Building a cabin in the woods, from log to lumber. An off-grid DIY project with friends.

A few years after our cabin burned in a wildfire Molly and I were inspired to build another where it stood. Just for funsies. This one would be much more humble. Less a tiny house and more a modern take on your basic alpine hut that stocks the essentials. 200 square feet, saltbox roof, unconventional and exposed framing, a simple kitchen. Room to comfortably sleep three.
All the wood--other than the floor joists and plywood--was either chainsaw milled by us on site, or is salvage from a farm about 20 miles down the coast. It's all redwood, except the doug fir floor.
The trees we milled were all killed in the wildfire, then either fell in winter storms, or were felled by us. That wood was dried for about a year and the build took over a following five months.
Materials cost was $17,400. The bulk of that was in the salvaged old growth redwood ($7100) and the French doors and two sliding windows that we purchased ($5400). Of course this doesn't include the tools, the workshop, the land, the lessons along the way, or the 40 years of food, shelter, and genetic success required to bring all of us to this moment.
Helping hands, in order of appearance: Molly, Joey, Jake, Ben C, Jason, Emily, Ian, Jon, Ben S, Kate, Darren, Chris, Leah, Maxson, Simone, Gabriel, Allie, Pedro, Selen, Rachel, John, Andrew, Lumen, Rob, Parker, Linda, and Carey.
Woodstove is a 3kw model from Tiny Woodstove, futon mattresses is a J-life shikifuton, toilet is Throne Composting Toilets, cooktop is a Flame King, lights are solar shed lights, chainsaw mill is a Granberg. Curtain fabric from Handa Textiles. Cordless tools are Milwaukee but I wouldn't read too much into that... all pro-grade tools are fairly comparable and brand allegiance is largely a testament to battery investment.

I love this side of youtube. No hate, no drama, no fast-living modern world. Just a dude having fun with his hobby in silence and peace
Thanks so much. Appreciate your appreciation.

Great job. My 5 year old who is very into building all the things wants you all to know he is very proud of you.

This is not DIY, this looks like a professional. Beautiful cabin 👏👏
One of the best solid cabin I’ve seen built…well done guysS greetings from down under Australia….stay safe
You put beauty into basic.
That was the goal. Thanks for appreciating.
The production value on Milwaukee tool's newest commercial really seemed different this go around... Amazing work Jeff & friends ❤
Very obvious isn't it?
The community aspect of your builds is the most inspiring piece. I took to heart your previous post about involving friends and family and will be involving a motley crew later this fall on a big deck rebuild.
The only thing I'd add into this: rock wool on walls plus tongue & groove on the insides. But I know it must be hella expensive. What a gorgeous piece of art.
Excellent job all around, the building skill level, the design choices, the filming. You nailed it 🤙

Building a wooden house in the forest brings a sense of peace. Surrounded by nature, with the warmth and scent of wood, this house is a perfect retreat for those looking to escape the stresses of modern life. A beautiful example of craftsmanship and respect for nature!✨🌲🏕️

@@timpalmiter1606that's what women sound like
best thing ive ever seen ( as a carpenter )
That’s quite the compliment coming from a (what I hope is good) carpenter.
Found a lot of joy watching this. Thanks for sharing!
Cannot believe the craftsmanship that went into this cabin, Job well done!
Thanks so much.
It’s always fascinating to see how you use natural resources to build
Ok this looks amazing and there’s some fantastic editing as well as craftsmanship on display, but where’s the insulation? Surely the cabin would have benefited from at least some wall insulation let alone underfloor and in the ceiling?
Nah, we're good. It's meant to be a fairly basic shelter-- not a home, not a vacation cabin-- with exposed framing (so no insulation) and you can get away with a lot with coastal California weather. Never all that cold or hot.
No electrical. No plumbing. No insulation. It might look nice, but it's just elevated essentials.
Nice 😊
@@jeffreywaldman Famous last words!
Всем крепкого здоровья!
That is a spectacular little cabin. The lines are clean, the wood is warm and the rooms are functional. Nice build, well done.
A thing of love and beauty. Thank you.
Love the old Toyota pick up!
honestly this is like the perfect size for me. so quick to clean. That wood is B.E.A.UTIFUL
Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Wow big congratulations on the result such a beautiful cabin. ❤
that's some beautiful wood color.
Really good workmanship! my dream when i was 12 years old🤣
The house fits the mountain scene so well
Amazing work! It's very inspiring to see the evolution on the craftsmanship over the years! This cabin is gold and the wood is amazing!! Inspires me to look at the smallest detail of my builds!!!

I'm truly inspired. Thank you so much.

This is truly amazing! I wish it were mine. Gramma Candy. I do live in an Amish built shed to home and I love it.
Nice tinny home👍👍
Very good job. Ciai from Italy. Lori
How lovely.
Very impressive work. Subed
What a beautiful creation ❤️
Really nice cabin and very nice work but….no insulation at all? That stove is gonna be workin hard.
It's not. Small space and coastal California temperatures. See my other replies for insulation stuff.
@@jeffreywaldman gotcha, for some reason I assumed you were more in the pacific north west. Thanks for the correction!
One of my favorit..😊 Nice work
What a view, nice crew, and that cabin! Wow.
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! I didn't think you could top your previous cabin build, but here you are proving me wrong. Congratulations! This is something I could definitely build for my kids one day.
Wow, very well done! This is an exceptional project and documentary of it, highly enjoyable. Which state was this built in? Truly beautiful place and cabin, thank you for sharing!!
Omg nice build. Whoever was manning the camera and did the edits, good job.
A spectacular view for this cabin. I really liked the pacing of this video- just a few seconds of each major step along the way. It's a beauty, congrats, enjoy!
Very beautiful and balanced
Amei essa cabana!!!

Hi there Good job have good day
Good building

I love your work
great build!
nice job well done
Mantap, ini terbaik. I m from indonesia, your video good🔥🔥🔥
Spraying the insolation sack or canopy with a anti paracite like termite can improves plank,frames and board a lot better, ut marinate the wood and stays in wood to protect up to 80yrs without maintenancing the wood.
Its like a wet canopy or insolation, installing it wet, if the planks arent sprayed anti termites before completely closing/covering it. ..
The cabin, the view, beautiful
Inspirational work.
This house is amazing!❤❤
just beautiful. all of it. great job.
Wow you great 🤩
this is BnB level of craftmanship! well done to you and your friends
Con esos recursos todo debe salir bien. NO obstante, felicidades..
Incrível trabalho,vocês são ótimos...saudações do Brasil

Great video 🔆👍🏽
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU SO DAMN MUCH!
บ้านคุณสวยและน่าอยู่มาก
A thing of beauty.
The place looks amazing!
My compliments to the crew!
Do kinda think it's weird seeing a group of hawthorne Yuppies out of the city, up in the hills and actually building something when they're more about book clubs and tofu farts. How did that happen?
Totally. Maybe a good opportunity to examine one’s assumptions.
such a beautiful house ❤👍
Simply stunning!
wonderful project.
Wow you are amazing!!!!!! I wonder f you can build more like these in different parts of the world
I love it
So clean!
