- Off grid cabin build in the woods... A simple hammer and a few basic hand tools were used to complete our 12' x 16' mountain cabin and large 12' x 20' deck. I built this cabin alone beginning on my 60th birthday over a period of 6 months to full completion of the build. Also... Kitchen, bath, bedroom cabin additions will be added...

Those three words that start 70% of all projects...MY WIFE WANTED. Such is life.
Sir - When you said... "On my 60th Birthday", a rush of Hope and Inspiration came to me. I've always wanted to do what you and your wife have accomplished. I will begin in the coming year to hopefully make our dream a reality as well. Great job! Thank You and Bless you and family.
Wonderful!
Me too!!!
One of many of my observations; I have noticed is that When I have seen Farmers build a Cabin, they all do it almost perfectly! I Loved this Video! At my age of 73. Seeing a 60 year old man build a Superb Cabin, is showing that at even in your older years, it can be done! Thank You!
As an experienced -yet- aging general contractor, I gotta say, my elbow hurts watching you swing that hickory handle framing hammer. I’m impressed with hand nailing everything. And Larry Haun would be proud.
Best comment ever... Thank you!
As someone who has never swung a hammer and only used hobby air tools, does hammer type matter?
@@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work.
modern tradesman don’t face nail much of anything anymore but it’s fun to watch someone do it the old way.
You may not be a "professional builder by trade", but this is beyond professional quality sir. Excellent job and great video showing the whole process. An awesome little getaway on the homestead. Beautiful cabin.
Best compliment ever! Thank you.
My father my brother and I built 4 dugouts on our 500 + acres and we rent them out for three months out of the winter to out of state hunters. Each dugout has a wood stove and compost toilet and sleeps 4 people comfortably. It took years to kinda catch on but now I make 400 dollars a week per person. Four wheelers and side by sides are available for extra price. They are very nice and taken care of... I even lived in the first one we built for over 3 months.
Would love to see a video tour. Sounds so cool
This is awesome!
Where I live in Montana the money season is Memorial Day to Labour day
How do you build to insure no water gets in? Always wondered when I watch them being built how they divert water when it rains or snow melt😮
That is So Awesome 😂❤🎉
What a gift from God, Moe. You did splendid carpentry work on the cabin. ❤️
It is amazing. Mo is very talented IMO. Pink
What a great design - build - awesome Moe! Now get out the bear skin rug and pink and a bottle of wine! Awesome filming editing And narration!
Learning by watching I love building from you tube
Building a 10 X 16 off grid cabin my self. I am not a trained builder but I did get help from my friend who is. He kept me out of making big mistakes. I am 67 he is 73. Do not let age stop you. We go slower than we used to but that all part of the fun.
You certainly have a great eye and talent for carpentry. Reminds me of the house my grandfather built unfortunately my carpentry skills are pretty modest but 2 of my sons inherited the carpentry gene luckily LOL.
Just one word....BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Beautiful video 😉
YOU are numero 1.🌟🥇🏆🥇
Bravoooo, BRAVOOO 👏👏👏
Dam that's a good hammer . Best hammer I seen on youtube by far . Nice job on the cabin 👍🏻
Best hammer ever for sure! Thanks.
Super! 🇸🇪👍⭐️💯🎖🏆
The wood stove and hearth is really nice.
Hello,... Super nice!!! Well done, enjoy.
When I think of what "Happily Ever Looks Like", I know living here could be included. I love this cabin and would it would make me so happy to own some woods with a little cabin.
keeps a body and mind YOUNG, to do this!! Nice hammerwork! Great attitude, too. 73-here, just finished self-building my 7th ECOhome. After the catamaran :-) Whewwwww...the dreams NEVER stop. May I suggest for anyone thinking of doing this, to FIRST plant some fruit trees. No reason to wait, right?! :-) Sempre avanti.... (now I offer FREE Plans for anyone willing to self-build, cause in 2024 there is NO other way) Say...that IS DF or SYP wood, right? Too-bad its NOT 2x6. BIG difference. Ahhhhh....this guys "young", he'll learn from this! haaaaaa
Grazie! Sempre avanti!
@@offgridchallenge and don't forget that boat to still build :-) Maybe an Escargot? Or an ECO6? A micro-canalboat is what I've next ahead. Are you wishing you'd built that 2nd floor? My designs always seem to be that!
From start to finish. Maybe your best video 👍
Very nice guys happy 60 mo.❤
One word ,,perfect
Fantastic cabin and video. You did an amazing job all around. Your homestead is growing in leaps and bounds because you both work so hard. Thank you for showing that a dream can come true with determination. Blessings❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Bad ass good job
Wonderful job!
Awesome job Moe!
Великолепная работа!! Мне 40 лет и в этом году осенью мне предстоит такая же работа,но по строительству дома большего размера. Тоже из дерева,но в России. Надеюсь смогу построить также хорошо,как и вы!!!
Спасибо и удачи!
You did better than some professionals I see on a daily basis
That's quite a compliment, thank you.
Awesome job,hats off to you,beautiful
Thank you very much!
What a beautiful job!! That is a dream of ours also. 🏠

