2
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:11,910
you have this story

3
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,960
about this log cabin you're building in

4
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:16,640
the forest

5
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,960

8
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:25,359
kind of like a it used to be a

9
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:27,760
campground here years ago and then

10
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,320
people started liking this place and the

11
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,320
surrounding woods so much that they

12
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,399
started living here full time

13
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:37,200
and so there's a mix of sort of summer

14
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:39,120
cabins

15
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,480
some guys just come up here for the

16
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:42,879
winter there's some hunting cabins

17
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:45,120
and cottages and then there's people who

18
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:46,239

19
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:49,840

34
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,119
to see what i can accomplish and uh

35
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:25,759

i still try when i'm there you know like

55
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,399
i'm trying to help out and get the kids

56
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:08,319
away from her so she could do her stuff

57
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,520
do her thing

58
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,280
but then you know like i said i get to

59
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,440
come here and try to do this thing

60
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,440
and it's been like uh

61
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,280
it's been the hardest

62
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:19,599
but also the most rewarding thing i've

63
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:22,000
ever done in my life so far because i

64
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,760
wanted to i wanted to do this thing my

65
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:25,360
whole life and uh you could never i

66
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:27,520
could never find the time i used to work

67
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:30,000
a corporate job in a cubicle where i

68
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:31,920
want to blow my brains out every day you

69
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:32,959
know

70
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,120
that kind of job so this

71
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:37,680
became sort of like uh a fantasy to me

72
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,239
like i got to get out of this [\h__\h]

73
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,239
cubicle and go build a cabin in the

74
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,640
woods and be happy

75
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,200
it's funny how that happens sometimes

76
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,800
yeah

77
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:50,640
i've had enough of this i've had enough

78
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:53,120
of this cubicle i used to say i was very

79
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:54,640
successful in the corporate world that

80
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,760
one thing

81
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:57,120
getting fired

83
00:03:01,589 --> 00:03:00,239
i would just find a [\h__\h] way like

84
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,599
after a while i would just become

85
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:03,840
disgusted enough with the corporate

86
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,319
nonsense [\h__\h] and the you know it's

to give you just enough money to get by

132
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:49,440
and survive but not do too well

133
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:50,720

[\h__\h] job you hate because you need all

137
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,080
this money to pay people to do

138
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,240
everything for you pay somebody to heat

139

140
00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:05,919

141
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,080
electricity and the cabin for me has

142
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,560
been like an escape like oh i'm gonna

143
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,960
figure this [\h__\h] out i one by one we'll

144
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:14,880
figure it out i'm not paying a water

145
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:17,919
bill you know there's a community well

146
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:20,560
so i have to haul in all the water

147
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:21,600
okay

148
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:23,440
but i don't pay a water bill and i don't

149
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:26,800
worry about a water bill and then uh

150
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,840
you know we don't pay for sewage or uh

151
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:31,520
you know sewage treatment or any of that

152
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,320
we have a composting toilet which works

153
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:36,960
better than i thought

154
00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:39,680
yeah it's not it's not that bad like

155
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,400
before that we had like a uh we had a

156
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,479
bathroom and a camper and we had to

157
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,639
empty that tank and that was gross the

158
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:48,880
composted toilets not that bad

159
00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:51,360
and then so uh heat i don't have to pay

160
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:53,919
for heat i'm in a forest there's wood

161
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:55,759
everywhere i used it to build the cabin

162
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,880
i used to

163
00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:59,120
yeah i use it to heat the cabin

164
00:06:01,749 --> 00:06:00,000
so

165
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:01,759
the only thing left i'm paying for right

166
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,800
now is like 30 a month for electricity

167
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:06,639
because we actually have on grid power

168
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:09,520
here perhaps okay i have some small

169
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,120
solar systems that i built and

170
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:14,160
eventually we're gonna cut that cord but

171
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,840
while i'm building the cabin i just for

172
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,440
30 dollars a month i said i don't want

173
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:19,600
to worry about how power and all these

174
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,360
power tools or

175
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,120
you know so it's nice

176
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,759
right now i have the only thing once i

177
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,600
cut the power here i can't use like

178
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,840
these electric heaters or like a

179
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,240
microwave anymore because it's too high

180
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:34,479
wattage and it'll kill the systems that

181
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:36,240
i'm going to have but

182
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:38,720
so i'll miss that a little bit but so we

183
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,520
hope they know about things yeah so soon

184
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:43,199
we're going to cut the power cord and we

185
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:45,680
won't we won't be paying for that the

186
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,560
only thing that we'll pay here is uh

187
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:51,280
annual taxes which are like

188
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:55,280
300 a year and by the way this this land

189
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,280
everything here is paid for i didn't

190
00:07:01,189 --> 00:07:00,240
mortgage anything i don't have a payment

191
00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:01,199
nothing

192
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,599
there was a little bit of money left

193
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:07,280
over and i bought this

194
00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:09,440
pretty good-sized platter i came from

195
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:11,360
this city where everybody's so crammed

196
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:14,240
in and your house is 10 feet wide

197
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:17,840
toilets flush your house is 10 feet wide

198
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:20,800
and and i grew up in row houses so that

199
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,720
you know there'd be this huge row and

200
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:24,800
and everybody gets a little slice this

201
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,919
bit you know

202
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,440
and this is what you're going to live in

203
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:29,599
so i don't know it's it's about an acre

204
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,400
here

205
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:32,960
and i bought this place for like uh

206
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:35,840
something like 12 or 13 000

207
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:38,319
oh and thank god

208
00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:41,599
thank god i i had the money to just go

209
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,479
here

210
00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:44,720
now it's mine and i own it and anything

211
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:47,360
that i build here is just investing in

212
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:48,639
my future

213
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:51,120
because that's everything's paid for

214
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:53,039
and people it's surprising to some

215
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:54,800
people that you can do that but if you

216
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:57,360
look around in rural areas

217
00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:00,479
or uh undervalued places

218
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,400
challenging land let's say like if

219
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:04,400
there's if it's mountainous like here

220
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:07,120
yeah yeah people will sell you an acre

221
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:09,440
for ten or fifteen thousand dollars all

222
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:11,520
over the place at least in my state and

223
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:13,840
the surrounding states i almost ended up

224
00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:15,840
in new jersey but the taxes there are so

225
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:16,879
high

226
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:19,360
even the real estate taxes you know just

227
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:20,800
it would be

228
00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,160
thousands

229
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:24,319
for the same size land that i got here

230
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:26,240
i'm in the pennsylvania mountains here

231
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:27,919
so we went with that but you could find

232
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,960
it if you look i looked for two years

233
00:08:34,670 --> 00:08:32,959
you know every day i was i was looking

234
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,680
at craigslist and

235
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,440
landwatch.com is a good place to check

236
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,279
and uh i was checking with local

237
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:41,919
realtors or you know but eventually i

238
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:44,800
found this place and uh i just bought it

239
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:45,760
cash

240
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:48,000
and uh and then i'm done and i just

241
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:50,240
started you know as soon as we bought

242
00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:53,120
this place i just started building it up

243
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:56,959
yeah that's oh boy i want to know about

244
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,080
the construction it is just the most

245
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,560
fascinating i can call it looking at

246
00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:04,320
your wall

247
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:06,080
behind you

248
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:07,920
yeah this is just actually this is just

249
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,080
siding though this is uh

250
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,480
behind me is just little slices of wood

251
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,480
nailed up onto the wall so that it

252
00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:16,560
matches the rest but the rest of the

253
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:19,120
cabin is uh done with something called

254
00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:22,720
cordwood masonry which is essentially

255
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:25,040
you're building a wall but instead of

256
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,640
using bricks or stones you're using logs

257
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:30,640
and uh it's an ancient building

258
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:32,560
technique it's something i always wanted

259
00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,880
to learn and uh

260
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:36,240
the reason that i chose that

261
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:38,480
construction method is very is is very

262
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:39,440
simple

263
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:42,560
in a typical log cabin this one is uh 12

264
00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,240
by 24.

