START to FINISH building office cabin we bought off the INTERNET

- We bought a flat pack office cabin off the internet. And today you’re watching one man (namely Kayvan!) build it start to finish. Will he get it built before the Irish weather wrecks our plans? Will it even be any good? Watch to find out!

Hi. I'm one of the people who criticised you on your video on your other Channel when you got the hens. I even went as far to say that you were playing at Homesteading. I would now like to apologise and say that I was wrong. Since following this channel I realise that you are fully committed and that all your family are on board. I love the content and the interaction between you and Kayvan and can't wait to see how the house and homestead develop. I wish you lots of luck and hope you get the house in a liveable condition before the grant cut off date. You really are living the dream and thanks for sharing it with us.
Hello, we very much appreciate your comment. It is a strong individual who is willing to entertain a contrary opinion, and an even stronger individual to change their mind and accept their new position. We are pleased to have you along for the ride!
@@offgridirishhomestead You have ANOTHER channel????
Kayvan is so laid back he's almost horizontal... what a legend...lol
😂
Skills attained while playing with Legos can not be understated. What about that view! ❤❤❤
Office a sweet porch and a VIEW ... WIN/WIN ❤
Put insulation in ceiling & walls,will be so cosy
I would say with an Irish winter just round the corner, insulation is a must.
What a great solution to the problem of WFH when you’re mid renovation and living in a van! It looked like it was fun to build as well!
As others have said, I would put a steel roof on with guttering to divert rain away from the structure (could even capture it and plumb it in if you want to get fancy for drinking) and help protect it, seal the bottom to stop water ingress, insulate and line the walls , add some flooring and a small wood stove to keep things dry and warm (and give you a source of hot water for tea and coffee).
If you do that it will make an excellent office for years to come, and maybe eventually a nice little guest suite if you decide to move your office into the house once it’s completed.
It was pretty fun to build. Things which are started and finished in single digit days when you have all the materials and tools necessary to hand are always a pleasure.
It reminds me of Lincoln Logs. Very cute, love seeing the family working together.
Reminds me of making a house/cabin out of popsicle sticks! 😂
It’s a great start - stud out the interior walls and ceiling, add insulation. Cut a hole in the roof for a stove pipe - add a small wood burner in the corner - and you can be comfortable in the coming winter months.
You’ll be cold, damp and miserable without having completed these final steps - a little stove goes a long way toward happiness….
I would add A/C as it will heat, cool and dehumidify and be cheap to run in that size space. That would be after the insulation of course!
This comment. That shed needs a proper roof put on also or water is going to pour in through those slats no matter how tight they think they are.
@@SagebrushRamblesit had a felt roof put on over the roof slats similarly to the roof of a shed 😊
@@SagebrushRambles9
@@SimonEllwood - Ha!
I’m with you on adding insulation, an actual roof, and a way to heat it.
But..
This is Ireland. You will NEVER EVER NEVER, not-even-a-little-bit, need AC here. ( I know..hard to imagine such a thing, but as a New Yorker who moved to northwestern Ireland ten years ago - you can take this to the bank)
Haven’t been warm since 2015…..
Well done Kayvan - great result! Cori you've got a lovely view from your office! Thanks for the laughs too! Kx
Wow...very impressive for an internet purchase and a fast build. Great Job. Excellent location especially with the views. Time to make it cozy and warm before the weather gets cooler.
@@offgridirishhomestead What Company did you order the Shed from?
That cabin looks great it’s looks big enough for both of you to work from. It really looks very nice.
Thank you!
...and who ever said that playing with Lego's would not translate to adult life is struggling right now watching this project.
Nice job, guys. I've always wanted to go to Ireland now. I'm in a wheelchair and I'll never make it. It's bringing me back home. I'm from Irish roots.
Good morning from Ohio, USA. I must say that I am very proud of both of you! Your positivity and drive keep myself and others to cheer you on in this journey of life! Keep on pushing forward! You got this!! 🥰
Ohio woot! Thanks for following along
You two, a perfect blend of bubbly and stoic hilarity. Congrats on the flat pac, that was an amazing surprise. And I can only imagine what a blessing it is to have it done.
