- The exterior is finally done! Excited to move inside and start working on many of the finishing details in future videos. Thanks to everyone for the continued likes, comments, and positive support!
Looks fantastic! Love this build series, thank you!
Very interested in your build. Bought blueprints for a 12x16 cabin. Hope to start building in the spring. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely great job. I also want to commend you on your concern for your neighbors with the noise issue. I have a neighbor that works on lawnmowers and he has no concern what so ever. When my wife and I want to sit on our swing it seems like he fires up a lawnmower just to run us inside.
Black trim looks good with the green, starting to look like a cabin now, good job.
Cabin looks great bud
Nice job so far!
Closed in and weather tight,( other than the roof trim) sigh of relief I'm sure. Place is looking great. One step closer to finish. Like a turtle, slow and steady wins the race. Stay safe and God bless.
I love your use of a story poll to make all those screws on the siding nice and straight. I know you only have a few electrical outlets to do but I was watching some other videos about what type of screwdriver to use for electrical outlets. I never seen this type before but the ECX screwdriver fits it perfectly. This video by (Everyday Home Repairs) was really informative for me. Search TH-cam for: (Milwaukee ECX Screwdriver Review | Must Have Electrical Tool) I know I'm going to get one when I have any work to do myself. The green, black, and white look so good on your place. Enjoying the build.
I love the green siding. It looks great. No painting needed. Great wiring ideas. I'm really interested in this part of the build. Wouldn't it be nice to have rocks around the base of the cabin so they can hide the foundation timbers
looks great and looking forward for the next video
we have a 12x16 insulated with R15, and it's more than enough for such a small building. I suspect our place is about the same elevation as yours (north central MN) and we've stayed in it before at -25F with no issues keeping warm at all with out little wood stove. Great build!
Wow. Ace work. And it looks gorgeous. Excellent job.
You got a lot accomplished this trip. Looking very good. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Looking very good. Lot of work by yourself.
i built an addition on our house a few years ago and when i installed the eve vents i got a DIY sprayfoam kit from lowes or home depot and used that for bird blocker, it was super easy and quick. it had 2 tanks and a hose and sprayer setup all included
That view is amazing!!! I just produced a quart!
Perfect size ‘get away’ cabin! Nice job on a great looking cabin. Subscribed. Thanks, from Hells Canyon, Frank.
Thanks for the sub!
Great job, enjoyed watching.🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
Living the dream. 🙂👍
Very nice job. Don’t forget to stub out for an out door receptacle and/or means for alternate power source.
Great point Jeff! Thanks for watching!
Really coming together nice! Love it!
Looks great 👍🤓🇫🇷
Thanks 👍
Looks awesome. You do really good work!
Thank you very much!
Well done 👍
Thank you 👍
Echoes Guy: Thanks for sharing this project. You’ve done such a “clean” job on all your rough and finish work. I have a suggestion: when you are doing detail work like the window metal trim it would be helpful to have you show some of your cutting and installation narrated live and close up instead of only the time lapse. Could you also share what blade you are using on your circular saw for the metal cuts? I’m going to be installing some myself so I hope to learn from you.
Here is the blade I used. Worked great. www.homedepot.com/p/DIABLO-Steel-Demon-7-1-4-in-x-48-Tooth-Cermet-II-Metals-and-Stainless-Steel-Circular-Saw-Blade-D0748CFR/307789803?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_007_PWR_TOOL_ACC-NA-Multi-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Power_Tool_Accessories&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_007_PWR_TOOL_ACC-NA-Multi-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Power_Tool_Accessories-71700000099112584--&gclid=CjwKCAjw-rOaBhA9EiwAUkLV4qgkS4tZ05OEE18TMiUjxfEN2FuMGS7qjLMkL4Lyle557sEKRh55OxoCoCgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@@echoesupnorth2367 Thank you!
excelente
You might want to consider a 2 gang box near the front door,just in case you add a porch light later.
Hi, this is really cool. And the timing is perfect. I am building a 12 x 16 off grid cabin on my mountain land. I have a question. Are your walls 8 feet tall or 10 feet tall? I’m thinking they’re 8 feet? Also, how high is your ridge beam from the top of the wall? You obviously know what you are doing. I am sort of winging it. Thank you for your answers!
Hello. My walls are framed at 9'. You can buy 104 5/8" studs to make the framing easy. I like the extra head room and extra 12" of height to make the space feel bigger. With the 12/12 pitch roof, the ridge is roughly at 15' (6' above the top plate of the walls). Good luck with your place!
@@echoesupnorth2367 Awesome. Thank you!
Great progress. But why didn't u put some straping for ventilation under the metal siding?
Looks great. What is going to be your power source?
I'll be putting in 3 solar panels incorporated into an awning over the front door. They will be tied into a 1000+W Portable power station that will power the cabin. Considering an EcoFlow or Anker unit.
Did you make your own plans for the cabin or did you purchase a set?
Great channel. Are you unable to drive your vehicle all the way to the cabin? Hence why you have the 4 wheeler?
My property is a fairly steep hill down to the lake. No road in yet, so the 4 wheeler is my ride. :-) Thanks for watching!
Why no colar ties on the rafters? In the vaulted area, without them, under snow load, it will put pressure on the walls pushing them out and will then cause the roof to sag there.
Hi Mike, I do plan on adding in few threaded rods to act as collar ties and as good functional decoration.
Hello 💕💞💓💖👍🙏🤝🤝🙏
ARE YOU NORTH OF THE BRIDGE OR SOUTH? IF YOU KNOW THEN YOU KNOW. I LOVE THE PINES.
Not too far south. Thanks for watching Paul!
Looks good but what's a cabin without a wood stove? 🤣
Stove to come. :-)
Are there plans I can download?
Hi Ben. I will work on posting my original build plans and materials list in the coming weeks. It will give you a good place to start. Good luck with your own build!
Thank for not showing what you had for breakfast…👍
