In this episode, we do another wall of mortar chinking, this time using a wire mesh to hold the mortar together. We then build a new set of front stairs off the south side of the porch that leads directly to the garden. We also increase our solar power capacity using the Jacker Explorer 2000 Plus. We finish the video by installing out bathtub, the drain, and the shower curtain.
Welcome to our channel! This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. Our goal is to build a tiny log cabin from scratch using as much material from our land as possible. We are building it entirely using hand tools (no chainsaw!). This cabin will function fully off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!
We are learning a lot as we are doing (as always), so don't hesitate if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure to share tips and tricks, if possible.

If you would take a light brush across it when your done, it would take out the rest of the imperfections. I'm 30 + yr Mason, that's what we do when we lay stone.
You guys should actually talk to your viewers, this silence is mind numbing, I won’t be supporting your nonsense
😊
My❤❤❤
My late parents built a cabin many years ago, your journey reminds of those times when I was young!! Wonderful 😊
Wow, just wow! Look at what these amazing folks have accomplished all on their own. It's truly inspiring to see what can be achieved with passion, determination, and a little bit of elbow grease. Their remarkable work is a shining example that reminds us to never underestimate the power within ourselves to create something truly extraordinary❤😊
Yes and I have not watched all the videos don’t think I ever saw then he and power tools and just regular small hammers and no framing hammers.That bow saw sure looks like it cm in handy.
Amazing work guys and had to be in great shape when u started and then really good shape when you finished. Don’t think you have and problems heating and cooking with all those trees to use as firewood. Awesome going Jackery with solar panels.

Couldn’t be prouder if you were my own kids! Really excited to see you further develop this oasis you’re creating
That’s too kind!! Thank you :)
The cutest couple ever, patience and perseverance, My father was a General contractor so we’re my 4 Brothers, me being the girl, I worked on every job site, it was so rewarding and an absolute pleasure to get to work as a team with my family, I am so proud of you two, I know you have worked on other jobs as well, you just know way to much not to,, I’m 70 yrs now and I remember using all the same hand tools, really satisfying to watch you and brought back so many wonderful memories, God bless you both, keep up the great work, can’t weight to see the inside of your beautiful home
Very good work Watch you and your wife build your cabin, it was nice to see you guys not put dead lines on yourselves.....no drama. You are both very good at messaging, amazing job of sizing logs for the floor. House went together with very little talking. Very impressive, thanks for sharing, only one fear , putting plastic on the underside of the roof in winter will cause the house to sweet. Moisture from our breath needs to get out, it may take a year or two before you notice that. All in all very good workmanship
The two of you work so well together in sharing the work load in building this cabin. Amazing!
That has to be one of the most tedious jobs in your build-chinking! You two are so deter- mined like the energizer bunnies! Your build is amazing and reflects the work you have put into it!❤The other side of Canada-BC! Cheers,Sandy&Andy
Thank you :) looking back, we don’t know how we did it ahaha
Hard work and patience has paid off. Enjoy your channel.
Я в восторге от ребят, от результатов их труда. Особенно меня восхищает девушка. Какая умничка. Удачи вам во всем.
Слава России, по бедительнице!
I Wish I had the enthusiasm and drive you two do to start and finish your project !! Your Attention to detail and your unflinching work ethic is a sight to behold !! I can`t wait until you have finished your build to see the end product !!! Keep up the good work !!
Thank you so much :) it means alot!!
More and more luxuries with every passing week. You guys are making a very comfortable home. Thanks for the video.
Always a pleasure to watch you two working together and the way you share the work! Beautiful job on those stairs, BTW! They came out great!
Thank you so much :)
Congratulations you two. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. It is a testament to you both that you decided to redo the chinking. This new application looks much better and will provide that protection and loss of heat in the winter. Working in northern Canada in bug season is really hard. I know, living in northern British Columbia, Late May and June was for determined heroes. It is a wonderful feeling building and learning as you go. My husband has long passed, but we had some wonderful 40 years. Keep at you both, right now you are just thinking about building your own home, but you are really building memories - and they live forever ❤❤
Thank you, Yvonne :) it was a pleasure to read your kind words!!
I agree , 😊
Sorry for your lost...
Just stayed up all night binge watching up to Ep. 42 . Nick, Maela is a keeper. She wore out a pair of shoes in one night, 😂. Take her out and buy her some good hiking 🥾 shoes, she deserves them. Y'all are an awesome couple.
