Amazing , beautiful ... I am rly speachless you Sir done amazing and your philosophy and way of thinking is just refreshing and beautiful in this day and age. I was thinking people like you don't exist anymore. Beautiful, sry my English isn't good enough to express all I wish to say. Congratulation on your beautiful home and community.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Your English might not be good but I sure heard what you said. My heart is full!
Brilliant. Kudos.
I love to see stuff like this. Just lost my job 4 months ago and have been drifting until recently. If nothing else it is a perfect time to pick up a project like this 😅
Props to the farmer who sold him all the trees for the roof & floor for $500... you, sir, are a saint and pillar of your community. Don't feel guilty, feel proud.
I agree!! He’s a good man. ❤️
In Ohio. You can buy a semi truck load of logs for 300$ the farmer fked him
I like the no car payments, no credit cards, no mortgage 👍
my cousin's had their 2k square foot cabin built by local amish for about $50k. biggest cabin i have ever seen. solid. well insulated. absolutely beautiful.. makes modern houses look like a cheap scam.
So what place am I moving to? I want the Amish to build me a cabin for 50k. Not even kidding.
@@guitardizzle1 I have Iowan farmers in my family who built a house on their property with the amish. Though they made a more modern looking house and had them do the carpentry side of things.
But I believe they are all over the midwest and parts of the East
Northeast Ohio western Pa
Modern houses (at least in the US) are a cheap scam.

I thought I was just going to see a guy build a log house under 10K but got so much more. the lesson on living debt free is worth it all. Great job on the home.
Col. John Boyd said: There are two ways to be free: You can have all the money or you can have none. If you have none, nobody can take anything away from you and you will be truly free.
Very very well put
@@logcabinlifestyle I would like to have the floor plan
There really isn’t any. I just built it from a vision in my head
You can have all the money, or you can have all the time.
Yes, but to get the money you have to sell your time.
I envy this guy's genuine realness, due diligence, tasteful eye for craftsmanship, abilities to innovate, mad cooking skills, he's a working man not some showboat RUclipsr. I would bet that he is out fishing, distilling booze, making some sauerkraut, and plotting the garden while we are sitting on our asses, thinking well, the sink isn't high enough, should have used slate for the fireplace, umm, make the cabin 20 inches wider, buy a nicer microphone, wine cellar, kombucha darkroom setup.
This is what we need to be doing for ourselves, the basics.
Mark, I agree with all you've stated, especially my sink not being high enough.
Thanks Mark!!
@@logcabinlifestyle Hi, new subscriber here! This video is the 1st one of yours I've watched. It says from 9 months ago. Out of curiosity, has your electric and gas bill went up at all like most of us these last few months? Loving your content! Thank you
No, mine has stayed about the same
Speak for yourself sheeple, I'm my own MASTER. Self Empowered 😉, Self Sufficient and really it's all about Self Preservation at this point of the Controlled Demolition of freedoms and society, stay ASHEEP 😴😷🐑 or...
Absolutely a stunning cabin. It looks like it's 150 years old, you've created a place of peace and solitude. Well done, you should be VERY PROUD of your accomplishment. Best of luck!
Thank you!
I admire and respect anyone who is frugal, recycles, repurposes and restores things.
Even though you live in your own home, that you built with your own hands, I love that you still have meals with your mom and siblings. I love that you are connected to your community.
I love that your mom made you a quilt out of your old shirts! To me you are showing Gods purpose and love by what you have shared. Work hard & smart, stay humble and stay connected to family. Blessings to you, your family & community all ways.
I was house shopping last year and what I found is that nobody has built “homes” in the US in decades it seems. The biggest problem is that people were somehow sold this notion of having all this space for “entertaining guests” so everything became bloated.
Love this style returning to essentials!
Nevermind those two car garages are standard.. I love the old houses I see still around from the 30's or such, where they're small squarish 1.5 story places. Easily under 1k square feet, just two bedrooms and one bathroom, some kitchen dining room right near the front door.
What a lovely home and life ❤️!
I bought a small old RV for 5k and plan on getting some cheap land and building a garage around it. I've been living in the RV full time for 6 months now and I've never been happier. I don't feel the need to fill a big empty space and the nature I'm now surrounded by is more than enough to keep me happy ❤️.
