 We're siding our cabin! Finally! Cue the intro from over a month ago! Over the last few weeks the two of us have taken on a massive project of residing our cabin in the woods. This is year three out here and it's time that we bring the outside of the cabin to life. The exterior is going to look completely different than you've ever seen it before and not only that it will be able to brave the cold Canadian winter that is only a few months away. Wow that's pretty crazy. We started by painting on a blue adhesive paint and then putting on a waterproof membrane called blue skin. We thought we were doing a good job but then all hell broke loose. You don't want it to lift so that is a problem. The entire house is bowling and it's not just like one little area. Quite a few weeks ago we thought that we would be able to get this done in one week but the blue skin the strapping and now the siding end up taking a lot longer but this my friends is the finale. I'm getting a new house today everyone. Is that the supervisors chair Izzy? You're back to being an authoritarian boss I see. We'll get to it. Bosses are being serious today. I can have a nap. Okay Izzy you got it girl. Thank gosh for the fun daughter. She's telling us to have fun. Ready everyone? Let's have fun. Pause up bear. Don't want to. Pause up bear. Pause up. Come on cookie. Pause up. Shit. Pause up bear. And now we can begin. We haven't even seen our siding and we've had this siding since last November which is basically a year everyone. And I just need to say it one more time. We have this reveal is for you and for us we're so excited. I've been waiting in eternity to get to siding this cabin. When we got here it was one of the first things I was thinking of. I was obviously thinking driveway, electricity but the siding and the roof it just changes the outside of the cabin entirely. This is going to be so so satisfying and I know you're all gonna love it. That's all we've seen of it. So now we're on even playing grounds. That's so nice. This is Blackwood siding. It is charred cedar wood that will last a lifetime. I'll be dead before I have to replace this. It's a Japanese technique that preserves the wood. It's so pretty. The cabin is gonna be burned. It's gonna look sharp man. I'm like obsessed with this. One cedar is amazing wood. Two Japanese technique amazing. Third these installers are professional. Ready to go in there? After over a year of storing this siding we have been anticipating this very moment and finally revealing this secret with all of you. Oh my stars are lining. Dreams are coming true. It's gonna look so good. I cannot wait to just drive up to it. Oh my gosh let's get going. Siding isn't as easy as bam bam bam bam bam bam. Well at least not our siding. So we need to cut every piece of board at an angle of 22.5. The second step is to make sure that we are cutting our board on one of our pieces of strapping. Step number three is to secure the screen to the back of the siding that way no animals or critters of any sort can get up and in behind the siding. If you're not putting up the joints like this that's not going to look proper it's cut this way. This is a visual so you can see what we mean by the 22.5 this way rather than this way. So it meets up behind and you don't see it. This is where the two pieces are going to meet and from the front it looks straight but it's not magic. So they like conjoined. Cool we have a small saw so we're trying to figure this out. Don't ask me why we have a small saw while we do construction every week for the last three years. Yeah no it's not going to work we'll try if it's s*** I'll be going to Home Depot. Yeah remember every day we go to Home Depot I'm like we should probably get a proper miter saw jazzy crystal. Hilariously we've never been in the circumstance where we need yes we have what six by six in the deck. Yeah well also it didn't need to be so perfect and tedious like the siding needs to be butt up so perfectly where these joints meet so that way it looks like this nice smooth beautiful side and in this situation we don't want to jimmy or get because this is our siding and we want to be perfect and you know sometimes if you're taking a piece of wood and you're flipping it the other way to cut all the way through it you get these like jagged lines and that's a no for me. Call home hardware I guess is the answer. Thank goodness for our neighbors. Lucky for us they have one that will work perfectly. It's a big one. Thank you. Girls. Meet the beast over baby boss. Daddy DeWalt's coming in. Shout out to our amazing neighbor. Quite a few kilometers away from here but helped us out by lending us their 12 inch miter saw on a stand. Daddy DeWalt. Daddy DeWalt is here as Jasmine said and this is going to make this job so much easier and so much better. Daddy DeWalt. Daddy DeWalt. You are fire. That is so nice. It sounded beautiful. This machine is nice. Now time to attach our insect screen to the bottom of the board. The last step is sealing the freshly cut edges before finally getting to install our very first piece. All right a milestone and we have our first piece on and successfully attached the screen along the bottom and left a half inch for breathability and to allow air and water to pass through the siding and it looks mighty fine. Gotta say it's really cool and the screws are like super super high quality so they just go in so nicely. Cutting station, painting station, netting station. I'm very hungry though. Uh oh. All right. Uh oh. Do you want a burrito? A taco? A yogurt bowl? A smoothie? Am I making this worse? I would eat some beans. Beans? I feel like you don't need any. Hello. Good work. We're crushing it. Crushing. I've never made a Philly steak sandwich before. In fact I've never eaten one but Philly steaks. This looks so good. It's been a while. Enjoy. You know it's really funny because I think half the time of any job is just figuring out how to do it. Everything from figuring out where to screw these boards, how to put the screen on, how the angle goes together, making sure it looks absolutely perfect because we're perfectionists on this job. That took many hours but I'm feeling very confident in our work. We're going to be the ultimate fighters. You already are. We're at Marion Clinic. I just wanted to remind you that his surgery is small morning. Please have her have no food or water past 8 p.m. tonight please. Thank you. Easy. Good girl. That early morning glow. Good morning everyone. It's been a while since I've been up at this gorgeous hour of the day. I don't know why I don't do it more often but there's a reason why I'm up or should I say there's a reason why Izzy and I are up and off. I sweet little girl. Good morning pack.

