    Your remodel is looking sweet with the new paneling on the walls! I replaced my CCFL's in my place two years ago with LED's ranging from 3 watts to 9 watts, depending on what the light was being used for. I've managed to get my electric bill down to an average of $42.00/month due to swapping out my stuff for more energy efficient equipment.
    Once I save enough for my own Monolithic Dome Cabin, I plan on adding an extensive battery / generator / solar / wind setup to make it as redundant as possible. I'll still be hooked up to the grid for convenience, but will be all set if the grid goes down for any reason. I also plan on doing the same with my water supply for redundancy, and will have municipal water, well, and a rain catchment system with on site storage.
    I've learned a ton of information from your channel, as well as many other people's channels here on RUclips. I have been planning on getting my own place for some time now. When I finally make it a reality, I will be one happy person!

I can't wait to be free of the house I currently rent once my youngest son is a grown up !! That was way more info than anyone cared to know I'm sure haha but anyway thank you for showing me I won't have to have a gazillion dollars for this to be a reality for my future.

I told her if I had stayed with plan A i'd be living in a 20x20 just like what I built on 100 acres of woods!! the up stairs is my smoking lounge. I have a window up there and a wood stove down stairs!! I have just barely under 10kw of solar and wind turbines. I have a new freedom II turbine and a 400 watt skymax. I run everything 120 on the house and the entire building off my battery bank(it's freaking huge and 12 volts to boot!!).
    keep up the good work and remember the boat has a hole in it!!!

She gave of herself to you through her talent, my son was the same way. Sorry to say my son passed in 2008 from a car crash, I miss him terribly. He was resourceful like you, always coming up with great ideas. Your cabin looks awesome! Are you going to have an on demand water heater, it's propane too? It's not bad to do things on the cheap.

      Was wondering when you plan on building the addition? Because of restrictions with square footage are you going to skirt around the building codes like you did on your porch? I noticed it's not attached to your house. So I'm guessing you would build a separate structure and somehow have a common entrance? If you do I think that's really cool and could you do a video and talk about that? Or would the black helicopters come back? Haha good luck love your place.

    • @solarcabin

I don't know your situation, but I hope you are living well. It seems as though you are living within your means (even well BELOW your means) and you prove to all of us that you don't need fancy materialism to keep us happy. (well, the window a/c unit is NICE!!!) I have a house, 'cause my wife wouldn't want it any other way, but I definitely want to build a cabin like yours, and I'm hoping to share this experience with my father.

      I wish I could have convinced my husband to give up the huge house, land, boat, yacht club memberships, fancy cars all the things we didn't need at all that kept him away from home anyway and away from the children and I which ultimately brought our marriage to an end ( I'm not saying it was that or him 100%) but countless times I asked him why we couldn't just give all that up for more time together and time as a family? I told him repeatedly I would live in a trailer, very small home or whatever it would take and give up whatever material possessions we had if it meant we could be a family and his reply was always "oh you wouldn't be happy" his way of saying he wouldn't be happy I guess 😔

Or even white wash just some of the boards. People use alot of pallets on their walls and do that. Check it out and see if you like the look. But even if you don't do any paint on them, just the cedar boards look great.

    LaMar, I LOVED your Mom's painting on 2 levels. First & foremost, the emotional meaning & secondly, her style- she was a very talented artist! Would you consider making copies/lithographs & selling them? It would be a nice way to commemorate your Mother & I'm sure she would be happy if she knew you made some $ off of it too. I was captivated by her use of color & the somewhat primitive style, it really drew me into the scene. If you ever did this please sell the first copy to me!

    Great Great grandpa had cabin over the lake. Little white house with a porch over the lake. You could drive your boat under the porch and open the trap door and come in up through the porch. I cant count how many times i've sit on the porch and fished.
    The son had to sell the property because the relatives were fighting because they wanted their part out of it.. So instead of using the property for family gatherings and creating memories with the next generations, but they took the money.
    That was one of the worst days of my life when it was sold it.. I was about 16 at that time and i just started cry when they told me they had put it up for sale.
    I just have so many good memories at that place. If i ever come into some money, i swear to god i will buy that place back quadruple the marketvalue.. I'll offer his so much damn money for it, he would be a freakin' idiot to turn it down!

      Adults can be very stupid and short sighted at times.
