great video. Put your episode number in the title. ;-)
This.... ^
Thanks so much! Oh man... I guess maybe I'll have to think about doing this. Lots of upvotes here haha
Nobody’s house is perfect, but yours is yours! Well done! Keep it up
So true. Thanks a lot!
Put holes on the bed's plywood so it wont get moldy. (Don't let the moisture get trapped) Trust me bro! Ty for video, love it!
Hey thanks so much for watching and thanks for the tip!
Been waiting very IMPATIENTLY for episode two... love to see it taking form and LOVE the master plan!
Also have been waiting very impatiently. I’m so invested in this series already
haha sorry for the delay. And thanks for tuning in! More to come soon!
Another remarkable video. Honest, genuine and entertaining. I really appreciated your honestly and vantage point on imperfections in the build. The "Kintsugi" of our lives and projects are what make the journey special and I am so happy to enjoy the ride with you. Thank you for sharing with us
Hey thanks so much! I super appreciate the kind words and support. These are the kinds of comments that keep me going on tough days!
Incredible! Another homer! I loved the deep metaphor at the end.
Hey Thanks so much!
This video just popped up as i am hooked to off grid diy projects. And i justfell in love with this guy and his video...what a contrast to some young youtubers who thrive simply on backing ...subscribed...way to go.
haha thanks so much for kind words and support! Happy you're here for the ride!
“You wanna lift the lumber, you gotta stay… limber.” These videos are great, man. 😄
hahah glad that you appreciated that!
You're pretty amazing in how much you accomplish in a days time. I think the structure is just fine, like you said, it's just to get you out of a tent. At least it will be solid and protection from storms. Love your sense of humor!
thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. Little by little it's coming together!
Awesome video! I'm looking forward to the next one. Also you gave us a ride last weekend, thanks again for that!
Thanks a lot! I'll have another one coming soon!
Hey I am excited to see how this build and channel grow! Great job so far, and like you say it's not a perfect world, but it's pretty alright too!
Hey thanks so much! Really glad you made it here! More videos to come!
Cannot wait for Mystery Stuff! This video was such a delightful ride; great edits, great story telling, and a sweet philosophical discussion at the end. Made my day!
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come soon
You’re quite the storyteller. I’m so invested into this channel. Stoked to see it grow 🙌
Thanks so much for the support amigo! Means a ton to have you here!
Hello. You are just a blast to watch. Great video and what an amazing personality you have. See you in the next video. Have a great day.
Hey thanks so much for the kind words and for the support! See you in the next video!
lmao dude I love your style of video editing.. this had me dead.. Also a nod to "Kyles cabin" with your reflective insulation on the floor.. I SEE YOU I be out here 😂Your flooring looks incredible to me and I think you're doing great.. it's imperfectly perfect just the way it is! Looking forward to the next video!!
Hey thanks so much! Really glad you know what I was talking about without needing to link haha. its coming along!
Nice . Was waiting for episode 2 ...
Love the plan you did
Good luck 👍
Hope you get all the subs and likes 👍 👌
We have a trailer and can't wait for this summer we are going camping down to the Colorado River. .
Hey thanks alot! Colorado River trip sounds fun!
Love the reflective commentary about imperfections of life and our houses. Truth and calm wisdom! looking great and what an adventure!
Thanks a lot. Really glad you liked it. Thanks for joining in on the journey!
Keep it going. In for it, although if you come across errors, man fix em while you can. If you make too many errors, they will make each other worse.
Thanks for tuning in! And yes... I definitely will try to fix more of this stuff as I go in the future
Smart people unload the stone into the wheelbarrow off the truck, easier going down than coming up!
Who cares really. Couple of minutes lost
@@TigiTweet Someone at the end of the day with a very sore back, or one that is no good for the next day. Can be a lot more than a couple of minutes lost
@@TigiTweet if you've ever had to haul around gravel or stone for a day, you'd care.
haha this is not an awful point to make. I actually had to do this in two different days though. I had to drop the rock and then go pick up the excavator after that. so it was a little complicated
The house that jack built!
haha thanks!
progress zach!! one day at a time brotha!! looking AWESOME!!! KEEP IT UP MAN!
still wanna come give you a hand LOL!! I know it's not easy solo dolo !!
Hey thanks a lot! Appreciate the kind words! I'm in Southern Utah, feel free to stop by! I love visitors that are willing to lend a hand!
Great one again. Love the philosophical monologue at the end
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
We need more videos. Really enjoying everything you have put out so far!
Hey thanks so much! More to come soon!
Frig man, the editing was awesome in this one and the no house is perfect bit at the end there hit hard. Loved that. Yer on fire bud keep er rollin!
Hey thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
“ keep on keeping on!”
Hey thanks a lot!

I like you your mind and attitude, greetings from germany. Keep the vids coming, you are on an exciting journey!
Thanks so much for tuning in from Germany! Appreciate the support, more to come soon
You're inspiring me to finally commit to developing a 7.5 acre lot at the end of a winding road in the middle of the mountains. It's as beautiful as it is brutal to work on but documenting my struggles along the way, as you have done yourself, gives me great motivation to begin. I hope to inspire others as you have inspired me, my friend.
Hey thanks so much for tuning in and sharing! Sounds like a really cool project. Would love to see what happens with that!
Amazing video! love the speech at the end❤
hey thanks so much!
Life is an imperfectionism
there's some truth there!
Beautiful Zach. Just beautiful
Hey thank you so much!
Love the channel. I'm just a bit north of you doing the same thing. Happy building.
Oh that's awesome! Would love to see how yours turns out!
Love taking this journey with you!🙏💜 can't wait to see the destination!
thanks so much for tuning in! More to come!
You’re a legend Zach, inspiring me. Love this so much
Thanks so much amigo! Appreciate the kind words and support

Hey thanks so much!
Hell yeah dude. Looking forward to seeing the process of getting electrical in there.

