NEW HERE?
Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...
Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!
Hope you have a really great day and keepsm:)ling!

The headers are a U shape and have a hollow inside. Most of them you can access later and add batt insulation. But the header above the shower window is already covered. Can you still fill it now, with a bit of work? Or, if you can't, you could drill a hole and spray foam it ... but that would use a fair amount of spray foam.
Seth looks so grown up now I thought you hired a helping hand til I put on my glasses. That looks amazing.
The race is on til your dried in..
😂 he sure is!
True..its amazing....💕
That boy is sure growing tall! And he looks good in health. Just bleach the boards with mold, then they will be good to use.
Thanks. Puts my mind at ease a bit. I don’t like mold. 😞
Your thumbnail had me confused, having your floor painted gray made it look like concrete and I didn't remember you pouring a slab. lol.
A little tip when you are tilting up walls on a second floor. You can nail a 2x4 to the outside of your first floor that sticks up about 4 feet and lines up with a set of window studs on your second floor. Then when you tilt up your wall it has a stopper of sorts to help keep it from tilting to far and falling off the edge.
You guys are doing great. :)
Great tip. Thanks.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Kinda late but better late than never I guess. lol :)
That is what Rob is doing with his mobile tiny home rebuild. He is also framing his walls in squares. He is framing each wall in sections so he can put them up himself. Same as Marty's neighbor and church member Health did with his garage shop he framed in. Rob's you tube channel is little house off grid.
wow great job you guy's Seth is helping alot now great job for him !!!!!
I saw him doing very well
Great decision to add the second story door to connect to the main house. Now you will have access to the second floor bathroom in the new building.
Wow, I can't believe how much you guys have achieved in such a short space of time. You've come a long way since your "tent city"!
Agreed! 😂
Shouldn't there be a stud in that gap between the two bedrooms? (Between the four window openings) When you put up the interior wall, what will you be attaching it to at that point? Btw, love the views!
Hello my friends, how are you? I congratulate you as a very beautiful, wonderful and creative family for your wonderful and beautiful work. I wish you a happy life.🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️👍👍🌹🌷🌻🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
Thank you.
well you are putting a dividing wall between the two bedrooms but the window will not be centre to the room . why ? if you moved the centre between the two windows in each room and put that in the centre of the room. then, the window would be in the centre of each room
but its you plan and may be you like that i don't know Andy from England living and teaching in China but i do enjoy watching your progress please keep up the goo work that you do and thanks again Andy
For aesthetics from the outside we decided to place the windows here. 😃
@@juliejohnson9531 atheticly it is more important from the inside
The wildlife really are not particular and your neighbors are silent (trees).
Oops! Better change it now. A pain now is worth it in the end.
I think you need a nailer on that front wall to support the wall you will build for the bedroom wall. Will also help with hanging drywall, if this is the medium you are going to use.
Great job. Pretty clean. Learning from mistakes and teaching it back 🙏🙏🙏
Nice house Mr Martin, greetings from Bali Indonesia 😁
You've done a great job!
Carpenter tips, put tee's and corners in while the wall is on the floor. Top plate them on the floor as well. Faster and less up and down the ladder.
Also put insulation in your box headers before you install them.
All in all, I'm impressed with you guys.
Looking good good guys keep it up
Hey! I think you guys are kinda building it faster compared to the first house, I think. Anyway keep it up, your videos are very soothing.
😊
Your wife sounds like Wild wonderful offgrid. You are part of the Malitia or Demolition Ranch keep it up and you'll be close to having your clothing at Bunker Branding
Looking good in the Johnson neighborhood.
Wow looking good there. Going fast for sure and can't wait to see trusses and roofing on getting closer. This is definitely a total family affair. God's blessings to you all.
😃
The two middle windows are too close to the partition wall. If you are going to put curtains on them, you need space for the rods. The outside edge of your curtain should go 4” past the window to prevent light leak. They should also be centered on the inside wall for the aesthetics of the room. I know you like the looks from the outside, but it is going to make the rooms look odd from the inside. Maybe 1 larger window in each room, centered on the inside wall. I have a degree in interior design. I had a builder put a window on each side of the fireplace & they were right up against the fireplace. It presented quite the challenge. I am amazed the amount of work y’all have gotten done. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would have recommended rigid foam insulation sandwiched in between the 2 by headers but it's too late now. Still a great job guys.
Love watching you guys beautiful family wonderful son you have 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
You keep mentioning the stumps in the garden so I thought I would share something I have done in the past. Living in the city, building fires is somewhat frowned upon in Southern California, so for each stump I grabbed two large bags of charcoal, dug around the base of the stump to be able to nest half a bag of charcoal and light it. Over two days I would add more charcoal as needed and it would completely consume the stump and the roots as well. Of course none of my stumps were even close to the size of some of yours, but more charcoal would work wonders. You could probably also just build a fire over it (no diesel in the garden! LOL!) as that would probably work just as well. The nice thing is it would be removing the stumps whhile you are doing other things!
