STARTING OVER | My Off Grid Cabin Build
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- It's been a long time coming. We stumbled upon the opportunity to purchase this off grid cabin in remote northern Maine. This will be a huge project to improve the road and renovate the cabin inside and out.
In July, just before I bought the cabin I was hospitalized and diagnosed with diverticulitis and an intestinal abscess. This infection made me lose weight and strength and I'm still slowly recovering.

I found the chapters in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.
I think it’s wise to tear down the whole thing and start fresh. The amount of black mold on the walls is a concern for your own wellbeing. Start fresh free of the mold and you will live healthier in the long run. I am sure there are a few viewers who could support you and help you get the tools you need to build fresh. Hang in there and God will bless you abundantly in the coming weeks! Stay warm and safe. Love seeing Gracie resting in comfort! ❤
Tear it all down and start over with the help of your friends and supporters is a great idea.
I love to see grace playing around and checking on you from time to time❤❤❤❤
She’s the best
I like how you do your videos. Speed up through the boring parts but still showing it. Makes it far more interesting to watch. Good luck with your project!
I'm a 67 year old man in Georgia.
I'm so very proud of you young man!! Fellow your dreams. Wish I had. That's why will always be here with you and the channel, of you and Gracey.
Thank you 🙏
God's got you covered. Go for it, build a fresh home from scratch. God's strength and your energy. No problem. And you've got the best cheerleader ever in Gracie. Take awhile and play. Got ya in my prayers.
Prayers for You and Gracie, for strength and Wellness, to do what You have to do to make your property livable
That floor construction fills me with unbridled rage
Hahahaha…
I feel like Cory’s jet sled deserves a shout out for how rugged that things been so far lol. Glad you’re bringing us all along on this journey Cory, it’s been both entertaining and educational.
Johnny cash burning ring of fire!!! Time to build new! Keep the content coming
Well, is sad that the cabin wasn't what you hoped to be. But now you know that the future build will be safe to live in. There's going to be a lot of work, but you are a very determined young man, you can do it! Prayers are going your way to keep you safe and healthy so you can tackle this build with no issues.
SUGGESTION raise your new cabin incase that land ever floods. Nice vids.
Becareful what nails u use on bridge as they can work free and pop your tires when you drive over them. Maybe use steel cables or heavy duty bolts.
Youve given yourself the answer by pulling that house apart. Its saying, build new. You did your due diligence.
Becareful w that mold around and Gracie even when burning it. Those spores are dangerous to you lungs and health. All the infestations, structural and moisture issues you uncovered gives you insight on how and what to do to make your new cabin better.
If anything, leave it up, minus the mold, and use it as a wood shop, garage and tool storage as you build your new cabin.
Awe Cory look at that sweet face of Gracie! she sure loves you and wants to play with you all the time. Praying for you in your Indeever with your house! I am so glad you can stay in your apartment so it will make it easier for you not to have to rush with your cabin. Gracie is in her happy place with her Antler. Cory it is always a good day when we start with God's word to refresh us. Oh wow look at that I think salamander! awesome ❤ Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Cory praying for Gods guidance for you.
What a kind message.
Glad to see you going this route. Good hard work will prevail. Good job!
So refreshing to hear someone in New England who is a young man, saying, he is going to read the Bible! Love it! My husband and I read our Bible everyday! God’s instruction book! Many blessings of the day to you!
You've got the structure , work with what you have. Beef it up
Hey, it works. (The Bridge) Your Puppy is a real sweetheart.
Sometimes taking a step back and starting over puts you ahead. Don't let it bring you down. You know your vision and all will be well. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey and especially including Gracie.
I wish I had the money to give to you to build your dream cabin. I'll be praying for you.
Good call on tearing the old building down. It looked like black mold and rot had reached almost everywhere. It will be interesting to see what kind of permanent foundation you use. I always go for concrete pylons, they last forever and won't rot.
Smart move keeping the structure beef up the floor rip everthing down to studs and now your good to go
Build a new cabin. I felt that from the beginning. It'll be so beautiful and made with love and quality materials. I know Gracie approves ❤💯👍🏼 my favorite time of year 🍃🍂🌲🍁🌲🍃🍂🌲🍁 🍁🍃🍂🌲
You deserve a healthy, safe and pleasing habitat.
When you were talking about the beams on the side of the road and Gracie was in front, you she just wanted some attention and love. Good Luck.
She always does
Can't wait to see you starting on a new cabin!! You are a good hard worker! 👍🌲😁
Glad you have decided to start the build from scratch 👍 You’ve done a great job on the bridge it looks way safer.
