It's almost time to begin the interior construction! In preparation for this next phase of the cabin build, I begin work on the main flooring. I used a router to shiplap pine boards to make the floorboards, and I inlayed the screwheads with pennies! I also reflect a little bit, on the incredible time I've spent with my father on this build.

#logcabin #offgrid #theoutsiderCelebrating Sr Outsiders LegacyThe Outsider2022-05-21 | The legend himself...Sr Outsider...my dad. Thank you for your strong, yet gentle leadership. For letting me make my own mistakes, and then showing me how to fix it, without uttering a single "I told you so"...even though you could have.
You taught without words, and led by example. I learned the value of character, family, and faith by watching you. Thanks for living it.
Thanks for buying me my first chainsaw when I was too broke to afford one. ...I put that little Poulan to work though, didn't I? 😄 ...Built a couple log cabins with it so far...with you by my side, of course.
...and then there was the day the McCormick broke down on me, at the worst time. I was stranded in the bush with my sawmill in tow and a thunderstorm on the way. Mrs. Outsider was at home sick and I needed to get home to her. I was exhausted and discouraged beyond belief.
When you found me, I told you I was fine, but you saw the tears in my eyes. Without a word, you pulled me into a big bear hug. Then you rolled up your sleeves, and we got to work. Thanks for being my strength when mine fails.
Thanks for teaching me that even the strongest men need Jesus. I remember many a morning, coming down the stairs for breakfast and seeing your head prayerfully bowed over a marked-up Bible. Thanks for talking the talk, and walking the walk.
I could go on, but I'll stop here.

This was...hands down...the most nerve-wracking moment of the build. I cut through the purlins to open the dormers into the loft. Although we were confident that it would be possible to remove a small section of purlin in front of the dormers, a small voice of doubt persisted within our minds. What if we cut through the purlin, and the whole roof sags?

I designed and built a simple convection heater, ideal for: fishing huts, winter tents, or in my case...a snowmobile camper. It's in the prototype phase right now, but it's already showing some real promise! With the power of convection, it kept my sled camper warm, using only 4 candles! I've also designed the heater to use a small propane burner, to give it some versatility. After constructing my homemade heater, I put it to the test, by taking it on a winter camping trip.

My dad and I challenged ourselves to design and construct a portable cabin that is: easy to build, easy to transport, and fairly cheap to build. This is the result! In this episode, we build the cabin and add transparent PVC roofing panels to it. Perfect for stargazing! The clear roofing isn't just for looks and lighting though, it can also be used for heating during the winter! Much in the same way that a greenhouse passively heats itself using sunlight. So cool! Throw in some led string lights, and it looks like hundreds of fireflies have come to rest on the cabin roof. (*Editor's note: Yeah, I realize that I kept calling it plexiglass roofing. ...Silly me. lol It's actually PVC roofing panels. ...just FYI)
#popupcabin #cabin #tinyhouseFinishing the Dormers! / Ep71 / Outsider Log CabinThe Outsider2020-08-22 | The second dormer is complete. The two dormers over the loft have transformed an otherwise dark section of the cabin into a place of inviting warmth, and open light. ...I also prepare to install the roofing steel, but not before running into some problems, including a hungry porcupine.

#theoutsider #logcabin #offgridFinishing the First Cabin Dormer! / Ep70 / Outsider Log CabinThe Outsider2020-08-01 | We're finishing the first dormer, no matter what! What's more, we're building it with lumber that we've produced from the portable sawmill. After custom fitting the ridge piece and header, we ran out of wood. This meant that I had to hop onto the tractor and retrieve an old spruce log, which is when the trouble began. Somehow, I managed to jam the cable deep within the pulley housing, and I had to improvise to get it unstuck.

After spotting a mother doe and her precious fawn, I return to the log cabin to complete the barn board sheathing with my dad. I discover that a porcupine has been visiting the cabin in our absence, and I begin constructing dormers from live edge spruce which I processed on the portable sawmill.

I install the rest of the log cabin rafters and I begin sheathing the roof with barn boards, on a slope that is steeper than 45 degrees.
#theoutsider #logcabin #cabin...so I bought an Off-Road Tank / Ep67 / Outsider Log CabinThe Outsider2020-06-06 | ...well, it's not exactly a tank, but it is a tracked vehicle. Before the Sherp was even a thing, a Canadian company (Bombardier) built the Snowcat "Bombi" back in the mid 70s. It is a true all-terrain vehicle that can go, and work where other machines would become hopelessly stuck. In this episode I give the Bombi its first test run. I also install some rafters on the log cabin.

I carefully balanced myself on the purlins while working on the rafters, which I cut on my portable sawmill. I also give an update on my wife's current health condition. Then we got caught in a springtime snow squall.
#logcabin #theoutsider #cabinbuildSecret to Maintenance-Free Mortar Chinking / Ep65 / Outsider Log CabinThe Outsider2020-05-02 | Springtime is here! Which is the perfect season for tackling the smaller tasks I couldn't get to until now. Like reinforcing the loft with heavy bolts, lifting the 500lb cutting head back onto the sawmill, or installing lath between the courses on the log cabin. The lath will be the framework that I apply the daub and chinking to, which is the secret to its longevity.

We're gearing up for another exciting year of log cabin building! Now that springtime has arrived, we pulled the tractor out of hibernation to haul a load of salvaged roofing steel to the cabin build site. We've moved heavier cargo, but this was definitely the most awkward. The sheets were 20 foot long and weighed almost 1700 lb in total. My little trailer was far too short to transport such a load, especially over the rocky cedar trails, so we had to find another way to make it happen.
#theoutsider #cabin #logcabinNotched Loft Column / Ep63 / Outsider Log CabinThe Outsider2020-04-04 | I often find working in nature to be therapeutic. It might be the soothing sounds that the lumber makes while being worked over with a sharp tool, or perhaps it's the sights, smells, and sounds that nature itself produces. Keeping my mind and body busy on a task also helps to keep me relaxed. ...That is until the tractor breaks down. :) ...but thank goodness that only happens once in a blue moon. In this log cabin episode, I install a couple loft columns and beams.
