[@bonesbigfoot2654]

Thanks Karl for explaining more. I really like the natural light coming in from the top of the garage.

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

It runs down into a gully. Good job on setting your home and garage. Very lovely both of them. Like the ramp and the rock in the front. Wow that ridge cap is awesome great idea.

[@vivianwilliams2216]

It sounds like you were prepared for your two sheds, looking forward to seeing the interior walls and fixtures installed! 😊👍

[@FeedScrn]

Good video. Thank you for going back from last weeks video and explaining your foundation philosophy.

[@blklbluvr]

Mice can chew through the rubber seal on the bottom edges of the garage door. I’ve stuffed steel wool in it to stymie the mice.

Oh my things have changed a lot around here in a hurry. 👍. Beautiful video brother. Yes the water won’t be an issue for you for sure. It looks like it was in a bowl in the last video

John Fleury Now your thinking. I am collecting the rain water for flushing my toilet etc.

[@suedavis681]

Just found your channel and I am looking forward to watching the inside take shape. Went back and watched from the time you made the decision on the Miller's construction for your cabin. Loved the story of your wife's healing and especially watching you and your two young men getting ready for delivery. It looks like I just may be the only female commenter but it won't bother me if it doesn't bother you. I'm anxious to see what touches your wife will bring to the build out and I can hardly wait to see how your family enjoys such a wonderful place to build memories. Looking forward to more!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thank you so much for your support this journey has been absolutely crazy. I appreciate the time you take to watch these videos

[@humanityincvideos5114]

That composite thing is dope Show us the boats tho lol

[@PlanetMojo]

I'm going to have to go back and find the off grid hot shower one. Our solution was four 125' black hoses. We gradually added niceties (like walls) then finally broke down and got a propane heater. I finally tore it down a couple of years ago (getting rotten), but will be putting a claw-foot tub in the next one 😊

The structures come out of Hayward, yes? Great value for what you get for sure!

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

They came out of Cecil / Shawano area but I’m sure that the Amish have them set up by Hayward too.Last time I was in Hayward I thought I remembered seeing some thing similar around town. I’m sure they would ship them to Hayward

[@farmlifeoffgrid]

Love the Garage! We finished a 12x40 Derksen when we lived in Missouri, that place is loaded with termites and roaches and we never had any issues with it. The wood they use is pretty crazy, I left a cutt off outside from a window I installed for 2 years and it never swelled or rotted one bit.

[@ronsims3035]

Karl just found your Channel. My Wife and I live in a 14x40 tiny house 1bed 1bath pouch is half octagon with a 10 by 28 deck off the side. I put ours on a concrete slab blocked up 18in and insulated bored for skirting around the bottom. I don't know how they did your ridge cap on your house mine they just put tar paper across and left 11/2 gap for ventilation. Do not put any styrofoam for bird stop or insect and got a exterminator called them water ants little black ants move slow had to have them come and spray. Just a little FYI so you don't have that problem. But now we're in Tennessee on Norris Lake like you in the woods all alone. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours good luck.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Ron Sims Thank you so much for all the valuable information. I appreciate all the help that my subscribers offer. Welcome to the channel it’s great to have you with us. Go Nashville Predators!!! Best hockey team ever!

[@markconger8049]

Nice idea to have a garage for storage next to the cabin. I do have a thought about security of the garage. Even though there is a secure garage door and side door and there are no windows, the sheet metal outer covering is easily cut into to access the interior, so I’m wondering if it would be a good to insulate it between the studs and put up OSB as an interior wall covering. Those additions are a more significant deterrent to a thief because it is not as easy as cutting a hole in the sheet metal.

[@nimrod275]

If the turds want in they will get in no matter what you do. It’s sad but true. Use a few trail cameras around the property and inside your buildings in hopes it catches useful evidence to aid an investigation.

[@markconger8049]

Nim Rod - true. But if all it takes is a pellet rifle for the cameras and pair of metal sheers it’s too easy. Make the sucker work for it! LOL

[@carlschmiedeke151]

Nice job Karl

[@coolgrandma4952]

We would love a space like yours. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

[@scottsorter7]

great job on explanation

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thank you sir

[@deserthorizons]

If you haven't done your finished flooring yet,, put some double bubble reflectix down first.. I just did that on a recent video of my cabin and it makes a world of difference.. I even show what happens when you stand on a metal stool that is on the reflectix,, nothing.. It doesn't "pop" or give.. I live in southern Arizona and I also am worrying about it being cold.. I spray foam insulated myself though.. It is a beautiful pair of buildings and you can tell a lot of thought went into getting what you wanted..👍

[@williambroughman]

Just subscribed to you buddy, i really enjoy your videos.

