I have searched high and low on UA-cam for an A frame cabin build With good detail and one that I’m looking to build myself ! Well this is it for me ! Love the A frame you and your family have built . Thanks for sharing this on UA-cam .
I used 2x8's for the trusses and they sandwich between 2-2x6's that form the floor joists. If you don't have the Book listed in the description, get it. It will show you the basics. Well worth it for a build like this.
My wife and I are planning formoir eventually retirement. One of the things we are planning is a small a-frame cabin very similar to this to be built in the mountains of Arizona. Your cabin is lovely, well thought out, and built well. I've enjoyed your videos, thank you for helping give me and my wife and idea of what we could eventually accomplish.
Hi Jim, greetings from Sydney, Australia! 🇦🇺 What a beautiful cabin you have built! By far the best A frame cabin I have ever seen. I love the glass front and the tiny combustion stove.
Fantastic job on your cabin. We have an off grid cabin in West Virginia, and it is nice to get away from civilization to some piece and quiet. Our cell service is very spotty there, and that is a blessing also.
Great job... everything looks really well done. Kudos to your wife for making the cabinets; they turned out well. I love the ladder, and the placement is so smart. But I think I might want some privacy if it were my room... maybe a sliding curtain or panel. The shower/ sauna room will be super nice! Beautiful home, and you should each be very proud.
Thank you. Our bedroom has a barn door for privacy that didn't show up well in the video. The loft is open for now, and the kids love it that way. I appreciate your compliments. Stay tuned for the shower house build!
Good use of space, I have looking for cool designs for Aframes for a few weeks and this has opened my mind to new ideas. You and your family did a great job!
Beautiful ❤ great job! This would be so nice to have for anyone who loves cabin life! I especially like the wood beams. Happy memories to you and your family.
Scotland? That sounds amazing. I've always wanted to visit there. It is where my wife's ancestors are from. Best of luck to you. My build video is coming soon, and I hope it will be helpful to you. Thank you for watching.
Man this is beautiful! You and your family did a great job. I dont know if someone already asked this in the comments, but; how did you go about digging the well? Once again, absolutley incredible job! I hope you all enjoy it for years to come. All the best!
Thank you! We Built the cabin ourselves and I actually tried to dig a well myself but ended up hiring a driller for the well. Check out that process here ua-cam.com/video/XqBr-hdRAnc/v-deo.htmlsi=LTJDyxy3aKVy6bm9
I absolutely love the store front glass and framing, is that tubelite? Lol Well done my man, how long you been glazing? Not many people know what a Glazier is, I myself have to explain to people I don't glaze donuts for a living lol Love the cabin brotha.
I am glad you love it. Oldcastle storefront. I have been a Glazier for 25 years. Started when I was 23. It is a great trade to be in. Thank you for your compliments.
That is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect size. What do you do for security? Is the property fenced, do you have cameras around the property, any issues with jerks trying to break in, any issues with pipes freezing? Thank you for showing us your beautiful home and answering our questions.
That is a great idea for a video. Great question and too much for me to answer in a comment. Stay tuned and this spring I will do a video about what I do for security. Thank you for watching.
Friggin love it awesome job would like to do something like this on some property in New Hampshire. Really enjoyed the video have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Mass.
Outdoor showers are the best. When I was looking for my land, I was living out of a friend's storage shed behind her house. I built an outdoor shower out of cedar and used a point-of-use 10 gallon water heater while I was there. The cool nights of northern Washington were clear and bright with stars. It got a little sketchy with the raccoons and the occasional bear, but I loved it. Nothing like watching shooting starts while you're rising off.
Probably the nicest A-frame I’ve seen so far. It’s way off the ground. ABSOLUTELY love the pillars. How’s the crawl space? The glass is GREAT. The deck is better than fine. Wonder, would you have liked more overhang on the front and back for weather protection? Thank you for sharing…from an old vet, retired in the foothills of east Tennessee Smokies.
Thank you for the kind compliments. The crawl space is open, but the floor is insulated. I plan on skirting it at some point when we live there full time. There are times that I wish I would have made the overhang deeper but mainly only heavy snow years. Thank you sir for your service to our country. God bless.
Sounds like a very fun experience for the whole family. You did a top notch job. A place to be proud of for sure, well done 👍
Thank you sir!

What size of lumber did you use for the 20x20x20 triangle?
Thank you. I am glad you like it! It's comments like this that make it worth the effort. Much appreciated.
I used 2x8's for the trusses and they sandwich between 2-2x6's that form the floor joists. If you don't have the Book listed in the description, get it. It will show you the basics. Well worth it for a build like this.
Some of my best memories are in a cottage with a metal roof in the rain!! Out house, hand pump and fish in the lake!! MAGICAL!
Sounds wonderful. Joy in simplicity!

20 seconds in and i already love it, seeing the inside was just a bonus.
Thank you so much!
So nice! Amazing to be able to build this slice of heaven as a family.
THAT is freakin awesome!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE it!!
Excellent job‼️👊🏼
Thank you so much! I am glad you like it.
Beautiful build. I really appreciate all of the storage you manage to incorporate into the structure
Thank you. We tried to make use of all available space.
This is almost the exact dimensions I'm building to. Thanks for sharing this. Really helps me visualize my future!
Awesome! Best of luck on your build.
First thing i saw was the window system. I did that for 40 years. Very nice work. Got a high school buddy did something similar. You love what you do.
Thank you. I have been in the business for 25 years. I do love what I do. Thank you for the compliment.
Hi Jim, greetings from Sydney, Australia! 🇦🇺 What a beautiful cabin you have built! By far the best A frame cabin I have ever seen. I love the glass front and the tiny combustion stove.
That is a wonderful compliment. Thank you.
Wow man this is nice. Perfect size. All it needs now is a little barrel sauna or wood fired hottub and you're mint.
Awe, yes, a sauna. That sounds pretty great right now. It is definitely on my build list!
What a beautiful little cabin, thanks for the tour!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic job on your cabin. We have an off grid cabin in West Virginia, and it is nice to get away from civilization to some piece and quiet. Our cell service is very spotty there, and that is a blessing also.
I agree. One of my favorite things about being there is disconnecting. No calls, no distractions. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful A frame 😊.
Thank you!
Fantastic work!

I agree! Outdoor showers are the best. Thank you for sharing and watching. One of my next videos will show you my Outdoor Shower setup.
That doesn’t sound very fun in the winter!
Super impressive
