    My wee girl actually clicked your solar panel video by mistake and I nearly turned it off but found myself being drawn into the video . I have now watched every video on your page in 3 nights 😀 . Love what you have done and I'm so impressed. It would be great to know the overall cost of your project when complete . Oh and some hunting video from around your property . Keep the good vids going and hello from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    1x2 on each side of the rafter and cap the bottom with 1x4. It will look awesome!!! Love the wall. I bought a bunch of fence pickets when Lowe's had them on sale and used them for several different projects. I loved working with them. Cold Beer Cabin is really shaping up and looking great. Have a great day, John! Coooold Beer!!!

    Hey John i think the cedar trim would look really good, nice clean edges, I like it. Give the cabin a rustic beam look. Nice job on the fence pickets. If you want to run the solar down get one of those tiny mini-fridge and plug it in that way you can run the solar down and have cold beer at the same time! Much love from So.Cal.💟

    When you do the rest of the wall, line up the new pickets with the dog ears together. There will be a diamond pattern down that line. Could look kinda cool. If you wanna cover it, just use another fence picket to match.

    Faux beams is a great idea! I would trim the rounded edges off the fencing, leave a gap between each side so that your vertical peace would be flush with the boards. Use the same wood. The cabin is coming along great!

  • @dorothymcgregor7953
    @dorothymcgregor7953 4 года назад +1

I'm still not seeing a lot of cold beer though...I may have to make a trip down to texas and remedy that. 🍺

  • @janiegrissom6344
    @janiegrissom6344 4 года назад +2

    I like the fence panels on the wall. I would have cut off the dog eared ends to be straight. Then they will butt up flush to each other & you won't need trim boards to cover seams. Or...still cutting the dog eared ends, but stagger the seams like they do on a wooden floor. For the ceiling, did you see what Good Simple Living did with their ceiling on their tiny house, inside their barn? You could mount beadboard, and hide the seams with the 1"x2" cedar strips you already have. Hope this gives you some ideas.🤔😏 Enjoying your vlogs on your tiny house build.

  • @marywilson9660
    @marywilson9660 4 года назад +3

    Hey John bring you a mini fridge down you need a place to keep that cold beer at and that will definitely set the power down and let you know how it's going to function and about the roof I'm a girly girl and I worry about the spiders and bugs that are going to be up there so I think you should enclose that with the same siding that you used on the outside of the house just close that sucker up. And yes trim would be nice where the dog ears join at, even though it would have been nice if you had cut the boards off halfway where it attaches to the 2x4 and then you could have attached the other board to the same 2x4 and then just run a piece of 1" quarter round down the seam. Everything looks so good. Are you going to be using a composting toilet?

  • @bigbearprepper
    @bigbearprepper 4 года назад +1

    Like what your doing. Thought, the bubble wrap coated with aluminum needs to have a pocket of air between the roof and the aluminum for it to work well. Look up reflectix, that is the major brand name of this type of material. They have good videos on the site that explain why. If you don't want to pull down what work you have done you might consider sheeting out your ceiling rather than trimming it out. You would have a nice ceiling and have your pocket of air. But best practice would be to pull down the bubble wrap and put it back up with a 4" gap between it and the roof. Still looks good!

  • @littledogagency
    @littledogagency 4 года назад +2

  • @HaroldMalaby
    @HaroldMalaby 4 года назад +1

    With respect may I suggest having done my 14x16 cabin. I used the fence boards and know they will shrink. That being said either spray the insulation black and or put black felt paper up then the board's. Then in the future you won't see the stuff behind.
    Second always do the wall from did to side with trimmed ends and stager the joints working your way up or down. No direct seams up the wall.
    Ceiling your idea of the side trim boards then a cap will be nice just know there is never enough insulation it will be an on going battle with heat and cold.
    Some type of wood stove lots of ideas online for that. Your in the woods with endless amounts of downed wood for heat. Also if your out for several hours and want to maintain some level of heat a "vented propane heater" will be your friend. VENTED.
    Water can be done via containers and gravity fed and the low side of the roof should have a gutter for harvesting of rain water.
    Your solar is great but know the wonderful trees we all love will also be a battle to insure solar gain from the sun.
    Fun project enjoy the journey it's been an ongoing journey for me.
    Best to you my friend.

    Loving your channel CBR! Got my own little cabin out here in Arizona. A couple ideas- The 1x4 to dress up that ceiling is a great idea. A benefit to that is the tiny ledge it creates. You can hide thin strips of LED light tape to it to create ambient light at the ceiling level. Would look good! On the wall, you can also cut a few of those fence pickets in half, that way you have a staggered look to the wall. Even more "cabiney". EXCELLENT JOB! (By the way, think I'm stealing that corrugated siding for the kitchen. Love it!!

    As others mentioned would cut the pickets back to meet midway on a stud or even stagger joints

    Put a stud in behind where the dog eats meet for support then trim it out with the same 1x4 cedar boards you’re using on the ceiling

    it looks good john , but you need to cover the whole ceiling with bead baord or something and it would be alot cooler and look better.

    Maybe a booth table with some storage and fold down table for extra bed for a hunting buddy during hunting season . Are you putting in some kind of stove heater ? Are you gonna put some decking on the back side also ?

    The way you boxed the sides of the ceiling rafters and then put a 3 inch wide cedar board to cap it would look good. Also instead of 2x4 studs you could use the same 3inch cedar board to cover the joints of the fence board walls which would go well with the cedar ceiling trim.
