First Walk Inside the Off Grid Cabin

[@stephenknipe175]

Susan and I just discovered all that Danny and Wanda have offered with all their videos to help all of us that want to “unplug” and get back to what America is all about and what God intended. A joyous addition to our lives !!

[@IngeLyck]

it looks beautiful. May the Lord protect you home.

[@beverlymichael5830]

I would never want to leave it. Beautiful.

[@missmamtube]

Shalom! Congratulations on your new Off Grid Cabin. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful property! Blessing to you and yours.

[@TheKamakuraGardener]

I enjoy your wonderful accent and impeccable diction! I’ve been a broadcast journalist for 43 years and wish I could hear more voices like yours on air! I envy your wonderful lifestyle! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@underhiswings9294]

What a beautiful cabin. You are very blessed to have the ability to build this on your own.

[@Chill_Lil]

Looks beautiful. I had to laugh when you said you couldn't stand up in the loft because it was only 55" or so. I AM so short I could scoot right through there without hitting the ceiling. Lol. Really good job on the cabin.

[@isapsa45]

Danny you might want to go ahead and wire it with cat five wire because someday you may want to have a computer in there

[@lesleyharris3198]

The cabin is looking great, very spacious for a small house.

[@bueford668]

I made my ceilings 10' as well it sure dos make a difference being 6' 5' and my wife love the rooms. You are great contractor Danny.

[@tubularguynine]

Very spacious and well laid out. And the fireplace should keep it toasty in the winter! 👍🏻❤️📹

[@jrhayes10]

You've really done a nice floorplan and layout. I really like the wrap-around porch and the way you have the fireplace on the outside of the cabin. Very nice work and craftsmanship. keep it up.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Danny, you are a very talented man and you have built a beautiful cabin. I hope you and Wanda can enjoy it for many years to come. It is a very peaceful setting.

[@cherylodonnell6050]

It's beautiful Danny. I hope you and Wanda have many years of enjoyment there.

[@pineknotfamilyfarm5020]

Love the wood box idea. And the 9’ ceiling make all the difference.

[@mfahrney1]

It's beautiful! Happy 2020!

[@juliefromgeorgia9884]

Looks great. What a nice place to relax the candy corn cabin will be.

[@missmable6015]

Oh Wow, that's a beautiful cabin. I can't wait to see it when it's completely finished. You are truly blessed Danny & Wanda with such a gorgeous cabin & so many acres of land. God bless you both.

[@barbaracarter9120]

Love it. It’s beautiful

[@alfredmerriam2104]

Looks nice Danny and Wanda and I see a lot of thought went to the design of your cabin. I pray that you enjoy it for a long time

[@KaleidoscopeJunkie]

This looks perfect. The hard work really shows. High ceilings and wrap around porches are some of the ways Southerners kept cool before AC.

[@onedazinn998]

Oh well done! :) How lovely & that porch and picture window is my favorite.

[@mzbreski]

That’s a great looking cabin. Love the open ceiling and loft. Looks like you have a great piece of land also.

[@midgeb.2863]

Looking awesome! Thanks for sharing! Lots of great ideas, especially the wood door!

[@trackerboy112]

I am having the best time following your cabin build. 9 years ago I built my 16' by 7' tiny cabin in my woods and am now planning to use your design to build a bigger place. Thinking I'll go a tad bigger at 32' by 20'. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@bumblebee7922]

Oh, how BEAUTIFUL your cabin is! Thanks for the tour...... Such a lovely, cozy, place and I adore the low windows, and large windows as I love the feeling of being outside. SO happy for both of you...

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

Thank you so much for the tour of your beautiful cabin. Love the 9 foot high ceilings it does make it look so much bigger wow. Your craftsmanship is fantastic both inside and outside. Happy New Year and God bless you both.

[@cathymcgaw3586]

That's going to be absolutely beautiful. 👍👍♥️

[@PlanetMojo]

We built a 24 x 28 foot homestead in 2011, and we did 9' ceilings as well. It absolutely keeps the place from looking claustrophobic. We also super insulated, and it takes very little to heat or cool the place. Look forward to checking out some more of your videos!

[@uprepper1316]

You guys did a fantastic job on the cabin. I'm currently building my cabin 25x25 so yes enjoy the fruits of all your labors. God bless

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

It looks very spacious. Nice work. Blessings! 🙏😃

[@gaylerenteria9946]

Love, Love, and more Love...simple and lovely...maybe turn the work room into a giant pantry!!! Just thinking what I might do!!! God Bless!

