This was an insightful watch. As a former framer I got frustrated a few times, as I always do, but then I realized you're going at your pace, doing things your way and it works and your only deadline is winter. How amazing must it be to get up each day and decide if you want to work on your projects, shoot guns, research mushrooms, fly the drone, read a book or just nap. You're living the absolute dream.
"I don't do fine quality craftsmanship" - you take things further and do creative craftsmanship which is as good as if not better and has YOUR stamp all over it Thank you very much for keeping me entertained 😊
Did that bug look at us and get the giggles, as we do with them? We and the insects and the mold was all created/ came to pass with the same materials from nature. We are all blessed to be alive.
Now you'll have a big roof, maybe think of collecting rainwater? Maybe a small electric pump to feed it up to an attic tank? Only work when theres no snow but it would be nice for half the year at least. Great video again Ryan 👏 keep em coming
This is Paul in Youngstown Ohio. I have two chainsaws here that one can have if he comes to Ohio and picks them up. I have some chainsaw helmet, the pants ect too. What I would like one to consider is this book how to build cabins, lodges, and bungalows by poular science monthly. And then Sheds, Barns, and outbuilding by black and Decker. Then we have Compact Cabins by Gerald Rowan. I have these books here too. I went to beginner carpenter school and we got as far as building some fancey saw horses. I have four by fours in the basement for some big timber frame saw horses the plans are free on line to buld them too. I have other building books for me too. I am a shut in at home and have to stay here. Am getting a jazzy select 6 together when the batterys come in. For me to ride up the street to the two stores up there. What I really want to show one is what I have built and machined right here at home. AR stands for Armore light rifle, not automatic rifle. These are single shot yet can go faster just keep pulling the trigger. The bullets go over two miles. I am willing to sell some of my rifes for about the going rate. The ar-20 with carry handle 850 and ar-16 inch barrelled rifle for 650. The ar-10 is 1500 in .308. Yet what ever I have if I made the lower recevier I cannot sell this part to one. Have to keep it for my personal use. The rest of the parts can be sold. The lower is considered the having a rifle as parts are easy to get for these rifles and assemble them. Be very proud of oneself that he gets outside and mills lumber not to many people will do this at all. Let alone put up buildings. I built a shed outback to get me to immeadate carpentry. I have one foot over hangs at the top. I did not know what I was doing either. While at home I watch other people on youtube build stuff. What this did for me was to get me to work better at whatever I do. We are in our fall time right now, the nights are cooling on off. I have the ar-rifles in pistols too in 9 mm and .223. The .223 can climb some when shooting it. All my rifles will need to be broken in. Had not been to the range to get them broken in, each one needs to be shot 200 times to break it in. They are still stiff. Once a ar-rifle is sited in just see to it that Michigian allows them there. I keep mine locked up until I shoot them. I have the larger clips too, maybe 30 or so. Some states on want their people to have single stack mags. I have no mags for the .308 winchester. They come in five shot clips. A good back stop is recommended for shooting the civilian verson of the military rife. I do have me some building too also, for me the air nailers and such. I have a air roofing nailer that I put fresh o rings in and it is not advancing the nail in it yet. We have a restore close on by here too in Struthers Ohio. On ebay or amazon search for building books. They have some good building books on Ebay. I have a little librauary and one can pick up stuff too just by reading them. On a residential structure it is recommended to use 2 by 6's the wall will be a bit heavier too yet they hold some good insulation to keep one warm. If one is interested in comming on down to Ohio, it is roughly about 300 or so miles away from Michigan, just let me know. If I cannot sell one the whole rife I can sell one most of the parts minus the lower receiver and its parts. At Ar-16 .com one can learn how to complete a lower receiver. The receiver the lower part will have a serial number onto it and one then install the lower parts kit and go and shoot it. The little springs and detents are small yet I put an towel over top when installing the small stuff so it wont fly accross the room. Try to check out ebay and amazon for building books anyways. The information can stay in the books for one to build stuff. I have the building books on how to make better buildings too. And some on Barns and out buildings. Who knows maybe one can get the boy scouts to come on out and camp some. At ten dollars each boy scout one can make some upkeep money on the place way out in the woods. Girlinthewoods on youtube and her husban has their each channels . Smokey mountain outpost is a good cabin builder. My self reliance is building him a good looking cabin on his site in Canada. Comeon something builds stuff too. They have a lot of people building stuff. The shed guy is good too. I will go now. Paul in Ohio.
