Building An Off Grid Log Cabin Alone: Cutting Door And Window In/Rafters

[@jirigrym1533]

We are building a shed and bought this to assist us Does not include any type of blueprints but very helpful to remind you about permits, different ways of doing the foundation or roof kzbin.infoUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG and why they need to be that way, it also includes "pro tips" and lots of pictures and videos Very informative! I also bought it used for 3.18 plus shipping and in "good" condition. It had a little dent on the cover but that was it. Glad I bought it!

[@57silverwings]

I did a lot of this kind of stuff when I was younger. I sold all my land dwellings and bought a 44 foot trawler boat to live on . No taxes or bull shot. And I can pick up and go when I want. Did the loop and go to bahamas in winter. I suspect I’ll die on my boat. A free pirate I am.

[@melissafinnerty4832]

I have been watching log cabin build videos for a long time. Yours is the first and only one that as a woman I think I could actually build on my own. I so thankful I found your videos. Thank you so much!

[@BakuCarl]

I too think this is the only cabin i think i can build.

[@MrHocotateFreight]

start here on this cabin, definitely! the later ones, with more complex cuts, won't seem so distant and challenging with some experience on this videos shack. it's basic but dang good, you'd catch me getting a good night's sleep in a shack like that!

[@savanahmclary4465]

I agree.

[@zachp7603]

As a woman you’d still not manage to do it by your own.

[@rickwaldo4150]

You can totally do it

[@LoredanaKeks]

Probably the best Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

[@Shadowhunter22]

Very, very impressive work.. But i do recommend at the least eye, and ear protection when operating a chainsaw ..After 20+ years as a tree climber , i have seen to many injuries.

[@eddyflanagan153]

KYLE I'M ON MY WAY TO HELP I'M A 76 YEAR OLD APPRENTICE AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS .PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING WITH NO ASSIDES P.S.LOVE YOUR SPRINGER

[@sgrvtl7183]

It is entertaining to watch Kyle build this cabin. What a fine young man!

[@wazzyman2875]

Looking good Bro !!!! Peace 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌

[@gregwoyton7236]

Hi Kyle , I think stacked field stone or river stone would look great for the skirting on your log cabin build .

[@teddyflynn2495]

I agree. A stone skirt around the bottom of the cabin would be a great look.

[@christinesavage8382]

Same thought I had!!!

[@victoriagreyh1463]

I agree, the stone would be perfect. Nice job! I own a Cedar Wood cabin, I didn't build it; but I sure do love it. If I were younger, I think I'd give this a try- Good going, Kyle! Please consider the stone- stone goes so well with wood. And, it gives the eyes a bit of a wondering break from solid wood.

[@supernintendochalmers3811]

Thanks professor

[@evan_513]

Watching the door get cut in was cool

[@jaredyoung5353]

Flood joist being level after several years is not a surprise, also look up the load strength and support needs for a 2x6. With all this work your doing already i would absolutely add 1extra day of work and put a center support for the floor.

[@deeanna5814]

Thanks for sharing the sunset and the chickens’ nightly journey home. Made my day

[@rickhager7978]

What a perfect way to end the week. A surprise video from Kyle. The best program on the air.

[@notyourgrandadswatch7705]

I've been watching a LOT of videos on cabin building and you, by far, have made it seem so attainable a goal to complete. Cheers mate on the awesome progress you've made

[@carpetguydalton]

Kyle, always a fine job sir. That sunset at the end though, wow. :)

[@rachellecanada8997]

WOW you sure are fast Awesome Kyle

[@canajian]

80 bucks so far! ... NICE!! You're doing great young man! 👋😎👍

[@lennyt-man4229]

Kyle with your craftsmanship building log cabins, u should offer your services to build them in the area. Just amazing watching u do these videos.

[@suepeterson5675]

Vertical logs all the way around would look nice. What ever you decide will be nice. Take Care. 👍👍😊

[@franceshenry2239]

Great job.hello Skeeter💗💗💗

[@roamingearth915]

I like your style I live in an expedition tent, 5th winter 3"+ clean gravel as my base ( refresh slightly once a year ) 12 x10 canvas Less bugs Slippers are essential Best floor ever!! ....for my situation. I like your channel, you speak well of your topic. Very best

[@KYLESCABIN]

That is cool! I’d like to get a tent like that one day. I’ve been in them and they are as comfortable as a cabin.

[@JoshuaCBaer]

I watch dozens of these types of shows. Yours stands above them all. Love your realness. Keep it up.

[@murmaiderman]

I learned through watching this that its a good idea to start your first row on your door side. Would make that step up about 6 inches lower. Great videos, Appreciate them a lot.

[@SuperheroDon]

This is significant advice and positively impacts the larger scheme of the build, number of longer logs needed, front porch, porch roof height, etc. Thanks!

