Running Out of Fir Lap Siding & Can't Get More! Off Grid Cabin Build.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- I'm back at the Spur Cabin and ready to get to work! After nearly 3 weeks away, we tackle what's left of the beautiful Douglas fir lap siding I started in my most recent build video. I'm destined to run out of this one-of-a-kind product before I finish the back of the cabin, but the closer I get to the end of the pile, the more concerned I get that we'll run out before the sides are even done. Yikes!
In this episode, I flash windows, I measure and cut and predrill and nail and caulk, and hang some beautiful siding. It's work, and the work is compounded when I deal with Mother Nature! You'll see snow, rain, fog, wind, and sunshine. It's not always the most fun, but always worth the effort.
Moose Merchandise, AKA Moose Merch is almost here! After hearing from several of you, we plan to launch products around the first of the year. Stay tuned for details, but plan on hats, caps, t's, hoodies and more. But I'm also open to great suggestions!

Hello? Hello... are you there? OH! There you are! Yes, I watched every minute of the siding segments and never 'dropped off'- even stuck around for the 'commercials' 'cause I know that helps you. I hope you get a deer this year! I live in Alaska, but have never been as motivated as you seem to be, to live off the land and the grid as you have; dreamed about it, but never done it. What nice experiences viewing Creation you must have had! As to your question about the 'merch', I believe I would be more inclined towards a quality short-sleeved shirt.
I appreciate that, Alaska!
Cutting it close... I see what you did there.😊
Hey alright! I was hoping someone would mention it. 🙏
Two or three months ago, I discovered this channel. I've never missed an episode since. I'm from central Missouri. If you want a deer, you've got a good chance of getting one here. Missouri and Mississippi are number 1 and number 2 for the largest deer herds in the United States. I've gotten 2 with my pickups, and my wife got one with her car. Cheaper killing them with a rifle. Anyway, I love the show. Take care. Vaughn
I really appreciate that, on several accounts. 🙏
Lots of fun, looks good.
Thank you!🙏
I love that you are doing things like chaulking and flashings, etc. to avoid any undesireable intrudors and intrusions in the future. Geat job!
Thank you very much!
I'm really enjoying your channel and look forward to the weekly content. We have property in your area with an off grid cabin, live full time on the wet side. With your similar interests and builds I can get my Eastside fix and get new ideas and learn at the same time. Keep up the great work. Your property looks amazing.
Thank you so much! That Eastside fix probably saved my life. 😅
Only quitters don't watch until the end! :D Recently discovered the channel and have been binge watching. Informative and entertaining, can't ask for more!
Ha thank you! 🙏
It's looking good. I must say, I don't believe I've seen ever seen wood lap siding that wasn't face nailed. Otherwise it would cup in short order. Thanks for sharing.
Thank YOU!
Your thought process is very admirable. The extra step is also admirable. Your talent is without exception.
Holy cow those are nice things to say. Thank you, and thanks for being here. 🙏
I’m always so excited when you drop a new video, man. I love watching you work. I wish I could be there to help and learn, but I just do my own projects to compensate. I’d totally love a fitted Moose cap if you go a hat route. Not the kind with the snap strap…those aren’t great for guys with huge heads like me…haha seriously, I’m like post steroid Barry Bonds. I have a massive noggin.
Ha you and me both! 🙏
Another great visit to the cabin. It looks amazing. Mugs and caps are usually the big winners. At least for me. Always watch the whole video, wouldn't want to miss something. See you next week.
Thanks so much!
Not just a cabin, but an example of carpentry art. I'm enjoying your attention to detail.
Wow thanks!
My wife and I watch every episode from start to finish! One of our favorite channels to watch!!
Tshirts
Hats
Sweatshirts
Keep up the great work!!!
I’m honored!
The only people who will Subscribe are people who Like your Content and if they didn’t stay for the Whole Show, they aren’t likely to Subscribe. Besides most of Us already know about Like, Subscribe and Ring the little Bell, so reminding Us is somewhat redundant anyway.
I’d say tee shirts, hoodies and hats. Maybe coffee mugs as well. Oh and I watch throughout the entire episode.
Hey I love this project. It looks really good. Have a good one Patrick.
I appreciate that! You, as well.
The plane flying by at 20:54 looked cool in fast motion 😮
Indeed, it looked more like a comet
Yes, I stick around for the whole show and I look forward to your every post. Not sure what that says about me. 😂. I collect coffee mugs. A spf drifit longsleeve hoodie for summer and a lite-weight fleece hoodie for the winter.
