I'm FINISHING the Interior In the Off Grid Tiny Cabin | Bed, Kitchen, Rainwater Harvesting | EP 11

- Hello my friends🙂
I am building this small house so that I can stay on my off grid property where I'm building the main log cabin from big round logs. In this episode I finish the cabin interior which is only 4m² (43ft²). I managed to put a bed, a kitchen, an armchair, a stove, and a small bookcase in this space. I placed the armchair under the bed and there is room for one more armchair. It's surprising how much can fit into such a small space.
I power this off-grid cabin with a homemade 12v battery bank that I once made from a lithium-ion cell that I took out from a broken electric bike. Thanks to this battery pack, I can light up the cabin, power a small water pump that pushes water into the faucet, and I can charge the batteries from the camera I'm shooting with.
My main goal for this cabin is that I want it to be super cheap and super quick to build. I don't want to spend a lot of money and time on this cabin. I have a big main log cabin for that :D That's why I used fresh boards for the walls, which are much cheaper than dry boards. I also saved on parts such as the sink from a rotten rv camper, or the homemade 12v that I already mentioned, the faucet is also second-hand, it doesn't seal well and water drips into the sink, but only when there is pressure in. As I don't have constant pressure in it, it's not a problem for me. I got the roof tiles and two large tanks for free, and I already own the cast iron stove. So I was able to build this cabin very very cheaply. Total spend is roughly 350 Euros (378 USD).

===============================
More about me:
When I was 20 years old, I dropped out of college and said to myself that I will do what I really want and what I see meaning in. So I decided to build my dream log cabin, all by myself, in the middle of an off-grid bush.
After I left school, I went to work for a while to earn money for trees and hand tools. I spent all the money I earned and my savings on it. Thank God, I already owned the land I have - I got it from my dear parents as a gift and I also bought another part of the land with my own money.
I chose a log cabin for my home because I like it. I build it with the vision of living a simple and peaceful life in it. Having time is more important to me than having money. Of course, nowadays a person cannot live without money, but I would like to live in such a way that my expenses are not so high and thus reduce the need for money. I want to have time not only for myself, but also for my future wife and children. That's why I will try to build the most self-sufficient life possible, in which my own housing, in my case a log cabin, will be the heart of this system.
I use hand tools because they are my favorite. There is beauty in simplicity.
Working with hand tools has several advantages: You are able to work off-grid, the entire set of tools you need can fit in one bag, there is better safety when you work alone, you don´t make too much noise when you´re working... so I enjoy it more and I believe you will too, while watching :)
Sometimes you will still see me use power tools for some things where I can't avoid it completely, such as drilling through metal roofing or welding, but otherwise I will always try to use primarily hand tools.
My dear father is a carpenter. He taught me how to work with wood from a young age, but I have no experience with building a log cabin, so I'm learning everything as I go, and I'm looking forward to what this experience will teach me.
Thank you all for your attention. Enjoy!

I just finished watching your video? And I'm a bit jealous that I don't have my own property in where I can build my own MAIN LOG cabin and a small cabin to boot! So to that I 👏 you and good luck on your future endeavors and the finishing of the MAIN LOG cabin. 👍
Nice work. Looks cozy. God bless.
Where are you?
Everything glows the golden pine color , so nice to watch . I wonder where you are on this planet ? ❤ oh now I see , it's Alaska , such a cute place !
The door has so many gaps in it. Won't heat escape and cold come in?
I don’t worry about this generation when I see the skills and dedication these young people have. Bravo young man. Much love and success to you. Looking forward to see you grow your channel
Thank you sir, I appreciate it.
I'm worried. There is probably only one percent like him. The rest take internet off them and they would go into hysterics. This is one very AMAZING young man. Hats off to him.❤
@@angelaberni8873I was about the say similar. Not even one percentage (1 for every 100 people) more like one in every 100,000 would even consider doing something like this.
Very few are awake like this guy. The majority are asleep at the wheel and fail to see what coming or already realize they are screwed.
It’s fantastic Mathias! All alone and this cabin is perfect. You are a little genius. From a Québécois near Montréal. Matthias, excuse me.
The guy very skillfully finished the furniture in the small cabin very wonderfully and beautifully.
I watched your videos before, but I read your backstory for the first time today. What a wonderful story. I love your hand tools. My father was a carpenter in the 1940s building things by hand and had many of the tools you use today. He died at age 91 in 2015 and left his old wooden chest of tools in the garage. I am inheriting those as my 2 brothers do care about these things. When I was young, I worked with my dad while he build furniture and stuff. When I bought our first house I built a closet and some other things, using his tools. I am close to retirement now and I hope to soon build something in the family land up in the mountains. I will not be able to do it by myself.
I enjoy your channel as I like to see a young person using the old carpenter hand tools of the early 20th century.
