I've got to say that with the job that you do, and the countless lives you must have saved along the way, you deserve everything good that life can throw at you. To escape to your cabin, is something that you must really cherish, and those views ( Green with envy springs to mind. 😂😂 ) boy how I'd love to wake up to that every morning. Brilliant video, as is the norm from you. I hope you, and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and all the very best to you ( and others who read this ) for a safe and Happy 2025 🤞🤞
Thank you sir, truly appreciate that. This is without a doubt the one place I always want to run to and never leave. Waking up here to the sound of the ocean, birds and the river... nothing beats that (for me) Glad you enjoy this video, and merry Christmas to you as well. Wish you all the best, and hope there is something extra nice under the Tree this year 😂🙌🏻
Thomas, your commitment to your craft never ceases to amaze. Hell, I would've stayed inside, reading my book, rather than head outside, set up the camera, go back inside, etc, etc. And all of this stuff isn't much fun when it's cold and wet. Respect.
Haha, thank you Simon. The devil is in the details, and to be honest, I think this is part of why I enjoy this so much. Just how you can create and form your story trough visuals and sound. I always thought motorcycles was my biggest passion, but I think I understand now that being a creator is a much bigger passion. I will not stop making motorcycle videos, but I might include a different project like this every now and then. Thank you for the nice comment. Cheers ☕️
It can't begin to describe how much comments like this is appreciated. Nothing makes me more happy than people enjoying my content and appreciate the work that goes into it. Makes it all worth it and are so motivating. Merry Christmas mate, hope you will have a great Holliday. All the best from Norway ☕️
The type of life that I’ve always wanted to live: no noise, close to nature, peaceful. Thank you for making these kinds of videos - they always bring a smile to my face when I see your new upload and my notification bell rings. I’m very excited to watch your new project. Best of luck! Keep uploading. Cheers! 🥂"
Thank you... appreciate the nice comment, and there is no doubt that the older I get, the more I appreciate the solitude and living close to nature. It does not have to be extreme, but just some daily input of wild animals, some small projects and have to work to make the day go by. Absolutely enjoy and love it. Much more of this coming soon 🙏🏻
Thanks 👍 Really appreciate that 🙌🏻 My motorcycle adventures is just a small part of my life and interest. And to show more of who I am, this gives a better understanding in why I love to do the things I do. And that people enjoy these kind of videos as well gives me much more freedom to explore different aspects of video making. Thank you for the feedback and hope you have a great summer down under.
Hansen, just as you built that house with a measure, someone must have built the world that way. You can think about this while looking at that beautiful fjord from your balcony. :)) Thanks for the nice video. (Note: I wrote another comment five months ago. Time flies so quickly.)
Yeah, stuff like that hit me all the time. Imagine how much manpower and will to make something great is put out there every single day. Impressive. But it shows how much we can learn and make if we are willing and have the time. Glad you enjoyed this video Kamal 🙌🏻 Always appreciate comments like this. All the best.
I am so impressed with your video work. I love the silence and the atmosphere - and your editing of course. Your work is going way beyond something mainly of interest to motorcyclists.
Thank you sir. My video work is just a long road with failing and deep passion for the craft. I really enjoy experimenting with visual storytelling and trying out new stuff. I hope that this can go further than just Motorcycle. Motorcycle is without a doubt my best tool or hobby to get out there and enjoy adventures. Almost like the old times when they used horses to travel and explore the world. But my main passion is creating stories and share my view trough the lens of a camera. And everything fits so well together.
Really love the cabin videos Tjommi, it's life happening. Always fascinating to see construction progress. There is nothing as great for your mind, as working with your hands. Skål Tjommi, see You at Sunday!
Thank you Tjommi... I really enjoy making them as well. It is more like slow tv and I can really be creative with the camera and enjoy the slow process. Absolutely a new aspect of video making I enjoy doing. Woodcarving is your fault I have been so hooked on for the last couple of years. So thank you for that. 🙌🏻 See you Sunday! 🥃
I appreciate that 🙌🏻 Always nice to get these kind of comments from people who know what they are doing 🎥🤩 I love to play around with this stuff and just find something that works and are not overdone by others.