Awesome. That’s living the cabin lifestyle! Find what fills your soul and live it. My twin brother lives at a camp sight in a camper. He is just as happy as I am. That is the American dream! Blessings to you my friend
There are so many "somebody I know gave me this or sold it to me really cheaply" pieces of this project. It shows the value of being well plugged into your local community. I think a lot of people use money to substitute for those kinds of connections that were essential to survival for people of lower means in previous generations.
I don't live off grid. I live cheap. MY MAN!
It’s very good advice. Living entirely ‘off grid’ isn’t necessary but to simply _reduce_ one’s reliance on the commerce of the wider world, to hone one’s self-reliance skill and save the ol’ dough-ray-me, makes eminent sense.

I live in a 1.5M dollar house in the LA area, and I’d live in this cabin in a heartbeat. It’s beautiful man…you did an incredible job.
Not sure I could handle rural Ohio, but just seeing what you built is inspiration.
Thank you very much. See, this means a lot to me!
Thank you my friend
I would never dream of living in a 1.5 M dollar house. That'll destroy my precious peace of mind that I experience from frugal life. I know some of my tennis buddies who live a flashy lifestyle they are more insecure than anybody else I know. Simple life is the key to real happiness.
You would be surprised how lovely that part of the world is. People are REAL, they know "community" , and that social capital is CRITICAL to most folks mental health, even if they dont realize it.
@@andykumar41031.5 million dollars for a home in Los Angeles is not flashy… it’s normal. A regular home.
Beautiful cabin. I bought a 100 year old fixer back in 2017. Not off grid but have my own well. My bills are less than $300 that includes my internet and phone. A lot of hard work but the simple life is the way to go! Beautiful cabin you have there!!
Absolutely beautiful , you really lucked out finding that old log home to buy. Alot of the rich people are buying up those old log cabins and barns and turning them into million dollar homes. They aren't leaving any of those old homes or cabins for us regular folks to buy an try an do what you did. Fantastic job.
Yep. Exactly what I just thought and commented myself. Amazing huh? 😂 smdh
Yeah the secret to it all, most people pay in the 10's of thousands for land, permits, & the skeleton of an old home. Especially the first two
If he grew up there (I think he did) most are not "money hungry" and would rather keep those things in the community than sell them to highest bidder. I broker and sell reclaimed lumber. I know the game well. I can't tell ypu how many times I try to convince folks to NOT sell off their homestead/farms history.
Excuses. It's wood mate. If you want to build a log cabin. Stop complaining and build it yourself. People did it hundreds of years ago - you can do it now.
Incredible. This is my dream home. We are house hunting and all the homes are so large...I sure wish they made them small and simple so they could be more affordable. Love this!
Thanks Kelly and good luck finding a home of your dreams!!
let me guess, your a strong independent woman but want a man to build this for you....GET OUT OF HERE
We had a family friend who contributed like you do to the community. He was very passionate about goldmining and the history. He taught many children in character how to pan and about the different gems, mining equipment. He taught them about how people lived back then, the hard work etc. We lost him to cancer two years ago suddenly. He truly is missed.
Mary what town did your friend teach in? That's an amazing story!! Im sorry for his passing. I hope someone can try to do what he was so passionate about. I love mining.
@@creeksidechris3384 Ramona, California
Pleased to meet you! I love your adventurous project, your community participation, and family life! 🥰
I love your cabin. It is exactly what I am looking for. I am 76, live in Maine (it’s expensive here) and desire to go very simple with just my needs, no fluff! Well done!
I absolute LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your home! Everything so tastefully done. I can't imagine the sense of accomplishment you must feel. May your home be a constant sanctuary and place of repose. God bless!
Thank you for the kind comment🙏
This proves that if you’re a hard worker, you giveback to your community and you think a bit outside of the box - the community will take care of you and you will shine bright.
Well done. Thank you for sharing.
👏
Lovely quilt from your Mother... What a peaceful place. Thanks for sharing.
Love the cabin. Was starting to get concerned about your cat coming down the ladder. Wasn't sure if it would make it, but it decided to stay up in the loft. Absolutely inspirational.
He’s always trying to steal my show. He jumped from roof to roof the other day when I was filming but it was just off frame. He jumps down from the loft onto the couch. All is good unless I’m napping on the couch then it’s like, what was that!!
