    About 6 years ago I was inspired by Shawn James (My Self Reliance) and we bought our homestead property in Northern Pennsylvania. I had considered building myself from scratch but ended up doing a pre fab building that I put together myself. A ground up build would have taken months and with the pre fab I had it all together in less than 4 weeks. We have a windmill and solar for power and collect rain water with a filtrations system that provides us with all we need ( also have a diesel generator for backup). I'm 54 now and wish I had done all of this sooner. I was stuck in that "someday" mentality where someday is the same thing as never. You never know until you try. Keep grindin

      @skins4lyfe I did have help, and everytime I had help those folks showed up in a video. As for skills? Well, if you watch me try and build that chicken coop you will shake your head at how ridiculous I look lol...when I built the first beam you will see I had no idea how to swing a hammer, but I am learning and getting better at every stage 😀 heck, I could not even cut a straight line with a skilsaw when I started hahahhaha....if I can do this, anyone can! Baring physical issues that would stop them....

I have always been a dog person and raised dogs. had my property 6 years I am now 68 years old I just bought a shed and made it a tiny house I live in its a 12×28 Tennessee I'm a woman I live by myself. Well, me and my 3 dogs that are 100 lb each dog. and I love it it's been a lot of hard work I knew how to build things but it was still a learning curve especially when you're old out-of-shape and that I know exactly what you mean there.

    The grading looked like it was done by profession grading and excavating company. Very well done. I worked 20 years in residential construction. I was bored and unchallenged with stick framing construction. I moved on to Industrial and commercial construction for another 31 years. Our company had many jobs in U.S.A. Parkway and it is the biggest industrial park in the world at 160 square miles. One of my highlights for my career was working on a Galvanizing plant. The red iron columns that supported the main frame of the building were 92 foot long and each one weighed over 4 tons. My safety coordinator and I used 2 10054 Sky tracks telehandlers to unload the red iron columns in tandem and place them in the correct locations. The plant has a 12 inch gas line to the furnace and was computer temperature controlled 24 hours a day. The furnace run at 900 degrees fahrenheit. The galvanizing plant is directly located next door to Elon Musk Tesla Mega Giga Factory. I think it is impossible for any one person to know the parameters of all 3 phases of construction. Your brain will never be that big. You may not of had any experience. I think your co workers may have contributed to your success.

      That had to be cool to build! The skid steer work was by far the most fun I have had doing this so far lol...I loke how it turned out too!
      Of all my helpers, my buddy Ward, who helped raise the walls, is actually a builder. We made a deal when I started this, he said he would loan me whatever I needed and give me all the service he could but I had to do it myself. I am very happy we made that deal! Brian who helped while I was sheeting the roof has built a few things in his day, but he was just manual labor for my project and Todd, who gave me the greatest help..and was key to me completing the roof had never really built anything either.

    Sean, you need some lettuce, tomato and onion for those burgers -- just sayin'! And, some of my potato salad and deviled eggs to go along with them! Just a virtual thought to let you know that we are all behind you -- 100% -- well, 99% in my case, since I can't deliver the goods! (I'm in Alabama, and mayo doesn't travel well in this heat!) Love all your videos so much. Thank you.

      The problem with lettuce is I never go through it fast enough, and tomatoes are only for BLTs or eating by the slice. I am on board with the potato salad and eggs though hahhahahaaha!

    Funny you speak of chasing dreams. My dream was also to build a cabin on a piece of land somewhere to my suiting. Somewhere where no building codes were enforced, preferrably. I spent a lifetime building and remodeling homes for others then moved on to flipping houses I owned to get enough money to finally own the land I wanted but after having all the experience building for others and the flips, I no longer had any desire to build my own place. That and creeping age and infirmity caused me to purchase a mobile home to put on the land I obtained. I built so many marvelous things for others that I got it all out of my system. But I do have a nice home in a remote location where no one disturbs me to any degree. So I guess the dream is somewhat fulfilled. Just not as originally planned.

    • @SeanInAlaska
      @SeanInAlaska  Год назад +1

      I would call that a success! Dreams can change and still be what we wanted right? Sounds to me like the core stayed the same...land away from others, a home on it, yup, successful dream!

    Seeing you had to park by side of the road, offload all your gear and then proceed to the build sit I have a Question: Since you had to "walk-in" your tools and materials for your build, do you intend to cut a road to have access to your cabin?
    Also noticed, your having lunch within two minutes of arriving to your build site. Must have been a long hike to get there

    • @SeanInAlaska
      @SeanInAlaska  Год назад +1

      The first thing I did after clearing the trees was to hire a bulldozer to cut in the driveway and a rough pad. This video is made from pieces of previous videos since I started, that is why it looked like it was only 2 minutes, this was actually later in that day. The walk in is really not much at all.