I think so too! but I'm a little bit scared it will feel more cramped or like a narrow down the path behind the cabin (if that makes sense) I need to see if I can find pictures or videos about something similar.
Thank you so much Tanja. Really enjoy spending time here in between my travels and other adventures. and it is nice to have small projects and something to do. Cheers ☕️
Hi TS. man that is one hell of a nice place. Absolutely beautiful. Good vid. Saw the flat grind. Mine is supposed to be in tomorrow, Friday the 13th, we'll see how the good fortune turns out. Good looking job on the spoons. Carving is much like whittling, time to think and keep the mind busy. The belt sharpener, even and fast, in the future. I've used a leather strop to put the fine edge on all my life. I have my Grandfathers he used to sharpen his Boker and German Eye straight razors to shave with. The concrete. Mixed and poured most all my life, huge and small jobs. You can add antifreeze to the mix to keep it from freezing and crumbling. Add some heat to the building. Preheat the floor area best you can. A oil, electric or kerosene burner overnight with the building sealed would do well. Something you could use after the pour for a couple days as well til it sets up. You could cover it in plastic and make like an internal tent or tarp over the concrete and not have to heat the whole building you just want the concrete not to freeze. Now the wood storage area. The way that soil bank is sloped and the lack of drainage control on it, I don't think I would dig or disturb that very much other than setting posts in it to attach a building floor to. Reason being the way it looks if you dig out the toe for a level area down to the walkway you will be cutting out the support from the slope and it will; slide from the snow and freezing thawing of the winter and spring seasons. You may want to build up the bottom floor of the wood shed to a height that will give you the depth you need and can easily reach the back of will standing on the walkway. This will be there til you are an old man like me. Something like 30 to 40 cm high and a meter to meter and 30cm deep. Then make it a little over head high say 2 meters. If you could slope it to the sidewalk from the back it would keep the snow melt off from behind it but it would pile up the sliding snow on your walkway. So a balance of two evils. Shovel or slide. 10cm square posts would be enough support for the corners of the structure. Have a pair front and back about every two to three meters or as needed. Do some measuring and get some slope level measurements to figure from. Draw it up. Best you can with the design make you wood dimensions work out so to limit waste. It costs a fortune to build the simplest thing. Also what kind of roof will you put on it may determine the pitch and width of it. Make everything work out. Some forethought and planning is necessary so it's not a cluster. I've built three of these in the last year. One a meter wide others two meters wide both 3 meters long. Just small lean to sheds. Simple. Treated wood against rot. Screw about everything together. Makes working alone easier. I have no help either. Good fortune on the projects. Happy Holidays to you and family.
God morning sir, taking a sip of my coffee, smiling and take a moment to appreciate the incredible comment once again! You keep making my day! Truly appreciate this, and the skill and knowledge out there. Damn I appreciate the help and advice. This is gold, pure gold for one who is not quite sure what he is doing. 🙌🏻 I have had a lot of sharpening system in my time, and most take so much effort and fine skills to master. The Ken Onion is just so quick and simple and gives perfect results every time. And it makes me do 5 or 10 knifes in the same time one would have taken med earlier with other systems. Concrete is an area I have little to now experience with, other than mixing it and making it even. This is really valuable information that is easy for me to do inside that house. I have a small oven I can put up there and like you say, cover it with plastic. The slope is something of my concern as well... One idea I had was to wait for the frost to come, dig out a vertical wall and make a natural stone wall with sement to support it before I build. but that seams to be a lot more work, and not guaranteed. I need to draw this out, plan it better and don't start anything before I got a good plan. Rasing it will make sense when it comes to age and my back problems. But you loose 30-40 cm of wood height for 7 or 8 meters? hmmm... maybe make it 3 rows instead of two with less height. I was thinking of using metal roof, like my brother, but the sound from that roof is insane. So I think I want to put on shingel, like there is on the cabin, then the noise from snow and rain will be much less noticeable. Again, thank you so much for this, and wish you a merry Christmas and happy Hollidays. Talk soon. 🙏🏻
@tshansen I looked at some fast setting cement mix. They have some that will set in six hours. Used for slabs walkways etc. Requirement is be over two inches thick. 50mm. About same price fo 20kg bag $6usd. Sakcrete but there are others. Good fortune
Thank you Jim... really appreciate that. I'm having such a great time here, and find great joy and satisfaction in building small stuff like this. Always good to have a project to work on. More to come 🙌🏻
So jealous;) The peace and quitet. Great to see some other kind of movies besides the motorcyling. Which I'm jealous of too haha. Norway is so beautifull. Keep up the good work!!!
