  • I had to find a way to close the gap between the roof and the walls that involved a lot of precise cutting around all of the logs. A friend of mine gave me these small planks a long time ago and I knew that sooner or later I'll find use for them. I also installed the same planks on the A-frame in the loft as the final layer. At the beginning I did some work together with a friend and later in the A-frame my wife helped me.
    Thank you for watching!

      Don't wait to long. I'm only 63 but have been suffering with Diabetes for 20 years and now High Blood Pressure and Neuropathy which makes everything I do very difficult. RUclips and it's creators such as Nik are amazing in the fact they are showing the world how hard work pays off. I wish I had had this in my life 60 years ago I would have turned out a much better person with a lot more skills than I have now. God Bless all of you youngsters. Things will go good for you if you just apply what Nik and others are showing you. God Bless you Nik.

    I think what your doing is great! I think it looks great! You're living one of my dreams a world away from me here in Colorado where I headed down the path you're traveling. I was permanently sidelined by an injury in 2001, but the fire to do what you're doing still burns hot. Thank you so much for sharing your dream and your family. May blessings and abundance follow you always. Oh, and I so much love all the killer sunsets in your other videos. There's not a whole lot of people in this world who love nature the way it seems you and your family does. Watching you all helps me keep my faith that there is still good on this planet.