[@rockinpranch10]

Wow what a lovely cabin. You are a very talented builder. God bless you & Wanda in your new year

[@sunkisshomesteadgardens9997]

You've done a great job on your cabin it looks fantastic it's going to be gorgeous when you're done with it. That was smart of you to put the wood where it's Easley accessed.

[@larrybell4599]

Thank you for the tour. You have built a nice cabin.

[@OutWestHomestead]

Thanks for the inside tour. It was fun looking around. I like the wood box idea. Loading it up from the outside.👍

[@Angela-zf8sn]

Love the deep over hang of the porch ceiling and the depth of the porch...ceiling height does make all the difference! Low ceilings cause log cabin fever real quick😂 ...My favorite is that huge window! To me windows are everything let's in lots of light great views and feel like your out doors when your indoors also you know when you got company before they ever get out of the vehicle you see em coming lol Great job Beautiful cabin!😊👍

[@christiebetts4970]

Looking fantastic!My grandaddy had a woodbox like that where you just opened a door in the house to get the wood

[@casualpreparedness2347]

That's an Awesome place. It looks like it's going to be a cozy getaway. Excellent Video As Always. 💯👍👍😎

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

Greetings from Australia my friends. Your doing a really great job. Xx God bless you both

[@bennapier9260]

Really like the cabin. We live in South Mississippi as well. I've been scouting our woods lately look for a good place to put a small off grid camping cabin with my limited carpentry knowledge for us and the grandkids. Just somewhere to go and feel like we're far into the woods.

[@juliamclaughlin1793]

It looks perfect! Love the floor plan.

[@riversideacres8853]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. You will enjoy it as you grow older.

[@SandysAdventures]

Thank you for the tour. You both have done a great job on the cabin. I love seeing your dreams come to fruition.

[@denisebrady6858]

What an amazing cabin your really have thought about what you are doing- you should never be envious of others but Boy I am as that looks like the most amazing home/retreat I have ever seen- well done guys & you deserve it as an awful lot of hard work is going into this beautiful place. Cheers Denise - Australia

[@charmainemontgomery582]

Very nice design & awesome cable 😊

[@jayfromtexas6718]

Beautiful! Can’t wait to start ours. “Momma ain’t 100% on board yet but I’m working on her😊

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Love. You guys are making good progress. Happy 2020. 🏠🚪📪🖼

[@HomesteadHopefulTara]

I love the high ceilings, but my dad and husband would definitely argue that it would be too hard to keep heated and cooled. They both hate high ceilings for that reason. I love how they look, though. They do make things so much roomier. Reminds me of the cabin my grandfather built when I was a kid, and I helped him dig holes for fence posts and hammer nails. I was supposed to inherit it, but sadly he remarried and upon her insistence they sold it and moved out west and she got everything when he passed away. She can keep it all. I just wish I had my Papa back.

[@misty4782]

Oh Danny, that cabin is just gorgeous. I was so surprised at how big is looks inside. Your layout really makes it look spacious. Absolutely a magnificent job.Curious as to where the stove and fridge are going to be. You certainly did yourselves proud and are deserving of all the enjoyment you're getting from it, even now, and in the future. God bless.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We are going to have an old fashioned ice box instead of a fridge. It's off grid.

[@misty4782]

Oh, oops. Yah...off grid. Forgot. But where is the ice box going to be?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Its going under the stairs.

[@misty4782]

Thank you. PS. I'm can't get over that you read & reply to the comments in such a timely manner with your days filled with chores & projects. God bless.

[@joyreardon1898]

Oh my goodness ❤️ Happy New Year!! 👍💕👍👍💕

[@pbudinsky1]

You did a great job on that cabin it’s just beautiful! we have a wraparound porch as well and it goes around all four sides. The back is amazing because the The way they positioned the house the breeze blows through there almost every day in the summertime. We live in Mississippi too but North Mississippi, it’s super hot here in the summer but I know not as hot as where you live. Enjoy that porch!!!

[@wyllamendoza8866]

Great looking cabin. 👏👏👏👍💖

[@lorettaoverholt4049]

This is so we'll thought out and such great use of space. That picture window is a beautiful feature and gives you all the outdoor space too, visually. Love the wood system. You could have another bedroom in that storage space. So in 30 some feet you could have a 2 bedroom house plus all that loft space could sleep a lot of kids,plus play space. That's amazing. Nothing seems cramped with the built ins. I love the large porch too.

