    Good job, many professional carpenters make mistakes so, don't worry. Nobody should criticize you for what and how you are doing your thing. I have built many cabins in my lifetime and none of them are straight but, they are still standing and dry today, lol. Thanks for sharing.

    *Awesome job completing all 4 walls. 🙂 But please tie your hair back when using the chainsaw & other tools... one gust of wind for your hair to get tangled up and you will be scalped.. Its all about safety on a worksite. 🙂nz*

    I was a little late to loooong comment your last video but you can check it out. You make a house made of wood and it gona move little when it sets over time and the temp changes. I see that all from U.S using foam around the windows and doors. The reason we dont do that is that the spray foam expand and could push the window frame so you can not adjust if the doors and windows get hard to opens and also not breath anything. We use soft insulation type Rockwool and have adjustible screws when install the windows and doors so you can adjust them over time. See if you can find windows and door with pre drill holes ar else just drill holes for the special adjustible screws

    No worries, that wood will not go to waste. You can use it for shorter pieces underneath windows, in closets, or in building other projects.
    Looking forward to your next post. May God bless you. 🙏💝

    Good morning. Moving right a long I see .glad you had some help for a day. And we all make measuring mistakes it happens. Don't beat yourself up. It's all learning experience at this point. And from watching the videos I see you doing a great job well you have a blessed day thanks for sharing.

  • @TM-jl1zd
    @TM-jl1zd 4 месяца назад +2

    Nice job. It is hard to tell so if you have already done it, my apologies. A double top plate that is staggered at the current joints will tie everything in nicely and will also help to spread out the load from your roof/floor joists.

    Your doing just fine. When putting in screws, try an impact drill instead of the regular drill if you have one. I used the drill for years until I got an impact drill. I love my impact drill, It acts much as a drill does until more torque is needed, then it acts like a impact driver. Try it. You might like it I certainly do. It's also a little lighter. I think I'll subscribe. You've got spirit!! Keep plugging at it. I'll keep watching 😊

    Oh and you can crank and run a chainsaw as good as and probably better than most. Good luck and take care.

  • @bryanjelinski8036
    @bryanjelinski8036 4 месяца назад

    I'm very impressed on how determined and capable you are. I assume you had help from your friend to finish the walls in 4 days? There's no reason to be embarrassed by that. It's best to be open with us. We understand the heavy weight and safety concerns when dealing with the walls. Ummm, the battery died for 4 days breaches the trust relationship you want to develop over time with loyal viewers/ subscribers.
    You're doing great and are inspirational. I know they're expensive, but I think you'll regret not adding a few more small windows to your layout for light, cross ventilation and security. I'm looking forward to your next episode!

    @bobwelch7911 4 месяца назад

    Love it. But...I haven't seen the entire build yet however I noticed that your headers aren't against your top plate, rendering them useless. The gap needs to be filled solid or with cripples 16" OC. I can see your lack of experience but fear not. After this build you'll have learned lots. Have fun.😎
