- Trimming out the windows and doors in our log cabin. One way to do slip trim that allows for settling and log shrinkage. Ready for a day off at the lake kayaking and campfire cooking. Full scribe log cabin build, @natureartgirl
ive only just come across you guys on here and am currently watching the cabin build playlist. in all the cabin videos ive watched ive not seen or heard of anything about slippage trim. what a fantastic idea to make sure there is no damage as the cabin settles in. I assume this is because you built with new wood instead of old drier logs? I am in awe of what your doing! I'm a woman in her mid 40s from the UK. born and raised in the very south east of England than moved to Scotland when I turned 40. we brought a temporary home in here in Scotland with the view of buying something remote in a few years, but the housing market isn't and hasn't been in the right place for us to do it yet. my husband started his career in engineering as an apprentice back at the end of the 1970's and is a perfectionist at everything he builds or repairs lol so as you can imagine any home we have had has had his handwork in it somewhere where he has wanted to change and improve things. I can already see that if we buy what we really want it will take a long time for us to get it how we want it, but it will be our dream forever home. I cant wait to carry on with the playlist and then go on to your others. great work as a team! thankyou for sharing this
Hi Tannia. Yes our logs had not dried too much, but they do settle a lot as you build especially when we got 105 degree weather. They also settle quite a bit when you put the roof on due to the extra weight. But log builders usually allow for settling even with dry logs due to compression, just not nearly as much.
It is sure nice to have a husband with skills! I’m sure you will enjoy whatever home you decide on😊Thanks so much for watching, I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos 😊💕🌷
You guys work so hard and good together, if one can’t figure it out, the other one will! Love the Cabin you 2 built together, great work! That’s something to be proud of! You deserve to be lazy once in awhile 🤣, beautiful scenery at the lake, the pups are enjoying the sunshine! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thanks Mark! 😊👍
What a nice episode, that lake is gorgeous and the breakfast made me hungry! It’s amazing how much those logs will settle, you’ve done such an outstanding job, everything looks absolutely perfect! Thanks so much for the entertainment!
Thank you Nena! 😊🌷
Job well done guys .. Cinda certainly knows her stuff . Don,t think you could put one over one her .Really switched on .Great day on the lake ..Good memories . All the best from OZ ..JR
Thank you JR!😊💕
Thanks for another enjoyable video. Trim looks great. I really like the live edge. Kayaking looks fun. I think I will have to get mine this weekend . It's been a year since I had it out. Thanks for sharing
Thanks James! Yes, definitely getting to a nice time of year to go kayaking! Have fun😊👍
Been watching you for a long time now, you do great work.
Thanks so much for watching Kevin!😊
it looks very nice
Thank you Pete!
WOW, your log cabin is very beautiful it is looking good now you have a door and windows in it. You two are very hard-working people. All my love to you two and your two dogs. From G in England.
Thank you Gay! We will give them a hug for you😁🐕
First let me say, damn fine cabin. Second, you youngsters crack me up and third, Mr. Serafin no disrespect intended, for a man who has seen a lot of years you mighty fine work.
Thanks Everette! I’ve had a lot of practice!😂😂
Be nice to have a porch off the back especially for grilling
Yes, for sure! We are going to put a side deck on for a table and grill!😊👍
Montana Haven builds log homes and they have a you tube channel. Very nice family.
Yes, we have watched their channel. We learned a lot early on from several you tube channels. It’s nice to see things demonstrated. Easier to learn that way😁👍
I've seen another you tuber with that same support system for the Perkins and ridge beam.
Yeah, It is a popular method. We definitely didn’t invent any of this😄👍
You said it's a lot of work, does this mean you're not going to build another one on your property to have extra income 😂 lol. I can see that's a lot of work, love your videos
Pretty sure we are going to take some time off!🤣 Seriously though, if we can keep this one cabin rented out pretty regularly, it should be enough. We live very cheaply. Going to take my Dad fishing a little more😁
The sliding brass plates on the slip trims were wonderfully innovative. Potential for patent there! Loved to see how spot on your log was above the 'french doors' - your attention to detail is fantastic. The testimony to your partnership over the soup and the planed wood was really moving and sincere. Your love for each other is evident and it brings a special charm to the whole process. Thank you for a lovely video.
