right on tom! hope you make something great! if you need a hand or have questions at all, hmu! more than glad to help! @szetoszeto on IG as well! all the best and stay safe!
Last week I purchased a bunch of logs to build my off grid cabin. Little 12x12 on 3 acres I bought. My father and I are currently knotching them. Hopefully in the next month we can start building. Can't wait. Your vids, along with The Outsiders, and TA Outdoors were my inspiration. Thanks for the great vids!
The Sauna sounds like a great idea. You can also add an square addition to the rear of the A-frame. With a couple of bedrooms and storage accessible from the outside.
Great news. Great video! Thanks. Add on to the back of your A Frame with an additional A frame. Make that one your bedroom and add another stove in there if you need it. All the best!
that's not a bad idea! my neighbor actually did that and they're place is quite lovely. I personally want to keep it as a little getaway and a glamping spot for Airbnb for now I think. i want a bigger spot for the everyday, instead of living in my condo atm. That's my focus atm.
You are awesome and there are many people out there that wish they could build the A-Frame. Your video motivates folks to take their dream off the bucket list and make it happen. You explain things so well and show essential examples of key steps. Thanks for doing what u do!
Glad to see that people are still able to do things like this. This project came out great, it really is inspiring. Unfortunately, regulations and draconian building codes have made stand-alone cabins like this very difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish in the state where I live. 'Tiny homes' are functionally illegal here. I'd have to move to a neighboring state if I wanted to try something like this.
Im looking at building an aframe in our garden as a writers retreat for my wife. Going to be hard to keep it secret for the build days but you have really inspired me.
I asked if you built these earlier, you said you didn't. Love your work. My wife is from Finland and her mom and dad had a sauna in the basement. I took one sauna in it, I couldn't stand it, I couldn't breath. I suppose if I would have brought my scuba set up with me I could have stood it, but not my cup of tea. If you have never taken one you should try one before you invest.
Nice video i watched the time lapse and it looked great. We build a round house in the Philippines and we’re thinking of adding small A Frame cabin in the property. Thanks to the video.
I just found your videos last night and loved watching the process of building your A-Frame. I live near New York City and I just purchased 3 acres of land about 4 hours north, what I love about it is that it's a wooded area that gives you some nice peace and quiet. I am going back and forth on if I should build a log home or an A-Frame and I am now leaning towards an A-Frame after checking out your videos and others as well. You're right on the size, I want to build a little bigger so there is a good sized loft area and where I can have more guests stay and also maybe make it into a vacation rental property so others can enjoy it when I am not there. Good luck on your next project
This was sooo rad!! Thank you for sharing your dream and your journey. I'm really inspired to get on this path to build my own cabin. Well done Andrew!
thanks soo much sam! it was certainly a fun one! it's a bit up in the air, but i'm pumped to try and make something rad happen!

Hello my friend. You shared a video 2 months later. I watched you curiously. This content is very beautiful and interesting. Thank you for sharing. I wish you healthy and happy days. Great greetings. Warm hug.
thanks a ton! ya i'm slow on this side haha, but really appreciate you having checked this out! it's a great getaway spot and going to keep it that way. can't wait to try and embark on my next project!
JuliaKay ONeill greaaat idea! we have those at some of our coast guard stations! i am buying an airstream too and might have to put that in the airstream! haha
thanks a ton! hopefully this wasn't too much rambling! hahaha stoked to get at it. kind of thinking about picking up this crazy place: www.remax-quebec.com/en/house-for-sale-outaouais/28-ch-du-p-tit-canada-la-peche-14844876.rmx?fbclid=IwAR2tyPybbiRjHJdQ92Of3y8TYIoRKTt1sW-8ZbMJQaxZv7FdwJG5D7fXb6w
Way to go! This little cabin can always become a guest cabin for your bigger cabin down the road! Can you tell me where I can see the bigger cabin you showed -- it looks lovely and I'd like to see it.
I made this toilet. The only expensive part was the urine diverter . Think I paid $50 off Ebay. Next time I will just use a oil drain funnel I think. Anyway, works great. Oh, I also have found Moth Balls deter mice. I have built 2 small cabins over the years.
Hi Andrew, my name is Mike and I just retired. I looked at relaxed shacks with Deed and I like it but it is just to small. There is no insulation, it just wouldn't work for me. I'm allowed up to 200 sq. feet in my state without a permit and yours is much more fitting. I'm a total novice at building, I think I can do it!!! I can do it! So my question to you are the plans available??
Been watching this from the start and it has given me so many awesome ideas! I'm currently trying to save for a piece of land that I can build something small like this or maybe frame up an old trailer bed and make it into something. It's just much more expensive down here in CA. Thanks for the great content. Hope to see more soon!
oh for sure! i hear you on that. Seems like it's a good idea to build it on a trailer bed, to avoid permitting. Luckily it's a lot warmer down there too, so you can hopefully avoid going as crazy as we did with the insulation. Use rockwool if you can afford it! Good luck with everything and hmu if you need anything!