265
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:46,480
i would never working by myself be able

266
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:49,760
to lift those big heavy logs 10 feet in

267
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,640
the air by myself to stack them to you

268
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,320
know do that typical log cabin that

269
00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:56,560
everybody sees

270
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:59,279
yeah yeah so i was looking for these all

271
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:00,880
i was looking for alternatives and i

272
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,800
found this thing called cordwood masonry

273
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:05,200
which basically instead of

274
00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:06,480
you chop up

275
00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,560
these walls are two foot thick

276
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:10,399
so basically you cut a bunch of logs

277
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:13,200
that are two foot thick lay them down on

278
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,800
a stone footer

279
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,320
and then cement

280
00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:19,120
lay another bunch of course uh over and

281
00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:20,079
it's like

282
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,000
it's just like building a brick wall but

283
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:24,240
with logs instead of with

284
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:25,600
with uh

285
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,320
with bricks and this allowed me by

286
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:30,640
myself to do all this because i wouldn't

287
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:32,320
have been able to the other way without

288
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,600
a crane and a bunch of pulleys or a lot

289
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,200
normally when somebody builds a log

290
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:39,120
cabin like that there's four or five

291
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:40,800
guys doing it so that you have the

292
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:43,120
muscle power that you need if you don't

293
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,480
have a machine

294
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:46,720
uh to do this work

295
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,360
and the varying sizes

296
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:52,079
that is just so pleasing to the eye the

297
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:53,839
the

298
00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,000
i think as i go i'm getting i got really

299
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:00,480
good at it after a while when i first

300
00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:02,320
started it was just like

301
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:04,880
i wasn't being very artistic just

302
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:06,560
kind of looking at the logs and like

303
00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:08,880
which one looks like it'll fit over here

304
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:11,360
you know this big pile of logs that i

305
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:13,760
had and i would just go in there and

306
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:16,640
find puzzle pieces and you know but

307
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:18,800
eventually i got a little more artistic

308
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:21,760
at it and able to to see like stand back

309
00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:22,640
and go

310
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:24,480
yeah you know this is how we can make it

311
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:26,079
a little more pleasing to the eye i

312
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:29,120
started liking angles like purposefully

313
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:30,480
making something a little crooked just

314
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:33,120
so you can get you know the angle

315
00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:36,480
it looks better that way oh i i love

316
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:39,279
looking at it i just it i yeah it's art

317
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,710
you know what if you want to just for

318
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:49,040
visual aid let me try to find it i i

319
00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:51,200
will share just a picture of the the

320
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,440
front side well really it's the side of

321
00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:54,959
the cabin but let me see if i can find

322
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:58,240
that one second i just i just oh yeah

323
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,279
here i shared it and i forgot but i can

324
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:03,920
i could share this so let me come back

325
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:06,160
let me come back and we'll uh

326
00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:07,440
share that

327
00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:08,839
okay

328
00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,800
uh select window or screen

329
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:14,399
uh

330
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:24,160
oh select the window or screen and then

331
00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:25,839
at the bottom of our

332
00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:26,880

i

340
00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:55,519
cannot allow permanent access to your

341
00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:56,480
screen

342
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:58,480
oh let me try it with the uh

343
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,079

00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,750
oh wait a minute here we go yeah it's

346
00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:13,920
making me share us let me see if i can

347
00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:16,079
get

348
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:19,360
okay there's okay there it is

349
00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:22,720
oh that was it oh now it's back to us

350
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,560
yeah i don't know what okay so i have to

351
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,880
just stay on it then can you see the

352
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:28,320
picture of the cabin

353
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:30,800
there it is oh god yeah

354
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,440
yeah so so here we could see this is

355
00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:35,519
actually the side of the cabin and but

356
00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:37,920
you can give everybody could see a

357
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:41,040
look of this cordwood masonry

358
00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:43,680
so this is just a bunch of logs

359
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:46,000
glued together with cement

360
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:47,839
and then these two front windows i'm

361
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:50,880
also real big on i don't want to uh take

362
00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:53,839
a loan out to to buy building materials

363
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:56,160
everything that i do here is as you go

364
00:14:02,389 --> 00:13:59,199
so these two big picture windows

365
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:02,399
uh those came they they were once glass

366
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,800
sliding doors so we just repurposed them

367
00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,560
put them in a wood frame they don't open

368
00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:08,160
but i don't i don't need them to there's

369
00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:10,320
two other windows on the front and back

370
00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:13,199
wall that's one thing i wanted to

371
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:14,639
mention to you

372
00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:17,519
because i i've done like renovation a

373
00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:20,959
little bit and stuff and hanging windows

374
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:21,839
is

375
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:24,240
one of the most difficult jobs in

376
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,959
construction at times

377
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:28,560
and that's even if you have them like

378
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:31,600
coastal made even sometimes you know you

379
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:33,760
take one out and put it back after you

380
00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:36,240
that's hard but you just

381
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,959
you take random

382
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:40,320
windows

383
00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:42,320
yeah and and actually it's easier you

384
00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:43,600
make them harder

385
00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:45,839
because what i did for this is those are

386
00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,079
basically these two uh

387
00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:50,240
former sliding glass doors that got put

388
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:52,800
into a wood frame and what you do is you

389
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,079
just put them

390
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,399
like on top of the wall once you get it

391
00:15:01,670 --> 00:14:58,800
so far up and then level it all out and

392
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:01,680
then i'm building the logs around that

393
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:03,199
frame wow

394
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:04,560
yeah

395
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:07,839
so that's one view of this uh okay i'll

396
00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,560
show you what did i do what did i do oh

397
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:13,199
and this is uh this is some

398
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,240
okay there oh those are the slices

399
00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:18,480
yeah this is again uh this is again my

400
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:20,560
plan for the floor of the sunroom is

401
00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:23,120
gonna be these big log slices

402
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:25,279
because i've got logs and you know

403
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:27,760
another thing that happened is

404
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:31,680
the uh covid hit and the price of lumber

405
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:33,839
and everything doubled so i was gonna

406
00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:36,160
that's right i was gonna do things a

407
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:38,480
certain way and eventually i went oh i

408
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:40,320
can't do things the way that i wanted to

409
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:42,320
because it's going to cost too much

410
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,279
with lumber so we i just changed the

411
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:47,440
plan and this is uh

412
00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,600
part of the sun room that's being built

413
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:51,839
on the other side of look at look at the

414
00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:55,360
process there you go

415
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:58,480
and there today i finished this part uh

416
00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:00,320
just about there's going to be a door

417
00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:02,800
here and then there's more glass here

418
00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:04,399
and i have to finish this and this is

419
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:06,160
just

420
00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:08,480
these windows all came free all every

421
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,920
one of them

422
00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:11,920
uh some of these i was picking out of

423
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:13,839
the trash and putting in the woodshed on

424
00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:16,160
the side for like a year i knew that we

425
00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:18,240
would want a greenhouse or a sunroom my

426
00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:19,680
my wife

427
00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,800
uh

428
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,639
you know i'm not sure

429
00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:24,160
uh

430
00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:25,519
she's kind of like you really got to

431
00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:27,519
build another room but just to even out

432
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,120
the cabin because it looked weird from

433
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:31,040
the front without this other room on the

434
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:32,560
side

435
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:35,680
and this is the south facing wall so

436
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:38,399
this is going to be a big thermal oven

437
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:40,480
because we have very harsh winters here

438
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:42,240
and it should provide a great deal of

439
00:16:46,629 --> 00:16:44,160
free heat because there'll be a door

440
00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:46,639
between the kitchen room

441
00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,399
which i can show you the kitchen room

442
00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:49,759
there's going to be a door over here

443
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:51,759
between the kitchen room and this

444
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:52,800
sunroom

445
00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,680
so

446
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:55,839
you know i don't wake up very early

447
00:16:59,990 --> 00:16:58,800
probably 10 or 11 by 10 or 11 even on a

448
00:17:01,590 --> 00:17:00,000
good

449
00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:01,600
cold winter's day

450
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:05,439
if it's a sunny day it'll be 70 or 80 in

451
00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:07,600
there so i can open the door and let the

452
00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:09,679
heat in the rest of the cabin

453
00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:10,799
nice

454
00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:13,199
and this is another problem that i had i

455
00:17:16,390 --> 00:17:14,959
realized i had these

456
00:17:18,309 --> 00:17:16,400
doors that somebody gave me but they

457
00:17:19,990 --> 00:17:18,319
were really thin and you couldn't fit

458
00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:20,000
like a couch or something so i ended up

