Lakeside, Off Grid Cabin Build .... Start to Finish
Over the past 3 years I built our lakeside off grid cabin in the beautiful woods of northern Michigan. Here is the complete build condensed into less than 45 minutes. Check out all the episodes in my playlist. Looking forward to many new and exciting projects this spring and summer! Stay Tuned!
Woops!!! Realized in the video I said I started in the fall of 2022....I meant 2021! Time flies. :-)

Great workmanship! In the beginning, you dug the drill foundation pieces into the yard using a long stick to do the twisting and turning. This is actually a proper implementation of the Archimedean principle, "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth." (i.e., the greater the distance between you and the center of rotational motion, the greater the energy) Well done! Plz! Release a version with only the nature sounds???
I absolutely love the whole cabin. The colour bond outside looks great and perfect inside. Gives that variation. The internal steps are a great design. Furniture is beautiful. Look forward to more videos. Great music.
Nice job on building you cabin by the lake. A perfect location for the perfect cozy cabin. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful build! Congratulations. Excellent videography and editing. Quality time lapse, no jerky movements and droning commentary.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the build. The music?? Excellent!! Turned us on to some new artists
It was easy for me to forget how much time and effort went into this project but was quickly reminded with this video. Congratulations on the completion of such a great build. You took great care into making sure that this structure will last for many decades and Lord willing, it does. May you, your family and friends have many wonderful memories made while at the lake. God bless and be safe on your journeys.
Домик,супер. Молодцы хорошо потрудились.
Good on you mate. Job well done!!!!!! No doubt this journey was enjoyable for you I'm sure.... Relax for a minute...Cheers!!
Parabéns ,meu amigo ! Adorei sua cabana! Muito bom gosto e trabalho bem feito 👏👏👏 Assistir o antes e o depois eu adoro ❤ Só merecia uma varanda maior, uma paisagem como essa merece ser contemplada ❤ Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷
I soooo enjoyed this time lapse! I realize it was alot of work, and time lapse makes it seem like it was so easy....thanks for sharing! Looking forward for the new projects coming up!
Wow amazing very nice and beautiful house
The music was relaxing
Michigan, MY Michigan!!!! I might not live in Western Michigan like I did for my life, but Michigan will always be HOME in my heart ❤!! What you did with this build is super special, and living with such a beautiful lake view makes it a keeper. TFS ❤
So so glad that you are back. Can't wait to see what projects you will be tackling in the spring. Thanks for putting your talent out there for all of us to see. Stay safe.
Can you share a bit more about the screw in footings? I’ve been wondering about this for this application for a while. Thanks!

Home Depot company called Pylex...They offer a variety of sizes and applications. I used them to make a solar panel support structure. With these you dont have to dig holes and mix concrete for the posts. Once you get them lined up properly they are sturdy enough. I am now looking at putting in a 4 by 4 post fence and stringing wire mesh and chicken wire.
I would add a nice throw rug in front of the sofa and some nice soft blankets on the sofa to bundle up in. On the approach, I would lay some nice large flagstones and fill in around them with decomposed granite. I might also add some simple lights on the stairs inside and out for night visibility. You can install those stick-on LED light strips that are super low voltage for lighting the kitchen area at night or for that matter anywhere else. I prefer to trim out my window casings in cedar that is smooth sanded. It stains awsome and smells amazing. It also lasts a very long time. I have built many tables in this and they just last and last.
This is a very inspiring and informational video, along with your others. Congratulations to you on a great build and property. - Edwardsburg, MI

That was a a ling time ago glad you can enjoy it now great video
Supper cool build and what a great location. Many good times and memories will be built at this cabin!!!
Great video and a great looking cabin. Excellent job. That looks like a lot of work.
Very very nice job from start to finish also beautiful view 👍🏾
Great job men😊
What a beautiful cabin in a lovely location! Enjoy the results of your hard work!
Good for you! What a wonderful thing to have created for your family. Congratulations. It will be a meeting place and source of fond stories and memories for generations. In Scandinavia they see their Hytte (huts/cabins) as the true family home. Urban dwellings may come and go, but the cabin remains at the heart of family gatherings.
Thanks for sharing.
That is an outstanding video. Beautiful build and superb music. I loved it. ❤

