Tour My Cabin, I'm Super Proud of It

One of my proudest builds here on my property was this cabin in the woods. After months of planning and deciding on a design I quickly found out that the planning stage was the easiest part of this whole build. With each piece of wood used to build this cabin coming from my own woodlot, it took me months just to harvest the trees, skid them to my sawmill, saw them into usable lumber even before I started hammering a single nail. With about 8 months of time spent building the cabin after all the wood was sawn, to say this was a long project is an understatement. Let's not get mixed up though, this was well worth it. On today's episode I"ll give you the grand tour of what makes this tiny house/cabin so special to me and why I"m super proud of it. Sure is a great feeling looking back at the project after it's been complete for about 3 years and be able to appreciate it as much as the day I completed it. Glad you're all here for the tour, here we go!

[@ironsales5669]

Sandy, the pride you feel in your cabin is well earned and deserved. I am sure your mill has more than paid for itself. It is no small thing to cut the trees down, bunk them up, mill them into lumber and THEN build something so substantial with that lumber. The amount of labor to build a project like this by yourself not to mention the recording of the effort, wow. As for the ladder, there are a lot of options, and I am sure you will find one that works out great; even if it is just to leave it the way it is or to allow for removing it completely and hang it on the wall.

[@sawingwithsandy]

I appreciate the well wishes. Sure is a rewarding project that should outlast me I hope

I'm envisioning the side railing being removable for use as a ladder!

​@@sawingwithsandy Where is right here? Lol like which state etc

[@carlmclelland7624]

Yep, there's nothing in the world better than standing back and saying..., "I Built That!" Thus far, I've gone back and watched the first 37 videos of the build, so let me get back to watching the 'before' of what you've just shown us. Outstanding job, Sandy!!

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks for that Carl. When I go back and check out the old build videos I feel like I'm like a spring chicken with no beard and maybe slightly fewer pounds around the waist haha

[@bobwollard9105]

Sandy, that's a fine little cabin. I think it's really cool that the majority of it is constructed from re-purposed site trees. Reminds me of some of the pioneer cabins I have seen in the States. I am impressed at the amount of components you have salvaged from other builds. I bet the view is absolutely beautiful in winter. Well done Sandy. You should rightfully be proud of your accomplishment. 👍

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks for that Bob. Glad you came along for the tour

[@axion3979]

@@sawingwithsandy through bolt the ladder to the rail so you can swing it up and hook it to those rafters instead of rolling it, could put two notches in the floor for the feet or some nice rubber no slip caps

Very nicely done sir! If everyone had a place like that, the world would be a much happier place.

Just a simple and yet extraordinary piece of work. The fact that you did this totally from tree to finished cabin is a tribute to your skills. Love the bug bite wood! The only thing better would have been if it had had worm trails in it. Rustic and fabulous! Great job!

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks for that!

[@timscartoys9321]

Very nice Sandy!! I like your idea of hinging the ladder, at least if you have more than yourself there. A boat trailer winch would quickly and easily lift it out of your way, giving you a lot more usable space, and also a better out side view, while being able to be lowered if you are going to use the loft! I have a feeling that if you hinged the ladder, it would spend most of its time up and out of your way!

[@sawingwithsandy]

I like that winch idea, never even thought about that! Thanks for sharing it

The thing I love about your videos is that you are so relatable to an average person. Pretty much anyone can do what you do easily enough without a lot of money but a lot of ambition. You should be so proud of what you've done. You're actually the inspiration of why I have a Woodland Mills sawmill, saw and build my own projects. Thank you Sandy!

You should be proud of your cabin. It is a beautiful well engineered cabin. I especially like the thick outside stair treads and two sides with walkway. Just by looking at it, you must have been sawing and milling for months! Truly a job well done.

[@sawingwithsandy]

It sure did take some time to get the wood cut. Appreciate the kind words Larry

[@AndrewJohnson149]

What a great build! You should be very proud of the work you did. We have stairs with the same issuing the middle of the room. The slider is a a great idea! Combining with ability to hoist up towards the ceiling would be even better. I've gotta look into this for our cabin. Nice job and thanks for sharing.

You could always dig in an in-ground basement /first floor out of charred logs as the foundation walls if the ground is fairly porous. Only because the cabin's on a hillside. Nice cabin.

[@mainemermaid6596]

Beautiful. Maybe some day you can replace the deck railing with cable (so the view won't be blocked), and extend the porch floor to make a big deck with a table & chairs, and a (deck safe) fire pit for hanging out with your friends, cooking on a grill, etc. It's nice to be up off the ground, especially in the evenings when it gets buggy.