Paul from Dublin. you guys are a breath of fresh air. Love your attitude brilliant
Hi Paul, thanks for following along.
Now u both have a nice place to go for some alone time 😊😋
Well done guys, how much did the cabin cost and do you have a link? Great upload as usual, thank you guys. Love from Ireland xx
What a great studio! Keep putting the preservative on, timber needs it in this climate. Also add some concrete bricks to lift the timbers off the concrete slab and add a weatherboard around the raised edge. The wind and rain (they are a horizontal pressure treatment in this part of the world) will find its way through all the unsealed joints too. Perhaps a ventilation gap then a membrane and decent insulation will keep it cosy. A heat retainng wall, big stones?, would help keep it keep comfortable on those days when the sun, wind and clouds are up to tricks.
What a great view from your new office, perfect placement.👍
It is right!
Brilliant, I am thinking about one doing this too. Can you share where you got it and the model?? Also, are you going to insulate it after the electrics, would love to see how ye get on.
What a fabulous cabin! Well done
What will they think of next!?😮
interesting shed design, will you be putting some flat insulation and Drywall on the inside? just thinking of winter and heating? rather pretty on the hillside I think.
No further additions yet - might come to regret it later 🥶
@@offgridirishhomestead rigid insulation is really cheap, if winter gets a bit chilly in the office, putting up the insulation, then covering it later will still stave off the cold. you could even put up some 1x6 to keep that cabin feel over it if not drywall. Back burner idea for now, but should you need it... :) The cabin is really cute, hope it works well for you!
Looks Good Where did you get the Cabin from and what's the Size Please
Just love, love, love your new office. Well done Kayvan, great job xxx
Thank you!
The cabin looks great! I absolutely love watching your videos. Thanks for the laughs.
What a lovely view, great kit for the she shed.
That is One Cool Looking Cabin🎉❤
Hubbys made a brilliant job of your office, and what an Amazing view. Coming on nicely.
Its a beauty alright!
The cabin is cute! Looking forward to seeing how you finish it so that is suitable for all seasons.
Its the perfect "she shed" well done 👍
Another very enjoyable vlog…..well done Kayvan, skilful job putting together the kit set office, Cori you have amazing views, hope it doesn’t detract from your work 😀
How adorable❤. Brand new to your station. This little house is adorable.
Thanks a mil
Thank you , I enjoy this very much❤❤❤❤
Why didn't you trowel the concrete smooth? You are eventually going to have a problem where the pressure treated base meets the concrete you need to at least calk the joint with maybe Butyl calk so water doesn't go underneath and maybe with some and some 4" or 6" Butyl tape flashing. I would also put some round louvered vents in the bottom row of siding of the cabin in each bay between the joists and in the pressure treated base on the porch at both ends for air flow so you don't get trapped moister between he concrete and the wood floor
A few tubes of silicone around the panels of the windows and door wouldnt go amiss either, to seal them up.
Great tip
Hi, could you possibly disclose how much the pine cabin kit cost? I would consider it for our property. Thanks!
Oh my gosh! I just love the outtakes at the end. It gives me such giggles. Yall are adorable!
What a guy Kayvan is 👍🏼 looks great guys!
Very well done...I loved your work done...just as I like it ❤🎉
Stuck one of these up myself last spring to replace an existing one that was absolutely rotten ( don’t know how old it was but it was there when I bought the place twenty years ago) it is a bit bigger a lot brighter and has been taken over as a “ garden room “ by the ladies in my life so now I have to go and get a replacement for my old garden shed again. Myself and two actually quite enthusiastic teenagers put it up in a weekend ( we did the pad the weekend before but we mixed the concrete in the old reliable mixer ourselves again two enthusiastic teenagers) it was simple enough to put up and very well made as you said doors needed a bit of minor tweaking but I was probably just being a bit anal other than that it was a breeze. For the money quite honestly I expected it to be a bit of a challenge and poor quality but it was neither. I wired it up on weekend three and at this point I knew that I had been evicted so as I had left a spare duct when I was putting in the power I stuck in a water line so that it has water laid on for the out door kitchen ( barbecue with an old Belfast sink and a gas hob just in case) which took out the June bank holiday weekend. Enjoying your channel .😊
Where did you get it and how much was it? Would love something similar!
