Two Years Building an ORIGINAL Off Grid Lumber Log Cabin in the Woods | Start to Finish | The Reveal
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Started in late October/early November 2021. This video is the complete build process from foundation all the way thru to furnishing it.
Cabin was built using LumberLogs made from sandwiched 2x8 dimensional lumber to give it the look and feel of “real logs”. This method allows anyone with basic construction know how, to build a "Log Cabin"
Cabin Dimensions:
Main Cabin 12’W x 16’D
Bedroom 10’W x 8’D
Bathroom 4”W x 8’D
Loft Area above Kitchen 12’W x 6’D
Loft Area above Living Room 6’W x 10’ D
Total Sq Ft: 432
Special thanks to my wife for holding it down at home and allowing me to spend every free weekend these past 2 years building. I hope our kids, our grandkids, and their kids enjoy what God has blessed us with for many years to come.
Shout out to My Self Reliance for inspiring this build and Bushradical for practical wood working tips and tricks. Your channels have helped thousands, including myself.

You’ve worked so hard and the cabin is just perfect…cozy, quaint, comfortable, functional, and inviting. It’s better than I ever imagined. I’m looking forward to making lots of memories there together. I’m so proud of you. 😘

Keep going bro! You can rent thos (these - in the future) for crazy money! The kids want the "experience* without the work! OR... live a blissful life without all the BS! Either way, you've done great work!
My wife and I live in an old fishing cabin in the woods, it's not like yours but we've tried make it as rustic as possible, your skills are amazing, we sit and watch your videos with our jaws dropping, thank you for sharing this with all of us, I'm 72 and the wife is 67, we love living in the woods.

Everything is very nice. Thank you for your hard work. It's not JUST a toilet. The dirt will remain there until the bucket is full and it will create a smell. It would have been better if you had piped it outside and connected it to the well instead of putting a bucket. There are metal glass wires on your windows. If you install them, When you open the window, rodents and insects cannot enter the house.

Building a wooden house off the grid is really difficult. I admire the way you work alone. You have calculated and assembled everything very perfectly and firmly. I am also building a small wooden house off the grid so I understand the difficulty of working alone and everything is done manually without the help of machines. Everything you're doing is great, it's worth the effort you put in. Good luck

This cabin is truly a work of art! It is beyond amazing what you have accomplished. I wonder if you've ever looked back and thought "How did I do this?" You have mentioned the cost of materials for the cabin. Have you ever added up the hours spent planning, purchasing, constructing, and finishing off the interior? Congratulations on the final result. I know your family has to be proud of this getaway haven!

I have watched all saved the best for last. The total look around and build was amazing. The last few minutes when you lit the candles was the best. Then put everything away and sat beside your girl and no Eletronic device just you her and a cabin in the woods. Just think half way through you had some doughts but in the end you brought it all together. I'm very Proud of you. I'm just a new sub but you have done what a ton of people would like to do. I built a 3 story barn 60x80 myself. Took several years. We lived in town for over a year until we could move in to a part of it. It's a joy inside when you can step back and see and live your results. I thank the Lord for his protection during the building. I did have help framing but after that, it was me and my wife. We still live here on our acreage. Kudos to you!

Believe me when I say, I’ve seen a LOT of these solo cabin build videos (learning as much as possible so I can build my own someday), and this is by far the best cabin I’ve ever seen built by one man. You can tell there was tremendous love put into this place. Then I read what you have posted above the kitchen on the wall…. Sir, you are a rare breed of man and I would shake your hand if I knew you. God bless you, sir. Maximum respect from Oregon.