I was really skeptical and not sure if I should include this on my channel, because of my so long focus on Motorcycle. But I understand more and more that this here, is just as much me as me traveling and exploring on my motorcycle. And I think stuff like this puts more context into who I am and why I enjoy the things that I do. Appreciate you giving me feedback on this. Motivates me to be even bolder in my video making decisions going forward. Thank you 🙏🏻
@@tshansen If I speak for myself, I´m a motortraveler more than a motorcyclist. Love being on the road by myself exploring not racing. But I enjoy the moments before and after a trip just as much. Being in nature, having a cup of coffee;) enjoy doing simple stuff. It clears my mind just as much as riding. So 'Cabinlife' speaks to me also because of the connection with nature, clearing your mind etc.
Great work with this cabin video, Thomas. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful top-down drone shot with the smooth motion in the beginning. It took me a while to understand that the guy in the camo pants wasn't you. I was wondering why you had changed in between the shots 😁 Fantastic quality as always, and a lot of different activities included.
It took me a couple of tries to get that motion just in the correct speed 🤣 All in the details you know. Yeah, I was gonna include more of my brother in this, because he helped me with some of the work we did, but he was always in such a rush, so every time I took out the camera there was a bad vibe 😂 This is how a normal weekend at the cabin can look like, some relaxing, some projects and a lot of bad weather 😆🙌🏻
To be able to have me sit and spend 26 minutes watching you do something that I do on the regular for the past almost 40 years really says something about you're filmography and story telling skills.....WELL DONE MATE! PS: y'all spell "sement" wrong, it's "cement" 🤣🤣 (joking, of course) Cheers!
That is probably the best compliment I have ever got mate 🙏🏻 I have a hard time with insulation and isolation as well 😂 The Norwegian word is almost the same, so it becomes natural to say it wrong in English 😂 Cheers buddy! Hope you are all good! ☕️
Many thanks Stephen 🙌🏻 I really do enjoy it here, and it makes me rethink a lot where I'm living and where I want to spend the rest of my days growing up 🤣 Merry Christmas to you as well my friend. Thank you so much for the ongoing support and taking time to watch my content. 🙏🏻
Takker og bukker Geir. Hyggelig å høre du likte den. Det går alltid litt tid med slikt, men det er litt av grunnen til at jeg liker det så godt tror jeg. Det er utrolig tilfredstillende å lage et ferdig produkt som andre setter pris på. 🙏🏻
Very lovely video! Love the woodcarving. As for your new wood stack. My advice as a soil investigator, don't dig into that incline. With heavy rainfall the rest will come down. Just find a few points to put poles/stamps as a basis for the back and elevate the rest. In return, stacking will be slightly more back friendly that way as well since you don't need to bend over as much. 😊
Good idea! That is actually a good tip, and because of the long length of the cabin that might be the best idea. I need to draw out some plans, do some measures and see if this is a good option. I'm a little bit scared it will be to high, but I will work on this. Thank you for the good tip Diana. 🙌🏻
@tshansen you might have the ability to build in a double level? Front a bit lower and then another row of stacked wood in the back that starts a bit higher?