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

Place is looking good bro.

[@peterking1134]

Excellent presentation Kyle!

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

Loving this series, you're doing awesome! If Sierra ever gives you shit, drive her ass to the end of the road and tell her gtfo ... you are a capable, respectable man. Damn inspired, wish you lived closer to me to help clear some land lol!

[@ColdWarVeteran-r2j]

I love these videos... Thank you!

[@jasonmeador7861]

Great job on the window.. Most windows were put in like that back in the day!

[@harvestmaid5669]

Great Job!!!🤗

[@carolhub8080]

You are living the dream and this log cabin is perfect for your workshop. One of my favorite channels, too! Be blessed.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

You are very talented and use whatever you can to get the job done.

[@w5glsgary919]

Impressive work 👍

[@lindabarnes8646]

Love it been won't a cabin for years. My husband for many years suppose to have built me one .instead he cut our logs up with his parents saw mill and ruined my dream of a cabin. I forgave him .what he built made me happy 😊. But to see you remind me of us young .love every minute and your had chickens had them too.he died 2oo9 with lukimea. This is 2024 August 28 hope your doing good and in health.

[@lucky9lives4me]

I framed houses for 30 plus years the only thing that would make that better is one color tie in the center! But one log stretching 12 plus feet masic which will push the walls away from each other. I love your videos. I love your videos. Keep them coming, one day I will do one.

[@dbcooper692]

I guess this is going to be the guest cabin?? You are adding value to your property!! Good job!!

[@CoeGuthrie]

Cool video series! A trick an old carpenter i used to work for taught me to not split small, dry, or thin pieces of wood, is to flip the nail over in place, and hit it on the sharp side. That leaves a ring from the nailhead where you’re going to put the nail. Flip it over, and drive it in! I’ve had about a 98-99% success rate over the years doing it this way. Perhaps we’ll cross paths in the Greatland one of these days.

[@kevinb4978]

10:03 "I'm just kinda thinking out LOG here" well played

[@retiredyeti5555]

Vertical logs all around the bottom! The workshop build is coming along nicely. You explain it all quite well - much appreciated by your viewers. Stay safe, give Skeeter a pat on the head for me, and Gaspar says Arf to Skeeter.

[@sueyates3555]

Wow you did an outstanding job on that Log Cabin. Wish you were building that for me. Also beautiful sunset.

[@lisawoodall375]

You are a great craftsman.

[@sassy6292]

The sunset was spectacular!! Wow! This has been a very interesting series of videos. My hat is off to you! You are a wonderful young man.

[@ronwilliamson8384]

low budget builds, we must be brothers lol, free or cheap as possible is how I run, love it brother stay true, nice build

[@sergiovalenti7255]

Great job with the bottom of the window frame. That’s not easy to do with an axe. I can’t wait to see you do the floor.

[@RuffCut]

I know you're happy to get the door cut out and the window installed...looks really good

[@jackirichard414]

Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@larmoran4885]

New to this channel, one of my favourite things is how you reuse materials that probably would have gone to the dump.

[@gailbrault9251]

I just live watching you build your buildings. Great way to repurpose the boards for strapping. I like the look of vertical logs. Great job as always!

[@mollydcanada7276]

Kyle, you are a lucky man to be living this life! Best wishes for a long, peaceful life in your beautiful woods! Great video, of course!

[@juliesimpson3729]

Great project and channel that I love to watch from a girl who loves the minimalist lifestyle you present but unfortunately is living in the city. Thanks for teaching me how to do things and who knows....maybe someday I’ll be fortunate enough to live like you and Sierra. Thanks for taking me away for the night to dream!

[@chrisjensen1814]

Same!

[@russelllowry1061]

Have a perfect place for one of these cabins. If I was 20 years younger, I would do it.

[@a.d.595]

It's looking awesome👏 👌😎keep up the good work 💪cheers from Scotland 🤝

[@dougdiplacido2406]

I think the vertical logs under the front wall would look really cool but you might have a rotting problem. Something to consider. I love your philosophy on how to build the cabin. Do it in a way that you will be proud of in the end. there will always be others who would do it differently. Great video, thanks.

[@rickwaldo4150]

So far the place looks great

[@BenBernal-g3k]

❤ I don't know about anybody else opinion but it perfect cabin

[@scuzzbecuzz]

ALWAYS enjoy your videos!!

[@randymcphink3924]

Very nice build and great job on your safety while cutting the door. Wonderful job

[@AB-so3jv]

Looks awesome!!!

[@timestamp.]

Your chickens are lucky. Beautiful sunsets

[@prospermandizadza2218]

Imppressive Kyle definitely motivating me to try this. Thank you

[@mikedye98]

Another great video, Kyle. Good insight on flooring. Also, I love the Grain Belt hat.

