What in the world are you going to do when you work yourself out of a job? My goodness you have been one busy guy. It’s a beautiful place your building. Great job. I can see doing the filming is a huge pain in the rear. I certainly appreciate you taking the time to bring us along. Thanks
Equal parts? Sand, Portland cement and lime. Mix dry… then add water ‘as needed’ a little at a time. Cookie dough consistency. Not too wet to avoid shrinking and cracking. I just bought a place with un chinked log walls I need to finish. The sellers put styrofoam spray in between… I’ll need to scrape it down… looks like others have put nails along the lower log run… vs using the grate to help hold in the chinking mud. If anyone knows anything, I’d love your two cents!
So you are using the scaffolding inside. I guess it is easier to maneuver on the inside then it was on the outside? It does give you more room to work with the chinking materials. Somewhat tedious but it looks like you are making great progress. Your consistency on your chinking material reminds me of molding clay we used when I was in the 7th grade. I suspect trying to get the right consistency is trial and error. The way most of us DIYers do it. Glad you offered us your "special recipe".😄😄
I just measure everything each time and stick with the one that works
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 You are very practical about everything you do. I know that you have a lot of naysayers. Not my place. Most of the channels I watch I would rather support them with kind words. There have been a couple exceptions. 'PureLivingForLife' and 'The Crockers'. PLFL is a disaster channel and all Jason Crocker does is piddle around.
Nice work! What is the stuff behind the nail ?
mineral wool insulation
Probably a stupid question but my curiosity is killing me. What about behind the stairs and walled in utility room. How are you going to reach behind to do it?
I can go under the stairs and chink that part. It won’t be very hard to do really. Just a little cramped
I imagine this is much more physically intense than you make it look.
its more work than it looks. This one wall took about 950lbs of chinking. Each bucket weighs about 90lbs
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 that would definitely leave this 70 year old lady out of even thinking about it!😂😂😂
Looking great, slow but tons of progress! Do you listen to music or Podcasts or work quietly? Have you had any misfires or put a nail in a wrong spot? 🤔😎👍 John Thanks for sharing your mixology!
I have to work quietly or run the risk of copyright claim. Just one of the many hurdles when running a youtube page.
It looks awesome! I also agree with covering the logs in the bathroom ( from the other video) . You have plenty of wood the the remaining house. Are you going to have a fireplace ?
Always interesting to see what you've been up to. Are you using anticipated quantities of ingredients or is it too soon to know? I would probably enjoy the brush out process best as it affords opportunity to appreciate the effort getting to that point.
The sand was the biggest expense. Buying it by the bag was going to be about $1500. Buying it by the truckload cost $64 plus trucking. I needed 7 tons but bought 18 because I had to pay for the trucking anyways.
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 Smart. There's always use for sand on big property.
You have your chinking “rhythm” down.
It’s all about getting a work flow established and getting the mix consistent. I still manage to get it too wet sometimes but I’ll get better as I go along.
Do you think this chinking would work for vertical logs?
Paul, the Bearded Carpenter on RUclips, also has a recipe your viewers might be interested in.
if you have a link to it feel free to post it. Im all about sharing info here.
Just curious as to why you used the gray cement instead of white to mid your chunking mix?
Just preference. I didn’t really want the white.
What kind of sand is that you’re using?
How are you treating that chicken with a wry neck ?
with a vitamin e drench 3 times a day and electrolytes.
Buy 😢
YOU NEED MESH IN THERE NOT NAILS M8 THAT FALL OUT IN TIME MESH IT STAY YOU SEE
mesh will cause it to crack and crumble with shrinkage, nails wont. It has been done this way for decades.
Looking great!