@@AndrewSzeto Thanks a lot man! I was going to insulate this one cause I'm probably gonna put it somewhere a bit more chilly than the south bay. I've never used Rockwool before, but I'll try it for this project. Thanks for the tip.
@@WolfGamingK it's fire-proof and just better insulation. costs twice as much as the pink fiberglass, but i wish I didn't cheap out on that. happy building (eventually)!
An acre is plenty of room to build a second one, bigger and to your liking now that you have build this one. That way you can have that one and another one to have more friends up to visit :) Just a suggestion!
JB Weld will fix that crack in the stove top. I doubt you have the top cranking out 600 degrees in that little place. You can fill the crack and sand it down after it cures. I've fixed cracked stoves and engine blocks with the stuff. Give it a try.
I used the same Suntuf on a storage shed I built and although the specialty screws don't leak, water actually wicks upward and I get a few drops inside at the peak if there's lots of rain. I used their special peak piece. However my pitch is very shallow (to match another roof nearby).
What a great cabin!! Congratulations. What is the carpentry skill level required to build one? Where I can get blue prints or some kind of guidance. Great work. Thank you
Andrew, thanks for the videos! Do you have any recommendations on sourcing land? Specifically maximum cabin footprint size you are allowed to build without permits? Best!
Marc Miller realtor.ca, putting feelers out there and tuning into the areas you want to be in. my friend was actually a neighbor a few doors down and he knew of the property for sale and alerted me (all because i put the vibes out there). usually a 10x10 is construed as a shed, so it's generally under permit size
Hello Inspirational young man, part of me thinks that you could work your way through numerous geometric shapes... Polygons, Hexagons you could perhaps integrate to the Little chalet you have.. I can only be sure of one thing though.. you will have a resolute group of followers, anxious for your content. Never lose your sense of wonder, it is incredibly cool seeing you flourish. Be well.
Hi Love your work, I was just wondering if you had any plans or a list of the materials you used. As I really want to make one for myself. Again love your work :)
Great lessons learned! Could you build the "square" as the new cabin and then use the A frame as the storage spot? Or just build a second bigger A frame, then the first could be used for when guests come to visit? I had often looked into property on the Quebec side as it's so much cheaper than the Ontario side, but the current restrictions give me yet another reason not to. I guess I'll just keep saving and waiting!
ahh i would, but honestly it's just too far to make it a permanent residence. I think as an airbnb and weekend getaway for myself is perfect. Will find a new spot and build out my shop to teach classes and shoot vids in haha. half thinking about this spot: www.remax-quebec.com/en/house-for-sale-outaouais/28-ch-du-p-tit-canada-la-peche-14844876.rmx?fbclid=IwAR2tyPybbiRjHJdQ92Of3y8TYIoRKTt1sW-8ZbMJQaxZv7FdwJG5D7fXb6w
@@AndrewSzeto that is a cool looking place! Lots of spots to make a nice shop! It looks like there is a gravel pit or something behind it, i wonder if it's loud.
@@AndrewSzeto well they probably don't blast at night, so at least you could sleep well 🤣 you would probably get used to it after a while. Plus you could get away to your a frame when you need a break 🙌
The Grant Alexander thinking of having it as more of an everyday, and running classes out of there 🤔 stoked on it and need to research more about quarries haha
Hey! Thanks for posting this! I've watched your time lapse video a bunch over the last little bit! My fiance and I are interested in building a small A- frame out at our family cabin but have no idea where to start lol. What were your first steps?
oooh the base/foundation of the place. There's actually like 14 episodes with details on each part! feel free to check those out and hmu with any questions you might have.
Very cool stuff! I found a 5 acre tax sale auction 40 minutes from downtown Ottawa. Bid starts at 18,000 but postponed for now due to Covid-19. Me and my wife love to forage for mushrooms. Want to find some land for this and other projects. If you are leading any woodworking workshops this summer I would love to join in. I have been skating for 20+ years and love your paddles etc. Do you have any coloured ply incorporated in the A-frame? Keep it up.
This is a really nice video I'm trying to buy a land like that a s I would like to khow how much do you spend on money building this tiny house??? Tnk you
i totally want too! only thing is that i'd need like gator skins or skatelite for it to survive our crazy winters. soo expensive haha. will see what this year brings!
