We build an extremely small off grid house on stilts in the forest - 'The Forest Cube.'
The inside is insulated to R2000 standards with rockwool, then wrapped in plastic vapor barrier and tuck taped to be completely sealed from the outside.
While not conventional, the walls are finished with drywall, and painted. But the ceiling has a super fancy 'tray ceiling' that glows bright with recessed rope lights and pot lights. These all run off the Inergy portable battery pack.
We decided to use a engineered hardwood floor supplied by Bigelow Flooring.
The shell of the cube is completely wrapped in kerdi waterpoof membrane made by Schluter, including the flat roof to give The Cube, it's unique look.
Regular framing forms the structure of The Cube which is bolted to the cedar posts supports. I have used reclaimed materials for nearly all of the construction, from the lumber, to the windows and doors. The aluminum door is cut from a full frame garage door and purposely narrow to permit more wall space for bedding and sitting.
The upright door is only meant to access the wrap-around porch, while the lower hatch serves for entry and exit. It is also cut small to keep the space useful.
Inside, The Forest Cube doesn't feel cramped because of the big front window opening up the space to the forest and pond that surround it. The view is amazing! The pond area will grow in with lush vegetation by next spring and the waters be filled with wildlife, fish and frogs, and our pet ducks!
Other features to be added to the space will include indoor lighting supplied by a quiet battery generator and unique decor such as a 'floating ceiling.'
The Cube is being heated with Cubic Mini Wood Stove: cubicminiwoodstoves.com/
Most of the materials are sources on-site, including the cedar posts holding up the deck and the spruce trees milled on a portable sawmill. The rest of the materials are salvaged, and so either free, or very inexpensive including the re-used pressure treated lumber and the discarded propane tank.
The propane tank is the perfect place for an open fire pit, hung up over the Juliet balcony to maximize the view over the front of the deck in full view of the pond.
We finish the inside of the extremely small off grid house on stilts in the forest - 'The Forest Cube.'
While not conventional, the walls are finished with drywall, and painted. But the ceiling has a super fancy 'tray ceiling' that glows bright with recessed rope lights and pot lights. These all run off the Inergy portable battery pack.
The Forest Cube is outfitted with a small bed, coffee table that doubles as a storage unit, coat rack, and shelves to hold personal decorations. Future plans will include a wrap-around porch and outdoor cooking area.
The small cube is a self-contained living space of just 64 sq t. raised up off the ground on cedar post stilts to both protect from the elements, save on foundational requirements, and provide an epic view of the pond and surrounding forest!

Pro tip, if you want your posts to last forever and not rott at the ground level heres a 10,000 yr old tip to preserve post wood, take a torch and burn the posts where they will be underground until they are blackened & leave charcoal residue on your hands, make sure to blacken the posts 6 inches above ground , next step is to visit your local commercial & industrial roofing material outlet " not home depot " and buy 5 gallons of coal tar pitch primer, take the posts & submerge them in the coal tar liquid & allow to absorb 1 to 3 days, allow 24 hrs to dry & your posts will never rott out , im a 77 yr old retired Journeyman Waterproaofer who has used this centuries old method of wood preservation on many structures on my 22.5 acre compound , i set the posts on my 1st barn 30x50 using this method with pine 6x6 posts back in 1969 and the posts are all dry & free of rott .

Very sweet sustainable build there, was great to see you harvest your source materials straight from the surrounding area and immediately use it. Almost makes me feel like I could do it myself, which I’d love to do if I had a friend like your handyman there, and accessibility to forests as you do there in Canada, I know they’re all around up there. Thanks for letting us watch you build it!☺️♥️

Love the movie version of this build as much as I did the series. I appreciate the time that you must have put in on editing this, especially after so much time has passed since the recording of them. Might I suggest that you hinge the ladder going to the first deck and rig a pulley to hoist the ladder up. This would be a neat addition for Bear/ People proofing.

Excellent implementation of the idea! The ends of the logs that were buried in the ground had to be burned along the entire length plus half a meter from ground level so that they would not rot. There is also a nuance that logs should be buried with the top in the ground, since water rises from the roots along the trunk to avoid early rotting of the tree. The error needs to be corrected, given that there is a pond nearby. Each support should be dug out separately to the level of the end face, build a fire at the bottom or treat the surface with a gas burner. Good luck!

Just discovered this channel absolutely love it . One thing for sure. Never ever listen to a forest management guy. You were right, if ya need a tree, take one. Those guys have nothing more to say other than cut them. Also, dead trees are important to the ecosystem. Leave as many as you can, as long as you can, until you really really need it. As far as the underbrush goes, and keeping it cleaned up and safe from fire🔥, 10 chickens will clear that under brush out, in one summer.

What a fun and gorgeous build!!!❤❤💓💓💖💖 Not only will the kid inside most adults love it, but so will almost every kiddo who ever sees it!!! Add enough space for a mini fridge and a small wash station that can hold a weeks worth of food above and/or below and maybe a small non perishable box tucked in tight to bottom of the cube floor, and I could live there forever!!!!

This is how you build. There is so much right about this. 😍👍 Starting with an outstanding design with dimensions that afford the builder to not have to cut any material eliminating scrap and waste, from top down it is well thought out with flawless execution. The devil is in the details as they say and although this is merely a cube, this small building is still literally a masterpiece. 😎🤙

@@ModernSelfReliance I have followed you for a couple years and I actually watched this before in pieces, but every once in a while you just get in the mood to tune out all the mainstream propaganda and watch some wholesome creation. Among other factors your material selection, attention to detail, and modern understanding of building envelopes cements you as one of my favorite youtubers of all time. Not to get too heavy but content like yours helps me stay sober. No pressure(!). ☺😏 Thanks for the reply. Keep going. 🙏 PS No, I did NOT know that about the 16' plywood. Huge trees are definitely and sadly a dying breed. It really makes you think. And I would have also used OSB for the floor like you did, it is sandwiched after all. Again, good use of resources in my opinion. Your practicality and vision are some of your greatest gifts, in addition to your friendship. Take care.

@ModernSelfReliance. You should use metal flashing on the chimney pipe on the roof termination. The rubber will most likely expand and contract and act like a syphon for water and air. The pressure differentiation will cause this. Termination height is also very important so embers don't ignite combustibles on the roof. And again rubber should not be used for chimney flashing (this is SUPER important). In a worse case scenario like during a chimney fire the temp can exceed 1800° inside the chimney connectors/pipe. Problems can then exponentially manifest. I'm not currently in the industry but I have several years of chimney sweeping and installs under my belt. I know this isa tiny stove but the fire inside it is real and physics are still in play. I would also modify some other things but that's just me. Unlisted stoves need special attention. They don't go through any testing for clearances to combustibles and such.

I have always thought that one of the primary detractors of having a wood interior was the resulting dark space and the illusion of an even smaller size. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the use of drywall. Plus it is cheap!

The burning routine is Japanese, so obviously a different type of tree on Japan. I've seen some builders do the burning method in Canada snd Alaska. ALWAYS remove bark off ALL tree posts !!!
