I was thinking as you were talking about the angled gaps in the beams that no one should focus on it. I agree. Probably the only one who'll notice it, 5 years from now, is the builder. Or at least that has been my experience. LOL
Nice to see Sarah, been far too long! Nice white wash job on the boards 👌!! It's always good for the dogs to give up what is in their mouth even when they don't think so!!!😅😅 You're really coming along with the cabin build. It's enjoyable to see how you easy go slow with the flow, making it a project built with patience and love!! Looking forward to the next video
Enjoying the use of your safety step ladder. I have a couple of them myself. Good to see your wife again, it makes all the difference having another’s set off hands on the job.
Looks great. Do faux stone or brick for the kitchen. I think that would look fantastic. I was amused when I saw you put cream in your tea. I lived in Scotland, UK for 4 years and developed a taste for my tea that way too. Keep on with the build. Can't wait to see what comes next and finally see the finished cabin. Yes, the build never ends. lol.
Nice work in this one and that's the attitude to have when doing a project like this. I don't think my folks ever went to the cabin without some "project" in mind... They just never wanted to quit tweaking it even when other thought it was fine.
Very enjoyable video! Sarah and Beatrice are great complements to your effervescent solo narratives, my friend! Once again, FWIW, your lovely white-washed pine wall behind the counter with about 2’ of stainless steel sheeting as a backsplash would be my suggestion! Always a pleasure, Mike!
Thank you for the video; and all the others too. I really like the whitewashed pine which I dont think is as easy as it looks to get the right patina consistently. Sarah can paint. And Is there anything more satisfying than doing stairs and getting them just right. Nice Job...so happy for both (the 3) of you.
Rough sawn red cedar or barn wood for the kitchen wall with thick shelving with hidden supports. You could do some sort of mosaic or pattern using some of the scrap wood from the cabin. The contrast of the white and natural dark ceiling joists looks great.
3 dimensional slate stone style wall with varying thickness of the stone. I did varying thicknesses of peel and stick butyl backed Italian polished marble in my kitchen backsplash in dark chocolate to cream colors and it gives such a warmth to the kitchen. A black slate of varying thickness will add contrast, increase interest with variety in thickness and will tell your guests that this is a very old cottage. Regardless, go with what your eye tells you because you have a keen design sense. I really chuckled when the stairs fell down. You captured me and all of my struggles with my projects in that section of video. Great video. Fantastic!
The white-washed car siding is looking great. For the sake of continuity, I would do the same treatment on the kitchen wall with the addition of open shelves over the counter and something like a Welsh Dresser centered on the remaining wall for storage. You might consider cabinet doors with tin panels--easy to make and would maintain the sophisticated/rustic style you have going. Regardless of what you and Sarah decide, I know it will end up looking great.
Another perfect way to spend our Saturday Morning Coffee drinking time. The beams look awesome with the contrast of the white wall. I think the kitchen wall should be totally different(contrast) than the other walls. Ideas are walnut stained planks of anytype wood that you might see on a boat. Or if you are looking for more of a cabin type feel the wall could mimic inside of a log cabin. Brick is an idea too, like a gray multicolor brick maybe with some random black bricks. You can do the entire wall in mirror. Lol. Whatever you decide it's going to look great.
There are many Hancock lumber stores in Maine, one of them is around the bend in Brunswick , where we get our supplies. It's a quality company and the staff is so helpful. The whitewash boards look terrific, love the look. Some type of smooth river stone would be great in the back splash area , and built-in shelves to the right of the counter. Thanks for sharing your adventure
wooowww! very well done both! be finished in no time now! 😊 watch those ladder chairs they have a tendancy to collapse! 😳 that vid proves that you can work miracles while relaxing! 😊 cant wait for next installment!
I have to admire your Patience to wait until it fits just right.. Labor of Love..... Can hardly wait to see how those Steps up to the Deck look after your Artful technique runs its course. Thanks for starting my Saturday morning off on the right foot! Have Fun!
Its really coning along. The white washed boards are brilliant as they reflect light - brightening the interior but without the harshness of a solid white.it was fun bv to see you working together too - you make a good team.
You and Sarah work great together Mike. The wall looks great. Stairs look like they will hold up nicely now. Beatrice is so cute. Not sure about the last wall. I personally love the corrugated metal I think that gives a nice Cabin look however I wouldn't do the whole think with the metal, it needs something else up there too! Great video! Glad to see Y'all enjoying the Cabin.
You guys work great together. Nice job on the wall. I used stone on my kitchen wall at the cabin, looks great and helps keep the cabin warm. With my lab, I tell him to drop it. Two words. He learned pretty quickly. He likes to chew on everything, even pine cones. Lol