You are very skillful and it is a pleasure to watch you build. Keep it up.
I watch all of his videos too, damn fine craftsman. Where did you find his backstory?
I enjoy this type of stuff...my Gramps was a Construction worker and did a lot of creative stuff to his home.
MrManicola, Your story is very similar to mine. :) My grandfather also built houses in the 40s. one to live in and two to sell. All with hand tools! I look at the photos and am amazed and proud of what he accomplished. Especially that at the same time, he was fire chief, post master and the main postal carrier in his small town, doing the building in his spare time, though I dont know where he got any spare time. My father inherited his crafting skills and remodeled every home we lived in. I am carrying on the tradition by starting to build a tiny home for myself. I'm cheating a little with power drills though. :) I hope my project comes out as well as I see it in my head and that I do my grandfather proud. I hope you get your off grid project accomplished also.
Sweetest little cabin! Thank you for sharing.
Your place isn't insulted.
The concept of using roof rainwater troughs to make water collection tanks to store water is great. In mountainous areas, water collection tanks for water storage are very important. The small ventilation blinds installed above the sink are very interesting. Some of the detailed equipment you installed are very practical and interesting and deserve praise.
The design and construction of your indoor furnishings are very good, and you can also be called an interior decoration engineer.
Thank you :D
As a mom, I wish you would take that water tank to your parents' house where there is a water hose and send about a cup, maybe two of bleach or vinegar (2 cups definitely) mixed with water through the tank and hoses if you've not already done it. Then rinse it very well. The sink need a good dose of bleach water too.
Not telling you what to do. It's just a suggestion. I am impressed by your work. I just want you to be healthy and safe.
Well and aptly said!
Nothing tastes like fries cooked by yourself on a stovetop :)
Your house is very cosy and thoughtful, nice work, young man!
So true although fries at fish fry with friends is pretty close.
Der Boy hat ja goldene Hände!!!
You're such a good kid, yes i called you a kid, I'm 52.....i wish my kids were like this ❤
This cabin is really a Tardis. You've done an amazing job. I would be looking forward to the next cold rainy night just so I could enjoy it from this warm cozy place.
Very inspiring and creative...Excellent 🇲🇨😱🌼✋👍👍
Thanks!
What a joy to see so many positive qualities in a very young guy - and excellent carpentry skills, and competent design solutions for such a small space, and the ability to cook not only delicious but also beautiful food, and in addition, the ability to create a quality video. And also amazing modesty! Just bravo!!! I subscribe and will watch regularly! Matthias, good luck in all your future endeavors!!!
Thank you very much for the compliments sir. I appreciate it and I'm glad you'll keep watching!
Well done Matthias, well done. It's so encouraging to watch a young man like yourself learning how to build useful, functional things by hand; you seem to have your head squarely on your shoulders and know what you want and are doing. It's a sad day when one can go to college/university and not learn anything constructive and useful, except how to get drunk and stoned all the time. I know, I've got a couple of useless college degrees myself. Anyways, keep up the good work and thought I'd let you know that your are a really good role model for those of your generation.
HEY MATT,
WATCHING YOU BUILD A SMALL CABIN IS QUITE INSPIRING !!!
WHEN YOU FINISHED THE SMALL CABIN , I THOUGHT YOU ARE A CRAFTSMAN, WHEN YOU SHOWED THE LARGE CABIN WITH THE LOGS AS YOUR FOUNDATION AND AS A CABIN ITSELF, I WAS IN AWE !!!
YOU ARE ALSO AN ARTISAN !!!
THE WAY YOU’RE WORKING ON IT SEEMS SO VERY EASY FOR YOU !!!IT’S NOT FINISHED YET BUT , OH MY, WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING IS A BEAUTY !!!
I AM AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, THAT’S WHY I AM FASCINATED OF WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING !!!
TRULY AMAZING, MATT !!!
As I watched you build your little cabin I kept thinking that what if someone could put these together for homeless veterans? It was so well planned, so well constructed and would serve so much better than living in a tent or on the street. I can envision little villages of these cabins, filled with people grateful for a roof over their heads, and a cozy warm place to lay their heads. It would be a Godsend to them. Perhaps churches could even have their congregations do the labor for it. I wish so much that this can go viral and people smarter than me can make it happen. Well done, young man.
Your like a young version of myself reliance, quality build breh your main cabin will be far superior looking forward to that content
The little Cabin building and interior designing turned out very cosy. Now we need to build a shower and a toilet behind the cabin, between the water tanks with may be other salvages from the RV you have discovered. After that, if every year you build 3 of these cabins on your property, in 2 years we could start Air-BNB busines and rent out these cabins! :D
👍 yeah 💯 agree 👊🏻
I do not think Matt has got your joke! I would not do what you said. He wants peace and harmony in his realm. 😅
Matthias...congrats on making your small cabin home! Your build skills are mesmerizing! Now the journey to "work" each day is literally a hop, skip and maybe not even a jump! Also the simple meal looked delish! Cheers....dude!
