Hey Everyone! We did it, we moved to the off-grid property. I hope you are as excited as us. What's something you are excited to see moving forward, let us know with a comment!
Totally, we’ve watched a lot of videos like that. We were definitely intentional. Some people may think we’re crazy but the peace of mind that we aren’t worrying about inhaling all those particles makes me much more comfortable. Thanks for watching!
Great thinking! We did end up using a water block paint for the walls which I’ll have a clip of in the next episode. Hoping to tackle the French drain in the spring as we have so much we are trying to get done before winter that we won’t get to it this year. Thanks!
Oh! You have to drain the house. Dig down all the way to the same level as the floor. I saw someones comment that recommended rubberseal inside, don’t. Do a professional drain insted. I think it is going to be very nice.
That will be the plan come spring/early summer. Running out of time with all our projects this year but hoping to get it done for sure! Thanks for your comment!
Awesome cabin! We started the same journey 1 year ago. It’s been a lot of fun…everything but the popped tires and rats has been fun 😂. Enjoy the ride ❤
Yes, very lucky to have it. We were told they had to dynamite bedrock to put it in. So crazy! Mainer, so cool! Such a beautiful state! Minnesota just got a new flag this past year, I’m still cheering for the White Pine flag to come back there 😄
The only issue with insulating the ceiling is that the wood stove is in the basement and it would stop a lot of heat from traveling up to the main floor by trapping it in. We did end up using a waterproof sealer which I’ll show a little bit in the next video. French drain will have to come in the spring/early summer as we’re running out of time for many of the projects we want to get done before the snow flies. Thanks for the ideas! Look forward to hearing more as we post new videos!😊
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Taking the paneling away from the cinder blocks is the best thing you could have done as it creates to much moisture. And if you have a wood stove in the basement, that'll help keep the cinder blocks dry until you can get a perimeter drain in next year. I'll be looking forward to more of your videos...
@@KootenaysBCMountainMan Thanks for reiterating our thoughts! Hoping we are checking off the items to get to a point that it’s no longer an issue. Glad to have you along! Thanks for watching!😊
When we took our hot tube off the back deck it was full of big ants in the foam insulation. We also had a canoe that had carpenter ants in the foam of the front and back of the canoe. I had never seen such large channel in the foam.
They were probably in there for years. Hopefully we are stopping the conditions they love now so that we don’t have to worry anymore. Thanks for sharing your personal experience, hope your canoe wasn’t completely ruined, that would be a shame.
New to the channel,, trying to eventually do the same thing,, still have to purchase land etc etc .my house I'm in now is almost paid off!! Can't wait to see what you all do,,thanks for sharing your journey.
Awesome! We had decent equity after flipping our last house. This has been a dream for a while now, so happy to start making it happen! You’ll get there when you’re ready!! Thanks for watching, we’ll keep putting them out, welcome to the journey!😊
Hello from North Carolina...just subscribed , liked , and will share on my Face Book. Really enjoyed this video and your fur babies. So excited about your journey and the move into your cabin. Plan to watch all of your videos and get to know ya'll better. I am 64 yrs old a retired Cosmetologist , 30 yrs in service of cutting hair and hair color. Live in foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns. Hope to see more videos and keep up with your updates. Much love and blessings to you both and fur babies........
Yay NC! We lived in Winston Salem for 5 years. We frequented western NC all the time! Awesome place to live! Thanks for following along, look forward to building community with you!!😊
Looks like there are no gutters on the sides of the cabin. Get some up quick so water can be diverted from hitting the ground and soaking the basement walls.
A couple of years ago my husband went to get his bow target down from the upper part of our shed, lifted up the target and seen a bunch of carpenter ants. My husband moved some of our camping chairs and an air mattress. The carpenter ants were under and in the camping chairs and an air mattress. We took the camping chairs out of there sleeves and the carpenter ants were eating the cloth of the chair, they ate some of the plastic of the air mattress also. The carpenter ant ruined the chairs and the air mattress. So we took everything out of the shed and set off a Hot Shot fogger and closed the door. That killed all of the carpenter ants.
Dang! They’ll eat everything it sounds like! We haven’t seen any live ones since ripping everything out of the basement. There were tunnels in the framing and board insulation but haven’t found much else for problems. Crossing our fingers getting the damp stuff off the walls fixes it. We’ll do some treatments and monitor for sure. Sorry you had to deal with the like that
You should get waterproof paint for the cement walls to prevent moisture from penetrating and check to see if the previous owner waterproof the outside walls. spray for ants and termites
