Είμαι από τήν Ελλάδα,μου άρεσε ο τρόπος πού έχτισες την καμπίνα. Τά ξύλα πού χρησιμοποίεισες ήταν πολλά καί γιά την Ελλάδα ακριβά. Δούλεψες μόνος σου ακούραστα καί άξια. Ο Θεός νά σε έχει καλά μαζί με την οικογένειά σου.
I have watched you from the beginning and every time was so Intrigued just how you went about your beautiful and peaceful homestead. It’s truly amazing and for a woman Perspective you really have good taste. I love how clean you are as well. Always looking forward when you give us another video. Thank you for sharing and taking your time out to share your journey. Love from 🇺🇸
The sheet steel on the roof is EXACTLY as it should be for a cabin. Shouldnt look shiny and new, it ahold have some surface rust and make the cabin look like it's been there awhile. It's a lil small for me. I mean I'm a sasquatch, but youve made it work for you and thats what counts. And brother you need an EG4 solar minisplit to cool that place down. My parents have a place near Pickwick dam and there's no way I'd make it in later July or any of August without AC. You'll throw rocks at that Amazon fan.... Keep up the great content. We love it.
Your channel is like therapy. I watch every video from start to finish. Can't say that about any other TH-cam channel. Looking forward to this next project!
Greetings ‼️Hey « ALONE » .. you’ve imagined & created this AMAZING off grid cabin / you sure can be very proud of your accomplishments. Absolutely « FANTASTIC » job. ❤ from Québec
EXCELLENT!!!, CANT WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT CABIN BUILD, WE LIVE IN INDIANA AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE BUILT JUST LIKE THIS. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE TOTALLY OFF-GRID SOMEDAY. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG ON THIS JOURNEY 😊
What a great video. From opening with the sound of the stream until the closing with the sound of the stream. Mission accomplished. The perfect, beautiful and creatively build hideaway that blends into the forest like it has always been there. Just looking at it evokes a peaceful feeling. Cannot wait to tag along for the future build. Your videos really do have a little something for everyone's taste. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
I remember watching you build this cabin originally and it really looks great. I myself am still working on a 16x26 log cabin (3 1/2 years now ) and want to wish you luck in your future project. It’s a lot of work to do mostly alone but incredibly rewarding when completed! Enjoy.
Congratulations on your accomplishment. It must feel SO good to be making this video. I'm happy for you. Loved learning from this cabin. My fav part is the river rock wall behind your stove. ...what a view that is to sit in front of! Well done and thanks for sharing. ..it was also nice to hear your voice. It's also nice to watch videos that are peacefully quiet while so informative. Great job!
I've been watching your cabin build for quite some time this has to be one of the most stunning cabin builds I've ever seen on TH-cam I look forward to your videos great content keep it coming
I've followed from the start.... I've said it before but I'm saying it again. This is one of the most impressive cabins I have ever scene. Great job! Look forward to seeing what comes next.
Beautiful! God bless you and your better half! Your cabin is relaxing! My husband built our home as well and also have never built a house ! God bless! 🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻❤️
Your place looks great! I've enjoyed watching you build everything and I look forward to seeing you begin your log cabin. Thanks so much for capturing all of this hard work for our enjoyment and learning experience. May our God continue to bless your efforts.
We’re building our cabin now. Love your videos and we have learned alot.so Thank you . Ours is 20x30. Me & my Bf are building it. Some heavy boards. Couldn’t imagine doing it alone.
You build my dream cabin. What an amazing job you did👍👍 I have been watching since you first started building this cabin. Keep up the amazing work you do and I look forward to watching you build your next cabin. Cheers from Ontario Canada
Beautiful in its simplicity and elegant in design. I’d love to spend a few days there myself. Very excited for the future home and to follow that adventure. Really amazing thought and execution went into this labour of love. Kudos to you 🇨🇦🥰👋
You were building your cabin the same time I was doing a total renovation on my 1942 bungalow with help from my 77 yr dad & son. We'd watch videos when we took breaks. Dad & I found the 2x8 method very interesting. Both of us prefer the look of milled square logs & thought how much easier the 2x8 would be for us. The question we had was where did u get get lumber & was it kiln dried? We spent hours going through bins at Lowes & Hone Deppt trying to find wood that wasn't warped & twist. $10 for a 2x4 stud and you couldn't find a straight one. Trying to find 1" board without twist was a nightmare. I used 1x6 for my trim, $25. Due to pandemic shortages we had to hook the trailer up and spend a day hitting up every lumber store within 2 hours of the house.