I am really impressed with your wood cuts,perfect fit!!!!!
Wish you and everyone a wonderful blessed Merry Christmas guys and a happy new year full of your dreams, wishes, joy, love and happiness. Best regards from ENGLAND 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 🎉 🎄
Hello Nick and Maela: another thank you for bring us a long while you two are building your home. I really like the way this cabin is coming out and the care that you two are putting into your new home. Have fun and take a few breaks along the way but you are making a lot of progress and doing things the best way and this cabin should last for a long time. I am very happy for both of you. Don't take chances and work smart like both of you have been doing. Keep safe and I will see you next time.
Thank you so much :)
Hello Nick & Maela, you two are doing a great job on your cabin. Love the workmanship, co-operation, and affection you guys show. So glad you are safe from the fires!!!! Take care and be safe. From Wisconsin♥️💕💜🥰
Thanks, Judy! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Oh, I almost forgot, a FROE for splitting things like your stair treads. Fun watching you, thank you very much!!!
First and foremost, I would like to say how happy I am for the both of you that Zachary reached out to you and is supplying you with some power. I do not know two individuals who deserve it more than the two of you. Also, I am from the United States but I believe July 1 is Canada day where ours is on July 4Th. So happy Canada Day if I have that right !!😊. I could watch the two of you work all day long because you seem to be in sync with each other. I’ve said it 100 times, but I’m gonna say it again the two of you absolutely impress me. Catch you on your next video and in the meantime, may God continue to bless both of you. ❤😊👏✌🏼😎🥇🥇🥇
Well, thank you again, Bruce! As always, your comment make our day :) Thank you for the good wishes on Canada Day!! Same goes for you, tho a little bit late, for you guys 4th of July!! Hope you had a great time with some good fireworks ;)
The shower turned out great, really good job on the steps, so secured. It always amazes me how much you two do with each job you create. Enjoyed this video also.
Thanks, Cathy!! The steps went through so many modifications before we finally placed them in ahah Take care until next episode :)
I discovered your chanel by accident , it was the one that you were first building the cabin. I fell asleep watching some other vlogs, and woke up 2 am and there you were! I just closed the laptop, and when I woke up I watched the whole thing, and after one other (this one) I subscribed! I love what you guys are doing, but what makes any chanel a keeper for me is the people , and you two are awesome and I love watching! Im glad I have lots to catch up on, so you will be hearing from me soon!
That's awesome! Glad we're fun to watch, and thanks for following along!
Well done…Jackery demonstrated excellent judgment in supporting your channel…stay safe…
What a great couple you are, working side by side in harmony with each other. fantastic.
Just started watching your channel a couple of months ago, now I'm always watching impatiently for your next video. Amazing what you have accomplished. Will you be living there full time?? Many thanks for all your work bringing us these videos. Take Care!!
Thank you for your support :) yes, we moved in full-time in June!
It’s so nice to see that you have your shower installed and mostly working, that Hass to be a big plus for you both. I thought the stairs you made the end of the cabin were very nice looking, I like them very much. Thanks to the both of you for a very fun And interesting video.
Thank you, as always :) glad you enjoyed it!!
New Subscriber.. building this cabin house along with your partner can build an unforgetable memories.👍
I am always proud of u guys ...u ar always using hand tools ,its awsum .....god bless u both ......with lot of energy to built more .....
Thank you :)
Hooked on your channel binge watching awake all night. On episode 57. Awesome work, can hardly wait for next episodes.
Great job(s) You work very well together. The quality of your work and videos is very good. I'm glad the fires haven't affected you. Stay well and happy.
Thank you! Stay safe too :)
You are both amazing and inspirational. I especially like the way you collaborate so well and respect each other. If only more people were like that. Thank you for allowing us to watch you both work.👍
Great work I love the chemistry I see with you both. Unity is strength coupled with love and respect
Great video again. Love your bath and shower. Suggestion, the outlet pipe in future could service your gardening area. During droughts I often collect the grey water, as it’s called, and water my plants. I use nontoxic organic shampoos and soap to do this .😊
Great idea, thank you!! We’ll adapt our system to make that work :)
Very very nice ! Smart thinking on the spray foam to level out the tub/shower base. Such a beautiful cabin home. 👍👍😊
Yes, after a few days a shower is a needed necessity. lol. Your cabin is looking great.
