I will definitely keep that in mind as I've been getting quite a few questions regarding the dimensions and lumber used. I was wary of including too much info in the descriptions (and left them off episode 2 altogether) but it seems like that wouldn't be an issue. Thanks again!

If you haven't done so already at the bottom of the floor joists nail 2"X2" cover each joist with cut-to-fit plywood, add insulation then top it off with flooring plywood.

@norsetoalaska

Жыл бұрын

Hi Kevin, thanks for the suggestion. This is pretty close to what we ended up doing, without the 2x2s. I know a lot of folks will enclose the bottom with a combination of chicken wire and house wrap to keep out pests, but I was told rodents up here will often eat right through the wire to make nests. Thanks for watching! 🕶️

Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks!! Good question - each A has a hurricane tie connecting one of the joists in the A-assembly to the beam under it. You can see the metal of the ties pretty good at 3:14 to get a visual of them. We also used nails on the center beam, toenailed into both joists.

My interested in the Dimensions of this 'A' and how many bedrooms y'all are building....👍😁👏❤

@norsetoalaska

Жыл бұрын

Hi Martha 👋! Rough dimensions are 24’x16’, with an extra 4’ of covered deck. We’re planning to have a queen bed in the back left corner and a queen in the partial loft. Both beds will be open to the living area, so not bedrooms per se. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Could you share the dimensions of the lumber you used to frame. Are those 16’ boards? Thanks

@norsetoalaska

Жыл бұрын

Hi James, yes those are 16’ 2x8s for both the joists and rafters. I’ve seen others use 2x6s for the joists, but we went with 2x8s to fit more insulation.

That design would work well built on a mobile home chassis

Probably. It would be pretty difficult to move though at 16' wide.

This is really great, what size is the cabin?

@norsetoalaska

Жыл бұрын

Hello Shelley, thanks! The cabin is 24' x 16' x 16' (LxWxH) with an extra 4' of covered deck. Due to the lumber used and the nature of A-frames, actual interior space is roughly 24' x 13.83' x 13.83'.

Great build! Looks like the size id like in an A frame. Whats the width and height?

Hi Jason! The cabin is 24'x16'x16' (LxWxH)

I've watched quite a few of these vids,"build an off grid cabin", i wonder, obviously you 1st own the land, and it has no restrictions? Alaska is obviously the wild west, but can one do this in georgia? Can I someday get electric? a temporary pole? a mailbox? they won't give you an address without a certif. of occupancy, which you can't get without meeting building codes and having inspections. What about resale value? a house that's "off grid" doesn't add value to a property unless it's air conditioned space? or am i mistaken bout these things?

@norsetoalaska

9 ай бұрын

Hi John, that’s correct - the land we own has no restrictions and can be built upon without any permitting/inspections. A quick search of the “landsearch” website in GA shows me several properties without restrictions there as well. On our property electric is nearby, so we could get connected in the future if we wanted to shell out the money for it (likely $8-12k). I’m not sure about the mailbox, the full-timers in the area seem to use cluster mailboxes where there’s several in a main intersection/area. I don’t know what it would take to get a certificate of occupancy, but for our use it’s not needed. As for resale value - the cabin would most certainly add value, and could be regarded as a conditioned space once we have the woodstove in. I’ve seen similar turnkey cabins (in worse shape) go for $80-120k. Thanks for the question!
