Thanks! It is a great way to model a solid work ethic. Early on as a parent and DIYer I thought that my kids would need to be at a certain age before they could learn from anything I was building. I’ve now seen that they do pick up more than you think and it’s worth spending the time to include them in the project.
For now it will primarily be a weekender, but I want to set it up so we could live in it full time during the fall and summer. Winter would be a bit more challenging to live full time because of the snow depth.
That’s really cool! It’s impressive that you also included your son in the build too. I want to build a fishing cabin myself. I’m a little intimidated because of my lack of experience. What’s the best way to ease into cabin building? Just go for it? Read some books beforehand?
I completely understand the intimidation. I've been there myself. Going forward I'm going to try to do a better job on this channel of going through all the steps in more detail to help anyone who wants to follow along.

Unfortunately, all the lots in the area I built have all been sold. I've seen many cabin builders mention they used landwatch.com to find their properties. I basically stumbled into finding our lots through a friend of a friend. Here are some videos describing how some of my favorite cabin builders found properties: ruclips.net/video/CZCBuqwquIY/видео.htmlsi=yLiO2Ak2J3q1WkQs ruclips.net/video/R3D5sY8WPOo/видео.htmlsi=aM3QE6anJsSueCha
I will have a wood stove in there but winter snuck up on me before I could get it to the cabin. Unfortunately it will be late May before I can get in there with a vehicle. Here’s a video on finding my stove: ruclips.net/video/K8ukr77Yeu0/видео.html
Thanks for the kind words. It’s 12x20 and the roof is 10:12 pitch. Those dimensions allowed me to use full 4x8 sheeting in several areas. That pitch allow me to use 12’ roof sheeting without cutting
Yes, venting is a challenge with this design. It was a tradeoff between maximizing R value and adding a bit of venting above the insulation. This one of the reasons I went with Rockwool insulation in the ceiling. If condensation does occur, the Rockwool does allow drying to occur back to the interior without degrading thermal performance.
Brings back great memories working with my grandfather. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job ! Greetings from down under Australia…..stay safe n warm!
Thanks for the kind words!
You've got a big helper there! I bet he's a handful. They are the most fun!!
Yes, he does keep us on our toes...but they are lots of fun!
The cabin is so beautiful I love your video
Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You’ve made great headway in a short period, Josh. Nice work!
Thanks!
I love it when sons are on the worksite. It shows them good work ethic! I wish I had my son all through my cabin build 😩 Great work!

@tinycabinpnw Absolutely 💯 they pick up more than we realize and they are very good imitators.

Thanks for the kind words.
Very Nicely done, sir. Is that going to be a full time homestead or a weekender? I'm still digesting zoning codes etc.
For now it will primarily be a weekender, but I want to set it up so we could live in it full time during the fall and summer. Winter would be a bit more challenging to live full time because of the snow depth.

@@tinycabinpnw well i understand winter i live in michigan . nice way to sneak in another video good job lol .
what size, square ft is your cabin, 16x20 ?? what pitch is roof? thanks for your video. lookin good
Thanks for the kind words. It’s 12x20 and the roof is 10:12 pitch. Those dimensions allowed me to use full 4x8 sheeting in several areas. That pitch allow me to use 12’ roof sheeting without cutting
@@tinycabinpnw thanks for your wisdom

no proper vent? moisture issues down the road
Yes, venting is a challenge with this design. It was a tradeoff between maximizing R value and adding a bit of venting above the insulation. This one of the reasons I went with Rockwool insulation in the ceiling. If condensation does occur, the Rockwool does allow drying to occur back to the interior without degrading thermal performance.
i would rather have lower r value with ventilation. moisture will ruin the building. that is going to sweat.
