I'd suggest getting the old wood off the ground under the floor . Your inviting pests of all kinds by leaving it. Especially termites!

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

I'm not sure if you check these, and it's probably too late -- but I would recommend moving the staircase to one of the back walls, utilizing the slope of the roof to save space. Could potentially add another bedroom upstairs and free up a lot of space near one of the entries. My dad and I used a similar trick on a house we gutted.

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.

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

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!!!

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.

You should remove the waste from under your crawl space 😮

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

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.

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. ❤

This cabin project is probably one of my favorite things to watch on a saturday.

[gwbaker]

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.

[clubsprt]

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 hope you clean out the basement and all the corners and remove the smelly old dust, mouse droppings and other things. These smells penetrate into the rooms through the wooden structure in damp weather.

[buydirectusa]

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.

[scottfoster]

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.

[locemflyer]

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 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?".