Love the channel. Found you not too long ago & was hooked from the 1st video I saw. You were still building. This is the 1st I've seen of it completed & I must say I am in love with it! This is my dream. A simple cabin on a forested mountainside. Absolutely beautiful!!! However, I got a bit confused with the size of the cabin. At one point you mentioned it was 12x16. Then when talking about the fan in your bedroom, you said from where the couch is from the fan was about 24 ft. Now I am confused on the actual size of the cabin. But I love the simplicity & functionality of everything. It's not cluttered and even as small as it may be, seems spacious. So much charm. However, I would have had to add a closet to house my clothes & household cleaning things like mop & broom, etc. I could so se myself living this way. You've done a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing with us all!❤
I love your cabin, you did an awesome job. I love the planning ahead and attention to the details. My dream is to build a cabin and live off-grid up in the Canadian mountains, just have to watch out for those grizzlies and brown bears. I do have a question do you see any bears on your cabin site?
Love your music selections and your commentary, just not at the same time. Sometimes have to replay a couple lines to understand what you said. Still love the channel and am anticipating the new build. Thanks for sharing.
For the roof and the rain catchment system. What chemicals did you use on the sheet metal? Does that come into play for drinking or does the filer system catch all of that? I'm in a similar scenario and was curious. Thank you.
I've watched you do this from the floor up, and a fantastic job it is. I am wondering if you've kept a running total on the expense so far? And how much it has cost you minus the land cost.
Finally I'm found this kind of Cabin you build 😊❤💘 Gorgeous and Peaceful place that's why I'm so inlove with your cabin,should I live there #mydreamwishlist 🎯 #inlovetinyhouse❤ Absolutely enjoy watching your Tiny Cabin perfect 💘💞💖
Just finished watching this episode; loved it. Was just the exterior 2x8 Pressure treated, or all 3, or none? Also… does the log jam have a smell when used on the inside of the cabin. Thanks again!!! RC
Hello, I have been a very enthusiastic viewer of your house since construction began. I live in Austria and would like to ask you, how do you keep your water supply ice-free in winter? Kind regards Franz from Austria😃
Been following since you started that cabin. Absolutely amazing and I love it, brother. I would move there to live out the rest of my days there. I have a question for you, though, if you don’t mind?! When I see this cabin, I imagine what I’d do to be prepared for certain situations. My question is: What kind of plans do you have to protect your cabin against wildfires?? Do you have fire breaks in the forest or what? Thank you in advance for your time and your response. 😊
We get a ton of rain in Tn, so I haven't really thought about it. It's always pretty damp and humid. I'm hoping the burning of the logs helps protect against fire.
@@TheOffGridExperience unfortunately, you know how weird the weather’s been lately. Dry in spots where it’s normally not and vice versa. Just something to think about. As a person who prepares, I try to suggest alternatives for preparedness. 😉
Hi. I'm looking around for inspiration for how to build my own cabin and really like the "brick" style of walls you have built with. How does your cabin handle heatloss without insulation? I would think the temperature will fluctuate a lot depending on how much firewood you are burning.
Where is the link to a video for your electrical? I've been looking through the library you've got and can't seem to find anything that shows how to install the battery/generator.
Im in Maine, where we get some pretty harsh winters. I would LOVE to use this method, but I worry about moisture/condensation on the interior of the roof in the real cold months. Any thoughts?
Hi. Maybe someone already asked but what did you use as caulking/sealant between the boards inside & out? And looks like you did use liquid nails on each “tongue” as you set the courses of 8x8 walls? Great vid!
Thank you for the video. I’ve been watching for a couple years. I am also building by log cabin in the upper peninsula Michigan. How does it heat in the winter time? Can you keep it warm in there?
Appreciate all the info but have a specific question. Does the cabin stay pretty cool during the hot days in the summer or does it warm up with the sun pretty bad? Considering building one in Arkansas but I am concerned about cooling it down. Any info would be appreciated!
Great. Build video, But unfortunately 50+ years ago my dad help a neighbor rebuild his shed which used the same way of sandwiching wood together. And 40 yes ago me & friend built a 12X25 ft shed with scaffold boards which are 9x2 in by 13ft
Link to products used in this video are down in the video description. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Bravo! You finished all of the small projects in this build. It makes all the difference in the final project. Nice work!
You can collect rain water from your roof using gutter all through out and a down spout that goes directly to your water containers with faucet

