Guys this is gonna be YOUR year, we can’t wait to see your business and vegetable garden thrive. It’s all looking so amazing! -G&R,x
Ahh! We are so excited 🎉🎉🎉🎉 You have inspired us so much with our garden!
Naw thanks guys 😌
Iv watched the whole series so far and never commented before, however, the appreciation you two have for eachother is second to none! Amazing 😍
Scott, you comment has made our night 🧡 thank you so much! So lucky we get to do this together 🥰
Maggie brought her own stick to help dad and mum build. 😍
Emilie, please don't stand on the opposite side when that nail gun is being used. It's like chain saw. Stand to the left or right.
Good advice. No need to take any risk here at all!
EXACTLY, that's why they call them accidents! Nail guns are not reliable
I've that it soo many times so guys new thumbnail 2024?? Love your channel
Thanks Alan, I will remember that for next time 🥰
@@typhoonjet6045prick!! Have you any idea how far a 90mm nail will travel fired out of one of these guns? Always put safety first. Sometimes you don’t get a second chance!!
So fun to see your walls go up! You might want to reconsider not having a window in the kitchen area. I’ve remodeled 3 homes now (by myself) and got complaints about the only kitchen that didn’t have a window over the sink. It feels a little claustrophobic when washing dishes or vegetables. Any steam from hot water goes in your face. It doesn’t have to be large window, but it does need to open. Just a suggestion. Can’t wait to see your next video.
I remember when you posted your first video, and it is amazing to see how far you both have come and to see all you have accomplished in the last 19 months. Absolutely incredible. ❤well done! Bring on 2024. 🎉
Thanks so much for the support Harry ❤So amazing you've been with us from the start! Thank you 🎉
Brilliant work as always guys, you are really getting there with it!!! I would make a small suggestion in not having the TV opposite that window though, 2 reasons… firstly your views are amazing and therefore sitting and looking out the window will be the best thing ever, also the window will glare on the screen anyway and make it hard to watch xx also means you can sit and watch the log burner which is waaaay better than a tv ❤
I was gonna comment the same thing! People will be coming for the view and wanting to unplug! Make the view and your fire place the focal point and tv secondary!
Love what you guys are doing. Stoked to see your progress this year!
Thanks for the comment, we hadn't thought about glare, such a good point. Originally that window was for the kitchen and we changed our design. We tried to order more of the same windows but there was a 4 month wait otherwise we would have added way more. All a learning curve 😄 xx
@@CampOutWest everydays a school day! Great thing is that you get to learn on this cabin which you apply the lessons to your next build :D
It's so exciting to see it coming together!!
Had a tear in my eye at that first wall going up, it's amazing seeing your dream be realised! Nice to see Maggie helping and the girls clucking about. Stay warm!
So great to see this taking shape! Well done ❤
You're doing so well you guys. A little bit of advice though if you don't mind. Noggins should be staggered for extra strength. By staggering noggins, the load-bearing capacity of the wall increases significantly. Forces exerted on the wall are effectively distributed throughout multiple noggins, reducing stress concentrations and enhancing overall strength. Staggered noggins create additional voids within the wall structure. These voids can be filled with insulation material, improving the wall’s soundproofing and thermal performance by reducing heat transfer and noise transmission. One of the primary benefits of staggering noggins is the enhancement of lateral stability within timber frame walls. By distributing loads evenly, noggins help counteract the lateral forces that act on the wall, such as wind or seismic forces. This lateral stability is crucial for resisting structural deformations, ensuring the longevity of the wall, and reducing the risk of failure during extreme weather conditions.
Instead of moving the ones already in, can they just add additional ones in the staggered positions?
Thank you for taking the time to share feedback 😃 the noggins are staggered on all walls apart from the last wall Jon did, he did 3 all at the same level by mistake 😅 the dark/tiredness got him. I wonder if ours aren't staggered enough going off your advice? Thanks for sharing xx
Yes the noggins should be a lot further apart,
Just add extra to what you have already.@@CampOutWest
Thanks Jazz 😃 @@JazzFunkNobby1964
@@jillpackard5305 sorry for the late reply. Yes they can add more between the others. It would add strength to the overall structure, especially with the high winds we're getting at the moment x
Great progress guys!