Andrew Szeto Its kinda a dream of mine to one day get some land and build a little cabin on it and make the area into a mini skate paradise! Even just like a mini ramp would be amazing
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unknown in waking hours. Henry david thoreau
Dude, I'm in complete shock right now! I live in the Black Sea coast of Russia, at the foot of the mountains of the Caucasus. And in this, not the most prosperous country, land prices in this area are MUCH higher than in Canada. For 1/40 acre, you need to give 200,000 Russian rubles (~ 4000 CAD). Maybe I understood something is wrong? Could the word "acre" mean "are"? (as a conventional unit)
oooh yeah! trim is complete and i actually used foam floor mats (wood grained ones). it adds a bit of insulation and is nice when I'm hunched over feeding the fire!
It would be nice if there was some kind of mechanism to expend the house and add another level like a “drawer” where the house could expand its “wings” like a butterfly (roof &walls) ... I am not sure how to explain it
Andrew Szeto nice! Do you imagine being able to transform the design and space by installing commercial massive hinges at the peak of the roof and open the roof like wings and extend the floor (that you can pull out like drawers from underneath the permanent floor and level it with “legs” ) -just being able to transform this beautiful tiny house seasonally would be beautiful 😀 ..you can have more people coming over and then when you are by yourself put it back to what it’s original design! -/ if only things were this easy, right? Love your beautiful cabin!

i totally want too! only thing is that i'd need like gator skins or skatelite for it to survive our crazy winters. soo expensive haha. will see what this year brings!
Andrew Szeto Its kinda a dream of mine to one day get some land and build a little cabin on it and make the area into a mini skate paradise! Even just like a mini ramp would be amazing
@@T_rob for sure! you checking out the skate ranch?! th-cam.com/users/sebastienpetit it's what my buddy seb is doing!
Andrew Szeto wow that man is doing exactly what i was thinking! 👌👌 definitely gonna binge watch all his vids
T. ROB right on! seb is the best! tell him i sent you there ✌🏼
My partner and I have been looking for land for about a year now. We live in Utah and looking for some tips on how to find/buy land?
we have realtor.ca and centris for things in quebec. I am sure there are some sort of listing collated website you can hopefully leverage!

Mountain Pass 💕💕💕 love this
10×10...what is the height?..
Your home is awesome
thanks a ton! it's 13' tall!
Awesome!
Thanks a ton Bob!
What size it this?
just a small 10 x 10. works as a great getaway!
What floorplan/build plan did you use for this? Would you be willing to share it?
there is no floor plan really. just a rendering on turtleflat.com we worked off of. it's my pal richard who knows how to build everything haha
Ah good to know, thanks for letting me know
Well you can expand it or just build a new one.
true true! in time! haha
@@AndrewSzeto :)yes you are ready for it, now I have the impression you know what you want.
Dude, I'm in complete shock right now! I live in the Black Sea coast of Russia, at the foot of the mountains of the Caucasus. And in this, not the most prosperous country, land prices in this area are MUCH higher than in Canada. For 1/40 acre, you need to give 200,000 Russian rubles (~ 4000 CAD). Maybe I understood something is wrong? Could the word "acre" mean "are"? (as a conventional unit)
4046.86 square meters is 1 acre.
would like to come from 416 to get a workshop :)
I gotta build more before i give workshops!
If you're going to have a sauna, you need to pronounce it correctly: SOW-NA!
I'd like to see the cabin trimmed out, and nice flooring.
oooh yeah! trim is complete and i actually used foam floor mats (wood grained ones). it adds a bit of insulation and is nice when I'm hunched over feeding the fire!
WHERE did you get an acre for $6K?
5 Acres in very-rural Metchosin BC is $369K! (Cheapest anywhere within an hour of Victoria BC)
ya..... i know, i would have loved to have moved to BC, but things seem impossibly unattainable over there. only thing deterring me.
So what approximate area are you located? Just a nearby town or something I can Google :-)
It would be nice if there was some kind of mechanism to expend the house and add another level like a “drawer” where the house could expand its “wings” like a butterfly (roof &walls) ... I am not sure how to explain it
i think i migggght actually do that! build an extension or something
Andrew Szeto nice! Do you imagine being able to transform the design and space by installing commercial massive hinges at the peak of the roof and open the roof like wings and extend the floor (that you can pull out like drawers from underneath the permanent floor and level it with “legs” ) -just being able to transform this beautiful tiny house seasonally would be beautiful 😀 ..you can have more people coming over and then when you are by yourself put it back to what it’s original design! -/ if only things were this easy, right? Love your beautiful cabin!
Andrew Szeto you are an inspiration, I have been looking for a piece of land but I don’t know where would be a good town, or city to do that
Which part of Canada 1 acre for $5K ?...Like your cabin
Quebec! Western Quebec. I got lucky!
@@AndrewSzeto How far from the nearest city or town?
What is pinned to your shirt?
Like man!
thanks a lot!
❤️❤️❤️
Well sir if you want to go 16 by 20 or 20 by 20 can't you just add on???
What about size of this house?
it's just a tiny 10 x 10, but great for getaways!
