  • I always get asked how much the cabin I built cost. Honestly, I wasn’t sure! So I went ahead and found all current material costs for anyone wondering if it’s within their budget.
    The plans I followed were From Deek. This isn’t my design. Here is a link to his plans that I used (I am in no way sponsored of affiliated, I just love his stuff!)

    Thanks so much for this - in every way.
    I've been looking for concrete breakdowns of prices AND materials for this build. But despite the number of videos I've watched on this design, I think this video has been the first to properly break it down so clearly/simply. Which has made it feel so much more real and achievable for me in my mind. These are definitely the kinds of videos people like me need to get out of their head and onto the dirt :)
    P.S I'm applauding the fact that you showed yourself on camera despite your hesitance.
    Wishing you the best, you have a great vibe!

  • @RPS2443

    Thanks so much for the breakdown on parts, it's obvious you spent a lot of time on it. It is especially helpful that you named the items used, as i didn't know what some of the roof parts were called! Keep on keeping on, and I hope things get better for you soon!

    • @desertsolidude
      @desertsolidude  Рік тому

      I believe wood was a lot cheaper when he made his video? Also this is 2x his original plan but that is still a bit of a difference in price. I’m honestly not really sure how you could build one that cheap other than using a lot of free materials.

    Currently looking into buy land in northern Arizona. I'm trying to do my homework and take as many notes as I can but I'm a complete noob. I have triplets on the way and would like to build a A frame cabin big enough to fit us all. If you have any advice on laws, permits and cost I'd greatly appreciate it. Love your videos 🧡🙏🏽

    • @desertsolidude
      @desertsolidude  Рік тому

      That sounds like an incredible undertaking I wish you the best of luck!
      Each county is a bit different regarding codes. Cochise has an owner opt out where you can forego any inspections or permitting. Pima county has a specific tiny house ordinance and allows for no permits for structured under 200sq ft if there is a main structure.
      I don’t know much about northern az but I’m sure they are not incredibly strict you can probably bring up the codes on the government site for whatever county it is.
      The reality is most people doing this type of stuff operate in very much a grey area and you have to kind of access the risk if you do decide to go a non traditional route.
      My best advice maybe would be to build something on wheels if possible. My friend who built a tiny house in New Hampshire got around all codes by just building on a trailer. Had a friend in New Orleans do the same thing and he gets no trouble.
      Wish you the best of luck hope that helps somewhat my email is desertswagman@gmail.com if you have more questions that don’t fit in a video response ✌️ 🙏

    Ugh... I know we should do this for more of our projects. I did it for the small bridge we made and wasn't too stunned with the total cost (we kept adding lumber, so the total amount was deceptive) over time. Not sure that I want to look through the total expenses for the bus build, but it actually probably wasn't that bad in the end... so maybe a video like this is worth making. Oh, and with a little time, you'll come out the other side of the tunnel you feel you're in. Been there. I know it isn't easy, but I can promise you it will get so much better.

    • @desertsolidude
      @desertsolidude  Рік тому

      Yeah y’all should definitely make one! Or two or three🤪It was nice finding out I spent less than I thought by a few thousand. Although I’m not sure where that money went?!😂 and thank you so much! For sure getting in a better and better place. it’s nice to have such a big project that takes up most of my energy😝

  • @antonijaput2949
    @antonijaput2949 Рік тому +1

    Thank you for this video. I was wondering - if you were building the same cabin now - what would you change? And what about heating and toilet? Any advice? I like this cabin very much, I would like to build one and spend weekends in it ... but I live in area where I will need heating... thank you!

    • @desertsolidude
      @desertsolidude  Рік тому +1

      Great question!
      I think the main thing I would do differently is make it wider than 10feet so the walls would be less steep and with the extra square footage I could fit a bathroom nook.
      I would also recommend maybe not installing the clear wall if you are somewhere very cold and also insulating.
      Installing the loft is key in winter you can buy a cheap little buddy heater and the heat will rise up in the loft and keep you toasty.
      I am building an outhouse for my toilet but another cheap option is googling camp toilet and just setting up inside when you need it.
      Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Your cabin is extra nice and I enjoyed the cost breakdown very much. I think you are a very sweet and nice guy, you will get more comfortable with the camera probably. good luck with your channel.

    I promise last comment you are incredibly talented. I’m obsessed with the deck the A-frame like the how you did the metal part off of the A-frame and then you got the wood everything about it is just so special. How the hell do you build that so cool made me realize there’s so much potential out there and I really appreciate the motivation and also just knowing and thinking that there’s a possibility I can’t thank you enough for your motivation. I’m so excited.

      You are allowed to park up an RV for a few years while building a main structure from my understanding without a septic which is in the works. Land was 8k. You can message me on Instagram @desertsolitudedude if you want more info! Can only fit so much here lol
