I spent some time camping out in the foothills of the Rockies, while building a tiny cabin.
Special thanks to Jeff for helping me out during the build. Check out his RUclips channel over at - @SoCoguy
Special thanks to Rachel Savoie for helping out on the first part of the trip!

As I have said before most people have no clue as to how much work construction projects are and Video recording makes it even more challenging. I am very proud of you. Thanks for sharing
You're right, you don't know until you do it. Thanks again for teaching me. Love ya
Great job on cabin. What size is it?@@SRV463
Just came upon your channel love it
Well done sir, great job and great inspiration. Thank you.
Fun build.....congrats on the roof😊
Good video
You are the first person to explain how to cut rafters that I understood.
Thanks Billie, glad the explanation helped. 👍
You are such a kind hearted, intelligent guy. Amazing video, your own background music too I bet. Glad you finally had opportunity to finish it. Always look forward to your return my friend. ❤
Thanks again for all the help! Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Hopefully won't be too much longer.
Got that roof on just in time. It's looking great
Nice job! You are building it the same way I was thought.
You are doing a awesome job ❤
Thank you so much for setting the example for what I want to do (right down to the dome tent!), and - in doing so - teaching this eager amateur a bit more about building a cabin than many other videos and websites did. Good luck with the new school year in the US. Don't kill any kids intentionally!
Very cool, can't imagine the amount of work to capture everything along the way.
Thanks Michael! Yes, it definitely added a lot of hours to the build. It's all good though as it was a fun project, and I'm glad I could share the journey for others to enjoy.
Well done 👍 hope you have a great time in Texas ❤❤xx
Wow You are doing such an amazing job!❤❤❤
Great job and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great job man!
Since I live in Tx, i think we should be buddies, so I can camp i. Your amazing cabin, you know, for science!😂 amazing build sir, very jealous!!!
GOOD JOB .
Good Sturdy foundation is where it all starts ! Then no turning back it coming along good :) You should of put insulation in your corners before you sheeted can't now , hopefully it don't condensate on you in winter, Going to be an awesome view " I'm just finished up with my roof , "green" 👍
Good attention to detail! I think I was so focused on getting out of the tent I didn't even think about that. Perhaps I can drill a hole in the stud and shoot some spray foam in there? Thanks for watching!
@@SRV463 Yes you know where your half way up are so i think 4holes in each corner & a little spray foam should work, I wont tell anybody if you dont lol !Happens to all of us once lol :)It caught my attention as i just made a video of that very thing, Some people forget to put the second stud in so you have something to nail inside wall too, I did on my first shed build :)
Great job! I enjoyed the video and learnt a few tricks 😀
Hood day new to your channel. Great video on the start of your cabin. Well do on the framing and closing it in . I do like the drip edge. . Can't to see your next video on finishing the in side of it .
They are called Lady bugs and are completely harmless. By the way, the freeze in the winter, then thaw, and live again, incredible huh!
Hey James, we do have Lady Bugs here in TX, but they have a red shell with black dots. These things in the video were kind of black with a white stripe (camera wouldn't focus). They would crawl into my shirt and bite me. It felt sort of like a fire ant bite, but didn't swell up afterwards. Interestingly enough, I figured out they were attracted to white clothes. They didn't bother me unless I was wearing white. Thanks for watching!
Great content
Love all the hard work
How much per acre?
Just found your site. So far impressed. Nice images of that cell coming toward you. Clean construction . I like it. I guess I need to go back and get info on property. Why there ? Water, electric, sewage ? Thank you for a nice video. I did subscribe.
Thanks Bert! There is power at the property, but I don't get to go very often so I won't be hooking it up (yet). I'd have to do a well and septic if I wanted water/sewage. Thanks for the sub 👍
I enjoyed your build video. Why did you build it that exact size? Just wondering. Are you going to have a wood stove? I just subscribed. Thanks and I'll be watching for your next visit from Central Oklahoma
Hi Janet, that just was an economical size that worked for me. I doubt I'll be doing a wood stove, but that would be really cool! Thanks for the sub!
Not sure that footwear is OSHA approved
Those are my welding shoes too. Plenty of air holes, kinda like self made crocs 😝
It's great being able to build where you never get frost to heave the building around. Save a lot of digging down to below the frost line.
