I Build a GUEST CABIN in OUR Woods - Start to Finish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 тра 2024
- A simple hammer and a few basic hand tools were used to build our cozy 12' x 16' off grid mountain cabin with a 12' x 20' deck. I built this cabin by myself beginning on my 60th birthday over a period of 6 months. STAY TUNED! * Kitchen, bath, bedroom cabin additions will be added soon!

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.
Wonderful!
Me too!!!
Those three words that start 70% of all projects...MY WIFE WANTED. Such is life.
As an experienced -yet- aging general contractor, I gotta say, my elbow hurts watching you swing that hickory handle framing hammer. I’m impressed with hand nailing everything. And Larry Haun would be proud.
Best comment ever... Thank you!
As someone who has never swung a hammer and only used hobby air tools, does hammer type matter?
@@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work.
modern tradesman don’t face nail much of anything anymore but it’s fun to watch someone do it the old way.
Have I seen this done before. Yes. Am I going to watch another one for the 100th time.. yes yes 😂
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.
Would love to see a video tour. Sounds so cool
This is awesome!
Where I live in Montana the money season is Memorial Day to Labour day
How do you build to insure no water gets in? Always wondered when I watch them being built how they divert water when it rains or snow melt😮
That is So Awesome 😂❤🎉
You did better than some professionals I see on a daily basis
That's quite a compliment, thank you.
เก่งจัง
keeps a body and mind YOUNG, to do this!! Nice hammerwork! Great attitude, too. 73-here, just finished self-building my 7th ECOhome. After the catamaran :-) Whewwwww...the dreams NEVER stop. May I suggest for anyone thinking of doing this, to FIRST plant some fruit trees. No reason to wait, right?! :-) Sempre avanti.... (now I offer FREE Plans for anyone willing to self-build, cause in 2024 there is NO other way) Say...that IS DF or SYP wood, right? Too-bad its NOT 2x6. BIG difference. Ahhhhh....this guys "young", he'll learn from this! haaaaaa
Grazie! Sempre avanti!
@@offgridchallenge and don't forget that boat to still build :-) Maybe an Escargot? Or an ECO6? A micro-canalboat is what I've next ahead. Are you wishing you'd built that 2nd floor? My designs always seem to be that!
Bad ass good job
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!!!
Спасибо и удачи!
What a gift from God, Moe. You did splendid carpentry work on the cabin. ❤️
It is amazing. Mo is very talented IMO. Pink
One word ,,perfect
You may not be a "professional builder by trade", but this is beyond professional quality sir. Excellent job and great video showing the whole process. An awesome little getaway on the homestead. Beautiful cabin.
Best compliment ever! Thank you.
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.
Hello,... Super nice!!! Well done, enjoy.
You certainly have a great eye and talent for carpentry. Reminds me of the house my grandfather built unfortunately my carpentry skills are pretty modest but 2 of my sons inherited the carpentry gene luckily LOL.
Awesome job Moe!
Learning by watching I love building from you tube
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!!😇
Thanks 👍
Where’s the bathroom? Water source?
Coming in the future... Kitchenette, full bathroom, and bedroom
Beautiful to see husband and wife on a project especially in their later years. 55 and hoping to get my chance to build one (at least a shed) before its too late. Congratulations, Job well done.
Thank you! You can do it too!
Very well done.👍
Beautiful 🤩👌🏻
Like it very much especially the windows. Only 2 complaints no roof over porch and no bedroom.
We will be adding more at a later time
The wood stove and hearth is really nice.
Dam that's a good hammer . Best hammer I seen on youtube by far . Nice job on the cabin 👍🏻
Best hammer ever for sure! Thanks.
Awesome job,hats off to you,beautiful
Thank you very much!
Very nice guys happy 60 mo.❤
Just one word....BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Beautiful job.
Super! 🇸🇪👍⭐️💯🎖🏆
Wonderful job!
So cozy, thank You.
When I think of what "Happily Ever Looks Like", I know living here could be included. I love this cabin and would it would make me so happy to own some woods with a little cabin.
Your pain can be greatly reduced by going on a carnivore diet. No carbs. No sugar. Try it out. Nice build. My GF and i are building similar in the woods of upstate NY
Yes... Sugar is the silent killer. I tried eliminating sugar for a few months and I did notice a big difference. Best of luck with your build.
Beautiful video 😉
YOU are numero 1.🌟🥇🏆🥇
Bravoooo, BRAVOOO 👏👏👏
What a beautiful job!! That is a dream of ours also. 🏠
Great work!
Thanks!
What a great design - build - awesome Moe! Now get out the bear skin rug and pink and a bottle of wine! Awesome filming editing And narration!
Very nice!!
You'll be opening those windows in the winter lol
This is absolutely perfect.
Thank you
From start to finish. Maybe your best video 👍