Very cool! What we need most is finding what makes us happy so we can be good community members.
Just seen this sub as I was checking my notification.
I built my modern home for under $4,800.00 in 2008. That should be a castle
Hi Mr. Tyson,
Very cool cabin. I wish more people did what you have done. That's what living is all about not having the biggest house or the fastest car but actually living life. I really liked the Johnny Appleseed story. Anytime you have a chance to make a child happy you're living a good life. Great job!
Thank you my friend! Sorry for the late response!
Howdy Brother- you did really good with keeping your cost down. I know where you’re coming from on living very frugal when building. We did the same thing and I literally worked 100 hours a week for fourteen months to build our house. You’re to be admired for what you have accomplished there. Looks great. God bless
Howdy brother! Thank you. I honestly had no idea what I was getting into when I built this place. Would not have traded it for anything though
@@logcabinlifestyle It’s an experience you will never forget because living it became a reality. Blessings
Impressive! Quite an accomplishment. Your local historic society should offer to give tours. Smile, stand tall and be proud of an amazing feat! So thankful I been following your journey from the beginning. It’s been an honor!
That's incredible, not only the ability to find the materials but the discipline to complete the project and make such a beautiful home; I'm certain you're a valuable member of that community. Thank you for uploading the video and best of luck!
Absolutely beautiful and truly appreciate your generosity of spirit and kindness. When I was growing up my Dad was given a house for the labor of him tearing it down and then he used it to finish framing up our house. The picture window in the living room was from the house he repurposed. I love your cabin! NE Kentucky is where I grew up and totally loved how people help people in small town’s.
Thank you Jerry for another blessing. After Covid people are beginning to realise that life is so much more than possessions. Real joy is found in caring for and helping other people. That's what really makes us rich. It's amazing just how little we need to be comfortable. I think you have shown this in your own lifestyle. Looking forward to seeing the loft completed. Every blessing. Terry, U.K.
Your welcome and thank you my brother!
@@logcabinlifestyle what are the dimensions? I love the layout
It’s 36’x18’ with an 8’x36’ front porch
Your cabin is absolutely beautiful! I love it!
This man is a modern prepper, he takes advantage of the knowledgeable advances made today and also takes advantage of the late knowledgeable advances from years ago. If things go sour, this is the guy who can help you, if you are willing to put in the time and money and what ever he asks you to do. That town has a gem in the rough.
Aww, thank you!! I do believe I will be just fine.
Love this home! I think people are finally realizing that you don’t need these big houses and the cost that comes with them. You should build these for people. We need someone that can keep cost low so you don’t have to work forever to pay it off.
That's incredible you got everything you need for this for so cheap!!! I've been piecing together the things i need to build a cabin in the woods for years now and I rarely find deals anywhere near that cheap. Congratulations! Your home is beautiful
Thanks Chris!
Your craftsmanship is excellent!
Thank you!
I absolutely LOVE your cabin!
I've bought and renovated many houses in my time, doing most of the labor myself, but never built one from the ground up.
That will be my next project and videos like yours give me the inspiration to make it a reality.
Well done, sir!
You didn't mention it, but the sound of rain on your metal roof must be amazing. I'm definitely going with a metal roof. Relatively easy to install and an oh-so-soothing sound!
Thank you sir!! Yes, love to listen to the rain on the metal roof
Wow, as soon as he sat down and showed the area he lives in, it's 30 minutes from where I grew up on a dairy farm in Carrollton. Awesome cabin.
Bingo!
First want to compliment your accomplishment. What a great build! Love it when you look the building industry in the eye and say “see there” “this can be done cost efficiently for a wonderful home”. 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.
I would love to live in a community like this where everyone comes together. This is beautiful, at 32, I think I’m gettin an idea of what I want now.
I’m impressed with any craftsman who can build like this. He had so much planning to do and that takes a lot of mental endurance. I am in awe.
I learn more from him than any church in America. What a great guy.
I love everything about this, what you did and taking us on the journey.
Thank you!
I love your primitive cabin. I think if you can't find a primitive cabin, you can do some things that look primitive and use old rail road ties and such. But you do have an edge of being strong to build it. Plus it really looks like you knew what you were doing too. Really excellent looking to me. I think it is great what you've done. Also I like the way you decorated, makes it even cozier. Great video 🙂
You living the dream brother..good job
I watched this video when it came out then came back again today, still just as good and entertaining. Amazing work sir 👍
Thank you my friend
You did a great job on that cabin. It's beautiful. I'd love to live in a cabin like that
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.