Great thinking! We did paint the block walls with a cement block waterproof paint and it’ll be on the next episode. There is a local pest company that does treatments for the carpenter ants as well as the dang flies we keep getting so we’re debating about having them out. Getting rid of the moisture was the main battle as it’s what they love so hoping we’ll be good going forward. There is black paint or tar under the ground level. We’ll see about updating it come spring. Little late in the season now with all the other projects we have. All awesome ideas, thank you!!😊
We’d never want that. Luckily Frank and Wallace mind very well. We use them anytime we’re worried. They are just so heavy, we hate them having to wear them when we feel comfortable
Carpenter ants love insulation and seem to prefer it to wood in my remote cabin experience. I’m guessing that it’s so much easier to build their nests in. My cabin was timber framed with stress skin panels for the walls. All of my ant problems were in the insulation within the panels.
That’s a bummer but great to hear as we haven’t seen damage to the cabin logs, it was only the insulation boards and framing next to it. I did notice holes through a foam gasket under the pressure treated sill boards on top of the blocks. Hopefully it means they came in through the easiest route and stayed in the nice warm walls in the insulation. I’m going to treat the area and keep an eye out. We’ve talked about building a timber frame structure in the future, that’s very cool you have one! They are very neat
¡Hola! What a beautiful country you’re from! I spent a little time in Barcelona many years ago (Matt). Thanks for following along and I hope we can keep putting out entertaining videos! Cheers!😊
@Trailvagabonds We originally from the UK, we moved to the mountains of Spain 18 years ago & love it. Barcelona is a stunning City. Take care & looking forward to sharing your journey. Patricia ♥️
I see a wood burner in the basement and vent in the floor upstairs. Will that be the heating system for the cabin? Thanks for sharing looking forward to more.
Yep, it’s our source of heat. We are explore a propane in wall heater but aren’t positive if we’ll get one install this year. Crossing our fingers we’re getting enough wood stacked. We also want to figure out battery powered and stove heat powered fans to move air around the cabin
My husband and I had what’s called ( Black Mammy ) spread thick on our concrete foundation and then foam boarding and drainage pipes On the outside wall , it’s been 30 years and NO water. ….. sure dont know if that’s an option for you.
There is something black around the foundation that is under ground but maybe it wasn’t done well? But I think come spring/early summer we will try and do that, everything you mentioned. Getting ahead of the problem seems important. Thanks for your comment, very helpful!!
Yes I've seen the ants eat the insulation. I built the kids an 8'X8' clubhouse and used the blue foam stuff that has a plastic film on both sides. The ants made tunnels in it and it looked like an ant farm that we had when we were kids.
Dang! Yea, the more I’ve researched it, the more I have found they eat anything as long as the damp, humid conditions continue. I hope we have got to the root cause and can keep the place less humid to stop them on their tracks. Hopefully I can find a decent product to use to combat them too. For now, I’m happy to report we haven’t seen any live ants after removing all the damp and rotten framing near the insulation. Did you do anything to combat them?
@@Trailvagabonds It's been awhile back, we probably used ant bait or something. I told the guy at the lumber yard about it and he said that he had never heard of ants eating the insulation.🤷
Gotcha, our local hardware store recommended a powder. A log home store that’s well known in Minnesota suggests a borate treatment. We’ll see if we do anything like that as we haven’t seen anything new now that we removed stuff. But I’d hate to have the cabin be destroyed otherwise
@@Trailvagabonds I had a new neighbor that recently brought me Roaches, they got in my shed and the bug guy at work said to sprinkle Boric acid along the edges of the walls, it worked on the Roaches.
We used to live in North Carolina and had roaches there. I think we did something similar in our old musty shed to try and keep them at bay. Such a survivalist creature, they’ll be here long after us 😆
Haha! Love it! We actually have the bottle sitting outside still, come on by and we’ll pour you a glass!😊 Thanks for the subscription, looking forward to having you along on the ride!!
@@tuggben5510 Awe, interesting! It’s very cool how so many words are utilized in different languages with sometimes even different meanings. The style cabin is very much traditional Scandinavian settlers to the United States. I know that was the inspiration.
Oh yeah! Busy busy! We had 4 cords delivered and just starting to move and stack it. We also had about a cord already on the property that the previous owner just made piles of in random places. Been a lot of work going through it. I’ll probably put a video out just on firewood in the coming weeks. We’d like to possibly install a small wall mount propane heater to take the edge off as we have a 500 gallon tank but not sure we’ll get to it this season. We’ll see, having animals, it would be nice to have it for a steady temp when we have to be gone for hours
If you have wood stove or wood burning heater it will dry everything up nothing like wood burning should put some kind of wood burning down stairs will take that muskie smell out and damp ness
The thickness of the bench planks? It’s an inch and a half thick. The outside piece was between 18-20” wide. The inside was about 16”. We’re thinking it’ll become a desk or kitchen counter in a future build😀