Hi Thomas, nice film as always👌 thinking about the wood storage… do you want all the fire wood at that location or just enough for a couple of weeks? Otherwise you just could make some kind of an extension of the deck to stack on. Maybe with the concrete as well. Many ideas😇 anyways, good to see you maintaining that beautiful place🔥👍
Good morning Ricard. Thank you and glad you liked it. I do think I want most of the firewood there. try to make it the same length as the cabin, so I can free up the space and units on top of the property. Maybe I need to look at a solution where I have two separate places for it. hmmm.... I really can't figure this out.
Wir werden hier nie fertig, es gibt immer etwas Neues zu tun und etwas zu erneuern … Die Hütte ist jetzt 25 Jahre alt und immer noch nicht fertig, haha.
Hi again "tshansen" (Tom), Soooooo happy to see yet again some more fantastic videos especially of the "Cabin" and I keep looking for it on Air B&B but it never come's up Ha-Ha!!!!!! Hope ALL is so well with you and the family, very surprised you had to get you brother & Father to help with the "workshop" flooring considering if you had asked you're followers we would have been there in a flash and stayed to make preps for the new LOG STORE Ha-Ha.....Hope the plans are going OK really can imagine the end result with the roof ext, and possibly storage facility,. Anyway, quick on Tom I saw your blade sharpener on this video and wondered what the make is ? I'm using a "LIHURCHEN" it is a hand held and great for knife and axe sharpening as it was the best one in reviews several months back but I would like a bench type for the workshop? Hope this is correct, "god jul og godt nytt år for 2025" and take care.....Roy
Hahaha, this cabin will never be found on Airbnb 😂 But I can imagine it would be big business for someone who does it. Maybe that could be a fun project one time in the future. you never know. Always get some great ideas. The planing goes ahead, I have gotten som really good inputs from you guys and some followers on Patreon. There is a lot of creative minds out there, and I will make some drawings and see what we can make of it. Yes, my blade sharpener is a Ken Onion from Worksharp. It is the easiest and fastet tool I have found to shape up my blades. Haha. This is correct. God Jul og Godt nyttår til deg også for 2025 🙌🏻 Cheers Roy 🥃
Congratulations on the Fu Manchu! Great video; it was so chill I feel like it's time to go to bed. I wonder why you guys insulate the floor before concrete - we only do that if it's a heated space. Cheers!
Thank you mate. We do that to prevent moisture for getting in and ruin our tools, equipment etc. And it is also such a little ekstra cost to do if you want to make it heated later. If you don't do this, the extra work if you want to do it down the line is just not worth it. I have plans of doing parts of the tool shed heated now in the beginning, and I might do the larger room heated as well later on.
@@tshansen Cheers friend. I'm still looking for a rental bike for a Scandinavia trip. I considered buying one but it looks like a lot of red tape. I think I'll have more time in my future, my wife prefers me more when I'm not working - and retirement from corporate world is looking good. I'll have to brush up on my RUclips skills 😆
@@bigswederides I'm not sure if I can point you in any good direction... I suspect it is quite expensive over here. But if you send me an email, I can share with you some rentals here in Norway that can be worth checking out.
Isn't it typical. It's plenty of time to get things done during the spring and summer, no need to rush it. And then one day it starts to snow and you ask yourself: what - is winter already here? 😬😅 I can pay you a visit next spring and give you a hand to get that floor done. That is absolutely not a one man job 😊
Hahaha... I start to understand this more and more Hestad. I was looking back on pictures when we did the roof of the Shed... it is over 2 years old, so times work in a different way at the cabin, for sure. 😂 Would appreciate that. It looks like my brother and father is ready after Christmas, but if they are not, I will send you an invite. But don't forget to bring the camera 🤩
It is actually made by one of my followers. I got it as a gift from him some time ago, it is called Nadir Watches nadirwatches.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWGN6zCl4UPEXzX3bgPVtT9Hv7iOwRU-KWfEKzScYo5P38tvBK
Thank You Christian for your kind words and for noticing :) That's a great compliment. This is my microbrand, hobby project, inspired by outdoors and "adventure". If You are interested let me know - I'm all about personal and direct contact.