I hope you don't regret not having a window in the kitchen. A slim line window between two shelves would let Soo much light in & give a lovely view instead seeing just the wall
Thanks Louise! Sadly the company we order from has a 3/4 month wait and the delivery is £500 alone haha so we are making do 😅
Mate to brace the frame do it properly and safely. Use a support brace from top to bottom not a half brace when the weight is top heavy
Thanks for sharing, we hadn't thought of that, we thought ours were suitable, so that's good to know
Great work, I'd tie the two walls together, until you've made your end walls, it will make it more stable if it's windy.
Oh great idea! Thanks for the tip :)
Wow it’s starting to take shape so quickly.
Watching you both work so well together is lovely.
I can’t wait for the next update ❤
Thanks Richard 🥰 Excited to show you what we get up to next week 🎉
I am so very very happy for the both of you! I’ve been watching you since day one and my goodness look how far you guys have come And how far along you have gotten. The building of the walls was a treat to watch! my goodness such precision and then, when you two were lifting up that first panel I was so worried! those are heavy, heavy heavy heavy! So happy to see your pup more can’t wait to see what’s next! Thank you for continuing to share your experiences.
Happy 2024 and briliant work your two. I couldn't help but see a Buster Keaton moment at 14:40 when you shared a lovely moment. The wall falls and you are right where the window is. Then walk off oblivious to the near miss! Looking forward to seeing you in your new tiny home. 😃😃😎😎
At last I’ve subscribed! Been watching since beginning, love your videos/ blogs whatever you call them.
Totally love all your recycling ethics with this project, and love your hats
Happy 2004! So good to see how well things are progressing with your build. You’re such a great team working together and that makes all the difference 😊. An apex roof sounds like a great idea, much better than a flat roof considering the rainfall you get. I’m sure you’ve considered a rain collection system too, could be handy for the toilet flush saving water. Maggie still living her best life!❤
Maggie really is living her best life 🥰 Yes we would love to have a rain collection system, especially for watering veggie garden 🥰
Yes, great for your veggies!😊
2004? Lol
Hi you two🎉 Absolutely amazing progress, well done. Jon this could be the start of a new career for you building cabins. 😃😃 Tony ❤
Happy New Year Tony!!! Isn't Jon amazing🥰🥰🥰
Can’t believe it’s been 19 months. Wow, you’ve done so much in that time and we feel privileged to follow you on your adventure.
Thanks for joining us on this mourning Chris 🥰
Well done guys. It's coming on a treat!
The best feeling waking up this morning and looking out side to see the walls! 😄
Fantastic work guys. love the pace of your videos, humble and informative.
Thanks so much Ray 💛 Glad you enjoy watching 😊
Hello from southern Indiana from the hoosier national forest. I love your youtube channel, but please bump up your volume output. I have to really strain to hear you. I am happy to see your progress .
Happy 2024 Jon and Emilie! Been following your journey since the camp site was a bunch of run down old caravans now it's very nearly a beautiful glamping site complete with a cabin! I was so excited to see the walls go up! Well done you both for lifting that as I could imagine it was very heavy aha
Always have a smile on my face whenever I watch as you both have such a positive aura about every challenge you face, and that gives me the confidence to do the same with my life which is hard because of the mental health struggles I face every day.
Bless you both and the adorable Maggie ❤
Josh, Happy New Year ❤ We are so pleased we decided to film this journey, it's amazing looking back at the earlier videos and seeing how much the land has changed from them to now. It's not something we've spoken about in our videos before but we both struggle with our mental health a lot too, we find it comes in waves. Just know you you are not alone ❤ somedays we have days where it gets to much and we end up staying in bed all day and that's ok, we take it day by day and on days when our brain tells us 'no' or we 'can't' do something we try are best to challenge those thoughts and we always end up surprising ourselves and remembering that we are more 'capable' than we ever thought. So next time the grey clouds come, just remember us cheering you on! You got this 🎉 We hope you know how amazing you are! Emilie, Jon & Maggie xxx
@@CampOutWest thank you Emilie, Jon and Maggie. Your channel is perfect for me because it helps me relax and helps me forget things that would make me panic or stress. I really am hoping when im able to travel myself, its on my bucket list to visit the camp when its complete:)
So happy to hear our videos help you relax ❤ @@joshfairweather97 we would love that!