Hi, not sure if u have noticed, the black spot under your nail (index finger left hand). It could be a blood clot, but better get it checked. My father had the same thing and fortunately it was just a clot. Anyway, great job and love the build.
Have your lumber prices gone up recently? Could have been a hit to budget but I think you've made the right choice going with 2x6 walls.
Did you know most building code requires Headers over an opening supposed to to have solid wood above the header wood and Below the header wood. I notice above your 2x8’s there was not solid lumber under the cripple stud
Marty, you diidnt know that? Now, you know that. God bless you and your Family.
Semangat Pak Martin
Have you considered using water resistant (retardant) studs around the wet areas, i.e., bathrooms and kitchen. Thanks.
When I build there's a triple block going into the front wall between the Windows for the inner wall to connect to and drywall to grab the corners. Also I double plate the top. Thanks
Very good. 🙏🙏🙏
Very proud to see Seth has grown up and helping much ..😀
Very sad if remembering when he was 10th in Jogja , I watched all your Indo vlogs again and again til now😊 ... God bless you and fam , Pak Martin Johnson 🙏
😃
Awesome achievement and stay safe, God bless
just my thought - on the wall with four windows - wouldn't it be better to put the two windows for each better together and not be so close to the wall dividing the bedrooms...?
Never divorce your woman; or you'll never get another wall picked up and put in place.
May I ask what kind of camera you are using? Great looking shots!
I noticed you and your wife are both left handed; she does a great job cutting and the added mussel.
you should sign and date (or throw in a news article or can of pepsi) the inside of the walls so in 50 years during a remodel they would be wonder who marty is lol
I do not understand why would you build a new project. You have finish the inside and outside of your home.
I would believe that should of been
Priority.. But I have to say the new project is looking good.
Thanks! Well, a couple reasons. One, it’s kinda difficult to completely finish the house while living in it. 😃 And two, it fits the weather around here. Build outside in the warmer weather and work on indoor projects in the cold/winter season. I hope that helps explain a bit.
The best...
Gretting from BIMA_INDONESIA...
Please be aware of the Air Quality the smoke pollution will creep up on you all. Hope your well away from the Fires with trees all round it could be dodgy. Be safe from John in rainy Devon in England 🏴
Thanks!
You didn't put a stud in the corners for drywall
You stuck to off the chain job bro,, keep it classy
really your wife is very strong and brave . i salute her .
Love your videos but they’re to short. Just sayin.
Looking good, Mr., looking good, keep going! Nice work. =)
Your. Build is looking great. You might be a little to far on the build for this suggestion. Your headers have a void in them you should put insulation in there. You could still do it with spray foam by drilling a few holes at the top of the header, and spraying the foam inside the void
Thanks. We will look into it.
Great job. Coming into shape. Keep smiling. 👍
So great guys !!!! Is it just as the viewer.. or do you guys feel like you're going crazy fast this time around too ?? I REALLY love those small windows as your front view when coming in the driveway.
Thanks! I think we’re gonna love them too!
Keep smiling. Great advice 👍
Civil Enginerring...
You should consider the final available glass on these smaller windows. Adding the jamb,frame,shimming space, and the window sash itself, you actually have a tiny available view. Nows the time to change it.
Thanks.
I won't say it....... but. I can't figure out your reasoning to put those bedroom windows jammed into the corner of the proposed room.? I think it will be funky looking, but man o man, alot of work to correct it.
I like how it looks from the driveway. But if we want to change it we can.
Hey guys, another thought on the off centered windows. If your not committed on the windows it would make better sense to put one nice size window instead of two In each room.. You could in-fill the interior framing and need only change and inlarge the other. The larger size would provide much better views,better insulation, probably a little less $.
Thanks for the ideas.
I always look forward to seeing your progress. Your whole family is amazing. Great work!!!
😊
extra 2x4 in wall is good thing
Don't u-shape the headers, stack them and this will leave you a gap to fill with insulation. Wood is a terrible insulator break the gap. Matt risinger has alot of videos specific to this topic.
Do you think it is worth redoing it? Or is there another solution?
Wow you guys have made a lot of of progress and do a good job,but not being negative but was wandering wouldn't,t it be simpler just to get a dependable well drilled by a professional experienced well driller who knows all the codes and how to drill and clean the well sediment out properly,just saying that would save you guys a lot of running around getting water from the fairgrounds and give you more time to work on the house I enjoy your videos
Yep it sure would be. We have been saving up for it. Unfortunately, we haven’t found that money tree on our property. We will keep looking though.
