Off Grid Tiny Cabin- FINISHED!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2020
- The tiny off-grid cabin my husband Dave and I built is finally done! Yip yip! After finishing the shell in about 8 days, Dave let me loose on the interior to finish it all. It was a big job- but a great learning experience. I had helped him on many of our log homes and cabin in the past but I was on my own on this one. Don't let lack of experience prevent you from DOING and TRYING! You'll learn as you go- just do it! I LOVE the way it turned out and will now take a couple days off to enjoy this little gem with my feet up and fire roaring!
Hope you enjoy and are inspired to build a cabin of your own!

The lights are powered by a portable power station that can be charged by solar. We will be adding solar to this cabin in the near future. You COULD live in a cabin this size.... we lived in a 12x12 off grid cabin for 2 years- and 6 months was with a baby. We will use cots to overnight but you could do a fold down bed like my table as well. As for bathing and cooking- just add in a tiny bar sink that drains into a bucket underneath the "kitchen" shelf- or just use a bucket. Also, buy a large kettle/pot for kettle baths. We lived for 10 years without running water in cabins- hauling our water 5 gallons at a time for cooking, drinking, cleaning, and bathing. It is possible. BASIC necessities.... that's all you need to live FREE! Thanks for watching the video everyone! Now who wants to build one?
I wanna build one! So inspirational, Brooke!
Hint: you go in to be slothful, out to be busy as a beaver! And a couple of stout anchors can hold up a sleeping hammock, and covered the rest of the time...
I love the idea as a father son project in a few years (when he's a little older). I have the spot picked out on our 3 acres! Going to be saving the videos.
Me! Me! I want to build one. I love it!!!
I can totally see me doing this for my next project, thanks for the inspiration. I think our inevitable Winter is finally here to stay though, may have to wait a few months, lol.
My twenty year old daughter (after I told her about this video) said that she wished had been born in the past when you did manual labor and felt good that you accomplished important things. I sent your reply to her to show her she COULD choose to do that now. I’ll bet it would cure a lot of people’s anxiety and depression to live this way - simpler, but with a healthy set of friendships!
.
This could inspire the homeless as well . But then, they would need land ! Can people still be squatters anymore ?
Why can't she do it now?!?
Probably back in the old days she would need her husband's permission and he might now allow her. Now she can choose to do it all by herself.
We put two offices in the backyard. It is very therapeutic to tack in insulation and finishing out the insulation.
You're richer than most millionaires. Your attitude towards life and simple living is an inspiration.
Amen!
True.
Not for the poor caribou !!
You are so inspiring, love the project you did. You are so talented.
agree !
I love how you are such a low maintenance person. You don't require other people to make you happy. You are able to make happy happen. Amen, you go girl.
I am absolutely inspired watching you work. I bought a 4 acre small holding in Ireland with a couple of buildings that need a fair bit of work. Been wondering if i was crazy trying to do this on my own as it's so much work BUT your video has made me remember that I CAN do this. Thanks so much for sharing the whole process, frustrations and all. I started on your husband's channel and never in my life have I watched 3 youtube videos back to back, let alone commented and subscribed. I love your cabin, the location, build, colour and interior are all just awesome. Toasting you guys with my hot choc as I type! X
thanks and welcome and best of luck!
I love this woman's attitude. She has a love for life and work that most people simply do not have. She is an inspiration to me.
I agree 100%. I have spent countless weeks in the woods. Guess I'm always happy place. God is great.
I am so happy to see a young woman who is balanced perfectly in God's creation! You are an inspiration to young women everywhere!! Awesome attitude and your building expertise is phenomenal!!! Woot woot!!!!
I love this woman
I'm a single woman. I wanna build my own cabin for me and my dogs too. It looks easy now that I see you do it. I think my cabin will have a porch for me to sit outside and listen to nature at night.
well it's not hard but it's a lot of work but you can do it!
you can also get some kind peeps to assist
do :)
I’m a single man, need a hand?
Keep design of a cabin simple to minimize cutting, especially of outer walls. Plywood comes in 4' x 8' sheets, so dimension your structure in 4' increments. 8' x 8', 12' x 16', etc. Take care of your back. Some materials are heavy. Full sheets of plywood weigh about 100 pounds per inch of thickness. That means 0.50" thickness sheets weigh 50 pounds, and 0.75" thickness sheets weigh 75 pounds. Don't overestimate your abilities with other lumber pieces either.