You did an excellent job on this cabin. I love it! You inspire me. I am 62 and you give me inspiration. Thank you for that. I want to build a chicken coop. I like the hammer and nails. That is how we learn to build growing up. Lots of blessings to you and again thank you.
Go for it! 62 is the new 30! Thank you, and best of luck.

Nice work. Very professional. God bless ya.
This is perfect for a staycation. Save your money on extravagant vacations.
Yes! The cabin is close enough that we can still take care of our farm, yet far enough that we feel like we are someplace else, and enjoy a different section of our property.
at 60? youve got balls of solid rock! my 8x12 a fame makes me feel like a wussy! way to go brother!
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Very beautiful cabin.
Thank you
When trimming your windows try running the side trim long on the bottom and fill in between with bottom trim that way the water runs vertical with the seems instead of rotting your bottom piece
Right on!
I admire your efforts and thank you for sharing.
I appreciate that!
Looks amazing, nice job.
Thanks!
WONDERFUL BUILD
Thank you
Your cabin is beautiful !!!
Thank you!
Thank you for confirming what I been thinking about doing when I build my cabin next spring and That is putting the bubble foil down over the floor joist before the plywood. I've never seen it done before and was going to do it anyway! great build and video!
For our instance the bubble wrap was enough since we live in a mild climate. If you live in a cold climate however, full insulation would be advisable.
I'd love to see him do that plus add insulation and a plastic moisture barrier....😮 to the bottom side of the subfloor. Because of course you would cover the bottom of the cabin to keep the critters out!
@@offgridchallengeI’m building one very similar … 10x20 .. we built to 10x10 walls and covered them with plywood … painted it and then laid them down and tied them together and filled the floor with styrofoam recycled from another project .. then built the walls similar to yours …
Age is just a number ... take good care and continue to entertain us and teach us .
Nice work!!
Great job!!!!
Thank you
It looks great! Y'all did a wonderful job! ❤❤❤ Love it❤❤❤
Great job on the cabin...🎥😃👍👌👊💪💪💪
Great job well done 👏🏽
Thank you 🤗
I don’t know if this is the same everywhere but where I live in NW Ohio if you have a building that’s not on a foundation such as this you don’t have to pay property taxes on the building.
I LOVE the owl painting!!!!! We had one just like that in our house when I was a kid.❤️
Just beautiful, Bravo Sir!
Many thanks!
Great video! Thanks for the upload!!👍🙂
You are a professional builder. Excellent JOB!
It's just perfect work! Really impressiv
Thanks a lot!
kakek bukan sembarang kakek. amazing sir
I'm 4yr. From retirement in Minnesota I'm contemplating a small piece of land in Missouri for a 16x20 cabin for me and my wife away from the cold winters to live in.
Best of luck!
Jod well done!
LOVED THE VIDEO GOD BLESS
Fiquei impressionada com o nivelamento. E que capricho!!! Parabéns!!
This is beautiful. Great design.
Thanks!
Thank you for showing us. You made lots of windows for natural light to come through and a natural resource of heat (fireplace) its comfortable, simple but elegant and definitely my taste. You also didnt shy away with the space of the deck! ❤
Thanks so much, so glad you like it :) Happy New Year! @@nabilblack
Absolutely gorgeous, amazing!👏👏 I watched the video at 2am and enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing 💞
Glad you enjoyed it!
Entire weight of this structure resets upon the sheer strength of framing nails.
For all of the effort, that single decision will bring this down quicker than necessary.
You must have missed the addition of lag screws and anchors I installed.
Not to mention structural screws everywhere.
Wow wow wow!!!!!!! Incredible ❤
Woa woa căn nhà thật đẹp anh thật khéo tay chúc anh có một sức khoẻ tốt ❤❤❤❤❤
Cảm ơn
You made it look so easy. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, very inspiring!
Thank you.
Great job! You remind me of “Essential Craftsman.” Keep up the good work!
Wow, thanks!
