Thanks brother twas a blast! And a very good carpenters deep dive! Great learning experience Looking forward to accessorizing it
Cute as a button. 😂✌️
Great video! “The whitetail are right over there” had me reminiscing. Thanks Dean
@28:50 - "I actually have stored away a small antique cast iron wood cook stove..."
Amen, brother. I just picked up a FREE Orbon kitchen end heater (these were also colloquially known as "trash burners" down here in the States). Someone had put it out at the curb for the recycling/spring cleanup collection. Orbon isn't as well known for these as Monarch and Atlantic (even though Orbon was a very large manufacturer of cooking and heating stoves), but the only thing that this one needs is a grate crank (this has the duplex style grates, so can efficiently burn either wood or coal - an adjustable wrench will do for the time being, if I do burn coal), and will need a stove pipe damper plate, since the oval damper in the cast iron stove pipe boot is warped and partially burned out - no big problem, very usable. This unit is destined for "summer kitchen" use at our lake lot, in the screened porch of our composting toilet shed, at least in the near term.
One thing to note: these kitchen end heaters have a similar sized fire box to a smaller full-size cook stove, even though they only have 2 burners/pot eyes. I wouldn't want to pack one any substantial distance to a remote cabin, but you could, if you had to. They'd certainly be transportable in a good freight canoe or row boat from "civilization" to a cabin on the other side of the lake. A set of dolly wheels or a wheelbarrow might help, depending on the terrain (I used a light duty appliance dolly with solid tires, but I was just moving it a few blocks in town over paved roads). My main point is that the amount of heat these will throw is impressive for the overall size. If burning coal, they'll also hold a fire for quite a while (8-12 hours, though I have no direct personal experience, since I burn wood, but those who do burn coal attest to this); wood,. not so much (but see my subsequent comment).
If you keep your eyes peeled, small stoves like this end heater seem to show up for under $100 US very frequently. Many of them appear to have been lightly used, if not always well looked after. People installed these once they switched from a solid fuel fired cook stove to a gas or electric range, because the uninsulated kitchen would now get chilly with the new stove not leaking much heat into the kitchen; adding the kitchen end heater, used to brew up the morning coffee, would cure that. Also, small gas (propane or natural gas) and solid fuel (wood/coal) combo cook stoves appear from time to time, which would be nicer in warm weather (but you could just use a propane 2-burner cook top, too), while providing a small oven.
@34:11 - "...so literally every 45 minutes you'd have to put wood in this little stove..." Another alternative: build a stove hat from brick, chimney tile or rocks for added thermal mass, a la Kiko Denzer (just Google Kiko's name and "heater hat"). It's not a Russia stove, but it would be better than constant feeding for use in a fixed location, like this little cabin, and would help to even out the pulses of heat. If hot tenting with a canoe or toboggan, or backpacking, than the collapsible sheet metal stoves (and frequent feeding) will be the order of the day.
Love the info I get from your videos. All of us nerdie girls appreciate the knowledge. You’d be amazed how many men don’t know these things…… I don’t know how I’d get any projects done without RUclips: thanks!
Glad to hear it. I try to fully explain it, but it does get long winded sometimes when I try.✌️
i love your detailed rants. they are packed with knowledge/experience.
Way to go Dean ! awesome carpenter you are .!!😊
It's important now a days to get structure costs reduced .
with no stud wall framing they have cut $70/square feet out of the $100/square foot equation .
Thats just my guesstamation .
Now can you imagine Bunky going to a bigger plan and at least a full bathroom and laundry .
But that would destroy their uniqueness .
But 24' X 24 ' could be the ticket with a loft .
Anyway Dean my brother ,excellent vidieo and well explained reasonings .2 👍👍.
Great thoughts. And the finishing is so nice, and completely done in days. For a 24x24, I would conventional build and the make it look like a log cabin, 🙏✌️
Build Better with RHINO, BUNKIE CAVES kits, more square footage at a lesser price and Fireproof to boot. Always check prices online for Rhino kits.
Fukyeah brother the prepping family grows
That's a good point on the fresh air issue. And I agree that it's very cute looking as built.
I just use a 9 foot steel pole to level my shed with motorcycles in it. It is what I use to help move boat lifts out of the water for winter. A couple steel poles, 2 strong people, hand trucks, and some floats even heavy boat lifts can be moved over seawalls and obstacles. Seasonal business. We had thought about shed kit and campers for our property. Decided on a skillion pavilion on piers. Adding walls next summer to make it a cottage. I do foundations, timber framing, and exteriors for living. Here you need one 14 foot wall in a cabin for sleeping. I live in 200 year old house now. But boiler no forced air. So not forcing air out. An out house with out a vent in winter becomes an ice palace. I like mineral wool. I like cottagecore too.