Watched your last half dozen videos, and just went and started watching them all from the beginning.... cutting into my sleep for sure lol its 3:30am here in alaska. You're living the dream...... the dream I am pushing towards, in a hurry as I am pushing 48 soon, and my body has been wrecked. Love she videos,keep em going. Thanks
It definitely would be a good idea to do the morning like you said put another layer down insulation board and then nice four on top of that. Insulating the floor of the cabin it is that most people don't think about too much especially when the building is on stilts which gives you good air flow keep the moisture down from underneath the building or at the same time a way to what cold air in and how you're out and when you want to keep it in should definitely put a wood burning stove in there maybe not to heat the entire place but you can set it up with a drum and make a hot water heater out of it whereby and running the stove by parts is boiling hot water to do anything. It works by a hydrosython effect no mechanical pumps required
Ryan there are a lot of people on out there that don't understand how much it is to put a home or house together !!! You are ONE lucky Dude to do this ///with all of the things you have build on out there with the price of lumber as it was !!! YOU ARE A GREAT MAN in MY EYES keep on going !!!
Heat with a fireplace or a wood stove when you are at the cabin. and use your propane when you're not, there. Propane is 5 dollars per gallon here, and we use 5 to 7 gallons per week, (Winter time) And we live in north Florida, After all, you have the wood for it. Oak, Wild Cherry, Maple and Poplar, fires make the place smell so good, "Looking good".
Maybe a collapsible insulated box store outside and bring in to put things that can’t freeze to heat only a small 4 x 4 x 4 box for when you are away. Just a frame with insulation lined to reduce the area you heat when you are away. I’m just thinking inside the box. 😂
More then happy to help you stay out there :) always looking forward to the next video. I'm taking away so much from these videos, no I'm not learning don't worry. I'm learning to not learn and go find out for my self instead :D
Another good job you do a very good work and I know your make-believe you don’t know what you’re doing but you don’t know what you’re doing and you do a very good job cost less
Yet another enjoyable video....to the point that I could and would watch milling and cutting boards. Watching would be like an ASMR... Save the creepy bugs and what-not for those long winter days!
Looking good dude but u ned to put a double wall stud directly under your ridge beam support to transfer snow load etc, directly to the foundation... k
Have you ever thought about building a Windmill Mill? You could make all of the gears and levers from wood. Tons of videos and when you are done you would be able to mill much bigger logs. Also I think it is time to invest in an ATV Skidder with a block and tackle.
The board that runs horizontally between the rafters is called a collar tie. It really strengthens the structure. I follow a garage builder in Vermont and he has used this system for 20+ years. Kens Carpentry.
Ken would tell you though that a collar tie doesn’t do a ton for stability down into the walls. To stabilize the wall you need a rafter tie (sits right on the top plate of the wall and is fixed to the top plate and the rafter)
Again, the highlight of my week. I wish I was able to send some funds to help your endeavors but I’m on a very limited budget. I do so look forward to each and every video and am always sending kudos and encouragement! Please know that I applaud and enjoy your commentary. Keep at it and thank you.
Well Ryan, ile be so happy when our cabin is done..looks super awsome.n can't believe your so.sharing is caring.lol.actually I live in the woods in oregon.in town but town is forrest so I'm good.i like this place of yoyrs thow there a lot like here
Good move to have a lower ceiling. Sometimes I wish my ceiling were a bit higher... but then winter comes and I am so grateful it's lower... cause, you know... heat rises. 😜 Cold sucks. Your progress is amazing. 👍
HEY BUD please put a two buy under each of the gables for snow loads .i heated with wood but had propane for back up always nice to have backup . Just personal experience. 😀
Hi, I did have of my little cabin with loft and left other half with full ceiling height. Storage or sleeping for the loft. Beam going across the cabin to support loft tied the walls together and your foundation with beam down the middle will support center beam if you think you need it. My beam was 6x6 so I didn't need post. My roof was 12 12 pitch with 2 dormers 1 on each side with 5 ft wall height. Cabin 12x16 I built it for memorial to brother inlaw who passed away and my dad when he retired was out there more than at home. Turkeys, deer, small game hunting.
You could stiffen that up a lot just by putting a couple of rows of noggings in ! If you don’t have a wood stove, why not ? for while you are in residence. If you need to use propane keep it for when you are not. Martin of Martin’s cabin youtube channel just does not keep large amounts of stored water in his cabin. So just bring in enough water for a day, light the stove and thaw out snow for the rest of your stay as you need it. Insulation: If you are anywhere near a supply of reeds (the ones like small bamboo) they were much used in the UK as insulation at one time. laid horizontally between studs and over boarded it might be a cheap solution !