Flowing water????? Congratulations. The house is beautiful. If you want running water at the log cabin......There are water pumps that do not need electricity and run for decades at no extra costs. Some of these are used here in the Swiss Alps. Inexpensive and just perfect if the source is far away or below the log cabin, for example. Search the internet for the following words: "Aries hydraulic water pump, How it works". As skilled as you both are, you can even build this pump yourself. Have fun...... Greetings from Switzerland
Awesome Build ! I must be the only one in the world that starts a fire and throw green Materials in the fire to help the bugs on their way out of camp ?
It was nice to watch this second video of this wonderful young couple. I’m a 71 year old grandma and I love to watch what they are doing in their cabin; their future home! Congratulations to both of you. Watching from Falls Church, Virginia❤️
Please show your finished furnished inside of your house,, can’t wait!!!!
It makes a pleasant change to see something being built without the use of electric tools, keep it up , very impressed !😅
Very inspiring to follow your journey! Thank you.
I always enjoy your vids. You two are just special! ❤❤
Thank you, as always 💛
Unbeschreiblich Euer Enthusiasmus, dass ist schon aussergewöhnlich was ihr geleistet habt. Ich bin begeistert!!!😀
Great progress with the grouting stairs and shower - thanks for sharing - you guys are awesome
Thank you :)
Ich finde so toll, euch zu zusehen. Ohne viel Worte, Jeder weiß, was zu tun ist. Hoffentlich habt ihr nicht den ganzen Sommer so viele Mücken 👍😉
Jack dry are top notch! Good choice and easy to add onto
i love watching your guys new videos on saturday mornings!
You guys make an incredible team. Way to go!!
Do not want to live in the woods! Like my running water/ daily showers .. Was in an armored cavelery unit...we stayed in the field !!!!!!!!!
I don't normally watch this kinda of stuff, but your videos (while promotional with the product placement) were well done, straight to the point. Subscribed!
Really fun to watch this one, a lot going on! You guys have so much patience splitting those steps! Glad you're safe from the fires!
Glad you enjoyed it, Dave! We actually love splitting woods ahaha the sound it makes make it worth the work :)
Dude !!! . . . she is definitely a KEEPER !!! . . any woman that knows how to build is priceless !!! . . . just say'n !!!
Wow. What a,pile of work. Great skills and determination! The young lady is small but mighty! 💪 Thanks for sharing your journey. ✌
This is a true testament of perseverance. The two of you are very inspiring.
Much respect. ✊ Wow, you are both amazing. And kudos to the camera person, the edits and videography.
Nice job! If you turn your nail with the point up then tap it with your hammer to dull it, it’ll keep the wood from splitting.
Looks extremely strong even storm or hurricane would run seeing this cabin.Good work and I am proud of you people and I feet for you seeing you on the roof top, me glad when you come down safe.
very cool and clean and organize
maybe try keeping the morter a little wet while its in its drying process. it might be drying to fast. mud should need a little moisture so it can settle .
You kids have done a wonderful job on building your own home. Take a Bow!! Enjoy your home and enjoy yourselves. By the way my vote is your wife is up for best wife of the decade." I just sat in amazement watching her working so hard with you. Take care..
I bought the Jackery last year and have had a great experience with it. Good job again with the build. I thoroughly enjoyed the shower installation. I'm not sure where you guys are getting all that expertise, but it's fun to watch your projects. Keep up the good work!
Glad you had a great experience with them :) And thank you, we also don’t know where we get it from ahaha we are just learning as we go! Thank you for following along :)
Wow y'all have done such an amazing job y'all should be so proud of yourselves that's some hard labor. Awesome cabin I've always wanted an off grid cabin me and my husband are hopefully going to be building our own soon.
You guys need to clear the trees and vegetation, around the out side of the house. To make a fire break. So your house don't catch on fire. Very important.
I don't know what to say....WOW!!!! Beautiful and amazing!!!! Hard work patience and so well put together! Enjoy your rewards!!!!
Привет от русской бабушки из Ульяновска ( Россия). 🎉
One of the best videos I've watched and the chemistry that you two have is off the charts
Awesome build. Great teamwork! NC USA 🇺🇸
Hermosa vivienda. Realmente es bella y haberla hecho con herramientas manuales en esta época es todo un reto.
mucho muy admirable la constancia, colaboracion el compartir un sueño los felicito a los dos esto es contruir juntos para un futuro juntos, congratulations
Молодцы , особенно барышня !
