4 Simple Cabins ... Anyone Can Build

[@jimsteele7108]

Crazy how I don’t have the attention span to sit through a Hollywood movie these days. But when Dave puts out a video, he has 100% my attention.

[@Bushradical]

I appreciate that

[@Chrissycaretti]

@@jimsteele7108 same!

[@soneeah3832]

True.

[@sneakersonfeet9045]

I feel the same exact way!

[@donaldhofman5257]

I wait very impatiently for your videos! I sometimes have to go back and watch some of your older ones!

[@WSBM]

Dave, you're just flat out one of the best content creators that helps people learn to build on their own. Your explanations and teaching style are easy to understand and you have such an easy to listen voice. The fact that you can play guitar takes you up yet another notch. Great work, man. Thanks for all you do.

[@Bushradical]

Wow, thanks!

[@LainieSunshine]

I’ve watched the long versions of every one of you and Brooke’s builds thru the years Dave, and I watched this one from start to finish. I’ll never be in a position to build one of these cabins/tiny homes, but by watching your videos I’m totally confident I could! Thanks for years of great content!

[@nanachick05]

I have to 1000% agree with you! He makes things so easy to understand.

Well said!! He really has a voice that is pleasant to listen, he's very knowledgeable.

Who in their "right mind" wouldn't love this guy's lifestyle? I think there are more people today than there has been in the last 100 years that's craving this type of life to get back to the basics.

[@jonathantrusty116]

I have probably watched every video you have put out multiple times! You are a true inspiration to a lot of people!

Yesss...!

[@tylerhoward2703]

i know, i hate to put pressure on the dude, i mean how many cabins does one build but dang, im ready for another one!!!!

[@mshaw722]

Sitting here in New England, I am incredibly jealous of how you can just dig a simple hole in the ground to drop a post. That is amazing.

[@switchblade5847]

Where I live, I stumble on the clay after digging for only 1 foot. Don't know if thats a bad thing or not

[@thekiwisage]

@@switchblade5847i stumble on clay. just in general it's everywhere just laying around here in giant clumps, i could make pottery from the soil i stand on

[@rangerdanger10]

Why is it hard to believe different parts of the country have different soils and landscapes? Did you not have science or global studies?

[@carlmclelland7624]

Dave, this is one of Thee Best shows you've done yet!!! I wouldn't say you showed us a ton of... new things... but showing clips from all four cabin builds, and why you did unique things in each build was both informative and educational. You do something else that I approve of... you show us how to save money. Keep up the good work, and Thank You, sir!

[@Bushradical]

thanks!

[@briancarroll8382]

Feel like I’m watching “This Old House” with your videos. It’s just enjoyable to watch

[@cherylstaples1790]

Yeah! I enjoyed this. I didn't realize how much critical thinking and math is involved.

[@mygarden365]

Better than the old this old house before they went woke

[@Codyshaulis]

I thoroughly enjoy your content more than any other KZbinr. What sets you apart is how you don't advertise to push an agenda. You advertise what you buy and use and don't push a product on us! I love it. Keep being authentic. It's sets you above everyone else. Also, you're a heck of a teacher!!

[@Bushradical]

I appreciate that!

[@billiegoodman4872]

Great, Dave! Don’t forget in your building supplies to include a brilliant, hard working wife. You two are unbelievable collectively or individually. Stay mighty!!

[@rslr]

I bet this video blows up .... KZbinrs love DIY cabin videos. Nice work!

[@zakarynichols75]

I find myself referencing multiple of your cabin builds. Appreciate you putting them all together in one easy to find place.

[@Bushradical]

Glad you like them!

[@bobashmore6442]

You could have a career as a voice over narrator. I am no longer in any condition to ever build a cabin. Yet I clicked on this video immediately and watched it all the way through. Why? Because I knew I was going to learn a lot and enjoy doing it. Thanks again for the entertainment and knowledge.

Started my little cabin build up in Moran Michigan just south of Trout Lake. I am absolutely going to be using pattern 116 tongue and groove. And more than likely, I will keep buying my stuff at Menards in Gaylord on my way up to the property from down here in southwest Michigan. I sure do love watching your videos. They have inspired me to get property and build a nice little place to get away from the hustle and bustle down here.

[@ronaalexander825]

Thank you for supporting our businesses in Gaylord!! It is a great place to live! ❤

[@chrisguess5]

I can't wait to build my first cabin! Im going with 12 x 20 using your videos as inspiration.

[@WilliamRichards-ut1hk]

A lifetime of content packed into one hour. So much to do I’ll never die. Thanks Dave and Brooke.

[@lisaoliver1428]

I am so grateful for you and Brooke. I am 60, divorced and on my own. I use you guys to help me plan for the what ifs. Thanks you both for your channels!