The cabinets has come so far since I first subscribed. It is beautiful and the land is so peaceful. Your labor is well worth it. Keep up the good work.
The paneling looks so beautiful nice job. On that wall you can put some fake stone or bricks half way up or all the way. You gotta have lots of cabinets though. Sheet rock is always good with just a back splash. More white wash pine with just a back splash and cabinets would be pretty cool. You can never have too many cabinets.
Hey there Mike. You guys are really coming along nice. Before you know it you'll be able to move more furniture into the cabin. A couple of 50 gallon stock tanks to cool off in and you'll be set. Take care folks and stay healthy. Vaughn
We still haven't quite finished our cottage style house. I am thinking of doing the wide copper flashing as a back splash. It would be easy clean, classy and you could trim it out with some of the nice trims used on metal ceiling tiles or even some white washed patterned wood trims like egg and dart. Always nice to have a fire safe material around the kitchen.
thanks for the update. As far as a kitchen back wall, clean-ability is paramount. I've used sheet steel, with shelves of the same material (turned edge for strength), supported to the ceiling with threaded rod. It's a bit industrial for a remote cabin, but bomb-proof. The steel doesn't need any treatment. The patina is the beauty.
Nice job on the wall boards. You have all the boards aligned going around the corner and a good fit into the corner. Leave it that way, no trim necessary. For future jobs another way to do an inside corner is a 1" or less square board floor to ceiling, then butt the paneling to it. For the wall behind the counter maybe underlayment plywood with tin ceiling panels covering it? Wondering who was the third cup of tea for? JIM
If you had a kiln, you could make some awesome pottery from that clay! It looks like perfect clay! I think Beatrice is so funny, especially how she lays on the hard floor, right next to her soft bed! Oh and just a quick marriage tip, when your wife asks if you want a hand, take a few breaths and say you would "LOVE a hand dear!." Let her help even though I totally know how you feel about help!
It would be really fun. If we dig down further it turns into pure blue/green/grey clay. It's really something. I had a friend take some and make mugs from it and it worked perfectly. Your advice is spot on I should have done that.
@50 Acres & a Cabin Nice to see Sarah putting in more sweat equity, how could you be part of or closer to something than to create it yourself. When I finish a painting or mural or a nice driftwood piece, that's part of me. The same holds true with the cabin for you two. (Late, but as far as the light fixture centered on the stove, don't sweat it because one day you will find the perfect thing or things to display in that area over the door and it will look great and you can brag about the foresight you had.) Stay safe and thanks for sharing. Nice job.
Magnifique la nature revit des belles fleurs tes escaliers sont plus stable formidable tu n'est pas tout seul tu avances un peu plus bon courage 🤗😘🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷France
My thoughts are same tongue and groove but use the black stone behind the stove top. Floating shelves out of the same wood as the mantle would be a nice touch.
looks great. I would put a couple stories of open shelving on the last wall, can't have too much of storage space. Would look good on both sides of the window. It could be for kitchen stuff or storage in general. would look good if made from same material as the kitchen cabinets, all uniform
The way your going about your project is right on. Go at the pace your comfortable with and get it done to your expectations. Not anyones else's...is that a word?...I love what you are doing with the cabin. It's giving me the push to get the interior finished in my own little get away. If I were to through an idea out there for you kitchen wall it wouldbe to go with a darker accent wall. My take away from this video was what your wife said...Yatzee!!!
Take your time and enjoy. I built my cabin over 35 years and it is still not done, but that is part of the journey. No decision you make is final when you do it yourself. You can always make changes as your needs change and your tastes change. My biggest mistake was doing many things on the cheap and then having to do them again because the materials wore out. So when you buy things like appliances, get good stuff. One more piece of unsolicited advice: always let Sara make the final choice!
Bonjour !.. travail d'équipe aujourd'hui !..good... madame peindre, tout en étant élégante..🙂...la cascade est magnifique...les chiens sont tous pareils, dès qu'ils peuvent piquer un truc!...bon courage et bonne continuation👍..vous êtes de sacrés bosseurs!!
Behind the chair and at the end of the counter I put like a breakfront in. With drawers in the bottom and and cub rods that come down to the countertop creating a buffet and the place for dishes. Unless you need more storage for pots and pans your done! Just my suggestion!
Walls are coming out awesome. Stone looks great at the stair base. I would recommend a nice slate tile behind the wood counter. That would look amazing and the slate comes in some great colors and sizes.
Dog keep-a-way = classic. Love the chill vibe.

