Off-Grid Cabin Build | Constructing the Lower A-Frames

[@OG_Outdoorz]

What I saw today was not only a very well thought out plan and execution. But a great marriage tool. Seemed to really minimize the complaining and arguing. Well done, kudos to you both!

[@rogue5369]

Rewatching this, and I agree that I didn't think it was that tall until both of you were standing underneath the first one! That is the only thing I really don't like about an A frame, how short they are but that is so huge!

[@davidasimkosr4641]

The long anticipate building of the cabin has come true. It's unbelievable that of what you two have accomplished in lifting the heavy wood. Very proud of you all. 😅😅😅😅

[@djecminek]

Amazing work

[@Volusia1]

I don’t know the background of the majority of your audience but as a contractor for 40 years I’m often asked about truss angle and how we figure it out. Thanks to technology measuring rise/run for slope ratios and Pitch then using a construction calculator saves brain cells for sure. No more homemade protractors and plumbers bobs. Could be a good tutorial for a short for your viewers?❤

[@mrMacGoover]

Where our grandparents smarter than us? They used mathematics, a well trained mind...paper and pencil to figure it out. Ah the good old days.

[@chuckd5819]

Plumb bob. Plumbers had nothing to do with it 😂.

[@jefflinnell8492]

It's not rocket science. You can simply do it with a framing square , that's why they named that square a framing square

[@Volusia1]

@@jefflinnell8492 it may as well be rocket science to someone with no construction experience. You and I may know how to figure out angle from rise and run but most with no experience may not. My entire point

[@GarySmith-ki4ky]

So far you have done a great job, just the two of you, great work😅😅

[@JohnClaybaugh-w9n]

Great job, looking forward to the upper A build video.

Dam I always knew you two had a lot of grit. However this was truly a lot of work. You two had to have been sore building everything by yourselves. No complaining just working for the goal. Very impressive job. Just shows what you can do if you want something bad enough. Great video thank you for sharing your lives with us ❤.

[@patwilliams2161]

Wow! You two are doing a great job

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

That's really going to be so nice. I can't wait till the next video. Great job 👍

[@carolyngregory9354]

Wow, what great progress you two made on your cabin. The view will be awesome. Good job.

[@danmcdonagh8924]

You are doing a great job. At least your not shy on the fasteners. As a carpenter of almost 50 yrs. I enjoy watching. Thanks Dan in Alberta , Canada.😂

This build is an inspiration. Thanks for sharing the process. 10’ ceilings!!

Nice the cabin is on it way! How exciting for you guys 😊

[@KathyPetersonRealtor]

O, how this video takes me back apx 40 years. My husband and I built our cedar home together and had a wonderful time building. This video touches my heart and is so poignant. Enjoy each other and your youth. As wonderful as it is, it, too is fleeting. Yall are such an inspiration that I long to be young again ☺️☺️ May God continue to Bless you guys !!!!

[@vickybentley3949]

Its going to be an amazing i love that youre going to have bedrooms, but so many people build tiny cabins and then regret its not big enough later so please make it a goodsize for a family, you both work great together xx

[@robertbowman6315]

Excellent Construction Method For Just 2 Individuals ! Thanks for Sharing !

[@carlapierle8623]

I really appreciate how you explain what you're doing and why. You two work together like a well oiled machine! Great progress made!

[@maker-matt]

Well done. Much respect for your skill and hard work. A frame is the way to go up north where snow load is a concern. And they look good too.

[@northtoalaska2022]

Thank you! Yes, we would prefer to not need to remove snow from the roof in our older age.

Screaming out for Milwaukie sponsorship. Personally not a fan of their tools but this video deserves it. Best wishes.

[@kerrynphillips9153]

I was thinking the exact same thing. They got a great work out & free advertising from this video alone

[@jasystems]

I loved viewing the entire process, I only wished I had these skills to enact my dream.

