  • In this video I show you how I built I a tiny cabin in a forest of the Azores islands. The cabin has a dimension of 10 square meters, and is entirely built with Japanese cedar wood. The price of the materials was around 3000 EUR (3200 USD), and I needed approximately 15 days to build it.

    A constructive criticism, I personally would never, on a sheet metal roof, put screws to hold it between the lowest part, that is just the top as you did, but the bottom, never! That's where the water passes constantly, and the rubber that prevents water from entering, doesn't last forever. A corrugated roof like this always has to be screwed on top of the highest wave, because we know perfectly well that the water passes through the lowest wave. I'm no construction expert and I've never built a house like this, but that's the logic of things. if the water passes through the bottom part I will not put screws in that area. 😅✌
    Besides, I personally couldn't have built it better! very well made and solid, both in summer and winter. 👍

    Why did you not place pillars under the center floor joist? Is it because the square footage is small enough that the house will be strong enough without it? I would worry that over time, the center of the main floor will sag. I'm not a builder, but want to learn.

    • @WildGnomos
      @WildGnomos  3 місяці тому +1

      The cabin is relatively small, and both pillars are less than 3 meters apart, which is enough, since the main weight is on the sides.

      It depends on the machine I use. I have three 5 mAh batteries and they give me enough to work for about 3 hours uninterrupted. Fortunately, not all the work is cutting or sanding, the main thing is moving things from point A to point B and from B to C🤣.

    Where do you get all your lumber? What is the actual cost (relistically) of the cabin. I know how much screws cost, & you use a lot. Maby they fall off of trees where you live, but in the usa they are expensive.

    • @WildGnomos
      @WildGnomos  11 місяців тому

      A box of 500 screws costs between 20 and 30 euros. This cabin will be able to carry about 2500 screws, so the cost does not reach 120 euros. I buy the wood directly from the local sawmill, which provides me with raw (unsanded) wood. In the US it is common to see videos that buy wood in carpentry, and not in sawmills, which easily doubles or triples its cost. The wood pillars I obtained from my land, that I have many acacia trees. The windows and door are recycled, that is, they have not cost anything. If I had to buy them, their price would probably be 500 or 600 euros. The most "expensive" part of the cabin is probably the sheet metal on the roof, because this material is not produced on the island. Also, since the island is small, the transport of the materials is free. If the cost surprises you, try using recycled components, and buy local materials.

      The cabin is built with Japanese cedar wood, most raw. Windows, doors, handwork and pillars were free!