Love the way you two work together! You are both well suited! Plus you always go the extra mile to make things right.So happy to see another video!
Thanks so much Ann 💛 We were best friends and house mates for nearly 3 years before we became a couple so we think that's why we work so well together as we had that foundation first. Feel very lucky we get to do this together!
Great job you two 👍. Maggie is beautiful and so happy with you 🐶
So happy for you both to be seeing your dream come true
Thanks Jan 🥰 she is our dream girl ♥
It will be good to have more regular or longer videos in the future.
We are excited to get more regular content our now we have some dry weeks ahead of us 🎉
Looking forward to seeing you both in a more comfy home…
Writing from Columbus OHIO USA
Walls up! This must be a brilliant feeling, well done!
Thanks Caroline🧡 It was so exciting waking up this morning and seeing them outside the caravan window 🧡
Bloody long time coming!!!!
Brilliant, I have fired over an email with some detailed thoughts from an engineers view point on the roof etc. Good to see Maggie getting long overdue airtime and you can see how much she is loved and how much she enjoys the whole lifestyle, I did have a good laugh and how the hens were totally unfazed by her presence, total utter contempt from them saying we got more important things to do than worry about you. Brilliant work, brilliant progress. Jo
Thanks so much Jo! When Jon gets back later I will go over the email with him. Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us and share your knowledge ❤ haha the girls are so unfazed on Maggie! IT's so funny, she loves them so much (I say LOVE but I think I mean 'triggered' hahaha) xxx
No rush on the email, just heard your shout out for guidance on the roof build. Here for the two of you as required and will help out as much or as little as you need. Maggie just shines with all the love and happiness you both provide for her.@@CampOutWest
lovely to see it progressing so well!
We really feel like we are getting somewhere now 🥳
Hi guys, been watching your videos from the beginning, really enjoy them, can't wait for your walls all up an roof on then the fun begins.
Oh wow guys ive missed the last 3 videos due to ill health, so having a night catching up on your story, you've done so well. i love how you have really thought it all through abd have done so much, well done to both of you, maggy looks like shes enjoying her life on the land keep up the goid work guys as always big kiss for maggie xxx
Wow! Looks like the starting of a real home. Having the TV opposite that large window will throw light onto the TV causing you to close any window coverings and you will have your backs to the beautiful view. Could you put the TV on the window wall in between the window and the door with a TV bracket to angle the TV. The sofa could then go opposite the window to enjoy the views/ sunsets etc. Just an idea. Maggie is adorable. Really inquisitive with the chickens, but they don’t seem to be worried by her. Can’t wait to see more. Good luck with the build. Dave Birmingham.
So pleased for you, its great to see the walls going up and listening to your plans it's definitely going to be a good year for you both .
All the best Martin
Thanks Martin! So excited for this year 🧡 I'm excited to see if we manage to do all our goals!
Absolutely love your style, especially the hats. Greetings from Penrhiwllan
How exciting!! Amazing what wall frames can do, it starts to feel like a real space. You are doing so well! 🎉 Love the chats between the two of you being so excited with your project ❤
It was so exciting waking up and looking out the caravan window to see the walls up 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I always think with any 'diy' job preparation takes the longest, and the better the job you do, shows in the finish, you have done an amazing job prepping the site , the outcome can only be equally as amazing 🤩
Oh this is so exciting ❤ I can't imagine you you feel!! So pleased to see your home rising up so majestically. Wishing you all the very best for 2024.
Thanks so much Jayne! 🥰 Such an amazing feeling waking up and seeing the walls up this morning!