459
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:22,720
having to build another door

460
00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:25,120
this is a door and a door frame and this

461
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:27,439
is built out of old wood windows trash

462
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:29,600
picked and just some scraps

463
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,240
um and then i wanted to show you the uh

464
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:33,919
this is the new wood stove that i just

465
00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:36,799
put in the kitchen that is beautiful

466
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:39,039
yeah yeah it's a wood cook stove which

467
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:40,640
is the most efficient thing that you

468
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,720
could have because uh it's gonna heat

469
00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:45,039
the cabin plus there's an oven here so

470
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:46,880
you could bake bread whatever you want

471
00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,880
to do it's a little rusty i just got

472
00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,200
this and it needs to be oily somebody

473
00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,120
somebody painted it and you don't paint

474
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,799
the top of a wood stove they just use it

475
00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:56,799
as a decoration though for years they

476
00:18:01,750 --> 00:17:59,600
never hooked it up or used it so that

477
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:01,760
the paint's going to peel off and uh and

478
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:04,640
flake off as i keep probably two or

479
00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:06,240
three more burns and then you stove

480
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:07,919
polish the top of it with this black

481
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:09,760
stove polish but i can show you the

482
00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:12,320
kitchen room that's in the kitchen room

483
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:14,000
so this is next to the greenhouse so the

484
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:15,360
door to the greenhouse is going to be on

485
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:17,200
this side over here

486
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:19,200
and uh but this is the new wood cook

487
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:21,200
stove which i had a different wood stove

488
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:23,679
this one i got for 40 bucks this thing

489
00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:25,760
was full

490
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:28,240
i never paid somebody so fast in my life

491
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,640
i always wanted one so i was like

492
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,559
all right lady and i almost felt like i

493
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:34,400
was robbing her because these this could

494
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:36,000
have been the others that i looked at

495
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:38,320
were like 800 or 1000

496
00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,480
but they were much much bigger and huge

497
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:42,240
and really heavy this one was really

498
00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:44,480
small and this is going in a room that's

499
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:45,919
12 by

500
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:48,640
16 the kitchen oh wow so it's the

501
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:50,720
perfect size for that

502
00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:01,510
it's properly vented good and you know

503
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:03,840
do would you have to clean that out uh

504
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:06,640
every yeah every year i i take the pipe

505
00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:08,400
out of the back of the wall

506
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:10,080
from the other side from the outside or

507
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,760
what used to be the outside but now it's

508
00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:13,280
going to go up through the

509
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:14,799
through the greenhouse but yeah it's

510
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,480
easy you just take you just kind of take

511
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,240
it apart clean it out make sure there's

512
00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:20,400
no creosote or mess in there yeah

513
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:21,679
because the last thing you want is a

514
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,799
chimney fire but it's no sure what heat

515
00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:27,600
is the best heat too like i it's my

516
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:29,360
favorite there's nothing better than

517
00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:31,760
sitting in front of that fire on a cold

518
00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:32,559
night

519
00:19:40,549 --> 00:19:34,960
oh yeah yeah yeah and there's there's a

520
00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:42,070
there we go

521
00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:43,679
this is so

522
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:47,039
fascinating oh my goodness okay

523
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:49,520
so there was a question in the chat

524
00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,120
about are you worried about termites um

525
00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:55,280
yeah everybody says here's the here's a

526
00:19:59,830 --> 00:19:57,919
few things that everybody says um and

527
00:20:02,310 --> 00:19:59,840
and that's usually uh

528
00:20:04,149 --> 00:20:02,320
it's it's a fair question right uh

529
00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:04,159
termites don't you worry about termites

530
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,240
if termites got involved in this cabin

531
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:08,960
that would be really bad and detrimental

532
00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:09,679
but

533
00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:13,039
for a time after uh cubicle land i was

534
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:14,559
an exterminator

535
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:15,360
so

536
00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:18,000
i really was for like a short time but i

537
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:19,919
learned i learned enough and here's one

538
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:21,440
of the things that i learned any

539
00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:23,840
building made out of wood

540
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:25,760
has got to be treated

541
00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:27,840
right so just to prevent the passages

542
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:29,919
all you do is do a spray about a foot or

543
00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:31,440
two up the wall

544
00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:34,799
and and in the ground around the cabin

545
00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:36,880
yeah and uh you'll never have termite

546
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:39,360
problems

547
00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:41,200
and the second thing that people

548
00:20:45,909 --> 00:20:43,200
the second thing that people say is is

549
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,919
that's gonna rot and uh there's a key to

550
00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:48,080
that is that there's a big overhang so

551
00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:50,080
in other words the walls like this and

552
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:51,919
there's an overhang

553
00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:53,120
on the roof

554
00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,200
so that any water is not going to touch

555
00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:57,120
the face of the logs

556
00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:58,159
and on the front here we're going to

557
00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:00,080
have a front porch so that'll be covered

558
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:02,880
on the side is a big overhang so those

559
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:04,400
are the two big concerns that people

560
00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:05,600
have when they see it it's like well it

561
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:08,080
looks nice but it's going to rot or

562
00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:09,679
termites will eat it

563
00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:10,799
and and

564
00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:11,919
you know

565
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:13,440
those are

566
00:21:17,430 --> 00:21:15,600
the there's cordwood buildings like this

567
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:17,440
built in europe that are over a thousand

568
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:18,720
years old

569
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:20,720
and they're still they're still standing

570
00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:22,480
and that's the key you gotta have a big

571
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:23,600
overhang

572
00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:26,400
and uh do some treatment make sure that

573
00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:29,520
you don't have uh pest problems you know

574
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:31,360
so i treat the whole building just in

575
00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:32,880
case because you could have carpenter

576
00:21:37,909 --> 00:21:35,919
bees too or carpenter ants or but once

577
00:21:39,029 --> 00:21:37,919
you put that sort of protective coating

578
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:39,039
on that

579
00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:41,120
you know bugs might go to crawl on it

580
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:43,760
and then and they're they're dealt with

581
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:47,039
you know yeah dealt with i i'd like that

582
00:21:52,470 --> 00:21:50,720
it's nice and tidy they're dealt with

583
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:52,480
yeah so yeah but it's the last thing

584
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:54,080
after spending like

585
00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:55,840
so much time in my life putting this

586
00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:57,679
thing together do i want to see a bunch

587
00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,559
of termites eat it for lunch you know or

588
00:22:03,909 --> 00:22:02,000
cause damage

589
00:22:06,549 --> 00:22:03,919
but the other good news is that

590
00:22:08,950 --> 00:22:06,559
this is very easily repaired if there is

591
00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:08,960
a like let's say

592
00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:11,360
like one of the logs rots in the wall

593
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:13,039
for whatever reason

594
00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:15,520
you basically just chisel around the

595
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:17,919
mortar joint and knock that rotten log

596
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:20,559
out and find a log about the same size

597
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:22,720
and jam it in and re-mortar

598
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:27,909
okay do you use a special kind of mortar

599
00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:31,360
obviously do you uh no actually i i i

600
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:33,440
made a huge mistake in doing it this way

601
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:36,960
but i i wanted convenience right

602
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:39,200
the uh the normal way to do this would

603
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:40,960
be that you have to have

604
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:42,559
all these different dry ingredients

605
00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:45,760
portland cement sand lime

606
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:47,360
all these things

607
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:50,080
so for ease of use i decided to just use

608
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:52,880
straight type s mortar out of uh home

609
00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:56,720
depot it's like seven dollars a bag

610
00:23:01,750 --> 00:22:59,360
but the downside is is that i probably

611
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:01,760
spent a little more than twice as much

612
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:03,520
doing it that way if i would have bought

613
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:05,600
the dry ingredients and mixed it it's

614
00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:07,200
like three of these and one of the you

615
00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:10,240
know i just said i don't want to be it's

616
00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:12,240
it's enough work

617
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,039
to just mix a bag of pre-mixed

618
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:17,520
mortar mix yeah because i did all this i

619
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:20,720
did most of this by hand in a pail

620
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:22,720
one of my neighbors one of my neighbors

