I'd suggest getting the old wood off the ground under the floor . Your inviting pests of all kinds by leaving it. Especially termites!
Also would have been a good idea after cleaning out that debris to lay down a vapor barrier to prevent ground moisture from affecting your floor insulation.
@@SteveMirabelli Yeah, and some concrete on top of the vapor barrier to also reinforce that falling down stacked stone foundation. All that moisure under there is going to rot that new lumber in fairly short order, and never mind all the mold issues you will end up with. Cutting out that rotten piece of beam... I'm sure the termites and/or powder post beetles that damaged that section are still working their magic on the rest of it. I would have cut the whole thing out and treated the timbers that were left with a healthy dose of "Timbor" as well. As far as insulation in that floor, you absolutely do NOT want to use fiberglas! That's an invitation for rodents to set up house, and I guarantee that you WILL have rodents. There are just so many things wrong with how this is being done... but I still like watching them. It's a tutorial on how NOT to do things! LOL!
I second That!
@Wheel_Horse pests are insidious. I am currently replacing a driveway border that is 15 years old where ground contact pressure treated lumber was used with trex plastic composite was overplayed to give a finished look. Taking up the Trex it was surprising to see termites eating not only the PT lumber but they had started on the Trex.
@@SteveMirabelli I've repaired a lot of termite damage in the past 5 decades! In one case I don't know how the building was still standing. When they got done with the sill plate they started up the wall studs to the top plate and then the roof rafters. They ate the cardboard off the drywall as they went up. We didn't repair that one, ended up as a tear down and rebuild. That place was probably about 50 years old.
I'm curious why you chose to leave all the debris under the new joists instead of cleaning all of that up and even leveling it so access after the fact would be clean and easy.
Seriously good job getting it framed but a few minutes to clean up the debris to avoid making home for termites and more and a vapor barrier would have helped too.
Yes, it was obvious that insects at the crap out of those sections of support beams under the original floor, was it termites?
I thought he mentioned the floor was temporary because he had to put a vapor barrier in. He will have tome the debris then, right?
One of the first things i was taught with any job , is a clean work site will save you time an money ..easier to pick up a few boards then to step on a nail or worse an have to spend half a day waiting at the doc' s to get a shot an a sticker an a big old bill.. i love the vision ,looking good
Yep, it doesn't take that long to pick up or pile the wood, rocks, whatever. At some point someone is going to have to go under the house here and there to inspect, work on a repair or to add or change something. Having rocks, piles of dirt, wood scraps with nails and screws and/or very uneven ground to crawl around on will just make it less easy and unpleasant to do anything. ;)
Prevent the accident happening in the first place should be your takeaway from this. Keep workplace tidy. Steel soled boots - wear correct personal protective equipment. Fascinating build though. i'm really enjoying this series. Stay safe.
Thank you
Safety is #1, so stop acting like we live in a third world country. We still use the Feudal System, but thats the least of your concern. Safety #1, or attach a medical bill for the construction 😅
was the nail RUSTY AT ALL??? If there is even a chance of it being rusty you NEED TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR TETANUS SHOT!!! If you haven't had one in a while, and you step on a rusty nail you could get LOCKJAW.... I went through this as a kid.... but hadn't even had a tetanus shot... but if it was a new nail that you had recently bought, no biggie... but the nails that were in the house... GOTTA check if it's rusty... if it is, just go to the ER and get a shot, or you Primary should be able to, if you can get in fast enough.... I ain't no expert on this, so if it's something you're worried about, I'd so go onto webMD and look it up for some real advice :) - HOPEFULLY it was only a flesh wound and you didn't knick/chip any bones, or tendons... then you might get some long lasting pains that might never go away.... with my nail/foot situation I STOMPED onto a board trying to separate from a sheet of plywood... nail went right into my heel AND into- the bone.. it was actually kinda thought to pull out!! lol But luckily it just went into the bone but didn't chip it... so I healed fine.. but I went to the ER just because of never having tetanus shot, and I was about 10 so it was 'the worst pain in the world and I was going to die" LMAO - :D
@@mrvirtue2181 Pretty sure he knows what he's doing.
