The Transformation Awaits - Revealing The Off Grid Mini Cabin Exterior Plans

[@catherineallison3475]

The piano is lovely to listen to in the woods at 29 min into video. 😊

[@billelsener6192]

Beautiful wood. Should make the cabin look really nice. Someday maybe you can build a shed for your mill. That would protect it and extend its usability and life. I’ve seen in other “off griders” heat powered fans that sit on top of the wood stoves to circulate the heat around the room better. You may have them but I didn’t see them. Your pups love being in front of the stove. 😊

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Maybe next year I convince jay to do that for the sawmill lol. The dogs do love the wood stove!

[@theonewease]

Said it before & I'll say it again, Luv watching you kids! & those puppies got it right! Right next to the wood stove!

[@EmerickKing-j4o]

Wow : Guys, the garden grows good this year. 👌 take care JJ❤❤❤. 🎉.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Very happy with it for sure. Best wishes my friend

[@richardgreen5602]

I really noticed I like your music selections in the last two videos....thank you!!!!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

@richardgreen5602 glad to hear it my friend. Thank you for the feedback and support 😀

[@Chirita008]

Aww, the ending was so sweet with the pups! 🥰 Love watching the sawmill, it's an amazing machine. You definitely did good with the spaghetti squash, one of my fav, can't wait to see what you cook up with those. I'm always Team Jay, no matter what Jen says. 😉 🥰 Things are coming along, can't wait to see the finished the product and the root cellar project. Stay warm out there, it is a beautiful countryside to be in.

[@kristingrounds4163]

Nice garden haul and you got a lot of wood milled for sure!!! Great job!

[@debbiefaber1224]

Let the peas dry. Then shuck them. Put that sawdust to the side to compost. We have several acorn squash, too. Waiting on the Brussel Sprouts... enjoy your harvest 😊

[@marikajohn6522]

Dogs have got right idea 😊😊

[@judyavants7928]

The trees are beautiful with the sun hitting them.

[@F3hunter-2024]

Great video, so many things to do on a daily basis. Get up -grab coffee and get started! Love that Mule, it definitely has its own personality (Rocking it to get it into gear-Classic!) Nice little saw mill as well, gets the jobs done....Be safe!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Thank you my friend

[@suezaple4950]

(A great deal of wholesome goodness from your garden very nice, ! ) Isn't it nice to be able to use your own trees for the siding or whatever you fancy , The little cabin is going to look so very cute That view Jay was epic the next mornin You , Jenny and the dogs are so blessed to own such a property something I could handle waking up to. Loved the video as always keep em comin. London , Ontario Canada .

[@db.mc2]

God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always my friends 👍🏻

[@territhreet]

Awww. Best ending yet, puppies getting cozy in front of the fire. ❤. Have a nice week. I'm sure not looking forward to thw 40's. Stay safe & warm.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

They do love the fire. Stay warm as well thanks for watching

[@josephczapiewski5386]

Glad I stayed until the end, pups made my night. Thanks, guys!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 thanks for watching

[@jacquelinewells7575]

Those pups are smart! Laying down by the fire and snuggling up together to get warm. Y’all sure got real cold quick. Can’t wait to see the mini cabin get sided.

[@DaveS-gf4ik]

you all have come a long ways still watching your videos and loving them thank you so much dave from ct

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Thank you so much Dave!

[@johnkirby6547]

Hello Jay and Jen, The garden did you well this year. That's a big stack of siding, can't wait to see how it looks hanging. The pups are always soo goofy, playing tug of war with a stick. Enjoyed the video and the views.

[@campjefferson8947]

making your own lumber is cool!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Love it

[@russellwatters5891]

Love the sawmill use, its calming in a way..😅 The logs you're milling are all Poplar? Beautiful grains. 😊 Looking forward to the cabin being sided, even if its 3 sides. 😂 Love what ya'll are doing 😊

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Yes all poplar. I do the trim in maple to help contrast a little and hold up a little longer around windows and edges.

[@alyciapeters5073]

I love seeing your leaves changing 🍁 colors! Beautiful! Still having evergreens 🌲 is awesome too!

