Love it “ that’s why I have an off grid man”. Too funny!

Save big money at Menards. Make sure you cash in the 11% rebate. Get a little bit more to use for the next build. I’m guessing about $900 for all the supplies. I get a lot of my building materials from Menards and cash in on every 11% rebate that I can. I use it all to buy materials for the cabin build up north in the UP.

Thanks :D

My guess was pretty close. I have an unfair advantage when it comes to estimating lumber prices because I’m a carpenter. 😀

the 10X10 would be perfect for my lawn and garden stuff and free up a lot of real-estate in my shop. my budget is way under 2000 though, i need to get that down to 150 bucks so i'm leaning towards a hand hewn timber frame, Douglas fir with a tin roof.

You guys don't mess around! Glad you're keeping track of the costs, it'll be interesting to see what the final price is. I think you should still build that treehouse though! 😜Great job guys, looking forward to the next one. 🍁

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great start of the "WE SHED"❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome! I will be building something similar soon! The cost is nice that you are doing, but I would suggest at some point give a material list. That way in a few years the video will still be somewhat relevant. The prices will change, but the build list wont.

That would was more expensive than I thought, lol!! Before Bidenomics came around, you could have gotten it for about $500. Anyway, I'm surprised you didn't burn the bottoms of the posts that you put in the ground when the old posts you did that.

They are pressure treated and groundtreated. Charring them would be counterproductive.

I say you spend a bit over 1,000. You guys did well it looks like with your lumber cost Sounds like your planed cabin is going to be very nice and comfy. I am amazed you hauled all that lumber up your hill now that is a good truck and great driver. ! Beautiful spot to build this wee cabin amongst the trees . You folks are very helpful in showing us how you do things with builds and whatever and not have to spend a fortune doing it, Thanks . " Deck out back Yes agree Jen it would be lovely.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen sorry not sure why my comment is duplicated. Happened on another channel today. Weird!

One of the things I do with the posts in the ground, … I use the national electric code and set the post on some gravel and pack gravel all around it and NOT use concrete…Why do they do this? It makes the posts to not rot so quickly… even being pressure treated. Concrete makes the water (that will get in between the wood and concrete) rot the wood, as it soaks into it. Gravel makes and allows the water drain away from the post, under the ground. pat

Hello Jay and Jen, I like how you're staring out building your Cabin Can't wait to see it when it as I watch it being build

I guess an arm and a leg! That's a lot of wood! 👍

I love your energy. You go guys!

Thanks for sharing this with us, I can’t wait to see how it comes together!

This is the day that I have been waiting for, yay!! I cannot wait to see what you guys are going to do. Now I'm going to sit back and watch this video and enjoy. Have a blessed day you guys.

Woopie! Another build video series!

Awesome you two! looking forward to the build.

Look forward to seeing the build - really anxious for the part overlooking the trees. Really enjoy your videos. From Texas!!

Way cool guys, love the sunset deck idea too.

Can't wait to see how this turns out. Off to a good start.

Looks awesome!!

Looks like a good start. Can’t wait to see the rest.

Great teamwork!! Way to go

Hoping to learn Thank you guys

I've really enjoyed watching your videos. They are an enjoyable mix of information and entertainment. I hope I don't sound disrespectful, but Jay's red hair and speech pattern always remind me of the Apparently kid meme, lol.

Love this idea 💡 Great job Cheers

Cannot wait to see the “ Tree house “ sounds awesome 👏

Looking forward to seeing more done ! 😊❤

Yeehaw So looking forward to this!! Love your alls positive vibes always❤😊😊

I so enjoy your videos! I’ve been watching since you began the cabin and have lived vicariously through your work and accomplishments. I would have loved doing what you’re doing…. I’d NEVER come off the place, as long as Amazon delivers to my address 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

I'm looking forward to following along. Love the channel. My guess 658.00

My wife and I like your channel Love your license plate

I did not realize how steep your driveway hill way. WOW !! I really like the idea of a deck off the cabin on the tree side. The cabin will be very useful for storage and as a wash house. {that's what Granny would have called it}

Good start guy's 👏. Also was good to show the going prices for similar designs and their build quality or lack of. I know you won't fall through your floor that you build.

Great price for your lumber, I was off on my price by 250.00.

$1,500.00??? I like the overhead small windows in the front for sure gives it a slick look. Take into consideration on the pitch of your roof for snow??? Exciting Jay and Jen LOVE IT!!! YIPPEE and God Bless you all.

Muskegon dude approved !

Lookin forward to this!! J & C

you should wrap the bottom of 6x6 with metal so soil doesn't come in contact with post that's where it rots the fastest

@@featheredcoyote5477 you are wrong the reason for the metal is because what rots is the mixture of air and moisture at the base remove a fence post after couple years and what is rotting the base of the post where it touches soil

@@billsmith-wq5or And you think a piece of metal wrapping the bottom portion of a wooden post that's set in soil won't rot? For me, pour concrete and use a metal U bracket that is set into the concrete but above the soil. The bracket is bolted to the post or column. That's how I prefer.

build a wrap around deck on it

I'm going with $1400. How did you get the post cuts so straight? Ever time I try to on 6×6 pt the lines never meet up that good.

I bought a shed just like that. If yours cost $900.my was Process triple the price up here. Too expensive here.moved my family back too State side.