You picked a perfect spot for the build ❤ what a view. I don’t think I would end up getting any work done with a view like that. 😂
What a brilliant little cabin! I'm sure you'll get lots of use out of it... and who wouldn't want a jenga shed? I can't believe how quickly I've fallen in love with your family and your channel. The 3 of you are so much fun to watch that its become something I look forward on Sunday afternoons. Be blessed and keep on smiling 🌹
It's beautiful!!
Thank you
Fantastic job , it’s a real asset , a man who follows instruction his bloods worth bottling . Luv Sharyn and Rosie 🇳🇿
Love the cabin well done it sure looks amazing tc all the oldies 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Your bloopers at the end are 😂. Can you build one of those every week? Fun to watch!
An extender for the roller would make application easier. It just screws onto the end of the roller. It looks great!
Thank you
One of your best videos. Caman building sweet office cabin & family working together to finish cabin. Also you all have great teeth & great smiles, which makes your videos even more aesthetically pleasing. Hello from Australia.😊
FANTASTIC!! This little shed is charming! I see a multitude of uses here!
Wonderful play house for children, great place for slumber parties when they get to those teen years.
Guest cottage for friends.
And of course a wonderful office for your adorable wife!!
Would love to know how and where you purchased from and the cost in your part of the world!
You did a marvelous job!
Looking forward to your next Vlog!!
Wish I was there to help you decorate, one of my favorite things to do!
But seeing how I am in Northern California, USA and just turned 90 three days ago I don't forsee that happening any time soon!
I will just have to live vicariously!!
Until next week, be safe!!
The cabin looks great, where did you buy it from? love and blessings from Scotland 🙂
It was a Dublin based outfit. We found it on Wayfair - the shopping/supplier aggregator
@@offgridirishhomestead Thank you so much for getting back to me, love your channel 🙂🙂
Hi guys, another great addition to the property, nothing like a family that works together, congratulations on the great effort, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Hi Les, thank you!
🇨🇦 I love the office!! It looks marvellous!!😍😍 and what a view!! I would not get any work done!! Well done Kayvan!!👏The company will be happy too you ok’d their product!
Amazing Kayvan, impressive job, stunning little cabin, I absolutely love it!
Hi Eliane, thank you!
The story on the belt situation cracked me up. My husband has used many things, rope, zip ties, wire on occasion, I’ve even seen O rings holding his pants up. lol The man is so rough on clothes I joke he should be the test dummy for companies claiming their products are indestructible. There was a company that sold fire hose pants that had a life time warranty and he destroyed so many pairs and sent them back they changed their policy. I always tease him that unbeknownst to him he must be a legend at the company for being the quintessential rough rider who decimated all of the supposed indestructible garmets. 😅 In the states we call the rope wearing men “red necks” Welcome to the red neck club! 🙂 Some of the hardest working people I know!!
Glad you were able to laugh at it. It is quite ridiculous really. Red neck in Ireland - sounds about right!
Beautiful shed!
Woot
Great addition to the farm😊 I know Cori will enjoy it. ❤
Bit of extra living space is handy around here these days
you've chilled
incredibly 😎
job Ireland, done 😘
Thanks a mil!
Additional space yeeeaaahhh! Will you do extra insulation on the interior? 🎉❤🎉
For the moment, we are leaving it as it. Might come to regret it mid-winter! 🥶
Fab channel, loving. Your journey. Could you provide details on where you bought the cabin? And did you put down a damp proof membrane under the frame to prevent rising damp?
We enjoy watching your videos! We never know what to expect. We had some trouble understanding you - we watch at .75x now and all is clear! Dave & Marji - Albany, Oregon USA
Hello and welcome. Thanks for following along.
My favorite part? the outtakes. Love them 😀
Looks as if you could enclose the porch portion to make a small second office if needed. Nice. Strongly recommend insulating it and putting at least some corrugated steel roofing for long term durability.
