Keep going, you are a true hero for the younger generation, small houses will be the future for those who cannot afford a regular overpriced home
Not just the younger generation, this is my dream. I’d love everyone to have this as their dream ❤❤❤
I first got hooked on tiny houses after watching Eamon and becs van tiny home build
I absolutely love this cabin 😍. No one needs a big, overpriced house where you don't use more than half of it.
I don’t think I've ever seen you so excited!
This was so much fun! I am absolutely in me element when I'm getting to work on new projects.
Beautiful location, what an exciting build! The closeness to the gully terrifies me especially with how natural disasters and climate are getting wilder and less predictable, but I realize the builders know their locality best.
Agreed. So close to the edge! They must have thought it out though.
It won't move provided the trees are not removed and it's not naturally unstable.
First thought in my head too! No amount of vegetation will stop a hilllside going if it’s wet enough.
@@drayner2517 Guaranteed his block had some horrific record breaking rain in the last few months and years, worst seen in decades at least, and nothing happened, so chances are his particular piece of hill is stable.
Have no fear. We made sure we did our homework on this spot and you'll see why we placed the cabin there in the next video. :)
When I can't sleep I design log cabins in my mind...from modern designs to very traditional....one room with a bed, kitchen with table and chairs. And of course a loft bedroom for the boy!
The vegetation in that gully looks positively prehistoric. I love it! Looking forward to part 2.
Bryce, I have been waiting to see you build one of our cabin kits for years now. All of the things you did along the way and how you explained the reasons for your choices based on the particular nature of the cabin itself were absolutely Perfect!
Thank you so much for doing this video as I will share it far and wide to all my customers and potential customers. I can't wait to see the finished project.
When people ask me what I do and I say " I sell cabin kits" they say "You mean Tiny Houses?" I say yes they can be a Tiny House. But there is more to it than that. These kits start at 50 sqft and go up to over 1000 sqft. Yes, sure, you can live in one, but you can also have just as much fun building a small 125 sqft cabin on your property as a guest cottage or studio or outdoor entertainment space without having to sell everything to downsize and change your whole lifestyle. We are the Palmako Dealer in the U.S., but I don't want to overstep the purpose of comments section.
I have personally built several of these cabins from 80 sqft up to 500 sqft and everyone is an absolute blast!
We appreciate how well you presented this product with the attention to detail and showed how you can even add on to them to make them even better.
Great Job!

I would need your city and zip to calculate shipping.
This is so awesome! When I was younger, every time we went to a garden center or hardware/home improvement store, I would go out to look at the ‘sheds’ or ‘garden houses’ they had and imagined what it would be like as a tiny house 😊 You’re now pretty much realizing that ‘fantasy’ I always had 😃 Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
It's 7am here in Darwin Australia, getting picked up at 7.30 yet this runs for 29mins !!
Eek can't stop watching
A solution to the housing crisis. A quality home built in such a sort time... let's hope this type of housing takes off. Great job
I have been following your channel for many years and one thing I have noticed is the pride I see on the faces of those who have put a lot of effort into the design and build process, the people who did everything they were capable of. I'm glad to see you involved with the build. Can't wait to see more. BTW, that leather hat looks good on you.
I agree with you & it’s one of the many reasons I love watching this channel.
Thank you Bryce! I live in Canada and have been thinking about building a small house for a long time. Will you come to film a few episodes in North America one day?)))
We sure will! We filmed a lot in North America before covid and we plan to travel back to do more episodes there agin later this year. Canada is one of our favourite countries to visit!
@@livingbig Hi, great news ! And if that's possible in Ontario or colder places than BC :) Looking forward to the video next week
@@livingbig Awesome! I'd be really interested to see some tiny houses in Quebec, Ontario or even Alberta, (as @loui1064 said) where climate varies significantly and where it therefore seems harder to live in one
Back in the 70s, when I was a preteen on Vancouver Island, Canada, my family bought a "Panabode" double garage kit. Incredibly similar building process to what you have done here, but on a slab. We put patio windows in where the garage doors would have been, to get a view of the ocean and access to an added deck, and added a few interior walls to divide the space (bathroom, tiny bunkroom, open kitchen/living area). Oh, and a back door.