[@juliederry3719]

That sawmill is a godsend, imagine cutting all that siding by hand, and the pups sure know the best place to lay down lol, I love the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind, it’s quite relaxing, and the colours are stunningly beautiful too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@bjornsoderlund8123]

Nice to se you again 😊❤❤ love you 2 hi from sweden 😊

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Thank you! 😃

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Lots of love my friend

[@stephendouglas6328]

[@alicianneboyle2443]

Great job Jay on the milling your own logs. That saved you and Jen a ton of money 💰 great work 👍👊👍💙💙 thank you Jay for the drone of the fall 🍁🍂 leaves soooo beautiful that time of year

[@marthaturki4891]

WOW, such beautiful veggies!❤️❤️🐾🐾 Suchbeautiful scenery. Love the fur babies!❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@brendahogue5487]

Jay love and enjoy your videos and enjoy watching you harvest the garden and working on the homestead

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Every time you use your mill I feel the tug to get one….. we may have to start a rainy day fund for one of those beauty’s 😍 It looks so rewarding! Have a great day guys! 😊🌲❤️

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

It really is a solid investment my friend, easily worth the investment if you have the trees to mill from your property. I'm sure it would be worth it even if you had to buy the logs too. Highly recommend the frontier mill as well. I think i saw this model on sale earlier this year for 3200 dollars. A steal in my mind

[@davidvansickle563]

Jay, I’m curious about your sawmill, 1) how many logs can you cut per blade? 2) is it expensive for blade sharpening? 3) what is the thinnest cut you can make? 1/2 inch 3/4 or 1”. Love watching and following you guys

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

You can cut half inch for sure......anything really, it just depends on what you want. I made all the siding 7/8s this time. Last time I did one inch. I get 3-4 logs per blade. They would last longer if I could spray the dirt off the logs of peeled them, the dirty bark is what really dulls the blades. The poplar and maple i mill is harder than pine... I'm sure you could mill a lot more pine than this wood. The blades I bought were 250 dollars for a 15 pack of then last time I bought them.....but I'm sure they are more expensive now. I have not sharpened them yet, as I don't have a tool to do it.

[@stevenhawk7751]

Jay what about making some benches with some live edge wood

[@garydavis786]

I always think that that sawmill is such a valuable tool to have on your property! I’m sure it has paid for itself over and over. Thanks for the video!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

It really was a great investment

[@ScottWigfield-jc3ku]

I can't wait to see the siding on the shed love the rough edge look and as for the garden it will produce more next year it takes time 😊❤❤

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

I'm excited to get it done too. I ran away for hunting camp for the week, so hoping to install it all later this week

[@spiderthenimble]

Seems like just yesterday you guys were fitting the chains on the tires of the tractor to remove snow. How time flies. That scrub stuff from the mill could easily be converted into firewood for the stove.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

I hope to process it for sure

[@WalterThayer-r7n]

Jay keep up the good work 👏 I enjoy watching your videos thanks 😊 walt

[@tenneyconstruction7323]

As always another awesome video from Jay and Jen!!!

[@justiceleague1146]

That’s a nice harvest from your garden!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

@justiceleague1146 thanks buddy.....really excited to expand and create something even better next year

[@alicianneboyle2443]

P. S. Jay the last load that you we're taking the lumber up to the cabin and you we're sitting there sipping your coffee the song came to my thoughts On the road again by Willie Nelson lol....

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Yes sir

[@Kiernnan]

As usual, your choice of music is impeccable. Is it possible to put a small overlay on what song / artist? I usually have Shazam ready when watching your videos. I go out and buy the song as soon as it recognizes it. But sometimes, it doesn’t return a result. The weather is changing up there. It looks cold. Gloves are a wonderful invention, right?? I do love your new Jen Shed. Stay safe up there.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

I'll try and get better about including the info about the music. It's not a habit I've gotten into doing so I'll try harder my friend. Really appreciate the support

[@jbfuzzy]

you need to put stickers between those boards so they dry and don't go moldy.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

They will be installed green....this week

[@paperchaser9565]

How long before you can use that wood? Do you have a small wood burning stove fan to push heat around?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

We will install it soon. The sooner the better when we do it green we single nail it up, then let it dry while installed for a season.....then go back and nail the bottoms.

[@genegeney3661]

Do you have any planes to build a cover of some sorts for your sawmill?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Some day I hope

[@stephanieberg2077]

How thick did you cut the siding?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

This time I cut it 7/8" little thinner than before. Hoping it works out.

[@judyeuller7602]

Can the used saw blades be sharpened and reused?

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Yes they can.....I have to buy sharpener though. They are kind of expensive though. 500-1000 dollars.....so I'll have to save up

Appreciate the beauty of the video.

[@lannyhargrove]

Not trying to be mean. I've watched you guys basically from the beginning. We enjoy the extra big smiles. Content matters. Less videos if need be.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

@lannyhargrove we can't make videos that appease every single person. Lots like the longer more raw videos. We have gotten great feedback on it from viewers so that is why occasionally you see some longer ones

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

@lannyhargrove this time of year I slow the videos down and enjoy the beauty of it all Lanny. Similar to spring maple syrup boiling the focus is the environment, not the task. I'm not explaining myself, but you have to realize consider we have a couple weeks a year when things are this beautiful....I'm going to enjoy it.....not rush it. In addition we do 100 little things to prep for winter, that just are not worthy of recording. Hope you can appreciate that. Best wishes my friend
