Baby girl is wanting to watch your every move . Loving the walls 👏👏👏. She is so adorable it won’t be long before she walking and talking up a storm. You have so many wonderful amazing things coming 👏👏🇺🇸. I sure enjoy watching your videos
Regarding the previous comment about making noise while Rowan’s sleeping - YES, make noise! From the day we brought each of our girls home from the hospital, we made our usual noise so they wouldn’t wake up easily. I’d vacuum under their bed while they were sleeping and the noise never bothered them. Making noise really helps when company comes over or if you have more children. Since Rowan is now several months old, you may need to increase the amount of noise over a week or so, but it won’t take long at all. Honestly it will make your life easier if you do this. In fact, each of them would play in the crib before or after sleeping, as long as they couldn’t see me - giving me more time to catch up on the things I needed to do during nap time.
We typically carry on with our normal lives when she is sleeping, however there are a few things we have picked up on and avoid for her sake and ours. Being out and away from town it can be extremely quiet here and if she goes down for a nap in that silence we try to keep the quiet as she is more likely to wake and startle to sudden noises. When she falls asleep in a noisy house, she can sleep through quite a lot - such as the hammering when we were installing the flooring. We’ve learned that under any circumstances she hates the chainsaw, but doesn’t mind the sawmill and the generator running is the best background noise for naps. Ultimately though we don’t mind taking some quiet time during our day if we have to. It gives both of us a chance to rest with some quiet as well.
@ To me, sounds like you have things covered!! I really didn’t mean to sound like you didn’t know what you’re doing and I’m sorry if it came across that way. You two are doing an excellent job being parents!
Usually the advice is to have flooring / panelling inside the house for 48 hours to a week to acclimatise it to the indoor environment. That plus you had them out in the weather makes it extra necessary to first bring all inside for several days.
Here's a good hint for your nail holes and gaps. Take your saw dust and mix it with some wood glue . Put it on those spots and sand them. They will blend in and stain really well. Not like wood puddy.
Shallower electric boxes can be used to avoid digging out the insulation. Slight bevel on each end of the paneling to but closer and avoid the gaps to a large degree. Try to install your boxes before panels are installed. Lots of luck to you on this project. Either way it will look good. More insulation is possible too behind the panels for less heat loss. Don't fret too much about the gaps as moisture in rainy weather may tend to swell the wood and then you'll have warpage.
When installing boards on wall or ceiling, inside or out I was taught to bevel the ends 15 degrees where they butt together. By doing this the joint will be less visible so shrinkage will not matter as much. Putting the material inside the wood can acclimate to the inside temperature and dry more. By the way if you put the joint angle away from the viewing perspective you will notice the joint even less even if there is a slight gap in the joint. I think you will be amazed at how much better it will look. Great work - - I think you two will thrive in the great wilderness of Alaska.
I love the T & G. We had it in my favorite house. The builder didn’t seal it & as it aged it turned a light golden. It was easy to care for because I hate to paint. Rowan is beautiful.
That looks beautiful. It makes the place light and airy. “Mamas can do anything”. They sure can. Soon you’ll have 2 girls helping you Cody. Miss Rowan is a cutie ❤️. 🇦🇺 fan
The wall is looking great, the light color really brightens it up. Cody we know you could mill the woods! But we do look forward to seeing your building skills with the shelving and half wall.
Fr: The Bronx NY Hi 🤗 I'm LOVING the tongue & groove walls. It is looking Fabulous allready !!! Such a GREAT idea 💡. Im so impressed by you too !!! Thanks For Sharing & Take Care 🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞
Hello lorri & cody aww that's looking so good lorri it's amazing how the wall covering changes everything you done so well. and rowan the way she held on to that wall she is so strong 💪 a future little helper I know I keep saying it but she's so pretty take care 👍👍❤❤❤👋.
I have been looking forward to this! Way to go; looking fabulous 😊 Know Cody will make great bookshelves. He’s so skilled. (Way much better than the concrete block ones we had when we were your age)😂
Never thought I'd watch 45 min of paneling, but I did😆 I'm so invested in your family and your home build. It's lookin good. I'm excited about how far you've come. Been rooting for you since day one🥳 One of these days Rowan will watch these vids and say "Wowie, look at Mom and Dad go!" Lori, I love your tee 36:37 Mamas can do anything🤗
Look at you walking around outside in the snow with a short-sleeved shirt on! Y'all have acclimated! I'm in my house, wearing a sherpa-lined flannel jacket and it's 66 degrees in KY. The walls look amazing!
definately make noise while little one sleeping i have three grown boys they grew up noise sp i could actually do stuff seriously dont be quiet be wirst thing ever ❤
There is already insulation on the roof. It is a rigid foam,I don’t know the R value but all the seams have also been sealed with expansion spray foam,like Great Stuff or whatever.
If you want to fix those cracks or gaps take saw dust and mix it with glue , thick like putty and apply it to gaps let harden and sand should make them look better .
I guess its all in what you like. I live in Florida and am miserable when its above 75F. After 25yrs working here I cant wait to get somewhere that actually has a spring, summer, fall AND winter! Yall can keep all the hot weather! 😁
Baby girl is wanting to watch your every move . Loving the walls 👏👏👏does she have a jumping jack to jump up and down with? Just curious. I never had one with my kids but I can see they are fantastic for kids. Keeps them busy
I think Rowan needs wooden blocks from your scrap wood. 2x2 3x3 4x4 round pieces she can build her house with or daddy can build and she can knock down. 🎉😊
We had that as an option if we felt we needed to add another layer of insulation, but going through winter last year we both feel very confident that we do not need to spend the time or money to install a third layer.
I'm confused. You wall on the left bottom corner has a large hole and you have smaller ones along the floor line. Why aren't you sealing those up? why isn't there an insulation? As much as i love that your getting to this part of the home build, I have mold and rodent concerns.
Why dont you run a bulkhead fitting below the frost in your well casing for your main line to run to your house,than add your pressure tank with the pressure switch in a corner of your house. All your lines will come off of that. The only thing you hear is the pressure switch once in a while. No need for storing water or having a heated pump house. Too simple. Thats what we all do hear in Nova Scotia.you just have to go below the frost. Hope this helps.oh I love your videos.
The well got in after the ground was froze. The cabin is only heated by wood so when we are not home things can freeze easily. This is also just a guest cabin.
I agree with the other commenter about not enough insulation you will have moisture buildup a perfect start for black mold, then you’ll have to throw out the tongue and grove plus the insulation you have in the wall plus having to use toxic chemicals or sand blast to remove the mold.
We did a hot roof design for this structure instead of the traditional cold roof. Typically with a cold roof there would be an air gap that is vented so condensation can collect on the outer cold side of the roof and be vented to dry. We have foam board insulation that works as a vapor barrier from the inside to outside then the osb then a house wrap that lets an moisture out of the osb if it gets any moisture but any condensation should be between the house wrap and the metal roof. As for the inside the wood stove keeps it extremely dry and being the hot side of the foam board it won’t condensate between the wood and foam board.
You know its dangerous with the baby having the power outlets so low ? just saying ok !!Also for the sake of the baby get a earth leakage switch so if you get elecructed it goes to earth good thing to have saves lifes
Why are you quite while the baby is sleeping, it’s better for babies to hear regular noises when the steep. So they learn to sleep like everyone else with everyday sounds otherwise any little noise will wake them and it will be harder to get them back to sleep.
My pediatrician used to tell me to run the vacuum while my babies slept. I did and going forward all three of my sons slept through any kind of noise! 😂
That really lightens up the space. Looking great!
Love to see you both working together, you done a brilliant job, looks lovely ❤❤❤❤❤
Looks really great. Your baby is really well behaved. Good job.

