Hi Diego, I can see your thought process on how to get a long standing problem corrected. Since I was stationed on Kodiak I know how rain affects not only your day to day but also how it affects your home. You definitely need to get up off of grade and use materials that drain away water but don’t wick water up into your structural support system. I’m trying to remember if Sitka gets more rain than you. Also not being wasteful and only gathering the materials that you need is one of the reasons why I watch your videos. One step at a time, stop smell the blessings that life has given you and then proceed. How’s your nice neighbor been doing have you checked in to see if anything can be done? That’s another thing that I like about this channel being kind and helpful. Great Videos, Thank You 🙏, and remember your drainage grades!! Lol!!!
I enjoy your channel so much. Your cabin is coming alone fine. Saving money is the name of the game, and that's what you are doing. The learning experience is priceless.
As you call the "rant" is the process I am. Thank you for including the confidence and capability factor. This is why I keep watching while learning so much.
Diego as far as you gutter goes your better doing it in sections and jointing it together. this allows for expansion and contraction as well just keep a grade on you gutter of about 1/4 to 3/8 in to prevent standing water use Gutter Sealant at your joints and around your drains as well on the inside use a Hanger for your sections and a Ferrel inside from front to rear to attach your gutters and keep them a consistent open width wise as well.....do a search for SMACNA Standards for gutter and you will get an AI briefing you what you need to do.
Hi from Australia, love your channel. your content is always very interesting and easy & relaxing to watch. Im one month older than Al your neighbour so i can relate to ageing problems. many thanks to you for sharing your friendship with Al & Al's honest reply's in your interviews. Myself, I am much like Al as im living on my own, but i commend you for going out of your way to unselfishly offer so much help to your neighbour Al. The world needs more people like you in these difficult times. Cheers Mate😎👍👍
Regarding the full wrap around guttering. You can 100% do it yourself. Just like you did with the partial guttering. There's no need for "one piece" guttering like you mentioned. You can do it in sections with connectors. It's not too difficult. I think I even advised doing this in your original guttering video.
when we lived in the mountains, our main source of heat was the fireplace, under the fireplace were pipes that were connected to smaller pipes that lead to the bedrooms and bathroom to the panel radiators. this system kept all the rooms warm.
Diego...YOU ARE THE MAN!!💪 I'll be 71 next month, and to watch your videos of every thing you do up there is beyond words!! STAY YOUNG!! KEEP AT IT!!👍Remain safe and God Bless you and yours!🙏
Diego your allowed to rant it’s your show remember.😁it a lot of hard work,line upon line.little by little.Glad you had precious time with the lovely Julia.Say hi to her.🥰👍
Keep up the excellent work, stay focused and dedicated. You’re doing great! Everything will come together when it’s suppose to. We all have doubts, push past all that and leave it behind.
not sure if your planning on packing more gravel in pails or not but a square hoop will help pack two pails at a time, you can google it . water carrying hoops , when i was a kid we packed water from a well using a square hoop made out out 2x2 wood or close to that dimension . if you make one put it in your video and let us know if it was worth it . i know gravel is probably a bit heavier then water but should still work . keep up the good work bud ! Jason here , from newfoundland but living in northern British Columbia the last 22 years, cheers
thanks you you are living in nice place mountains lakes forests I like your videos btw I'm learning english while watching your videos eventually I'll go to Washington as a tourist an look at those places by myself
Never known a gutter to be in one piece. Where I am you buy the lengths you can transport and joiners that just clip the sections together 100% water tight. Maybe things are different in the USA ? But that's how almost every house/building/shed is done here in England. keep up the good work Diego looking forward to the next vid.
Exactly my thoughts - to save money you can buy plastic ones and bind them together, I'm sure the US has them too. In any case, gutters are cheaper than moldy rotting house.
In the U.S. a gutter contractor can come on site and make continuous run gutters and cut any length needed. To your point most building supply stores sell gutter sections and down spouts.
Use the metal, you can order in any length you want… no waste. Personally, I’d run the metal vertically from skirt to soffit.. at least on the back side. Can’t wait to see you progress on this project.