Well, way back in the 18th century red paint was popular to use by farmers and fisherman's. Red paint had Iron oxide mixed into it, making it much more weather resistant, and it was quite expensive to get by. what once started as a prevention of rotting wood on the houses became more of a status symbol showing of that you had money. White and Red was really expensive paints back in the days and it became a way of showing that you cared about you property and and had some sort of wealth. Now in the modern times it is more a cultural thing. And it looks really nice towards the green backdrops etc.
I got an idea of trying to carve a spoon, where did you buy the tools? Is biltema working or would you recommend to get a higher quality? Any tip is appreciated 👍
I have actually tried some of the tools from Biltema, and I would say that that is a no go. Unless you plan on resharpening everything. The best tools I have found so far is the Mora 106 carving knife, and their hook knifes. For the price there is just no other tool. I have a couple of spoon knifes from WoodTools in England, that are fairly cheap, and make finer cuts, and you need a hatchet or a axe with a shorter handle to make blanks. Here you can choose a one that is cheap or not to expensive.
Vet ikke om du husker Intruder...etter motorhavari har jeg nå en Yamaha Virago 750 og er snart 73 år ung ... Følger litt med på det du driver med og det virker som du har det bra ! God jul til deg og dine hilsen kverulanten i Brumunddal
Glemmer ikke Intruder med det første nei 😂 Hyggelig å høre at du følger med, og ja jeg trives veldig å sysler på med mine lidenskaper. God Jul til deg også 🙏🏻

@ we are the same, without a doubt! Perfect words and I can relate so much!
Love the cabin vids mate,such a claiming place.
It really is! Thank you Dom 🙌🏻 I find a lot of rest and peace here.
Another cracking. Video Thomas 👌🏼😎
Thank you Simon 🤩 Really enjoy this small projects. Good for both mind and body! 🙌🏻
As usual, great video. Thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻 Appreciate the comment 🙏🏻
Great work with this cabin video, Thomas. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful top-down drone shot with the smooth motion in the beginning. It took me a while to understand that the guy in the camo pants wasn't you. I was wondering why you had changed in between the shots 😁 Fantastic quality as always, and a lot of different activities included.
It took me a couple of tries to get that motion just in the correct speed 🤣 All in the details you know. Yeah, I was gonna include more of my brother in this, because he helped me with some of the work we did, but he was always in such a rush, so every time I took out the camera there was a bad vibe 😂 This is how a normal weekend at the cabin can look like, some relaxing, some projects and a lot of bad weather 😆🙌🏻
watching from korea.
That is amazing... thank you so much 🙌🏻
To be able to have me sit and spend 26 minutes watching you do something that I do on the regular for the past almost 40 years really says something about you're filmography and story telling skills.....WELL DONE MATE!
PS: y'all spell "sement" wrong, it's "cement" 🤣🤣 (joking, of course)
Cheers!
That is probably the best compliment I have ever got mate 🙏🏻 I have a hard time with insulation and isolation as well 😂 The Norwegian word is almost the same, so it becomes natural to say it wrong in English 😂 Cheers buddy! Hope you are all good! ☕️
Nice video mate ;-)
Thanks! 😀 Tony, glad you enjoyed this, a little sidekick from my motorcycle videos 🙌🏻
@@tshansen Your welcome, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Lovely film Thomas...and nice work too! Great to see you happy in your fab cabin...well deserved!! Happy Christmas to you my friend...cheers Steve 💚
Many thanks Stephen 🙌🏻 I really do enjoy it here, and it makes me rethink a lot where I'm living and where I want to spend the rest of my days growing up 🤣 Merry Christmas to you as well my friend. Thank you so much for the ongoing support and taking time to watch my content. 🙏🏻
Vakkert, vakkert, og som vanlig; flott produksjon med mye arbeid som ligger bak! 💪😊
Takker og bukker Geir. Hyggelig å høre du likte den. Det går alltid litt tid med slikt, men det er litt av grunnen til at jeg liker det så godt tror jeg. Det er utrolig tilfredstillende å lage et ferdig produkt som andre setter pris på. 🙏🏻
Very lovely video! Love the woodcarving.