@@vidrysdale7423 I doubt it.
Thank you for committing to filming, editing, and uploading your progress on the cabin!!! I know how much work it is for even just one video. But I (and soooo many countless others) are absolutely loving going on this journey with you and following along!!! Thank you thank you thank you and great work!!!
Thank you for saying that and thank you for watching. I really appreciate it
Ditto, agreed, absolutely...and the actual project work vids rock, the lives, not so much. @99Projects, consider making and posting 25-35 minute videos of the work being done step by step rather than posting hour long or longer videos less often. More frequent, albeit shorter videos will give people more opportunities to watch something on your channel, people like more videos over longer ones, you'll get more views and Subscribers and your channel will grow faster. I have watched a lot of good YT channels begin and grow fast and they followed that basic approach and in less than 3 years they were making good steady income and had several hundred thousand regulars subscribed and watching. ;)
Thanks for posting this it's been fun to watch along. Max is adorable. We have a 5th old Rottie named Luna that once she gets past "baby valosa raptor" everything a chew toy right?? I believe she will be a great dog she's such a sweetheart. Max seems like a total.love too?
Absolutely fascinated watching you transform this cabin! I can only imagine it adds a lot more time when you have to keep setting up the camera. I have one question. What is that brick built thing on the wall with the circular pipe sticking out?
@@mattcrooke8321, it looks like the old fireplace chimney leftover after he tore out the old, leaking, falling apart original fireplace...because that's what it is. ;)
You should remove the waste from under your crawl space 😮
Think he is leaving it there so the weather don't cover it up.

I just love your gentle giant of a dog you’ve got!!! (:
Check the inside of that piano thoroughly....it was common back in the day to hide cash/coins in the family piano due to the fact that a thief can not easily remove/move such a heavy piece of furniture. Lots of nooks and crannies inside
Yup. My mom used ours as a piggybank all through the 70s
Some of the old piano keys used ebony and pricless ivory . 🙊

This cabin project is probably one of my favorite things to watch on a saturday.
Been smart to punch a small ecess into the basement to be able to work under the floor. Leaving debris is plain old dumb because the having to workin on top of that garbage a risk of injury and makes the job harder. Got to add ventalation to the foundation to prevent rot in the future.
Max the dog is like the best part of the video.
Dogs always steal the show by just being themselves.
@@greghansard357 Very true
I agree. He seems like such a good boy!
Glad to see a progress video. I appreciate that people enjoy the live streams but content to time ratio these videos give much more content! And are more enjoyable
I agree, I just did lives bcuz some people enjoy them. I think far more like the feature films
@@99Projects each style has a place for certain things. Loving the rebuild! Qnd hello from Australia 🇦🇺
@@99Projects, my family, friends, co-workers aren't real crazy about the live streams...they're kind of boring, repetitive and the video gets fuzzy and has glitches often times or it's nighttime so we can't see much. Just letting you know as about a dozen of us feel that way about the livestreams...we won't be watching them, the actual step by step work videos are interesting and entertaining on a whole different level. ;)
I'm a weirdo, I would have cleaned the dirt before putting up the boards 😂
No you are not, you are very normal.
samething
Watching you work is like watching my dad work except I don't have to duck. Max is such a good doggo.
Good explanation of working with a dad lol
I really enjoy your videos. Max is the star of the show!
He definitely is
Buddy, what do you think? (to the dog) I think cover your expensive equipment if you expect it to work. Get the junk out from under the house- it is a termite magnet.
All I want for Christmas is a mini excavator. Nice to see a new construction video. ❤
I was amazed you put in the floor structure but didn't toss all the trash boards laying on the ground after your demolition when it would have been easy to do.
