Off Grid Cabin Remodel: Removing A Wall, Beam Construction, Tongue And Groove

Ойын-сауық

Removed the center wall and built a beam to support the loft floor joists, and installed shiplap and tongue and groove in the kitchen and hallway. Our off grid cabin is looking a lot different. #diy #homestead #offgrid

    Honestly dude, I've been planning on building a cabin in the back of my 20 acres homestead for the past couple years... you were one of my inspirations for how I was gonna do it. I appreciate your constant improvement and advancement. I've been here since the beginning, and I'll be here till the end. Keep it up bud! Much love from a NY homesteader! Plain & Simple Farm.

I know we can make it beautiful. You talk about not being in debt and living peacefully. It’s boat or snow mobile access only. But it’s so beautiful. The bugs are thick but after we are there a bit and shoe them away they get less and less around where our home will be built. Thanks for your inspiration!

Kyle, kudos to you and all the folks that have or are choosing the LIFE they want outside of the scam and overworked stressful life we have been put in place by the hieracy in society. I'm over it! Living off grid, van or camper life is pretty much living as it was and exiting from the monthly bills or limiting them. Plus.. Living off the land and healthier peaceful living! I pray that I will get a cottage home to just live minimal and grow my veggies. Get more organic poultrys by a nearby farmer..etc.. The synthetic meat that's coming plus all the gmos in foods I may turn vegan!!

    We're older, as time goes by the scale of things has increased on our Alaska homestead. Eventually it's logging equipment, bulldozer and backhoe, a sprawling empire of snowmobiles, ATV's, boats, dirt bikes, and a Supercub parked out front. Hubby and the boys keep adding buildings, we have a spare 16 x 20 two story house with basement. Without any debt, without heating bills, with 40-60 salmon a year, a moose, other game, and a big garden... if you have decent income you can pay cash for big ticket items. We have a 600 gallon outdoor hot tub system with two tubs (kids and adults) It's something we do almost every winter night, but it takes as much wood as the main cabin to heat. It's a snorkel stove. The shop is 24 x 50 and that also takes quite a bit of wood because the kids are always working on machines. We logged all the trees for the buildings and milled the lumber, made the concrete ourselves by screening gravel and mixing it on site. Homeschool turned out to be an incredible advantage. Our 13 year old was admitted to the University in what would have been his 7th grade year, he's on full scholarship in engineering. His younger brother is just as far ahead of his peers, but he's mechanically inclined and doing trades. We have to take our 13 year old to town for his exams at the University, it's like an insane cult world that is very hostile towards straight white males. The kids thank us every day for not warehousing them in the local K-8 government school. Attendance there has dropped from over 120 to 33 in 15 years because everyone is homeschooling to escape woke indoctrination. Look how modern culture says kids are too expensive to have. Actually no, they can be productive and add value to the household by 4 and 5 years old. They dropped an engine in my Subaru for me when they were 11 and 12, replaced the rear end on our logging truck, and just finished a repair on our newer truck the town dealer quoted $3k for. They are assets, not liabilities.

    I've been binge watching your videos. I admit I didn't care for that wall from the start. It worked for the kitchen, but made the living room look claustrophobic. You all had a lot of stuff hanging on that wall on the kitchen side that you'll have to find a place for. I would suggest a half wall between the support post to push the island and butcher block tables up against and open hanging shelves from the beam. You don't lose the storage space and still have an open concept.
