For your viewers, one thing that would be better is to apply siding after the wall frames are stood up. The sheet siding should extend below the wall bottom plate and be fastened to the rim joist on this type of construction. It ensures no water will seep under the bottom plate.

This is a consideration we had as we were building and it is an oversight. I wish I didn't miss this detail. It will be in one of my future videos about what I wish I did different.

Nice build, just built a 10 X 12 cabin. Got everything from my local lumberyard except the the steel prehung door and two windows from Lowe's. It cost $2,200 for everything, but I have a power station with solar panels and no wires in the walls. I did nothing that required a building permit. A 10X12 with no power or water going to it requires no permit where I live.

That's so awesome! It's very cool you didn't need a building permit for anything. No power or water requires no inspections here in MN, but permits vary greatly by the county & region. Glad to hear you have your own little piece of property!

Just found this. Cool that you’re able to do this with your dad. I’d love to be able to do that, but my parents have been gone 43 and 25 years now. We still have our farm, and have made a number of improvements to bring it back to a state we’re satisfied our parents would be smiling. Nine years ago, we had a 10x16’ cabin built in the woods, half lofted like yours but with a hipped and higher ridge. I called it our permanent tent, as the site had been our deer camp for years. Then 7 years ago, our parents’ house burned. It was about a quarter mile north of the dry cabin and had been rented most of the time since Mom moved to town. Anyway, we had the guy who built the cabin put up an 18x32’ cabin, also half lofted and hipped roof, on a slab, and extended the slab enough to move the little cabin adjacent to the big one. Electricity, water, and septic from the original house were tied in. While it was going up, I salvaged corrugated metal and wood from a hoghouse a couple hundred yards away and also cleared a 1950s vintage farrowing house down to the concrete. It was inside and about half the area in a 25x75’ shed, so we used the salvaged materials to close in the two open sides of the concrete. We extended power and water to that space for a really functional shop. With that and a lot of earthwork and gravel, the place is attractive and efficiently functional. In the years since, we’ve gathered there for a base camp while we did fence maintenance and other projects. It’s farther away than I’d like, but the time there is pretty gratifying. Sunrises and sunsets are often magical.

My only thing to add is DON'T MOVE TO TENNESSEE! This place SUCK'S! From the 10% sales tax (yup you heard right) to the 2500$ dollars a month 1 Bedroom apartments and 1000$ a month just to rent a ROOM and share a house with 3 other strangers. This is NOT meant for those in the lower class nor the lower middle.....hell I'd argue even the straight up just middle class. If your not upper middle then your gonna be check to check. Don't get me started with the property taxes either you won't believe me. Now I know some on here will have an opinion that I just haven't been "around" and don't know but let me shed some light. I do construction inspection and have literally chased the money and worked for 24 years now and I've lived in 17 States so far (I use 5 months as the minimum for being able to say that I lived there and not just visited). I've been from FL (Miami) all the way to Elmira NY upstate (and numerous other places within the same state sometimes and not just new states). Did you know you can get a HOUSE in Florida BEACHSIDE for way, way, way less than a house in Tennessee that sit's around pastures of Cow sh!t with literally nothing to do but work 24/7? Were talking a whopping 30%-40% cheaper to buy and I'd say 25% to 50% depending on where your at for rent ( a location in Daytona Beach somewhere). I mean with all the things open 24 hours in FL to do for fun like Mini Golf at 3 A.M. or pavilion rides, movie theater you can order real food/BEER in to a table and not just getting candy (awesome). Or of course the beach but hey why would you ever give all that up for rude wealthy people who think they are better and most will even tell you that, also for an ultra Liberal dreamland where the old Mayor PAID the homeless to take a Bus anywhere out of the state as long as they stayed gone (yup these people are that brazen. Will look dead at you like "What did I say something"). Your neck high among Cow's, horses which are cool for about an hour until you ask how much to ride them then watch the people act as if your about to ride the actual Secretariat (horse people will get it). There is nothing here but bad smells, disgusting attitudes, and the worst of the worst..........................Garth Brooks!!!!!..................................YUK! SO I warned you if you come near here just do yourself a favor and when you see the state border just go around your not missing anything but about 10,000 and that's only if you do decide to come through!

@@jackbounder6374 sorry, over 300 years of heritage in these hills, Scots, Irish, Cherokee. But I understand what your saying. But if you already own your property and everything you can see it's really not too bad. The reason that things are so high is that imports from other states have moved in and driven the prices of everything through the roof. Land, homes, rent, insurance ect. A few years ago we didnt have all this caviar dreams on a catfish means people here. It's the outsiders moving in that caused all this outrageous price implosion. A few year ago you could buy an acre of land for $400, now thanks to imports, new people wanting to buy a house, cant even afford the land. So if you want to blame someone here, blame the outsiders these idiots put into office just to make themselves rich, because they'd already bought up a lot of property and houses when they first bee bopped into our beautiful state.

Quick suggestion before you close in the wall on the interior from your generator outlet to the first outlet inline, I would suggest running another line in to be able to hook up a power bank to the entire shed and then be able to avoid making a dead man's cord. You could just have one outlet coming in from the generator that you plug into, then have a similar plug on the outside inside the house that you plug in a loop while the generator is running or just run everything off of a power bank and then you can either charge the power bank directly off the generator whenever generator is running
@ArtOfWoodCraft6 ай бұрын
Trying to figure out exactly the way you are suggesting this. Do you mean to have an extra cable in the box? I may already be ahead of ya on that one if so. I don't think we have a dead man's cord problem yet, but don't want to either! We were thinking to put some type of electrical panel on too.
@waylonhartwell6 ай бұрын
@@ArtOfWoodCraft yeah I guess it's a bit confusing. Basically an easy way to do it would be to install another generator plug on the inside but have that one as your first in line to feed the entire electrical system inside of the shed. But have the same generator plug you have on the outside feeding one or two plugs on the inside as sort of an extension cord built in to the cabin. Which would then be able to give you the option to plug in power banks to charge When the generator is running and then simply unplug the cabin from one of the power banks and plug it into the generator plug. Then you'd have power off the generator and you're charging the battery banks. I know that some power packs offer pass through power but I think the ones I saw are smaller ones that don't offer that
@waylonhartwell6 ай бұрын
So basically it would go from the generator to the generator plug you have installed on the outside of the cabin than from there to your generator. Only plugs on the inside of the cabin. And then from there you use a separate cord and plug into the generator generator only plug on the inside then take the other end and plug it into the generator. Feed plug you installed on the inside to feed the rest of the power to the interior power of the shed. And then when you're without the generator, you just unplug it from the generator. Only plug and plug into your power bank and everything is inside and dry

Did you have to pull permits? What county are you in?

Hi. Just found your channel. Great job on the build. What does your dad have for his permanent shelter?

Thank you! My dad has a cabin semi off-grid. I made a very interesting video about it on my channel. It's the first video that plays when you visit my page. Hope you enjoy it!