Nobody needs AC. It’s for sure a comfort item.
I never get tired of seeing this cabin and admiring all of your hard work!
Man buddy I've been binge watching these videos. Thank you for making them. I can see me doing this one day.
Thanks for watching 👍

As the cabin ages it blends into the landscape. Now it looks like it's been there for years. Looks awesome!
My husband was from Tennessee and some of their old Homestead look like the cabin you built
This one is the cream on top! I've enjoyed watching all of the videos on this build. I'm looking forward to the next log cabin! Thanks for the tour!

Can’t wait to see the new log cabin mate!
Thanks. Me either.
AWESOME!
the handmade "logs" are brilliant..
Thanks 👍
I have fantasized about building a home..and this method definitely makes it concievable
Good video thanks I would like to see a video on how you cut and connect the wall corners together.
This video shows the better way to do corners. I wish I did it this way on the main cabin shell.

I really like those shutters... those would be real handy up here in Alaska where the sun doesn't set from May through August.

The main shell of the cabin is 12x16. The bedroom and bathroom were added later which added the extra sq. footage.
Thanks for the comment 👍
that is an awesome cabin! thanks for sharing.
What a great job. Loved this series!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great cabin build.
You have built a beautiful, cozy house that blends harmoniously into nature.😊

I love it, been following you along on this project and am looking forward to your next project.
More to come!
Awesome cabin 👌
Thanks 👍
I have enjoyed watching the building process. Nice job.
Thanks 👍
Un super travail de titan j'adore la construction de cette cabane idem pour vos vidéos
Thank you 👍
Linda cabana. Parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Longtime subscriber. Cabin looks great and very well done explanations/walkthrough video!!
Thanks for following along. It's about to get very interesting 👍
How much did this cabin cost?. I have watched all your videos on this cabin build! I'm very impressed!
About 15-16k. Thanks for watching 👍
Do you live there year round?
I love the wall block design!
It's just a weekend/hunt cabin right now 👍
Great inspiration and detail explanations. Was all the lumber untreated store bought or is there also saw milled rough cut?
All store bought. Next cabin will be completely different with hardly anything store bought.
For the roof and the rain catchment system. What chemicals did you use on the sheet metal? Does that come into play for drinking or does the filer system catch all of that? I'm in a similar scenario and was curious. Thank you.
Good question. I did not use any chemicals or rust the bedroom roof. That's where the rainwater comes from.
I've watched you do this from the floor up, and a fantastic job it is.
I am wondering if you've kept a running total on the expense so far? And how much it has cost you minus the land cost.
This video is pretty accurate:

Enjoy your videos and looking forward to the new cabin build.. what is your opinion of the John Deere gator?
I have nothing but good things to say about it. The amount of material I hauled up and down hills with no issues is pretty impressive.
Finally I'm found this kind of Cabin you build 😊❤💘
Gorgeous and Peaceful place that's why I'm so inlove with your cabin,should I live there
#mydreamwishlist 🎯

Absolutely enjoy watching your
Tiny Cabin perfect 💘💞💖
Loved it :) It was hard to hear your voice over the music though.
Just finished watching this episode; loved it.
Was just the exterior 2x8 Pressure treated, or all 3, or none?
Also… does the log jam have a smell when used on the inside of the cabin.
Thanks again!!!
RC
All untreated wood. I haven't noticed any smell to the log jam.
Hello, I have been a very enthusiastic viewer of your house since construction began. I live in Austria and would like to ask you, how do you keep your water supply ice-free in winter?
Kind regards Franz from Austria😃
I'll let you know. I haven't had the rainwater set up until a couple months ago.

