Self Reliance Lessons from my Dad | First Overnight at the Cabin

Welcome to my cabin.
In this video, I make some progress at the off-grid cabin including framing the bathroom walls and building the kitchen island. I then take you through the rest of my day at the cabin, as I cook some dinner and prepare to stay overnight.

    That dinner looks delish. You go, skilled craftsperson, Emily! My husband taught me to use various tools, starting in my late 20's, during our own earliest home builds/repairs. Soon after, I discovered that my fave woodshop hobbies are constructing children's furniture and dollhouse miniatures. Right after completing her 2 college degrees at 22yo, our daughter learned power tool skills to do major renovations with her new husband in their first home. I'm happy for you, and hope you enjoy all those comforts and the equity-building benefits provided by your handiworks.👩‍🔧🎓🏆

    My daughter watched me rebuild my home in Long Island and a 54' Jag roadster, during the 70"s and 80's. She picked up skills by watching and helping me along the way. Now she does her own repairs and small building projects. It's great to see how independent they've become. So I'm sort of reliving those years with you and your daughter. Thanks much for the memories. 🐺