Good ideas, and thanks!
You got goose eggs when you went deer hunting? Are those even in season? Do you ever get deer eggs when you go goose hunting?
Might it work if you predrilled the nail holes 😮 12:04
Number of boards: Not 90. I think you'll find that to be exact.
The cabin is really shaping up nicely but, I am impatiently waiting for you to start on the inside of the cabin! Looking forward to see what you have planned.
I appreciate that! We are getting very close to that interior… 🙏
Patrick, Love your videos. I ALWAYS stay to the end. Had my fingers crossed. Looked at my watch when you asked for the time. A weather forecaster who is wrong half the time is a two caster. Would buy a coffee Mug. Hope you get a whitetail Deer. I bought a 57 Chevy when in High School, changed the engine and still have the car. So you WERE talking to me when you said that, so THANKS ! Merry Christmas 💛 🎅
Ha I guess I was! Outstanding. Merry Christmas!
Relly beutifull cabin. The laping is great. Thanks for the great vids..
Thank you for watching them!
Coffee mug all day lol
Have noticed you really seem to use the cordless saw a lot in your videos. I have a Milwaukee M18 drill and driver set that I love. Just curious if the saw is just as much of a workhorse.
The cabin is really starting to come together and looks great.
BTW - you should post the bear chili recipe. Looks delicious on a cold day! (Apologies if you already posted it in another video)
I haven’t posted it…good idea! And yeah, I’m thrilled with that saw. No complaints.
Why do you nail the siding on the face rather than above the lap line?
I appreciate that you are being so thrifty with the materials you choose. It really does look fantastic! Just need you to hurry up and get to the inside...it's getting cold out there when all we can do is watch.
Thank you! Looking forward to getting inside, as well.
I always watch the whole show. Wild Kingdom! As I recall Marlin Perkins always got the easy job of narration while Jim got to wrestle the anaconda. You do both!
Good point!
Who is the lady singing in this video. I like all the music you use. Love your videos thanks.
Thanks! The playlist should be in the video description.
I do stick around for the whole show, can't pass up all those mountains and the knowledge you share with us. Great video, amazing how far this cabin project has come. Oh and that bear chilli looked tasty too.
Awesome, thank you!
@@LifeontheMoose You are welcome!
I second that I have starting watching all of this series, you are killing it! I also love that you rarely drop any sponsors or shill for anything. Everything on RUclips is about making money now and shilling, when I see that they get removed from my feed.
@@gmlarry I do need to make a living, so hopefully you stick with me when I need a sponsorship here or there. Thanks for watching!
@@LifeontheMoose Completely understandable, stay true and keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine.
Snowshoe hair. I get that when I wear a snowshoe on my head.
Here comes the sun! 😅 20:11
Patrick, as for the forecast being way off, the chemtrails, aka geoengineering, just might have something to do with it. Great work accomplished with the siding! It looks terrific!! Good luck putting some venison in the freezer!!
Thanks! I was wondering that, too..
Zippered sweatshirt

Never let work get in the way of a good hunt.
You’re not wrong!
Patrick, I am out here sticking with you. I would look at cap and sweatshirt. I enjoy your videos and look forward to them. I very much enjoyed the nice tight cut on the rafter notching. Will the eave get soffit cover? Great video, you are a trooper!! See you on the next one!
Ah thank you so much! At this point, I wasn’t planning on enclosing the soffits.
Mosse dropping or moose tracks. Chocolate covered raisins or peanuts . Or peanut brittle. Maybe offer sugar free. . Mugs. T shirts . If affordable. ...
Wonder if the caulk would last longer and make a stronger seal if it was put on the trim behind the edges/ ends of the siding.😮❤
What's your age demographic? I wonder how many people know the show Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Marlin Perkins and jungle Jim Fowler were about as fearless and you can be.
I’d say one’s age has to have at least a 5 in front of it to know that show first hand..
@@LifeontheMoose At the very least.
Looking good. Caps or t-shirts is my vote for merchandise.
🙏
What would I do if I couldn't help you build. Oh I make a 10 bean chilly.
Monkey vroom
I've got a 10" slider miter saw (or two...). I've always threatened to get a 14" slider miter saw so I can do all the stuff I do with just one pass. 4x4's and boards that are just a little too wide or too much of an angel for my 10" blade. Still haven't done it. Cost of the saw aside, the blades are pretty pricey and I like the really toothy blades with carbide on them and other bedazzled extras. Those run in the hundreds for 1 blade. After 5 blades you've spent the price of the saw if you got the really good one. You just never see those blades in a discount 12 pack...