It’s hard but not
This is true, once you understand the time you understand the build. I have no knowledge of building a cabin. Let’s be honest who does. It’s just the matter of saying “I can”.
I just have one word. WOW!!! I just watched the video on the big screen. Absolutely beautiful!!!! The kicker for me, the fireplace, love it!! Thank you Johnny Appleseed for sharing. God Bless.
Your very welcome. Thanksgiving video drops Wednesday night or Thursday morning. And thank you
@@logcabinlifestyle At some point I'm going to try that poor man's pizza!!
I’m impressed you built the house by yourself on the grid, but you definitely had more than just a little help to put up all that lumber, I almost broke my back doing a 2x8 beam that only spanned about 12’ your lumber is heavier than that so you had a lot to help for that
Good for you!!! God be with you.
Cabin is amazing, love your fireplace & mom's quilt... I couldn't take my eyes off your cat up in your loft 😂😂😂
Thank you so much!
I admire you, these days families need to stick close together. Blessings
Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. I am very impressed with the look of it, with the way you built it and the antiques you have displayed! So creative and very inspiring to do a project as amazing as this one!
Authenticity, and a heart of gold. Thank you for inspiring us!
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.
Thanks Lee! I think just like you do. Even myself, if I’m working for myself I will work harder and longer. I don’t think I could do this project for someone else because it would cost them way too much
The blanket is the most priceless thing I’ve seen in the video yet
I’m so grateful I was guided to your page
This video and your energy is lovely
Angels be with you Mr Appleseed
Thank you so very much. Your right on all accounts!
@@logcabinlifestyle And I love the idea that your mother saved all of your clothes all of these years.
I love your enthusiasm and selflessness for the community and family nature of our society. You’re a wholesome man.
Great job!
I'm looking to do the same thing but only in an offgrid setting, however finding the appropriate piece of property has been challenging to say the least
Do what they did then. Hire a good contractor, INVEST and BUILD it yourself.
@@rockabye_baby187 I have every intention of building myself, finding the right property is the hurdle I'm facing, I'm looking for a specific size and it must have a good split of mature hardwood and soft wood trees on it, also a water table thats not 400' ft. Down
J'aimerais bien avoir la même maison 👍 bon boulot et magnifique résultats bravo 😉
This is a great man so talented and he has a cat!
I live in Lisbon too, I never would have thought the Jerry Tyson would have a thriving youtube channel here in our town. But you do such incredible work out of anybody here, I'm glad to see this video pass a million views
Thank you my friend!! Crazy right!!
Really nice place you built there. Love that your mom made the covering out of your old clothes.. Very cool!.... Question. Did you have to worry about any building codes? Did you have any previous building experience?
No building codes. And not really. I am a chimney sweep and I’ve laid lots and lots of brick and block. But I’m not a carpenter., but I’ve always picked up things easily.
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.
Oh, I love this idea. I would have never thought of that and I may just use that idea. Thanks.
This is such a beautiful build. What a rich life you are living, my friend. I'm in awe, and truly impressed by all your wonderful hard work and love you poured into your home.
-Elaine
This is incredible! I appreciate the fact that you're not completely isolated & off grid. I respect people who choose to do that. But I think that would be too much for me. This is perfect!
Jerry your cabin looks awesome. I noticed that the exterior walls have windows placed so that the walls do not need very long continuous logs. Also on the fireplace side it breaks up the span for the logs needed. I suppose this made handling the logs a bit easier. How did you manage the very long logs when they were needed to be placed. Thankyou for sharing your very special home
Yes, all of those things played in. Also the cabin was in such bad shape I had to build according to what I had. Pushing the fireplace out meant I didn’t need long logs on that side. I had a little help from time to time from family. One day 6 of us set some of the long ones. The really big stuff I used scaffold and a block and tackle
@@logcabinlifestyle Thanks for responding Jerry. I was just wondering other than being joined at the corners are the logs connected to each other by any other means such as vertical screws or long bolts
Only at the top. I put a large piece of all thread down through three logs at the place where the beam makes up the loft floor.