Need a bathroom
You did a great job on this off grid cabin but I would not have covered up beautiful wood underneath the loft and the ceiling with that white tin. That wood is so beautiful like it is. But otherwise you did a great job.😊

Guess he worried someone would throw their drink upto the ceiling so wanted a wipe off surface.
he is the flash❤
Nice cabin😁
Love it ❤ 😊
🔨🪚🪓good job👍🏼
Love the cabin and the property !! I would like to have a woodstove though😊
Great project and great work, at a gorgeous location. I'm worried about settling over time with those screw-in footer system, but I hope I'm wrong - please keep us updated on how they perform for you.
What type of foundation is that, can someone explain? And where to buy?
I like it.
Just came across the channel. Cheers from case township. 🍺
아주 아주 좋아유~~~~~~~~

Essa casa ficou muito linda ❤❤❤❤
Great Job !!! Loved the music. Never heard it before. Very calming . Good luck on your site.
I think we got all the rocks on the Ontario side. be had screwing them in the ground. as the crow fly's were at the same elevation.
Excellent build. Lot of time and effort. Just a quick questin. Have you had any issues with the screw in anchor supports. Never seen them use in a cabin build before.
What are those twist in footings? Very cool work

I need these!!
Thanks for adding the music references. I loved the songs.
Great soundtrack
When you were zip taping the gable window in the front of the cabin you taped the top, then the sides...which is backwards as the seam no longer tucks under the top...no worries tho as zip tape is so sticky it will have sealed just fine
Curious how those pin footings will hold tho. Great build!
Great build! Thanks for sharing. What is the overall size of your cabin?
Ottimo Bravo tutti.
Fantastic workmanship! The cabin looks amazing!
Why you put steel panels above inside, instead of wood like on walls?
I have followed you since this projects inception. I remember the lopsided camera issue from the episode where you put in the beams and foundation lol. I wonder if you have seen any movement in those screw in pillars you opted for as your base for foundation?
Also here to ask about the screw in anchors. How are they serving you?
I love the cabin, but I don't see any heat source. You've been chopping and stacking wood, but no stove or chimney is installed.
Nice work. Have to keep a certain size for UP CODE? or no?
Thanks for the vid. How did you like the Helical Pylons? I've been looking at them for a while and they seem almost too good to be true. I don't have to worry about rocks, so they're are basically perfect for what I would need. Cheers from FL, USA!
What was the foundation of the house. Was it a pointed metal? How can you be sure that it will not get deeper with tje weight of the house and occupants?
what sort of post/ties where those? seems to be very handy for the slope youre on
I'm from Michigan. My life in the Navy took me away. I lived in Oscoda, on lake Huron. What is the general area you're in? I love Michigan, it's so beautiful
MANY WILL COME AND VISIT YOU FROM THE LAKE .....
I have concerns about those screwed in footings and the fact you didn't put any blocking between your 16 on center or was it less? Just sayin!
Great review. I forgot about how much work you put into this.

Todo perfecto, y si puedo hacer una sola ctitica pésima decoracion . !!
You got a good deal on metal sheeting? 😂
Where's the bathroom?
Вы как канатоходец ходите по доскам. Так страшно смотреть.
It’s a lovely cabin but no bathroom?

Off grid usually means no running water in the house. Apparently it is not off grid as stated in the title since he installing electricity. Could be solar panels.
The staircase would have looked so much better if the back of the steps were blocked in and the green work units definitely dont suit the cabin - shame as the rest of the build was awesome ☹☹
Niente bagno , niente stufa ?
