Husband & I did cupboards out of Pine up North in Wisconsin but before that we did Walnut Cabinets for his Mom! Down here I helped with the Cherry wood ones and bed sets for both children and our room to sleep in! Did Hickory ones for Colorado cabin that is like your cabin! I made a special room off to the end of it that I would spend more time in it! Had a wood stove in it and hanging swing in it that was the room ALL people went into and wanted to STAY in it! It was Bigger than your mud room there! Had enough room for a small table and a chair like yours and a bed that laid on down to sleep on! Like a Small cabin inside of a cabin! Yesterday in 2 Live Chats we Talked about Shawn James IT WAS A DELIGHFUL TIME to see your name and hear it! SMALL WORLD and YOU ARE AROUND the WORLD!

Just a quick tip
You can lay some of your books flat and make a stack. This is especially helpful with the soft cover books. The stack can then act as a bookend so the upright books don t slide or tip over.
It is also visually appealing to vary the books between upright and laying flat.
It isn t any more difficult to get a book from a pile than from the uprights, either. In fact, it can be more convenient than when the upright books are falling over again and again.
And laying flat helps the soft covers on books from getting all warped and bent.
I like your solution for the bottoms of the posts! Neat and allows you access as required

The additional bookcase closes in the bathroom nicely, but I was interested in seeing how your ongoing work on the basement stairs proceeds. You've framed in the stair way, covered the down depth area and Lo and Behold, the refrigerator fits there just nicely! Everything in its place. That breezeway works just as you anticipated. The area is a boon for the house cabin and does indeed make the cabin into a home.

I've watched MSR right from the very begining but i have to say I'm losing heart with this build. I dont deny the very hard work & difficult conditions & no i could never contemplate doing such a project myself. I get the feeling Shawn that you are just throwing this together now & its not a dwelling your heart is in either, what happened?

That was wonderful. Loved every second of it. Thanks Shawn, for sharing this wonderful life with all of us wannabe's here. Beautiful. For numerous reasons, many of us just can NOT do it. But we live it in our hearts through YOUR videos! I certainly appreciate that. I also learn so much watching what you do. Thanks again for all your work.

Great to see that the insulated roof does not allow any of the snow to melt from heat leaking up. First class job on the cabin all the way around.
I have to wonder that when I saw your breakfast all ready, you had the core of a green apple sitting on the counter. What is the apple core for? Don't you have a compost bucket? LOL.

Shawn, have you considered putting a sand point in the cellar, if you could pound it far enough down to reach the water table. Then install a hand pump in the kitchen for water. Depth of the water table probably too far and your sand is pretty dense to boot. Great video, thanks.

Hi Shawn,
I've been watching for a few years and I was wondering if your wife lives with you there at the cabin? I've heard her mentioned I thought but you seem to always be alone. Do you live there at the cabin full time or will your wife be joining you at any point?

Shawn I guess you are not interested in huge amounts of premium white and yellow birch chaga. Well I'm looking into the marketing and processing it to help those who wish for it, it will be a new endeavour to embrace. HIGHEST VIBES TO U AND CALLIE

You look like you are thinking hard about something/ your aurora has changed. The cabin and all the details are just awesome. Cali needs a little pup or something to keep her in company. keep her moving. Summer is coming. which will help too.

Some bark strips of varying lengths would look good around the bottom of your front posts. It would hide the look of the metal you have just installed.
Anyway, it s coming together very nicely, you should be very proud of yourself

It's exciting to see you build this one and comparing it to the build from the last cabin. This one is so much larger and more elaborate. I'm excited to see you build this outdoor kitchen and compare it to the one before!