hey, just a tip, buy a IBC container, cut the top of, use the plastic part to transport wood/gravel/sand and the metal part as a wood drying rack. I cut my IBC on the exact hight of my truck bed cover.
Diego if your interested in any shale/flagstone type rock to make a walkway or something you can find it over on the Adams side off curly creek. IIRC the turn off is close to that big log you cut up the other day, but it's been many years since I revisited the spot, despite me being out there hunting and foraging every year.
Gotta watch when carrying the buckets of gravel as if you get into an emergency situation and have to brake the pails will come flying forward and wreck the front of your truck box. Do not ask me how I know this but after I put a 2x6 in the ear groves of the truck box sides to make a little separate area at the tailgate of the box.
Just recently found your channel. Very much enjoy your content. Love how you use all your PPEs. Most channels don’t. I’m 61 and feel the same as you. If I can do it I’m going to. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing!!
I thought building up north the foundation should be around 3 ft down, below the frost line. Your foundations are all at ground level, would frost heave or settlement be an issue later?
Hello good morning. Is a good thing. You’re a very organized person. Things go a little smoother work a little clean a little organize as you go seems to be a good plan. Thank you. You take care.👍🙏🤣
Nice grading job Diego! Loving this project! And like everything else, you’ll figure out the gutters and DIY! Glad you got some R&R w/TLJ! Take care of yourself!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just caught you video. And I like what I see. The next you get gravale. Buy a heavy tart and make bed in your truck. And pour the gravale in truck and you'll get more and make less trip.just a tip.
It looks like your stone collecting cleaned the side of the road noticeably, so when the rock brakes again it has place to go before it spills to the road.
I have a hunting cabin in Mississippi and needed gutters but found they were going cost like 6k. So I actually modified 6in pvc pipe and made my own gutters and saved 5k. I cut 1/3 of the top and when I enstaled themI put mesh wire on top to keep out pine needles from clogging it up. Just an idea if interested plus easy to paint.
I'm having difficulty envisioning where you're going with the footings. Seems like it's way more than it needs to be so I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result so it can all finally make sense to my female brain.
Diego,have you given any thought to applying wood preservative to your wood. It seems that you are in a very moist climate and preservative would be a great addition. I used it in my boat and it was fantastic. Love your channel and keep up the good work. Chris from Western Australia
It’s better to make the top cover for the rebar bigger than the bottom cover to resist the tensile force generated at the bottom of the foundation. And if you want to reduce the punching shear force add two rebar like a letter (X)
Hi Diego. Love watching your videos. Have a question, why use the buckets and not the bed of your truck? If your worried about the tracks getting rocks in them, line the bed with a trap first. You could haul a lot more. 👍
You're probably exhausted with sofa-surfer advice, but after you get the cabin reinforced back there, you should replace that slider if it's not already double pane.
idealy you want the rebar in the bottom 1/3 of the footing. you could have tied the rebar to the chairs and turned them on their sides and then tied your cross peices on the ones tied to the chairs. this would have dropped your rebar into the desired level in the footing. but it will work like you did it.
They sell gutter in 16foot sections. There like $24.00 a section. Buy a stack of them and stick through the back window of truck. I Lap my gutter joints versus using the couplers. Much less chance of leaking. Although if you tapper the gutter to the spout , there should never be standing water in gutter. I did my whole house and shop this way. 65feet was my longest run.
Hey Diego I was just wondering why did you just get a full truckload of gravel that way you could have the extra if you need it for somewhere else that way you don't have to make several different trips back and forth just a thought
I've watched all 3 of these foundation repair vids. I don't see you going down below the frost line with your new posts. Your big pads on top of the native soil is less than ideal, as long term stability is compromised. Better to dig smaller, deeper (2-4 ft. depending on local conditions) post holes that will not frost heave. A new quick method is to have a guy come with a special tool and drill in big steel screw type anchors as deep as needed. Then go back and attach your wood beams well above the wet ground.

