Secretly building my wife a $60 cabin

When COVID-19 locked me and my family down on the small farm, I decided to build my wife a cabin-office in the paddock without her knowing. Using whatever materials were on the property, which were gathered up piles of other people’s junk over time, and with our 6 month old daughter as accomplice, Junk Cabin emerged. What started out as a stunt to see how much secretive, ad-hoc building I could get away with, turned into the most satisfying building project I’ve ever made.

I'm not regretting not having a family but watching this video made me realize that having a family could be like this (having the baby with you on the project, carrying the wood on the stroller, etc), like all your videos this one again changed my perception.

[@johnw1544]

My dad, who is a retired carpenter, and is incredibly talented, does this a lot. We have an allotment and to date he's made 2 sheds, a greenhouse and 3 cold frames out of reclaimed timber. You're not kidding when you say the quality is better than what you get these days. The shed he made looks like something you would buy out of a hardware store, and while he was making it he ended up rejecting a LOT of reclaimed timber because it wasn't hardwood. It's amazing what you can find lying about if you know what you're looking for. He's a bit doddery on his legs these days, so he moved it all with his bike. We still have one shed packed full of reclaimed hardwood. Probably thousands worth, just found lying about. It's awesome to see other people doing stuff like this too!

[@1337bG01]

While this video may be nearly 2 years old by now, it has reminded me of the passions I once had of my hobbies - working with my hands on cars, motorcycles, electronics. Anything I decided need to be done I did on my own, and as I've grown older, recessed into a pit of self-pity, paying others to do the work instead. You've reminded me that yes, I can do these things, and they are greatly satisfying. Applying yourself, having that mental fortitude - it never goes away. You just need to utilize it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

It's perfect in many ways. You have an adorable little family too. I can see how truly happy they were. The cabin itself gives such a nostalgic feel for me. Hard to explain, but a very comforting feeling.

[@rikvanschaaik8443]

You and your wife seem like amazing people and your kid is the cutest! Love the work you did here. Fantastic!

[@jirehd5753]

Wow, and he did all this WHILE taking care of the baby AND filming the whole process! hahaha awesome dude

[@drmedwuast]

What do you mean, the baby was his accomplice

[@CrypticCabal]

I was about to say the baby took care of him! He needed some supervision!

Baby was part of the plan

"I fee like I'm having an affair," he says as he is building a gift for his wife.

[@g60force]

I can only imagine the 'gifts' he received from his wife after completing this project... it's like a lifetime IOU card, for I will do anything whenever you ask me to... I could and would totally build this for a woman, sadly I lack the space :(

[@483Emma]

g60force she gave him a baby though... i think thats the ultimate IOU card tbh

[@cyanidesparkles]

@@g60force I think you misunderstand the meaning of a gift. he made this for her as a beautiful gift for her birthday to support her and her business. gifts are given with no need for compensation otherwise it isn't a gift, it's a loan.

[@cyanidesparkles]

@@483Emma fr im sure this build took just as long as the pregnancy was xD

[@seanmatthewking]

@@cyanidesparkles Try being in a relationship where you don’t give as much as your partner does and see how that works. You don’t have to be conscious of the fact, but essentially he’s building up relationship karma. That’s undeniable.

[@Kirstalyn272]

I just happened on you running thru Sidney collecting wood to make a chair and paddle. Loved it!! Then I watched you building this office for your wife’s birthday. It was so enjoyable to see how much you enjoy life. Knowing you can make it’s from scraps. Loved all of it and I will be watching more. Thank you so much for sharing a small part of your life. Please don’t stop! It is so refreshing to find someone that love life and wants to help save our beautiful planet!

[@b1gr1211]

Beau I only started watching your videos when I stumbled on your latest one. I think you are an absolutely fantastic human being. Your will for adventure and to push boundaries is limitless. And to have that craft you showed on this video is second to none. I hope you keep making more videos mate. Your a weapon.

[@jfo738]

"For about sixty bucks: Two boxes of screws....and Hellen bought them, so it didn't cost me a penny" Hahaha, nice

[@dannysmoons]

I have watched a lot of KZbin in the last 10 years. But I think this is the best overall video I have ever watched. Your a good man and I've only watched you for 20 minutes. Made me want to do something nice for the wife. Thumbs up mate...

[@Hashslingingslasher-]

It's been 2 weeks mate. What'd ya do?

[@earthreverse8818]

And now 2 months, no pressure😜

[@MrJarrettJohnson]

I thought this comment was over exaggerating before I watched the video, but this is indeed and all-timer.

[@nicholastown2779]

just wait till you watch the rest of his stuff.

[@robras2850]

4 months anything yet?

[@trobertson4317]

Wonderful and such a loving gift from a man who truly appreciates and loves his wife! All Kudos to you!!

[@michaelsummerell8618]

I absolutely love doing this - repurposing old and salvaged materials for new projects. A couple of years back a friend and I built a 10ft by 10ft shed/man cave for his allotment using virtually all reclaimed materials. It engages you - working around and solving problems with what you have available, forcing you to be creative and inventive. Very wholesome work and good for the soul. I'm just off now to finish a stud wall in my loft made with reclaimed wood batten.

[@omeramrani]

I can’t even fart without my wife knowing how the hell could you built an entire office

[@Worldsoldout]

she was probably pretending not to know ;-)

[@TraceurArok]

It's called trust buddy

[@De_BOSS95]

lol its obvious staged bro. 😂 i like build videos tho. he really didn't have to fake surprise his wife to get extra views

[@pd48]

Me doing a simple project: 5 trips to the hardware store Beau: builds entire cabin without leaving his property

[@kjelldegroot5137]

it does help having tons of timber under your house lol

[@chrislrob]

SO many times!

[@TH-eb5ro]

Such a love story both in you and of you and for your wife. Thank you for sharing the story of that little building.

[@newclearwinter]

Just rewatched this and remembered much I loved it first time round. It gave me such a big push to get off my arse and try make stuff. An absolute inspiration. Thanks for sharing… 👍🏽

You are wonderful to have built this office for Helen. You are a gem! 💞