We whole heartedly agree that the property is our workout room. We hike, bike, ski, snowshoe, and we are into dog powered sports. Yes, year round things to do outdoors. But I also love bicycling and having the option of my bike on an indoor trainer is an important aspect to staying fit for me, especially when it’s -30F and I may not be interested in anything else outdoors. We both grew up in the woods and this is home. Thanks for watching, hopefully our big city ideas will grow on you if you continue to follow😉

Haha, Katie’s definitely not scared of a little dirt. We started dating backpacking for multiple days on the Superior Hiking Trail. She’s at home off grid as I’m sure you’ll find if you continue watching our videos. I’m keep her!❤️
Hey Everyone! We did it, we moved to the off-grid property. I hope you are as excited as us. What's something you are excited to see moving forward, let us know with a comment!
Thank god you cleaned it, so many video’s where people put there bed right inches middle of junk And fungus on the walls.
Totally, we’ve watched a lot of videos like that. We were definitely intentional. Some people may think we’re crazy but the peace of mind that we aren’t worrying about inhaling all those particles makes me much more comfortable. Thanks for watching!
nice cabin, new subscriber from Norway here, looking forward to seeing more from the off grid cabin life 🤠
Yay! Thanks from subscribing from so far away. We have dreams of traveling Norway one day! Nice to have you on this journey 😊
Cement is porous you might have to put some water block paint on the cinderblocks and do the French drain around the house
Great thinking! We did end up using a water block paint for the walls which I’ll have a clip of in the next episode. Hoping to tackle the French drain in the spring as we have so much we are trying to get done before winter that we won’t get to it this year. Thanks!
YES WET TERMITES
Gotcha, hopefully we get ahead of them in the future and can start preventing them

U can get a product to roll on ur blocks to repel water from coming in..😊
Thanks for the comment! We ended up finding a waterproofer for block walls and I use it in the next video. Hoping it does the trick!😊
Can’t wait to see what you get going with the cabin, Matt and Katie!! What a great adventure for you both!!😊
Thank you! Checking off that list for winter! Sooooo much to do still
Awesome cabin! We started the same journey 1 year ago. It’s been a lot of fun…everything but the popped tires and rats has been fun 😂. Enjoy the ride ❤
Haha, oh dang! We had rats in North Carolina at a rental we were in for a bit. Not fun. We’re dealing with mice here but no popped tires so far 😆
That really is a very nice cabin !!! And your good to the dogs !! 👍👍👍👍👍👍🐕🦺🐕🦺🦮🐶
Thank you! 😊 We definitely love them and they are happy we chose this property, hehe. Thanks for watching!
I think you should get directional finders for the dogs
We have gps collars we utilize with them on some hikes. Especially our Husky, Sigurd, off leash. Very helpful
How fortunate to have a basement in this off grid home…looking forward to seeing what you do with your place.. Mainer here!
Yes, very lucky to have it. We were told they had to dynamite bedrock to put it in. So crazy!
Mainer, so cool! Such a beautiful state! Minnesota just got a new flag this past year, I’m still cheering for the White Pine flag to come back there 😄
New here from Pennsylvania!!!!!! Looks exciting!!!!!
Welcome! Thanks for following along!!😊
Mabe insulation on the ceiling of the basement and maybe a sealer on the blocks. A French drain is an excellent idea
The only issue with insulating the ceiling is that the wood stove is in the basement and it would stop a lot of heat from traveling up to the main floor by trapping it in.

You need a basement rubber seal you paint on to seal the moisture in a basement
We actually decided to do just that, we purchase a cement block waterproof sealer paint. We’ll show how it turned out in the next episode 🙌🏼

@ beautiful area indeed!!
Looks like there are no gutters on the sides of the cabin. Get some up quick so water can be diverted from hitting the ground and soaking the basement walls.
Yes! This is the best advice we’ve had yet. I want to get gutters up it not sure how soon we can do it. It’s on our list for sure!!
This next big chapter is looking awesome so far man!!

Those ants love foam. That's why I never use foam insulation.
Gotcha, I had no idea. Definitely won’t use it in the future unless we mitigate them coming in.
