Just lift cabin with Jack's n put cement pillows

Gutters and rain water catchment and a filtering system is the way to go.

You can put a pot of water on your wood burning stove, that will put a little moister in the air. Won’t dry out the air so bad. You could also put down gravel where water runs off your roof, this will reduce mud splatter. All in all I like the cabin.

Little tile tip, Platinum thinset is a pain to mix and a bit more pricey, but will stick tile down very well. Removing it is a royal pain in the ass, you're better off pulling up the subfloor or whatever you've got it on 'cause it's coming up whether you like it or not, but if you want that tile to stay stuck for pretty much forever, that's the way to go

You can still add cinder block underneath pretty easily. Unless your 4 x 4’s are soaked in creosote, which is illegal now, they will rot in roughly 20 years. You can also pick up storm windows pretty cheap to put over the outside of your existing windows. That will pretty much be the same thing as having dual panes. Like other folks have said, you want to put a vent on each side of the subfloor to help cut down on dampness. Nice cabin. The thing you want to do the most is enjoy it.

“Boss of the Swamp” is the Man! Learned a lot watching his videos.

It's lovely, but I would have made it higher off the ground. One thing I learned from my dad's cottage was animals will sooner or later get under there, and it nice to be able to get under, chase them out, fix any damage And definitely put in gutters.

The only thing I can say might be a problem you'll regret in the future is having the posts go into the concrete. Even treated lumber can have issues over time when it's IN concrete. A different way to do it would have been to have the concrete with post anchors so that the wood is separated from the concrete for longevity of the wood.

I’d rather do the concrete slab instead of lumber. You were right about that. I wanna build two of these. One to live in and the other to work. This is more involved than O thought.

Also, my money would be on the container, if there's a major storm, or say if one of those trees fell on it! What if a fire breaks out? I have a feeling the damage would be greater in the shed home.

Good solid decisions. Hope your years ahead are full of fun and adventure.

Thank you for taking us on a journey into the construction of your beautiful self built Cabin. At first sight the eye is taken with how 'Just Right' the Cabin looks and this continues from every perspective. Upon entering, the sheer beauty of the timber walls, ceiling and floor are a joy and the well equipped, proportional furnishing and kitchen cabinet complete the 'Just Right' appearance. The wood burning stove and lanterns complete the homely, warm and comfortable atmosphere and I believe you got the right balance of size and the ceiling height gives such a light and airy ambience. Most cabin originally consisted of one room and yours retains that open, uncramped feel. The roofing sheets look well chosen and will give decades of trouble free service and your point of fitting gutters will be beneficial to the longevity of the walls and also form a rainwater capture system which can be filtered to provide water for cleaning or even drinking. You both have built your beautiful Cabin to a very high standard and with meticulous attention to detail and the high quality of your workmanship is clear to see! That you were able to achieve this on your budget is attributed to your careful research and selection of materials, and you couldn't have bought anything of comparable quality even at double your budget. The love, sweat and cheers you both invested have made for as wonderful a Self Built Cabin as its possible to get. It is elegantly simple and simply elegant! Edited to correct spacing error!

Love the finished product and your KISS approach to water, bathroom, etc. Someone once told me that the best solution is the simplest one that works. This cabin exemplifies that perfectly. Well done!

One of the nicest cabins I've seen .you did a spectacular job building it .

Really nice project! One thing, you might want to install a few vents in the skirt boards on each side so your substructure doesn't quickly rot.

That first stove my grand parents used to have good lord that puts out alot of heat with just a couple of pieces of wood!!! That house is a nice in quiet love shack...!

Nice cabin. Nice work. Looks great. 1. Simple solar and batteries are cheap and work well. Great for lighting, small fans, charging, etc. 2. Gutters are cheap and a great way to get free water. Best to bury a tank for storage below frost line. Small solar / batter pump to move the water. 3. I wouldn't worry about the posts. You will get 20+ years minimum. By that time you will have moved on - or figured out simple concrete blocks will work fine.

