I already talked about the plan I had to expand the log cabin to add bathroom and sauna and I began with the work a few months ago. I lifted the main logs in place and created the frame for the bathroom and sauna.
Thank you for watching!

  • When you were inserting those vertical beams inside the horizontal cabin logs, I was wondering why, so your explanation about planning for the movement and settling of the logs made complete sense. This was a very interesting and educational video. Thanks Nik. And it’s great to see your bathroom started at long last. 👏🏻🇦🇺🌺🌴

  • I was so confused about those inset vertical beams you put in the ends of the existing log house! I figured I'd never know what purpose they served. Then at the end of the video you actually explained exactly why! Because of the settling! I fully understand and I'm super impressed by the knowledge you are passing down! Thanks brother! Peace!✌😎🏴‍☠️

  • Nic I realize now that I could never muster the patients and fortitude to wrestle and work those giant timbers the way you do. It seems to take forever just to position and anchor one single giant log; you just hang in there and work, work, and work until it is just where you want it and then bingo, a beautiful addition begins to appear. Who would have thought that building and adding to a log home would be so complex. My hat is off to you my friend as you are truly a man's man.
