Off Grid CABIN Build | TIMELAPSE

Our off grid cabin build timelapse is so satisfying to watch! I love seeing how our family built this wooden cabin from scratch in this little piece of the Canadian forest. There is still a lot of work to be done but here is how far the cabin has come! Thanks for watching, if you want to see the rest of the build subscribe to our channel!

Beautiful cabin. Great work!! Only thing I would change is to put a clear stain on it before it greys. Just a preference thing.

[@Lacehairwigs]

Amazing. Family build are so lovely. Even the dogs helped. The scaffolding was a bit dodgy though.

[@karenriggle5435]

Hope to see more of your finish work and your gardening

[@dajmos6969]

wow!This looks more like a villa than a cabin.Awesome work

[@DaDunge]

0:30 Shouldn't you dig a bit deeper that that? you'll get ground frost below the pilllars and the house will start shifting. If temperatures drop below 0c you should have atelast a meter deoths and then half a meter for every ten degrees below 0 you expect it to be subject too. In Canada it should probably be 2.5m.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Awesome build guys :) If you love the outdoors you will love being off grid , you had a great crew ! I'm sure your loving that wood stove :)

[@backtothelandliving]

Thank you so much!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

I went off grid 8 years I'm still working on the cabin a little at a time as money allows me to but going to do a house tour hopefully soon :) It's nice wood hauling weather right now so one thing at a time:))

[@customcleaners726]

Really good job. Beautiful

At first I was concerned about strengh of roof under extreme prolonged iced snow load.Not uncommon to have several storms in a short period of time. But the structure is impressive.

[@joshuajackson6442]

Nicely done

[@jens0406]

This will be a great and cozy house. The glass facade brings a lot of light inside. Will you be independent with the house? solar/water supply/sewage? And please a question: You know the custom of celebrating the topping-out ceremony after completion of the shell, like we do here in Germany? The builder has to drive the last long nail into the roof and the more hammer blows he needs, the more drinks it costs. Yes, it's a small celebration at the end of the 1st major construction phase. A great video. Have subscribed to the channel and look forward to many more videos of the construction progress and the finished house. Warm regards from Pulsnitz/Saxony/Germany. HD Petschel

[@backtothelandliving]

Thank you! Yes it will be independent with solar, a composting toilet and grey water system. The topping-out ceremony sounds like a fun tradition, we do not have anything like that here in Canada that I know of but it would be neat if we did!

[@thescienceofraw6272]

perfect

[@ViktorLofing.]

Gutes Video !

[@manava87]

Just amazing! Would you ever consider sharing your schematic / building plans?

[@northidahodreaming5657]

Nice build, teamwork and good camera work. I like the design. Looking forward to see how you complete the interior, heating, kitchen, etc. Did you mill your wood? Also, how will you insulate the floor and the roof?

[@backtothelandliving]

Thanks so much! We did not mill our own wood, however we bought it from my uncle's saw mill. We insulated the ceiling after the roof was on from the inside with batt insulation. We have not done the floor yet but will be putting batt insulation under the floor from the outside and foam insulation on top of the subfloor before laying the wood flooring.

From where I grew up, ground clearing for any kind of cabin, especially considering it's a wooded area deck it's bear country, dig carefully and have your 12 gauge slung around your back, LOL

Beautiful cabin! Impressive teamwork! How long did it take from start to finish? Sorry if you already answered that question and I overlooked it.

Thanks! We started the build about a year and a half ago, and are not done yet :)

9:30 _"Well it was about that time we realised we hadn't put any insulation under the floor."_

FYI: the base of these pillars are supposed to be set BELOW the frost line to prevent heaving. Spoiler Alert: they aren’t. Also, using a sixteen oz finish hammer to set firms is hilarious.

[@Pablo-kw5jb]

Una linda fogata sin encender...

[@jayryan1956]

what stops the weight of everything sinking further into the ground even though you have a larger surface at the base of the concrete pillars?

[@billbarrett6285]

How did you go about levelling the piers to be at the same height? Did you just use one piece of rebar to reinforce each pier? Why not more?

[@Trolden01]

I would that this "cabin" should be classified as a House!
