6 months building cabin in the woods, off grid house start to finish

- Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
- It's time to publish the complete construction of my cabin in the woods. The cabin has a stove, which means you can keep warm in any weather. The cabin has a bed and a table, which means there is a place to sit and sleep, there is a table for eating and cooking. All this I consider the basis for a comfortable stay in this forest cabin, and all the rest is small refinements and improvements, which I will do gradually. There were a total of 25 working days. If you count the days when I didn't work, it was 6 months. I started building the cabin in the last days of spring. Note that before that, I had never built before and had no idea if it would work out or not. It was a good start.

I am a 61 yr old lady, single, never married, watching this, and I have an Uncle who lives in Alaska who is an architect. He is 81 now. My Dad is 83. My Uncle designs all kinds of buildings and has won awards. I guess it runs in the blood that I love watching people create. I am also very creative, but not in the way YOU are. I did build a club house when I was 12 with my siblings from cast off wood from a construction site. The workers gave us all sorts of stuff! It was fun. Watching you build your cabin has been both educational and very enjoyable. I love watching young people do this sort of thing. Live off the land, and use their skills to be self reliant. It amazes me all the skill sets needed to do these things. Math--different abilities with math, such algebra, geometry and trig--which you probably do not even realize you are using. Engineering skills, wood working skills. Then basic survival skills. Farming skills to grow your garden. Just amazes me.
Thanks for documenting your journey, yet another skill set, to film, edit and put together this video. Very smart. You are obviously very smart--well educated, I do not necessarily mean book smart--could be--you are just educated in the ways that you could teach others how to survive and build and be independant too. YOU have lots to share with others. YOU will be successful in all that you do. thanks for sharing! God bless!!
Amazing to see how even in the years 2022/2023 a single person can still build himself a home using a handful of basic materials and a handful of basic hand tools like hammer, handsaw, chisel, level, tape measure, etc. You’ve proven that it doesn’t take too many resources to create a long lasting home. 👍
Are you kidding me?!? It takes a lot of resources. Human Resources. Sheer physical stamina and determination. After watching for just 7 minutes I was exhausted! And all I did was just watch!
I imagine using hand tools without the power was best do to keeping with nature. Here again, some people feel more comfortable with hand tool instead of power tools. I'm not sure what he sprayed on the wood. I only hope it's safe for nature around. Thanks for video.
Ему удалось вас одурачить? Внимательно нужно видео смотреть,лежит шуруповёрт просто так? Приносит готовые обрезанные в размер доски,в конце видео,шпунтованные обналичники на окнах, наверное стамеской вытесал?😂
Just so impressed with this build! It’s absolutely the perfect size for solitude in this crazy, ridiculous world. Lovely to see you carve out this slice of beauty for yourself and whomever you choose to share it with. Hope you enjoy years of pleasure there.
😅
As my Dad would say “I’m not allergic to work…I can sit & watch it all day”. lol….anyway, I would love to be right there helping. Growing up I was always helping my Dad with everything…he was a very wise man & I learned so much from him. He taught me when you do something give it 100+%. I love your cabin!!! Now all you need is a outhouse!!
Your daddy is a wise man )). Thank you!
Такой молодец! Смотрю без отрыва и как мне это нравится! Этот дом для длительного проживания..хочется посмотреть продолжение обустройства вокруг дома! С уважением из России❤
Согласен!!
This is relaxing and fun to watch. Makes everyone want to get a cabin in the woods for a retreat
This is one of the rare videos on RUclips that I watched without skipping even a single second; you truly are a master at this, my friend.
I'm an old lady now but I always wished I could do something like that. It's great just watching you do it! Thank you!
Me too!
Same here! In my mind I can build along side of him. But my body won’t let me climb the ladder. 😢
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Me too! I’m a 70 years old grandma and I love watching these videos. You can sure tell theses young men didn’t grow up playing video games all day! They’re hard working from sun up to sundown 😊
From Japan with love
It was many times more fun than watching Hollywood movies.
May your life be fulfilling.
Thank you for the wonderful video
Thank you!
The best thing to come out of Hollywood the past 20yrs is the interstate
My thoughts exactly.
Japanese people always have such a genuinely nice way of saying things. @mypersonaljournal did you nail the whole frame down to the base or is it just resting on top? Can't seem to find the point in the video for it.
Я зараз на лікуванні в шпиталі гарне відео відволікає від проблем і війни дякую за твою роботу з мене лайк і підписка.
