building a cozy off grid cabin in the woods start to finish

In this video I build a 12x16 off grid cabin in the woods . a great nature viewing cabin with lots of windows.I built this cabin with mostly rough sawn lumber , and discounted and second hand materials. this project took about a month to build , including restoring the wood stove and filming everything . the cost was about $4,500. I saved a lot of money buying all the windows second hand , the door was free . Another way I saved money was using rough sawn lumber from the amish to frame the walls and side the exterior. the wood stove was one we bought second hand as well , it was in rough shape but I restored it . And one last money saving was I found a place that sold cabin grade tongue and groove pine at a discounted price . Check out this playlist for the entire series on this cabin • cozy off grid cabin se...

[@chrisnash2154]

I obviously don't know your financial situation, but when you do all of the work you're doing and not bringing anyone in for labor, that automatically affords you some new tools. Particularly if it makes your work more efficient. Many woodworkers will say you learn your time is your most valuable asset. A pneumatic or gas powered nailer would have saved you a ton of time. Heck renting would have been a justified cost, but you're good. My 1/2 cent says you earned that nailer and several more tools. Outstanding job!

[@blackspruce1861]

I borrowed that battery powered nailer and used it for the floor and OSB but I had all those galvanized hand nails and just didn't want to by more . also I ran all my power tools on that portable power station and it wouldn't run my big air compressor that can keep up with my nail gun . I kind of enjoy pounding nails once in a while so its all good. Thanks I'm glad you liked it !!

When I see hard working brothers like yourselves, I can’t help thinking, they must have had a great dad! 💪

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks !! he is pretty great ! I've definitely learned a lot from him

[@nickischwab205]

I think the cabin is beautiful!! You did a wonderful job......it's just perfect. All the windows make it come to life. I'm sure it will last a very long time and you will indeed get lots of use out of it!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor. I certainly enjoyed watching you build it.

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks !!! I'm happy you enjoyed it . she's really enjoyed having it

[@jeannieab5218]

Tina, what a fabulous choice of window placing in a woman cave for crafts. You certainly nailed it (hehe). Hubby, you rock! Happy crafting Tina! ❤️

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks!! and I will pass that on to her

[@filthybstard]

This is just so perfect, imagine if we didn't have YT, back in the day this would be chronicled in 'nature' magazine or something and we'd get nowhere near the same relaxing experience watching this. Using your head and hands, building for a purpose, out in the beautiful woods, wonderful companion and amazing end result, what could be better really?

[@blackspruce1861]

honestly it wouldn't have been chronicled at all I'm a horrible writer never would have even bothered with something like that . it really is pretty rewarding

[@sweatyrabbit6708]

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks I will let her know LOL

[@carolechenowith900]

I wish someone would build me something like this. Wow! If i want one I'll have to build it myself. At 70 hmmmmmm. Maybe i could but probably wouldn't look as nice.

[@blackspruce1861]

You could alway but one of those portable cabins have it delivered and finish the inside.