Get yourself a snow rake for the roof. Pull snow off the roof, while you stand on the ground. Or..... Throw a rope over & cut the snow from the roof, to let it slide off. This normally takes 2 people, but I bet you can figure out something. Maybe a pulley system or a super long spring.
Yes part I don't like putting up kickers There's so much you have to do with Being able to attach drywall to a ceiling paneling Or wood boards I used to help build houses you kinda reminded me what I have to do with a lot of work
Great look for potential ceiling. Next time you are in town get a can of Thompson’s water seal. It should be about $12 - 15; spray it on the floor and your water problems will be significantly reduced. Have you considered adding wheels to your solar panel platform, allowing you to reposition it into a sunny location? There seemed to be a bright sunny area just beyond the structure you are building. Wishing you and your lady a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
I mentioned this when you first got the solar. Get an old bike and mount the wheels on the panel supports you built. That way it is easy to move from season to season. But in the end your SWAG (stupid wild a$$ guess) methods will work and they are more fun to watch
Looks great! I know you want it to be easy go heat but a lofted bed and full height ceilings would give it a really big feel and wouldn't make it that much more difficult to heat. I'd just jump to really good insulation on the roof. Good luck!
At 20:10, having audio from your phone recording at the same time as the drone footage (synced later in post) would have been a very cool trick. I know you try to keep editing time down, but if you get the chance again it would be neat to see. Always enjoy the videos!
Having worked Habitat for Humanity housing construction for 10 years, I'm totally familiar with your skills and foibles. In the end, it's a learning experience and a good feeling when everything seems to come together. Love the drone footage!
You need to build those open loft up there in the ceiling restoring water whatever else Or put your bed up there and a couple of diamond looking windows couple pieces of glass cutter to 45 tempered and shovel in there This frame a man to do that to just an idea
Ryan buddy looking good your going to be nice and warm this winter thank goodness . man you dont know how many nights i wondered about you in a tent in the up in the winter . its great you like to live like that but its also great to have a nice warm place to get out of the cold and wet snow . so im really happy about this build . you know i dont know why you dont clear a spot out for your solar panels to get sun all day or move them to place that does . and winter is coming soon your going to want some power this winter . maybe a bigger battery bank would help to . dont know what you use for a battery bank but i know you can get used electric car battery's off ebay . you will figure it out im sure . you listen to books and stuff . lol . your the man buddy see you next Saturday.
Since we're picking nits here, I'd call the horizontal 2X4's holding the rafters & walls from being pushed outward rafter ties. If they were in the upper half of the rafters then I'd call them collar ties. Of course Ryan and everyone else can call them whatever they want, so please be creative! 😛
@@markmckeachnie4484, sorry, if you mean my quip about picking nits, I hadn't meant it about your comment. It was intended more as a good-natured wisecrack directed at myself Mr. Thiessen. I hadn't meant to seam mean-spirited. Maybe RUclips comments need to offer an alternate font to use for wisecracks?
It's so much easier to sit here at home and see ways to do things differently. But I'm sure you know more about framing than I. When installing ceiling joists, I would have put up the two end joists first, then run a string between them and nail the rest of the ceiling joists up to the string.
Ryan, you need to double up the 2x4 under the gable end to help support the Roof better ...at least at the one end where it's just a 2x4 wall ...you should have the gable end supported better for upper Michigan snow load espically in the UP...just under the main beam on the ends....just a suggestion - have a great weekend!!
90% of the loads transfer down onto the side walls. The post under the bean takes very little load on the end. It’s just there to hold the beam in place until the rafters are connected.
@@rayhuber3411you might go to 17:47 in the video and look again to see if there is a double top plate. As for snow load capability, if you watch the Joe & Zach Survival channel on YT you would see a canvas wall tent with a longer (16') roof span built with 2 X 4 rafters on 24" centers. It has endured more than 10 winters so far and last winter had the more snow than that area has seen in many years. I have a fishing shack in northern Minnesota that is almost 100 years old. My shack has a 22' roof span and was built with 2 X 4 rafters on 24" centers too. The roof wasn't in great shape when we got it (we sistered all the rafters with 2 X 8's during remodeling) but it certainly hadn't caved in . . . yet.