Dude, this cabin in the woods is truly, incredibly cool! To go from nothing to a home with furniture that you built with your own hands must make you SOOO proud of your accomplishments. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you, and appreciate that you recorded it for us all to watch. I wish you all the best in everything you do. Blessings! 🌳🌞🕊❤✨🌲
It really gives a good feeling realizing you did everything yourself. Thanks for the encouragement!
This was so satisfying to watch. I really enjoyed it and to watch you do double pane windows 😮 with dehumidifier pellet track in between 🫣AND hinges ❤🎉🥰.... blew my mind!🤯.
Everything so precise 🤗!
When I was a little girl I used to daydream building walls doors and windows in my basement 😵
Watching this is like therapeutic. And I'm only half way through 🤔
Thank you for this beautiful labor of love ❤️
Wow.that is so much better than what I live in now. Great job
Apart from the construction process, your filming and presentation method is not boring or drawn out.Beautiful, cozy and well made cabin.Congratulations.
Thanks especially for pointing out the camera footage.
Eu queria 7m cabana assim p mim q linda. ❤
Agree with you
Wait I can’t believe this isn’t tagged #ASMR I literally fell asleep with my newborn. He was also so incredibly soothed by the noises it was a beautiful experience to bond with my boy while getting the intense satisfaction of watching an American build his own home as the original settlers did! I am so impressed that you did all of this in solitude without causing it to sound like a construction site! Beautiful work! Enjoy your slice of heaven!!!!
HE IS SO HARD WORKING AND AMAZING!
He is from Ukraine
Thank you so much. I'm very glad your little one fell asleep to my video. That's very sweet
I appreciate this video, without music and talking. So cool cabin, great skills! 🥰
Thank you so much!
I am gobsmacked at your skills in building this cabin. From tools you used to the installation of doors, windows, heater, then making furniture, absolutely riveting. I was so disappointed when it ended 🥲I could have sat through the night watching you build! I think I was waiting for the bench outside on the porch. Thank you so much for sharing. I absolutely loved it. Happy 2024 🎉
You're right, I wanted to do a porch bench too, but didn't have time last year. I'm sure I'll make it this year ))
@@mypersonaljournal looking forward to it! 👏👏👏👍
When I first came upon this video, and saw the run time, I was thinking, I cannot hang that long for a video. But, this was like watching a great movie. The time went so fast, because I was absolutely enthralled from start to finish on how you made this cabin with your bare hands. This was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.😃
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Это самая добротная, самая аккуратная, самая теплая избушка, какие только видела при строительстве в лесу. Все точно подогнано, продумано, заранее подготовлено и аккуратно установлено. Браво !
😂😂😂
Я все життя мрію про свій будинок, а ви не мрієте , ви робите , молодець, ви майстер- золоті руки !!!
Дякую
Beautiful job a labor of love and all with hand tools..No noisy generator or power tools. No wonder they all got together for a barn raising. Really a labor of love.
Thank you
Нереальний будинок для відпочинку на самоті серед майже вікового соснового лісу. Успіхів вам. Процвітання каналу.
Дуже дякую за вашу підтримку!
Настоящий мужской труд. Красивый домик получилось.
Very clear that we have a craftsman here with loads of commercial experience. Notice the importance he places in his movement, always calculating the energy required to push each task through to completion, with emphasis given to getting it right the first time. Not in a rush, but further ahead being the result. This presentation is worth regarding in its entirety.
Thank you so much for comparing me to a master craftsman, but this is the first time I've built a cabin like this
My wife and I thought you were a pro-- we're proud to have seen you at your best. Thank you for a very entertaining video.
Then you don't know much about construction. The first thing he does, cinderblock footers on surface dirt, is so wrong. Like, structurally dangerous levels of wrong.
I came across your content today and was totally engrossed and delighted in watching you build your little cabin in the woods!! Love it❤ I need to find someone to do this for me one day!! Take care and keep sharing your journey!!😊
I am pleased that my video has piqued your interest. Thank you for your support!
This is the best side of internet. Amazing anonimous people doing amazing things. Thanks! You made my wish come true - yes, we are all one, so I can enjoy it as my own.
Thank you for the positive feedback
Огромнейшая работа. Ты молодец и не тяп ляп, а стараешься по уму делать все. За качественный инструменты и одежду, отдельный респект, сразу видно человек максимально погружен в свое увлечение.
14:36 - looks like you installed these lining boards upside down .. these locking grooves should face down, not up. Right now rainwater can penetrate into the joints of the boards, and in the long run make the walls rot .. which is no bueno at all.
