Thanks for watching!

Dude, you are amazing. Please dont misinterpret my meaning when i use the word "simple," but i have never seen a more beautiful cabin built with simple construction. What a nice cabin! I only WISH i could build such a place. What really amazed me was what all you were able to accomplish with no help from anyone. Thank you for sharing your work. God bless yall, & enjoy your new cabin in the woods!
Thank you Sam, your comments are quite humbling. I really appreciate it! Thank you very much and God bless you too! ! !
I enjoyed your video, humor and all. Thank you for making it different 😊 Great job on the cabin!!! Love it!
Thank you very much! And I’m glad you enjoy my humor! Gotta have some fun! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful, well built and very tastefully done.
Thank you, Barry! Very much appreciated. Can’t believe I built it!
I watched the whole series of video's, this cabin has a simplistic, clean vibe (my opinion). it's a very cool cabin, great job on the building and a very good job on this fast track, version ! Can't wait for the next build.
Thank you, Robert! I appreciate all the compliments!! I’m glad you liked the faster build video! I prefer it as well, and was hoping it was suited for others too! Thanks again
Super nice. Well done.
Much appreciated! Thank you very much!
I’d love to see you tackle the saddle notch on the next build. Still love your channel, brother.
Thank you JD! It’s a possibility I’ve been thinking about. If I use bigger logs I think I’d give it a try!
We’re you cold during the build? Lol just kidding. F’ing outstanding job!!! I enjoyed watching
I was cold a time or two! Luckily it wasn’t far from the house so coffee and a fire were always close by. Thanks for watching!
Me thinks, once you folks settle down in your new location, you are going to build a custom home in the near future. Possibility? Good luck to you and the family!!!
Thank you Herb! I am thinking about maybe a single bedroom with a bathroom and kitchen might be doable this time around!
So you used approximately 60 logs or trees.
Originally I was thinking 40-50, and I always wanted to count stumps in the spring when the snow melted but I never got up there to do it. But when I think about it 50-60 might be a better estimate. I did get quite a few trees that produced multiple log lengths. So the estimate is a little tough. But great question.
This is *exactly* what I want to build on my land in Maine! I should have bought land closer (I live in Chicago) - tough to get enough time off to make any progress. But, dude, this was totally inspiring, thanks for adding all the extra time to the build to document it! I'll check out the long-form video too. Glad the algorithm brought me here, subscribed. Good luck on the next one!
Thanks Josh! I hope you can get one built, it is quite satisfying work! It definitely helped the timeline that it was in my back yard. I appreciate the compliments! Those are what makes it worth filming! Thank you thank you!
I am EXTREMELY very very concerned about wild fires. I would LOVE to move offgrid in the mountains but it is the wild fires that is extremely concerning. You are building a wooden structure... so I assume you are NOT in a wild fire prone area? What state or country is this in? I have been desperately trying to figure out where it is even possible for me to live a simple peaceful life offgrid in the mountains (where it's not humid in summers and snows in the winter because I need snow! and the property taxes are not CIMINALLY high like it is in Vermont!!! all property taxes are criminal but some states are worse than others) but the wild fires are massive worry!!! 😰
Ironically the cabin is in Vermont! No worries about forest fires this year, just floods. Hope you find a nice little spot. Thanks for watching!
Are you Daniel Day-Lewis?
Haha what do you mean?
Nice job, where did you build your small cabin? In your bio it says it is Vermont so we are curious if it is there. Happy trails. Good luck with your new build. You are very talented. God bless you. Brianne
Thank you! The small cabin was in Vermont, the new cabin build is in South Dakota, we move out here a year ago. I’ll have to fix my bio!
Nice log cabin and a good way to build and save money
Thanks Terry! The logs being cut from the property definitely saved me a bundle! Thanks for watching!
One of the nicest and prettiest cabins I've seen built in a long time... Nice job
Wow, thank you! Very much appreciated!
This has to be one of the nicest little cabin i've ever seen. I love it nice job!

Wonderful.
Thank you! Very much appreciated!!!!

Thank you very much for the complimentary comments! Thanks for watching !!
I can't wait for your new location and build, i hope you will share as I have so enjoyed watching you, blessings to you and your delightful family.
Thank you Dawn! If I build again (which is the plan,) I will certainly share! Blessings to you as well!
Just bought 20acres in the UP of Mich. To the cabin build site!!! Awaaay!!
Awesome congrats! If you video it. I’ll subscribe!
Lovely little cabin. Rustic. I like that.
Thank you!! Turned out better than expected!! Thanks for the compliment and for watching!
Admire your tremendous work discipline. The cabin looks great!
Very much appreciated Johny! Thanks for watching!!
wicked video so much work i love it! are the logs treated when they are felled or after the cabin is complete?
Thank you very much! The logs were so green when I fell them that they will have to wait a year or two to be treated.
awesome! very impressive all that was done in 5 months mostly by one person!@@DIYDemasi
@@6GEARPINNED thank you thank you! I can’t believe it myself sometimes!
Nice project!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
So how long did it take to finish from start to end
Just over 5 months, if I remember correctly.
Good for you brother. Beautiful Lady Friend
Thank you, Ken.
Fantastic build, a dream of many.
Very much appreciate, Jim! My newest dream is to build another one!
Awesome build👍👌
Thank you! Very much appreciated!!
Great video, way to go
Thanks Tobias! Really appreciate the feedback!! Thanks for watching!
Hey Guys. Looking Great! I noticed that you've built on SEVERAL LOCATIONS - because of the diverse locations - are You building on Public Lands. One Serious Question: Are these for your own "Personal Use" or in "DIRE EMERGENCY" 😮 If considered PRIVATE will the PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS to these Cabin Built on Public Land. . . .Undoubtedly, National Forest Employees will notify you... in the Event of LOST INDIVIDUALS who may have found shelter in your cabins ( Plural ). JUST TO BE CLEAR!! I LOVE YOUR WORK.
This is my first build and it was on our property. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
What did you use for chinking? and where did you get the refillable caulk tube? Thx
I used log jam chinking. You can get the tube on Amazon, there are a few different kinds, and I bought the wrong type, so make sure to look carefully!
I have sent an email 6th August

Nice family

Hey New England Neighbor. We’re in Maine on 90 acres. Would love a small camping cabin if you’d ever be interested.
Thank you for the offer, that is quite humbling. Unfortunately we moved out west a couple weeks ago! If you wanna buy some land out here, I’ll build you a cabin!
@@DIYDemasi you moved out west?
@@DIYDemasi Why would you leave beautiful New England?
@@ourmainelife455 No doubt New England has a lot of beauty. But raising our kids out west was our top priority.
Than no reason to follow your channel, good luck
Beyond wonderful my dear SON…I had not seen this (but, you know about me and technology!). Trying to tune into your newest one…not successful so far.👍❤️🩹
Thank you Mom! Hope you can also find the latest! 😅