Hi you done well looks good I like the way you gonna do the ceiling instead of doing The same as everyone else just love it being radical ,LOL, Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia from the big island
Loving this build….could you have a wood stove and propane heater separately that way your heating with the free wood around you which is a great heat, and propane on low when your not there ……mb
You should leave the ceiling open and get a wood stove In addition to the propane heater, so when you’re there you use wood but when you go away you use gas
It works to your advantage to keep some snow on your roof as snow is an excellent insulator, so less pitch on the roof is good as long as you have sufficient rafters like you do. Also a recommendation for you Ryan, don’t let your tape “slam home” hard as that widens the rivet hole and makes your measurement start to be off over time. Much love and appreciation for your channel, Ryan. Stay blessed, safe and having fun.
Think about weight transfer from top to bottom. There is a lot of weight in the ridge line. Consider adding more 2x4s studs in the wall to help where that added weight is
Oh man... when he asked us to describe the bug it suddenly hit me that we are Wilson!
I love how you say, "Welcome back to the worm." I look forward to it every week.
I actually really enjoy when you show us the milling and ripping.. I'd prefer to see more of it

Looks fantastic Ryan. Coffee n the Worm. Diggin the drone shots n the Mycelium pics. Love that stuff. Thanks for sharing
You could make a Very Nice Loft with that high ceiling in your cabin. Winter soon will be here. Great Job.😄

Looking good dude but u ned to put a double wall stud directly under your ridge beam support to transfer snow load etc, directly to the foundation... k
I've seen many hand built shops, granerys, & old cabins with ceilings like your talking about!
Have you ever thought about building a Windmill Mill? You could make all of the gears and levers from wood. Tons of videos and when you are done you would be able to mill much bigger logs. Also I think it is time to invest in an ATV Skidder with a block and tackle.
Put 2x4 supports under the ridge beam holders - from the floor up to the ridge beam.

we use timber boar powder to mix with water and spray it on our milled lumber.
HEY BUD please put a two buy under each of the gables for snow loads .i heated with wood but had propane for back up always nice to have backup . Just personal experience. 😀
Agree, or he could do a video of him digging himself out of his cabin in 3ft of snow and a metal roof on his bed. That would be interesting. Lolol
Really impressive.
Take care Ryan

I mentioned this when you first got the solar. Get an old bike and mount the wheels on the panel supports you built. That way it is easy to move from season to season. But in the end your SWAG (stupid wild a$$ guess) methods will work and they are more fun to watch
Looks great! I know you want it to be easy go heat but a lofted bed and full height ceilings would give it a really big feel and wouldn't make it that much more difficult to heat. I'd just jump to really good insulation on the roof. Good luck!
As a carpenter, you do a good job. I'm not sure what you are talking about.
At 20:10, having audio from your phone recording at the same time as the drone footage (synced later in post) would have been a very cool trick. I know you try to keep editing time down, but if you get the chance again it would be neat to see. Always enjoy the videos!
Imagine the pioneers who did all that without the use of power tools! 😉
Guess that's why log cabins were the way to go. Love the videos man!
Having worked Habitat for Humanity housing construction for 10 years, I'm totally familiar with your skills and foibles. In the end, it's a learning experience and a good feeling when everything seems to come together. Love the drone footage!
I really like your new circluler saw for ripping
You need to build those open loft up there in the ceiling restoring water whatever else Or put your bed up there and a couple of diamond looking windows couple pieces of glass cutter to 45 tempered and shovel in there This frame a man to do that to just an idea
Ryan buddy looking good your going to be nice and warm this winter thank goodness . man you dont know how many nights i wondered about you in a tent in the up in the winter . its great you like to live like that but its also great to have a nice warm place to get out of the cold and wet snow . so im really happy about this build . you know i dont know why you dont clear a spot out for your solar panels to get sun all day or move them to place that does . and winter is coming soon your going to want some power this winter . maybe a bigger battery bank would help to . dont know what you use for a battery bank but i know you can get used electric car battery's off ebay . you will figure it out im sure . you listen to books and stuff . lol . your the man buddy see you next Saturday.
Those collar ties are what you're calling ceiling joists.
You should put some extra support under the roof holder boards. Some extra 2 X 4 from the floor to underneath the roof holder thingy.
When I was a kid we used to call those bugs earwigs.
It is a ceiling joist but it’s kind of a strong back too because it will hold your walls straight.
That place is looking GREAT 👍
Joists are for floors. It's part of the truss. As a collar tie it will help strengthen the roof from snowload while helping strengthen the walls.
