Would of totally insulated the floor joists first before vapor barrier and decking... But good job 👍
U should have cement pillars for cabin so won't rot
It’s gorgeous. And even more impressive that you built it in only 23 minutes. Wow!
thank you....Jen is a worker Bee
I'm guessing more like 1 year
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And without talking. That's quite the feat.
Breaks included?
A perfect example of strength, determination, and desire. It looks amazing. You folks did a great job 👏
Hey Bob.....thank you for your kind words, they help keep us motivated so thank you.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen I truly love watching people that are creative and on a budget make things that are amazing.
The quality of that roof is more than the one on my very expensive house. Which my wife could help me like that. Way to go girl.
Thanks Karl. Best wishes
"No talking, just doing!" Way to get down to business. Beautiful build.
thank you
Agreed. Uk here, hard to build on "green belt" our country is so small. Regulations prevent self build in many situations. I dream to do this.
@@martinburrows6844 it's a big country and loads of space but very much controlled and ruled to make you believe there's no space left, only 12% is built on and massive population is rammed in which makes it feel very crowded..
I loved how safe you made the fireplaces surrounding. The amazing pitched roof. The live edge boards and how the house is positioned. Says alot when a couple works together as a team to achieve something amazing and homely. Well done and thanks for sharing.
So Glad you enjoyed it KC.....glad you are here as well. Best wishes
I can’t believe I watched 23 minutes of this but I couldn’t stop. Truly a blessing and talent when someone can build their own home.
Thank you.....glad you enjoyed it. 😉
23 minutes isn’t so long
Congratulations. Living your viewers dreams.
😊😊😊 thanks for joining us Big HX
Great time lapse, felt your pain while you did the roof, we went 12 10 pitch with ours….hardest part of our build. Love the live edge siding….nice cabin Jay and Jen
Thanks Mark......Totally agree with you....our is 10/12ish too, lol. I almost gave up and tried to find someone to do it. thanks for joining us
Love the cabin. Wish I had your knowledge and skills to build a cabin of my own like that! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy, but I'm a simple guy.....just winging it from what I learned by watching others. Build something little and work your way up....you can do it.
I started with Lego
Woodglut has very good designs and plans.
Nothing better than living in the nature. You and your wife hard working good peoples!
Thank you Frank, appreciate your kind words. Best wishes
Great job guys. Y’all have came a long way in such a short time. Truly living the dream!!
Thanks so much!!
I became so emotional from the love and hard working team 💙 ❤ that built this beautiful home . It's sure to be a legacy stamp for their family throughout time .
You are too kind. Thank you
All I can say is "Wow"! Amazing cabin, amazing view, amazing memories. Congrats!
Thanks Jason....glad you're here. Best wishes
Hopefully this video really makes your channel hit some big numbers. This is what YT is all about sharing new ideas and life experiences.
Thank you K, lots of hard work building a cabin and a channel....appreciate your support my friend
20:33 -- best shot ever! Love that dog! You built a beautiful cabin in a beautiful spot. Hope you have years of enjoyment together.
Thank you so much
Paint stick spatula!!! Seriously, this is the best "lets go build a cabin in the woods" cabin I've ever seen. Love the irregular wood front.
Making it work.....lol, appreciate ya
@@OffgridwithJayandJen yup, gotta love it......don't need no stinkin' spatula, real carpenter uses a shim, yes sir
FANTASTIC JOB !!!!! YOU BOTH SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOUR WORK AND ACCOMPLISMENTS.
Thanks Bob
I love history and this cabin reminds me of a settler's cabin one might find in 18th century America. What a great build and design. Well done.
Thank you very much!
What a great build. Your not an amateur builder by no means. Love your dogs their beautiful. You wife works right beside you. She works hard. This was a fantastic video. I can’t wait to see more!
Hey, thanks Nancy.....appreciate the Kind words. I'm Lucky to have Jen for sure
I think that works both ways. Your both lucky to have each other!
Fun to watch again and remember all I've forgotten on this journey! Also, Ben and Timber, hanging on the new deck! Happy Holidays!
🎄⛄❄ 👍 ❄⛄🎄 🏠 🎅 👋
Thanks JB, Seeing the old man when I go through these old footage rips at me a bit. Happy Holidays my friend. Glad you are here
I would just like to say this video was amazing. Alot of hard work and dedication on both your parts. You should be proud. Thanks for sharing.

