We Built A Concrete Log Cabin | 2 Year Start to Finish TIMELAPSE

two years ago we set out to build our own house this house we were completely over our heads and it was a bit of a rough start but we could not fail we had burned the ships and there was no turning back your backseat I can see my breath I'm waiting on the caffeine like waiting on a bed I wish I had a castle I have to guard you from all fears life into the echo I'm all to hold the tears [Music] will turn away I know till we hold it to the light like a counterfeit Bill we can't hide out in a castle hey Eli you wanna help me move this beam real quick thank you and we'll throw dinner parties with Midnight Moon all I guess I pretend we're over far away sees not this empty rest [Music] we got a storm coming I think it's snow I don't listen to the skies I look too tidy cut fast [Music] we can hide out in a castle [Music] if we can't stay we'll fake it it can't pay don't cry till they hold me to the light like a counterfeit bill without in a castle all night so there we go the floor is in it is very stiff um everything came together really well there's no Creeks anywhere it's not spongy at all it was great it was a lot of work so we are happy to have it done looks like a floor but the floor was just the beginning hey Jeremy you finally got your Christmas snow yeah look at the Garden glad we got those garden beds put in huh with everything I've ever done I give it all to everyone for one more day another night I'm Waking through another door [Music] and it's a long way home [Music] finally we raised our first wall so no well we tried so that didn't really work it was just pulling it straight out so what we're doing now or what Jeremy's doing now is putting this block down here that way it kind of trips the wall up so it'll hit the block can't go any further and hopefully in theory yeah I was gonna say in theory in theory we can this this is hard when all you have is me to help you this is my bro science engineering So eventually we raised our first wall we have like 20 more times we'll have something that sort of resembles a house and then we raised another one and then we dropped one which was just the first of many mistakes along the way [Music] okay we have here safety inspectors what's this gonna cost us five jelly beans [Music] oh you guys are suspect you just came over here for candy are we all clear [Music] all right Mama good as new on to the next one let's do it [Music] this is our master bedroom this is the first two walls that are actually tied together the first Corner inside our home but this is just kind of crazy to think our master bedroom hold on a second I'm not saying that right master bedroom master bedroom is that better I love Palace this is where the magic will happen [Music] to follow on well known [Music] Mass [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] spring Skies once again are looking mighty angry so hopefully we're actually going to be able to get some work done we're going to hurry up and measure it but it'd be a real real suck if we get all our materials out here and we have a rainstorm like we had last night foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