However, what impressed me the most was that this cabin was built with hand tools only .. most DIY builders would be helpless without modern things like a table saw, pneumatic nail gun, battery screwdriver and generator.
Your tiny house looks nice and cozy .. well done!! 👍✌
You make a good point, I didn't secure the boards correctly, but I didn't know that at the time, and there's no point in redoing it now. Thank you for your support!
@@mypersonaljournal- You can still save the situation by adding transparent silicone sealant over those joints so the water won't get into the gaps. It would be best to do it in the summer when it is dry. A lot of work, but I think it would be worth it.
no the tounge and groove boards was one of the few things he got right .The tonge goes UP.
@@jonelf2 I believe he got a lot more things right than just a few, congrats Roma!
@@greybeard5774 oh please, dont never ever do that silicone... just keep painting in good condition
This is very impressive! I can’t believe you did everything by yourself because that does not look like an easy thing to do. I think it came out really good and congratulations on your build. I hope you enjoy it!
I don't believe it myself sometimes. Sure, there are some misses, but it's good for the first time :)
Гарна робота і відпочинок для думок і радість серцю на природі. Браво! Дикі кабани одобрили першими....😁
Дуже дякую вам. А ось олені чомусь вже не приходять
Парень, ты крутой! Настоящий Молодец! 💪

Beautiful work! Very articulate, strive for perfection, and a lot of attention to detail. Taking your time and doing this kind of project right, will always pay off. Too many people are always in a hurry, then disappointed when they realize that it could have been different. Love the House and love the attention to detail!
Thank you. I try to keep things neat. I hope to keep it that way)))
Я женщина. Тоже могу такой дом построить, имея такие стройматериалы. А вам , мужчины, стыдно умиляться, мол какой мастер, рукастый
I love the fact your building your dream space in the woods , just a note on cladding .tongue should be upwards groove upside down as water will sit in groove and rot it also I hope its very dry and sealed very well as shrinkage will pull tongue out of groove on warmer days plus one fixing at base of board as two nails top and bottom will make board split in the middle , one fixing allows timber to expand and contract and holds the board below
I didn't know about the groove at the time). Thanks for the advice
This is utterly astounding. All things are possible with God! Amazing
E não é qualquer cabana... É uma cabana bem feita e bonita. PARABÉNS pelo belíssimo trabalho.😍👏🏻 Congratulations!🎉 I FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you!
nice job but the boards are out on wrong. the tongue should be facing up and the grove facing down. the way you have it water will set in the grove and rot the wood.
Гарна хатина пане Роман , вітаю !
Дуже дякую!
Congratulations 🇨🇮 🙋♀️ 👏👏👏🆗️👌👍manca solo un amico a 4 zampe🐕🎸🎶 come un altro uomo che ha fatto un rifugio nel bosco da solo come te. Bravissimo 👍
Jesteś bardzo utalentowany niech cię Bóg błogosławi pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🤗
Very nicely done! I very much have enjoyed watching this. One suggestion I have regarding the V-groove siding. It’s better to have the tongues facing upwards so that the water sheds off onto the surface of the siding. When you have the groove facing up, the water can flow down into the groove and soak into the siding. The way you did it isn’t a show-stopper, but this comment is for future reference.
Totally agree with you, but I didn't know that at the time :)
Hello Roma. To think you started out just a short time ago and have come so far. Your work is amazing. Will continue to follow you to see what you come up with next. Every video is an adventure. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your support!
I like how you tried to feed the little spruce beetle 😅
Какой замечательный спациалист.Я вообще удивлена, что такие мастера ещё есть.
This was so fun to go with you on this journey - you did an excellent job of making a darling little cabin - it looked so cozy and relaxing - turned out so cute!!! Good job!!❤
Thank you so much for your support!
I was so impressed on the way you went about building your cabin. The old style traditional tools and pure grit. You are so meticulous in everything you do. Very refreshing to watch! Job well done!
Id like to have seen a more stable foundation laid down. Ground heaves from frost or excessive water can swell the ground, and dry earth can cause sinking
@@user-yq2rn2hy8p I didn't have the heart to tell him that the way he laid the cement blocks was at their weakest. The strongest is with holes facing vertically, not horizontally.
Thank you!
@@EliWurth There is nothing wrong with you wanting to admonish me. I have no experience and I accept any adequate criticism. Thank you!
Porcupines and red squirrels love plywood. We use to undercoat our plywood to prevent damage under the cabin and sheds
Amazing, many congratulations. I'm here in London wishing I had a cabin in the woods away from it all so thank you for allowing me to share yours. Health & Happiness for 2024
Thank you so much! I wish you the same
Молодец Рома! Отличный дом построил!
