An Original Off Grid Cabin | Ep. 6 | It's Getting Cold, Stove Almost Ready
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Finished front porch roof and then moved inside to work on getting the wall, rafters and ceiling all tied together. Made some shutters for windows. Moved stove into place but lacked about a foot of pipe so that will have to wait for next time.

You know you are enjoying the video when all of of sudden its ending and you are wondering where you were all this time. Your build is so aesthetically pleasing it almost evokes an ASMR experience.The placement of the boards to cover the gaps is seamless and of course, the shutters are a very creative touch. Its just so beautiful!!! Great job my friend.
well said !
Thanks again for the comment Billy.. This type of feedback helps me with editing future videos. Glad you enjoyed it.
Take care!
I can't tell you how many times I pictured my own cabin with a partial stone front with the remainder being hewn logs. Your cabin is sweet! I imagine mine being much larger, but with that comes a great deal of work, energy & supplies. With the cost of materials skyrocketing, it's nice to be able to use elements from the land, but there are still a lot of things that need to be store-bought such as nails, hardware, plywood, insulation, roofing, etc. etc. A lot needs to be considered in building your own home, starting with buying the land. It's a nice dream if you can swing it! Until that time, I'll be content watching others build their dream cabin on youtube!
Haha…that’s how I started to and ended up taking the plunge and building my own. Thanks for watching!
Have watched numerous video series on building/maintaining an off-grid location. NONE of them capture/inspire my attention & imagination like yours. Love it. Keep it coming!!
Thanks for the comment. I’ve got a lot more planned. One project at a time. Take care!
Another excellent video. Shutters not only look great but will be very functional. Looking beautiful.
Thanks. I hope so. They should help insulate the windows a bit.
A true craftsman….looking good!
Thanks!!
Super schönes Video, Waldhaus, Arbeit und die herrliche Landschaft, perfekt 👌👌👌👍👏👏👏
Thanks for the comment! Take care!👍👍
Nice job - it gets more and more form and shape! Congrats and I hope you'll get the stove running, before it's really deep winter ...! Greetings from Germany from the silver fox, David 😉🦊
Hope to have doors installed and wood stove running this week. It got cold this past weekend in Tennessee but warmed back up a bit this week. Thanks for watching and take care!
@@TheOffGridExperience, same here about the weather!
Excited to see the final outcome. So far your cabin is one of the top 3 I saw here in YT.
Wow, thanks. I'm looking forward to the final outcome as well. I have a picture of it in my head and hope I can replicate it.
Thanks again for watching!
Your cabin is really looking great. I can't wait to see the next video
Thanks for the comment. I should hopefully have the front door and barn doors installed along with wood stove in next one.
Take care!
Wonderful build. Good stuff. Well produced.
Thanks for the comment. Editing is tougher than building. Take care!
Hello your shutters are beautiful 👌, and your wall with stones too. 😉🙏
Thanks. I like how the shutters came out. Wasn't quite sure what to expect when I was building them.
Take care!
You are simply the BEST I’ve seen. Love your details! ❤
Wow, thanks for the comment! Much appreciated. Take care!
Nice to see the progress you've made.
Thanks again!
Great video...excellent music!
Thanks. Glad you like the music!
Love the inside shutters, don't fore get your flashing on your porch roof wish I was 20yrs younger we could compare cabins LOL
Yes, that's on my list of loose ends to tie up. That list seems to get longer by the day...lol.
Take care!
The shudders are a nice touch, looking great!
Thank you!
Wow that's just beautiful Rosa
Thanks again for watching!
Shutters looks good!
Thank you!
Loved it! Great work!
Thanks! 👍
As Billy said I'm really enjoying it. It's really taking shape. Just waiting to see the doors go in. I've never quite seen one Built This Way. It is structurally sound. All I can say is wow. I wish I had the knowledge you do I would have built one better than I did. But I suppose I could always tear mine down and build a new one. Except for the price of wood now hahaha. You take care now, have a nice Thanksgiving. Bless you
Thanks for the comment! Doors should be going in this week h Looking forward to getting it dried in (almost) and the wood stove cranked up.
Wood is still expensive. About double what I paid back in summer 2021.
Take care!
That’s just nuts how good that looks..
Haha...thanks!
looking good bud keep at it
Thanks. Will do! 👍
👍WOW, I mean WOW. A wood burning-heat source stove in the middle of two windows; where it belongs. So many other channels install in a corner next to the exterior doorway.
1) in the corner, ruins the space. Which is at a premium.
2) next to the door, let's the heat out.
Thanks. I hope it works as planned. I have yet to fire it up. Finishing the doors and then going to try the stove out. Should be in next video. Take care!
Nice cabin!😁
It's getting there...slowly but surely. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic work!
Thanks! 👍
Love this build!
Thanks for watching! Take care.
do you build for a living....you do great work! the more I watch the more I can't do ! lol ready for the next one...
I wish! Maybe someday I'll quit my day job and do this full time...haha. Thanks again for the comment Randall!
Me encanta esa cabaña.
Thanks!
Outstanding!!
Thanks for watching!
I’ll bet the liquid nails company loves your cabin design.
Haha...probably.
I'm really enjoying the build. I'm in east Tennessee so hi neighbor!
Good to hear from another Tennessean. Thanks for watching!
Todo muy bonito
Thanks! 👍👍
Wow. Nice
Thanks! 👍
cabin is looking good, idk if you have done it and aren't showing it, but all the char on your wood will be gone in a year if you don't oil it. at least outside and the floor. i learned this the hard way.