As for your new wood stack. My advice as a soil investigator, don't dig into that incline. With heavy rainfall the rest will come down. Just find a few points to put poles/stamps as a basis for the back and elevate the rest. In return, stacking will be slightly more back friendly that way as well since you don't need to bend over as much. 😊
Good idea! That is actually a good tip, and because of the long length of the cabin that might be the best idea. I need to draw out some plans, do some measures and see if this is a good option. I'm a little bit scared it will be to high, but I will work on this. Thank you for the good tip Diana. 🙌🏻
@tshansen you might have the ability to build in a double level? Front a bit lower and then another row of stacked wood in the back that starts a bit higher?
Interessant og imponerende!!
Takker Stig 🙏🏻 Veldig overrasket over at denne type video gjør det såpass bra.
Hi Thomas, nice film as always👌 thinking about the wood storage… do you want all the fire wood at that location or just enough for a couple of weeks? Otherwise you just could make some kind of an extension of the deck to stack on. Maybe with the concrete as well. Many ideas😇 anyways, good to see you maintaining that beautiful place🔥👍
Good morning Ricard. Thank you and glad you liked it. I do think I want most of the firewood there. try to make it the same length as the cabin, so I can free up the space and units on top of the property. Maybe I need to look at a solution where I have two separate places for it. hmmm.... I really can't figure this out.
Es grenzt an ein Wunder daß das Haus und der Schuppen jemals fertig wurden...
Wir werden hier nie fertig, es gibt immer etwas Neues zu tun und etwas zu erneuern … Die Hütte ist jetzt 25 Jahre alt und immer noch nicht fertig, haha.
Hi again "tshansen" (Tom), Soooooo happy to see yet again some more fantastic videos especially of the "Cabin" and I keep looking for it on Air B&B but it never come's up Ha-Ha!!!!!! Hope ALL is so well with you and the family, very surprised you had to get you brother & Father to help with the "workshop" flooring considering if you had asked you're followers we would have been there in a flash and stayed to make preps for the new LOG STORE Ha-Ha.....Hope the plans are going OK really can imagine the end result with the roof ext, and possibly storage facility,.
Anyway, quick on Tom I saw your blade sharpener on this video and wondered what the make is ? I'm using a "LIHURCHEN" it is a hand held and great for knife and axe sharpening as it was the best one in reviews several months back but I would like a bench type for the workshop? Hope this is correct, "god jul og godt nytt år for 2025" and take care.....Roy
Hahaha, this cabin will never be found on Airbnb 😂 But I can imagine it would be big business for someone who does it. Maybe that could be a fun project one time in the future. you never know. Always get some great ideas. The planing goes ahead, I have gotten som really good inputs from you guys and some followers on Patreon. There is a lot of creative minds out there, and I will make some drawings and see what we can make of it.
Yes, my blade sharpener is a Ken Onion from Worksharp. It is the easiest and fastet tool I have found to shape up my blades. Haha. This is correct. God Jul og Godt nyttår til deg også for 2025 🙌🏻 Cheers Roy 🥃
@@tshansen Thank you again Tomas, will check it out, Hope you have a great week with all your friends and family around, take care, Roy
Congratulations on the Fu Manchu! Great video; it was so chill I feel like it's time to go to bed. I wonder why you guys insulate the floor before concrete - we only do that if it's a heated space. Cheers!
Thank you mate. We do that to prevent moisture for getting in and ruin our tools, equipment etc. And it is also such a little ekstra cost to do if you want to make it heated later. If you don't do this, the extra work if you want to do it down the line is just not worth it. I have plans of doing parts of the tool shed heated now in the beginning, and I might do the larger room heated as well later on.
