Clever to make the access wheelchair-friendly.

[@buildlife]

I think there is a real need for it in the short term rental market

[@teetime111]

Very nice, man!

[@buildlife]

Thanks Brian!

[@gud2go50]

You know it always pains me to see people's hard work and past dreams get torn down, but to see what you did to it in the end is very inspiring. Out with the old and in with the new, I suppose. I hope you enjoy your new place for generations to come. But you know someone in the future will probably be doing the same thing to your hard work in the distant future. We are all just passing through this place anyway. Nice job!

[@buildlife]

Very true. I have a habit of fixing up "tear downs" Probably done a dozen of them now. Makes me feel good and we do it well enough that the next guy will have something to work with (hopefully) Thanks for watching!

[@ednahowell407]

what kind of lumber did you use on the ceiling for all the cabin? -just beautiful.

[@buildlife]

Thanks, it's pine from a company in Michigan. It has "blue" streaks that is considered an imperfection in it. I really like it too!

[@ilfred6857]

The house is truly wonderful: I would say a dream house. The only doubt I have is the mound next to the house: in case of heavy rain, could there be a risk of the house being flooded?

[@buildlife]

Thanks! There is a swail or a ditch on the uphill side of the house that channels the water around it so we have not had any problems.

[@ilfred6857]

@@buildlife Okay, great thing.

[@lukemccardle2379]

Nice remodel is this in Tennessee?

[@buildlife]

Thanks! South Eastern Kentucky

[@philgriswold2133]

It turned out very nice, but then I knew it would from watching your videos. Plenty of skilled craftsman can build a great project, but the ability to add the special touches takes it to the next level. Wood on the poach deck? It almost looked like poplar, but I can't imagine that lasting long. I also thought cedar, but that doesn't seem right either. What did you use?

[@buildlife]

Thanks Phil, I know you've been here since before we started! We used pressure treated southern yellow pine on the deck and framing but the rails are poplar with a treated top rail. Got poplar out of the woods so price was right if I have to replace a few spindles down the road.

[@JohnBraman413]

do you sell any of the properties that you renovate?

[@buildlife]

No this is part of my retirement plan. They are all on the same two parcel numbers too so wouldn't be able to split them up. Thanks for watching!

[@jbro8351]

IS The spray foam flamable isf so at what rate and temp...and is smoke TOXIC,...

[@buildlife]

It is no more so than other materials. I believe all smoke is toxic to differing degrees. It is substantially better insulation so obviously we don't plan on a fire but it does a way better job reducing emissions from over use of utilities to control climate so it should come out ahead from a footprint stand point.

[@squeedum4893]

The music makes me feel like we're about to discover a dead body. Great build!

[@buildlife]

That was the feeling through most of the build too!

[@kevincain2697]

Add a 2 bed1 bath house shed to the back side .So it would be a 3 bed 2 bath cabin.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@buildlife]

I got one of those too! That's the Squatch Hollow cabin you'll find in other videos. After lot's of research I found the smaller ones rent better and obviously way less money to build or remodel. That one rents 2-1 compared to our bigger one and it's only $30 a night less! Thanks for watching!

[@johntatman9168]

How long did this project take?

[@buildlife]

It took us about 6 months we worked about a week out of each month.

[@joelow3793]

What price dose it have ?

[@buildlife]

cost to build or to rent?

[@joelow3793]

@@buildlife to build

[@buildlife]

I purchased the land and the cabin for about $35,000 (would be quite a bit more now) and we probably spent upwards of $55,000 to gut and remodel the cabin. I would say all in we are pretty close to $100,000. If a fella were to do themselves or get friends to help for fun you could bring that number down quite a bit. The heat pump and HVAC system alone was about $12,000 of that.

[@joelow3793]

@@buildlife thank you

[@vandalorian8777]

Nice job but I would have thought it would’ve been easier and perhaps cheaper to tear it down and rebuild