Glad things are going well for you two. I think you said you are living in the cabin full time is that right .? The hard ware cloth well work well glad you gave it a try .

You both are very lucky living in a place very beautiful ❤❤ from Oman 🇴🇲
Desde Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, agradeço a afetuosa e delicada despedida do casal expondo-nos as flores. Ótimo descanso!
I love your channel and your workmanship is outstanding. My first question was going to be about the fires, thanks for your comment on them. I would love to know how your chinking works out. I put chinking on a lean-to (three sided log structure) and I used two different materials, Mortar mix and the other was a USG product Wood Fiber Plaster. My log were not dry so as the logs dried the chinking would pull away. Personally I liked the wood fiber plaster better. I used light weight chicken wire wadded up and where the chinking caught the wire it stayed pretty well. I think your bent over nails will work. Please keep us posted.
Awesome job on all the projects. Keep up the great work.
Ihr beiden seit echt ein bemerkenswertes junges Paar. Ich wünsche euch viel Glück und Gesundheit auf eurem weiteren Weg.
Great Job guys, very impressive work!!!!😇
Thank you :)
... Que lindo trabalho.... Vcs estão de PARABÉNS!! 😊
Hola chicos desde Uruguay los felicito. Largo el vídeo pero valió la pena. La verdad no tenía idea como hacían las casas de troncos buena vida para ustedes ❤❤
My compliments to you on your cabin It was very well done , Great team work. I live off grid and dont get enough sun to charge batterys ,so you need a generator , aims makes one that auto turns on ,to what ever voltage level you select . Im sure if you work at it your cabin will be self supportive some day. Hey you guys are great
NICK AND MAOLA EXELENTE TRABALHO AQUI POSTALI - CAXIAS DO SUL RS. BRASIL BRAĆOS AI !!!
It’s incredible Wyatt you have done !!!!
Hi, you consider to use resin on any other material like that to put between the outside wood instead mortar because the sun will crack it. Very good and hard job, congrats.
What a beautiful cabin. Seeing the forest reminds me of the beauty of Canada and especially Montreal and surround. Thanks!
Tip: If U Clip, Ur Shower Curtains, 1st (2) Hook Holes To (1) Clip, Between The 2 Wall Connector Pipes. The Curtain Is Anchored...
que bueno todo lo que han logrado chicos, me emociona ❤👍
Nice work. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks, Mark :)
Amazing build by Canadian couple, really enjoyed watching the whole process start to finish. Seriously long though maybe somehow cut it down a bit into segments of 30 to 45 minutes long. Appreciate you sharing this. You are one of the most patient couple building such an off grid house. Awesome Canadian outdoors too as always. Thanks new subscribe here looking forward to your future adventures in the wild outdoors.
Straordinari! Abbiamo passato un pomeriggio, io e mia moglie, ad ammirare il vostro lavoro.
Wow y'all have done such an amazing job y'all should be so proud of yourselves that's some hard labor.
I’m impressed with your talents that you used !! THANK YOU for sharing your adventure!!!
It maybe worth considering changing one of your front upstairs windows out for a larger opening one and building a nice deck up in top of your nearly flat roof and hey presto you've got yourself a safe private balcony. Inside you could put in a really nice bridge and turn it into a cracking useful feature. Its wot I thought you were building before when you were building you unclosed outside area. It would also free up that inclosed area as an all year round outdoor kitchen. .great work both of you amazing. .
This is really good. Watching you guys do this is educational for me
A great sweat equity project ! Good job !
guys this is amazing, i have learned lots of tricks in the construction of your home. Thumbs up to both of you, with patience and courage and a good health from God you achieved finally the home dream. i am looking forward to the garden pack of fruits and vegetables.
Another great Ep. I learned a lot watching this video, you're a great team to watch.
This is the first time I've come across ur videos.. I am completely hooked.. So I will be following y'all... Y'all work so well together, that is a great accomplishment.. stay safe and keep up the good work....
Beautiful work guys! Greetings from down under Australia….stay safe…
Wow that's amazing and very nice love it if more people could do that then there wouldn't be any homeless that's just amazing WOW.
An amazing team. very few words spoken and very efficient !!
I just love you guys working building and I learned a lot