I have fond memories of watching my dad and two granddads hammering all the precut "logs" together for the walls, then adding the roof (in the pouring rain).
I know you're skilled. Even so, the closeness of the cabin to the gully edge makes me nervous as I'm from a place known for landslides.
Exactly what I was thinking, like is no one concerned with erosion 🫣
Don't worry. We did our homework on the spot. Also, you'll have to wait and see what happens after the kitset is built. Next week, you'll see we build a lot more, including a lot more supports. Fear not. 😉
Hey. I have been following your channel and videos for years and years. And now halfway through this video I hear the name of my country, I was surprised that this house comes from my country to yours. Thank you for mentioning where the house is from ☺️👌
Your friend in Estonia🇪🇪
I felt your pain when you said it would be a long night of continued staining. Can't wait to see Rasa and you enjoy the view of your own private gully. It does remind me of the beauty of Avatar!
Been watching your vids since i was 17, until now that im 22, ive always wanted to build my own tiny house, youve been a great inspiration bryce, ❤
It always amazes me that your windows dont have bug screens in an area where you have so many insects. Im a typical urban Canadian that cant imagine leaving a window open without it being screened. Lol.
Love this video😊
I just love that you are so excited about this.
Not the typical TV-exaggerated-fake-excitement, but one that comes truly from the heart.
Often when I didn't sleep well (like today) and I'm a bit down I watch your videos as a kind of mood lifter 😄
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm sorry that you've been feeling a bit down and have trouble sleeping, but I'm glad that we can help to keep you company and lift your spirits a little. ❤
I do the same. I take comfort from the wonderful Bryce & the kind, imaginative, creative, inspirational people we get to meet. I also love seeing the different parts of the world. 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
This reminded me of the kit houses from Sears, Roebuck and Company and others way back in the early 1900s. When I first learned of these I was amazed, nearly everything you needed would arrive in a boxcar, and yes there was a numbering system! Pretty sure many are still standing today. I think it's great this has carried over into the tiny house movement, makes perfect sense!
That all being said, I doubt any of those kits went together in so short a time or so beautifully. Also, I love the off grid aspect too. Really looking forward to the uodates!
@@maganalia Wow, I didn't know there were whole neighborhoods. I know some are still standing here in Michigan.
Thumbs up for the Tradies, a few beers and a barbie to finish off to reward all the hard work. 👋🙏.
I have wanted to turn one of the Palmako kit sets into a tiny house for some time. They have always appealed to me to be a quick, simple, low cost entry point into tiny house living. This is going to be an interesting series to follow on multiple fronts. The most important is breaking out of the mould of a structure on wheels with width limitations. It would also appear to be a project which stretch’s a basic build concept to connecting to the natural environment around it.
Love this and the property is beautiful. Cannot wait to its completion. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for sharing your journey on building this log cabin. Will you be building anything else on the property, garden? 🥰🫶🏽❤️
Oh we have some big plans!!! We plan on planting some really nice gardens including a syntropic food forest. All still to come. :)
Waiting to see completed staining next week. All the best!!
I can't wait...I can't wait to see next episode!!!!!! Hurry up, next week. What fun to watch.
Happy for you mate. You are still living the dream and I'm pleased that you've been able to keep going through it all. I can't recall when I started to follow your adventures, but you have been through a lot and grown with each step. Never stop going.
I remember when he had a yurt with decking, maybe somewhere up in Waitakere … and now he is back in the bush with a cabin. Full circle ⭕️
Quality kits like this are really a fantastic way for people to build their own small homes. Here in Canada we grow great timber and could do something similar - we just need to make sure we build proper foundations for our deep frost, and kits are well-designed for our colder winters, as well as many places where it's hot and humid in summer. Showing your project will really help light a fire for this kind of project everywhere, I believe. You do things so well. My experience is that when you first apply stain it absorbs at different rates and it looks quite mottled, but it'll settle in and by your next coat it'll start looking more even. I look forward to seeing the next episode!
You can buy some of those cabin kits in northeastern Canada. Unfortunately, they aren't sold in the USA.
Imagine ............. seeing your first Puriri moth that hide out in that tree. Such a beautiful site.