Thank you Jim! Hope you are doing well! Really appreciate your comments!😊
The cabin is looking seriously good!! I think the fact that you are both doing this together makes you'll truely inspirational!! Well done to both of you. The time off on the lake / river with the dogs looks beautiful too.
Thank you Simon! We sure needed a break 😊
Absolutely love your cabin and enjoy watching 2 people work together and really enjoy it.
Thanks Margaret! Glad we could share our progress😊💕
Love your cabin amazing job! What a beautiful couple loving each other and working together! Lance your wife is such a beautiful lady! She amazes me with her work skills. How she can skin that bark better than any man! Love and blessings to you both! What an amazing cabin! We never miss an episode!💕💕💕🌹🌹🌹
Thanks so much for watching! We have had a really good time on this project even though it’s a lot of work. 😊🌷💕
SUPER .. CO - CONI ..MADAM ..🥰🥰🤣😇😂😎🤠 .. ❤❤❤💞💕💘💘👍👍👍👈👈👈 ..
What an arduous job, but the reward is absolutely stunning! We've never seen a log cabin so beautiful. They layout to the blood, sweat and love put into it; makes it "one of a kind." Y'all take care & God Bless. 👍
Thank you for the lovely comment!😊💕
Hi there me again . You 2 are a wonderful couple . A good lesson for some to learn how to work together. Love watching the build and your relationship. Hope you have many more years of happiness in the Cabin .
Thank you Peter!!👍
This is an work of art! Congrats to u guys, love the videos.
Thank you!😊👍
Howdy y’all- wonderful job on the trim! I like the live edge for the slip board. Yeah, it does take some figuring when building with logs, but it’s certainly worth it. Beautiful day on the last. Take care and God bless
Thanks Paul! We will have to do a little modification on the front door trim as it settles. It came out at a weird place on the log. Could have used your help on figuring that one out🤣🤣🤣But I think we can adjust it pretty easily later. Look forward to your next video. Your project looks beautiful!Take care!😊
Πολύ ωραία μέρη. Χαίρομαι πολύ που με κοινή προσπάθεια φτιάξατε αυτό το πανέμορφο σπίτι 🏡🏡. Εύχομαι από καρδιάς να είσαστε πάντα ευτυχισμένοι και αγαπημένοι. Καλή συνέχεια και πολλά φιλάκια από την Αθήνα
Thank you so much Despoina! Greetings to Athens😊👍
This is such an awesome creativity and art coming together and making something special and unique. This is truly something I need to see from you, myself I have been thinking, dreaming, and wanting to take the steps towards creating something like this. However, life kinda kept getting in the way or better to say I made poor choices and mistakes and paid the price, but finally I am on the right track to regain all the control over my life which I am very proud of :) Your videos are helping me to be inspired, pushed, and acknowledged about the ups and downs which is a huge benefit, and I'd like to thank you for it. Wishing you the best on your journey :)
Yes, life definitely has some up’s and downs. I am glad you are figuring out a way to deal with that. It is an important life skill. Thanks for joining us on our build! 😊👍👍
Hello. My. Thought. Would. Be. Remove. The. Board. And. Stuff. The. Opening. With. Pink. Insolation. A little. R. FACTOR. Looks. Great.
Yes, he did that on all the windows and doors. Fiberglass insulation in the gap above before we put the trim board on.
Just found y'all. Loved the Video.
Thanks for watching Frances!👍
Hi Lance and Cinda this is your brother. The cabin is amazing. You both have done such a great job on the cabin. Next time I come out I’m going to bring Dad and Mom over to see it. Can’t wait to see you again. Love you.😍
Great! Come by anytime!😊💕Miss seeing you😊
What a beautiful life you and your wife have made for yourselves ♥️☺️ !! It’s like reading a novel of a great love story….. God bless you and your wife and of course your animals and please stay safe !! 🍺🤭✌🏼😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Bruce! We would be lost without each other. I’ve been in love with the man since I was 14😊💕
For someone who has no experience in building a log cabin, you sure have some great ideas…. Well done guys….As usual a beautiful built….stay safe guys..
Thanks Dennis! We hope it works!!🤣
Super tare va urmăresc cu drag din România și noi stam la casa într-o comuna superba
Thank you! It’s nice to hear from people all over the world!😊💕
Lance, great advertising for Piney Fire Dept. You must have a dozen T shirts.