621
00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:24,400
felt bad for me

622
00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:26,000
he kept seeing me

623
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,559
you know with a hoe and a pail

624
00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:30,480
and he came over a bunch of times and he

625
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:32,640
said i got a cement mixer man this will

626
00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:34,799
save you so much time but i was worried

627
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,159
that i would break it or something it's

628
00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:38,480
expensive that's expensive tool

629
00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:41,360
so eventually though i said i i got so

630
00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:43,840
tired and my back started hurting so bad

631
00:23:48,789 --> 00:23:46,240
that i caved and so for the last like

632
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:48,799
quarter of the way up these walls uh i

633
00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:50,400
used

634
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:52,480
an electric cement mixer

635
00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,679
oh well is he the same guy with the the

636
00:24:00,149 --> 00:23:58,159
the tractor thingy yes yeah with the

637
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:00,159
bobcat yeah he's got every tool

638
00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,960
imaginable and uh you know he like

639
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:04,640
builds decks and stuff for a living and

640
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:07,600
he's got i i was i lucked out buying

641
00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:09,120
this place because across the street

642
00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:10,240
from me is

643
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:12,159
the best neighbor ever he's got every

644
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:14,000
tool imaginable he's always loaning me

645
00:24:17,909 --> 00:24:15,360
tools or like

646
00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:17,919
showing me too like i i didn't want to

647
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:20,640
pay an electrician to wire this room so

648
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:22,480
i didn't know how to do it he showed me

649
00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:25,520
how to do it oh my god and then i went

650
00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:27,200
and did the rest of them you know like

651
00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:29,279
there's five or six outlets in here so

652
00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:31,279
he showed me one and then i went it's

653
00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:35,039
three wires thanks now i know

654
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:35,919
you know

655
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:40,549
because you need that

656
00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:42,400
yeah and then this is a big thing for me

657
00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:44,240
here is like i don't want to pay anybody

658
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:46,880
to do anything that i can learn myself

659
00:24:51,830 --> 00:24:49,600
yeah it becomes empowering and i feel

660
00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:51,840
like i'm becoming more self-reliant now

661
00:24:55,909 --> 00:24:54,080
i will never call an electrician for

662
00:24:57,909 --> 00:24:55,919
anything unless there's some kind of

663
00:24:59,190 --> 00:24:57,919
county and you have to have a certified

664
00:25:01,830 --> 00:24:59,200
electrician do something you know

665
00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:01,840
anymore and have a pass inspection yeah

666
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:02,960
but actually

667
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:06,000
i've termed this a recreational cabin

668
00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:08,720
to get around the building codes and uh

669
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:10,640
once you file an affidavit with a local

670
00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:11,840
township

671
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:14,880
uh and a plot plan then i'm exempt from

672
00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:16,400
all building codes

673
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:19,919
so that's so smart yeah i don't want so

674
00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:22,080
like how besides what am i supposed to

675
00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:24,320
do draw a bunch of lobs glued together

676
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:25,840
like here's how i'm building this place

677
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,120
it's like

678
00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:29,520
you want plans i don't have plans i got

679
00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:31,679
a pile of logs out on the side of the

680
00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:34,080
cabin i'm building and

681
00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,080
i'm just throwing them together

682
00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:38,240
and uh but i gotta say

683
00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:39,840
it's not that this place is not well

684
00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:42,240
built the walls are two foot thick it's

685
00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:43,679
so

686
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:48,710
and very very sturdy uh it's more sturdy

687
00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:50,080
than like if you would have built this

688
00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:52,400
out of like home depot two by fours and

689
00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,080
siding and insulation and all that oh no

690
00:26:00,390 --> 00:25:58,480
no [\h__\h] at what

691
00:26:01,909 --> 00:26:00,400
16-inch centers

692
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:01,919
on the this

693
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:03,760
all that [\h__\h] yeah

694
00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:04,640
but

695
00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:05,360
this

696
00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:06,960
year construction

697
00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:09,360
vaguely reminded me of

698
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:16,710
and of the inside of of your place that

699
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:19,360
yo it's smoother than the outside the

700
00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:22,559
outside you have sticky outs and

701
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,679
places but on and that reminds me of a

702
00:26:30,310 --> 00:26:27,679
bomb yeah it still actually still needs

703
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:30,320
it still needs i still need a day or uh

704
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:32,480
well i probably need like three or four

705
00:26:36,870 --> 00:26:34,559
days to go around the outside and sort

706
00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:36,880
of like try to pretty it up i did that

707
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:39,360
on the inside i think it's pretty like

708
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:41,520
it is outside yeah it's okay but it

709
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,000
probably means yeah you gotta go

710
00:26:48,149 --> 00:26:46,320
i'm a little ocd so i go around and look

711
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:48,159
at the walls like oh it looks like it

712
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:50,400
needs a little more over here in the in

713
00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:53,360
that you know space and like

714
00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:54,559
i'm probably going to be doing that for

715
00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:55,760
some time

716
00:27:01,110 --> 00:26:59,200
yeah oh it's so exciting so you're just

717
00:27:01,909 --> 00:27:01,120
now finishing up

718
00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:01,919
the

719
00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:02,960
um

720
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,159
the sun room well i finished uh today i

721
00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:08,480
finished this last section of of wall

722
00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:11,120
out of like windows and the glass door

723
00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:13,360
goes there and tomorrow i'm going to be

724
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,799
filling in

725
00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:17,200
whatever didn't fit if that makes sense

726
00:27:21,269 --> 00:27:19,360
like whatever i could do i just fill in

727
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:21,279
the blanks so now i have a section

728
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,360
that's going to be stone

729
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:25,360
and uh that's another thing that i

730
00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:26,720
learned here i kind of learned stone

731
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:28,960
masonry out of uh

732
00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:32,080
out of necessity because uh

733
00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:34,399
not necessity really but like it's nice

734
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:36,000
to be able to build a stone hearth

735
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:39,120
yourself to put a wood stove on so i

736
00:27:43,269 --> 00:27:40,960
just and we're in the mountains there's

737
00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:43,279
big flat stones everywhere i don't even

738
00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:45,200
have to dig them out you just go around

739
00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:46,880
and pick them up

740
00:27:49,669 --> 00:27:48,399
so i go around and

741
00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:49,679
that's another thing i've learned is

742
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:50,640
that

743
00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:52,960
the forest will provide like okay i

744
00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:55,600
gotta build this earth i just go around

745
00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:57,120
my land and look around for the

746
00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,720
resources and that's kind of how i'm

747
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,480
building this place is like well i've

748
00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:02,399
got plenty of stone

749
00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:05,360
so i'm gonna i built a stone shower

750
00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:07,840
because i could oh and because i

751
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:09,200
couldn't i didn't have the money

752
00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:11,120
honestly for this

753
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:13,679
there was a like a shower stall kit at

754
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:16,080
home depot it's like 150

755
00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:18,640
or maybe a little more yeah and i just

756
00:28:23,909 --> 00:28:19,760
said

757
00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:23,919
i i can do this with stones and so i

758
00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:25,919
just built like a

759
00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:28,080
stone back wall and

760
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:30,399
the sort of stand that you stand on you

761
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:33,520
know and it's so far it's worked out

762
00:28:38,070 --> 00:28:36,559
i think that's absolutely

763
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:38,080
amazing

764
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:39,679
yeah

765
00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:41,279
it's kind of crazy though because it

766
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:43,360
didn't think it didn't take like three

767
00:28:48,070 --> 00:28:45,360
weekends it took three weekends to do

768
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:48,080
that stone shower though where you know

769
00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:49,679
everything here is kind of like i have

770
00:28:53,909 --> 00:28:52,080
to trade my time for the money because

771
00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:53,919
if i had the two hundred dollars to just

772
00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:55,520
go to home depot it would have been done

773
00:28:58,950 --> 00:28:56,720
in a day

774
00:29:01,430 --> 00:28:58,960
yeah so instead of a day now i'm three

775
00:29:03,590 --> 00:29:01,440
or four days but when i'm done it's much

776
00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:03,600
more personal and it's much more custom

777
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:05,600
than like and it looks like it belongs

778
00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:08,480
in a log cabin a plastic a plastic