Take it from someone who knows, if you hurt your back you could be permanently screwed. Shoulders too. I've had all those surgeries among other orthopedic ones and none of it's fun. Not fun to injure, and not fun to fix.
I have a trick to share with you and other DIYers about the doorway threshold. You cut the 1 by wood the width of the doorway opening. Then, do not nail it in. Instead, use two or three hinges to install it so that threshold flips outward so you sweep the dirt right out the doorway.
Come on, that's genius and it works. I used a piano hinge on mine. 👍🏻🇺🇸
After almost 2 years...my pallet cabin is 80% finished..im working on it every saturday only,
You are my inspiration mam,im proud to show you someday may cabin too,DIY and also almost recycled...thank you for inspiring me,until now i have save videos for your 1st ever cabin A type in the woods..❤thank you
You have to be the most hardworking woman I’ve ever seen!
agree.
I'll third that...
@@dhyde9207 :)
Agreed! She is such an inspiration!!
Yup!
I am an 81-year-old male who thoroughly enjoyed your video. I loved everything about it.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
I cried watching your video. It took me to a peace of mind that I've been yearning for for many years. 😎 Congratulations well done.
You are impressive. I grew up without running water or electricity. It prepared me well for the uncertain times we currently face. 🙏🏻
You're proof that a woman can do anything when she sets her mind to it. Great job, good ideas and built with love.
Have always known that!!
Every woman is proof lol

Exactly!

The world needs more people like you and your husband.
Yes!
The hollow driftwood is such a great find and centerpiece. Nature made art.
Love your cabin. So cosy. I recently stumbled across Dave's channel and watched the outside build of it. You are both an inspiration to many of us.
My great grandparents raised 7 kids in the Sierra Nevada, Alpine County valley. No indoor plumbing, no electricity, no gasoline powered generators. They all moved down to the bay area for one kid's health problems but they were all quite healthy and successful. Hard work and resourcefulness builds character and talents. Congratulations!
How could they afford to live in the bay area? Its of the most expensive areas in the united states to live....have a great day?
@@larryx1707 it was 1914 when they moved. San Francisco and Oakland were thriving cities. The east bay had fertile ranch/ farm land for cheep! My grandfather had a 3rd grade education and did quite well for his family
@@C2yourself ....wow that an amazing story, thx and happy new year ☺
@@C2yourself Thank you for sharing! What a wonderful family heritage!
I keep coming back and watching these videos, and have a tremendous amount of respect for you. You are a DO-ER, you make things happen. It is phenomenal the quality of work and attention to detail that you have. I'm a big do it yourself-er, but never tackled something like this. Much respect!
That's great that you found all sand for the outhouse. It's porus and will drain (leach) perfectly. No clay! Awesome. Great fire pit too! 👍🏻♥️🇺🇸
You say “ hillbilly carpenter “ like it’s a bad thing! You are SSSOOOOOO amazing!
agree.
I chuckled when I heard u call yourself hillbilly carpenter, if that’s hill billy style, my attempt would be likely prehistoric retro?? 😆 my son (16, wanted to ask how ur boy did the cats? What did he use to mould them etc?) & after watching this awesome video he said he needs to cut me sum slack on my time consuming “Mrs fixit” attempts at doing it myself I’ve been insisting on doing for ever! 😂 We loved your video and ur build is inspirational & I’m SO jealous. I wish we had more than a small courtyard backyard - space & a room to roam and explore! It looks like beautiful country & so nice to see it snowing while we are in middle of summer in Australia. Thanks for sharing!
Why the thumbs down this lady did her thing after the kids are off too college that’s going to be me right there !!
Thumbs -down responses are such a weird phenomenon for non-controversial, well-made videos. Are they grumpy, haters of all, passive aggressive?
right?! who could down such a hard workin gorgeous woman ! haters just gotta hate, i feel sad for them
@@vrbixby I believe I have heard that it’s automatic, like some kind of algorithm that applies thumbs down. It’s really too bad, not to mention dishonest to get unwarranted strikes!
@mickey mousey123 Exactly! Why fixate on the negative? If you like the video, that's all that matters and you don't have to worry about why somebody did something you have no control over and, really, no clue as to their reasoning,
Isn't it amazing how this sort of occupation gives you all over body work out and an amazing figure that so many are striving for?