It least 13😂😂😂
Your attention to detail is quite amazing.
Thank you Robert!
Your making great progress now! Really like the looks of your cabin with the front door and window in. Your dogs are really great supervisors. My 155 lb Newfoundland loves to be where ever i am and lays in the way when im doing tasks. I just walk around him as he dosn't move. Guess we know who the boss of the house is. Lol..... See you on the next video!!!
Thanks! Yeah sometimes we call Indy speed bump!😊😂He is like a little stick tight. I bet yours is really an effective speed bump!😂😂.
love your house wish i had that
Almost a year of hard work! Glad you like it 😊👍
MY BAD. I SHOULD HAVE. WATCHED. THE WHOLE VIDEO. FIRST. BEFORE. COMENTING
😂😂it happens!😂👍
The cabin looks great. I enjoy watching y'all doing some cast iron cooking on the lake.
Thanks David! I love it when Lance cooks😁😁
Shes a professional sander
Job well done
? For you
How come theres no people on the lake
We just about own the lake after school starts🤣🤣there were more boats out later that day. But it gets pretty busy in the summer months. It’s a huge lake. Almost a thousand miles of shoreline. Of course it zig zags a lot. 😊
How long do give the cabin to shrink down . And if it stops shrinking and you still have a gap do you change the top trim piece. Nice job you and Cinda should be proud of what you made.
We are not really sure how long it will take. It has shrunk about an inch from the time we got the last wall log up. So I am sure it shrank a little as we were building. I think it depends on how big the diameter of the logs are and the humidity level. We are usually very humid here, but the 100+ degree weather we had really made a difference. I have heard it can take a couple years. You don’t really have to change the trim even if there is a gap since it is completely sealed. That’s why we liked the decorative aspect of the live edge. Really better to leave it because wood can still expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. But, might be good to ask someone who has long term experience, we haven’t ever lived in a real log cabin yet😂
@@natureartgirl Thanks Gary
Love the cabin but I don't think the fancy door fits in with the cabin look.
Thanks!😊
Very smart build. Love the way you work and manage to not throw things at each other LOL.
😂😂It’s getting a lot easier now that it’s not 102 degrees anymore 😂😂👍
Beautiful craftsmanship
Thank you for sharing
You are welcome! Thanks for watching 😊👍
Only thing I've thought of is just build your trim and casing to the window and let the logs slide behind it.
Yes, you could do that if you cut flats above the window. It is tricky though, because logs are round and they don’t always come out in a place where that will work. It is all going to be custom for each window no matter how you do it. 😊👍
@@natureartgirl yes they are. A log home has always been my dream build. With my son having duchenne muscular dystrophy I've been saving up to start building. Everything will have to be wheelchair accessible so buying isn't an option so it'll all be custom too.
Здравствуйте! Вы проделали огромную работу ! Не каждому под силу такой проект ...Красивая и мудрая пара 💗 ..Всех Благ вам двоим и вашим питомцам !..Пес понял ,что пойдет кататься 🤗 Россия ,Национальный Парк Мещёра.
Thank you! It was definitely a learning experience. We really enjoyed it. We live near a national park also. We will have to look up some information on yours. That would be interesting. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Нам с мужем по 59 лет , российские пенсионеры из маленького поселка (у нас нет таких строгих ограничений как в самих заповедниках) их рядом три, наиболее известный Окский Биосферный Заповедник,где выращивают редкие виды журавлей,ведут селекцию зубров (покупают или обмениваются с зоопарками , чтобы сохранить стандартное поголовье) лишних животных выпускают в природу , в те места где зубры обитали раньше ...На вашем канале смотрела вольер для кур (у нас лисы частые гости), потом уже на строительстве дома залипла...услышала пару фраз на русском и вы все делаете вместе , поэтому сразу лайк и комментарий...С наступающим Рождеством вас !
Your windows and doorsc look awesome!!! I love your live edge slip boards! You may find that the cabin will not settle past the live edges of your slip boards but you got the right idea on constructing them. Just like the pros! Our camp was originally going to be a stick built building until a friend suggested a log cabin instead. I had built buildings before and thought a log cabin would be easier. How wrong I was!!! They are hard but so much more rewarding. If anyone knows the meaning of life it's you two! Great job!