I think about you everyday and wonder how you're doing. I say a little prayer for you telling the good Lord to watch over you. Glad you can keep your appartment, another worry off your list. I'm like you, I do everything myself. God Bless you both and stay safe. 👍
So glad to know that you are tearing down the cabin...smart, smart decision.I admit to wringing my hand a bit over that one lol I was talking to my TV saying to you, " tear it down!" 😅
Tough decision but probably the right one. You will be more satisfied in the end.
Building a cabin your way would have to be better for your spirit than contending with trying to figure out what the previous owners did - or why - at least you will have a clear picture of your goals and the challenges along the way. Godspeed...
Nothing there to salvage! I like how you burn down a house, board by board.
I’m sure your new build will be wonderful, done to proper code, with big windows to see the forest from inside!
You certainly are a relentless worker.
Good luck on building your cabin that will be your own
I think that is a smart move tearing that one down and starting new. You would be spending too much money in repairs. You know the saying, if you're gonna do it, you may as well do it right. Looking forward to your new build. Wish I was there to help you. Good luck with everything.
Still most people would give their right arm to own that property and be able to build whatever you want...Good Luck...stay safe please....this is coming from someone who fell 20 feet off of a ladder last month.....I am ok...getting better ever day....
You have to make the decision as to starting over or not. Get the advice from your fellow builders and them make decision. Pray on it
God will show you the way. Love the love between you and Gracie. She is wonderful. God Bless you both.❤❤❤❤❤
I honestly believe that you will never regret your decision to tare down and build your dream cabin. Best of luck to you and Gracie I DO BELIEVE GOD WILL GUIDE YOU WELL ON THIS JOURNEY
Good on you Cory. You’ve done a great job so far either this worthwhile project. Jesus will always be with you & Gracie. Your determination & work ethic is commendable. Be proud of the way you carry yourself, & you’re never afraid to show your faith. Bless you my brother in Christ 🤗🙏
Sometimes life deals you a bad hand of cards! On to better builds! Super excited to see how the build happens going forward!
Gracie is such an amazing friend, you two are made for one another, bridge is looking great, as is the cabin, can’t wait to see what you do next, your Alaskan friend
That's some beautiful country isn't it. Reminds me of Western Canada
Good decision!! I would tear down and start new as well!
I'm so sorry your cabin turned out to be such a problem. One door closes and a much better one will open!! My heart goes out to you for all the hard work and extra effort you put into. Your new construction will be 100 times better. I will be watching your videos as everything starts to come together. You sounded so frustrated. Chin up young man.....I know you can do it!!!
Surly in the end you will be glad. A lot of hard work so far but the decision you made will be for the best. God bless as you go forward.
An idea (maybe for future) is one I got from a Czech wild water club which is to use an old semi trailer chassis as the base for a bridge like yours.
Corey, thank you for a great video and very happy that you are going to start over. You will be safer and yours totally. Prayers continue to keep you healthy to complete your new home.
Amazing how bad that was constructed. Good luck. We all know you can do it.
Prayers you are feeling better now 😊.
Use Vinegar and water to kill the black mold it works fast and paint or spray mildew proof in studs works great
It's been lots hardwork.But it will be so rewarding when done ...keep up the marvelous work.... that yard looking beautiful put in the mind of the Cabin Bluefield wva...only different front porch with swings @rocking chairs...animals are the best she loves you. Wish both the best❤❤😁😁😁
Thanks 👍
You'll get to feeling better, Cory. I'll be visiting your Amazon store to buy someone a Christmas gift.
Something new is on the horizon for you and Grace . I believe you stumbled upon the deepening truth that you MUST start a new.
Cabin build maybe..?
Peace and God he w you always brother.
Yes 💯
The shot of Gracie in the truck after you told her not to come over to you while dumping the gravel. 🤣
I'm really excited to see where you get with this property! The hard work/blood/tears will all be worth it in the end.
Starting a new build may or may not be cheaper, but its faster and gives you a better sense for what you're doing and where the end of the road is. But I would not demo the old cabin yet. It would serve as a good storage area for material and a work station when its too wet or too hot. At the very least it gives you a place to put your tools.
God bless you. He will guide you ❤
Always
Heads up! You did a great job so far. Build your own dream cabin from the ground up. God will lead you. Trust in him. He already sent you Gracy so there is a beam of light with you every day. Thank you for you videos. God bless you and Gracy!
Really hard labor and effort man great work it’s really rewarding when it comes together! Enjoying watching and seeing Gracie playing with ya 👍
Thanks 👍
So much work but take it one step at a time you will be happy when you can sit on your front porch and look back. You are such a hard worker and you and Gracie girl will prevail
If anyone can start this from scratch and rebuild a dream cottage, it is you! Good Luck, be careful, and looking forward to seeing the finished cottage!
Wow. I'm tired just watching all that work! Good job.
Hey Corey it stinks that things turned out the way they did. But honestly if you are going to be living there and looking big picture it's the best decision.