Plus thing get done!
So much satisfaction!
What a beautiful woman and awesome couple. So strong, sweet and independent. You guys are the maker of miracles and spread the healing love to people. The strength you as a woman presented is crazy and amazing. God bless you guys, wish you enjoy happy long life in the beautiful nature!
I think anyone who speaks to animals in a baby voice has got to be a GOOD PERSON. Love what you and your husband have achieved! It's uplifting just to watch it ...
hmmm . i just want the world to burn and humans get deleted from earth ... but i still talk to my dog in a baby voice :) sorry mister

I always beg my husband to live off the grid and he finally agreed. I can’t wait to we build our first cabin, watching your videos give me life ! 😁
Daniella Campbell - really?! You’re going off grid?? All the best, good luck 🍀
i want to build this exact model in my backyard next to a trout stocked steam
I just wanna say, You Rock girl! I totally enjoyed watching you work on this build…so inspiring! The cabin looks awesome!
Would love to see Dave's reaction when he saw what you accomplished!
I just love how authentic you show yourselves. It's so rare these days on RUclips. All these professional youtubers where every second is "perfectly" cut and acted out and they barely breathe talking so fast. I way more enjoy your style (and Dave's) that's more raw and shows a great deal of heart. Please stay that way
settle down.
Pena que não se inglês.deveria dublar
it is really simple.. just unsubscribe to all those fake youtubers and click 'not interested in this channel' all the time and your feed and sub list will be filled with quality people before you know it....
you are boss of what you watch. life is too short to watch garbage
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND BRING OUT ALOT OF ENCOURAGEMENT
THAT ANYTHING POSSIBLE IF YOU PUT ALL YOUR EFFORT INTO IT!! RESULTS ARE TREMENDOUS . 🌲🏡 🐅
Y'all did a greaton the little cabin........so cozy and cute.
Wonderful space!!!! GREAT JOB💖
THANK YOU FOR SHARING 👏👏👏
A lot, and turn the CAPs off.
CHAK ZULU WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! 🤣
@@sallyruiz2338 😂😂😂😂
I watch Dave's video builds and I can definitely tell that y'all are molded into one! Things you both do and the ways you do them. Pretty awesome! I actually live in a 33ft 2 bedroom camper with my granddaughter in my brothers backyard. It is definitely an amazing adventure everyday. I have 2 small dogs. I am older now and I have quite a few health problems. My Daddy taught me how to build or fix about anything. I wish I was in better health. For now, I will kick back with my granddaughter and my little dogs and just enjoy yours and Dave's videos. I also can live off the land if I had too, without an outside potty and all. Nature and it's natural beauty is such an amazing and worth while place to be! Thank you for you and your wonderful hubby sharing your adventures. Also your beautiful animals. I sure enjoy watching, it gives me something worth while to do! Great and awesome stuff Brooke! Thanks again!
Thank you and your hubbie for sharing this series. I have a 30yr old son that has wanted to find a pc of land and put up a similar cabin. He has languished with the idea about 5yrs, not having enough faith in his self, but watching these videos was really encouraging for him. God Bless you & your family- I hope you continue to live a life that brings you happiness & love❤️
So...... you fish, you paint, you carve, you’re a mom, AND you can frame out and build en entire house? Is there ANYTHING you can’t do? And your son..... such a talented sculpturer!
. . . don't forget . . . she can edit and put together an awesome vlog too.
@@tthom2459 Definitely. Their videos are well-edited!
I pretty sure she's an awesome singer too. Guitar??? not sure play us a tune or two country of course.
Rome wasn't built in a day cause Brooke and Dave wasn't there.....that little cabin is Beautiful
Congratulations on a wonderful build. It looks fantastic and I love that little stove. With the way this crazy old world is going that things a perfect little bug out design. And great job girl in the woods for getting it across the finish line. I'm sure your husband is very proud.
Well, I ended up here after watching a video of how to build a 10 x 12 ft deck/ floor...which turned into a cabin, which turned into 3 videos in the series, which then referred to another video of the completed cabin!
Quite forgot what I 'd come here for now!
I'm 81 years old and was up in the attic, via an unusual exterior way to get there today at 8.30 am, working out a position for an inside access position for the new attic access opening inside the house.. It is another old mud brick house on 1785 Msq of land, almost half an acre, I'm renovating for 2 people..and was bought for $5,000 AUSD.