Awesome Jerry! Did you use a website to find the log cabin? I have a small concrete block building in my backyard that I want to attach logs to. I'm trying to find the best source to do that. Your journey is extremely inspiring. Skip McCain
Thanks Skip. No I didn’t use a website. I wrote a story about how it all happened. I’ll share it on here some day. It was called “The Painter”, and the another call “The pieces”. See I wasn’t rebuilding a cabin, I was rebuilding my life. P.s. Facebook marketplace is a good place to look for logs. I wish you the best
@@logcabinlifestyle Thanks for your response Jerry. I look forward to hearing your story. Skip
EXCELLENT all capital letters!!!!!!!! And what a wonderful addition to your community. I bet it will be considered a landmark and part of the town history a hundred years from now. Gave you a thumbs up.
Thank you my friend!
Hi from the U.K. this must be one of the most well designed cabins I’ve seen anywhere, love you’re lean to porch well done sir
Thank you my friend!
There's those of us that talk about living simply and there's those that actually do it! You're out there doing it for real!
What an encouraging video, God bless you! Continue to shine your light!!
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!
Absolutely beautiful home you built there. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful home and beautiful sentiment. Yes! When I have up dreams of a huge lucury house and moving to a big city (I did move but I came back to my small hometown where I grew up) and Armani suits and things... I found freedom. I love being in my small north Georgia hometown. A slower, simpler life. I can breathe. I found my faith. I became a better father. All because i decided simple living was the way to go. I am happy. Seems we have a lot in common. I love this.
Beautiful Cabin. Cozy. I tell its filled with Love. Your Cat is so cute. God Bless you sir.
A man who knows quality when he sees it, and understands what is really important in life. I love that you see your mother regularly--you will never regret that time spent.
Great work!! Jerry. I hope you have all the good things happen to you during the days living in the log cabin you have built!
Thank you!
You’re truly an inspiration. I hope someday I can build my own cabin and give as much back to my community as you do. Thank you for sharing
Absolutely lovely! Man, would it be fun to decorate for fall and Christmas! Great job of mixing art and talent with frugality!
It's really great to see people reusing materials, especially with lumber prices being what they are.
Seemingly a simple video about a cabin but in real it is soo deep and full of life wisdoms. Thanks for that man ❤
Thank you and your welcome. God has his own ways for speaking to those who want to listen.
So inspirational. Thank you for sharing Jerry !!
my brother is a master Carpender and contractor. me and him, my wife and a couple of friends built our 750inside square ft. cabin. i love it!
You had a vision.. and this cabin is the fruits of your labor...simply warm and cozy..beautifully executed !!! Enjoy your home !!
All of this 100% spot on. Thank you
Awesome that someone local is into this life style, and is wanting to put it on the Internet. Thanks for that. I'm friends with the former local carpet guy who also built his own older home.
That’s awesome, i’m thinking Dorrance? Across from the barbershop?
you seem like a very genuine and kind person. Keep it up, sir! Followed!!
I appreciate that!
This was so cool to watch, i really admire your ability to live this way!
I am amazed at what you have created! Great job!
Beautiful Job!!!! My wife and I are hoping to move to Vermont and do something similar to yours. Thank you for being frugal and real. Loveing it from Oak Hsrbor, Ohio.
love it and love to see people like you are still around
Loved this. By the way Johnny Appleseed visiting my kindergarten class in 95 is one of my favorite memories from school
That’s awesome. I visit our school every year as well.
Being patient, resourceful, disciplined and handy you have built a dream. Amazing!
Thank you!
This is awesome brother. So envious!!! My plan is to do this very soon !!
It looks like I stepped back in time, amazingly beautiful! my dream...love the quilt your mama made for you!
I love your cabin! My wife and I have always wanted a log home. Some of the things we have done to renovate our current home is what the folks now days call rustic.
Really shows you that if you integrate yourself into a small community they will support you and welcome you.
Truly amazing and beautiful cabin. You should be very proud. Ty for sharing!
That little remark about not making money and not being able to spend money goes for everyone. Lol! With that said, your Log Home is beautiful, and I'm envious of it. Would love to be able to have one myself.
Man this place is awesome! I watch a lot of off grid cabin channels and this cabin is just special!
Thank you!