Happy New Year and Congratulations on the walls going up. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings for you. Cheers from Carol in Australia.
Thanks so much Carol! The biggest Happy New Year to you too! ❤❤
When building headers and lam beams, builders like to use Liquid Nails to add strength.
It’s going to be amazing, so excited to see it progress! Suggestion though, it’s all about the views! Floor to ceiling window in the living room would maximise it and you’d want the sofa facing it. 💚 on the kitchen side a long narrow horizontal window just above worktop height would still allow open shelving and you’d get to see your amazing veggie garden. Obvs your home so you do you, but just from someone who’s been there and worn the t-shirt 😉 Keep up the hard work, it’s inspiring to see :)
That's exactly what I was going to say but I was thinking a single bay vertical over the kitchen sink that way they wouldn't have to reframe. They're going to want that light in the kitchen and be able to see the garden.
Thanks you 🎉 Really feel like we are getting somewhere now. So the window we are using in the living area was actually bought and measured for the kitchen space originally. We ordered the windows a year ago when they were in the Black Friday sale and it's only now we are building we are wishing we ordered slightly different windows. As we have the big 2mx2m window by the bed we didn't think we needed a window in the living area but then a few weeks ago we thought the front of the cabin would look weird without a window at the front, so decided to move the kitchen window and use it in the living area 😅 in a dream world we would have bought an additional window but they had a 3-4 month wait and the delivery was £500 alone 😅 so decided to make do with what we had already. We have talked about adding a skylight above the kitchen, but we will also have the front door opposite which is all glass 😊
I agree, if I'm having a holiday in the country, my priority probably won't be the telly, so I'd also love to see the sofa facing the window/view. Maybe the tv could be off to the side (with a tilt-arm if needed?)
I ordered AG1. Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks
Superb. I truly do love your video's and look forward to watching them and to see how well you are doing. It was a huge pleasure to have met you along with the fact i am watching this with a cup of your coffee which is very nice indeed. Keep up the good work, especially the 'boring' technical elements because no one really explains why each component is important. The style of video's you are doing are by far the best for novices to be able to feel more confident in trying something new. All the best for 2024.
We hope our paths cross again, it was lovely meeting you at the popup and we loved your video on the Liveration channel! We were so excited when we saw it on our homepage 😀🥰 Happy New Year! xx
@@CampOutWest Thank you for your kind words. And hopefully yes we do cross paths again. Keep up your good work.
Your excitement is priceless after all this time you’re getting so close to move in.
Thanks Robert! Very excited we have another dry week ahead of us so we can keep up with the progress 🥳
So exciting seeing it come together well done
It really doesn't feel real! 😄
@@CampOutWest once that roofs on you guys will be moving in there in no time 👌
Brilliant progress and great to see you pushing forward and realising your dream, this year will be magnificent for all 3 of you. Have a great successful build week.
Thanks Gary! WE were putting up the other 2 walls today! So exciting!
Wow amazing progress, so excited for the finished home.
Thanks so much! WE are so excited too 🥰
Great progress! Superb filming too. Love the drone shots while putting up the wall! Good luck for 2024!
Thanks so much Fabian. Our new drone is just so much easier to use for the Ariel shots so I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
It's really hard to believe that it has been nineteen months, where has the time gone? I can still remember your first video. It's going to be a great year for both of you.
ah thanks so much for supporting us since our first video! 😃😃
Good going! Looks like you're getting excited and I'm excited for you.
Thanks Bill! We are so excited🥰
Just watched your latest video. See you working so hard . Don't know if you remember some time ago I mentioned to you a channel called Ship Happens? Where Gemma and Simon are restoring a WW2 ship. Well!! Just an idea!. They have patreons helping them out sometimes and make a day of it. Have you ever thought of doing something like that? Not me sad to say! Too old and knackered that's me. Lol. Worth a thought though. Maybe?
Great way to start the New Year. The walls look fantastic. You must be getting excited as progress happens.