I was interested in vid 3 by your hubby...boy, did he let fly! BUT, it is true, every word he said is fact of life. "If you think you can, you will...if you think you can't, you won't."
I lost everything in 2008, again, (first time in 1992)...so I left Australia at 70 years of age in 2011, to find where I could afford start again with no bank loans...this time on aged pension, I had to get my hands dirty and dig in the dirt...so I ended up in a country where I can't speak the language, bought a half acre of land with broken down mud brick buildings on it, no loo, no running water inside it, and mice everywhere, in a tiny village, with 3 shops, buses going past many times daily, PO etc...800 people, near the Ukraine/Romanian border. But it had potential and was so very cheap, like under 10k, AUSD, so I saved my pension and bought it, no one believed it!
Here you can agree to pay people off...no interest. They agree, as these properties are hard to sell.
8 years later, am happily fixing things here and at the other place. I hire local people from the village to do brickwork, but I am the foreman on all jobs assist with the build. Today we were building a room to house my lawn mower and cement mixer etc, and was teaching the man how to put noggins in between joists to stop the beams bowing and twisting, for an attic floor, etc etc. Then with my garden lady, who comes 3 hours a week, we are building a tiki type hut down the paddock a bit, hence the hunt for how to build a floor without all the stirrups, 2 foot deep of concrete etc. 3 hours later, I am confident the first video of this cabin build your hubby did is all I need, thankyou so much.
good for you sir! very adventurous and admirable!
@@therealgirlinthewoods ...Thankyou...I'm living alone, but this girl is not in the woods! I'm a try again girl.
This lady works like a tiger and she can do almost anything. What a Blessing, you have my support.
It is beautiful.
oh yeah it’s a great video and merry Christmas 🎄
Girl, I built a 10'x30' back porch last spring and finished Jul 2. Bowed or otherwise sketchy wood was the #1 issue. Not being 64 years old, doing it solo, not the saws, ladders, 300 sf of laying a brick floor, moving rail road ties, a pile of rocky sand taller than me, nope - BOWED BOARDS!
I’m sharing your amazing accomplishments with our building’s maintenance fellow because he and his Mrs. love doing things like this together. He told me he’s ready to build a small cabin out on his dad’s land because he’s tired of hauling the hybrid camper back and forth. Thank you for sharing your time and talents. God Bless you and Dave. 🙏🏽
Love. Wat I've done I am doing the same thing on my property this fall not the same size but larger cannot wait to get started. I congrauate you
Your cabin is beautiful! And it's so sweet that you feed the birds 🐦🐦 which helps them get through winter and you get to enjoy watching them, too, with 🐕 by your side.
What a lovely life!
OMG, I thought he meant you were gonna just decorate. GURL, you putting in insulation, walls, and everythang😳. You are the G. O. A. T. Great job!
Weve been in a skoolie since 09. Best decision weve ever made for many reasons.
We put a 500 gal holding tank under our outhouse and get it sucked out every 4 or 5 years. Super easy.
Such a cozy little spot. Since I’m a Michigander I can truly appreciate that beautiful piece of land. Very zen with the beeswax candles and tea. Love wolf. I had a collie, husky, wolf back in the day..looked just like wolf. She was always out in the snow like that keepin a lookout
I’m impressed - you’re an energizer bunny who puts my lazy behind to shame! Thanks for being a get-up-and-do-it role model for this 62 year young lady 🙏
I thought the same thing!
I’m watching going: I wish I did cool stuff like this!
And by the end of the video...I’ve decided to fix up a tiny shed I have behind my house for a writing nook 😃😁
Very nice!!
Uh-huh, you got your hamic chair!! Could barely wait to see you again, Brooke. *Smart lady, wearing a mask, while puting up the insalation!! You have been busyyyyy, my goodness!!! You are so neat Brooke!! Very nicely done!!! Love the cat art your son did for you, depicting your cats, he is talented; look who he takes after!!! Thanks for taking us along for the adventure!! Do take care. (Fl.)
Yes! Thank you!
What precious gifts your son crafted for you. This cabin is truly a work of art. Blessings to you and your family, Brooke.
Thank you so much to both of you for this. Very inspiring indeed. The homeless if they had a friend with some land could do a 6 foot by 10 for like this for very little if they scrounged around for used timber etc. Then get a job, and slowly get on their feet.