You do your family proud man. every thing iv seen so far has been awesome . good work and Blessing's my friend.
Парнишка просто Ангел!
Благославляю и желаю ему и всем, кто этот фильм делал всех благ! МИРУ МИР, ДОБРЫЕ ЧЕЛОВЕКИ!
💯💝
It's incredible how you did the entire build by yourself without power tools and without help. :)
Such a well layed out little cabin. Great job. The vents one high one low was a great idea. Only thing I would do is fill the tiny gaps you can see when it's light outside.
@ 2:06 with all the daylight coming through those boards I think caulking or battens are a must before finishing
He said that he waits for these boards to dry, because thes are fresh wood
Yeah, he’s gonna have mice in bed with him with all the area around that door
I was going to make the very same suggestions along with comments but you guys are already on it.
Oh yeah baby 💪🔥🔥
Have enjoyed watching your journey building this cabin, but after doing all of this work by hand ,are you still going to fill in all of the places that you can see light coming through from the outside ?
Hello Mathias, I have really enjoyed watching this series, thank you so much for sharing. I love the work you did on this little house and I really found your videos to be inspiring but I have to admit I have cheated on my own little house creation and ordered a pre-built shed, however I will be using your interior ideas for finishing that I do plan to do myself. Good luck with house project, I am really looking forward to watching those videos.
@ 20:28 I think that hole needs some screen wire mesh to keep out bugs and vermin
Great job, this is so cozy and understood to be somewhere quick built while the log cabin is going up. So while I get it doesn't need to be perfect electrics and water don't mix. My ex and my father both master electricians had one saying, electrics is not a hobby, and they were right. So many home accidents resulting in deaths due to people not being safe with electricity. Even if it isn't high power at least run the line away from the water and the switch onto the wall. I think all us Mommas and Pappas out here watching admire such care and beautiful work, but wr want you to be safe. Oh and safety glasses, I almost lost my eye from a piece of wood that went in it while cutting wood. Learned my lesson now stop everything and put them on even for the "let me just do this real quick jobs." Lovely asthetics, opinion from an interior designer.
Congratulations 💐😊👍🏼
Thank you!
All very, very smart & practical. Sincere congrats, Matthias.
Your skill is surprising to me. You do a great job. Very sturdy.
What a lovely little cabin and so efficient too! Well done! Can't wait to see what your house will look like when it's ready.
Another great job Matthias!
Amazing talent. Love it.
ur simple cabin turned out really nice! u really made use of every square inch and after you're done with the log cabin, this can serve as a guest cabin! not too bad for less than $400!
Awesome tiny house, you have done a great job.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
well done young man. a very calming and instructive vidéo. cheers
Matthias...you are a TALENTED, GIFTED AND BLESSED YOUNG MAN!!!...
LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!!...
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO...
CARPE DIEM!!!
Thank you Matthew!
I just happened upon this video and have watched a few others. College won't teach you anything like the skills and life experience you are having right now. I wish you the best, I like your little cabin, and I look forward to your bigger log home. You're doing great!
So talented and at such a young age. Very impressed!
Very well done Matthias! Great to see it turn into such a great little home. That standard of work is going to see your log cabin become a wonderful home for you. I look forward to watching you achieve it.
Thank you very much and also thank you for following my journey. I really appreciate it.
Beautiful work!
Wow, I just discovered your channel and subscribed with a thumbs up. You are very enterprising at such a young age. It sounds like your parents have taught you well and are giving you a hand up. How lucky you are. I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I'm "75," and live on the Oregon coast, USA. Sending good thoughts your way.
Thank you. I'm glad you're watching. I appreciate it.
,Wat geweldig en praktisch heb je het ingericht. Super, daar kan je trots op zijn. Genieten 👍❤️
Great small house and a good looking meal.
Well done. He's a hard-working guy
I love your cabinets 🏠 such a cutes... LUCKY, this man knows how to do it on his own without no one helps...and lucky lady who's gonna be with him....
Lovely simple rustic little cabin.
The cabin has come up very cosy!
I’m a little concerned about the electrics right near the water on the sink surround!
An idea to cut the drafts down coming in through the door, use a heavy curtain. You’d be surprised just how much drought comes in when the wind is in the wrong direction! A great little home to allow you to continue on with the full log cabin, great video. ❤
Great work young man ! Florida, USA
No eletric tools. It’s amazing!
wow!!!very ❤cool ⭐️beautiful 💖 Amazing🌎🌹👸🏼💞💗💓
You've thought through all of the elements thoroughly in this tiny cabin. Really nice craftsmanship. Great job!