Like it very much especially the windows. Only 2 complaints no roof over porch and no bedroom.

Wow That's Amazingly Beautiful Guy's Congratulations On A Job Well Done Beautiful Cabin Love It 🤗❤🙏
Very well done.👍
So cozy, thank You.
Beautiful job.
Have I seen this done before. Yes. Am I going to watch another one for the 100th time.. yes yes 😂
Beautiful to see husband and wife on a project especially in their later years. 55 and hoping to get my chance to build one (at least a shed) before its too late. Congratulations, Job well done.
Thank you! You can do it too!
You'll be opening those windows in the winter lol
Great job on the cabin...🎥😃👍👌👊💪💪💪
Your pain can be greatly reduced by going on a carnivore diet. No carbs. No sugar. Try it out. Nice build. My GF and i are building similar in the woods of upstate NY
Yes... Sugar is the silent killer. I tried eliminating sugar for a few months and I did notice a big difference. Best of luck with your build.
You did an excellent job on this cabin. I love it! You inspire me. I am 62 and you give me inspiration. Thank you for that. I want to build a chicken coop. I like the hammer and nails. That is how we learn to build growing up. Lots of blessings to you and again thank you.
Go for it! 62 is the new 30! Thank you, and best of luck.
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!!😇
Thanks 👍
Where’s the bathroom? Water source?
Coming in the future... Kitchenette, full bathroom, and bedroom

nice
When trimming your windows try running the side trim long on the bottom and fill in between with bottom trim that way the water runs vertical with the seems instead of rotting your bottom piece
You are a professional builder. Excellent JOB!
Cool😊
BEAUTIFUL❤
Absolutely gorgeous, amazing!👏👏 I watched the video at 2am and enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing 💞

Very beautiful cabin.
Thank you
LOVED THE VIDEO GOD BLESS
Looks amazing, nice job.
Thanks!
Beautiful job ! Love it !
You made it look so easy. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for confirming what I been thinking about doing when I build my cabin next spring and That is putting the bubble foil down over the floor joist before the plywood. I've never seen it done before and was going to do it anyway! great build and video!
For our instance the bubble wrap was enough since we live in a mild climate. If you live in a cold climate however, full insulation would be advisable.
I'd love to see him do that plus add insulation and a plastic moisture barrier....😮 to the bottom side of the subfloor. Because of course you would cover the bottom of the cabin to keep the critters out!
@@offgridchallengeI’m building one very similar … 10x20 .. we built to 10x10 walls and covered them with plywood … painted it and then laid them down and tied them together and filled the floor with styrofoam recycled from another project .. then built the walls similar to yours …
Wow thats one amazing cabin! Great job , it looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much!
Great job!
Great job well done 👏🏽
Thank you 🤗
Wow wow wow!!!!!!! Incredible ❤
I don’t know if this is the same everywhere but where I live in NW Ohio if you have a building that’s not on a foundation such as this you don’t have to pay property taxes on the building.
I LOVE the owl painting!!!!! We had one just like that in our house when I was a kid.❤️
Nice work!!
Awesome work
Incredible attention to detail. Your work is just as good as anything I've seen on TH-cam. Mostly by yourself and with physical ailments. I envy your tenacity and attention to detail. Impressive!!! Motivates me to do more things like this. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Hats off to both of you! I love your off grid cabin!!!! I'd like to build one myself but am afraid I don't have the skills to do so. You are an inspiration ☺
Great job!!!!
Thank you
Great video! Thanks for the upload!!👍🙂
