Not only is this cabin build entertaining to watch, the video is also relaxing because the guitar music in the background doesn't interfere with the narration- it supports it without being too loud or annoying. Bravo! If Bob Ross built cabins...

I'm 78 and I am in my fifth year building my rather ambitious 20'×20' cabin with a second floor attic, no blueprints! I'm finishing the kitchen now. I had a heavy wall to lift, so I used a pulley system. The wall was fastened at one end, and a counter weight on the other end. I got to try it on one wall section, and then a friend showed up to help on the rest!

Your carpentry skills on this cabin project was an absolute joy to watch. Awesome job! 👏 thanks for sharing.

So, I know it may sound weird, but me and my father have been just going in the woods and making cabins for anyone to use at least a few times every year for the last 3 years. It’s hard work, but also a good bond for me and him, as well as the community. We don’t know much, but we do know one thing: this country needs more generosity!

Most engineers are "self taught" in the hands on portion because we like it and that's what drove us to engineering in the first place, but there is no guarantee an engineer will know how to use every tool or know the tricks of the carpentry trade.

What is the size of the cabin ?

As a civil engineer from Sweden I always love watching these videos and u picked a gorgeous spot to build! Great video also you didn’t use a computer to give your ridiculously precise measurements like I can do at work 😆 you did it the old fashioned way. Hammer,axe,saw,measure tape nothing but respect for that Your humor is Amazing “insulation is my favorite job… said nobody ever” Greetings from Sweden

I appreciate your attitude, Dave. You make building a cabin seem so relaxing.

Dave, you are truly blessed to have the health and knowledge to build a cabin, let alone the property and means to purchase all of the building materials!

Me and my family built a quality 25 X 25 wrap around deck on our land. My parents decided to live there for retirement years. They added another 15 fett for a 3 rd bedroom with closet and a mud/heater room. It was one of the coolest things I ever did. We used the post foundation. I used mahogany floors and finish work was a bit more pricey but used bat and board Amish cut siding and structure were beams from Amish too. It was a beautiful day raising the walls. We had 20+ family and friends there to help. All our friends pitched in! It’s a beautiful cabin on 62 acres at the foothills of Allegheny mountains in WNY! Really nice area. 15 min from Lake Erie. We have a septic that could be used for a couple homes. And the well is sufficient too. I would love to live there but the snows too much for me. My bros use tractor for removal. And just bought a large mower/ plow a couple years ago so they didn’t need to use the farm tractor. I see your place is an enjoyable one too. I wish we went ahead with the wood burner! I love a nice wood burning stove. What a lovely place to call your own! ❤

Wow Man American guys are so good when it comes to DIY, building. Great work. I save this video as a reference if I ever build somithing like this in the future...

That was awesome. My dad was a builder , taught himself, and taught my two brothers how to build. Made me appreciate how hard they worked. My dad is gone now. This video made me think of him.

Satisfying to watch... makes me appreciate all that goes into the process.

I'm watching this now 4 November 2023 and I am very impressed. I had a cabin built in 2021. It's on stilts with less than 1metre hight above the ground. Insulation not done properly, is floor, walls and roof. If I do another project like this I would make sure that insulation will be done accordingly to what I saw in this video. Thank you.

The random algorithms brought me to you today, and I'm all the better for it! You are truly a skilled master of your craft, and I wish I had a fraction of this talent. I feel this is a lost art that people need to bring back to the forefront! Thanks for this awesome video!

This is by far one of the best cabin-raising videos I’ve ever watched. Great shots, easy narration, appropriate soundtrack, educational and entertaining, and of course, I have a fondness for the Upper Midwest. Felt like my uncle was talking me through a build. Can’t wait to see if there’s an update or part 2!

Great job kid! My wife and I own 2 acres of land in the Allegheny mountains. I cheated a bit by parking a 36 ft RV on the land, but I built a canopy and deck around the RV. All pressure treated lumber. It looks amazing. I am a retired contractor of 45 years. I truly enjoyed watching you work. Thanks for the video. Gods best to you and yours.

My first video of yours and I really enjoyed it. I'd want a wood store built next to keep the firewood dry, but I'm fussy like that!

Dude, your guitar playing and composition is on point.

This was very well done. Excellent editing. Brilliant pacing. Excellent amount of scenery. And I love that you didn’t spend 25 minutes talking just before you got to anything. This is one of the best made videos I’ve seen.

The cabin is wonderful. But what I appreciate even more is the effort you put into the video itself!! Having worked in the TV industry for 20 years, I know how difficult it is to put something like this together. All the lovely cut aways and the attention to detail, the forethought for each shot so that the viewer remains engaged, and then.... The editing! That is no mean feat.