I love that wall and the natural color of the wood. Looks great.
The tongue and groove looks really good

Great job... You guys are making amazing progress in and outside. Your property is looking very good
The wall is beautiful! Can’t wait to see all of them done. Thanks for sharing.
So nice!! I know it feels good to be getting that done! Look at that beautiful sawdust you're going to have for your garden next spring!!
So hardworking!! You three really shine at this whole endeavour you know how to get it done! 🎉unbelievable amount of physical labour and love.
I've been excited to see the walls go up, and the first one looks beautiful! I like the natural look, without any stain. Great job you two! 💜
That looks great. I love the look of the walls. Your doing a great job. Good luck. Take care from Cape Cod✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

Hi 🤗
I'm LOVING the tongue & groove walls. It is looking Fabulous allready !!! Such a GREAT idea 💡.
Im so impressed by you too !!!
Thanks For Sharing
&
Take Care
🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞
Bring on all the cozy feels! Looks spectacular already! You make a great team! ✌️❤️
Love it❤
A bevel is often cut on the end joints so that they overlap and any wood movement is less noticeable when installing finish boards.
It looks great guys. Rowan will not mess with the outlets once you tell her no or put guards in them. 😊
The wall looks amazing!!!! Stay well stay safe ❤️❤️
It's going to look huge in there. Looking good!
Hello lorri & cody aww that's looking so good lorri it's amazing how the wall covering changes everything you done so well. and rowan the way she held on to that wall she is so strong 💪 a future little helper I know I keep saying it but she's so pretty take care 👍👍❤❤❤👋.
Look at all that snow. Looks wirse than Wisconsin in January. The tongue and groove wall looks pretty. Adds more light too when you need it in winter.
It looks just awesome.
Fill in the cracks with caulking you will never know the other different.Looking real good.
Greetings from Wisconsin!
Grand progress!🥰🥰🥰
Looks beautiful! Very nicely done.
Love the tongue and groove!! Great job!
I have been looking forward to this! Way to go; looking fabulous 😊 Know Cody will make great bookshelves. He’s so skilled. (Way much better than the concrete block ones we had when we were your age)😂
Thanks, Wow great going. ✌🏻👊🏼