As much as I love tiny houses, construction, engineering and DIY are my passions. I hope we get to see more videos like this one.
This kitset looks like an American version of the New Zealand Lockwood building system and appearance. Having lived in Ngongotahaha near Rotorua, when I was younger; I used to cycle past Lockwood. I am unsure if Lockwood still exists. Their claim to fame was the earthquake proof nature of the construction. Thank you for taking me down memory lane. You are doing a great job on the build. Sarah from Tasmania.
Just an idea for future Bryce, next time u need to stain something, get a pump up spray bottle with a wand, like is used to spray garden weeds, and use that as a kind of paint sprayer. Doesnt work for paint ss its too thick, but for bulk staining timber fences and the like, its pretty sweet
I am so excited for y'all! It's looking really great! It's so good that you're planning to be off grid. It's the smartest way to go! I can't wait until the next video! Happy staining! 😊 Whoo hoo!
This is a great-looking kit. I once lived in an old-fashioned log cabin (built by two people with axes in the forest), and it was extremely dusty and full of spiders. The logs soaked up all available humidity so our skin was always dried out. The logs retained the heat from the wood stove so well that, more often than not, we had to throw the doors open to cool off (no opening windows). And I missed having flat walls to hang things on. Your kit looks like such a better option! I echo the comments below about coming to Canada. Would be great to see more tiny homes and less discouraging regulation here in Ontario.
Eekkk!! This is SOooooo exciting to watch! My absolute lifelong dream too, building a fantastic little timber kit cabin just like this! Watching it grow from the ground up so quickly was super special and listening to the pure joy and excitement in your commentary filled my heart with the same joy and excitement… can’t wait for the next episode! 😉🥰🩷🩷🩷🏠
A dream manifested right before our eyes!! Always wanted a "log cabin",(family mountain roots grow strong in my veins:}) and love the ease and short time the pros built this beautiful tiny home. Great job and can't wait to see the finished project!!!
I am totally with you on the opinion about paying tens of thousands to connect to service provider who might or might not serve you 24/7. I am really much liking the off-grid idea.
Can't wait until next week! So exciting.
So excited for you Bryce and Rasa! Thanks for sharing your journey
Oh my goodness. Did I miss an episode where you told us you would be building a cabin? This is amazing Bryce. What a beautiful piece of land. And the cabin looks amazing. I'm so excited for you. Can't wait till next weeks episode. Have a great weekend. Well I hope there is a next episode next week. Lol.
Nooooo. I wanted to see the whole thing now! Looking forward to next week. Wish you would do it sooner!
Bryce, it is good to see a project like this on your channel. well done and can't wait to see part 2.
The sheer size of those ferns in the gully! "...smarter than the wood." 😅 Awesome to watch.👍😎🇨🇦👌🌿
So happy for you Bryce!! I could feel your happiness and excitement! Can't wait for the next one
How exciting! Although our home is not tiny, it was so exciting to watch it being constructed. There’s something really magical about knowing what is underneath everything and how it was put together. Your site is so beautiful and adding a deck to the back is going to be beautiful. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
This already looks awesome! Hurry on next week!
This cabin is absolutely awesome! Thank you for sharing Bryce awesome!🤗💜🌻💕
You've picked the perfect spot to put that cabin, can't wait to see it all done with deck and solar power... It was great to watch the cabin go up so fast... Cheers for sharing....
Absolutely beautiful space and the tiny cabin is amazing. Love the addition of the extra window and door. That went up so quickly and easily. This should be housing for the future and help with housing issues.
Thanks Bryce and Raza for taking us along. ❤
That is guit the awesome little cabin. It is looking good I know you will love it when it is finished. Please be careful and enjoy your build. God bless you all 🫶🐼
I enjoyed the video, what a great project! The base cabin looks nice, can't wait to see the customization!
It's turned out so well! We are very excited to share the finished result.
That looks awesome. We have a 12 acre piece of land in Upstate NY that has a small home that can no longer be salvaged, and I'll include this in our options. We'll just need to add a ton of insulation, because while it's in the mid-30s now, it can go down to -20 in the winter. Can't wait for next week!