Поход с Димой по Турции был тоже супер!
You worked very calmly and professionally. The video was very enjoyable. Congratulations.
Thank you so much for your support!
People don't insulate the floor, that's like sleeping on a box spring with a bunch of blanket on top while the cold comes from the bottom. I didn't see your floor insulated--I might have missed it but that's very important, most people don't pay attention to the floor. Having as much of the chimney chute running inside the cabinet would allow more heat to radiate inside instead of it being lost externally--you could have six more feet of heat radiating inside your house instead of losing all that footage of heat to the outside.
He insulates the floor at the beginning of the video very clearly. Don't know how you missed it. My concern is there was no airspace between the insulation and flooring so condensation could vaporize well.
Floor is insulated.
@@Mari-ok6xg I agree. A vapor barrier would be tremendously helpful when the floor insulation is above ground and air moves always. Plywood sheets will not stop humid air.
This looks amazing,and once you have your furniture in ,curtains and pictures on the walls,it will look really cosy and sound less hollow.Shane is a keeper you know,he does some fabulous woodworking and it helps your home come to life and look more bespoke .You should be proud of him.Not a lot of husband work as hard as he does,a lot are just come in and watch the telly husbands.I know.Your home is coming together beautifully now..GodBless you all 🥰
Thank you so much for your support
Really inspiring! Proof that you can do everything you want... on your own. Away from noisy people and surounded by nature. I have a project in mind and watching this video makes me even more eager to go for it and forget about anyone who tells me that I can't do it on my own, especially because I am a woman. Yeah, they have no idea how strong I am and how powerful my mindset is! Thanks for sharing, you are a valiant and hard working man!
I was thinking the same thing!
There is a lot of power in each of us, we just need to let it come out. Thank you! You'll do great!
Loved watching your talents at work, the sounds of nature and construction! Truly enjoyed!
That's why I'm doing all this. So that I'm not the only one who can relax in a place like this. Thank you!
Im actually a 27 year old female and I love videos like this yours was one of the best yet ❤❤
Hope to see more from you in the future 😊
Thank you so much! It's really nice that such a young girl is interested in such videos
It's great that you built your own house by yourself. The guest cabin is very nice
You inspire me. I want to do this in another two years before retirement. Thank you for sharing.
You will definitely make it. Thank you for your support!
Roma, hello! The house is super! I watched all the stages of construction earlier, the class!!!
Рома, привет! Дом - суперский! Смотрел ранее все этапы строительства, класс!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
❤❤❤amazing! Students at school from 9 grade have to look how make things happen, instead of watching and playing games all days around!😊
WWWWOOOOWWWW ME COMI UN RE VIAJE CON ESTE VIDEO....MUY BUENO PARA DESPEJARSE!!!!!
ive spent the last few years renovating an old cottage , your video gave me the energy to carry on.. brilliant brilliant work many thanks from england
Thank you for your support!
the wood were kept and well
well designed ❤
Thank you!
I really enjoy only hearing the sound of your work and the forest around you. It all speaks for itself. I think that is a Stink bug. If it is, it's now your new best friend. You are meticulous in your building. Love the black color as well. Thank you for an interesting, calming, and enjoyable video. Looking forward to more.😊👍
😊I can't leave this channel, and it's just great to see him do all this from scratch. I really want to do something similar now!! but going to the forest and building something is kind of difficult 😅 I loved it (I liked that little beetle too, so cute!❤)
It is absolutely stunning! The wood stove is gorgeous! I bet it was easier to build that cabin than it was filming, editing and charging that camera! Thank you!
Building is as hard as filming and editing. The difference is in the physical exertion ))
Wow ! Cabin in the woods ! So cool !😀
To the person who comes here after a hard and challenging day: well done, you did well today and tomorrow will be better. Just relax, block out all the distracting noises and enjoy the relaxing sounds of nature. I wish you the best
I can smell this video. It smells great!
Thanks for sharing your journey.