Again thank you so very much. Take care of the dog, give him a hug for me. Much love John.
I'm pretty sure Dave has the coolest wife ever
bahahah i'll be sure to tell him
Yeah Dave has the best darn wife in the world. Can do attitude. Nice work nuce cabin. Tongue in groove has its challenges. I built an 8meter x 6 meter cabin and the warped, bulging, bowed tongue in groove drove me nuts.
A prophetess is without honor in her own town!
@@solsouth Board and batten is mucho better...floats and you can be very creative with.
There are a lot of country girls out there.
How many ladies are watching and really digging the at home feel! Now, I've watched a lot of men build their off grid cabins, but they just didn't look comfortable! This one does!!! Well done!
It really does!
I've watched both documentaries about this lovely tiny cabin a few times. It makes me homesick for the wilds of Canada (though I know you're in the US). It also allows me to daydream about one day... Well-done, you two.
I really love how your builds tend to have lots of outside light available. So many cabins I see on YT are lucky to have maybe one or two small windows. Such a beautiful dwelling - thanks for sharing how you did it all. 💜
I absolutely love that, "Wolf," is a beautiful Collie.
oh yeah it’s a great video and merry Christmas 🎄
I love how you decorated the inside. Its so enchanting ❤
Thank you! 😊
oh yeah it’s a great video and merry Christmas 🎄
Oh Brooke!! This has to be my very favorite of all of your builds!! It’s just magic to see you enjoying it in the snow! So very cozy at night! Love it love it love it!!!
Totally in love with this build!! The color choices are beautiful!! Just waiting for winter Cardinal to show up! ❤️🥰🏠
Being born in Mi and watching you and your husbands video really warmed my heart, I’m 81now and live in Fl. But my heart is in northern Mi. Thank you for bring joy to my day. And I agree you can do anything if you want to bad enough. Just do it!!! B Lee
Yes me too retired to Iowa but growup in Michigan. Miss the trees & lakes. But do get lots more sunshine in Iowa. 70 but would still like to live my dream of off grid.
I grew up in Minnesota but moved to West Michigan three years ago partly because of two trips we took to MI when I was a kid. I like the slightly different wildlife, the fruit farms and of course Lake Michigan.
From the Firepit to the Turkeys and Birdfeeders to the inside decorations it is simply beautiful. So cozy and winter was the perfect setting to show it off. Peaceful.
Was this cabin built on the property where you had a tent few months ago when you got the news of your brother?
@@billiegoodman4872 thank you! Happy new year!
My wife and I are so excited to finally start homesteading next year. You and your husband have been a huge inspiration, and if either of you ever find yourself in Central New York you've got friends!
Wow. I binge watched the build vids and this one. What an inspiration! I like the contrast between the white beadboard and the pine walls, too! We're planning to build a writer's cottage on our lot. Yours is a perfect size. Thanks for all the time and effort you and your husband put into these videos!
WHAT a fantastic space!!!! As an artist, (I paint), I was imagining myself sitting there with my canvas and paints, listening to the birds and watching nature unfold before me. Enjoy!!!! 😊😊😊
You'll never know you're having a GOOD day if you never have a "challenging" one. 😉
SAME!!! Art studio!
yesss
Yes, me too!
Yes me too, I want to build one next year. So I will be watching this series over and over. I would draw and paint on the fold down table in front of the window and paint that gorgeous view . Now I just have to find the right property and save more money.
O my gosh - your 15 yr old son has such talent- How beautiful- Tell him he should keep filling the world with joy just like his mom
You and your husband were our FAVORITES on Alone! I just discovered your channel, and WOW you are such a joy and inspiration ❤️
I think a little murphy bed somehow attached to the wall or the ceiling somehow would make it extra cozy.amazing job👍🙂
Michiganders are hearty people use to hard work and not afraid to get dirt on their hands. I use to do a great deal of work until I was diagnosed with asthma now I'm supervisor and designer. We restored three Victorians and built/restored three cabins in the last 20 years, one cabin was in Arizona and the other two cabins are in Michigan.
Right on
Thirty-five years ago I was graduating from U-M and looking for work in California. A executive overheard my discussing job prospects with a friend and chimed in saying: “both coasts fight over people from Michigan because we know they’ll do the work.” Your comment reminded me of something I’ve never forgotten. BTW, I stayed in Michigan and now live near here on a gorgeous lake
@@5thdimension625 ...Michiganders are a friendly sort welcome to Michigan! We restored a cabin on the lake with a nature area in our backyard for deer.
