Sir - When you said... "On my 60th Birthday", a rush of Hope and Inspiration came to me. I've always wanted to do what you and your wife have accomplished. I will begin in the coming year to hopefully make our dream a reality as well. Great job! Thank You and Bless you and family.

Me too!!!

My father my brother and I built 4 dugouts on our 500 + acres and we rent them out for three months out of the winter to out of state hunters. Each dugout has a wood stove and compost toilet and sleeps 4 people comfortably. It took years to kinda catch on but now I make 400 dollars a week per person. Four wheelers and side by sides are available for extra price. They are very nice and taken care of... I even lived in the first one we built for over 3 months.

How do you build to insure no water gets in? Always wondered when I watch them being built how they divert water when it rains or snow melt😮

As an experienced -yet- aging general contractor, I gotta say, my elbow hurts watching you swing that hickory handle framing hammer. I’m impressed with hand nailing everything. And Larry Haun would be proud.

As someone who has never swung a hammer and only used hobby air tools, does hammer type matter?

@@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work. modern tradesman don’t face nail much of anything anymore but it’s fun to watch someone do it the old way.

I looked again N putting the video together took some work thank you

What a great design - build - awesome Moe! Now get out the bear skin rug and pink and a bottle of wine! Awesome filming editing And narration!

Wow..❤

One of many of my observations; I have noticed is that When I have seen Farmers build a Cabin, they all do it almost perfectly! I Loved this Video! At my age of 73. Seeing a 60 year old man build a Superb Cabin, is showing that at even in your older years, it can be done! Thank You!

Hello,... Super nice!!! Well done, enjoy.

The wood stove and hearth is really nice.

You certainly have a great eye and talent for carpentry. Reminds me of the house my grandfather built unfortunately my carpentry skills are pretty modest but 2 of my sons inherited the carpentry gene luckily LOL.

One word ,,perfect

Building a 10 X 16 off grid cabin my self. I am not a trained builder but I did get help from my friend who is. He kept me out of making big mistakes. I am 67 he is 73. Do not let age stop you. We go slower than we used to but that all part of the fun.

I admire your efforts and thank you for sharing.

You did an excellent job on this cabin. I love it! You inspire me. I am 62 and you give me inspiration. Thank you for that. I want to build a chicken coop. I like the hammer and nails. That is how we learn to build growing up. Lots of blessings to you and again thank you.

Thank you for confirming what I been thinking about doing when I build my cabin next spring and That is putting the bubble foil down over the floor joist before the plywood. I've never seen it done before and was going to do it anyway! great build and video!

For our instance the bubble wrap was enough since we live in a mild climate. If you live in a cold climate however, full insulation would be advisable.

I'd love to see him do that plus add insulation and a plastic moisture barrier....😮 to the bottom side of the subfloor. Because of course you would cover the bottom of the cabin to keep the critters out!

When trimming your windows try running the side trim long on the bottom and fill in between with bottom trim that way the water runs vertical with the seems instead of rotting your bottom piece

Came a cross this video on you small cabin build . And what awesome job you guys did on it and read love the fireplace and brick work . The facted that your deck is a nice size to relax on and maybe down the road if you wanted to add another room to it you can use the deck as your floor . 👍👍 New to your channel.