Doesn’t seem like much of a point. There’s no access to that crawl space, so I won’t be crawling in there after the floor is closed in
with all that mess under the floor, it's ideal conditions for all kinds of creatures
I thought the same. My OCD would’ve gotten the best of me to clean it out but I get his point that it won’t be accessible anyway after the floor is in. 😂
Yup 👍🏼 get all the trash out and we used to put down a moisture barrier
@@romy1708old wood on the ground is a good way to attract carpenter ants
Worked on a problem just like this recently actually. Old house I was working in had a beer hoarder living there before her family did a wellness check, found her half alive buried underneath over a yard of beer cans. The excess liquid from the cans overtime leaked through the tile, two layers of subfloor, every joist on half the house, and the main beam softened down a solid 2-3 inches, we’re talking about an early 1900s 12x12. The amount of jacking, leveling, blocking, beam tickling and wedging we had to do aged me by at least 3 years
Beam tickling lol 😂
All about the housekeeping. Clean jobsite is a safe jobsite.
“I think I got some of that in my drink” Proceeds to drink it. Cracked me up! Also I didn’t realize just how close you were to other people that’s insane! The neighbors are probably so happy someone’s fixing the place up.
Why didn't you remove the debris from the crawl space before you closed it up??
I’ve often romanticized doing such a project with an old house worthy of the effort. However, with the work that has thus far been completed, I can do it vicariously through you. Love the series. ❤
Good to see your got max supervising the project making sure everyone is pulling there weight haha
I can't wait to see it when it is finished. Love progress so far. I know it's a lot of work but you're saving an old home that just needed some TLC so someone could call it home.
Thats a good pupper!
The best
I love how in the time lapse segments Max keeps showing up to check in on you guys. He's awesome. He's like "ok guys, watcha doin now?".
All the going back and forth from different projects fits the channel name well. I'm Here for it. It works
I enjoy watching your process. There are moments I disagree with you, but it's still fun to watch your project come together.
Poor max. Hope he feels better soon.
?? He's not well?
@@jessbutler01, he hurt his neck somehow, he was whimpering some and not able to do everything he normally does is what was said in the video.
@@moparman1962 Thanks for the info
The piano could make a cool work desk - PC, monitors, writing area etc...
I must admit, I've never seen a craftsman be so effective with a bull-in-the-china-shop approach to his job. Well, done!
Well done guys, great to see the job progressing and getting things done. Keep the work area clear and watch out for nails. Max is one of the stars of the show, love that dog.
Max is the best
Finally! Been waiting for your next episode.
Same here.
I’m enjoying your videos, but seriously, the takeaway from this isn’t to have a first aid kit in your truck (although that’s always a good idea), the takeaway is not to have stuff with nails in all over your worksite. I’m another guy who’d have cleared out that sub floor and built in an access hatch with an eye for whichever poor soul ends up having to crawl under there in the future. Personally, I’d have cut and stacked all that waste timber for burning in a stove to keep the cabin warm once you’re living in it. Same thing goes with the trees you’re taking down. Whatever. Like I say, I’m enjoying following your progress and I am also another Max fan. 😊
Well said.
I recommend putting in some thick insulation for both the outer walls and especially for the roof. I live in Norway and here it is required for new houses to at least have 20cm (8inc) for the walls and 30cm (12inc) for the roof. Vapor barrier is also required for both. I know this is a relatively high up front cost but you will safe a lot on your future energy bill.
I’ll put a lot of insulation in
Max is an awesome supervisor...he stays close to you at all times, never takes his eyes off you for long....what a cool pup!!! Your cabin is looking great!! Love watching your vids!!!
Thank you
I love reconstruction videos and I must say this series is one that I look forward to and is one of my favorites! Great fascinating work! ❤️
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoy it
I love that Max is almost always in the frame somewhere checking on you❤
love watching your progress on the house...and Max is such a beautiful dog...
I’ll tell him you said so, he’s a great dog
@@99Projects he looks like he is too...beautiful face 🙂
I love how far your getting. Your place will be fantastic when your done. ❤
When you see how much work has been done to date it amazes me to think you've only gotten started. Keep up the good work. You too Max.
Buddy at 9:50 is so adorable 🥺 the best supervisor ever!
Max is just Best Boy and deserves all the pets!!