@@therealgirlinthewoods ...You work hard like I did in my mid forties. My favorite work is masonry stone walls I think of it as a puzzle.
You two are an inspiration for us all!
I watched your husbands 3x videos and thoroughly enjoyed this one too to see the finished product. Well done for seeing this through and sharing with us. I was totally blown away to see the bottle of 19Crimes as Im an Australian and didnt think anyone know of that brand. I can only imagine the time youll spend in the cottage whether its reading a books, chilling and enjoying the view, or enjoying a glass or two of 19Crimes. Thanks for sharing and enjoy 😀😀🍷🍷
I absolutely love your cabin it's so beautiful, it's hard to believe what all you can do in such a small space but it turned out amazing and looks so cozy I'd love to have a place like that to go to and relax and unwind and enjoy nature, also your dog is adorable.
This is a tiny off-grid cabin that looks inviting, all the more so because I watched you put in the insulation. The whole space, indoors and outdoors, is fantastic to see. Blessings to you, your family, and all who watch your channel.
I really appreciate you keeping the hard parts in. Like not just saying "then this part was hard" but showing the actual process. It helps when I end up in such a situation myself.
Hello Brooke. I just finished watching Radical Bushman. It's an eye opener how easy you made it look to build this cabin. Now I have a pretty good idea of what to help my Uncle build. Thank you. You guys are awesome.
Girl, I LOVE it. Well done, Brooke. And that whole vibe in the last two minutes made my day. 🙏🏼💕☺️
My favorite part is when she showed some of the struggles that went into the project. It may look like a simple job but there is a lot of unpredictable problems
and that's what makes completion of her project rewarding.
It's a tool shed...come on! Nothing sustainable in the whole thing...except the farmhouse foundation she distroyed
@@GS-kx1ys wow, you must be a joy to be around on a daily basis. Try to cheer up!
Sandy, I am just a ray of sunshine! I just have issues with off the grid people who are about 15 minutes from the Lowe's...I also have issues with sustainable people who haven't a clue about sustainable life.Not saying this place is close to "un-civilization" but so many channels on RUclips are BS. This tool shed is what we boys built as children and dismantled to build something else. No RUclips needed to chronicle the experience as none was needed.
@@GS-kx1ys I think you're just mad that this woman works harder, at her age, by herself (unless she _truly_ needs a hand) than you probably ever did. Her and her husband are out here, livin' life, doin' whatever they want on land they _paid cash for,_ and what're you doin'? You're on RUclips, tryin' to cut 'em down, 'cause you're bitter and have _nothin'._
Where's your land? Where's your lil getaway cabin? Where's your house that you built with _your own fuckin' hands?_ And if this channel is "bullshit", why are you here watching? Go somewhere else! It's absolutely free, and I gaurantee no one is holding a gun to your head, makin' you watch. And before you go on about "buh muh opinion": no one _needs_ to hear your opinion, just because you have one. Have an opinion, _quietly._ Thank you.
Be so cool if you did the back side of sloth ( like he is looking outside) on limb on inside of door
Good idea!
Love that idea!
You and your husband aren't afraid of hard work, I will give you that!
Love the cabin
!!. I could live in this myself full time but I would add a bathroom too it and of course a futon bed. The big window is a huge bonus being able to look out and see nature in all her glory.
I never expected the cabin to look that fancy it really looks fantastic. Brooke you do wonderful work. You must be the only one, I am sure God threw away the mold after he made you.
The only thing missing is a large bed that falls from the ceiling…. Or large Murphy bed. This is a must have.
I love this motivated lady. I like her attitude,skill,work pace.
I’ve watched all your videos on building this cabin, and all your other builds ❣️I love them. We built our log cabin 28 yrs ago (actually still working on it) But you’ve inspired me to build a getaway cabin myself- so I started today with just a small structure 🥰Hope to have many sleepovers with my grandkids soon🥰👍You’re my friend😂and you don’t even know me😂Keep on inspiring 👍
The girl ain't afraid of work! Damn good job!