It really surprised me when you said you didn't use flashing on the front window?! I'm sure you know what driving rain is. Did it not occur to you that it could still get drenched with rain. Let's just hope that never happens. The siding looks great.
I enjoyed watching it again. Congratulations on the lapsiding, it already looks fantastic.
As for your shop. I could use a new pair of underpants, one of them is starting to show signs of wear. I guess more people wear underwear, so if you start a Moose merch.... Bamboo seems to be very hot these days, but will be hard to come by in your area. Plain cotton will do for me.
Moose Approved Hoodies And Hats Made In The USA
Indeed!
Yep there's somebody out here. At least Pink Floyd and I...
T shirt.. moose with hammer and saw ??
I like it!
You’re a goofball but I love your channel right up my alley except for your choice of siding
Outstanding work. Your a true craftsman!
I’m not so sure about that! 🙏
Answer to asking for subscription at start of video versus at the end is totally wrong . That is like asking if you liked your meal before eating. Another killer for me is every other utterance is you guys hey guys or some variation an occasional slip is acceptable. When someone asks me to subscribe in advance of seeing content tells me they are only interested in viewer count not quality video. In other words keep doing what you are doing
Looking good! For products I think a nice cloisonné pin or fridge magnet of a moose would be cool.
I like it!
I would consider buy pocket tees, in size 4x, and perhaps a cap or two.
I love your choice of music..
Thanks!
Would buy either a nice heavy T-shirt or long sleeve T-shirt.
I'm watching it and keep asking myself: "Have he ever mismeasured something? Notching planks in such offhanded way, and they align perfectly? He make it looks so easy, natural, but there must be something that we don't see. Or is he such an briliant craftsmen?"
I pride myself in my attention to detail most of the time, but ‘brilliant’ isn’t a word I would use! Editing helps hide the boring mistakes sometimes, but I’m always happy to share my big ones, if that helps anyone watching. I appreciate your comment! 🙏
Cabin is looking great! Love your knowledge and sense of humor . I always watch the whole video, thanks for sharing!✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
🙏
If you go start watching at time 20:50 you will see up in the left hand corner a meteor. It was kind of neat.
Hi Patrick, great to be back on the job site with you again, even if it is really cold 🥶
The cabin is really looking good you are doing a wonderful job on it! Yes, I watch the entire videos, great stuff! A nice big coffee mug would be great!! 🤞keeping my fingers crossed for good weather and your success 🤞see you next time Patrick 👋
Good to have you back! I appreciate it. 🙏
Flashing is always called for. Rain does not, after all, fall only straight down. The wind has something to say about where water gets splashed around. I've had it wet on the bottom of the eaves after a good storm.
Indeed!
You do an excellent job on editing your RUclips videos. Must be a lot of extra work editing, adding music, moving cameras and still being able to get your construction done. Hats and T-shirts are always good.
Why thank you! Yeah the work alone takes ALMOST twice as long, and then editing etc is a whole other job. 😅 It’s worth it if you watch it! 🙏
I would probably be interested in mouse pads and hats
The cabin looks amazing I always look forward to your videos ❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate that!! 🙏
Hi i want your T shirts and coffee cup tks Dave
I’d buy a long sleeve shirt xxxl or mug.
Enjoying the whole playlist. Bout to go check the moose merch now. Maybe a t-shirt or mug if i didnt already have 20 of those. Maybe some sort of etched lunch kit would be cool
Much appreciated! 🙏
Can never have too many mugs.🤔
I really like the way you trimmed around the windows.
Thank you!
YES PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN PROJECTS LIKE THIS AND SO SORRY YOU DID NOT HARVEST A DEER
Really have enjoyed you building this little cabin through the summer
Thank you!
Peanut butter toast dipped in any soup or chili.
I would buy a T-shirt if they were in white or gray.
Well, the sun is shining above the clouds.
I would probably buy a cap. Thanks!
Me-Black shirt, turquoise lettering.
daughter-pink
shirt, black lettering
I’ll try! 😅🙏
Hey Patrick, nope, nobody here but us chickens... lol. Great job on that siding, cut it close much? Still enjoying your vids and your progress with your new "Mansion". Greetings from sunny Perth, West Australia [35°C here today] Not as chilly as your place, Ha Ha. Cheers, Frank. P.S. good luck on your hunt.
Thank you, Frank from Perth! 🙏
It would be great to make the world famous Moose Two Way RUclips Cam available to the general public... The so called Moose Smooth-a-Vision 3000 System
I like it!