[@northtoalaska2022]

Start small, we started with sheds, chicken coops, and home remodeling. Before you know it you can take on larger tasks, you pick up a few tools along the way to help make the jobs turn out better as well. Good luck 🙂

[@axelruntschke]

Great job, guys! I love how you occasionally stop and tell the audience what you're doing and why. Keep it up and best of luck. Kind Regards!

[@marlysjcollins8775]

I am enjoying watching your home come together! Nice work.

I am not a builder but if this is not the way most ppl build an a frame it should be. Great job

It's coming together, Great job guys!! I cant wait to see the next video !

[@madeasy1246]

As an old carpenter once told me "You can never brace enough, if it blows out or falls down you should have braced more" 35 years of doing concrete work I've never had a blow out thanks to his teaching. I would have done more diagonal bracing. Enjoy the dream and the ride. Your doing more then most people your ages can ever dream of.

[@MsSephrena]

That really looks good - A lot of planning - Smart...! Thanks for sharing - Stay safe... Loved seeing the lab....

[@CatheyJenkins]

Well done 👍 your a fantastic couple great team ❤❤❤❤ can’t wait to see what is next xxx

[@EntertainmentKorner]

This is a really awesome cabin design. I love taking into consideration all the different styles and techniques I see in all sorts of cabin building videos I see and so far this is one of the most appealing. One day when I build my first cabin, I may just have to go a-frame!

[@DianeWilson-q7i]

AWESOME!!!! You guys are so good! I bet you found muscles you didn't know you had! And fell in bed exhausted each night. I am beyond impressed with how well you work so well together. That last bit was ALOT scary. I had shaky legs :) I absolutely LOVE your supervisor!!! ( Although he was sleeping on the job a bit at the end :) ) SO CUTE!!! Your home is going to be well made and very cool!!!

[@maryellensunflowergirl8132]

Wow that was amazing to watch. Y'all work so well together. Definitely well thought out plans. Love A-frames

[@paulandlaurahausman379]

Hello! So glad as you must be that you have started on your home. My home is a 30 X 30, 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom home in a small village in upstate NY. It is big enough that my three children had their own room and we were quite comfortable. Life changes as the kid grow older and leave for the start of their own life. Now the rooms are a sewing/quilting room and an office. That's plenty of room for the grandkids and dogs. I am unsure if I like an A-Frame but your frame seems to have plenty of space and storage. I saw a Canadian A-Frame you-tube video that was just as large as yours. The couple who are building it have added 2 large dormers on each side of the main frame. One is the entrance which has a large closet on the second floor. The other, I believe holds the downstairs bathroom. The dormers make up for the loss of space in the walls. So many designs for A-Frame I am learning about. Sending my hopes for a successful build.

[@GaryOetman]

Nice work.....always a pleasure to see folks that take pride and time with a project like this!!!!

[@danielhoward9768]

Great work. Side 4 x 8 plywood makes great shear wall to super stabilize structure. I watch Simple Living Alaska and they are super hard workers. You are equal to them and the best of all Alaska homesteaders. I really enjoy your show. Grew up in upstate NEW YORK AND SPENT SUMMERS HELPING MY UNCLE in Pennsylvania on his farm but that was 65 years ago. Keep the great videos coming!

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Impressive on how quickly the lower part went up. Thanks for all the explanations of why you are doing what you have done. So many questions but I know they will be answered as the build goes on! Stay safe until next time.

[@avalonhomestead9077]

Isn’t life a better place when all the planning and hard work starts to become real. You’re always putting well thought out plans into actual results that follows the detailed master plan . Happy for you. Not sure what your future plans are but your home can expand to accommodate your needs going forward.

[@Around399]

Very enjoyable to watch you making your dream a reality. Fantastic progress. Can’t wait to see what you do with the cabin and the rest of your land

You two took on a lot of hard work and made it look easy,everything you did was to make the structure strong with the least amount of work,but even working as efficiently you did it was still hard work. You have my deep respect and may your strength and good health be with you always.