779
00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:10,159
shower stall no

780
00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:24,149
well i'm gonna have to really scroll

781
00:29:28,789 --> 00:29:26,799
back i'm sure that i put on twitter so

782
00:29:30,470 --> 00:29:28,799

thrilled

and all i could do when i opened it was

810
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:36,399
just to sit and look at it for

811
00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:39,760

love to

819
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:07,840
have a praying mantis

820
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,760
yeah yeah because they have a lot of

821
00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:11,760
meaning in my life it's really the

822
00:31:17,029 --> 00:31:15,039
oddest story and i told part of it and

823
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:17,039
somebody picked up on it and

824
00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:19,760
sent me a praying mantis pen

825
00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:21,120
yeah

826
00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:24,080
and it's all it's it it's jeweled and

867
00:33:05,269 --> 00:33:04,080
big shower curtain around this side i

868
00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:05,279
didn't wanna

869
00:33:09,590 --> 00:33:07,360
i was gonna put a wall up this side too

870
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:09,600
but then getting stuff in or out the

871
00:33:14,230 --> 00:33:11,600
doors right here like there's a front

872
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:14,240
door right there so yeah but this is

873
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:16,240
just one of those things like

874
00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:18,240
i need a shower or a place to take a

875
00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:20,399
shower and this was done because it's

876
00:33:25,509 --> 00:33:22,640
freezing as hell outside trying to take

877
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:25,519
it back we had bag showers before this

878
00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:28,320
and i would just go outside but like

879
00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:30,960
if it's 20 outside or 10 outside you

880
00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:32,880
don't want to do that so

881
00:33:36,389 --> 00:33:34,880
i don't want to do that where does the

882
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:36,399
water run

883
00:33:43,269 --> 00:33:39,360
this goes outside into a flower bed oh

884
00:33:47,909 --> 00:33:45,029
so that's

885
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:47,919
that's basically what happens

886
00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:51,039
yeah that is just absolutely stunning

887
00:33:57,269 --> 00:33:54,000
steve let me stop that there we go

888
00:34:00,389 --> 00:33:57,279
yeah and i i found there's some other uh

889
00:34:02,789 --> 00:34:00,399
oh see if i can i gotta scroll back now

890
00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:02,799
but i saw okay

891
00:34:06,630 --> 00:34:04,720
a bunch of other stuff

892
00:34:09,109 --> 00:34:06,640
that i could just share

893
00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:09,119
astounding it just

894
00:34:13,589 --> 00:34:11,919
boy i've always wanted to do i always

895
00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:13,599
thought about doing something like this

896
00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:16,240
you just i didn't die

897
00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:16,960
yeah

898
00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:19,440
i did too so you know i think one of the

899
00:34:24,069 --> 00:34:21,520
reasons that this place came together

900
00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:24,079
like it did is because i sat in a sad

901
00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:26,560
cubicle for years dreaming about doing

902
00:34:32,149 --> 00:34:29,440
it and imagining how the shower would

903
00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:32,159
look or imagining like what the wood

904
00:34:36,069 --> 00:34:34,560
stove would look like what the hearse to

905
00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:36,079
the wood stove would look like what the

906
00:34:40,310 --> 00:34:38,399
walls would look like so maybe i

907
00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:40,320
visualized this for a long time and

908
00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:41,919
that's why it was easier for me to

909
00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:44,560
manifest it into reality but it's still

910
00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:46,879
amazing to me sometimes to go like

911
00:34:51,750 --> 00:34:49,200
i i just pulled this thing literally out

912
00:34:54,149 --> 00:34:51,760
of out of my daydreams and it's coming

913
00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:54,159
out pretty close to those daydreams so

914
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:55,119
yeah

915
00:34:58,630 --> 00:34:56,879
and it's still

916
00:35:00,790 --> 00:34:58,640
this unreal

917
00:35:03,430 --> 00:35:00,800
and you have a neighbor with equipment

918
00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:03,440
for [\h__\h] sake yeah yeah

919
00:35:07,109 --> 00:35:04,720
yeah actually

920
00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:07,119
he's uh he's really a large part to why

921
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:08,720

922
00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:09,920

937
00:35:49,030 --> 00:35:47,440
was so thankful to have this place

938
00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:49,040
because if not for this place we would

939
00:35:53,589 --> 00:35:51,599
have nothing to do all summer

940
00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:53,599
we could come here and we could have

941
00:35:59,510 --> 00:35:55,760
cookouts and there's a lake right nearby

942
00:36:01,750 --> 00:35:59,520

the front of the cabin so far so there's

959
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:35,280
some rooms going over here on this side

960
00:36:40,069 --> 00:36:37,760
again an angled roof coming down

961
00:36:42,069 --> 00:36:40,079
on this side over here this is our fire

962
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:42,079
pit where we have a bunch of grills and

963

00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:56,160
and the composting toilet and then

969
00:37:01,349 --> 00:36:57,680
behind this room

970
00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:01,359
which is really like a kitch eat-in

971
00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:03,200
kitchen and there's a couch in there

972
00:37:08,790 --> 00:37:05,760
it's a pretty pretty big room but i saw

973
00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:08,800
something like stuff from my show i saw

974
00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:10,160

00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:20,480
almost ready to put the roof on it

980
00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:24,160

984
00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:35,200
side

985
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:38,560
this is just some big logs that we used

986
00:37:43,349 --> 00:37:41,200
to uh to make a big huge it looks like

987
00:37:45,829 --> 00:37:43,359
the flintstones i think big huge money

988
00:37:48,069 --> 00:37:45,839
yeah those go on these stone piers and

989
00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:48,079
this is again i did this because there

990
00:37:53,270 --> 00:37:50,400
was the money for lumber just wasn't

991
00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:53,280
there but i got logs all day so look at

992
00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:55,839
those logs are they sunk into the ground

993
00:37:58,069 --> 00:37:56,560
too

994
00:38:00,150 --> 00:37:58,079
uh no they're right on top of these

995
00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:00,160
stone piers that i built but i'm going

996
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:02,480
to be putting additional stone around

997
00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:04,000
them with some cement to try to make

998
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:05,119
sure

999
00:38:09,190 --> 00:38:07,680
it's pretty solid it's pretty solid

1000
00:38:12,310 --> 00:38:09,200
actually it'll be you know when you get

1001
00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:12,320
those logs in too yeah yeah once the uh

1002
00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:14,240
so this is the notch cut to make this

1003
00:38:19,270 --> 00:38:15,359
all work

1004
00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:19,280
and then uh this is uh i think there's a

1005
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:20,960
yeah and that's pretty well

1006
00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:23,920
we're up to like i got the uh you know

1007
00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:24,720
uh

1008
00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:28,079
going so far oh this is a

1009
00:38:33,190 --> 00:38:30,000
there's a view of the inside of the

1010
00:38:36,470 --> 00:38:33,200
living room isn't that spectacular look

1011
00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:36,480
how cozy that is yeah and this place is

1012
00:38:40,710 --> 00:38:38,240
wired um

1013
00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:40,720
this this place is wired for 12 volts as

1014
00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:42,079
well so there's

1015
00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:44,000
up here is 12 volt lights there's

1016
00:38:47,829 --> 00:38:45,599
another one back here

1017
00:38:50,630 --> 00:38:47,839
this place can run from 12 volt lights

1018
00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:50,640
this is electric uh heater just you know

1019
00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:52,480
with the fake fire but right next to it

1020
00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:55,040
is the actual wood stove in here that's

1021
00:38:57,829 --> 00:38:56,160
so cool

1022
00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:57,839
and this is where i do my shell when i

1023
00:39:01,910 --> 00:38:59,119
do the show from here or this is where

1024
00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:01,920
i'm sitting right now actually so

1025
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:04,800
yeah well oh gosh that's

1026
00:39:08,069 --> 00:39:06,560
that's wonderful

1027
00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:08,079
um

1028
00:40:06,870 --> 00:39:09,119
i

1029
00:40:10,390 --> 00:40:06,880
man

1030
00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:10,400
boy so this will keep you really fit huh

1031
00:40:14,470 --> 00:40:12,720
yeah i don't need a gym i just come here

1032
00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:14,480
because i'm either chopping wood cutting

