It doesn’t have to be a dream just go and do it! It’s not like it’s a million dollars. This whole thing is under 50k which is the minimum for a morgage. So let’s say it’s 50k to the bank and take out a 30 year note. That’s 250 a month. Most people have home and cellular internet so get rid of the home internet will save a 100 or more, cut out the expensive coffee pick up that’s at least 4 dollars so weekly that cost is 20 based on a 5 day work week that comes to 1040 for the year divided by 12 equals a savings of 87 dollars if you quit buying coffee on the road but if you “need” coffee or whatever then make it at home and then a cup is like quarter so let’s say you save 70 a month. That’s a total of 170 saved. Cut off your subscriptions so that’s at least 50 saved a month so 220. Adjust the thermostat can save 50 or more a month so now 270 saved and that’s your morgage with little to no effort on your part plus you could air bnb it if you kept it as a 2nd and that’s at least 150 to 200 a night and so you could get 1k a month in rent for only a hand full of days so that way you wouldn’t even need to cut out the first stuff and you would be making like 500 a month from just that. Point is that’s not a hard dream to achieve so go and do it and be happy!

​@@waynewayne9693 You're WAY off base on this estimate. Not including buying land, clearing the land, running electric to this thing, the raw materials for this probably cost closer to 100k than 50k.

Not including location and land this probably cost about 150k-200k depending on cost of lumbar and transportation of materials. This would be the same cost as a similar sized home in a suburb but with 10x the commute. You can't just build this and think you'll be okay.

It's almost perfect 😁. I suggest adding two cabinet doors to conceal the washer & dryer. Use 180° hinges to fold the doors against the enclosure's side panels when w/d are in use. Plus, install a closet over the w/d. It could span from the top of the w/d enclosure up to the ceiling with a clothes rod, or have a few shelves. Another option, is to leave countertop space for folding laundry, and to hang an upper cabinet that matches those in the kitchen. That "folding area" might serve other purposes at times -- as in, a breakfast bar or desk with a pop-up or slide out extension. Stash a few stacking metal stools in the TV area, to be used inside and outside.

Looks like the floorplan of incredible tiny homes, slightly enlarged and very high end. Nice...

[@Brian-mp2mv]

I know it's Ohio and cold, but an enclosed laundry room on back porch, with a stackable combo unit and a small table & 2 chairs where the washer/dryer are now. Fireplace/wood stove at center exterior wall. But, the way it is now looks great too!

[@michaelcastelo4184]

Absolutely beautiful cabin. That's a perfect size and it has everything. Awesome

[@carter2671]

This is amazing! I would love to have this setup some day!

[@hsocb-ji3zr]

My off-the-grid camp has a screened-in porch. I consider that essential, being in the northern NE woods. However, I am always amazed at how many people up here don't have screens. A local saying seems to be "after you eat a few, the black flies stop bothering you"!

[@tommy_gunn3895]

I feel people mistake getaway for bugout alot..this is a beautiful getaway cabin! I hope to achieve this for my families everyday living

[@jakeberg6758]

Just phenomenal! What a beautiful build. The materials, the open feel, epic. “GREAT JOB

[@SteveL2012]

Beautifully executed. I agree with a prior post that I would add a bump out for the washer/dryer-which would create more space for a different seating arrangement (and maybe a drop leaf table and chairs for dining). Just a couple of ideas!

[@scooterpearson3438]

Excellent idea!

How blessed you are to live there!❤

[@conrad9264]

Hey I just stumbled across your great cabin video. Great job all around. Your design is very similar to our own build. I particularly love your exterior colours. Could you please share the colours of the siding, trim and windows?

[@TheAgentAssassin]

I bet the rain sounds nice on that metal roof. Nice and calming.

[@bigslacker666]

One of the better cabins I've seen period! What was the total cost to build? Materials seem higher end than a lot of cabins and the water system it awesome. Hydronic heat is awesome, that's what I use at my house here in the mountains. Quick, quiet and efficient!

[@recoveringsoul755]

Description doesn't say. Not sure how long he's had it but there's mention of a blog. So you could read more.

[@marymosesmccowen3118]

❤ This would be a nice getaway! I love the rustic look.

[@roadieman209]

Very nice! Clean, tidy, warm, efficient. You got it all right there man.

[@pinkpandamiranda]

This is the perfect layout for a cabin imo. I would love to visit a place like this/live in it full time

[@easilyscan]

Very nice. The only changes I'd consider would be to make the deck/patio a little smaller so the living room could be a little larger & have built-in closet in the master bedroom. Really like the steel roof. I'm guessing the snow slides right off most times. Wish steel roofs were more popular here in the Midwest. Because so few people go with steel, the price is absolutely outrageous. 30 year shingles never seem to last 30 years. One question: How much did it cost ?

[@jeromyt6873]

The outdoor space is cheap compared to indoor space. There's not a big need to sacrifice it in lieu of the other. You can make the living room bigger and still have a big outdoor space. You want that on smaller houses.

[@daveneil3963]

That was beautiful and did seem like a lot of room. Our first cabin was 560 SF. But I would have to have a wood stove and some closets for clothes.

[@melodyschlissio9096]

Having the washer/dryer enclosed would have made this perfect.

[@jamesoncross7494]

Awesome. A full basement would have really given you a lot more room.

