Finishing the Off Grid Log Cabin! | Pig Play Tire, Debarking, Wire Mesh, Pond Trout, Chicken Tractor

We tediously remove the remaining bits of bark left on the logs in order to prepare the gaps for meshing. The wire mesh is a modern solution to the chinking log process.

We are using dead standing pine trees cut from my 40 acre property and some spruce. The logs are arranged in a butt and pass method and then held together with spikes.

We mostly rely on the help of a chainsaw to cut the logs, a tractor to drag and a lot of labor to lift them and put them in place. The pines in this replanted forest are fat too overgrown and have been grossly mismanaged. The trees should have be cut and thinned nearly a decade ago. Removing the dead trees is a good start to rehabilitating the forest. Later, we will thin even more and get the forest ready for replanting and rejuvenating.

In this part, we will continue to erect the log cabin walls from the foundation up. I will use the butt-and-pass method which laps one row of logs over the other, while fastening the logs together with spikes. This is simpler and quicker because it does not require the tedious work of scribing each log and notching.

A butt-and-pass corner joint on a log home creates the look of a rustic, old-fashioned cabin. As the logs are laid to create the outside corners of the building, the first log on each layer extends past the corner, and the log forming the other wall butts into the first. As the timbers are laid to build up the corner, the extended logs alternate for an effect that resembles interlaced fingers.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