It was so nice waking up this morning and looking out the caravan window to see the walls 🥰
i too would favour an apex roof. if you're going the self build route, set up a jig and production line so that all the angles are cut at the same time and are consistent, and then using the jig nail it all together using truss plates. wishing you both all the best, good luck and keep up the hard work, love your videos 🥰
Thanks for the suggestions 😃
Hi Guys, I would add extra supports/noggins to the areas where you intend to hand heavy items such as TV or shelves. Will help significantly during install later down the line. Good luck! 👍
Some amazing progress and another great video, always gets my full attention. 😊
Really can't believe they are up! I think this is our favourite video yet 🥰 walls plus Maggie, what more could you want 😃
@@CampOutWest Maggie is living the dream!
Hi guys, How well you are doing it is always a pleasure to see how you are getting on with the build first class, You take care of yourself and stay safe ❤.
I love your dog. We have always had poodles. One runty toy black poodle thought she was a giant wolf hound and stalked our chickens relentlessly just like your dog. For two hours a day she ran round and round their run. It got to the stage where the chickens would climb on top of their coup to get a better view of her running around… poodle tv. They would run with her around clucking and squawking. It was very entertaining. I love having pets.😊
Happy New Year to you both! A bit late i know. The cabin is coming along so well.. you are doing a great job. Today 14th Jan is my 69th birthday .. im spending it recovering from a bout of the flu. Happy to see your video come up.
Happy Birthday Gail! We feel honoured you chose to spent part of your birthday writing to us and watch our video. We hope you have an amazing day and you feel better soon ❤❤
Robin Clevett is a fantastic chippy who has great videos explaining how to pitch a roof and tips and techniques. He's here on RUclips. Lovely to see the progress of your build and so nice to see the care and attention you're putting in to it.
Thanks for the tip Helen 🥰 we will look him up!
Just something to consider with the tv and window being on oversite walls, you'll probably have a heck of a reflection in the tv when sitting on the sofa based on what you guys showed, Just a thought!
Love what you guys are doing keep it up!
Cofion o'r Gogledd!
Hey Team,if you want a load of good tips watch the drewbuilds stuff building a Tiny home.I am sure you will pick up tips about the window openings and wrapping the building etc.I am 31 mins in to a 1:41 program,good luck with this project👍😊🥰
so cool to see this - been watiching for ages love what you have done...!
Well done guys ,happy new year xx
thank you for another great video. I hope the weather stays dry so you are able to get complete more of the tiny house. really looking forward to the next video. keep up the great work.
Guys this is absolutely amazing project and you are the master.
About the roof, I would recommend GRP roofing .
It is very good and very light , long lasting with beautiful finish around the cabin.
Can’t wait to see the end result.
Thanks for sharing and all the best.
Thanks for the suggestion, have you got any links to that type of roof? all i can see is the grp cllear roofing sheets? is that what you mean or do they do dark/opaque sheets too? we were just thinking of black corrugated steel roofing
Amazing how far you’ve come. You must be so excited to see your home coming together. Well done x
Yes nice progress hope the cold goes soon so you can crack on ! Little john from chichester
Definitely go apex for the roof. For the ammount of rain we get I think you need a good pitch on it.
Its going to be amazing, so excited for you x
Great progress! Very curious to see what the tiny house will be like when it's done. Can't wait to see how the land will come together this year. Enjoy the progress, as it seems the pace will be picking up from here, now that you see your plans coming to life!
Thanks Ali! We have another dry week ahead of us too, so we are excited to see what we can get done 🥳🥳🥳
Lovely to see the progress guys. Well done to you both 👍🏻
Thanks so much Paul! Such an amazing feeling seeing the walls up 🥳🥳
Wow well done. Hope you are feeling better Emilie 🥰
Happy New Year to you both, I can’t wait to see what this year brings ❤
I love the slightly awkward intros, not sure what do with your hands, standing in front of the camera, one trick to feel and look more natural is to always hold your hands in front of your body in sort of a v-shape (not clasped together) and then use them to emphasize the things you're saying, an alternative is to simply sit down and present it that way. But you guys do what makes you comfortable and how you like to present best; the videos and progress are awesome and I'm very happy to be able to follow your awesome progress and excellent videos which are both informational and relaxing. Much love and best wishes for an absolutely fantastic 2024!