It looks like you might have built the rocking chair you have on the porch. Do you have a video on that or a link to plans for it that you can share?
Actually bought it from a local woodworker. They are nice chairs. Maybe someday I'll try and build one.
How do you charge your Bluetti's, and do you have a short on JD Gator E?
You've done a nice job with the interior. What is the typical interior temperature on a hot Summer day with and without the fan? Thanks.
It's about 10-15⁰ cooler inside with no fan on.
@@TheOffGridExperience Thanks. That's pretty good.
Are you using solar panels or a gasoline generator to charge your Bluetti batteries?
Hi. I'm looking around for inspiration for how to build my own cabin and really like the "brick" style of walls you have built with. How does your cabin handle heatloss without insulation? I would think the temperature will fluctuate a lot depending on how much firewood you are burning.
It has an r value of about 7 so it needs constant heat to stay warm depending on how cold it is outside.
I'm so jealous!
Did you pin between the lumber logs to keep walls plumb or simply rely upon the tongue and groove engagement?
I just checked it with a level as I built it up.
Where is the link to a video for your electrical? I've been looking through the library you've got and can't seem to find anything that shows how to install the battery/generator.
I don't have electricity. Just a generator which I power my lights and other things with.
Excellent cabin build.
A question I have how do you charge your solor system?
Solar panels and a Honda gas generator and sometimes I charge at my house.
Also, why’d you choose the Bluetti over the Jackery? Just curious. 😊
They are both good. Just like Bluetti a bit more.
Did you use wood glue or construction adhesive to put the boards together?
Construction adhesive.
Im in Maine, where we get some pretty harsh winters. I would LOVE to use this method, but I worry about moisture/condensation on the interior of the roof in the real cold months. Any thoughts?
No issues with condensation. I have vents on each gable end above ridge beam that allows air to circulate.
Hi. Maybe someone already asked but what did you use as caulking/sealant between the boards inside & out? And looks like you did use liquid nails on each “tongue” as you set the courses of 8x8 walls? Great vid!
Its called Log Jam. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@TheOffGridExperience Log Jam Chinking by Sashco? There it is! Thanks a lot. 😉
Thank you for the video. I’ve been watching for a couple years. I am also building by log cabin in the upper peninsula Michigan. How does it heat in the winter time? Can you keep it warm in there?
Stays plenty warm with stove going.
@@TheOffGridExperience thank you
Would like to know the cost for the cabin, I have some land in eastern kentucky and one love one of these on the back of my property.
How I Built This Off Grid "Log" Cabin Alone and How Much it Cost
th-cam.com/video/Xxxw0mC60A4/w-d-xo.html
Appreciate all the info but have a specific question. Does the cabin stay pretty cool during the hot days in the summer or does it warm up with the sun pretty bad? Considering building one in Arkansas but I am concerned about cooling it down. Any info would be appreciated!
My cabin has full tree cover in summer so it really doesn't get direct sunlight. It's about 10-15⁰ cooler than outside temp generally.
Great. Build video, But unfortunately 50+ years ago my dad help a neighbor rebuild his shed which used the same way of sandwiching wood together. And 40 yes ago me & friend built a 12X25 ft shed with scaffold boards which are 9x2 in by 13ft
Too bad youtube wasn't around or you guys would be the first 👍
Do you have any additional insulation other than the laminated 2 x 8 and if so how do they hold up in the winter and summer for heat retention
No other insulation in the walls. Just the three 2x8s. Once it heats up, the walls hold the heat pretty good.
Would this kind of cabin withstand -40c Siberian winters?
Depends on the size of your wood stove. With a large wood stove it should be fine.