So Izzy has to get some teeth removed or a tooth removed they're not exactly sure until they go in there for sure one of her big ones back there you know like the the sharp ones that has to be completely removed as there's a huge fracture and obviously when you have a fraction of tooth bacteria comes and if you don't take care of it the bacteria then goes into your blood and into your organs and everything's connected in your body as we all know and she really just has no idea what's coming. I've been trying to tell her that she's going to the dentist she's going to get teeth removed but she just looks at me and rakes her tail like the sweetest angel she is. So she can't sit and tell her she is an older dog so they obviously have to do all of the blood work and the panels. Izzy is nine just love her just love her to pieces. She's so sweet. Are you ready to go? I love you. Okay I don't know if it's harder for me or Izzy the hardest part is just handing them off Izzy was so sad it's definitely harder for her because she has no idea what's going on and I know what's going on but she's just a sweet angel. I love her so much. I'm so lucky to have a dog like Izzy. Okay well she's here all day until four or five and then we come back to the city to get her. Come on. Fact is in time for breakfast. Really? I'm so hungry. How are you doing now? I know your sister's not here. Oh he's looking for her. We were sniffing looking out the driveway saying where's my sister? Well it's time to fuel up and get back at it again. We put our head down trying to get as much done as possible until our friend Andrea brought us a treat. What a beauty. So nice Andrea. That looks delicious. Thank you. I don't think you understand how cool I look. Love it. What a job. Comes back. Makes us plunge. That's our friend Andrea everyone. We work together at the restaurant that Jaz and I met at. Love having friends up. Makes her day. So good. I'm obsessed. Halfway baby. Wow better than I thought for sure. Way better. I just love it. It looks so good. X-rayed her whole mouth. Nothing else was an issue. All the other teeth are healthy. Perfect. One of them. So good to hear. Thank you. She has one funny tooth. It's got a really curly root. Oh really? Spiral. Yeah unusual. Anyway those things are fine. The tooth is alive and healthy. Bye have a good day. You too bye. Thanks. Well girl did so well she said. Did you hear that? Yeah that's great. She's got a curly root. A little curly root when I... She's got healthy teeth hurts. Healthy teeth hurts, curly root and a weird tail. Here we are. Made it this far but it's time to go get our girl. I can't wait to see her and I can't wait to see her teeth. Bear you want to go get your sister Izzy? Where your sister is? You miss your sister? Where's your sister? Well I'll be back with little Izzy Bella. Thank you. You are the sweetest angel. Oh my gosh look at your face you were sleeping. Where's your sleeping? I looked like it. Oh my gosh Izzy I missed you honey. You look hot. She's so sleepy. She's so sleepy. Won't go bathroom? Oh my gosh she's fine sleep. She doesn't have to go pee. She's so tired. She came in holding herself up. She's already a chill dog now look at her. Oh she's feeling funny. That looks like a happy smile. Oh my gosh. I'm happy in the AC. I'm so proud of her. They even gave us her tooth which means tooth fairy's coming for Izzy. One tooth removed. A big one. It was all rotten. Hi secret. Adam the absolute gem comes out to do some electrical work helping us finish the side and we're going to tag team it. I love it. Yeah you're the best. Thank you both. This beautiful blackwood siding is not just from anywhere it's from our friends at Blackwood siding in Ontario Canada. They hand char every piece individually using the Japanese tradition Shoshugi ban and Yakisugi. What sleek. Chris the owner actually watched our channel and sent us an email saying Blackwood siding would look incredible on your cabin and he was not wrong. We were super excited to hear from him and to be able to see it come to life. They do absolutely incredible work. I'm going to leave their Instagram here and their website so you can check it out for yourself. They do interior exterior ceilings and they ship worldwide. Side numero dos. This is the second side. It is quite large and in charge. Very blue as you can see and I'm hoping by the end of today we'll have some great success in cutting some angles because this side is very different from the last. You think we're making it all the way up there? I like the ambition. Fingers crossed. Toes are crossed too. Because the bottom pieces butt up with the other side that we've already done it's going to be fairly straightforward I can assume. Yeah because the pieces are straight. No angles yet. However once we get up past that side we do have this peak that we'll be dealing with. Doing the siding is a very satisfying job. Watching