@@zachariah_holub thanks buddy. Can’t wait for the rest of your build
Much love. BIG UPS!
Hey thank you so much!
New favourite channel. Inspiring and entertaining. Keep doing what you're doing
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words and support
Im gonna follow this
Woo hoo! Thanks for joining in!
This is great haha. Subbed.
haha thanks alot!
Keep them coming man! You have a lot of love and support from the Rife fam. Everyone deserves to build their cabin in paradise.
Thanks so much amigo!
I used to work on 3.5 million dollar homes in LA and those were not even close to perfect (the horror stories I have) I was the stair guy and those werent even perfect. The boards will settle and if it comes to it just grab a planner and make it flat, their loud and messy but they work.
haha oh wow. This is really good insight actually. Thanks for the info!
you can dooooweeeeeet
haha thanks!
🤩
❤️
figure out what fruit trees you want to plant and try and get some in the ground early on they can take years to bear fruit!
Oh that would be fun! I'll have to look into that
Love it man!! Keep it up
Hey thanks a lot man!
Great video dude👊
Hey thanks a lot!
Hmmm... thinking of doing the same. I also have a forest lot in southern utah, but no power. This looks great
Hey thanks a lot! I'm in Southern Utah as well. It's a great place!
Loving your videos, how often are you trying to post?
Well I'm trying to get one out about every two weeks or so... but it will be a little loose. Just whenever there's a natural break in the progress
Do you think it would have just been easier to use rockwool instead of the reflective stuff? I feel like that insulation choice is gonna haunt you down the road.
Great episode, excited to see where this goes!
Hey thanks for joining in the journey! Oh man, I've thought a lot about this insulation stuff... There's definitely pros and cons to everything... the reflectix is nice because it's easy to install and mice and pests won't get in it and rip it out. Fiberglass and rockwool all get messed with by pests unless you cover up the bottom with wood but then that's a lot more work. I am using rockwool in the walls though
@@zachariah_holub the pest thing is a good point. I'll be starting a cabin build here in a month or so, so it's been something I've gone back and forth quite a bit on. I'm in the PNW, so pretty mild temps more often than not and probably worth my time to deal with the rockwool in the floors. Anyways, looking forward to your videos as I gear up to go down a similar path. We'll see if I end up documenting or not, if so, I'll reach out once that channel gets started up! Good luck and keep up the hard work!
Well, you certainly don’t have to be all plumb and square, but it makes building a lot easier. It becomes a compounding error. I think you’ll regret not fixing it over time.
100% agree. the errors accumulate. Luckily the floor is perfectly level and square. It just has a few gaps I'm not stoked on... but hopefully these won't cause a huge headache down the road.
The tongue and groove seam on the OSB should be perpendicular to your floor joists, no?
Honestly, I read this comment and I was like "oh crap, this guy is definitely right" haha. Oh well... I'll have to fix it somehow
Hey when can we see video number 3? :)
Just released it! Let me know what you think!
Is that your Jeep in the background? Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Oh man, its not but I do love it. Thats where the neighbors park their jeep.
Could a chinese excavator be in the budget? Regardless of what you're building clearing, it would keep you more productive
Oh man... I would love to get one of those. I looked into them for a bit actually... Maybe down the road a little more I can get one... Right now it's all gonna have to be by hand unfortunately
Onya Zach. You should get a better hat to protect your face and ears from the sun. Melanoma is no joke.
Thanks a lot amigo! You're right! I need a nice wide brimmed one like what you've got on!
private property, you'd think this guy was trying to build something in the bush
haha yep it is my land. Wouldn't want to build on somewhere it will get torn down eventually
From another channel. You've sacrificed precision for the sake of progress. Nothin wrong with that here and there.
Love that perspective. Thanks for joining in on the journey!
Comment
this is a great comment
fucked with the music in both vids:)
haha I don't know what this actually means
you're gonna make many more mistakes and will have to make more decisions like these - tear it down and try again or just live with it. that's just the way of building anything. you gain knowledge and do better next time
haha that's so true. Love that perspective!
Your videos are very good but the background music is very annoying while you are talking
Hey thanks for watching! I'll have to tweak the audio a little more on the next one!
Maybe I should do a youtube channel and show how to do it all for nothing.
That would be really interesting!
You should come to my property way up north. I got an old church built in 1949 that I need to tear down. Original and real two by four construction. Ima tear it down and build with the wood. No youtube channel. Just me and my generator and my hands. If I was saavy and had the knowledge to use youtube, it'd be epic. But it'll only be epic for me cause I don't do youtube, other then watch good people like you. I won't pay for one piece of wood and the amount of nails and shit I took out of my old church will make everything free cause it was loaded with boxes of nails and metal and shit.
I bought it for five hundred bucks.
My walls are six by three quarter tounge and groove. Roof is shakes. I got everything for free. I love this guy but he obviously bought shit. I got everything for five hundred bucks.
M y insulation is sawdust and I got land for grass so my compost will be epic
This is a great idea!
This sounds really cool! I'd love to learn more about the process
Love the content quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on the platform
aw shucks! thanks so much!
Another great episode! Keep up the great work, looking forward to the progress!