Lots of work but looks good!
Great job
definately make noise while little one sleeping i have three grown boys they grew up noise sp i could actually do stuff seriously dont be quiet be wirst thing ever ❤
Have to say I'm surprised at not adding in insulation. I've got that styrofoam then 6" of fiberglass insulation and I live in NE Ohio!
I haven't seen a single home with r54 In the he ceiling. R40 was the highest in a steel building.@@tkandgman
There is already insulation on the roof. It is a rigid foam,I don’t know the R value but all the seams have also been sealed with expansion spray foam,like Great Stuff or whatever.
I live in SW Ohio. But family is from NE Ohio
Looks fabulous..well done
It looks really nice so far. 💯
Great job😊
Keep up the great work
Wall looks beautiful!!!
If you want to fix those cracks or gaps take saw dust and mix it with glue , thick like putty and apply it to gaps let harden and sand should make them look better .
Go Pack Go
Looks good, guys
❤ Pies ❤
Insulation is needed!
Why did you not put up a vapor barrier?? That's going to give you issues in the future
80 degrees today here in W Texas. Don't envy you/snow.
Last we went down to the truck it said -8F.
I guess its all in what you like. I live in Florida and am miserable when its above 75F. After 25yrs working here I cant wait to get somewhere that actually has a spring, summer, fall AND winter! Yall can keep all the hot weather! 😁

With the type box your using, it must be nailed to the stud
I love how you say " we're going to move this stuff" ....and then YOU do it.
Wish you were using protective eye glasses when using the table saw and other electronic equipment.
Should of put in more insulation
Wasn't the original plan to add another layer of rigid foam board before the interior finish?
We had that as an option if we felt we needed to add another layer of insulation, but going through winter last year we both feel very confident that we do not need to spend the time or money to install a third layer.
Where the insulation?
Not to slow up progress, but it takes about 6 months for that.Wood to shrink down inside like that
I'm confused. You wall on the left bottom corner has a large hole and you have smaller ones along the floor line. Why aren't you sealing those up? why isn't there an insulation? As much as i love that your getting to this part of the home build, I have mold and rodent concerns.
The gap problem is solved by opposing 45° cuts on your butt joints.
Have you guys considered dormers on the sides of your home for more light?
Why dont you run a bulkhead fitting below the frost in your well casing for your main line to run to your house,than add your pressure tank with the pressure switch in a corner of your house. All your lines will come off of that. The only thing you hear is the pressure switch once in a while. No need for storing water or having a heated pump house. Too simple. Thats what we all do hear in Nova Scotia.you just have to go below the frost. Hope this helps.oh I love your videos.

I agree with the other commenter about not enough insulation you will have moisture buildup a perfect start for black mold, then you’ll have to throw out the tongue and grove plus the insulation you have in the wall plus having to use toxic chemicals or sand blast to remove the mold.
Leave it unfinished and when Bub get her hands on it, or draws on it, marks wont come out without sanding back
Is insulation not needed or is the foamboard enough.
We have about an R20 rating with is pretty low, but this will turn into a guest cabin eventually and did not want to invest more into the insulation.
@ thanks for the reply. It looks really good
🇳🇴👍👍🥇
no plastic?

@@remotelifealaska awesome thank you for the info!
💛🧡🤎💛🧡🤎💛🧡🤎
You know its dangerous with the baby having the power outlets so low ? just saying ok !!Also for the sake of the baby get a earth leakage switch so if you get elecructed it goes to earth good thing to have saves lifes
You can get outlet protectors to stop fingers getting in them. Give them a break❤❤❤
I agree give them a break there doing just fine !
Every house I’ve ever seen has the outlets near the floor. I’ve never heard of earth leakage switch. Is this the same as GFCI?
Why are you quite while the baby is sleeping, it’s better for babies to hear regular noises when the steep. So they learn to sleep like everyone else with everyday sounds otherwise any little noise will wake them and it will be harder to get them back to sleep.
My pediatrician used to tell me to run the vacuum while my babies slept. I did and going forward all three of my sons slept through any kind of noise! 😂
