I was not sure exactly how the hardwood floor in the kitchen was going to turn out and how long it was going to take to get it level using sand or clay. I found out

This 82 year old loves your videos and especially your dog. I'm amazed by your ability to do anything you set out to do. Wondering if you have snakes around your place. I live on a lake in Tennessee and carried one inside my house one fall that had hibernated in a potted plant. It came out when it got warm. One dead snake. Memphis zoo saw my picture and told me it was a diamondback water snake. Non poisonous. I live in Lakeland, Tenn.

I wish youd wear a back belt. Not those cheap flimsy ones like a workplace offers, but a sturdy leather weight lifters belt. I did during my 10 years at fedex. The day I didnt, I ruptured L-4 and needed surgery. Maybe you have one on under your clothes. Thats how I wore mine. Just a concern. I was strong and lifted often at the gym, but at 47 it happened. anyway. Of corse, again, I did forget my belt that day.

Loving the vids. With pavers i mix in concrete with slag then tamp level and use sand sparingly for setting level and havent had too many resets. I havent had luck with sand for longevity but retaining walls and anything to do with setting on the ground I ve found a cpl handfuls of concrete mixed with slag makes a solid difference but just slag is ok. That looks great by the way and I m going to do it as well.

Floor looks good but you may be tracking the sand into the house for quite awhile unless you sweep it off below the wood surface. Black locust is a dense heavy wood that is rot resistant if it is debarked. Might try that for your next floor. Debark it with the chain saw and drawshave before cutting off the circular pieces.

I forget what the sand is called for cracks. But it lays like 1/4 in deep then sprinkle with water and it hardens up nicely but its about 20 for a 2 gal bucket. Polymeric sand is what its called. Good luck! There is no wrong way to get this done. Nice work as always

Amazing. At this rate he should have a whole town built in the 5th year. Hes awesome at everything he does! Makes me happy and sad to watch this. Happy because there is a human left like this and sad because Im not there. Good for him though! He deserves it!

Who would have thought of a cordwood floor! It looks fantastic! I'll definitely be adding one like this to one of my projects! Thank you for your wealth of great information! Love the bear claw design in your outdoor stove wall! So clever!

Awesome floor! You have such a good eye for design. I love to watch Cali try to catch the dirt as you throw it. She is so cute waiting patiently for you to finish so you can play with her. She loves to play. What a wonderful companion!

Cali is a very active dog and pants a lot to cool off. Does she always have water available to her when she is outside. I've rarely seen her drinking. Just curious. I know you get very busy and focused on your task at hand.

myselfreliance IF you lived in an area with high temps & humidity in the summer, lots of rain during spring/winter, low temps in 20s during winter. WHAT natural building method would you do? Cob, cordwood, bottles & cob, etc?