[@WashingtonTuna]

Commented on part one. Im a lazy old man. I would have had the lift driver set it down on the blocks. Were you able to get block under the central floor areas? Still an awesome way to go!

[@thomasadams7795]

New subscriber. I really like the field stone in the front. Are you putting it all around. ?

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thomas thank you for subscribing! Once the ground is frozen I want to add a couple more concrete supports underneath the cabin and then I will finish putting more Field stone all the way around.I am considering putting some barrier underneath as well to keep anything from crawling underneath the cabin. Great question welcome to the channel

[@johnmine5609]

[@jimscardino2603]

Hey. Is that a tv antenna and end table combo? Looks nice and bright with the sky light!

[@jamesoncross7494]

Are you going to insulate the shed too? It will keep it cooler in the summer and make it quiet for you to use tools in there as well.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Oops. I just erased the last answer I am sorry I miss read your question. No I am not going to insulate the garage. In the future I am probably going to build a workshop and that I will insulate

[@WanderingWiley]

The buildings really look great sitting in there, water shouldn't be an issue.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Wandering Wiley Thank you

[@PromasterHOF]

You are going to need more insulation in the walls of your house. It looks like they sprayed a very light coat on those metal walls!

[@shadythereok]

Take off, take off to the great white north

[@BigDaddyPapaJ]

Great looking place! If you don't mind me asking, what's the weight the floor is rated for in the shed? I really like the matching pair. Looking forward to more videos.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Jonathan Odom i’m not sure of the exact weight but one of my friends has had one for three years and he parks a full-size Pick up truck in it. I only need it for storing some boats, A log splitter, and all-terrain vehicle. If I was looking to house larger equipment I would recommend a Regular garage

[@BigDaddyPapaJ]

@@karlsoffthegrid1378 I appreciate that info. I was thinking about buying one myself to put my pickup and my utv in but I wasn't sure if it would actually hold a truck or just lawnmowers and etc.

[@roberthillyard4234]

end to end

[@micealmacadaim6550]

You know, you could styrofoam blocks under the bottom of the cabin for insulation. That is something that is done in New Zealand to help retain the house heat. And it's pretty inexpensive. Just a thought 🙂.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Miceal Adams i’m way ahead of you. The floors have one and a half inches of foam board placed underneath them in between two pieces of weather treated plywood.Have a great day, be blessed

[@judithshorey2137]

Use some Irish Spring bar soap, cut up, and spread it around your garage. Mice and other critters don’t like the smell and will stay away. Plus it smells nice to humans and is cheap.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing I will definitely try it. Stay blessed

[@johnklenzak1001]

Karl, can you get your cabin in a 16 x 56 foot floorprint? I am wondering if you can get the two levels (main floor level and loft level) 8 foot high so you can have a regular stair case put in to access the second level? I probably will not build one myself but several family members are interested in their options.

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

john klenzak You can just about have it built to any size you want. Keep in mind, if you are having a cabin delivered it’s hard to transport a Taller cabin because of electrical wires over the road. If you choose to have them build it on your property then I don’t think it would be an issue

[@EXPmusic]

Love the series, thanks for filming. Do you have a price estimate for the garage and the house?

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

With all the extras: rodent guard, insulated floors, insulated lofts, insulated windows, tyvac wind wrapping, extra door, and offset framing (exterior walls only, prevents heat and cold transfer) The grand total for the cabin came in at about $9000. The garage was about $7000

[@EXPmusic]

@@karlsoffthegrid1378 not half bad, thanks for the info!

[@billmandaue2168]

You probably covered this earlier, but I just found your channel. Who did you buy your cabin and garage from? I was surprised to not see any links to their company website (I presume they have one).

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Thanks for watching. I got it from A company that is based in an amish community, there is no website. If you watch the video I made called “budget cabin ideas“ their phone number and address is at the end of the video. In this video I just wanted to share how the cabin was transported and delivered.

Logan I know you love the mosquitos that’s why you were able to see it!

[@mauricebrown9094]

I assume you are going to put some kind of rodent guard around your house as it was mentioned how important it was for your garage.??. You can by pass my question on the other video ., but it did look like the placement was much lower, I guess showing it that way you had much more questions for your channel though. Will you be having a water storage system ??

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

Maurice Brown The rodent guard for the cabin was done first. For water storage I am going to be collecting rainwater for the toilet and shower and I will be driving a Sandpoint well for the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink

I thought that was part of the idea being off grid was the security. We never worried about anyone when we lived on our farm 1 mile away from anyone but this is Southern West Virginia and the crime rate isn’t bad ....except for the drug addicts now but not bad at all. The only thing I have lost in over 50 years is a generator and it was sitting out with no chain or anything.