This is what men do to get things done. Learning as you go, the quality of workmanship gets better all the time. You inspire all of us.
Ladies do the same too bud ❤
@@GeekFreeek Making simple footings excessively more complicated than they need to be?
@@henningerflatspeople just brainwash in obsessed with everything now
@@henningerflats its a funny observation thats all pal. no need to over complicate a simple observation
@ Is this so called observation in the room with us (Lady?)?
You must be so proud of yourself Diego. Your work is so well thought out, meticulous, organized. Every job is done excellence.
I appreciate that you use what is other people consider trash/excess. You help the environment and save some money in the process.

So glad you took a break to renew you body and mind. Hi to lovely Julia. It’s always good to have someone to have fun with.

You can do it in sections with connectors. It's not too difficult. I think I even advised doing this in your original guttering video.
Agreed!
100% what you should do in a budget I just did it to my front and back door for under 500 bucks
Yup, it’s around 1.5$/ft plus hardware for gutters if you buy them from a big box store like homedepot or Lowe’s.
Call and get gutter estimates. They are way cheaper than you think. Love this project!
I like how careful you are securing everything in your truck bed. That's important but often skipped by others.
Great editing; always good to see others take the time to try and make mundane tasks interesting to watch. Keep pushing forward!

It is a pleasure to watch your work. Thank You for sharing.
I installed a 55 feet gutter with my family help. It's a lot better than before.
Thanks for the video. After seeing all the details you put together on your project I can't wait to see the final results. It's going to bewonderful
Diego your allowed to rant it’s your show remember.😁it a lot of hard work,line upon line.little by little.Glad you had precious time with the lovely Julia.Say hi to her.🥰👍

you are living in nice place
mountains lakes forests
I like your videos
btw I'm learning english while watching your videos
eventually I'll go to Washington as a tourist an look at those places by myself
You could fill bucket faster if you just used the bucket as a scoop filling it half way then shovel it full😊
All I can say is good job man!!
Great progress and vid. Keep on keeping on. Be safe and be careful
Thanks Washington state for your new walkway
I'm reallyt enjoying your videos. And thanks for sharing about your lady's visit. What a beautiful couple. 💚💚💚
Professional work🤩🤩

When you decide on the gutter, order 4x6. And put oversized down pipes on each end. Look into gutter screen to keep needles and debris out. It works.
Great work and video!
You got skills young man ! Awesome job
U sure do love this cabin!!!! U r putting lot of time and effort to keep it in ur live for a long time!!!! Love the videos!!!
well done bro! keep at it. Support from 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
As a retired guy .......can't wait for the next one !

Outstanding Craftsmanship!😇!😇!👍
Makes it really nice to have a endless supply of stone for grading really helps

You should have become a diamond cutter, your so neat and spot on.. everything is within ten thousand of an inch
You do try hard great work ethic
I did plastic gutters myself and they've lasted 20 hard winters so far, I sealed the top of the joints to be safe.
Epic work Diego love how the rock looks ,what a great idea !. everything is coming along well. Looking forward to the next video .
Nice grading job Diego! Loving this project! And like everything else, you’ll figure out the gutters and DIY! Glad you got some R&R w/TLJ! Take care of yourself!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hoping when the time comes you will be collecting rain water for use? Great video-love them buckets!
I just caught you video. And I like what I see. The next you get gravale. Buy a heavy tart and make bed in your truck. And pour the gravale in truck and you'll get more and make less trip.just a tip.
TFS❗️Good to see the lovely Julia again.
Looked like swift in the background when you were getting rocks. And that bridge area i believe is above couger
Well done, keep it up!
It looks like your stone collecting cleaned the side of the road noticeably, so when the rock brakes again it has place to go before it spills to the road.

Very inspiring and I wish I had your confidence to know how to tackle tough or new things :D
Just subscribed, looking forward to seeing your build. Thanks for sharing!
It's nice to see an area where you can spend hours gathering rocks that've been sitting by the road for 20 years and no one hassles you.
Great work. Gutters?

Great video and information. But can you do a comparsion of different wheelbarrows. Wood or medal
Diego lastima que estoy lejos sino te ayudaba saludos
Hard work but it will pay at the end. Keep up the Good work.
Hi Diego
Use “z” flashing tucked under your siding and lapped over the top edge of the skirting in lieu of silicone
The mathematical mind works differently👏👏. Thank you❤❤❤.
Diego you should put an electric outlet next to the garage door then you don’t have to lug the generator in and out.

Nice job
Buy gutters at Home Depot. Easy to install since you have a one story house.
Like your videos! Does the sun ever shine there?😊
How's it going, it's Saturday here and a video would be nice!
👍🏻👍🏻😘🫡🙏🏻🇨🇦👍🏻 from Michigan 🇺🇸👋🏻 think
Spring. I kno I'm nuts , butt Det. Hasn't had much ❄️ 🤷🏻♂️
Is frost heaving not a thing where you are? I'd be concerned that those footings don't extend below the frostline.
I flinch every time you throw something in the back, you should put a grate to protect your window
Make a gutter out of cedar wood from the forest
Great work... But I am surprised that you haven't already installed guttering. Shouldn't this have been the first thing to get done?
When was this taken.