Great video thanks again
Awesome job! You three rock...
Front two middle windows seems to be too close to the dividing walls :)
How far from the corner do they need to be?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving In my personal opinion, it would be better if there was a 15 - 20 inch space between divider wall and inner window Or middle of the room equidistance from dividing and outer wall.
I love your vlog and all the best from India….
You are a great example to the rest of the world especially here in america.
you have chosen to do a wonderful thing for your family that will last a lifetime. From one man to another I would like to thank you. I have a lot of experience in the construction and development field if you need any advice don't hesitate to ask
Wow. Thanks!
The more you do the more dough I hear.
Marty, I have a hunch of were you got the idea for your garage from. It will be nice when you are through with the upper deck above the breezeway underneath connecting the two together.
Where?
I'm new to the channel, have you explained who the apartment is for?
For us so we can finish the inside of the cabin. Then for guests or maybe the kids.
Seth is getting bigger😄
Spray foam between your headers before you put your insulation in
Good idea.
God bless you and your family Martin Johnson!🤗😇. 💯 Love brother and sister in Christ, from Doris Johnstone Prince Albert Saskatchewan Canada, I just love watching your videos every time you post them!
BTW, Seth, you are learning fast and doing a great job! I watch on the TV so until I pull out my laptop I can't comment. I saved up a bunch of atta-boys and here they all are! GREAT JOB!
Great work again family, God bless you all and god bless Amy Coney Barrett today. May god bless Donald Trump. MAGA2020.
Hey guys, just want to say. What yall are doing is awesome. Love the layout. Do you have blue prints? Would help on understanding to overall project. Honestly it's just awesome.
Some body ask, whether the frames are plumbed, does that person who ask that question that Martin should show the plumbing like in Smokey Mountain where he plumb every hollow block he install?
What about bits of wood between the studs going horizontally for strength we call them noggins here lol
Good idea.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Don't know about your area, but I think those are required by code in much of the country as a firebreak in the walls.
LOL, I had noticed that back when you where "Framing Our First Wall" at 12:20, but I decided not to say anything since you don't typically take constructive criticism very well.
What makes you think that? We love it.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Past replies on comments.
Looks like you would have cut them off on the ground....Just saying it would have made them lighter.
Great work man
Everything looks awesome and guy's the reason that wall felt so heavy is because you changed the way you were lifting because of the 12 inch little knee wall just a little bit changes everything also do you not put solid headers in and why I'm a General Contractor on east coast and I've never seen that the 36ish years I've been doing this again looks amazing thumbs up my friends
Every video you guys post I learn something new. Amazing job 👍👍
Thanks. You doing the same ok down there?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving yeah brother we are doing okay down here.
You really are a wonderful failure who works so well together, your son seems to give everything for the family. 👍
the way to father is often failure
I mean "a wonderful family"
Great job..
Great job 👍
so great❤👍
You have done an outstanding rigging and up all those pumps and motors for you existing water,FYI when my well was drilled I had a lot of fine sand that wouldn't pump out the well man had some kind of powder that he put in the well casing it had gel properties and gelled to all the fine sand and silt then he easily pumped it all out ,not sure where you get it good luck God bless you and your familiy, it,s so refreshing to see all you guys working together to for one main purpose.
What, are making another entire living quarters? Why? You can't possibly have that many friends/family that you have to build essentially an apartment.
Because we want to.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving LOL!!!
Really nice
great job
You mentioned custom cutting your studs. If each stud is custom fit then will there not be higher and lower points in the wall heigth? Same with the window openings.
Looking good guys, especially the Demolitia t-shirt! I want to second, or maybe third, the suggestion about filling the header spaces with insulation as soon as you safely can.
Looks good.
Looking great! What's your plans for the Solar array and the Garage, another 400 Watts?
2 Men cant do it but add a Woman and as the Spice girls said "GIRL POWER"!!
I enjoy watching your videos, Great team work.
.. who's the boys who wear red kaos ?... is he Seth?....
Yep.
Thank goodness for Seth and I can’t believe how much he has grown since you started your house. The garage is looking awesome. Love you guys!! 🙂
A garden window for the kitchen window would be cool to have. Hope you don't have to wait too long for Trusses.
what do you intend insulating the ceiling of the garage with because you will have bedroom above this space and will need to be insulated form the cold underneath ?
Is Julie still going out to get water in the tank ? What is that water for ?
It is for Household use.
I suggest you to make a video for Pak Martin channel, a masterpiece video, at least 1-2 times a year, agree sir?
Mantab
Seth is a man now 👍 I've been watching your videos since Seth was a little boy.