Thank you Donny! We hope it works. The slip trim will have to be cut narrower when it comes too low. And the front door trim will have to be modified a little after it settles some. The top came out on a weird place on the log. 😂😂it is definitely a learning experience. 👍
Should have been using screws so if needed to change it, would be a lot easier!
Yes, that’s all we used is screws. We will probably have to trim the top of the slip trim later, so that makes it easier to take it off. They were trim screws.
@@natureartgirl If need a go to, try Meadowlark Log homes if not seen them allready! Or there builder Montana Haven
Have you guys considered started a patreon?
We don’t really know too much about it. 😊👍
I had another question are you going to insulate under the floor.
We are not sure yet. Plan is to enclose the bottom with galvanized roofing and possibly spray foam the metal. We really are afraid to put insulation right up against the floor joist logs until they have had plenty of time to dry completely. It is very humid here and afraid they might rot. It doesn’t get super cold here and a friend of ours did the spray foam /metal and hasn’t had any issues.
@@natureartgirl Thanks Gary very job .
Absolutely stunning workmanship !! When are you coming to Wisconsin to build me one just like it 🤔😉🤭🤭🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Bruce! I think we will need a long vacation first!😂😂
I just found your channel and I’m amazed at what you two are doing…subscribed and looking forward to more videos…I’m from Ontario Canada and owned an off grid lodge for over 25 yrs..wish we had RUclips back then as I could have filmed all our renovations and adventures.
That sounds amazing! You are right it would have made some great videos! Thanks for joining us! 😊
Hello you two! If you invest a lot of time and work carefully, it's worth it too 👍. You are happy about the result afterwards. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹
Hi Hans! Yes it’s been a lot more work than we expected. But I think the finishing will be a little easier!😊🍺
My three favorite channels now are, 1) Sampson Boat Co.; 2) Simple Living Alaska, and this channel.
Thank you, and please make more!!
Thank you so much for watching!😊glad you are enjoying them👍
So beautiful, I am so jealous of you guys , very nice place to retire, and your home to finish is all down hill from here
Take care sir and mama ❤ 💕 🙏 ♥ 💖
Thank you! Yes, I think the finishing will be easier!😊👍👍

Nada melhor depois de um belo trabalho um passeio desse.. que espetáculo 😍.. os seus companheiros Indy,e Brody se divertem demais nesse lago...deve ser bom andar de canoa😁 eu nunca fiz isso🤣🤣🤣🤣...bjs família linda até o próximo capítulo
Hi Mira! Glad we could share it. We really love taking Indy swimming! He just wears himself out😂😂
Great series. Very enjoyable. M
Thank you Michael!😊
Beautifully trimmed out Lance and Cinda. Such a beautiful area of the country you life in. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Deb
Thanks Deb! We love it here!😊🌷
A lot of work and knowledge to install windows correctly so they have room to move as the cabin settles. Very educational and another excellent job by Lance.
We sure hope it works!😊
Even the dogs enjoyed the view.
Yes, I think they do! After a while I think their brains get overloaded with all the smells and new things to see. Then they crash out for a while😂😂
Cabin has a feel good about it Lance, and good job Cinda.
love that lake, it's low.
thanks Lance, now I will have go and cook some eggs.😊
Thanks Paul! Sorry we made you hungry!😂😂
Great video thanks.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!😊

Not for now, we have a home next door through the woods. Going to use it for an Airbnb. May live in it when we get a bit older 😊
@@natureartgirl It's good to plan ahead for when you grow old ;-)

Thank you Richie!😁
Great video as always! You guys work so hard but then you always make sure you take time out for yourselves and your "little helpers". You seem to have worked out a great work/life balance. Looking forward to the next installment of the cabin build and the Good Life.
Thank you Stevan! We were a little behind on needing a break. It had been too hot to even go to the lake. Thankfully, it has cooled off some now. 😊
@@natureartgirl - I'm flying to the US on Monday. Will be spending 3wks in Columbus OH and may look for a piece of land there or in KY, WV or NC. Looking in Arkansas would probably require a whole other trip but it's not out of the question.
@@stevanandrews9210 That’s awesome! Those are all beautiful states too. We hope you find something that will work for you😊👍
@@natureartgirl - thank you! I appreciate your encouragement. I'll keep you posted.
Love to see how ya care & love for each other ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