Great job there. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and picked up some tricks. Only thing I would do differently is I would stagger the joints on the roof purlins.
For 15.000$ I'm starting to think seriously to buy one. Days ago I just discovered the way to buy a little piece of land and make a mini farm...then next step put the house. 👍 how works here in QC😊 bye Dean
Looks good
Now the facts; Just the cabin $10,999.00 loft Add for $4,699.00 Add for stairs $1,699.00 then you have to pay shipping then you have to pay for roofing materials insulation etc etc projected price over $20,000 FOR LESS THAN 110 square footage Tinder Box.
I dunno. Instead of a really crappy $300,000 town house, no bills for this thing. This thing could be a dream to have soon, with almost zero living costs. ✌️
Micro homestead !!! Heated hunting blind with an elevated shooting position!! Nate,, let Dean install a window out back!! great video. thanks.
Wish I would have watched this before our build! I agree that the windows would be better opening out as they really create wasted space on the inside due to their height. 😞 But other than that we love our bunkie!
You are a very kind friend and person to have WOW..
nice
I found a supplier that has those same screws at half price of a GRK
Cool build guys, watched er front to back^^ some ideas that came to mind...they make tiny wood stoves for boats as well...a fan that could move the hot upper deck air back down in winter would be nice too,....oh, might not be "by the book" but saw a YT'er in UK make a heater that burns waste oil^^ seemed like you could run that very low as well. A rocket mass heater might work too with wood, can use either smaller sticks all the time, or give it a good charge and have the thermal mass radiate it over time, plus ita a couch/sitting area as well. Loved seeing ur doggie, my dog used to do the same thing with animal hair, he loved anything with rabbit fur on it^^.
Any small building wood stoves are such a pain to keep feeding little sticks so often. Waste oil heater would be perfect I bet. ✌️
Thanks for the video. I could actually keep up with you. You explained everything so i could understand it.
Hi Dean nice synopsis; recommended reaching out to 'Dickinson stoves & cookers' (American brand) - "Newport diesel or solid fuel heater". Or the Dickinson Lofoten or Dickinson P1200 propane fireplace.....but please fit a carbon monoxide alarm + air-brick upstairs.
Good thought on the CO alarm. I’ll check out the recommendation for heaters. ✌️
Love the building science! Do some of these as a series for different builds. Would love a sauna or ice shack video
Will do! ✌️
Thank you for explaining the insulation thing, I was wondering why no insulation except for the floor and roof a bit, makes sense why not now. Lol!
Great fill-in video that addresses a lot of the issues that came up in Nate's video. Thanks for sharing this!
Back in the day I lived in one of those for a couple of years they were called Panabode back then it was livable but dead winter it was cold.
I would love to see and shower "house"/latrine. Have you two thought about rainwater catchment? We use water containers linked together with a shed built over them. We heat them with a ventless heater in the winter.
Rain water collecting would be great. Could do a tank behind the cabin in the middle and run from both sides. 👍
You guys did a great job!
And it is " cute as a button" !
Great video.
Thanks for sharing
Cool build. I love the full details aka the rant. You got skills. Thanks for sharing, Dean.
Think I covered all the main points. 🤪😂🙏
beautiful and cute
I appreciated the in-depth and knowledgeable rambling. I'm clueless when it comes to construction, so it was really insightful to hear your comments and plans.
AH! You flipped the base over so the vapor barrier faces DOWN and not up! That's a big difference from the impression that I got during Nate's video! I bet that'll do a decent job. Also, the asphalt shingle idea regarding the fluctuation in the foundation is a great plan too.
House wrap is on the underside. It isn’t a vapor barrier though; house wrap (tarp paper you could use also) lets air come through, a little humidity to escape, but protects the structure from direct water hits essentially. 👍✌️
Looks like a fun build; super cute 😉😂😅. Do you worry about it blowing over? I think I would add some lags and some ground anchors on my lot.
It’s sheltered in there pretty good, but it’s probably worth a few anchors just in case. Good thought
How cool. I stop watching C.P. for some reason. But one of my favorite quotes Canadian Prepper "Start with a backpack and end with a homes stead." I am building a homestead now actually.
Great job. You guys made it look easy. Thanks
Awesome! Love the details! Thanks for sharing!
Great informative building ❤❤❤❤it.😊😊😊
That's an interesting point on the horizontal boards under a roof regarding moisture collecting. I have a lot of venting under my roofs where I use that technique, so I think I'm good, but i can see how in a roof with less sun exposure or less ventilation potential, I can see how that might be an issue. GREAT video!