I'd buy a branded beanie, or mug, a t-shirt, carpenter's pencils, speed square, calking gun . . .
Pencils…another new idea I like! 🙏
New Subscriber ..
A camping hint/suggestion .. Washing dishes, dumping fluids etc, should be done around the base of a tree/bush/rock etc. Less people walk there so it is less likely to be tracked and spread around...
Just something I learned decades ago playing with the Boy Scouts..
I enjoy your presentation and subject matter..
Absolutely! Thank you for subscribing. Appreciate you joining us. 🙏
Beware of rubber tool handles, such as your hammer, getting cold-stiff-slippery.
Great advice!
Hello from Midway, Texas my friend !!! ❤your video… Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Thanks, Midway! 🙏
Hi, Patrick. The cabin is getting better each day. And certainly you inspire us with your videos. Me and my wife never thought on relocate to US, but a few days ago I got myself looking for land there and comparing the prices with price's land here. 😊 About the merchandising, I think t-shirts, caps and hats are good. I will just ask to verify if the platform can send to other countries too. I'm sure you have fans from many places. I'm from Brazil. Cheers.
I really appreciate those kind words! I’ll do my best with the merchandise. Thank you so much! 🙏
Stocking hat, baseball cap
We collect coffee cups and that would be great..but my son in law says beanie caps or bill caps..my grand daughters think they would like mittens or scarfs..so now we've stocked your store..lol. oh wait..my daughter says tin plates and cups 4 camping.. OK there ya go. Another great video. Just love the location of this cabin but still concerned about a potty..lol
Ooh I like that tin plates idea…🤔 thanks for the suggestions!
Looks amazing! Another great video with great humor! 👍
Single board left - that's coincidence. 😂
I'm practical: T-shirts is my favorite..
🙏🙏
I vote for coffee mugs. Whatever you put out there I'm sure will sell. I like the suggestion of a moose with a hammer and a saw. Man you gotta come down here for a break...it has hovered about 76° F with mostly all sunshine for the last week and a half. Great weather for outdoor activities.
It is always a pleasure watching your shows, so thank you for putting them on for us. May God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas,
Very kind words! Yeah, the calling from the warmer south gets louder this time of year! Merry Christmas to you as well.
We have been following now for a few weeks, found your channel because of the floor idea...
T Shirts and coffee mugs are my vote.
Keep up the cool videos
Great to have you! Mugs will be available first…very soon. I really appreciate you watching! 🙏
Wild Kingdom, another great show in it’s day. I enjoyed watching it, just like red moose ranch.
🙏🙏
If you offer t-shirts or hoodies, make sure add “tall sizes”. Hoodies……I like the full zip up kind. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Always watch entire video. I am building my own cabin and really under estimated the fastener budget, hope this helps others. Hat and hooded sweatshirts.
Thank you! It DOES help. 🙏
Love a good coffee mug ☕️ or a T-shirt
You need a small microwave.
You better go get warm have a good night
Why did you change from the 5" spacing on the wood siding on the fifth board up left of the front door on the corner? By the way, I love the fact that you show what one person can do by themselves with a good work ethic and some practical know-how..
Hey thank you! That board is the transition between the top and bottom siding styles, and wanted to line the lap up evenly with the flashing above the awning. 🙏
the house looks nice - like a tiny house. Would be big eneught to live. Greetings from Germany
Hi, Germany! Thank you! 🙏
I spent half my life building high-end homes so I know it’s a little bit about siding and construction I love the building small outbuildings and Cabins
Awesome, thank you for tuning in!
Pottery coffee mugs, hats
Hi would like to know what your plans are for a bathroom,hope this is not inappropriate but just curious. Thank you and i enjoy your videos.
No plans yet, thank you!
If I were to buy Moose Merch it would be a t-shirt. And while i love the look of your cabin and all the education on how you share, that caulk drives me nutso on how visible it is. Does it age and blend more over time?
Yes it does. Like I mentioned in videos a few times, once it’s stained, it almost goes away. I appreciate you watching!
Thanks Patrick you look cold & it sounds cold, I'd fire that weatherman. Can you say, woodstove, what woodstove? I know, I know, I have a Mr. Heater.
If LIKE to fire that weatherman!
Looks like the new dishwasher was delivered safe and sound, not a scratch on it. Heavy cotton tee shirts and knit caps. Why would peeps want to subscribe and like a video they haven't seen yet? Makes no sense.
Right?! Thank you.