[@f1s2hg3]

You are the WORKING MAN !

[@donnavickery9623]

You are a smart guy and an inspiration.

[@jasonmeador7861]

Absolutely love the cabin! Really cool! Great channel Kyle! Excited for more.

[@JMVideos7676]

Good to see that Skeeter finally showed up to make sure things were going smoothly.

[@richardpedley6291]

Hi iv wached your vids i relly love the idea of bulding and liveing in a logcabin your very lucky all the best from scotland

[@Swordsman69]

Kyle you do great work, I want one !!!

[@personal5305]

yeah hanging the floor off the ground is a good way to go,eventually the sleeper method is going to rot.Always nice to foam around windows before you trim too but you know that dont you.A can of spray is cheap insurance.Looks awesome Kyle!

[@ferenchegyi5896]

Túl sok a beszéd,s kevés a tehetség.Ha már feraksz egy ilyen projektett,akkor alkoss az elképzelésed szerint,mert a sok beszéddel el megy az a kevéske kis idő.Jó a projekted.Sok sikert.

[@Littlejoe-s3u]

Good job young man

[@sydthepioneer]

aaaayyyy nice hat! thanks for the greatly informational series here, I'll be using it when I build my cabin here around Bayfield, WI

[@jacksg1809]

Brilliant as always ,very informative and happy to be watching 😊

[@Kate-nd4rl]

That salvaged wood looks pretty good!

[@cigarprepper7179]

When can I move in!!😂 love the channel!!!

[@soonvillarreal1764]

Wonderful JOB !! We are going to bild up like that ! Thanks !

[@f1s2hg3]

Kyle your work is fine don’t worry about it you know what you are doing kid!

[@margaretfoster492]

Learn so much from watching you work.

[@X08x]

I'm very impressed in your work. Was thinking the floor, maybe rocks with 4x4 as joists Then 2x6 floor boards. floating. Just an idea. Really like your work / skills Thank you

[@stephenstapler9996]

You remind me of Marshals brothers in How I met your mother the Tv show lol also great videos I’ve watched most on the channel keep up the good work!

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

I think your doing a fantastic job

[@michaelanderson9792]

Good luck and happy building bud.

[@ogre77414]

Great to see all the progress that y'all have made!

[@tastyfrzz1]

My place is in northern Minnesota too. East of Leech lake. Keep warm!

[@russellwatters5891]

Vertical logs for skirting would look great! If I were you, I'd get a glass cutter and cut that big window down and use it for the side wall in the frame, and the door. Repurpose it without the metal frame, like aquarium glass. Imo. Love the build so far, keep it up!

[@Downeastwaves]

Excellent job!! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@randyfredricksen5963]

Watching you measure for the window I was thinking..add for the frame..ADD FOR THE FRAME...too late. But it really makes no difference for a work shed...looks great!

[@jamsax6915]

Great job i think rocks will look great.

[@peacefulwife5199]

Kyle, was that rain or freezing rain I heard in the background? You and Cierra have a very lovely place to call home. How is your Dad and Mom? You two, stay healthy. 😁❤😁 The trail camera got me like...😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@riverrivers250]

Holy,,, this dude is a hard worker,,,

[@bsfisher]

Excellent content!! you make it look so easy... No need for a gym membership when building a cabin that's for sure !!

[@wayne8276]

Good going . Well presented . Fun to watch your progress and listen to your comments .

[@ThomasofAkron]

Stone under would be cool

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

Vertical LOGS for sure!!! Great job so far and love the color of the wood. God Bless.

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

P.S. I suggest you use a smaller window in the other wall maybe one similar in size to the first window? Maybe a window that would give some ventilation as well???

[@timwarriner842]

Great Grain Belt hat. Had plenty of this and Schmidt Beer. Upper WI

[@PaintedskiesRankin]

This is the same thing bush radical and his wife talk about in their videos take your time and put in sweat equity and you can come out fairly cheaply but still looking good. Nice sunset btw

[@NuineSapak]

You are very good. Thank you for lecture, and i have learnt alot.

[@LarryMullins111]

Another GREAT video Kyle...Thank you!

[@darrellcaruk8880]

You have great skills. You make building look easy. Out front are you going to build a porch. One other thing you mentioned you would not need a centre support for your floor. were you going to use 2x6 on hangers. Once again nice job. Looks great 🇨🇦

[@melodyhopponen7504]

Turning out really nice. Doing great

[@kevinwilson2536]

I'm telling you it looks like a cabin from an original Lincoln Log set. Nice work so far!

[@terrygoodwin9482]

Looks great. Kyle . Good job . Sure do look forward to your videos