How exciting!!! That's going to be such a serene place. I'm so happy for you all.
It seems like the hardest thing of this build would be to make sure everything is level as it goes up and making sure you make adjustments as things become slightly off.
Agree - some serious skills were essential for both the concrete pylons and levelling of the foundation
There are steps you can take to prep the wood for stain if you have the time. Softwoods don't accept stain as smoothly and easily as hardwoods. It looks great! Looking forward to the finished results.
I love the ease of building the cabin using this lego/lincoln logs method. Fun and practical and relatively easy for DIYers to construct.
What if there could be a "northern Canada" weather version in which there would be two rows for each wall (interior and exterior) with space in between each row to insert rigid insulation with vapor barriers, or the other option could be pre-made parts that have the appropriate "filler" (insulation, vapor barrier, etc.) sandwiched inside the "blocks" or "logs" and then assemble the cabin/tiny house.
This reminds me of the Lincoln Log sets we used to play with as kids. I would build a cabin, dismantle it at some point and build a different version. Once, I got fancy and built a two-story cabin. 😄 I wish I had a set of those Lincoln Logs now.
I am loving this and can't wait to see the next video. I used to build houses with Habitat for Humanity here in the States and sometimes I miss it. But not right now. It's 105°F in the shade on my front deck and feels like hell's furnace out there. No thanks! 🥵
I do enjoy watching some channels of homes and cabins being built. Trent and Allie (Utah), Josh and Erin ( Wild Wonderful Off-grid in West Virginia) and Shawn James (My Self Reliance in Canada) are my favorites. Three completely different builds and processes but all very enjoyable to watch and to learn different things from each one.
This is my childhood dream, a tiny cabin for myself❤ keep doing what you and Rasa are doing, you two are awesome😍 Godbless from the Philippines🙏🇵🇭
This video brought back memories. Thirty years ago my husband and I built a three bedroom log house from triple tongue- and-groove 10” round logs. Because we are in Canada, we put foam insulation strips between each log (inside the grooves) to draft proof for winter.
Aww, it looks beautiful, Bryce! Every project looks a little rough at this stage. I have total faith it will shine by the time you reach lock up. Can't wait to see the next video!
It's going to be AMAZING Bryce .... It already is... WoW.... What an awesome location too. Keep up the great work. 🎉🎉🎉
What a great project - AND you all looked like you were having fun as well - can’t wait for part 2.
Great work Bryce!
Tiny homes don’t just have to be built on trailers ❤
Watching this with great interest. I live on a modest income, but in an area where land is still reasonably priced and would dearly love to build my own home. Being originally from California, I was surprised to see you building your cabin so close to the edge of that ravine or decline. I appreciate that you installed cement pilings to anchor the structure, but that won't necessarily protect it if that edge erodes, especially if you get a lot of rain. I've watched far too much coverage of homes sliding down hills in So. CA. But maybe there's something there I'm unaware of? Anyway, looking forward to the finish. Very intrigued, thanks for sharing.
How exciting! I love timber structures as well. It's going to be beautiful!
Can’t wait till next week. Looking amazing so far. Perfect bush setting. Would also make a great granny house.
Anticipating the next building stage☺️. Like your positive mindset to deal with the unexpected hiccup!
What a great project - can’t wait for the next episode! And such an amazing piece of land to put it on, magical place you have there!
Funny looking log cabin. No logs means it isn't a log cabin.
So wait this is going to be your new digs? RAD!!!
Super nice And exciting1 I look forwaed to the next video.
Absolutely loved this video makes a refreshing change from your normal videos of visiting people's tiny homes. Your cabin will be amazing look forward to seeing it's progress.
Looking forward to seeing the Cabin completed!!!
So cool. This gave me ideas to transform the old barn we hope to buy here south ofSilicon Valley. The power is disconnected, but we can use temporary solar power immediately.
Oh my gosh!!! This is most definitely THE MOST EXCITING episode of this channel's history!! 😃 And Bryce will allow me to say that since I am one of his very 1st subs! 😂 I'm super pumped for you & Rasa!!! 🥰
Loving this project! It’s amazing how fast the cabin went up. Have you explored the gully yourself? It looks like there might still be a dinosaur or two in there! 😊
I have a subscriber of yours since the beginning. There is nothing better to see the excitement and the smile on your face (kid in a candy shop) . Thumbs up to you and Rasa as a young couple. Motivate me as an over 50yrs Aussie. All the best .
