    Sir - When you said... "On my 60th Birthday", a rush of Hope and Inspiration came to me. I've always wanted to do what you and your wife have accomplished. I will begin in the coming year to hopefully make our dream a reality as well. Great job! Thank You and Bless you and family.

    Великолепная работа!! Мне 40 лет и в этом году осенью мне предстоит такая же работа,но по строительству дома большего размера. Тоже из дерева,но в России. Надеюсь смогу построить также хорошо,как и вы!!!

    One of many of my observations; I have noticed is that When I have seen Farmers build a Cabin, they all do it almost perfectly! I Loved this Video! At my age of 73. Seeing a 60 year old man build a Superb Cabin, is showing that at even in your older years, it can be done! Thank You!

    My father my brother and I built 4 dugouts on our 500 + acres and we rent them out for three months out of the winter to out of state hunters. Each dugout has a wood stove and compost toilet and sleeps 4 people comfortably. It took years to kinda catch on but now I make 400 dollars a week per person. Four wheelers and side by sides are available for extra price. They are very nice and taken care of... I even lived in the first one we built for over 3 months.

    Building a 10 X 16 off grid cabin my self. I am not a trained builder but I did get help from my friend who is. He kept me out of making big mistakes. I am 67 he is 73. Do not let age stop you. We go slower than we used to but that all part of the fun.

      @@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work.