Happy New Year
Welcome back!! 🫂🫂🫂🫂
Congrats on your progress! It's really wonderful seeing your videos, they are really well-made and you two are just amazing :)
Awesome work, both of you. You stuck with it. Can’t wait to see you move in this year.🎉
Hello guy's from Nocatee Florida I've been watching your journey for over a year now. It's amazing how well you two work together crack on for this new year can't wait to see your home finally finished.
Hugh💪😎🇺🇸
Happy New Year you two. Fabulous to see what you have done. Congratulations.
Happy New Year Colleen ❤ thank you so much!
So exciting ❤
Happy New year it's great to see the cabin coming together ❤
Happy New Year Nelle ❤ can't believe the first walls are up 🥰
Thanks for the video. We Welsh Americans are watching too! Al\ways like to know what happens in Wales.
Love to see the walls up so heavy 👏👏👏, now waiting for the next walls and the roof, so exciting to wait on, here in Belgium also a cold dry week, but now lots of rain and little snow but not staying, because not to far from the sea, greetings and blessings and a lot of strength
Can't believe they are up! Such a pinch me moment. So excited to get another video up next week 🎉
This tiny home is going to be amazing, it's quite a good size. So exciting 😁 👏💕💕💕
I just discovered you and I am so happy! Thanks for sharing your journey with us ❤
A thought: Put the sofa on the other side so guests can sit and see outside. The TV doesn’t need to be the focus if you have all this amazing view to show off!
Great to see the progress, let’s hope the weather stays in favour
Looks like we've got another week of it 🎉
Happy New year to you all I hope its a prosperous, healthy and adventures one for you, its all starting to come together so keep up all your hard work and you will get your just rewards.😊😊
What a wonderful start to the new year. I held my breath as you lifted those walls. Good work! I enjoy your channel so much.
Thanks so much Jeanne! I was so worried about dropping them 🤣 can't believe they are up 🎉🎉
I love watching you both. Your videos and the progression you have done is so great. Cant wait for the next video.x
Thanks so much Rachel! Excited to show you what we get up to next 🥰
@CampOutWest can't wait for the next video. Will def want come to glamp.🏕🏕🏕
Excellent now the walls are going up well done with all the poor weather you have had. Happy new year.
Thanks so much Bob! We have another dry week coming, we are so excited to crack on 🥳
Happy New Year Jon and Emille. Your tiny home (not so tiny 👌) is coming on wonderful. Lovely to see your personalities coming out too. Especially when you were uprighting the first 2 walls. Keep safe and stay healthy 👍 Cheers Paul & Vanessa 👌
Happy New Year both 🥰 thank you for saying that! This video was the first time we've just left the microphones on/recording as we are working nd I think it made the footage more natural
Awwww you two are so sweet. Great job
🥰🥰🥰
Love your progress and I can see your dream coming together this year! Good for you!
Thank you so much 😃😃
Happy new year ,,🥂 , wind and bad weather ahead , make sure stud work is secure fix temporary timbers to hold it,, dogs loving its surrounding ,, hard hat area maybe for roof timbers, the higher you build,the wind has more leverage on the build ,always a pleasure to see you bothe,cant wait for the next vid 😊
Thanks Neale, happy new year to you too! Thanks for the tips, we will make sure to ad more supports! We love seeing Maggie loving her home 🥰
Looking really good fair play.
Can't believe how big it looks! 😍
Getting on with it 😊. I enjoy framing buildings as you can see progress quickly. Happy new year.
I love watching Jon work, he is in his element 🥰
It's looking fab. Well done plodding on in the cold x
Thanks Andrea! we had our thermals on under our clothes haha! x
Great job on your journey. It's starting to shape up nicely.
Thanks James, we really feel like we are getting somewhere now
