My thoughts confirmed that it wouldn't take much to heat it when I saw the small wood stove . Great job !

[@AndrewSzeto]

CD S totally! it borderline gets too hot even haha, but it’s great if you don’t mind adding wood in semi-frequently

[@Well_possibly]

@Andrew Szeto, if you end up using your cabin in winter, a small version of rocket mass heater may be nice, slowly releasing heat through the night, even after the wood is consumed. Good short video is: What is a rocket mass heater? (at "paul wheaton" channel) Rocket stoves burn so hot that they burn the creosote and smoke before anything goes up the chimney, avoiding risk of chimney fires and causing little air pollution. I've never had one, but they look easy to build and use just a fraction of wood that a wood burning stove uses to heat the same space. Anyway, I enjoyed the video. I love the quality of the workmanship. I hope you have many wonderful stays in your cabin.

[@AndrewSzeto]

Well possibly ooh cool! thanks for the heads up! the stove could be more efficient for sure. just got a vermont castings aspen stove for free and going tonrefurbish that!

@Andrew Szeto, you're welcome!

[@EricMindy]

FYI never run flashing tape back into your window/door openings.If water ever gets behind the siding it channels in right into the house behind the window nailing flange. Hang window/door and tape over the nailing flash. I've replace a lot of rotten boards from doing the way he did in the video. 15 years of building experience

[@AndrewSzeto]

sound good! will know better for next time!

[@billfrederickfrederick2791]

Melda , believe me , I very much doubt you would be happy in such a small space...Much too small for a (sleeping ) loft , difficult to install cabinets on your roof . (think about it ) a bed would use up most of the available space.... Perhaps some small storage space could be made down low on the roof ( walls ) but that takes away valuable floor space....My advice is think much bigger !

That was great! I have been looking for ideas of how to put together an A-frame house and this is one of the best videos I have found yet. "Butt crack"! Had you included that for my young daughter. Big smiles. I was curious about the chicken wire. I can see minimizing your need for plyboard but it would seem a plastic moisture barrier would have been a preventative addition before the insulation. I really appreciated the shortcuts that I think will lessen the need for muscle.

[@AndrewSzeto]

cheers! the chicken wire (which i should have gotten smaller even), was for rodent prevention!

[@ZebraFacts]

@@AndrewSzeto My wife and I are planning to build a small A-frame cottage for temporary living space while we finish building our house. I have a little knowledge of building but my wife doesn't. I was explaining to her that a moisture barrier is very important. I plan to plastic between the ground and the structure. Then plywood. Rodents, snakes, and other creepy-crawly things will find a way through any chicken wire. We will probably use coco wood, as it is cheaper where our home is. Most people in that area don't treat any wood, so it tends to deteriorate quickly. I'm planning for our cottages to last a lot longer. I just started watching your videos so I don't know how your mouse-in-the-house situation turned out. I hate killing things but I had mice scurry across my face in the bed. I found the only thing that solved mice in the house quickly is the one-dollar sticky traps with a little bate in the middle of them. The hard part for me is removing the traps after they catch mice and rats. They are cute little creators but can be very deadly.

Very cute build! I’m thinking “they are going to cook in that thing” due to all the insulation.

It’s got an old antique wood cookstove that has an oven and water heater, and the camp interior during Maine’s cold winters is so hot we have to open the windows to let cold air in or we’ll roast to death, LOL.

[@billfrederickfrederick2791]

My son and I built an equilateral A frame , floor and both sides are 16 foot...Length is 24 foot so that adds up to 384 square footprint set on some concrete blocks...When we built the A frame cabin I had visions of an upstairs loft , you know the whole bit....We were able to make a very small loft....( big disappointment )...with the wood stove burning the temperature in the loft is quite unbearable.. (impossible for sleeping )....If the sguare footage of the little A frame in the video is 10 x 10. That means my A frame is almost four times as big , and I can honestly say that my A frame is WAY too small for any more than two people . If your dream is to have " a little cabin in the woods " , believe me when I say a little cabin , is just that , too little ! Pretty soon you'll be making plans for an addition . Yes , an A frame is very strong and able to withstand tremendous snow loads that could likely collapse a lesser dwelling , but there is a lot of wasted space.....If I had it to do over , I wood forget about my "little cabin in the woods " , and build as big as I could afford cabin in the woods

Beautiful build. Just a little too small..my wife and I have been wanting to build an A frame on our muskoka property..

[@AndrewSzeto]

xjeepmanx amazing! ya i made this one to be under permit size. next build will be bigger!

[@29DPT]

I agree, i feel its too small and too tight, need a little more space, i love the design, is there a way to make it wider, but still keeping the triangle shape? and can you have this on wheels instead foundation to travel

Hi Andrew! I am going to be building the same thing, only in Tennessee! Can I ask the dimensions of yours? It seems like the perfect size for me!

[@AndrewSzeto]

Laura McDowell it’s a 10x10, tbh i’d build a 12x16 if possible! it’s would be way more worthwhile

[@lauramcdowell6687]

@@AndrewSzeto Ah! Ok! I was thinking about a 16x20, since this is going to be my permanent home. I noticed you used 12 concrete footings for yours, so do you think I would need more than that?? I appreciate your time and any advice you have!

[@AndrewSzeto]

Laura McDowell if it’s your permanent home, those are great dimensions and having a proper foundation might be key too!

[@jakevote8978]

Snowy weather ensures that the window is fully shrunken before installing, unintended benefit to keep a good seal year round 👍🏻

[@AndrewSzeto]

rad!! thanks for the info! haha didn't even know

[@jakevote8978]

Maynard you’re right, but with this install, the cold weather was definitely a benefit and will help keep things square