Bonjour Mike, don’t rush it,enjoy it. Your place is a gift. Thank you for sharing it.🇫🇷😷
Thank you, I will
Nice and Sara is a great helper, she also keeps you on task.

Slow and steady wins the race, you two are doing a fine job. It looks better and better all the time. Al
The journey is the reward. Absolutely! If you rush, you make mistakes, plus you're making a ton of memories.
Happy to see the family together in the cabin project. Your video makes me feel happy and gives peace. thank you very much for sharing with us
Nice work in this one and that's the attitude to have when doing a project like this. I don't think my folks ever went to the cabin without some "project" in mind... They just never wanted to quit tweaking it even when other thought it was fine.
Your doing a GREAT job I CAN'T wait UNTIL you finish it all up I AM sure its going to look very BEAUTIFUL
Very enjoyable video! Sarah and Beatrice are great complements to your effervescent solo narratives, my friend! Once again, FWIW, your lovely white-washed pine wall behind the counter with about 2’ of stainless steel sheeting as a backsplash would be my suggestion! Always a pleasure, Mike!
Thanks Mark!
Very good job and video. No reason for excuses of not everything being done. This means more videos to come. Looking forward to that.
Sara is priceless. Place looks amazing.
You and wife are doing a awesome job beautiful white wash. I would fallow throughout the cabin. Beautiful 🕊
I love the exclamation of Yahtzee by your wife! 👍❤💪
😁
Looks great! That kitchen would look great with a rustic tin accent wall
Thank you for the video; and all the others too.

Looking GOOD and great to see your wife working with you. She's got a great sense of humor LOL.
Thanks 👍
You don’t have to explain yourself to us. You’re doing a great job. God bless you, Jean from Arizona 🐍🦎🌴🌻🌵🦂🌞😊

you guy's did a great job on the cabin what a great place to wake up to each morning and have coffee on the deck and look at the woods and landscape
Thanks Mike

Good to see you working with Sara, have a nice day stay safe and healthy!
Thank you Sue, you too!
Nice progress. Looking good as always, enjoy your coffee hound drive for the full joy of it.
I'm sure that the third cup of tea was for me... Thanks friend.

The videography of your property is wonderful. I am so jealous !

