Off Grid Homestead: Building A Custom Kitchen For The Cabin
Ойын-сауық
I built our kitchen counter and cabinets at the off grid homestead. The cabin is coming along nicely. We should be able to hook up our solar power soon and the rain water collection system is working awesome.

I am so proud of you. Everything you touch or do, turns to gold. You may not have a lot of money, but in my eyes, you are a millionaire many times over because of your talents, your love of life, and your love of the land and all it has to offer. Many blessings to you both.

Well said! Impressive.
Lol the suburbs making suggestions hilarious. 👍👍💓
Looks great Kyle I'm watching your video drinking a cup off Cola and Evan Williams out of my Kyles cabin coffee cup lol
Suggest you get a piece of cement board to mount the stones, then leave a few spaces to screw into the studs. You fill the spaces with stones after its mounted. In the future, if you wanted to change it just pop the stones out covering the anchor screws. The water in the barrels is not food grade, they have chemicals that will leach into the water. (BPF), and like most things made in China. For peace of mind get the food-grade containers. Boil all rainwater, birds will leave their droppings on the roof and bathe in the rain gutters. Don't ask me how I know this.Lol
The cabin looking good, great job you did. It was nice to see your dad helping , tell him good job.
I must say you and Cierra are making a super sweet HomeStead. Kudos to you both.
You two are doing a great job. Nice to see you using recycled lumber. Kitchen looks nice.
Hi Kyle, The kitchen cabinets look great, it’s really coming together nicely now.
That's coming along nicely Kyle. It's taking on a nice cabin look and feel with those hand-hewn cabinets. Those floor joists are gorgeous! I love to see old things get repurposed. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
The corner on the counter could have been a lazy Susan, just extra space for storage. Other than that it looks great 😌

Great idea! My mom always had one! I am starting my cabin soon in Missouri..
The cabinets look great! Good job with repurposing the wood.
Everything is coming together and I love your choices 👏💗
Very impressive for two young people to take on such a project and to do it the way you are. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I hooked a garden hose near the bottom of my rain barrels, linking them together. Water drains into the "main" one and all the barrels fill evenly. If you have some hose and a way to connect them it'll save you having to manually siphon the one barrel.