I think you did a phenomenal job overall on the construction of this cabin. I’m impressed with the total cost of your build in comparison to just flat out buying a pre-manufactured shed cabin. The only thing I would’ve done differently is I would’ve made the front deck area a bit larger so that you can eventually inclose the area with screening. This allows you to enjoy sitting out-front, all the while having protection/separation from the rain and bugs like mosquitos. Other than that, you have a really nice and cozy little cabin that’s perfect for a hunting trip or a weekend getaway. Nice job! 👌🏻😎

I think it looks great and for 7K one heck of a nice cabin. Your version is much more sturdy than any store bought. I think solar, water capture and maybe an attached outhouse / shower would make it quite livable for a week get away and something you can always add down the road. I'm looking at something similar for a rental getaway and this has some great budget friendly ideas. Nice score on your shopping too.

If possible lift the cabin using 2 40ton jacks (one on either side where u want to place the stone), one side at a time) by digging some earth n the place the jacks n lift the cabin (then place some large level stones) under the cabin foundations, how many stones is up to u.

You need to add vents for air flow under house. If you don’t, it will allow for high humidity to grow mold . You can buy from Lowe’s. Easy to have two across from each side and allow for air flow in summer. Over time, the wood under home will start to rot.

When you have high moisture content during the day and perhaps freezing temperatures during night, there will be condensation. The only thing you can do besides good ventilation is having it vacuum sealed (which is not feasible). Having a moisture barrier is definitely recommended and it might even give your poor design another 5 years, but it does not replace good ventilation. Are you going to build something? I have two tips for you: 1. Be 100% positive that you have sufficient ventilation wherever there is wood. 2. ALWAYS keep wood off the ground. Bonus tip: Thoroughly go through what elements your structure will endure throughout the year, and account for that. (Snow, wind, rain, hot/cold, contraction/expansion, natural water flow in the ground, will the ground shift? Mud? Gravel? Dirt?) There is nothing worse than building your awesome structure only for the roof to fail 5 months later due to snow. Or the support beams to rot away within a year.

I wonder if this design could be modified slightly, to enclose part of the porch, to include a wee bathroom with a window that opens. That's what I would add to this, just a minor adjustment. Also, I was wondering if the floor joists were made using treated lumber? Thanks for the excellent video. Super good job and very crafty, not only in building it, but in sourcing out all the good deals!

Yes, the floor joists are treated lumber. It would be easy to make a bathroom like you describe.

Absolutely beautiful and well thought out. Not too sure still about the 24 inch center frarame but as you said the would exterior and the world siding might be key to adding to strength. Do keep the roof cleared from excess snow however because of the low load-bearing. Waterproofing those skirts with water repellant might extend their life. We uses double 6x6 posts for our base and only now have stated to see some rotting since they are in the ground. 2 part epoxies is great to catch early signs of wood rot and epoxing injected in to the rotted areas will solidify the wood immediately . Your interior design is so warm and inviting. Great job.

I used four ten inch cider logs on cement blocks under the cabin. left plenty of air space, and for water run off. in the twelve years have had no issues.

25 years ago I built a 12 x 20 cabin in the woods of Maine. I had an outhouse and over time I added a propane stove and a couple of propane lights. My biggest regret was not using pressure treated floor framing. Fresh out of the Navy I cut a corner and used cupranol to "preserve" the wood. Sadly the cabin I built with a hand saw and a hammer is revealing the short cut I took.

I love the logic you used when building the cabin. It looks great. I think I would have placed the toilet toward the back of the cabin next to the kitchen. I would have placed the stove in the center of the cabin or perhaps as you enter the cabin. If you need more space you might want to put the dining table top on a piano hinge on the wall and hang the chairs, Amish style, on the walls also. Great job.

Great build and video! Excellent breakdown of materials and cost! Thanks for this information. Will be very helpful when I build my own!