Since we're picking nits here, I'd call the horizontal 2X4's holding the rafters & walls from being pushed outward rafter ties. If they were in the upper half of the rafters then I'd call them collar ties. Of course Ryan and everyone else can call them whatever they want, so please be creative! 😛
@@noyopacific I didn’t mean to sound like that sorry
@@markmckeachnie4484, sorry, if you mean my quip about picking nits, I hadn't meant it about your comment. It was intended more as a good-natured wisecrack directed at myself Mr. Thiessen. I hadn't meant to seam mean-spirited. Maybe RUclips comments need to offer an alternate font to use for wisecracks?
@@bigbenjit joist are level whether in a floor or a roof. Rafters are angled.
I think your editing skills are under-appreciated. The videos look great!
It's so much easier to sit here at home and see ways to do things differently. But I'm sure you know more about framing than I. When installing ceiling joists, I would have put up the two end joists first, then run a string between them and nail the rest of the ceiling joists up to the string.
Ryan, you need to double up the 2x4 under the gable end to help support the Roof better ...at least at the one end where it's just a 2x4 wall ...you should have the gable end supported better for upper Michigan snow load espically in the UP...just under the main beam on the ends....just a suggestion - have a great weekend!!
90% of the loads transfer down onto the side walls. The post under the bean takes very little load on the end. It’s just there to hold the beam in place until the rafters are connected.
Thanks for explaining that a whole lot better than I did. :)
@@rossclark9155 I didn't read your post previously just did now... we're on the same page was just thinking about all that snow they get in the UP....
I agree, need more support, that roof could cave in on him in a big snow storm. He didn't double plate the top.
@@rayhuber3411you might go to 17:47 in the video and look again to see if there is a double top plate. As for snow load capability, if you watch the Joe & Zach Survival channel on YT you would see a canvas wall tent with a longer (16') roof span built with 2 X 4 rafters on 24" centers. It has endured more than 10 winters so far and last winter had the more snow than that area has seen in many years. I have a fishing shack in northern Minnesota that is almost 100 years old. My shack has a 22' roof span and was built with 2 X 4 rafters on 24" centers too. The roof wasn't in great shape when we got it (we sistered all the rafters with 2 X 8's during remodeling) but it certainly hadn't caved in . . . yet.
Need to make a lumber shed for all your left over wood to keep out of the weather 6x20 ft long or whatever size
I’ve got lots of aspen, cedars and pines on my property here in southern Oregon too! I love the sound of aspens in the wind! 🌬 🌳 So relaxing! 😊
Love this channel! Congrats on your 100th video!
The ceiling that you wanted, the rafters to make it happen are called collar ties.
Thank you! Awesome Progress 😊
Hi you done well looks good I like the way you gonna do the ceiling instead of doing The same as everyone else just love it being radical ,LOL, Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia from the big island
I have a 35gal barrel up in my corner for my water. In the same spot I have my charge controller and 12volt water pump, and batteries to run it all.
A roof rake works great for snow on roofs. We have tin but not a very big angle. It works great.
Give the floor the ol' tortch treatment. That should blend the black in real nice like!
Loving this build….could you have a wood stove and propane heater separately that way your heating with the free wood around you which is a great heat, and propane on low when your not there ……mb
you should make bat houses with all that scrap wood. it'll sure help with bugs
Give logosol mill a look its something you may be interested in . Mills also stand on edge cut your boards
Awesome Progress 👍
I would suggest you put a post under those ridge supports to transfer the load directing to the foundation rather than the top plate.
You should leave the ceiling open and get a wood stove In addition to the propane heater, so when you’re there you use wood but when you go away you use gas
Hey build a 100' lookout tower next . Love the vids..
It works to your advantage to keep some snow on your roof as snow is an excellent insulator, so less pitch on the roof is good as long as you have sufficient rafters like you do. Also a recommendation for you Ryan, don’t let your tape “slam home” hard as that widens the rivet hole and makes your measurement start to be off over time. Much love and appreciation for your channel, Ryan. Stay blessed, safe and having fun.
Your winter cabin might just mean more dachshund visits all year round, and that would be goodness. Good progress this week.
Think about weight transfer from top to bottom. There is a lot of weight in the ridge line. Consider adding more 2x4s studs in the wall to help where that added weight is
Thanks for sharing! 😎👍
another good show mr
in europe we first put up the roof then we put the flooring down. so you dont have to worry about any mold on the subfloor
