    Currently I'm living in Belding Michigan, but I'm thinking about selling everything off, & moving East of Memphis Tennessee. My goal is to build on roughly between a 5 & 10 acre plot, at least a 14X28 cabin to start. Then possibly within up to 2 years later build another same size to match, to make a it a 28X28 Because I'd like to have 2 bedrooms because I'll renter to help with the build.

    You're an inspiration...great job putting one video together from many...I was born in Bath, Maine and thought of going back most of my life. Well, now as I'm getting older I can't fight the feeling anymore 😁, sounds like a song haha. But I'm on the verge of buying 11+ archers not far from Skowhegan. It's all woods and not developed. My cabin plan is a bit bigger than yours and I plan on solor and wind for power. There's a seasonal stream on it too, and being Maine, water won't be an issue 😊. Hopefully by the end of August I'll be there. I plan on LIVING in a large 16' teepee tent like a yurt. Things that make me go hmmm 😂🤣😂🤣. Jerry

    Hi, you say the moisture barrier you put up last on the front side bec you ran out of the other one is not the same as you say. Can we agree that the moisture in a house comes from the inside. Americans make there house so odd, to us. From the warm inside of a house you shall have a moisture barrier so you do NOT get wet inside the walls/floor and ciling. Using only Tyvek on the outside and make a ventilated wall from the outside is the better way to do it. Now you got a plywood that is filled with glue and can not breathe and on that a roofing waterproof "paper", no chans for the walls to breath to the outside and your moisture gona stay in the walls. Also no ventilated roof. I also wonder why all do there flooring first, now you got a wet insulation in the floor and same there no moisture membran and why install plywood between the wall and the floor all the way to the outside. Now you can not lift the floor sheets and dry the floor insulation. Much better to just install the floor joists and do the rest when the house is water proof.