[@eileenpalumbo6578]

Beautiful job Danny. What a blessing. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevehall9256]

You are the first prepper I have seen that's also a good carpenter. Good job

[@suzannefronzaglio2427]

How far is this divine cabin from your main living space (home) now? It's just beautiful. We had a cabin when I was young, that my Dad built on a half acre on a hillside above a lake. He used a lot of reclaimed/salvaged building materials (big white light fixture from a nearby high school that was being razed. Real wood tongue and groove flooring from an old house that was being torn down. We had a floor to ceiling huge picture window too, like yours here (that too was salvaged, but I can't remember where he got it from). The picture window faced the lake... and the cabin had a 'wrap-around' covered porch that was on 3 sides of the cabin. Extra wide porch in the front, facing the lake, so they could put lounge type chairs to sit in the evening and look at the lake and listen to the bullfrog chorus that was a nightly event. One time our grandparents were up the cabin with us for a weekend, and we ALL slept outside on that porch one hot summer night! (& it wasn't screened or closed-in. Lovely memories. You and Wanda are going to have wonderful memories with this cabin! ❤️

[@apollosmoon8658]

I really wish i had took up this profession instead of 25 plus years of military. Great job!

[@dirtpatcheaven]

Beautiful. Good job guys.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

You gotta come visit again. You will love the porch

[@grannyseyes4538]

Absolutely glorious. I can see your vision in every room. I have a suggestion for that room next to your bathroom. I'd make that the pantry/prep room, for harvest times. The perfect cabin for an amazing couple. Good Lord willing you shall have your dream. Love from eastern Tenn.

[@pattigsbh4392]

Beautiful place ❤ thank you for sharing

[@jeffhoyle7900]

I like the layout of your cabin

[@jannahuntamed3422]

Beautiful. I cant wait to see future videos of the love and work you put into this cabin. I pray the acreage around your cabin stays untouched. Hope you have a blessed 2020. ❤

Total bliss! Good job 👏🏻

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Looking very beautiful

[@growingtexas1772]

This is so nice! I'm trying to get DH to downsize to something similar, but without the loft. We have a 2 story house right now and with my RA, stairs are difficult for me.

[@nancyates9822]

Happy New Year!! Love the cabin tour! It's so nice I know y'all will be glad to have it finished like you want it! God bless!!

Beautiful job

[@prairiegirlcowboyhomestead5876]

Loved the cabin tour! Its beautiful!!

[@karenmarshall7056]

Add some cabinets above the headboard

[@azaleaacres]

First thought - make it easy on yourself - use the space behind the stairs as a closet (hang cloths with a few lower drawers maybe a shelf above. Leave the under bed space for linens and towels. Things you won’t access as often. Great progress 👍🏼

[@thelazyj8658]

Mighty fine!

[@evamyrick9803]

Hi, In your loft are you going to build in at least one drawer in between the studs down the wall at the base of the short walls Or box in between the studs on the short walls and add doors. That would utilize that small area for storage. We did that on an attic we turned into a room. I redid a camper that had a eating booth. I removed the booth and designed and built a fold down table and placed smaller size swivel type real chairs on each side of the table when i let it down. I used what is called piano hinge to were the table hooked to the wall. It gave us a lot more comfortable space in the camper. We built a 16 by 58 foot cabin and found out we had to add on a 12x12 ft room on one side. That meant cutting into the roof to connect the two properly so it didn't look like an after thought. There just wasn't enough space in the 58 feet to have a full size kitchen with a large up right freezer. To accommodate our large furniture, my library, computers and my husband musical instruments. Since the kitchen was on one end and the bedroom and bathroom was on the other we opted for on demand electric water heaters. No water lines running every where. Just a simple cold water line that connected to each water heater. Nice cabin, can't wait to see it finish. You have done a good job.

[@robineggblue-bp3rq]

Do you have roofing paper between your subfloor layers? I am having problems with moisture coming up through my floor and wondered if this would help. I had one layer of Advantec tongue and groove, and put down thin lauan and filled the cracks. I think this has helped somewhat but think the roofing paper would have been a great idea.

[@brucechakur9431]

I love your Cabin danny it Wil be a warm and cozy home Jackie in north fl

This is a wonderful cabin. I haven't seen too many of your videos, so have you showed us your working on it? Would love to see it. You mention a swamp....what about mosquitoes! Or are you used to them down there?

We have an OFF GRID CABIN BUILD playlist that shows us working on the cabin. We don't have mosquitos very often.