[@seanstreck2669]

Build it more into the slope there and have a walkout basement patio! Stack the patio, 1st level deck and loft area with a deck. Still the same footprint but you've got almost a 1000 square foot living space with 3 levels of outdoor living space.

[@anitraahrens905]

Yes, a full basement would definitely be a great benefit.

[@markalley4810]

A wood burning stove for heat and it is absolutely perfect!

[@SierraKilo76]

Very nice. I like the attention to detail, like that small stand by the door for EDC items used as a small wine rack, too.

[@solsticelakshmi4639]

Beautiful…andThe one huge important thing that always gets missed is storage. Even for shorter stays. There is nowhere to put any clothes, suitcases, linen never mind if you live there full time.

[@barbuniatowski9700]

This is very nice, the only thing is the placement of washer and dryer. I wouldn't like hearing that.Aso don't you

[@barbuniatowski9700]

You think table and chairs would be better in the space behind the couch in place of the washer and dryer.Also where do you put your clothes.You have no closet or cupboards.You have no shelves or storing space.

[@firewoodprovidersnorthwest]

I so love this layout...I want to build dozens of them in Alaska for B&B's .

[@danielsechrist4410]

Love the floor plan! Excellent layout. Don’t forget to turn off that light!

[@BrandochGarage]

Only thing missing is me! (Chillin') Beautiful, and very elegant with the furnace, water, and in floor heating.

[@Kindafu]

i love everything about this cabin. great use of the 600 sqft. would you happen to have a video estimating cost?

[@anavrinhsub6081]

150,000

[@sandrajohnson9926]

Others are guesstimating @$100 a square foot, $60,000.

[@Stingra87]

Very nice design! I do have a couple of personal concerns about space (namely the size of that TV versus the closeness of the sitting area, lack of a table for the kitchen and the washer and dryer being RIGHT THERE), but other than that this is a fantastic use of space WITH the addition of stairs! Absolutely love that you got stairs in there, I hate tiny homes and cabins that just have ladders as the primary loft access. Couple of questions: How much did this cost to build? And how large is the full square footage when you take the patio into account? I love my current home but when it comes time to downsize, I'd love to get something just a little larger than this with a larger living room and possibly utility room in place of a patio.

[@Xx-ib6bf]

Pretty. Concern with a Table to eat at. Otherwise lovely, tho I would need to block those "upstairs" windows to sleep through the night. Beautiful small house & property.

[@Ton369]

Damn, you really fit everything a man needs in one space. Who could ask for anything more.

[@susan5632]

Having a bedroom on the first floor would make this even better, especially for older people.

[@j.w.grayson6937]

Excellent job! It would be nice to know how much it cost to build.

[@tracyrecoskie4492]

Yes love this. Would like to know how much this would cost to build.

[@troyanderson9111]

Absolutely brilliant. Well planned out Love it

[@99pncrft]

I love the upstairs bedroom, the kitchen, and the materials the cabin is made from. But man, I can't imagine having the money to build something like this and sticking the bathroom right next to the fridge and the washer and dryer out in the open. I think with a little more attention to details like that, you'd have a perfect cabin.

[@robertchamberlain452]

Beautiful little cabin for sure. I agree with hkchris1, it should have a wood burning stove for that feeling of being out in the woods. I would love to have such a cabin!

[@jimmorrison1195]

I could live there full time year round no problem. Nice job.

[@heathermichele67]

I want this!

[@Bkaylor]

I love it nice job. Greetings from west central Ohio.

[@RTHenry83]

Amazingly cool! Would love to build one for ourselves. I'm new to the channel, do you have plans and costs for it?

[@maplehouseknives]

Any issues with the pine swelling or warping around the door and window jambs? Nice place!👍

[@matthewtavolacci9930]

I have moved 42 times in my life. I always wanted a house of my own to live in and make a home and community. This is my dream home wow.

[@nate8249]

That’s a world record how did you manage to move that many times

[@jackiebarnett9185]

Hello wow a very lovely and well built comfortable cottage I love it enjoyed watching thankyou for sharing

[@brianbrian9759]

Beautiful cabin!

[@Disappointed739]

Four thoughts from having lived in snow country. I do not know the climate there, but if heavy snow loads are possible, I see the following concerns: 1. The main roof will likely shed deep snow by gravity, but the two porches and the dormers must be manually cleared if over 2 feet of snow accumulates. The front can be raked, but the rear must be shoveled. A ladder on site for accessing dormer and porch roofs in winter may be a good idea. 2. The upper window sills may get covered in snow, especially if one is to the north, and may leak at the window sills into the wall. This is particularly a risk for a building that is not occupied continually because the heat of the building may not create the typical 1 - 3 inch air gap that an occupied building does, avoiding contact with the snow pack. In a cold building, this may not occur, particularly in prolonged cloudy weather. For the same reason, flashing also may need to be higher on dormers, all around. 3. The building feels low for snow country during a rapid snow melt. I would have raised it 12 to 18 inches higher to keep water from puddling into the building. Stonework is excellent for deep snow. 4. I saw no independent back up source of heat. Because of this, a water shutoff in an insulated below grade cistern may be a good idea for winterizing. This is a good idea in any case for an unoccupied building. Overall a lovely building. I am very impressed with rain water system.

[@sterlinghawk_g20]

I too live in snow country and I have noticed especially with prefabs sitting in deep snow country and I am thinking noway will that work or someone will be doing hard work in the winter.
