  • Over the past 3 years I built our lakeside off grid cabin in the beautiful woods of northern Michigan. Here is the complete build condensed into less than 45 minutes. Check out all the episodes in my playlist. Looking forward to many new and exciting projects this spring and summer! Stay Tuned!
    Woops!!! Realized in the video I said I started in the fall of 2022....I meant 2021! Time flies. :-)

    Beautiful build! Congratulations.
    Excellent videography and editing. Quality time lapse, no jerky movements and droning commentary.

    I absolutely love the whole cabin. The colour bond outside looks great and perfect inside. Gives that variation. The internal steps are a great design. Furniture is beautiful. Look forward to more videos. Great music.

    Great workmanship! In the beginning, you dug the drill foundation pieces into the yard using a long stick to do the twisting and turning. This is actually a proper implementation of the Archimedean principle, "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth." (i.e., the greater the distance between you and the center of rotational motion, the greater the energy) Well done! Plz! Release a version with only the nature sounds???

    Can you share a bit more about the screw in footings? I’ve been wondering about this for this application for a while. Thanks!

      Home Depot company called Pylex...They offer a variety of sizes and applications. I used them to make a solar panel support structure. With these you dont have to dig holes and mix concrete for the posts. Once you get them lined up properly they are sturdy enough. I am now looking at putting in a 4 by 4 post fence and stringing wire mesh and chicken wire.

    It was easy for me to forget how much time and effort went into this project but was quickly reminded with this video. Congratulations on the completion of such a great build. You took great care into making sure that this structure will last for many decades and Lord willing, it does. May you, your family and friends have many wonderful memories made while at the lake. God bless and be safe on your journeys.

    Lovely video, quite fascinating to watch. I'd do metal sheeting on the inside as well, I'd just paint all inside wood white for harmonization of using different materials.

    I would add a nice throw rug in front of the sofa and some nice soft blankets on the sofa to bundle up in. On the approach, I would lay some nice large flagstones and fill in around them with decomposed granite. I might also add some simple lights on the stairs inside and out for night visibility. You can install those stick-on LED light strips that are super low voltage for lighting the kitchen area at night or for that matter anywhere else. I prefer to trim out my window casings in cedar that is smooth sanded. It stains awsome and smells amazing. It also lasts a very long time. I have built many tables in this and they just last and last.

    Good for you! What a wonderful thing to have created for your family. Congratulations. It will be a meeting place and source of fond stories and memories for generations. In Scandinavia they see their Hytte (huts/cabins) as the true family home. Urban dwellings may come and go, but the cabin remains at the heart of family gatherings.

    When you were zip taping the gable window in the front of the cabin you taped the top, then the sides...which is backwards as the seam no longer tucks under the top...no worries tho as zip tape is so sticky it will have sealed just fine