I really hopes Kyle reads your comment because this seems like a perfect idea 💡

Everything is really coming together. The place is looking great!
Hi Kyle. My comments are a couple years behind. I am so proud of you and Cierra for doing this. I'm old and retired and have always wanted to do that, but I never pulled the trigger due to societal fear. or FOMO. You have done an excellent job, even more so if you don't have much experience. Keep going and make sure you enjoy the ride. I pray for your safety and freedom. Thank you.
Great job on the cabinets. I am really proud of you, keep up the good work.
Add some salt to the water, then freeze them, That's what the Boss of the Swamp did, he's got some good ideas.
really inspiring to see a young lad doing this from scratch, glad to see it in this day and age.
You are an incredibly resourceful and talented man, Kyle! You make your dreams come true beautifully and Sierra is probably proud of you!
You are pretty cool beans. Really enjoying the adventure
Love you both,is it refreshing to see young people supporting each other
So awesome! Thank you for making it so even someone green like me can attempt some of these projects. And free or recycled, love it!! But as someone old enough to be your mom, a facemask sanding or cutting drywall his helpful for the lungs. Lastly cover your licence plate. Sending love also to S&S from VT!
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzread.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
Kyle, I've enjoyed watching your progress on this cabin. A couple of points for egonomics in your kitchen: 1. Kind of late now, but not having a recessed toe kick at the base of your cabinets will make working at the counter slightly awkward. 2. I suggest mounting your handles near the top of your base cabinets, and near the bottom of your wall cabinets.
You kids are great. So inspirational. What you are doing gives some of us who have already lived our lives hope for the future and for my grandchildren. I hope you find great joy in what you are accomplishing. May the good Lord bless and keep you.
Love the cabinets brother... keep up the great work!
Love the channel! Great content! Looking good! Keep it coming. You and Sierra are an inspiration!
Cabinets look great. Might need to build Sierra a stepping stool so she can reach the op cabinets easier. My husband built me one and made it so I could slid it around with my foot. Loved it! Didn't have to call for him or climb on to counter every time I needed something I couldn't reach. Doing a great job. Something your kids and grand kids will enjoy
Kyles, I must say, you are very impressive with your build. For a young man, you certainly have a lot of knowledge about building.
Doing great young man! Glad you are learning so much from boss. He is a fantastic teacher. God speed big guy. Keep being amazing and respectful! I love you don’t disrespect and pimp out your young lady like other “off grid homestead “ couples seem to like to do. I’m am so happy to see a young man with the integrity and mindset to protect. Keep up the great work!
OMG I love the cabinets! Especially in their natural state..not painted and “cookie cutter” style like you see in so many houses. It is so great to follow your progress with the homestead!💕
You are so talented at woodworking. Great Job! It's really coming along.
I just really love your videos. They’re so calming and inspiring!
looks great Kyle, that stone backsplash will be amazing. 👍💚👍💛
Great job on the kitchen Kyle, everything is looking good,
The home stead looks great! You are both doing an awesome job!
OUTSTANDING job. God bless be safe. Jim
Beautiful countertop and cabinets! Great that you were able to repurpose all the lumber from the resort. Cabin is really coming along nicely! I appreciate your no- nonsense way of getting things done . Hi Skeeter! You too Cierra!
Love the reclaimed wood cabinets. You should be proud of your accomplishments, as I'm sure your parents are. Can't wait to see more. Blessings to you both. 😊🇱🇷
Wonderful! Thank you for such frequent updates, K & C! Look forward to them each week.
Here is an idea Kyle. Make some copper or brass bands to go around the seams in your beams to tie them together. Maybe even use iron depending on your contrasting décor and your availability to a black smith. If you need to, maybe add a few dummy bands here and there for synchronicity if it needs it for the optical perception of being uniform..... just an idea. Brother this is much easier DONE than SAID! I didn't even know I could articulate my idea like that..... hahaha
Kitchen turned out great!
I think it's wonderful! Looks like something I could live with. Doesn't have to be fancy shmancy for me. Handmade is more my style. Craftsmanship is hard to find nowadays! You've got it, my friend! I understand what you mean when you say "winter six months of the year". I'm also in northern Minnesota. They say we have 4 seasons. True, but spring, summer, and fall have to fight for the other six months! LOL! You're so driven to follow your dreams. You're such an inspiration! Don't EVER let anyone mess with that! I'm with you on that! Dream big and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals! My Dad used to tell me that, but I fumbled the ball somewhere. I'm trying to recover and find you as an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your projects! Keep the videos coming! Love seeing your progress!
Looks great it’s really great when you can score free wood like that and turn it into something cool like that
The kitchen cabinets look great with the old time rustic look. Just think of all the work you guys have done thus far. Feels pretty rewarding. You're starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Looking forward to see how the solar works. Keep up the great work guys. Thanks for another video.
The kitchen counter top looks absolutely fabulous. It’s amazing what you have created with salvaged stuff. Your custom kitchen is awesome…You are very creative 😊
Just beautifully done!
DAMN so THAT'S what rain looks like LOLOLOLOL I think a bird few over and peed on us the other day!! Honestly this is the worst year ever in Nevada!! Our fault for living in the desert!! The place looks AMAZING!!! you guys are doing such a great job.... Best wishes, Stay Safe..... Hope the garden is and Sierra's plants are doing well. Thanks for the video :)
My friend, you’re doing a great job! It’s awesome that you gave a shout out to the Boss. His channel is a good one. You guys are my favorites. Everything is looking great and coming all nicely. Probably thanks to Skeeter. He’s an awesome foreman. Stay safe and God bless!
I love the wooden counter top.stay cool Skeeter.
The kitchen is looking great! I’m still working on my tiny house. Finally getting my floors down. I so proud for you both!! ❤️from Tennessee!!!
NICE KITCHEN CABINETS AND COUNTER......!!
You are one talented guy! Every thing looks great! Best of luck to you all ! 🙂
You doing a great job every thing I see looks good
Thanks for the sweet shirt
I like what you got going on there. Good for you guys.
When you first started the kitchen, I thought it wasn't going to look that good, but it looks great.😁
Terrific work in the kitchen on the cabinets. So fortunate to live the way you do.
Kyle the cabin is coming on really well its looking allsome u have done a good job on it cannot wait to see it finished bet u cannot wait as wel
Beautiful work, Kyle! Everything is looking amazing! You, Cierra and Skeeter will be all set for Fall/Winter.
A kitchen to be proud of, love the idea of the stone backsplash, but as stone and mortar are very porous and a back splash tends to get splashed your stone will need to be sealed very well, but I'm sure you know all this. Great job. 👍
Nice job. Enjoying watching your progress. Kudos to Bossoftheswamp. He's a wealth of knowledge. Can't wait to see more videos!!!
Looks really good, and you have lots of storage and counter space
Kyle ur doing a great job ,and great to see u don't like landfill ,these days young people want new stuff ,me I've always just gone with what I like from charity shops who cares they all store ur stuff ,but urs are lovely free styled 🙂
Cabin is really looking good 👍
Great job on the kitchen cabinets they look good and working on them bare foot was cool too
You inspire me, I am going to build something, I don't know what's yet. Tiny home maybe.
Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey, I'm a new subscriber and Your doing a great job! Love the cabin!
Wow! Kitchen looks professionally done so much character too, good job!