Thanks. I'm going to give it one more good burn before chinking it. I may look into a coating of some kind although I think the overhangs and all the trees preventing UV from hitting it will help.
🤩🤩🤩
Great job on ye cabin.
Thanks!! 👍👍
I like how you used Conventional lumber to build your logs. My question is to you how much did you spend on building logs like that opposed to having 4 x 8 logs milled.
I'm going to do a total cost video sometime soon. This method was cheaper than having logs milled. Also, the terrain had a little bit of say as well. Hauling heavy logs up and down hills over a creek would be tough.
Thanks for watching!
I’m looking forward to the total cost video. Doing a good job. It looks great. Keep making videos.
Subscribed, liking and sharing!! Please... What is the light power source and string light situation you have going on there. Starting my off grid build as we speak.
Thanks for subscribing and sharing. Really appreciate it. I got the lights off Amazon. They are triple pendant corded lights 22.5ft. I think they were $28.
Take care!
I have been hooked on your episodes, are you a carpenter by trade? If not where did you learn to do all of that work. How big is that property that you own and do you have the main house nearby? Keep on doing what you do, it makes me want to sell my house and build a cabin like yours out here in Idaho. 👍
I'm not a carpenter but like to work with lumber. I'm just learning as I go. I've got close to 30 acres and my main house isn't too far away so it helps.
Take care in Idaho!
Hello, I realy love your videos and the your great job, so i have questions, why the Shutters are inside and why do it now, before the doors for example ? hope next video quickly. see you from France ! 👍
I'm actually going to do the front door amd barn doors in the next video...hopefully. It's getting cold enough now where it's time to get fully dried in and secure.
Thanks for watching!
@@TheOffGridExperience my pleasure!
Nice work. It is killing me that you didn’t brush with water the meticulous stone work you did to clean off the excess mortar and show the beautiful stone beneath. Maybe you do it in a later video.
I used the sponge to clean off the stone as best I could. There's a little bit of film left on the stone but not too bad. I thought about sealing the stone but I don't like shiny.
Take care!
Where did you find the info on that type of construction or is it something you came up with? I’m thinking of building a workshop that way. Enjoying your channel and your build.
I read about it online and just figured it out as I went. It's worked out really well especially since this has been a complete solo build.
Thanks for watching!
Take care!
❤😊❤😊❤
Thanks! 👍👍
Music is awesome! What is it?
Thanks. Hunter Quinn is the artist.
👍👍
👍
@@TheOffGridExperience bạn quê ở đâu??
Where are you from??
And what is your name?
@@songohanoi4640 My name is Jamie and I live in the state of Tennessee in the USA. Thanks for watching!
Very cool build, inspiring. What dimensions are the actual tongue and grooves? Also, do you glue the courses together?
Thanks for watching! The boards are 2x8 with a 2” tongue. The 3 boards are glued and screwed together.
@@TheOffGridExperience Fab. I've watched all the vids so far. My biggest thoughts so far: Do you ever make mistakes? Do you have Spiderman suction cups on your hands and feet? Do you ever eat vegetables? Great work!
I'm new to your vlog. Well done with the wooden shutter. It is very good to retain heat during cold days. And whilst away from home.
Is the window glass double glazing?
Thanks for watching. The windows are cheap single pane/single glazed ones I bought. The shutters will help.
Take care!
@@TheOffGridExperience ah well this is not your permanent residence. So single pane will be ok. Plus no restrictions on wood burner or diesel generator.
That should be fine..👍👍
Best wishes
Where will the hot air escape that you don't have soffit vents or a ridge vent?
There is a vent above the ridge beam that should work nicely.
Why did you burn the wood? You could have gotten a very similar aged look with Lifetime wood preservative. Was there some practical reason for burning the wood?
I try to avoid using stains and chemicals when possible. Burning the wood provides a lot of the same benefits, plus I like the look.
Thanks for watching 👍
❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼🙂
How did you vent your roof since you just close/connected the walls to ceiling?
Above the main roof ridge beam is a vent. Thanks for watching!
Are you setting your cordless screwdriver on top of your stove? It must not be hot.
Haha...yes. I didn't have the stove going that day or I wouldn't have a drill to use.
Thanks for watching!
Jackery 300?
240.
I dont understand indoor shutters?
Must be a southern thing. Lots of homes in the south have plantation shutters....
FYI please all, do NOT use the back side of an ax as a sledge hammer, it is dangerous
Using an axe in general is dangerous and should only be used by those who have a comfort level with the tool. The butt end of an axe can be used as a hammer.
@@TheOffGridExperience Not always.... slight general statement!
Someone please explain.
Вообще-то СТАВНИ закрывающие окна СТАВЯТ на УЛИЦЕ, а НЕ внутри дома! Внутри дома вешают ЗАНОВЕСКИ или ЖАЛЮЗИ!!
My cabin has both! Take care.
With all do respect, this collection of videos should be used as a tool on what NOT to do.
- Why use all 2” x 8” or 10” construction, bizarre?
- What is the “R” value of anything?
- How long do you think that foundation will last?
Let’s come back in 5 or 10 years and look at this monstrosity, see how it is holding up. There are so many great RUclips videos to watch with real craftsmen, why watch this hack job.
With all do respect, the US Forestry service posted a video of this construction method for a tornado shelter so I'm going to go out on a limb and say this cabin will be here long after you or I are gone from this earth.
Thanks for watching all the videos!!
Stumbled across your channel. I subscribed. I've been watching for last couple of hours. Excellent work. You are a fine craftsman!
Glad you found. Thanks for subscribing! New video should be out Monday. Take care!
