  • Building a mobile cabin on a trailer has turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated but hard work and determination are keeping this DIY project alive. In this episode I make critical progress towards having my dream cabin on wheels ready in time for the Alaskan winter season.

    Probably thought of this.. If you build a storage cabinet on the tongue it can have a slope to help with the wind . Would also be good for the water heater or propane and electrical service.

    If you really want to kill any residual mold, etc., get an ozone generator and close it up tight and let it run inside for a day or so. Do research as I am guessing at the time. You can do this at any stage of the construction. You can use o3 (ozone) in an old house, just don't have any living beings there. (Dogs, Cats, etc.).

    Rare to see someone using 12V DeWalt on RUclips. Use mine daily at work and it works perfect for this sort of thing. And we ran the same sort of Inlet at our cabin. No sense in complicating things if we don't have to.
    And I'm impressed, a sparky who sweeps.

    @wileycoyotesr8623 17 дней назад +1

    Do you realize had you attached vertical 1x2's at all 8 corners the siding would have butted up to it with no ugly open ends? Water will blow into the openings and get behind the siding thus rotting the wood. Also, remember when pulling nails from the 2x4 mistake? Next time use the small piece of 2x4 between the hammer and long 2x4. Nails will practically fall out when pulled.
    Finally, try to sell this one ASAP and start over building another correctly. Be sure to sell this one AS IS with ZERO WARRANTY. Love the music!

    Loving this build series mate. The 'tiny cabin' is coming along very nicely. I love the corrugated iron siding along the bottom quarter panels of the cabin. Really looking forward to seeing how you do the internal fit out.
    Very similar in many ways to the guest 'bunkhouse' you did out on the main property .
    This Im sure was by design 😉🤣.
    All the best mate, greeting from Australia

    @kirstypollock6811 19 дней назад

    Looking good! Great to see the cabin drives ok.
    From experience with wood on boats, I'd stick with the oil finish. Also will say that it's next to impossible to get varnish to stick to wood that's been oiled. So I've found. Maybe there are some tricks I don't know.
    I'd be worried about condensation under that siding along the sides. Also about water getting in the ends, but I guess you'll seal that up too.
    I just adore that you say "shore power", never heard that outside a boating context.