Thanks!
You're truly skilful 😍
Really enjoy watching your videos 😊
Жареная картошка лучшее творение 🎉🎉
Вентиляция!!! Молодец!
Канализацию можно было сделать лучше не в канистру, выкопал бы яму, затолкал лежа в эту яму 3 покрышки от автомобиля.
You did a great job utilizing such a small space.
I wish I have talent like your. Awesome cabin. Love it
Best fort ever. ❤
You did an excellent job and are to be congratulated for what you have accomplished.
I think you should install a metal/ reflective plate behind the stove to protect the wall behind the stove, and reflect heat..for safety.
Nice build.
FYI, if you add solar panels at some point, you can get free electricity inside. Just a thought.
Nice job, can’t wait to see the larger cabin.
Great job
A genuine pleasure to watch.
The white IBC tote will break down quickly in the sunlight. One could screw timber boards to protect it and pretty it up, or a coat of exterior UV resistant paint. Personally, I used colourbond corrugated roofing iron, tek screw to the frame.
Also, the plastic valve was not designed to open more than a few times and will break unexpectedly....there's a special-threaded adaptor that will convert it to regular NPT 2" thread, then attach a regular ball valve.
Beautiful! Only constructive criticism…shouldn’t the sink rest on the countertop, not below it?
It should. But mistakes are how we learn.
I agree, it's normally done that way. My sink is cut off so it's ugly so I put it from the bottom so you can't see the cut. This cabin is only a temporary outbuilding, and as long as the two rough boards that make up the "kitchen" have time to rot, I really don't mind :D
Well Matthias you have done it again😊! Great Little Cabin with all the comforts! At the rate your going. You just might build the next Taj Mahal😅😅😅!
I would be happy with tiny house.
I'd love a life like that, I live in Florida. He's so young but talented
Sometimes it’s doing things the most simplest way with nice square edges that makes things come out absolutely beautiful who wouldn’t want to sit inside this with a cuppa coffee
Matthias, you're one awesome dude... nice cute little cabin... but my goodness, you can only stand straight if you're in the middle... I have to edit my comment after seeing yours hahaha! Looking forward to seeing you build the bigger cabin... good job!
Milovaný Matýsku, skvělá práce. Opatruj si zdraví, objímá babička Evička ❤️
Děkuju milovaná babičko❤️
This guy's a genius! With all of the ideas hes used in this tiny cabin, I cant wait to see what he'll come up with for his big log cabin! Itll be amazing,i know!!!👍✨
Thank you. I'm also looking forward to the big log cabin. I have no plan for the interior and I make everything up as I go. So I'm curious :D
There is nothing bad about living small and simple for now, especially since you have bigger logs in mind. You did a 'great job' creating this tiny cabin for yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your projects. Good luck with everything you do.
I could definitely live in that. Peaceful, away from society less stress. Yep
You obviously know what you're doing and have seen it done or read about it, the cuts and the way you are putting it together shows that you do have knowledge of this craft.
Well done, Matthias! I enjoyed your use of a silent hand cranked drill and particularly loved the Treasure Chest of cast iron cookware!!! 🤩. This is the first and only video of yours I’ve seen, so I’m crossing my fingers you have tarpaper or a plastic sheet under the roof tiles…. Otherwise - the cabin is such a small footprint, I bet you could just cover it with a well secured tarp in a rainy or snowy day. Happy building! -V
its called skills.people can do it it just take the determination love your channel.
felicitaciones ,soy una persona muy mayor y admiro tu propuesta saludos desde CHILE
Thanks
The perfect little Woodman's cabin. You remind me of a a young Henry David Thoreau. I hope you are journaling about your experiences and thoughts while you build your dreams in the woods. It would make a great book! 💚
bonjour Mathias, elle a tout d'une grande votre cabin ! et merci pour la traduction en français..très beau travail, de belles finitions, très cosy..bon courage😁
You're welcome! Thank you :)
Fantastic,, beautiful,, peaceful...Thankyou very much.
Good job
And remember that's a teeny tiny spot so you gotta keep it clean and tidy.... Good luck! 😊
Super impressed! You are very blessed to have so much wisdom and work ethic at such a young age. Well done and much success on all your future ventures!
Excellent! I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
Excellent job use of your limited space well planed out. I am sure you will be cozy in there.
Beautiful work
I’d pay to stay there if it were an Airbnb 😊💜
👍 mais dommage pour le manque d’isolation .. hâte de voir les vidéos suivantes 🙏👋👋
Beautiful little cabin... congratulations.
I love this guy he is awesome 😍😍

Someone could lock you in the cabin. The cabin is so awesome!!!
Thanks! If you lock the lock before inserting the slider rod, no one can lock you :D