1033
00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:16,560
wood carrying wood

1034
00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:19,680
you know and i love that that path

1035
00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:20,960
meanders

1036
00:40:26,069 --> 00:40:21,839
yeah

1037
00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:26,079
actually i could have but i was like no

1038
00:40:31,349 --> 00:40:29,200
i kind of like it being windy right yeah

1039
00:40:33,670 --> 00:40:31,359
it's like water flowing and

1040
00:40:35,670 --> 00:40:33,680
i hate right angles

1041
00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:35,680
me too

1042
00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:37,200
that's probably why this place is built

1043
00:40:41,589 --> 00:40:38,880
the way it is everything's like crooked

1044
00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:41,599
but it's like my crooked cabin

1045
00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:44,319
unique beautiful

1046
00:40:48,309 --> 00:40:46,640
yeah isn't that a picture

1047
00:40:50,069 --> 00:40:48,319
oh god

1048
00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:50,079
absolutely and this over here on the

1049
00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:52,480
right side is this just a firewood shed

1050
00:40:57,670 --> 00:40:54,720
so that was built out of uh recycled

1051
00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:57,680
materials too that was built out of

1052
00:41:01,270 --> 00:40:59,599
wood from people through in the trash i

1053
00:41:02,790 --> 00:41:01,280
used to drive around in philadelphia in

1054
00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:02,800
the city

1055
00:41:06,309 --> 00:41:05,280
and just like if you drive around in a

1056
00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:06,319
place like philadelphia you're going to

1057
00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:08,720
find scrap wood in the trash on trash

1058
00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:11,440
day so i just started piling it up

1059
00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:13,040
and uh you know

1060
00:41:17,990 --> 00:41:16,000
here so we need a wood shed what do we

1061
00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:18,000
got over here you know

1062
00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:20,400
and this that was kind of my previous

1063
00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:22,960
method was to go picking trash and stuff

1064
00:41:25,589 --> 00:41:24,480
but that was before i figured out that i

1065
00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:25,599
could just build everything out of

1066
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:27,599
natural materials too

1067
00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:31,040
yeah that is just brilliant

1068
00:41:36,150 --> 00:41:33,680
so when was your starting point how long

1069
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:36,160
have you been at this i don't think um

1070
00:41:42,069 --> 00:41:40,240
this will be uh this will be the third

1071
00:41:44,390 --> 00:41:42,079
yeah i guess this is the going on year

1072
00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:44,400
three

1073
00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:46,480
yeah and all this was done on weekends

1074
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:48,560
whenever i had the time and like you

1075
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:49,280
know

1076
00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:50,560
it wasn't like

1077
00:41:54,390 --> 00:41:52,160
i sort of wish that i could just stay

1078
00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:54,400
here because if sometimes it feels like

1079
00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:56,640
as soon as i uh start really seeing

1080
00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:58,480
progress i gotta go home to the real

1081
00:42:01,349 --> 00:41:59,520
world

1082
00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:01,359
and then you gotta sort of wait you know

1083
00:42:06,630 --> 00:42:03,920
until you get to that next weekend to

1084
00:42:09,270 --> 00:42:06,640
make progress again and it's frustrating

1085
00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:09,280
to me sometimes because i get wrapped up

1086
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:11,280
i get wrapped up in this stuff and i

1087
00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:13,040
don't want to go i don't want to go back

1088
00:42:28,550 --> 00:42:14,480
to reality

1089
00:42:33,030 --> 00:42:31,270
this is

1090
00:42:35,349 --> 00:42:33,040
the passion and

1091
00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:35,359
your your drive and your focus thank you

1092
00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:36,880
i personally it's not you know what i'm

1093
00:42:41,030 --> 00:42:38,880
amazed that people are so interested in

1094
00:42:43,030 --> 00:42:41,040
this because it's just a personal

1095
00:42:45,430 --> 00:42:43,040
yeah but i didn't i didn't know that you

1096
00:42:47,589 --> 00:42:45,440
know and then i started thinking like oh

1097
00:42:49,750 --> 00:42:47,599
it's not just me who thought let's go

1098
00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:49,760

1099

1120
00:43:40,950 --> 00:43:39,359
that i feel most happy and

1121
00:43:42,390 --> 00:43:40,960
but i got us you know i don't i don't

1122
00:43:44,550 --> 00:43:42,400
want anybody to get the wrong idea i

1123
00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:44,560
love my house in the suburbs i got a big

1124
00:43:49,829 --> 00:43:47,200
beautiful house in the suburbs it's like

1125
00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:49,839
3 500 square feet it's huge

1126
00:43:52,870 --> 00:43:51,280
um but

1127
00:43:56,790 --> 00:43:52,880
sometimes i think like

1128
00:43:59,430 --> 00:43:56,800
would we do you need that you know yeah

1129
00:44:02,550 --> 00:43:59,440
this place actually started as it was 12

1130
00:44:04,710 --> 00:44:02,560
by 24 the original cabin and i thought

1131
00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,720
i'll just build this tiny cabin just

1132
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:05,920
what we need

1133
00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:07,760
and that's it but then my kids start

1134
00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:10,319
getting a little older and my wife wants

1135
00:44:14,309 --> 00:44:12,000
to bring her friends or

1136
00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:14,319
sisters or mother-in-law

1137
00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,319
all right now we gotta add on to this

1138
00:44:20,069 --> 00:44:18,480
thing and i have to say this big living

1139
00:44:21,670 --> 00:44:20,079
room doubled the size of the cabin the

1140
00:44:24,390 --> 00:44:21,680
thing with the logs that i built around

1141
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:24,400
the original structure and and it's so

1142
00:44:28,069 --> 00:44:25,839
much more comfortable

1143
00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:28,079
with the extra space you know just one

1144
00:44:31,510 --> 00:44:30,000
big living room here and then the

1145
00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:31,520
original cabin next door has like a

1146
00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:33,119
sleeping loft in it but nobody ever

1147
00:44:37,589 --> 00:44:34,800
wanted to sleep in the sleeping loft so

1148
00:44:39,430 --> 00:44:37,599
that's a waste of nice surprises i might

1149
00:44:40,710 --> 00:44:39,440
just i might just cut that out nobody

1150
00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:40,720
ever wants to sleep in there but i hate

1151
00:44:44,150 --> 00:44:42,240
to do it because then it's it's also

1152
00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:44,160
stuart actually it's junk storage right

1153
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:50,630
it's storage yeah yeah a little bit you

1154
00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:52,800
know hang flowers from it or something

1155
00:44:58,069 --> 00:44:55,440
leave that thing up yeah i probably will

1156
00:44:59,910 --> 00:44:58,079
i don't know i i slept on it for a while

1157
00:45:02,069 --> 00:44:59,920
especially because it gets so cold that

1158
00:45:04,069 --> 00:45:02,079
you're so high up that

1159
00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:04,079
that was the warmest spot in the cabin

1160
00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:08,710
we had a we had a wood burner in the

1161
00:45:12,870 --> 00:45:10,960
next in the kitchen and it's too small

1162
00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:12,880
so you get you can't make it through the

1163
00:45:15,910 --> 00:45:13,760
night

1164
00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:15,920
yeah so if it's like 10 outside yeah i'd

1165
00:45:20,790 --> 00:45:18,240
be playing

1166
00:45:22,870 --> 00:45:20,800
like uh jenga you know like stuff every

1167
00:45:24,950 --> 00:45:22,880
inch of that firebox tamp it all the way

1168
00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:24,960
down and then go to bed but i would

1169
00:45:29,670 --> 00:45:27,280
always wake up freezing because after

1170
00:45:32,550 --> 00:45:29,680
you know two three hours that goes out

1171
00:45:34,069 --> 00:45:32,560
and it was 70 or 80 in here when he went

1172
00:45:36,309 --> 00:45:34,079
to bed now it's

1173
00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:36,319
30 and you wake you know wake up this

1174
00:45:40,230 --> 00:45:38,160
new burner that i have goes all night

1175
00:45:43,109 --> 00:45:40,240
long and i don't have to worry about it

1176
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:43,119
so i mostly i sleep in here i have this

