Start to Finish Timelapse: Building a Cozy Off Grid Cabin in the Mountains.

Have you ever dreamed of building a cozy cabin in the middle of nowhere? Stop dreaming and get building! Well, watch this first, THEN get building!
I built this beautiful off grid Spur Cabin 100% solo, over the course of 11 months. If I can do it, I'm confident you can, too. It's a 12 x 16 cabin with a loft, tucked away in the mountains near Red Moose Ranch, where we will eventually build our permanent residence.
This timelapse video boils the cabin build down to about 57 minutes. From digging the first hole for the foundation footings, to the final brush stroke of stain on the porch, you'll enjoy a minute or two of every step. I don't use any super-complicated or expensive tools, just the basics. And many materials that I use are leftover, repurposed, reclaimed, or recycled.
Is this a "How-to" video? Not from my view. I mostly want to inspire you to dream big, then do big. I won't claim that what I do or what I use is the absolute best, but what I do works great for me. Hopefully you'll agree that the result speaks for itself. Let me know!
As a bonus, this video offers the perfect amount of stunning mountain scenery and cool, relaxing music. Not only will you want to sit back and enjoy every minute, don't be surprised if you're inspired enough to start planning a project of your own.
Because this video is abbreviated and fast-paced, you may have a ton of questions. That's good! Feel free to ask, or simply keep an eye out for a deep dive build video that is in the works, where I'll add commentary as to the "hows and whys" of building the Spur Cabin.
Question: What is YOUR favorite part of this cabin build?

My daughter was born just before the first video I saw in this series. It was the cool floor insulation system you built. I got to watch progress every week as she grew in the NICU (born at 24 weeks gestation - 1 lb, 10.8 oz). Now she’s almost 13 months old, and healthy as can be! These videos were a welcome escape from the hospital setting for the five months we were there. I’ll never be able to truly express how thankful I am to you for that.

Your attention to detail; the lay of the woodgrain, the natural branch detail on the loft, the natural edge on cabinets and shelves. With all of that fresh wood, I imagine it smells amazing inside the finished cabin.

I’m in love with this guy. He knows what he is doing. I purchased a spec house in 1978 and there wasn’t a one board, joist or corner measured or secured properly. The electric boxes had no wires so no electricity and that is just the beginning. We had to tear most everything apart and redo the place. It took 15 years since we both worked. It was difficult to sell 3 years ago because so much of me was in it! I really enjoy your work!!

Wow you are so kind! Sounds like you put a lot of love and sweat into that house, too. I appreciate you being here!🙏

I can't add to the many well deserved kudos already expressed in the comments. That said, I'm compelled to make this comment myself. I myself am a card carrying member of the Lone Ranger club. Before I retired I even went out to sea alone to pocket a few extra bucks doing yacht deliveries. I hope, I sincerely hope while you were doing your spectacular work there was someone standing by with a box of Bandades. I did notice towards the end of your video, you had started useing a push stick with your tablesaw. I also noticed that at the end of the video you, (?) were sitting in a chair with a cup of coffee admiring your handy work. A well deserved cup of coffee. Thank you Sir.

And that's the reason I watch you every weekend. 😊 You make us feel as old friends and it's the best! My wife always say to me: "I can imagine you and Patrick sitting and chatting. It would be a long conversation." 😊 Many times I thought on chat to you by e-mail or WhatsApp, but I know the Brazilian and the American culture are different and I respect it. Thanks for being with us every weekend and share your experience with us. Hugs from your Brazilian friend.😊

I'm 70 years old and in my time I have learned from Dad, Life and others along the way. At my age I often think I know how to do things. Oh I do but I also have the feeling that the older I get the more I have to learn. I say this to let you know, only by chance, I came across your video and took the chance of investing time into your project. Along the way I said to myself I would have done that different and at the very sametime I said "Harold Shut Up and learn". I followed that thought and found that yes I did learn from you and found that somethings I have learned in my 70 years have a different approach and found many of the ways you did this project to be better. Thanks so much for sharing your project and may I say that the presentation was wonderful. Often I find people just want to talk way too much and put aweful music with the void areas of the video. But you sir placed wonderful music, little speaking and put within the very reason we want such cabins is Nature. A wonderful presentation and learning I did even being set in my ways. Take off from this is to be open minded sit back watch and in the end evaluate later. Wisdom in years travelled you have shared and I enjoyed every bit of it.

My favorite two things: the wonky/wonderful small tree limbs that made up the "railing" for the loft and, especially, that you left all the walls unfinished.

I have watched every video, some twice. It was a treat to watch the whole thing again. Your very talented, detail is amazing. Lucky for you that I don't have a large powerful helicopter as I would pick up this cabin and move it to my property. Pretty Work 💛

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha I’m glad you don’t either! I appreciate you watching and being here. 🙏

[@germanitastaton2132]

I watch alot of these videos and can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this video very much, the house turned out great I really like the natural wood.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you so much!🙏

[@olegbondarenko778]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Two points though. 1. So much effort to insulate the house, up to 6 layers of "things" :) in walls, roof, floor - and pre-historical single glazed windows welcome heat welcome cold :) 2. I hope people who accepted "rediculous offer" were not desperate, not in too much hardship, are okay. Thanks again video, very useful and entertaining.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks, but those are double panes windows. 🙏

WOW A really great video watching you do it all. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Ah thank YOU for watching!🙏

I thought we would be watching another outdoor kitchen episode. I hope you didn't have to evacuate because of the wildfire. Though there is no major active wildfire in Colorado, it's pretty smoky here by the fire in the northwestern states, Canada and California.

[@LifeontheMoose]

So far, no fires are very close. I’ll be back at the kitchen next week!🙏

I don’t know how long it took you to build this cabin, but I can tell you one thing it was one hell of an accomplished done by yourself. Great job. Hope you enjoy it.

[@LifeontheMoose]

11 months, working part time. 😅 I do consider it an accomplishment. Thank you!🙏

[@hotwireman49]

SKILLS! Sure is pretty there! Great job!

[@LifeontheMoose]

It is pretty here. It just makes me look like I have skills! 🙏

[@hotwireman49]

@@LifeontheMoose HA! No, I'm pretty sure those are real skills! 😁

[@JT-162]

Brilliant! Mad skills doing that all solo. Impressive. Loved the sketchy ladder dance during the roof install.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha sketchy is an apt word! I appreciate you watching.🙏

[@akomni-vr5gt]

Amazing skillsets! Cunning Stunt building the floor joists upside down! Surprised no vapor barrier under floor or on walls? What part of the world is this located in? In Alaska that is an absolute must. Please to watch a man of many talents! And the proper manipulation of your tools was a breath of fresh air!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thank you! Sits about 3000’ in a pretty dry climate. And no long term heat differential, so moisture not a concern. I appreciate you asking! And watching!🙏

[@rogermace4516]

What a beautiful cabin............ Well done

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you!🙏

[@slow8r]

What a great build to watch. Thanks for making this. I'm sure it took a bit to get all of the video clips while doing the build.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thank you! It did take a substantial amount of time, but glad you liked it.🙏

Nice job!! congts! from Argentina(South America)

Thank you, Argentina! 🙏

[@brucehofman6947]

I was going to hold the other end, or pick up the other side many times when you needed help, but you didn’t wait long enough for me to get there. 😂 Great job Patrick, you are a joy to watch. Saw every episode from the beginning.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey that’s fantastic. Thank you! I’ll wait longer next time..🙏

[@bosse641]