And thank you for the feedback
We enjoyed a 15x25ft cabin for 27yrs, had an 40:55 8x16 deck w awning- loved it! Great video
Why did you stop? using it
I felt peace watching it! It's so inspiring! I wish I have that skills! Congratulations! What a beautiful job!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
بسیار عالی
از اول تا آخر با شور و شوق و هیجان نگاه کردم و همچنین آمدن باران ،روشن کردن آتش و گذر آهوها و خرگوش ها و گرازهای جنگلی و در آخر آمدن برف و حس زمستانی بسیار لذت بخش بود و حس میکردم آنجا هستم
سپاس هنرمند🙏
I have seen a few of these videos where you young guys take off to build a house by yourselves. I’m so impressed by it. You’re not afraid of work not to mention the skills you all have. I love watching your videos. Your cooking looks pretty darn tasty too. God bless and be safe. 😊
This is probably the first time I give a comment on RUclips, this cabin is awesome !! love the fact your record everything I would love to do something like this too. you inspired me today
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Glad you liked it ))
Друже, моя повага за твою роботу і твій креатив. В деяких моментах, дивувався з твоїх рішень, але загалом, вийшло неймовірно!
Ви знаєте, я сам інколи дивуюсь)). Дякую!
I watched with great pleasure your work at home, which you produced largely with natural materials, without using technological tools. I congratulate you for your work in a principled manner, in which you will enjoy your time and accumulate good memories. Greetings from Turkey.
Просто супер! И руки золотые,и голова всё продумывает,и аккуратность в крови...слов нет,вот труд не абы как,а все классно.Благодарим вас,молодой человек!! Любо- дорого и сколько терпения.Лучше вашего домика в лесу не видели.
Nice build 👍 We made the same kind of windows when we built our cabin. But they let all heat out too fast so replaced them now with 3-glass energy windows from factory. It had a huge difference on our wood consumption, we halfed our wood burning.
Maybe I'll get to that point someday too ))))
Amazing. Just amazing.
That's a lot of dedication
Who are you guys
ein großartiges Werk was du da mit voller Liebe auch mit Hand und Fuß erschaffen hast, weiter so im Leben. Glückwunsch aus deutschland.💋⭐👄💋⭐👄⭐💋⭐👄💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you Simon for all your help. You r our great enabler. I do not know how I am able continue staying in that house without you n Sarah help and support.
Yes the house was

❤Peggy and the animals
Merry Christmas!
Thank you! You too!
Merry Christmas 🎅 to you
Meinen Respekt vor deinem Können. Der Bau des Thermofensters und der Einsatz von Dämmung wird die Wohnqualität erheblich steigern. Toll, wie du da selbst machst. Mein Vater ist Tischler. Ich durfte ihm manchmal helfen. Ich bewundere deine passgenaue Arbeit.
Herzliche Grüße aus Sachsen/ Deutschland
I'm just learning, but I'm getting somewhere. Thank you!
Amazing work. Beautiful cabin from start to finish in the forests. Interesting to watch. Tnx4sharing. Watching from DUBAI
우연히 알고리즘으로 방문해서 시간가는줄 모르고 귀한영상 잘보구 갑니다 저두 언젠가 제손으로 당신이 만든 집처럼 멋진 집을 만들고자 다짐하는 좋은계기가 되었습니다😊 건강하시구 행복하세요!
당신이 나와 함께 있어서 기뻐요! 감사합니다 :)
The attention to detail and precision is incredible. Tremendous. Thanks for taking the time to film it!
Thanks for taking the time to watch this and support me!
Amazing work, especially that it was done entirely with hand tools. My late husband would've loved to have seen this. We always wanted a cabin in the woods.
Браво!!!
И за эстетику выполненной работы, и за выполнение этой работы!!!
Впечатляющее видео!
Ещё раз БРАВО!
This is so cool! My fav part was when you made the bed out of boards. I dont know why but i LOVE watching stuff like this. I also love winter ambiences. One of my fav channels os Tiny Cabin Life. I think its the peacefulness of it. Even in my apartment, i love for it to just be cozy and serene. ✨😌💜
Totally agree with you. Thank you!
Great build, thank you for sharing your journey. What a great cabin you have there, well worth the effort if you ask me and now you can enjoy the fruits of your labour for years to come. Love the choice of orange as accent color to the dark exterior.
Had thoughts of repainting to a more standard color (brown), but decided to leave it that way for now. Thank you!
The orange accent is perfect! Your whole project is very Zen. Very calming for your viewers as well. Thanks for sharing.
Design, materials, construction, filming great. A
Es increíble lo q lograste hacer en esta cabaña tu solo me encantó muchas felicidades quedó hermosa ❤
Thank you!
Hi Roman. Your cabin is absolutely very well and you're very hardworking man. Greetings from Türkiye.
Thank you!!!
Absolutely stunning little cabin. So impressive!
What a beautiful place to live, surrounded by trees and nature.
From Saudi Arabia, I congratulate you. I watched all the clips without getting bored❤
Masz talent kolego ,piękna robota 👏👍👍
