Building an Off Grid Cabin in the Canadian Wilderness | Installing Windows

oh i hate when you do that no you don't we don't have fun in the homesteading community homesteading community serious no fun all right so we're here measuring our windows and doors totally forgot the measurements lost the paper but uh so we're just confirming them now because we're going to pick those up next so just check the door it is a 36 inch door that goes in there i thought that because we want a nice wide one yeah right and i'm pretty sure that's like four feet by four feet the front picture but yeah i mean we get the diner one so far and then we're gonna finish getting the rest of them then we're gonna pick up our windows so that's like a really exciting step yeah and while we're here we're also gonna test the water to see if it's drinkable yeah that's cool so that's a big deal because the spring's just you know a few yards from here it runs right there yeah see in the videos a lot so we know that we can use it for like washing and stuff like that but we just want to see if we can actually drink out of it that'd be cool if we can yeah see if it's potable yes we'll find out that's going to be cool and that's probably going to indicate whether we do a well or not or just utilize that we're going to utilize that anyways in some way like obviously for a lot of other stuff right well yeah but yeah we're going to get some measuring and some water thing and then maybe check some trail games yeah all right so we did when we did do the windows though we made sure they're all really common sizes so that we wouldn't be up against it later on he's interrupting me here yeah the bird yeah yeah so we wouldn't be up against it when we went to go get the windows that are not available so we went with really common sizes to negate that problem so even though we don't remember that right now i know that they're all common sizes and easy to get those two are the same it's 48 by 48 yes no that's what the window's going to be no it ain't no it isn't no oh it's three feet by four feet was the right yes i think yeah i have to do a better setup getting in there yeah that's not bad though we'll do a set of steps maybe walking down yeah where i'm standing right here the cabin like i can see the barn from here and then the cabin's just to the side and this here stream runs there and in behind the cabin so we'd be like pipe it or do a ramp up or something yeah so we'll see how this is you see where i'm at here you can see the small shed there and then the cabin's right up in there and then this here runs over there so we'll like just clear some of this up put a platform here if it's good and we'll use this water anyway but if it's potable that'll be perfect maybe do a set of steps here where we're walking up and down that'd be nice all right so we got some pictures of deer so that's good so here they are so that's good to see that they're growing back through the problem is which is cool but the problem is these new ones i'm not getting anything on it yet i thought i had it set up right apparently i must not because it's not even getting us walking up into you always at least get a picture of your face half like or something right or else walking up to it it's not getting that so i'm gonna take one of them home screw around with it make sure i get it working for sure and then uh we'll put them back out i'm gonna leave the other one just there you know just hoping that maybe it just will take a picture but we got some coming on the old camera so that's cool so yeah window time right there hopefully they have the same one we got before that one opens yeah so the price of doors like everything else has really gone up and we did think that we wanted a door with a window in it but it's like two hundred dollars more than just a door with no window so we're thinking we're gonna get the door with no window because we do have quite a few other windows in the cabin so hopefully it'll be okay i don't know right beside it yeah it does have a window right beside it so yeah we'll get that one it's like man you're gonna save like 200 bucks yeah it's scary the price yeah the window's close enough that i think it justifies yeah okay yeah finally we got some windows yay and they were quite a bit more expensive than we expected like we showed you at the store the one that was 300 and something turns out when we got to the cache we weren't even paying enough attention but it wasn't a proper exterior door so we ended up having to get just the basic exterior door was damn near six hundred dollars oh yeah that's like double what it was when we did our garage six panel door yeah it's crazy right now everything's just jacked up yeah it was high so and we got they didn't have all the windows we needed we still need three more but we have the two back bedrooms we have the front uh well it's not a real picture window because we got one that opens yeah but that'll be good but there's no like uh lattice not lattice but you know what i mean no what the heck's it called is it called that yeah you know what i mean none of the stuff in there yeah and it'll open so that'll be nice anyway to get the air going through it you can go the air from the front to the back and it's good and side to side if we want to yeah for sure we don't get a whole lot because we're kind of low in here like the well the trees are high but it if it did come in and come in that way anyway and then could come in there so we got the the front and the back yeah we don't have the sides that's it yeah yeah right yeah so we're gonna get rolling at that today and then we'll probably have to put it in order for the other ones might take a couple weeks yeah but they're still they shouldn't be too long because they're pretty common right yeah i think it was a couple weeks anyway once you order it so like yeah so we'll do that right after we did this get this in there today then we're on to his favorite job the soffit yeah the soffit just like so dreadful so not fun yeah right abs yeah all right let's unload i'm ready warm up gotta lift some what is this two by eight these yeah we'll use these for headers in there yeah later where do you want them you might as well just throw them inside yeah in the window you want me to go in all right yeah i'll back up this way that was our piece we used to keep it from springing you didn't know what i meant when i threw the first thing there oh why yeah i'm just so i have room to set it down oh okay just like that all righty then all righty then work it this is my workout oh yeah you like that yeah those are nice push-ups right there this is how you do a push-up oh you have to do 700 to feel anything any development at all yeah right you just want you just lifted the you just did a work of doing the bar on mb farmhouse yeah you can view that over on our other channel link below yeah mb farmhouse you're welcome yeah i recommend not stacking your