I should clarify; horizontal “purlins” under metal are fine if they are just over trusses, and no sheeting on the roof. Then there is no where for condensation going downhill to catch. If it is a sheeted roof (like this bunkie), or I’ve seen people strap an old roof to put metal on, you will have issues of a place for condensation to get trapped. Condensation on the underside of a metal roof occurs more if the roof is poorly insulated (heat escapes to the underside of the metal and creates the condensation and frost in our extreme cold), or if an attic isn’t vented enough. In the case of the vaulted ceiling of poorly insulated roof of the bunkie, I expect condensation under both the insulation and metal. In some of the best built buildings I have seen minor condensation on the underside of metal. 👍✌️
This looks great! I could see a small cook\heat area on the main floor, and you could put in a sink, with a water bottle and battery pump. Some shelves, a couple futon chairs, and a table. This would make a great guys poker night hang out!
Haven't used a hammer stapler in a dogs age!
living in a 2000 GOLDEN FALCON 31 foot long with 12 foot slide out, we use old surplus "M1950" tent stove to heat the trailer with -30F temps in winter, burning wood lumber from a 100 year old house we tore down. only problem is when it gets to 105F at 2am when -30 outside and im flinging the doors open to cool down. i ran a home built thimble with double wall pipe through the living room crank up vent hole .!
the stoves only last 2 years burning wood but the grates burn out in just 2 so i cot off old gas grill grates.
anyone interested in buying the gasoline kits for these stoves, im your guy as i have never used them, gasoline costs money while wood is free!
Amazing you doing this Dean mad respect 👍🏻
Very interesting!
Nate has one of those camping wood stove for it
steffy's husband again, in the 1970's mother earth news magazine had an article on laying 2x4's flat to make a 3 1/2 inch wide log 1 1/2 think. very easy to build but takes a lot of nails! if you have a nail gun, its easy !
Great job
Where's the swimming pool? 😂
Cute as a weekend retreat in good weather.
Wood resistant, or R-value is 1 per inch/24.5mm.
So wall R value is 2.5.
Insulation per code in zone 8 is R19.
Esthetically apealing in its current configuration.
Double wall with insulation between, would look good on both sides and an air barrier could be added .
Again looks great.
Don't use any caulking. Instead of paint, use real wood tar. You can brush tar on, or spray it using a nozzle and empty can from under car sealer, then you get tar into all the small cracks. With one or two coats of tar it will last 50 years until you need to do it again.
Never heard of real wood tar. I’ll look into it.
It IS super cute! Very esthetic, perfect for a lovely offgrid weekend with the kids. Love the details - I've no building experience but REALLY want to learn, so THANK YOU for sharing your building experience and the protips! Great video!
Enjoyed the video. Appreciate the detailed overview and tips. I look forward to seeing what you guys do for the stove/heat setup. Still contemplating what to do in our tiny home build for backup heat during an outage.
Little wood stove is the best backup, but so hard to regulate, and time consuming to feed little sticks. ✌️
This is almost exactly like my Back Country Adventures sauna! Same idea, tongue and groove boards.
It’s SOOOooooOOOoo CaaayyyyUTE!!!
Love this - and all of your explanations!
Love the video. Extremely helpful and full of knowledge. Condense
Looks like a fun little structure to put up. Nice spot you put it too.
A candle or candles may give enough heat.😊😊😊😊
Super cute! Great building tips! I want to build one of these for each of our kids so me & my husband can have the house! ...like bedrooms...in the yard! 😉
That’s a great idea. I am thinking something similar with my boys. 👍✌️
@@ArkopiaRUclips Awesome! 😆 I love that!
Thanks for sharing the fine details of this build and putting some ideas in my head. Companies like BunkieLife are keeping the dream of homeownership alive for me, and since I don't have any experience building houses I'd only mess with the one story structures with the help of my father who is a retired carpenter. Any advice or considerations for building a Bunkie like this in a desert like environment/Arizona?
I’ve been to Phoenix in the summer. 110f at 10:00 AM makes a person not complain about minus 40C in Canada. A good air conditioner would cool that little cabin down like nothing. ✌️
Ontario building codes have changed2022 now can have 161sqft Bunkie. Vs 106.🎉
Your overlords are kind.
That looks awesome
@ arkopia, at minute 7 you say mouseproof? The house wrap?
The osb sheeting
@@ArkopiaRUclips Meh! Alberta mice are particularly fond of osb, must contain essential minerals the little buggers require. Hardware cloth with a small enough hole pattern has been used with some effectiveness. Love your channel and the work you do!
Ya. Mice are a pain. Their favourite is getting into the ICF house insulation. Hardware cloth would help for sure, or you can even buy hardware cloth with smaller squares.
Not sure I trust the loft floor system, does it feel spongy when you guys walk around up there?
Nope. Only worried about wind blowing over some days. If it was for me, I would just do a one level cabin.
so Nate has something else to sell
Always trying to provide value to people, if they want it. ✌️
How much does this model cost?
I’m not 100% sure. Not cheap. 👍
Is it nuke proof? 😂