The cabin is beautiful, congratulations
I love you and Dave so much, yall make me so happy!😅
I watched this get built. Never really saw the finished inside, thank you for showing this. It is a beautiful cozy cabin indeed. It's a shame such cabins can't be built and placed in places for the homeless or for anyone who chooses to live a more simple life. So many restrictions every where it's a wonder you can even have this on your own land. Love it, just seeing it makes me want to read a book and relax ......
This was the kind of lil cabin I dreamed of having as a kid. Just a cozy space in the wilderness to relax and get away
Not only do I love your tiny house, I love that you show us what you're doing, the issues, your resourcefulness, patience and gratitude!! Keep em coming:)
Great little cabin!!! Such creativity and happiness!!! It certainly makes a person want to build their own!!!
i just finished watching the entire build videos. you both did an amazing job, but, Brooke, I can't tell you how much I love how you finished it. I LOVE it! I adore simplicity with an emphasis on coziness and you nailed it! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
The outhouse is supposed to be near the woodpile,so when you go out,you bring back wood for the stove
I think Brooke has lots of experience in building these cabins and the logistical layout of the site,Brooke had a woodpile inside for a back up.
@@janeevans4758 I am sure,but she isn't from the south,there are rules for outhouses ,built a few myself
Haha, I'd like to hire Connie for the planning phase of my next project...
The main thing to know is the predominant wind direction, LOL.
Do you have any advice for building one?
Im just sitting here constantly saying to myself, "she knows how to do EVERYTHING!" This lady is some sort of rare species! My sisters and mom are pretty creative and workers but this gal does it ALL! I wish i knew where to find one.. 😏
not true- i've just got ambition in spades. anyone can do what i do- they just don't.
@@therealgirlinthewoods well thats actually what Im really talking about. Most ladies dont and wont do these things. Like going out in the cold snow to cut boards for a cabin. Getting up at 6 am to drive an hr to get supplies for it. I mean not just knowing how but actually wanting to and enjoying it. Its very rare these days. They all move to the cities and date a buncha loosers who dont show them this kinda life. Just love seeing you do these things with such enthusiasm. 😁
@@therealgirlinthewoods you take the praise when it’s given😇nothing seems to phase you.lots of men can’t do the things you do,I know I’m one of them😂👍🇬🇧
@@lovetofly32 if you don’t attract women of that type, look within...
Great job... Love it 👍
I was so proud of myself for caulking around my tub & then I watch this & brooks puts me to shame… you go girl
lol good job!
Excellent idea with the heatshield, the space in behind will allow for a natural convection effect to take place, keeping the heatshield itself way cooler than if it was mounted directly to the wall, and the wall itself will not get overheated either, bonus!!!
When I put in t&g that was bowed I used a piece of 2x4 and a small auto jack to get them straight, nailed in place and then removed the jack and on to the next board. Looks GREAT! Job well done!
Yep. Or nail up a block just above the bow, and use it as an anchor for a prybar. That stuff's too expensive not to use every piece. We finished the inside of our cabin with the same board.
You can also use wedges, but it's easier if you use narrower boards too 👍😊
" Frustrating day... Whooooop whipe the slate clean... " Favorite comment of the video... great attitude...
I'm in the hospital with 2 fractured vertebrae. L2 and L3 driving me crazy to get home and get busy again! I really enjoyed your videos all of them. Thanl you for entertaining me .
OMG--this is so REAL--cracked up the whole time. We too are DYIers but I am 71 now so its a wee bit more of a stretch for me to do what you are doing. LOVE it!
The view from the window... priceless !
Right absolutely breathtaking view
I'm so amazed by it all. Your son is a damn genius. Those are adorable. And you my word is there anything you cannot do? I'm so so inspired to do some more watercolors. I'm 71 and I cannot do heavy work but I am so inspired to do something fun and creative. I adore this little house.
I too loved this ! I just turned 70 and back in my youth I could have done this . I could see me doing that ! My husband was a home builder, an electrician and a jack of all trades . But I never thought about building a she-she’d ! It was more about she-said
My phone messes everything up and thinks it knows what I am trying to say and I don’t catch it before I send it about half the time ! 🤦♀️
Great to see another woman like me 😁😆 I'm always painting outside, fixing and doing. We have rain coming so I will be on the roof Friday. love having coffee early morning and then doing projects. Rock on Girl. 🤘
Loved watching all the videos on the building of your Tiny Cabin. What a great get away! What an inspiration for anyone who thinks "I can't do that!" Loved the speech too, "yes you can"!
