      Amen! I agree completely. Most TH-camrs think it necessary to just pointlessly "jabber" thru their entire video, then put some horrible and way too loud music over it all, I don't / won't watch those, I turn them off. - This video was great, very well done, I really enjoyed it! 🙂👍

    Alright, it's time to admit that "watching Whipples build cabins" is one of my favorite hobbies. Super excited to have another channel to watch along with Brooke's and Dave's! Similar great vibes and inspirations here; thank you for sharing your building process and insights. I'm planning to build my first tiny cabin this summer, and these videos are gonna get me through it. Please update later with details on how that aluminum sheeting holds up under the floor insulation. Cheers to willing and working a dream into reality!

    Great job my friend! Tho I'm a musician by trade, I always loved working with wood. In my early 50's I built a studio and a shop mostly by myself and then when I retired to the Mts of NC I built a smaller version by my house at age 74. Tho smaller, it still took a year because I had slowed down a bit lol! But I love building and the reflection time it affords. I think a lot of us who are creative are loners to some extent. All of my buildings were designed as I built them. Love your design by the way and the use of the live edge boards is beautiful. Also love the hinged ladder. New sub.

    I lived off grid for a couple years in a 26ft c class motor home. I really never had any interest in building anything until i started watching your videos. I enjoy watching everything that you and your Brother put out there. You guys make it look so simple and you both are pleasing to watch, very well built,instructions are clear and easy to follow.keep up the good work guys.
    God Bless you and Family.

    Dad built custom cabinets, countertops, trim, and doors for 52 years. Some of my earliest memories were hanging out with him in the cabinet shop.
    In 2017 we turned a 40’ shipping container into a guest cabin. Outside looks unchanged besides the windows and door. Inside is completely rustic look.
    He passed last year, and I find myself wanting to build another cabin. I don’t need one, and rarely use the one we built. It’s nice to watch your builds until I find a logical reason to build a new one!

    I just wish I had the expertise, land and money to build something like this. I just like to watch these videos and imagine how awesome it would be to have something like this.
    The loft and swivel ladder is an amazing design...Much respect brother!

    You and your brother sound a lot alike, I enjoyed his cabin build from start to finish. Keep up the good work, I really like the idea of using a ledger instead of running a bunch of joist hangers. Seems faster and with a cabin that small im sure its plenty strong with 4 16d nails where each 6x6 post is located.
