A quick lockdown synopsis of 1 year at the A-Frame Cabin. It's a great weekend getaway and going to keep it as a little escape.

Last week I purchased a bunch of logs to build my off grid cabin. Little 12x12 on 3 acres I bought. My father and I are currently knotching them. Hopefully in the next month we can start building. Can't wait. Your vids, along with The Outsiders, and TA Outdoors were my inspiration. Thanks for the great vids!

I just found your videos last night and loved watching the process of building your A-Frame. I live near New York City and I just purchased 3 acres of land about 4 hours north, what I love about it is that it's a wooded area that gives you some nice peace and quiet. I am going back and forth on if I should build a log home or an A-Frame and I am now leaning towards an A-Frame after checking out your videos and others as well. You're right on the size, I want to build a little bigger so there is a good sized loft area and where I can have more guests stay and also maybe make it into a vacation rental property so others can enjoy it when I am not there. Good luck on your next project

Glad to see that people are still able to do things like this. This project came out great, it really is inspiring. Unfortunately, regulations and draconian building codes have made stand-alone cabins like this very difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish in the state where I live. 'Tiny homes' are functionally illegal here. I'd have to move to a neighboring state if I wanted to try something like this.

So my question to you are the plans available??
@TheGrantAlexander4 жыл бұрын
Great lessons learned! Could you build the "square" as the new cabin and then use the A frame as the storage spot? Or just build a second bigger A frame, then the first could be used for when guests come to visit? I had often looked into property on the Quebec side as it's so much cheaper than the Ontario side, but the current restrictions give me yet another reason not to. I guess I'll just keep saving and waiting!

It would be nice if there was some kind of mechanism to expend the house and add another level like a “drawer” where the house could expand its “wings” like a butterfly (roof &walls) ... I am not sure how to explain it
@AndrewSzeto4 жыл бұрын
i think i migggght actually do that! build an extension or something

Andrew Szeto nice! Do you imagine being able to transform the design and space by installing commercial massive hinges at the peak of the roof and open the roof like wings and extend the floor (that you can pull out like drawers from underneath the permanent floor and level it with “legs” ) -just being able to transform this beautiful tiny house seasonally would be beautiful 😀 ..you can have more people coming over and then when you are by yourself put it back to what it’s original design! -/ if only things were this easy, right? Love your beautiful cabin!

Andrew Szeto you are an inspiration, I have been looking for a piece of land but I don’t know where would be a good town, or city to do that

WHERE did you get an acre for $6K? 5 Acres in very-rural Metchosin BC is $369K! (Cheapest anywhere within an hour of Victoria BC)

ya..... i know, i would have loved to have moved to BC, but things seem impossibly unattainable over there. only thing deterring me.

So what approximate area are you located? Just a nearby town or something I can Google :-)

Would love any advice on locating a 1-2 acre property. I live in rural Southern Ontario and small properties are hard to come by

oooh i use realtor.ca - also worthwhile growing a bit of a network. this was a private sale from the neighbor of a friend. folks knew that i was fairly obsessive about trying to do this and when a deal popped up, someone let me know, and i jumped on it. definitely a bit of luck involved.