that side come to life. Best feeling ever. This side is massive. My brain's doing that thing where I'm just like dilly-dallying. Uh oh. DDD. We have GDD. Dilly-dally disorder. Dilly-dally disorder. I think it's what I'm doing right now. Okay. You talk to a camera like five different angles just like you're talking. First piece is coming right up and to be honest with you all we're feeling pretty confident after such a successful first first piece success. I think it's straight. The level says it's straight but it's like is it straight? Who knows we'll never know until we are done. Yeah which is it kind of looks like it goes up but I don't know if it's because no it's not. We're looking at the ground and the house like you have to just trust the process. Yeah that's what they say. Trust the process. Obviously this board needs to be 100 level but then it gives us I guess that makes sense because I have the half inch gap there. I think that's right because you don't want to level it to the house. You want to level to the level because the level is level. Right. That's a lot of levels in one sentence. Are you a vibrant now or what? Big kid that look good. Yeah that perfection. Don't you feel like we've done so much and then you take a step back and you just go it's wild how fast dogs heal. Remember we got our wisdom teeth out last year and we were like we're chipmunks today. We're gonna build a deck but the chipmunks are building. I mean we built a deck so we're pretty dog-like but we were in pain. Hi sweet girl are you sleeping still? Yeah do you want to my leg? Do you want to draw a line? Yeah I do draw a line. With what? A pencil. I don't see a single line. Remember I'll draw a better line this time. How many seconds till the bell is here? I like that mom. Yeah I know you like that it's my food you've already had your balanced breakfast. I feel like we really have a flow now don't you? I don't know how it took me so long to realize but this is actually the most square footage of siding we will be putting on our cabin. I was wondering why this has taken a little bit longer. What are we on now the hoses? Yeah getting easier though. Yeah I know we like look how good this is everyone. Perfection. I know everyone's gonna wish Izzy well in the comments so she wanted to say thank you so much Pack and she loves you and we have the best pack ever. Oh big one to belly rub. Does comments are not enough please give belly rubs. Oh my goodness gracious. This is the part where it's really really looking super super good. It's almost a quarter of the way of this wall and it really seems like not much behind me like but it's long like how long is this outside of the cabin? Like 30 or 40 feet so the boards aren't going so far and my pile is getting smaller and smaller. Wow it's almost done a skin. I just need some friends. Friends. Friends. Maybe they'll come next week. Who should come? Yeah let us know who we should ask to come because I'm honestly I'm thinking about phone and some friends. Are you zooming in on my face again every week? Every week Christian just goes zoomie zoomie zoomie zoomie zoomie zoomie zoomie zoomie. If we're still going straight 13 and a half, 13 and a half. Take three hours on your first pieces then smash out your wall. Welcome back it is now the afternoon. It's actually the evening. Also I was gonna talk to them all but then I got distracted. Look how pretty the sun is coming in the window. Are you eating minstrel? She can't stop everyone. She's addicted. Okay we better go all night because guess what? What? We're driving to the airport tomorrow. Now that we have 10 boards going up. Wow 10 boards eh? I know what you mean 10 boards up. Obviously there's way more than 10 boards on here. There's a lot of boards on here everyone but what I am obsessing over is looking at the corners and the butt joints matching up and the lines perfectly matching up here. Love it. It shows how much skills we have learned since the past. Out of everywhere you pick to lay on the most uncomfortable bed. You have a dog bed on the deck. You got some nice comfy dirt here and you choose to lay right there bear. That's when you know you're making progress. For tonight let's wrap. How do you say it's an early night? I was like I don't know about that. Nah not an early night never early night and this work force. We're going to the airport tomorrow and a lot of you are going to be so excited with who we're picking up. Night night. Bye. Thanks for coming anytime. When one door closes another one opens. They're so happy nice hair. Yeah thank you. You look so lovely Max. This is like the book going on in Canada right now. Oh my goodness who did that? I already know. I had a feeling. How are you? Good. Good to say you. You're too Maxie. I'm woe. Woe. A lot of batteries. I love that you know what it means like when you look in there. It's just a woe. See you all next Sunday with some.