1177
00:45:46,790 --> 00:45:44,960
i have this yeah you can kind of see

1178
00:45:48,630 --> 00:45:46,800
this is like there's just a bed thrown

1179
00:45:50,309 --> 00:45:48,640
on the floor

1180
00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:50,319
while i'm here myself it doesn't doesn't

1181
00:45:55,510 --> 00:45:53,680
matter yeah no it doesn't matter and

1182
00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:55,520
stephen this is really

1183
00:46:00,790 --> 00:45:58,400
funny because you know of your focus and

1184
00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:00,800

1185
00:46:03,910 --> 00:46:02,800

1186
00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:03,920
and

1187
00:46:08,950 --> 00:46:06,240
you're surprised at the interests

1188
00:46:13,589 --> 00:46:10,309
i'm surprised

1189
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:13,599
that i think i'm going to start another

1190

because i'd really like to start another

1192
00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:18,560
youtube channel that would just be like

1193
00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:20,240
the cabin stuff and how do you build

1194
00:46:24,309 --> 00:46:21,839
this and how do you

1195
00:46:26,950 --> 00:46:24,319
yes and then i i predicted that you're

1196
00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:26,960
going to be on some national news about

1197
00:46:31,430 --> 00:46:29,119
this because this is absolutely well

1198
00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:31,440
actually i know i i have a friend of a

1199
00:46:35,349 --> 00:46:33,599
friend of a friend who uh

1200
00:46:37,270 --> 00:46:35,359
has some involvement with mother earth

1201
00:46:39,030 --> 00:46:37,280
news

1202
00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:39,040
yeah and i've been in contact with them

1203
00:46:43,589 --> 00:46:41,200
and sent them pictures and whenever i

1204
00:46:45,349 --> 00:46:43,599
want to they'd like to do some kind of

1205
00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:45,359
something about this cabin but i want to

1206
00:46:51,030 --> 00:46:48,319
finish it you know i want to hammer that

1207
00:46:52,790 --> 00:46:51,040
last nail in clean the whole place up

1208
00:46:56,870 --> 00:46:52,800
get rid of all the clutter and tools

1209
00:46:58,870 --> 00:46:56,880
that are there is [\h__\h] everywhere

1210
00:47:00,950 --> 00:46:58,880
it's not it's not so bad right now

1211
00:47:02,470 --> 00:47:00,960
because my wife was just here

1212
00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:02,480
after like the last

1213
00:47:07,670 --> 00:47:05,280
the last month in september and like she

1214
00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:07,680
she puts all my tools and bins and stuff

1215
00:47:12,069 --> 00:47:09,839
but it's gonna be bad now because she's

1216
00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:12,079
not around so it starts to slowly like

1217
00:47:16,630 --> 00:47:14,079
there's tools everywhere parts

1218
00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:16,640
everywhere this is board is for that i

1219
00:47:20,790 --> 00:47:18,720
got to nail it up over there and like

1220
00:47:22,470 --> 00:47:20,800
but it is what it is it's sort of

1221
00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:22,480
chaotic uh

1222
00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:26,000
but uh always progress you know

1223
00:47:30,069 --> 00:47:28,079
yeah with progress and it's just an

1224
00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:30,079
amazing thing to watch and i have a

1225
00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:30,960
quote

1226
00:47:35,190 --> 00:47:33,760
stephen

1227
00:47:37,430 --> 00:47:35,200
uh on

1228
00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:37,440
one of your shows

1229
00:47:42,710 --> 00:47:39,200
you said

1230
00:47:45,349 --> 00:47:42,720
only a [\h__\h] would buy a log cabin

1231
00:47:46,150 --> 00:47:45,359
yeah yeah that's my dig at david wilcock

1232
00:47:49,270 --> 00:47:46,160
or

1233
00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:49,280
you know buying a log cabin is is that's

1234
00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:58,069
i'm going to build one well it's also

1235
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:00,400
too it's like anybody can buy something

1236
00:48:07,829 --> 00:48:05,750
well actually that's that's one of the

1237
00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:07,839
re i went looking like maybe i'll just

1238
00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:11,119
buy a cabin but they were all 50 75 000

1239
00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:13,440
even for a crappy one with land or

1240
00:48:18,309 --> 00:48:15,839
whatever you know so i just did it this

1241
00:48:20,230 --> 00:48:18,319
way out of necessity really

1242
00:48:21,910 --> 00:48:20,240
but i wanted the experience of doing it

1243
00:48:25,109 --> 00:48:21,920
too and i have to say that it changed my

1244
00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:25,119
life like i feel so much more empowered

1245
00:48:29,910 --> 00:48:28,000
i feel like uh if i can manifest this

1246
00:48:32,630 --> 00:48:29,920
kind of a dream and it's a big dream

1247
00:48:33,829 --> 00:48:32,640
right yeah and i felt like this was uh

1248
00:48:35,670 --> 00:48:33,839
like uh

1249
00:48:37,990 --> 00:48:35,680
like destiny for me was like some of

1250
00:48:39,990 --> 00:48:38,000
this stuff just happened and it felt

1251
00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:40,000
effortless i mean there was effort but

1252
00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:41,920
it wasn't as hard as i thought it was

1253
00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:43,680
going to be to just pull this right out

1254
00:48:48,549 --> 00:48:46,720
of my imagination into reality and it's

1255
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:48,559
so rewarding when you look you know

1256
00:48:52,549 --> 00:48:50,480
stand back and look at that wall you

1257
00:48:54,549 --> 00:48:52,559
build out of trees and trash

1258
00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:54,559
it's trees and trash this whole place

1259
00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:56,480
has been built out of trees trash and

1260
00:49:05,910 --> 00:49:03,990
yeah yeah that is just a thrilling thing

1261
00:49:07,750 --> 00:49:05,920
to witness stephen i gotta tell you i

1262
00:49:09,270 --> 00:49:07,760
don't think you realize how

1263
00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:09,280
uh thrilling

1264
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:11,920
other people to to be witness to this

1265
00:49:15,829 --> 00:49:13,760
and boy i'm so grateful that you're

1266
00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:15,839
sharing this because

1267
00:49:19,270 --> 00:49:17,920
yeah well i want to i want to encourage

1268
00:49:21,190 --> 00:49:19,280
everybody because

1269
00:49:23,510 --> 00:49:21,200
fear kept me from doing this for too

1270
00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:23,520
long i was afraid like i don't know how

1271
00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:25,040
to build anything

1272
00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:27,359
yeah i i don't i'm not a carpenter right

1273
00:49:31,270 --> 00:49:29,040
and what if what if it's crooked what if

1274
00:49:33,109 --> 00:49:31,280
it falls down what if you know and

1275
00:49:35,349 --> 00:49:33,119
eventually i got over every bit of

1276
00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:35,359
anxiety and just decided if it falls

1277
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:37,520
down i'll pick up the pieces and i'll

1278
00:49:44,630 --> 00:49:39,920
build it again the right and i'll learn

1279
00:49:48,230 --> 00:49:45,589
and

1280
00:49:49,990 --> 00:49:48,240
on weekends even yeah yeah i used to

1281
00:49:52,309 --> 00:49:50,000
work all week and then come here and

1282
00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:52,319
just all weekend be

1283
00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:53,200
you know

1284
00:49:56,069 --> 00:49:55,280
trying to make progress and i did have a

1285
00:49:57,510 --> 00:49:56,079
few

1286
00:50:00,309 --> 00:49:57,520
things happen that were like pretty

1287
00:50:02,309 --> 00:50:00,319
tragic like once i spent two days doing

1288
00:50:04,630 --> 00:50:02,319
the fill around the door frame

1289
00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:04,640
and then i suddenly realized that this

1290
00:50:10,150 --> 00:50:07,680
at this huge door and it was like wasn't

1291
00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:10,160
level so i tried to adjust it and we had

1292
00:50:13,910 --> 00:50:12,160
like an avalanche and two days worth of

1293
00:50:16,230 --> 00:50:13,920
work just fell down

1294
00:50:19,510 --> 00:50:16,240
and i went oh my god now i gotta do this

1295
00:50:21,750 --> 00:50:19,520
all again tomorrow you know oh man

1296
00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:21,760
other than that you know just little by

1297
00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:24,400
little and it's so rewarding because you