I chuckled when you stated where you were going to put a beam and Max took his paw and pointed to the spot several times in case we weren't sure exactly where it was going to go. 😂 He makes an excellent supervisor also. I encourage you to get a tetanus shot if you're not up to date. Wish I lived close as I'd love to have some of the scrap wood for making rustic crafts. I'm intrigued to see what you do with the piano. Was hoping it could be restored but I bet it wouldn't have still been there when you bought the place if that was possible. My brother-in-law has an antique organ that you have to pump two pedals near the floor to play and I just don't have the strength to do it very long. It also has wooden knobs that pull out to change the sound (I think that's what it does lol). Thanks for sharing your remodel. I'm excited to see what you do with the kitchen and will try to be patient!
Max keep’s everything running smoothly lol Thanks for watching and the comment
The part with max, pointing to the bean spot, needs to be a reel! 😂
I have a couple of recommendations. For the crawl space aside from cleaning, put some 6mil vapor barrier on the ground, that will cut down on moisture. I would also make sure you have house wrap, vapor barrier or foam gasket where untreated wood sits on stone or concrete. My 2 cents, I am enjoying the series, good job! Retired contractor in Canada, not too far from you.
Thank goodness Max is supervising the restoration 🧐. I can't wait to see the final result, but I'm really enjoying the process.
Max. the best supervisor!
Max loves to be with his dad, he’s a good boy! 👍🏻👍🏻 Everything is looking good my friend!👌🏻
Thank you, max is the best supervisor
Great long video love the dog
So glad you are saving this home!!! What a treasure! Reading through some of the comments I'm surprised more people having followed in your footsteps to help save some history in their own area. There seems to be alot of knowledge they're happy to share with you.
33:43 be like "hey, i got some Amontillado in my basement, just climb through this hole to get it"
Never know what going find when restoring a abandoned cabin glad u got the little amazing excavator going again
Good progress. Keep it going.
I've been looking for a new cabin video for a while. Always enjoy them
Hopefully he will start posting 25-35 minute videos, more often than his longer, less frequent videos. Breaking the project down into smaller steps vids would net him more views, more Subscribers, more income and faster channel growth. Momentum is kind of important in the first few years of these "little bit of everything" build it, fix it, restore it, upgrade it, use it, outdoorsy channels. ;)
I have been watching these for the last few months and my goodness, I do love seeing the progress made. Thanks for doing this and adding more to your workload. I hope you enjoy it! It is truly a pleasure to watch before bed!
Got a lot done in this one. Looking good! I wish my Max was still around. He was my my best buddy, my shadow.
When you said you were gonna get everything glued and screwed I imagined it was Max saying it. I'm still laughing about that. 😂😂
i think mutley notice that old wood and so on when he done his inspection ,on the grond floor ,am sure he will remind you lol,enjoyed the video well done as always cheers from the uk
Max sure is a sweet dog. Do you need a vapor barrier on the ground under the floor?
Yep always keep first aid close by and a clean work site.
Awesome progress. I hope you and Max are doing better
You guys are insane to attempt a project like this. I'm here for every second of it.
Destructive maintenance never gets old.
We are enjoying watching you rebuild this old cabin up north in Labrador, Canada. Great job and I have a tendency to do this the hard way also lol. Max needs Foreman hard hat!
I get so excited when you post a new video! It’s awesome. What you’re doing with this old house truly amazing.
Awesome video man, appreciate you explaining every step (including the reworking!). One small tip that might hopefully help, try and get that collapsed porch roof in the thumbnail for your vids. It's what caught my eye and made me subscribe, and hopefully you'll get way more viewers as a result. Good luck, and thanks again!
Missed opportunity to have easy access to rebuild the corner foundation and wood. With the floor out would have made it much easier to fix.
I'm really enjoying these videos. My cousin & I completely redid my aunts cabin so my dad could live there. When dad moved in with me later, my aunt's mother-in-law moved into the cabin. It's still a nice place.
Thanks for sharing! Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes to you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼🙋🏼🙋🏼✌🏻
I love love love this kind of content. Keep building, keep grinding. I want to see more as soon as possible.
Great Restoration Project! always Tommy🤠
You guys awesome you are doing excellent restoration on this little house 🏠 I can't till it's completed
All the remodeling is looking good.