Why would you use such wide floor joist support beams, only to 45 the ends, reducing it's width. May as well went with a smaller beam and saved some money
Where did you get those anchors
Hey, I made those out of some 3/8s steel flat, some plate, and round bar. Thanks for watching!
@@SRV463 you need to be selling those my man
Good job, Jon. Where are you? Looks like northern Arizona.
Damn ! Great job and very good editing . Any Sasquatch ?
What windows did you use? Sorry if I missed you saying it.
The larger window is an old Atrium that is almost 30 years old, the smaller one I purchased brand new at Home Depot. The atrium works great, but the newer small one is really bad. The whole window comes out, I’m not sure what they were thinking when designing it (you can see how crooked it is in part2). I actually plan to remove it completely and install another atrium window in the future.
@@SRV463 We ended up using Plygem windows from Home Depot and obviously they're cheap windows. I noticed yours are black* on the inside...mine are black on outside but white on the inside. I should've looked harder for black on black.
I used Milgard aluminum windows on my tiny home I'm still building but with the heat and cold in the high desert, probably wouldn't have been the best decision. Plus, Milgard is more expensive and I wasn't happy with the build quality.
You could have done a California corner L shaped studs. In corner
What part of Texas is this? East? (Not asking for exact location of course)
This is near central TX
Are those structural strength screws you are using ..if not they will not have the proper shear strength for that structure...That's why nails are suppose to be used...!
Plywood Then windows..!!!!!!
hello
I don’t get the design… you’re on top of a hill with a tremendous view of the Rockies, why put the door on the wall facing that view? That front wall should be huge windows with the entrance on the back wall. Just my opinion..
Building paper or no building paper? That is the question.
Very well thought out! Your work is just wonderful. You will never forget this build.
Your insulation must be soaked and retaining water inside the void.
Thanks for the cool video
Correct, anytime one does metal roofing in a building that's going to be heated or cooled, you need decking & a water barrier. Or else, you'll have moisture problems!
Your content is incredibly heartwarming and meaningful, always inspiring me with your dedication and creativity. I love the positivity and humor you bring to each video.
And I am floating village life
Next framing project look up california corner..it allows interior sheeting to be nailed without adding nailer.
Great job. 😊😊
Nice work man! ❤🫂🙏👏😍🎉 Looking forward to seeing what else you do next with this beautiful project! 🍀🤞🙏🤘😁🤘
Great job 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great work. Nails for studs good. Nails for flooring less so. Overlapped second top plate. Good call.
nice work,very nice place,congrats
Nice job man! I can hardly wait to see a big deck on the front!
Love watching cabin builds but the cloud time-lapse was awesome too!
I was wondering why the roof went on after the wall panels. Wind concerns?
The local supply store had to order the roofing tin, and it took about 3 weeks to get there. So I kept working while waiting for it. Thanks for watching!
37.22 music is creepy😊
Thank you, I wrote that I believe in 2007 when I was listening to copious amounts of Danny Elfman. Haha, Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing
Looks amazing! ❤ Can’t wait to come camp out in the cabin with you 🥰
Very cood
Love this. Subscribed.
So Awesome!
What part of Texas.I from Southeast Texas North of Houston. You are doing an awesome job. I have learned a lot from you.
Why you didn’t tape the window opening?
Looking good, will princess come
My guess is those thin concrete pavers you stacked as a foundation or whatever they are will crack and eventually erode away as the ground and cabin settles. There's a big difference in strength between a piece of let's say 8" solid block concrete versus stacking 4 pieces of 2" thick concrete to make 8". Best of luck to you , hope you don't have problems
In most soil situations you’d be correct with your concern. But looking at their soil it’s rock based. That ground is not going to settle or shift like regular ground would
@davesrvchannel4717 maybe you're right, maybe not but between the weight of a cabin and it's furnishings, heavy snow and frost you get in the rockies I definitely wouldn't chance it. Heck I wouldn't even build a shed on stacked up paver blocks , but that's just me. Best to you and the uploaders
@@SRV463 👍
You need to toss that Ryobi crap in the trash & get ya some powerful Milwaukee tools!
which state is this?