I so enjoyed watching this. I love cabins. Can wait to see the end.😊
This is amazing to see! 😮. I am looking forward to watching the transformation from beginning to end ❤
How exciting!!! This is gonna be fun!!!
It sure is! We had a blast doing this project. Can't wait to share the finished result with you!
This is such a great addition to your suite of videos, Bryce! Love seeing you do your own project and getting excited. Keen to watch how it all develops and how you might individualise the kitset.
Looks like a doable project for a young group of skilled workers. You’ve chosen your site weli-what an incredible gully view you will have, dear Bryce and Rasa. Looking forward to seeing the next episode. We’ll be waiting…patiently, of course, 😊 Cheers from your multitude of sometimes rabid fans up here in Cabin Country…er…CANADA ❤🇨🇦 where we know all about log cabins, eh. 😅
I love that you’re doing this. I’ve been wanting a tiny house for years but lately I’ve been thinking more along the lines of building a little cabin so I appreciate this video. Thank you!
Amazing piece of property. I wish you the very best; can't wait for the next episode!
I loved this video. It gave such a personal insight to the audience on your own life. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. Please bring more videos like this too. It was such a pleasure seeing more of YOU in this one! 😃
This is so cool! To see the whole process from zero is absolutely fascinating!
Awesome project, mate, and of course really nice editing of the clip. The excitement on your face is clearly visible and it is absolutely normal, for most of us who dream of accomplishing something similar, your enthusiasm comes as completely natural. Thank you guys for inspiring us as well and much respect for the builders. Keep smashing it, you're doing great!
Fantastic watching this Cabin go up so quickly. Will you have a kitchen and bathroom???? Looking forward to the next Video. Great doing this Project with your Dad!!!😊😊😊💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really LOVE watching your complete process in building your dream cabin! Very cool! 😎
wow the tiny house is looking great! It's so sweet that your Dad helped you with the staining!
I wasn’t sure if I liked the departure from your usual content, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Very cool!!! I can’t wait until next week. 😀
Best thing I've watched all day! I can't wait for the next episode!
Gotta be smarter than the wood. 😂😂 Love it!!
You know, this actually reminds me a lot more of Lincoln Logs. It's basically the same thing, just real. Very cool.
Amazing! I can hardly wait for the next episode to air!
It's so satisfying to watch this kind of content: From nothing to something. 💛💛
I'm so excited to see this project! I have looked at those cabins often from Trade Tested and thought that they would make excellent tiny homes!
This show isso cool i just luv the cabin ideal so beautiful. Thamnks thanks america
Wow! This is something new! I love it ❤️ Lego was my favourite toy in the childhood! 😁
Hooray for your family! It does indeed look like a future dream cabin. Thank you for sharing this. I can't wait until the next edition!
This was such a fun project! We had an absolute blast building this and we can hardly wait to show you the next episode where we take this cabin to the next level! We hope you enjoyed this video as much as we did making it. A huge thanks to Palmako and Trade Tested for helping to make this project possible. Let us know what you think in the comments below! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
Hi Bryce,i love your videos so much and just cant stop watching them,i realy think about living in a tiny house but i was wondering,can you make video about safety and precautions when living in a tiny house? I live in a condo so i feel very safe,but tiny house just looks so scary because anyone can break into your house so easly! Not just people but also animals,and maybe other things that i cant think of right now,thank you for your amazing work!!!!❤❤❤
So far so beautiful! Can’t wait to see the final results! I hope 🤞🏼 you and Rasa have a beautiful cabin!
I'm so excited for you! This is such wonderful spot to build and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. We can see the happiness in your face 😊. And I'm thinking it smells terrific! I LOVE timber smell! ❤
Can't wait to see the end result ❤
Very interested in the actual cabin and the overall costings ❤
I super stoked for you and Rasa what an amazing cabin that will bring years of cozy times. I look forward to following along throughout this project.
