Two Years Building an ORIGINAL Off Grid Lumber Log Cabin in the Woods | Start to Finish | The Reveal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- Started in late October/early November 2021. This video is the complete build process from foundation all the way thru to furnishing it.
Cabin was built using LumberLogs made from sandwiched 2x8 dimensional lumber to give it the look and feel of “real logs”. This method allows anyone with basic construction know how, to build a "Log Cabin"
Cabin Dimensions:
Main Cabin 12’W x 16’D
Bedroom 10’W x 8’D
Bathroom 4”W x 8’D
Loft Area above Kitchen 12’W x 6’D
Loft Area above Living Room 6’W x 10’ D
Total Sq Ft: 432
Special thanks to my wife for holding it down at home and allowing me to spend every free weekend these past 2 years building. I hope our kids, our grandkids, and their kids enjoy what God has blessed us with for many years to come.
Shout out to My Self Reliance for inspiring this build and Bushradical for practical wood working tips and tricks. Your channels have helped thousands, including myself.

You’ve worked so hard and the cabin is just perfect…cozy, quaint, comfortable, functional, and inviting. It’s better than I ever imagined. I’m looking forward to making lots of memories there together. I’m so proud of you. 😘
Keep going bro! You can rent thos (these - in the future) for crazy money! The kids want the "experience* without the work! OR... live a blissful life without all the BS! Either way, you've done great work!
love it great job . filming was great too.
Congratulations!
Thank you!

Jamie
Your cabin looks like it’s been there 150 years. Amazing job
Thank you. That was the goal. I’m an old soul.
Desde 🇪🇸 España en el Mediterráneo,
Enhorabuena.
Fabuloso !!! ❤
Thanks for watching 👍
I too have watched every episode and appreciate your vision and work ethic. I look forward to watching you build the bridge and future cabin.
Thank you very much! It’s been a journey. More to come.
What a gorgeous cabin 😊
Thank you 👍
This video kept coming up as a recommendation and I finally said, "I'll give it 10 minutes and see what happens." I'm 20 minutes in and have decided me and my husband will have to watch this build from the beginning. We both love Shawn James/My Self Reliance and have been with him since near the beginning of his previous cabin build and I know we will enjoy your journey as well.
I love the idea of LumberLogs. It does make building something like this much more accessible to the "average Joe" though hauling around one 2x8 can be challenging much less three of them tied together! We both have experience in building houses so this would actually be something we could do as opposed to what Shawn has done. I'm really looking forward to digging into this series and seeing the details of how you put things together as well as your tasty looking meals. Those shots are some of my favorites in Shawn's videos! 😊
Thanks for the comment. I'm a fan of his work 👍
What an awesome cabin ❤
Thanks 👍
J'adore cette cabane, bravo monsieur vous avez fait un très bon travail
Какая прелесть, фазаны(надеюсь это они) гуляют, ручей журчит, природа👍
Thank you 👍
Amazing what you can accomplish when you have an idea and you keep your feet moving. Must be an incredible feeling to inhabit a place you built with your own two hands. Well done!
Beautiful Place, a Man built upon it a Cabin of equal Beauty, looking as if it had always been there. Fantastic work!
Thanks for watching 👍You must be a writer?
So much love 💕 God bless your efforts I cried like a baby so moved thank you
Happy wife happy life😮😮😮
Words cannot express how I feel about the cabin you have built to say it is beautiful is a understatement congratulations !!!!!!!!
Thank you. Your comment is much appreciated 👍
I've followed from the beginning and you did not disappoint. Thank you. Enjoy your lovely cabin in the woods.
Thanks for following all the way through. Much more on the way 👍
Love it! Your wife is so Blessed to have you. Love the cabin in the woods, away from reality.
Thank you 👍
I have watched all saved the best for last. The total look around and build was amazing. The last few minutes when you lit the candles was the best. Then put everything away and sat beside your girl and no Eletronic device just you her and a cabin in the woods. Just think half way through you had some doughts but in the end you brought it all together. I'm very Proud of you. I'm just a new sub but you have done what a ton of people would like to do. I built a 3 story barn 60x80 myself. Took several years. We lived in town for over a year until we could move in to a part of it. It's a joy inside when you can step back and see and live your results. I thank the Lord for his protection during the building. I did have help framing but after that, it was me and my wife. We still live here on our acreage. Kudos to you!
Thanks. It is really nice to be comfortable staying there now. Take care!
You did a truly amazing job, it's beautiful 😊😊😊😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Felicidades!!! Por una casa tan preciosa y por tantisimo talento👏👏👏👏.
Thanks for watching 👍
Off-grid cabin building and solitary living are very appealing to watch. To be surrounded by trees, stream and nature as you work out your place creates a kind of longing for solitude and oneness with nature. Love to watch how your work progresses!
Well said!
Great job. I have really enjoyed your building project!
Thank you very much!
It’s been great to watch this come together. Perfect. What is the very calming music that you end the video with? Love that.
Glad you enjoyed it. I think it's Just Like Yesterday by Mark Grundhoefer.
Like everyone else, I love the cabin! I want to complement you on your video editing, and music selections. Perfect combination.
Thank you for noticing. I spent a lot of time trying to get the right mix.
I’m so pleased and proud to know you Jamie…You’ve done an AMAZING JOB!!! Wish i could have pulled up a chair by the stream and just watched! Huge accomplishment for someone alone! Sooo glad you were not hurt!!! I can’t wait to see your other accomplishments because i know you…and I know there WILL BE MORE TO COME!!! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!
Big hug from an old friend!
Proud of you!!! ❤️💛💜