Love this! I cant wait to see the progress.
Glad the piano finally went! So sorry about your injury. Maybe steel plates in the boots? Max is great, a big baby.
Yes, and disposing of the teardown scraps or at least neatly piling them would go a long way also.
I literally love watching these videos, it’s fun to watch
Thank you
yall doing a very good job cant wait to see the finished project.
Oh, I forgot to say, congratulations for the 100K subscribers 🎉👏. You guys rock. 💪
Thank you
Max is so handsome and smart I enjoy seeing him supervising you guys 🥰😁
He’s the best
Yes just was ready to see the next episode. Love the content. Also, I saw someone take an old piano and make a liquor cabinet out of it. He sold it and I was impressed by it
Great progress well done
Absolutely laughed my head off at your mate trying to squeeze between those planks. And then you sacked him 😂😂😂😂😂 well, not really. Your sense of humour is great ❤
A man after my own heart ❤ I’m watching from the UK 🇬🇧 and I’m feeling super jealous ! I only have three projects going right now. Looking forward to the next episode !
Three projects turns into 99 projects really fast
@@99Projects 🤣 i think you can handle that though, for me, it’s a lot !! Happy renovations 🇬🇧
poor piano ! Aww Max is awesome ! omg, I got anxiety just watching him trying to get into that cistern .. you could not have paid me enough .. I'd be calling up very thin people like "hey, can you help me out ?" At one point, when he was kinda stuck, all I could think of was Pooh bear being stuck in Rabby's hole. I was glad to see the floor joist ( never seen that before) Yous are doing a great job !
Thank you for watching
Man, I love this cabin build! You have great content. I'm always waiting for another video.
WOW!! Some serious progress made in this video. Great job you 2.
I just drove by there yesterday it is nice to see the house getting fixed up. Actually buying a house 10 mins away from there will be nice to see how it progresses into the summer months
When you finish this cabin it's going to be one awesome build way to go 👍💪💪😊
The house looking very good 👀 good guys u have a beautiful area nice in the woods
Love the progress updates, the cabin living areas are beginning to take shape. Glad you had the first aid kit- another takeaway might be to keep a wee bit of a cleaner job site tho the pup seems smart enough not to step on the boards… 🤔 lol. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Awesome update. I'm always fascinated to see how you take surprise setbacks like rotting beams in a stride. Sorry about the foot! Some steel toed and puncture resistant work boots / soles seems to be a good investment. Glad you were prepared and hope you'll heal well.
Thanks 👍
I look forward to your videos. You’re old school, you see what needs to be done and make it work. A lot of people can’t make things work unless all the old is torn out and they can start with new. Im also impressed with how someone your age is so knowledgeable in so many things. Please keep these videos coming I look forward to seeing this through completion. PS I have to agree with some of the other comments in getting the wood out from under the floor. You are inviting termites etc to dinner.
Gotta do the best I can with what I have. Thanks for watching
Its coming on well,Nice to see Abandoned place coming up to being a family home again,Looks like a lot of work to be done
I love this show but this also led me to the KZhead channel. ( cole the cornstar ) restoring his grandfather’s 100 year old mansion.
Your doing a phenomenal job on this old cabin! Can't wait for more videos!
Awesome job. Love the stone foundation
THANK YOU for another update.... I love seeing the progress of builds form start to finish... I've only ever seen new builds here on youtube tho.. sop I'm SUPER INTERESTED in your project... such an old home in pretty rough shape but you seem to know what your doing... I'M HOOKED!!! lol - But I feel like I missed the flooring on the other half of the cabin, prolly missed that video... oh well, I'm caught up now!! I LOVE that I can finally see what you're planning and I can imagine what it's gonna look like in the end.... but I have no idea if you're gonna go with a bright, light, open, airy design OR if it's gonna be a bit darker toned, woods and natural look..... or even something totally different = Keep up the great work :)
Thanks for watching. There are other videos on my channel
Good progress, but I would follow the advice of the various commenters who are suggesting that you remove the debris from under the new joists. You may regret not cleaning it in the future, as that will attract vermin, such as termites.