Would love to know the link for that cabin. Great to see in being made
Love the wee cottage! It looks lovely sitting on the hill overlooking the lake. 💖✨
For an internet gamble, that looks to have worked out really well, massive help when the instructions make sense. With that being just pine (pays your money and all that ) it’s going to take a fair bit of weatherproofing but what a lovely place to work from.
It did work out great indeed! Re protecting pine - absolutely.
Love the shed. What brand is it and what kind of cost pls?
I absolutely love it! I would love to know where to find one of those!
Another YTuber, Maya Feliz, has a similar cabin on her property in Portugal. Be warned those interlocking corners are not watertight, so your stain will not prevent water ingress. Consider waterproofing the exterior corners. Once you add insulation inside and also maybe a small woodstove, you will be very cozy in there indeed. Nice!
Thanks for pointing out the issues.
I don't know if you are finished with the roof but you defiantly need drip edge around it!
Wow, when it goes up, it goes up!!!! Great work
Loved how quick it was done.
Wow the office is amazing - like a little house - you will love working there now - love it but a lot of work too!!
Kayvan made it look easy! Great job
Thank you!
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Appreciate you.
Well done 😊😊😊 I hope you guys won't feel like every video needs to have a project completed... While I know it's a good motivator, I have seen too many youtubers become completely burnt out and stressed about the videos rather than enjoying the process ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great comment, thank you!
Good job folks, loving the office space shed! ❤
Can you provide the link of the site you purchased your cabin in your next video. Thanks. The cabin looks excellent-well done Kayvan!
Would it have paid to put a Damp Proof membrane under each of the base timbers to avoid dap being absorbed by the timber? looks a nice facility to use and you can improve it with Insulation if you feel the need.
Very nice! Well done! I don't know if it gets windy where you are, but have you made it windproof? We have two nice cabins kind of similar to yours and we double windproofed them!
We've seen videos of roofs coming off entirely! It's not to scare you it's just a kind advice! You can buy storm kits. But you might have already done it! 😊
It has been through a few 40mph winds with 60mph nights already. But yes, will be attaching that porch roof to the concrete slab for sure!
@@offgridirishhomestead wow! That's great that it stood through those strong winds! Check for storm kits, they are not expensive!
You picked the perfect site. That is a fantatice view.
I could live there actually, with this beautiful view (and funny neighbors!)...
Wow I love it. Well done guys ❤
Thank you
Stay the course!!! I hope someday I can visit your family when I get to visit Ireland once again. May seem a bit weird, ya'll feel like family!
A superb result, based on skilled construction and good quick stain before rain. The product I would really like,if it could be packaged - I know it can’t be - is the horizontal calmness of the build !!!👍😁 Great video. Thank you.
Phil, Suffolk.
Hey Phil, thanks for following along.
😊 That was awesome to watch! It is so cute! And understandable instructions? I didn't think they made those.😂
Half understandable at least!
That looked like fun! My idea of building a cabin! No nails! 😂
What a beautiful build for an office
You two are such a cute couple! Love your sense of humor.
What a beautiful spot for an office
Super cute She Shed! I flippin love it ❤ well done 🎉😊
Excellent job👍 well done 🎉
Thanks!
Wow am suprised It's came out beautifully
Good job,,hopefully the rain held off long enough for it to dry.😊
Only just!
Looks great 🏠
Thanks!
Great job!
Thank you!
Hi guys .love it looks so cool❤
You made the cabin build look so easy..
we have land in Leitrim and it would be great to have a little cabin up there..what are the dimensions and would you mind sharing the web site you found it on please..
Looking forward to next week's video..❤
Great job Keyvan! Can you post the link to that cabin kit? Or maybe mention it in the next video and put it in the description of that video...?
Where are all the thirst trap shots of Kayvan working on the cabin with his shirt off? 😂
Diet coke shots next!
Love your videos!!! Wishing they were longer ❤❤❤❤
Great job. 👍🏼👍🏼. Enjoyed watching
Thanks a mil!
do both the ESB poles ruin your view of the lake below?? Great job Kayvan on the wooden office. It flew up
Don't even notice them to be honest. The view is so spectacular, they do not enter your consciousness. Thanks for following along.