The home made countertop looks great and I like seeing you guy's make it hand build.
The counter looks awesome and will Last forever!! Cool video!! Keep them coming. 🐕
Well done 👍 Kyle and Cierra, it’s looking and more like 🏡. I’m very excited 😜 to see the next video. Kyle you’re almost at 60,000 subs. Wow young lad consistency and entertaining videos have paid off. We enjoy them, keep them coming. I love that you’re collecting rain 🌧. However, I can’t wait for the well to be built for you to have unlimited water so that you can expand your desire for homesteading. ❤️👏😇🙏
Kevin green acre homestead used those 55 gallon and connected them for storage last year check him out it would save you time switching over to storage barrels...your doing a great job 👍
The place is really looking good.
Keep the videos coming, enjoy watching
I remember having a rainwater cistern under the house and a hand pump on the kitchen sink.
I'm so happy for you guys . Your home is coming right along
This guy is my hero! Great job
It is looking so good, Kyle! Awesome job!
Boss of the swamp is a great channel, and I use ice cream tubs to make my blocks of ice,and lil tip for hot days give sleeper a whole block,helps keep dogs cool while they lick it and cleans their teeth when they have a chew 👍
Good for you two 😎
Thanks Kyle. Making the dream happen buddy, more power to your elbow, from Ireland.
When you price solid wood cabinets it shocking how much they are. Great job, great savings.
Great episode! Like the look of the kitchen, and nice that the birds seem to make it!
"We're just doing the best we can." What? Are you kidding? ANYONE would be proud to have that beautifully handcrafted kitchen. Your abundant capabilities are matched by your humility. Well done!
Outstanding! This is testament to your talent, your drive, and desire to achieve perfection. I certainly enjoy your channel. Great job! From your supporter in Texas.
You guys are doing such a great job. You inspiration and energy sets a great example of young and smart. Great job
You should consider building a small shed and make it into an icehouse. You can get all the sawdust from the sawmill just north of my farm. After freeze up you can collect ice from either of the two lakes near your homestead. Every old time settler up in that country up their own ice for summer use. With enough sawdust atop the big ice blocks they will last all summer long. Just food for thought. Great progress!!!!
You should consider a more efficient shower system for water usage. My wife and I can shower on about 1 gallon of water each using a gravity fed system. We attached the hose and spigot to the bottom of a bucket. The hose and spigot came from a solar/bag shower. The bucket is placed on a shelf near the ceiling in the shower. Also, your rain collection system needs some tweaking. We have been using this system for 20-some years: Gutter down spout goes into a big garbage can with a hole cut in it to fit the spout. You need a lid on the can to keep out the debris and bugs. Another hole drains out the overflow. We filter the water going in with cheese cloth and metal screening. I also put a metal mesh screen at the top of the down spout to keep out big debris and rodents. There's nothing worse than having a mouse or squirrel floating dead in your water barrel. If you want photos, let me know.
My favorite channel by far! I love this project and always look forward to each and every episode!

This 63 year old thinks this is such an interesting home you are building. Long live creativity! 😊🇨🇦

Amazing job guys everything looks awesome!!! Keep it up 👍 Skeeter sure seems happy too!!
Great job! They look great & the price was right! Suggestion: next time & more resources…make the lower cabinets with drawers. Definitely a lot more work, but SO much easier to retrieve things. Next time. Your homestead is coming along beautifully!
