Starting with Bathroom and Sauna Foundation / Off Grid LOG CABIN (S3 Ep17)

  • Building an addition to the log cabin for bathroom and sauna on the back side of the cabin. I'll use the same system with the concrete blocks for the foundation as the main cabin structure and then the rest of the structure will be made from logs. The reason for and extension is because I also wanted to build a sauna and inside the cabin it would take too much space. This way I can make a comfortable size bathroom and sauna, and still have it connected to the house as the same building and not having to exit the cabin if I would build a separate outhouse.
    Thank you for watching!

    @ 5:45 the sound of church bells tolling is peaceful and beautiful! It reminds me of my childhood at the mission where my father, an Anglican priest, served. When I was big enough to reach the ringer’s rope, on Sunday mornings, it was my task to ring the bells. Thanks for a wonderful episode demonstrating how you patiently teach your young lad life skills.

    It's a 'beautiful' thing to watch a man teach his skills to a younger generation. How a young man 'thrives' in this kind of situation. ABOVE ALL...when you teach with; patience and love. Never making hurtful remarks but encouraging their efforts. WELL DONE! It's NOT what you accomplish, it's the 'attitude and gift' you share with others that means 'everything'! Thank you for being so kind to youth. Health and God Bless!

Nick, you are an awesome father, full of talents, patience and most importantly a selfless hardworking gentleman. It's a shame that most fathers do no longer spend quality time with their children most specially those of us who live in large urban areas. God bless you for all the things that you do.

    wow hot sauna in cold winter mountainous country! what a treat!
    tri cztery... so Slovenian does have some Slavic language influence, despite it often sounds almost like Italian.
    I remember when I went to Ljubljana 25 years ago, we didn't have problem to order food in the hotel, and to communicate with people in general. we actually rented a car and drove around Vienna, then had pizza in Venice, and we ended up at Hotel Slan, Ljubljana. I also walked around at night and your country filled me up with some great spirit / energy. what shocked at that time, it was my 1st time to see the palm trees at the mild mediterranean riviera, and then sudden climate change to the harsh mountains and life threatening driving conditions.
    now I have palm trees at home, because I live on the equator.

    Building sauna is all about insulation, insulation and insulation, from top to bottom. I have seen so many people here on RUclips thinking that log wall is enough for sauna, nope, you'll need then use 3x more firewood to get 150 f heat (which is very loow for the sauna by the way). Wish you best.
