Off Grid Log Cabin Homestead- 1 year Build Review

Found ourselves a beautiful piece of property to build a Log Cabin. This is the progress we’ve made in 14 months since purchasing.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I mean that has to be the biggest honeydo project of 2024 lol. You are blessed to have such a wonderful family both immediate and extended helping you, along with all your friends. Now, one request for 2025 trail cams. I bet you have a ton of critters and birds that will show in the spring. Looking forward to 2025. Be well. Your friend from Virginia.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

I know I know! I’ll look into the camera! It would add good content!

[@Deck1ngUK]

Only joined the party when you were infilling the basement block walls, so nice to see the lead up to that . Looking forward to your new year.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Welcome to the channel! Glad you found and enjoy! Happy Nee Year!

[@coolwheelz5190]

Great recap! You've gotten a lot done in a year and I think the most impressive may be the small Morton building tear down and rebuild! Have a Happy New Year!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Very much appreciated! That Morton certainly had some challenges, but happy to have it now! Happy New Year!

[@debbieblakie8026]

Happy New Year to you and family. See you in the new year.

[@djjamison6548]

I really love this video.

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@lukehampton3437]

Just now finding your account. Absolute gold, because it’s not some unpractical log cabin that will not be used but rather a (future) full house for your family. Do you have any videos, books, etc about price breakdown, how to build in this hybrid-style you’re building in, or anything like that? I would love to build an affordable house like this and can do it myself by hand, it is just hard to find the in-between of a simple off grid log cabin and a massive luxurious house that costs $500k+. Thanks for all of your time spent on these videos, future generations thank you!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Very much appreciated, thank you!! 🙏 I don’t have any how-to video/books. I’m learning as I go and am not an expert in the field, but as I gain more experience down the road it may be something I do a little more of.

[@lukehampton3437]

Thank you, and blessings to you and the family🙏

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

Great Video.

[@GREGGMramor]

In all your endeavors

[@dianamazzullo9065]

Wow, you accomplished tons in a year…you should pat yourself on the back 👍❤️

[@estudiantecristiano398]

Saturday just wouldn’t be complete without DIYDemasi!

[@michellerobert3238]

❤👍👍👍❤️

[@jimriffel6969]

It is good to see all this because I didn't find you until just before you took the cabin apart. I have a question how many times in a given episode do you think your camera tips over? LOL just an observation, I wish I could work half as fast as you are in this video.. but then again maybe not maybe not or I would get accused of half fast work.😂

[@DemasiLogCabin]

3 times an episode, probably set the camera up 60-70 times a week, so that isn’t too bad a percentage! Haha

[@deerwoodretreat]

I was wondering about the build process. Can you explain why you built the walls and the trusses, and then took the walls apart to build the foundation? Also, how will you get the trusses up? Can you get a crane to the sight? Thanks for the great content!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Thank you! I started the build in the winter and digging wasn’t possible at the time. I also didn’t know what type of foundation I wanted, I’ve seen professional log builders set up their log homes in their yards and then move the cabins to their final resting spot, so I decided to try it that way. I also have limited space, because of the challenges of the terrain, so I had to disassemble the cabin while building the foundation. As for getting the trusses on to the build, I have some ideas, but we will see what is the easiest. I don’t plan to get a crane or any other larger equipment. Thanks for the questions!

[@Charles-xq6mr]

Happy New Year!! (almost), so how did the thatch,grass roof hold up? Best of luck, can't wait to watch the progress!!

[@DemasiLogCabin]

The roof held up well, but only weeds grew last summer, we will see what happens this next year.

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

ok shut up and get back to work ..... just kidding ..... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ..... i guess i'll see you in the new year ..... keep up the good work .... after seeing all that again ... i have to say your a good worker .... ok how your wife laugh again .... 😂🤣😅

[@DemasiLogCabin]

“Heh heh heh!”

[@gruchygauvinfamily2633]

What is that black stuff you painted on the underground post at the beginning..?

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Is a rubber coating that should prolong the life of untreated log in the ground. “Murphys” may have been the brand, can’t remember exactly though.

[@keithkenny4576]

I assume you working alone is to save costs, but man you have me stumped, your job is not for the feint hearted

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Yes, build on a budget, and I really don’t mind working on my own.

[@alinperra]

A lot of hard labour work, that's for sure!💪 Congratulations for your tremendous effort and determination! I restore an abandoned house, but what you did here is astonishing.🤯 Happy new year!🥂

[@DemasiLogCabin]

Very much appreciated!
