The video is a good watch.
Not trying to be negative . Just wanted to point out at 42:00 mark, it might be a good idea to install a thimble (a piece of metal that provides a few extra inches of clearance from the exhaust to the studs & sheathing) for safety.
Manufacturer recommended one, even though my brand new LP unit didn't come with one . In his video, the fiberglass insulation is sitting right ontop of the exhaust pipe, which is flammable. I'd at least use non-flammable rockwool that close to the exhaust. Would hate to see anyone's cabin catch on fire.

He also put the floor insulation in foil side up while talking about bugs and rodents.

Pretty well done vid; watched some of his other stuff too and spent way too much time on u-tube......
Sure glad my 1st build in '83-84 wasnt recorded!
Yeah, we make some mistakes and could do some stuff better, but showing it all out there for critique is gutsy.

I have watched his videos since he started YT. His first cabin was the other one on that property. I wouldnt really consider his videos a tutorial...great entertainment though.

Sorry for any confusion
This is a good example of a thimble @ 5:15

Here’s mine from outside. Doesn’t the hot air go out through the center tube and cool air come in the outside tube?