1298
00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:25,920
could see especially with this kind of

1299
00:50:28,950 --> 00:50:27,599
building you just see that wall going a

1300
00:50:31,510 --> 00:50:28,960
little higher

1301
00:50:33,510 --> 00:50:31,520
every day that you work on it and and

1302
00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:33,520
you you feel good like

1303
00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:34,720
it's coming

1304
00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:37,280
yeah the end i never thought i was going

1305
00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:39,119
to finish this room though because all

1306
00:50:42,309 --> 00:50:41,040
the stacking all those logs mixing all

1307
00:50:43,349 --> 00:50:42,319
that cement

1308
00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:43,359
um

1309
00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:45,920
but i just kept going and we had weather

1310
00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:48,800
problems like it was freezing in here so

1311
00:50:53,349 --> 00:50:50,880
i we got the wood stove in and there was

1312
00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:53,359
like big gaps on the front and back wall

1313
00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:54,640
that had to be

1314
00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:57,440
but we were like blaring this wood stove

1315
00:51:01,109 --> 00:50:59,040
to keep it warm enough in here so that

1316

barrel

1342

1346
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:02,720
they'll dry so i could do wash here but

1347

00:53:13,349 --> 00:53:09,040
i don't know how to build anything

1375
00:53:15,990 --> 00:53:13,359

out yeah yeah it did come out it's it's

1377
00:53:19,510 --> 00:53:17,280
coming out like that's what a friend

1378
00:53:20,470 --> 00:53:19,520
said you're like building an art cabin

1379
00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:20,480
maybe

1380
00:53:28,549 --> 00:53:26,630
exactly and this i grew up i grew up in

1381
00:53:31,190 --> 00:53:28,559
a small

1382
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:31,200
part of los angeles and there's a place

1383
00:53:33,190 --> 00:53:32,319
it was like

1384
00:53:35,510 --> 00:53:33,200
just

1385
00:53:38,710 --> 00:53:35,520
adjacent to us where i raised my kids

1386
00:53:41,190 --> 00:53:38,720
and where i grew up uh claremont

1387
00:53:43,589 --> 00:53:41,200
california

1388
00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:43,599
you drive up indian hill boulevard and

1389
00:53:47,030 --> 00:53:45,440
they there are these

1390
00:53:49,670 --> 00:53:47,040
or there used to be

1391
00:53:52,150 --> 00:53:49,680
uh these native stone

1392
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:52,160
cottages these native stone

1393
00:53:59,109 --> 00:53:54,960
houses all up in both sides that's cool

1394
00:54:01,190 --> 00:53:59,119
that's cool and uh maynard who played

1395
00:54:02,710 --> 00:54:01,200
the guy who bob denver who was on

1396
00:54:05,670 --> 00:54:02,720
gilligan's island

1397
00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:05,680
lived in one of those native stone

1398
00:54:10,549 --> 00:54:08,400
california native stone houses on indian

1399
00:54:12,309 --> 00:54:10,559
hill boulevard for years and years oh

1400
00:54:15,430 --> 00:54:12,319
that's interesting

1401
00:54:17,349 --> 00:54:15,440
yeah and i'm wondering but this

1402
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:17,359
what you've done here

1403
00:54:21,109 --> 00:54:18,640
that just

1404
00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:21,119
is reminiscent for me of those days

1405
00:54:25,589 --> 00:54:23,760
driving past those stone

1406
00:54:27,510 --> 00:54:25,599
houses that were yeah i was it was kind

1407
00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:27,520
of funny here because we're like we're

1408
00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:29,760
way back in the woods here but there's

1409
00:54:33,030 --> 00:54:31,680
like i said there's other residents

1410
00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:33,040
there's other people that have cabins

1411
00:54:37,750 --> 00:54:35,520
around here and then eventually i

1412
00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:37,760
started getting an audience you know

1413
00:54:42,789 --> 00:54:39,920
like people would drive yeah

1414
00:54:45,829 --> 00:54:42,799
and they would they would stop and just

1415
00:54:47,589 --> 00:54:45,839
what the hell is that you know

1416
00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:47,599
and then in the summertime a lot of

1417
00:54:51,190 --> 00:54:49,440
people were walking their dogs just to

1418
00:54:52,870 --> 00:54:51,200
look at the cabin and that's nice you

1419
00:54:53,670 --> 00:54:52,880
know see people

1420
00:54:57,030 --> 00:54:53,680

to go camping in tents

1437

she didn't really enjoy herself yeah so

1439

1457
00:56:17,430 --> 00:56:15,520
like i'm not caving we're gonna have

1458
00:56:20,710 --> 00:56:17,440

1459
00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:20,720
my battles like no we're not doing it

1460
00:56:24,470 --> 00:56:22,720
after a while i figured out that just

1461
00:56:25,510 --> 00:56:24,480
don't even argue because she's just

1462
00:56:30,870 --> 00:56:25,520
gonna

1463
00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:30,880
wear you down

1464
00:56:36,630 --> 00:56:34,720
or use the trump card and win so

1465
00:56:38,150 --> 00:56:36,640
i don't even argue now i just go yeah

1466
00:56:42,150 --> 00:56:38,160
dear whatever whatever you want all

1467
00:56:45,430 --> 00:56:43,990
and i'll bet she has an assortment of

1468
00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:45,440
trump cards

1469
00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:47,280
well yeah but you know the major one

1470
00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:49,920
that women can use to win every argument

1471
00:56:54,230 --> 00:56:52,240
right like that what's that one no sex

1472
00:56:55,270 --> 00:56:54,240
no sex

1473
00:56:56,870 --> 00:56:55,280
you don't want to go you don't want to

1474
00:57:06,630 --> 00:56:56,880
do it my way

1475
00:57:11,990 --> 00:57:10,069
your partner is really really good at uh

1476
00:57:13,750 --> 00:57:12,000
that thing and then you start to miss it

1477
00:57:15,990 --> 00:57:13,760
and you keep oh that's not that too

1478
00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:16,000

you wake up that is going toward that

1534
00:59:45,430 --> 00:59:43,280
even if it's just a thought in your head

1535
00:59:46,470 --> 00:59:45,440
do something every day

1536
00:59:50,230 --> 00:59:46,480
to

1537
00:59:53,829 --> 00:59:50,240
like

1538
00:59:55,190 --> 00:59:53,839
napkin

1539
00:59:57,670 --> 00:59:55,200
or

1540
00:59:59,109 --> 00:59:57,680
drawing it in the dust uh think about it

1541
01:00:02,230 --> 00:59:59,119
plan it

1542
01:00:04,789 --> 01:00:02,240
fantasize about it have dreams about it

1543
01:00:05,829 --> 01:00:04,799
and that is action that's action

1544
01:00:07,990 --> 01:00:05,839
yet

1545
01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:08,000
really is uh even though you're not

1546
01:00:12,789 --> 01:00:09,520
being actively

1547
01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:14,710
yeah maybe maybe the law of attraction

1548
01:00:19,190 --> 01:00:17,040
too like if you if you just

1549
01:00:21,190 --> 01:00:19,200
focus on it enough it'll it'll start

1550
01:00:22,950 --> 01:00:21,200
coming closer to you i believe that

1551
01:00:24,950 --> 01:00:22,960
because i drew this place

1552
01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:24,960
i drew this place about probably a

1553
01:00:29,349 --> 01:00:26,240
hundred times sitting in a little

1554
01:00:31,990 --> 01:00:29,359
cubicle wanting to do it uh you know

1555
01:00:32,950 --> 01:00:32,000
before uh before taking the steps as

1556
01:00:34,470 --> 01:00:32,960
well

1557
01:00:36,870 --> 01:00:34,480
what maggie

1558
01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:36,880
and how you treat people as well what

1559
01:00:41,430 --> 01:00:39,680
you didn't get back what good

1560
01:00:43,349 --> 01:00:41,440
expectations

1561
01:00:45,750 --> 01:00:43,359
do it because you want to

1562
01:00:48,549 --> 01:00:45,760
and and look at what stephen has

1563
01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:48,559
described about his neighbors and people

1564
01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:49,760

1565
01:00:54,230 --> 01:00:51,119
people

1566
01:00:57,270 --> 01:00:54,240