[@mightyminifarm]

You inspired me to build a cabin in northwest Alabama. Finished out the interior with tongue and groove, built a ladder out of 2x4’s like you demonstrated in one of your videos to reach our loft. Can’t wait to spend time in it this fall. I owe of a lot of my ability to watching your videos. So thanks for being a good teacher, I really appreciate your videos.

[@stevemorris3710]

Thanks for a super and very informative video Dave. Also extra gratitude for not selling out, once producers squander their soul and start peddling endless power stations and e-bikes, their integrity is gone and I stop following them.

[@Bushradical]

Well said

[@stevestory8483]

Awesome video. Would really love to see a video on squaring the cabin and the math involved. You make everything so easily understandable

[@novascotiagaragegrower3462]

Great timing. This will be a great video. Cheers Dave!

[@nicolaebulgaru]

Excelent video for solo diy buders. I had to learn all this from mistakes. Greetings from romania!

[@billyb.9878]

Thank you much Dave. Very in- formative. I'm hunting in Hillman and the cabins are block, mouse infested and hard to sleep in. I'm old (72) but my partner and I could build one like ya got in MI. Thank you again.

[@karagalactic]

Your videos help fill the hole i have from not having a dad in my life. You have a very peaceful grounding energy in your videos, and im so grateful for them ❤

I'm watching while just chilling while eating soup in my apartment in a major city, with zero imminent plans to build anything at all in the near future

[@5990babygraceblue]

I’ve been wanting to build a little off grid cabin for a long time- this video is inspiring and makes it look so possible!

[@TB-dj8kl]

I'm almost done building a mini cabin on a 12 by 8 and 1/2 snow mobile trailer, metal roofing (green) and (brown) metal roofing exterior, r15 insulation for the ceiling, 2 inch foam for the walls and the floor, and 1/4 plywood interior walls with trim. Gonna urethane everything, add a tent wood stove and power it with an extension cord. I don't have land so the plan is to put it in the back yard in the woods. This as good as it gets for me but happy to have what I have.

[@saltytbone]

Inspirational as always! It's funny that as you jumped from cabin to cabin I kept changing my mind which one is my favorite. The black cabin has the unfair advantage of that view.

[@martinjohncameron]

I've watched all your build videos and this was a nice (and interesting) reminder of the processes, tips and recomendations. (Also good to see you preparing a nice filling meal with coffee at the end - I'd get a wood stove just for that!) Thank you for this.

[@CarveLife]

I did my layout the other day from your videos. Perfect timing for some motivation to get back at it!

[@sharonglazier2552]

You and Brook are great. Beautiful work.

[@clovermark39]

Would love to build a cabin even if it’s to go in my small yard! Love all your videos.

Awesome work Dave. Love your videos. It’s a true inspiration to be honest. I just bought raw land in Tennessee that has a lot of pine. My plan is to build a small cabin. Thank you again for the videos

[@rolandlewis2356]

Hi Dave, I've enjoyed watching your projects over the years. My wife and I remember watching your wife go to the black cabin on a winter's day with her toboggan (supplies) and her dog. I'll never have a cabin. I stopped driving in March of 1988 because of medical reasons. But we really enjoyed your videos. Take care. Roland

[@iamblaineful]

We are finishing up on our cabin, a weekend play cabin in the woods in the mountains. Built on a steep hillside for the views and powered by solar & LiFePo4 batteries. Wood stove and a diesel heater for winter. It's a 2 story with a main floor deck about 8 feet up. We have a well on the property about 400' away, so that's the next project, get water to the cabin so we don't have to keep bringing it with us. I've built a lot of things, but I don't do it for a living, just sketched up a plan on a notepad, got the wife's buy off on layout, and we started building it. Tons of fun. We are in our 50s with older kids, anyone can do it if this is what they want, and built by just you and your spouse on the weekends.

[@oldyooper28]

Great video Dave! Love your KISS ( keep it simple stupid ) way of doing things.

Nice ... I still catch details and tips each time I watch these. I recalled the great wire-mesh idea, but the flashing application to keep out the mice was something I must have missed the first time through. And when you said Brooke's "Writer's Getaway" cabin was built four years ago ... I was shocked at just how quickly the years have passed! Great addition to your instructional video series, Dave ... thank you so much for sharing what you've learned. What a blessing! God Bless you and yours ... See you down the road :)

Great video, thanks, When you were fitting 8inch insulation between the floor joists rather than crawling underneath to fit the ply to the bottom of the rafters you could fit strips of say 4-5 inch wide ply to the underneath of the floor joists before fitting them then use this to support the draw technique shown earlier.

[@Sweet-Aloha]

You won’t be disappointed. I built a cabin and porch in my back yard. I’m hardly ever in my real house.

[@vonheise]

I can't swear that I watched each of these cabins being built originally but pretty sure. I know I watched the one with the tree in the deck, and the other smaller one, but I have watched them all since the TV show, and want to go further back at some point. I just wish other KZbinrs put half the effort into great videography and editing as Dave does. He even takes time to help others like "Jay and Jen".
