You are helping so many people get inspired to test their own abilities to build a home. This was outstanding and meaningful. High five!! Want to mention tip on finding materials free or low cost. Look up U Build It. There are about 6 locations in Texas. Great way to take advantage of networking to find materials free or cheap or wholesale to build yourself. They have great concept. Pass it on.

    Just stumbled across this video. I must say you did an awesome job keeping the authentic look. I am trying to get some ballpark figures on building something similar with myself doing most the work. I have always been a jack of all trades by learning from many previous past jobs. My opinion is that if you know what you are doing, you can do any job (for yourself) as good as, if not better than "so called" professionals. Reason being that you want the best for yourself and will take more time and care to do it right. For contractors it's just a job and a paycheck. Not saying that professionals don't take pride in their work, but that trait is getting scarcer by the day.
    I am thankful you weren't one of those people who refuse to share the cost of their projects. It's like it's a sin or some secret best kept to themselves. I just don't understand the purpose for that. Anyway, your video was very helpful.

    I watched all your videos they were great I loved them
    I grew up around around 1700s colonial houses and upstairs in the loft above your fireplace you would have like a small’ish size cast iron oven door but inside would just have hooks and that you need to hang and smoke your meat & cheese from the second story height.
    If you could salvage yard a woodstove door it would probably do the same thing.
    Just a suggestion if you want to maximize that fireplace and show another piece of history.

    The thing is acquiring the land is the problem, for a good price. Personally If I had my own land as long as Im surviving thats fine, housing code can literally just throw me in jail because thats what they will have to do. I see so many men do just fine in simple 12x12ish hand made wood cabins with axe and saw, the way we founded this country. Simple is better, we need more nature in our lives, bare feet on ground.

    This is a beautiful cabin and an idyllic setting. What a great way to live. It is impressive that you built this for around $10k, but you are the rare type of person who knows how to do this stuff yourself and so can provide your own labor and have the knowledge to piece together the various materials and fixtures you came across. For most people, I bet this would cost at least 20x as much.

      @@logcabinlifestyle it took me 40 years to realize a simple life is much less complicated and can still be wonderful and exciting and happy. The times we live in today are almost completely fake and people and social interaction and critical thinking are practically gone. The economy can never bounce back. My sister who is 2 yrs younger agreed with her husband years ago to never have kids because the world is becoming too scary. I think it's still possible to "let the world rage around you" and dig down and find your peaceful place in it. I was hooked on drugs much of my adult life and even when I was sober I was misguided and a total "dry drunk" basing my life off movies and TV and social media and garbage. I got to where I just can't anymore. I think social media like this can be good and help spread positivity but it's also a very dangerous thing too.

    He built it for that price because he has the skill. If I had it built by contractors it would cost $100,000+. And with any luck you would have knowledgeable & capable men. My luck there would be additional $30,000 years later repairing the improperly done!

  • @dsmonington
    @dsmonington Год назад +1

    Very cool I guess with all the luck/community/etc the more realistic cost for anyone else seems to be closer to 20-30k + labor. Still could be quite the deal for a quaint home if someone has that kind of free time and skillset though.
    If we're counting our own labor cost it's a lot pricier: 2 years at 40 hours/week and assuming 50 weeks of work per year is 100 40-hour weeks, if we value our time at $25/hour or $50/hour then the opportunity cost is that multiplied by 4000: so between $100,000 and $200,000 of our labor plus materials. Obviously adjust the assumptions to the reality of your situation, I'm just pointing out there's going to be a point where it's cheaper to pay someone else to do the labor for you.

    Unless I missed something your entire video ignores the land costs. How much land and what was the cost or was it given to you? What are the property taxes which you omitted from your monthly expenses? Also what about water and sewer? City or do you have a well and septic system? Septic systems are very expensive. If not then what are your quarterly municipality bills? Would be nice to be presented with the complete picture.