Its really coning along. The white washed boards are brilliant as they reflect light - brightening the interior but without the harshness of a solid white.it was fun bv to see you working together too - you make a good team.
Thank you!
I'd recommend 1970s mobile-home paneling with a Keane painting of a big-eyed Sasquatch in the middle of it.
lol😂👍👍👍
Now your comment was toooooo funny LOLOLOL.
Hey you know I was thinking along the same lines. Here in Missouri Sasquatch is called Momo. Vaughn
great video, stairs and steps have always been my nemesis !!!!
I like how you use your camera, It makes your movies that more enjoyable! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoy it!

The cabinets has come so far since I first subscribed. It is beautiful and the land is so peaceful. Your labor is well worth it. Keep up the good work.

Those gaps in the wood around the beams look perfect from my house!

Sheet rock is always good with just a back splash. More white wash pine with just a back splash and cabinets would be pretty cool. You can never have too many cabinets.
Awesome job! You had a great helper 😊👍🏼
Beautiful place. The clay would make beautiful dinnerware. Tin would look pretty in the kitchen.
Nice job guys, your cabin is really coming out nice for years of enjoyment.
Another great video Don't forget to check the earl before every use , keep a tarp over those hose's keep the sun off them Thanks for the laughs too.
Good tip!
It’s looking good. I’d put some cabinets up on the last wall. Your doing a good job. You’ll have plenty of enjoyable times in that cabin.
MIKE, it's another awesome video. 😎👍👌🏻 Suggestion for kitchen backsplash is to use stone like by the woodstove or Tin tiles.
Hey there Mike. You guys are really coming along nice. Before you know it you'll be able to move more furniture into the cabin. A couple of 50 gallon stock tanks to cool off in and you'll be set. Take care folks and stay healthy. Vaughn

Lookin' good!! That is some great water pressure at the kitchen sink!!

Thanks Bob!
it is looking so good keeping that homey feel and i bet yall are loving it
THanks Sherry
Nice job! Your main room is really coming together! Really looking forward to your updates!
The cabin is really looking great!
Very beautiful country side! I'm jealous :o)
It looks awesome Hi Sarah you very beautiful, i agree take your time doing things no rush i love the house inside and out all around LOL ! Be safe
I really like when they put up the large metal ceiling tiles on kitchen walls...
I don’t know how practical it is but a copper backsplash on the kitchen wall would look cool
Or Stainless.
I couldn't agree more.
If you had a kiln, you could make some awesome pottery from that clay! It looks like perfect clay! I think Beatrice is so funny, especially how she lays on the hard floor, right next to her soft bed!

very nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see you're drinking Lyon's tea. Most popular tea in Ireland. Enjoy
Looks good! As for the kitchen wall suggestion, I've always liked the look of the tin tiles around the stove.
Cabin is coming right along.looks great
Such a beautiful location!
Enjoy watching your video
Looking really good Mike and Sarah. For that one wall I would do what your thinking about doing to it because that would look really nice. Lol
Excellent episode!

My thoughts are same tongue and groove but use the black stone behind the stove top. Floating shelves out of the same wood as the mantle would be a nice touch.
Looking really good guys
Great work guys! Congrats!
Love your videos, I did my cabin all in white washed.
Thank you Judy!
looks great. I would put a couple stories of open shelving on the last wall, can't have too much of storage space. Would look good on both sides of the window. It could be for kitchen stuff or storage in general. would look good if made from same material as the kitchen cabinets, all uniform

Merci Giselle, c'était super d'avoir une aide!
Awesome work done and stay safe
Another great job, would introduce some of that cool stream stone into the place.
Behind the chair and at the end of the counter I put like a breakfront in. With drawers in the bottom and and cub rods that come down to the countertop creating a buffet and the place for dishes. Unless you need more storage for pots and pans your done! Just my suggestion!
Looking great!
Thanks for the video :-) 👍 🌸
Walls are coming out awesome. Stone looks great at the stair base. I would recommend a nice slate tile behind the wood counter. That would look amazing and the slate comes in some great colors and sizes.
Thank you Charles, slate would look really nice.
Take your time and get it right, amen. You are doing Great.
I appreciate that
Great job.. looks awesome..