@@tshansen Cheers friend. I'm still looking for a rental bike for a Scandinavia trip. I considered buying one but it looks like a lot of red tape. I think I'll have more time in my future, my wife prefers me more when I'm not working - and retirement from corporate world is looking good. I'll have to brush up on my RUclips skills 😆
@@bigswederides I'm not sure if I can point you in any good direction... I suspect it is quite expensive over here. But if you send me an email, I can share with you some rentals here in Norway that can be worth checking out.
Isn't it typical. It's plenty of time to get things done during the spring and summer, no need to rush it. And then one day it starts to snow and you ask yourself: what - is winter already here? 😬😅 I can pay you a visit next spring and give you a hand to get that floor done. That is absolutely not a one man job 😊
Hahaha... I start to understand this more and more Hestad. I was looking back on pictures when we did the roof of the Shed... it is over 2 years old, so times work in a different way at the cabin, for sure. 😂 Would appreciate that. It looks like my brother and father is ready after Christmas, but if they are not, I will send you an invite. But don't forget to bring the camera 🤩
Nice firepit. Could you share whitch brand is it. Maybe even a review?
It is a Solo Firepit... you can see sort of a review I made of it here. ruclips.net/video/z-p5vLGPVu8/видео.htmlsi=GQdVhpqpfGu3l1aq&t=1257
Such a beautiful watch you are wearing , what is that?
It is actually made by one of my followers. I got it as a gift from him some time ago, it is called Nadir Watches nadirwatches.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWGN6zCl4UPEXzX3bgPVtT9Hv7iOwRU-KWfEKzScYo5P38tvBK
Thank You Christian for your kind words and for noticing :) That's a great compliment. This is my microbrand, hobby project, inspired by outdoors and "adventure". If You are interested let me know - I'm all about personal and direct contact.
Jeg elsker Norge, for et vakkert område og bedre liv.
Takk 🙏🏻 Hyggelig å høre 🙌🏻
Crazy question, but why is the color of your house so popular in you country?
Well, way back in the 18th century red paint was popular to use by farmers and fisherman's. Red paint had Iron oxide mixed into it, making it much more weather resistant, and it was quite expensive to get by. what once started as a prevention of rotting wood on the houses became more of a status symbol showing of that you had money. White and Red was really expensive paints back in the days and it became a way of showing that you cared about you property and and had some sort of wealth. Now in the modern times it is more a cultural thing. And it looks really nice towards the green backdrops etc.
Hope you don’t mind me correcting you. It’s “insulation”, not “isolation”. Love your channel.!
Yes! Thank you! Haha, as soon as I read this I understand the mistake. Isolation is not the same as insulation 😂 Thank you for this!
du är välkommen
Also, this could be a 'talk to text' mistake. But thanks for pointing it out, Paulwelch.
I got an idea of trying to carve a spoon, where did you buy the tools? Is biltema working or would you recommend to get a higher quality? Any tip is appreciated 👍
I have actually tried some of the tools from Biltema, and I would say that that is a no go. Unless you plan on resharpening everything. The best tools I have found so far is the Mora 106 carving knife, and their hook knifes. For the price there is just no other tool. I have a couple of spoon knifes from WoodTools in England, that are fairly cheap, and make finer cuts, and you need a hatchet or a axe with a shorter handle to make blanks. Here you can choose a one that is cheap or not to expensive.
Don’t care much about flooring, but damn that mustache! 👨🦰
I did not know you was into that, I will make a reel of mye doing duckfaces with this mustache and send you 😂
@ one seeks that one lacks I guess. Don’t send the duckfaces though. My wife will not understand 🙅♂️
Vet ikke om du husker Intruder...etter motorhavari har jeg nå en Yamaha Virago 750 og er snart 73 år ung ...
Følger litt med på det du driver med og det virker som du har det bra !
God jul til deg og dine hilsen kverulanten i Brumunddal
Glemmer ikke Intruder med det første nei 😂 Hyggelig å høre at du følger med, og ja jeg trives veldig å sysler på med mine lidenskaper. God Jul til deg også 🙏🏻
RUclips skills... but hey, great place!
What exactly is RUclips skills? 😂 I guess that is a compliment. Thank you, I really enjoy this place. My own little sanctuary