GORGEOUS. You make it look so simple and is built differently than other builds I've seen.

😊
All that hard work and effort will make you appriciate it all the more, well done to both of you
Thank you Barry, appreciate the kind words. Happy holidays
I watch these kinds of videos weekly and this one has been my favorite so far. I also love that you just keep banging it out until you get it to point that you have in mind. Even the finer details. I see it many people just get them to a livable point.. then they stop.. then they just never get back to it.
Glad you enjoy it! Jen Keeps me on track....I might slack off a bit if it wasn't for her, lol
How incredibly blessed you both are. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you so much!
Awesome job guys, I know how hard this was we built a 14x14 addition on kids cabin and it took 5 guys 8 days just to get the shell done ! Very impressed with how beautiful your place looks 😁 we’re still doing electrical on their home and water lines as they have the money it’s slow going but getting there 1 project at a time, they live with us and just know da 19 and 22 but once done will be debt free as cash the whole way.
Either you guys are perfect or you are a master at editing! No arguing???? Lol
Awesome job guys and it is excellent to see people that are together creating a lifetime of great memories and happiness! Merry Christmas from NY!
That is funny.....if you go back and watch the full project videos....you will get your fill of bickering, lol. Thanks for being here GA. Merry Christmas
that is why the sound is off.
Both of you are on a incredible Journey. Video is awesome thank you for sharing
Thank you Dave for being here with us. Happy Holidays
This is a very good thing .thank you Ed.
Truly amazing how far things have come. This video was a fantastic experience, and a look at what can be done. You guys are great and you will always have JFL in your corner. Nice music also 👌
Best wishes my friends
@@OffgridwithJayandJen We thank you and are wishing you guys great success
Man this is an inspiration and exactly what my wife and I are wanting to do. You guys did an amazing job! Thanks for sharing!
Hey, thanks Chris..hope you join us on future videos. Best wishes
Where is this cabin, beautiful
With all that is going on in this nation and world having a off grid cabin is a smart ideal! Really want to see more. I have watched so many of this type of videos only to be disappointed with finished product because it turns out to be no more than a dirty cluttered shed. I can tell you guys have more pride and the build looks great! May God bless you both and your new home.
So glad you enjoyed our video.....We have a lot of past videos if you want to see more projects around the property. Thank you for your kind words and support B4G
I love the live edge siding!
😊
Awesome job! We are in the planning stages of our own cabin right now and looking to start in a year. Your video gave me some inspiration and can’t wait to get started. Thanks!
I love hearing this....exciting times for you guys. Enjoy and thank you for being here amd the support.
Great video, guys! Unbelievable how much you’ve accomplished. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you my Friend

This is amazing! Hubby and I just bought land, and this is the goal. Would you mind sharing the dimensions please because that size is exactly what I was thinking. So beautiful, well done you two! 👏🏻 😎
16x24.....it is a good size....no regrets. The 9 foot walls and high ceilings give it a nice feel
Awesome job you guys! Thanks for sharing!😊
There were two dogs and then there was only one. Im truly sorry if your pup passed away. I know how difficult that can be.
I loved the video and I learned a great deal. I’m working on doing some home projects right now and this was certainly inspiring. Thank you!
Yes we had Ben for nearly 12 years, he passed away when he was almost 14. Miss that old man so much. Thanks for being here 🐾❤️😁
So happy for you both! Also happy I get to come along with your y’all’s journey. Since I’m new to your channel, is this going to be your permit home or just a getaway?
Thanks Rebecca.....we spend a TON of time here....would love to make it seasonal full time. Currently we have to travel back down state often to worm and make money. But we do about a week south and a week at the off grid property.
Young dreams mean the world to me. And to get it done means even more. No one can take that away from you guys. Memories last forever. God bless you both
So true John.....really nice to hear someone with the same understanding. Life is short and getting things done.......especially following dreams is number one on the list.
I never wanted that video to end.Simply beautiful.
Awe.....thanks Lynn. We have Tons of other videos that share lots of beautiful scenery around the property. Hope you enjoy. Best wishes
Amazing Job! When I saw your wife pull up that sheet of plywood or chipboard board on the roof I was impressed. That stuff is heavy!
Ha....thank you. She is a beast right? 💪
Wow. Amazing!
Just love the video, no rubbish talks, just pure business. Highly appreciated...
Glad you liked it!
The most beautiful little cabin I’ve ever seen! Well done to the both of you.