windows in a truck like that but we just like to live on the the edge yeah we like to keep things spicy yeah see if we can or can't break our stuff along the way yeah the stuff that we can barely afford yeah setting them there hey well no i'm gonna bring them in but you're passing them to me fast all right maybe we'll just stop there carry those few in okay yeah okay that's the equivalent to the bar you're using no this is way lighter yeah it's a this is like 10 pounds maybe that's not even 10 pounds no we are going to do stairs there soon yeah one of these days but as we told the cult people it's uh one step at a time we're thinking we might go the whole length but we're not sure with the price of lumber we're actually going to build a one foot step yeah maybe just that's all we're doing but the price of lumber is gonna throw call it done let me just place it here put it on the floor here this thing's broke yeah that's where that block wasn't a yeah they don't put a block there and the damn thing breaks a couple hundred dollars and then it's broken how annoying is that shut up freaking idiots um we'll just tape it yeah right that'll be there's not even a there's not even a name oh there is one nail over it like i'll just drive a nail through the corner of the bottom right above it yeah what else that'll be it'll still be going that's the top too that's nice there'll be drip edge over it it'll be nailed yeah it is annoying but yeah it's so annoying if you're like loading this i'm driving all the way back no you can hold one end of it yeah you walk out a little farther though i'm gonna climb up this and you could just yeah might as well yeah you're gonna knock the stuff off oh yeah yeah yeah i'll get the screwdrivers yeah i'll just grab the i just gotta get the hammer holy wet t-shirt contest i just poured it all down myself yeah i have another drink okay it used to be it used to be sandals and then i was why are you showing them i'm going to be in big trouble i won't hear the end of this now it's just bare feet completely all right my feet were hot in my boots and i didn't bring sandals so safety's gone from bad to worse she was wearing your ariat boots yeah she's done good wearing those but it's only a few minutes before my pants come off too i'm boiling hot goodness gracious okay i'm gonna be stripping down cameras off building naked building in the woods is that what it's called yeah yeah you'll probably hold it from out here i guess i reckon hopefully it won't do much good holding it in there you're gonna help you think we need that hello oh he's gonna crawl at me i literally have nothing bro you're gonna have to bring him some peanuts or something oh there's a screw in the bottom too under here right your fingers almost on it there yeah yeah maybe we should lay it down so it doesn't just fall i'll hold it up ready done pretty good okay yeah we'll get her yeah i gotta move it probably might be gonna throw yep all right yeah i like that it can open especially with the door not having a window it's a little different than the size of wine so it's a little you gotta build it out i might be better off packing it too yeah so this year window is actually going to be three by four so but they only had one that was 47 wide instead of 48 so i'm just going to build out the build out one side a little bit so that fits in there better so that's uh that's what's up that's why that's a little bit the way it is so i'm just gonna build it out then we'll be good oh i have to take it out to do that we're gonna take the window out yeah okay hey don't drive we gotta build these headers out too one of these days yeah all right okay we'll just pull this little piece of wrap and just pull it back over all right fold this back over this starting to look good oh yeah there's a little cut there okay i don't think it really matters in here because you know someone's going to complain tell you off about it oh it doesn't matter they're going to tell you off anyway because a lot of people they will build out the rubber all around and everything and so they'll tell you it's not a matter it's gonna leak 100 percent it's like okay but lots of houses get put in without that stuff but whatever somebody's because what is a lot of people learn like one way so forever that's the only possible way yeah it needs it no matter what it definitely doesn't need it you just been uh sold something that costs more money and now you have to pay more money that's it i'm just joke okay just trying to have a lot of fun here we don't have fun in the homesteading community homesteading community serious yeah no fun now we just drop the window yeah you know what board it over yeah sit in there yeah yeah okay what are we doing so i don't push check out here for a second here that's perfect oh good i'll just make i'll just make sure this is good there for a bit i want to make sure it's definitely good yeah beautiful i instantly felt the draft yeah nice here you go guys oh that's nice right there look at that what a nice piece of drip edge looking good cool there's one i don't mean the drip edge yeah yeah it looks so cool so different eh yeah feels like it's coming together just one window yep yep i hate when you do that no you don't that's a lie we determined that was a lie did you ever make a sexual advance towards tiffany you said no the lie detector determined that was a lie we're on the mari show i think this side's gonna i'll bring the other side down maybe a shot go on the bottom yeah it's too much all right seems better check that yeah almost it's like really close all right no that's bang on perfect yep this is interesting nice day i'll rip these off before the sun sticks them there forever nice there's another one the master master bedroom makes sense mine yeah cool both bedrooms are done just lay it right here there till tomorrow well there we go three windows in that's awesome yep looks different now i like it yeah it's a cool feeling with windows in it just kind of like wraps it up yeah the wrap wraps it up yeah that looks good i know i totally know what you mean it brings it together it makes it feel more like uh livable built livable building yeah it's cool so we'll bring back uh the sealant for the back of that door we're gonna put that in tomorrow and we're gonna have to pick up those other windows we'll see if we can pick them up but i think we might have to wait on those so we'll just get that door in at least and we'll let you know what's going on with those other windows yeah as we know we can get them right away it won't be too long though yeah it shouldn't be but i love it yeah it looks good i guess that's it for yes we don't we need what do we need the caulking for the door and we need a knob we forgot to pick up a knob so we can't really put the door on without the doorknob so yeah you're gonna get one of those too yes but anyway we'll see you in the next one see you later thanks for stopping by