One thing is you have some options now, is that exactly where you would put it? Better view of things maybe?
Maybe set something up where folks could help out with some of the funding if they wanted. Lots of people love what you're doing! ❤
You got this Corey!!!😊😊😊
Good choice I totally agree with you !!! 👍👍
When you rebuild you should check out the boss of the swamp he's in New Hampshire and when he builds a camp he puts bubble foil on the joist then plwoods over it he has a video of how he does it and skirts the caribou and can walk around in the winter barefoot and the floor is warm worth checking out at least
That looks like black mold!!! So glad you can rebuild
SO relieved for you Cory. But what a phenomenal amount of work to arrive at the final conclusion. But we know that what you will do with a new cabin build will be phenomenal - and built with a view to last. The quality will be outstanding we've no doubt. So glad to see your journey with this and I only wish that I could financially support this initiative because I believe in you brother. Praying that all will go well as you live out your life before us.
Cory, you have accomplished tons!!! Am happy to see you getting that bridge lots safer!! I am happy for ya!!! So much hard work, but its coming around!! Keep up your hard work. What was that lizard thing with yellow dots?????? That thing was nothing i have seen.
I am sorry you found all that mold, ants & mice. Building from ground up, i know what your finished product will look awesome!!!
Beautiful place, you will enjoy this for years to come. Thanks for sharing.
hi, I`m 48 years old woman from the east of germany i like your videos.I hope you and Gracy find the right way to start new at this place, sorry for the old rotten cabin and your hard work.But a new beginning with a new cabin is better and you can say " it`s my cabin. There is so much wonderfull nature arround you to life your dreams, get better health, having fun with Gracy. God bless you two
good job keep going!
On the bottom of your floor joinces (outside part near the ground) staple metal screening (at most building supply big box stores) so that the mice from getting in the cabin from underneath. This is what professionals builders do in German with cabin builds. This will prevent other larger animals too from biting into the floor ply wood and getting into the home.
God has truly blessed you....now you can build it right and how you want😮
The Lord brings us through trials at times to help us grow.
Keep up the hard work! Might consider just dropping that cabin to the ground and use it as a storage shed.
It needs to go, that’s where the new cabin will be
Can'O'Worms. I do like the time lapse
Thank you for sharing all this with us !
Your scenic videos are breath taking...such a gorgeous area !
Glad Gracie is your voice of reason for unsafe places and over-extended strength !
I understand your drive to finish a phase , but the physical price paid can set you back ,
especially with winter coming . Wishing you good health , complete recovery and
a completed project that makes your heart happy !
As you've said, it's one beautiful piece of land, a great location. I'm sure you'll do what needs to be done in order to get that place the way you and God want it to be. I'm pretty sure Gracie is in full agreement, lol. God bless you, young man. If something you want done gets done, it's obviously because you're a dog to work and you have a faith life; hard to find a more hard-working young man. He'll give you the desires f your heart. Thanks for having us join you when you can. Love it.
I’m still really fascinated by the metal structure in the bridge. As for the camp, it’s going to be a short term pita, but will pay off by having a cleaner safer structure just the way you want it.
Glad you found all that Bad, but yet sad you have to start over, the good news is you get to build Your Cabin your way , and that will be Awesome, You and Gracie take Care,,,
Gracie said there is enough room in her bed for a puppy companion 03:02 I'm surprised to see you still trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear I thought sure you would go for the 'kit'
Road is looking good, amazing what one person with ambition and drive can achieve.
Love the DIY videos.
Good choice. Blessings.
Ur doing great, just keep pacing urself. One day ull look back at all this n smile.
You gave it a shot. Good luck with the new build. I’m sure you’ll like it much better. Can you just set it on fire?
Some of the old floor covering products were made with asbestos in them. I am an apartment manager and more than once I have had floor installers refuse to tear out the old flooring because of asbestos concerns. They do however cover the old flooring with thin plywood sheeting and then lay the old floor over that.
Excellent bridge work!!!!
👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
Enjoy your pup...I just lost my black lab 4 days ago... they are the best!
I so agree with others here, you made the wise decision. I admire your perseverance and calm demeanor. In the long run you will be glad you are building from scratch. May you be blessed as you move forward!
Recent sub, and I love the content brother. But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Little by little no matter what you choose to do it will be wonderful wither to keep going or trash the whole place cause it looks like it needs be unpon seeing the the place starting over would be a joy either way you will have put every ounce of your blood sweat and know who in its place😊
Speak to the person in charge of the volunteer fire department, they might do a controlled burn for pratice, it's somewhat common thing
Loving the videos. Well done. Keeps me going.
Joe and Donnie!
I’ve been talking with them
Congratulations on your cabin and land. And prayers for your swift recovery from your intestinal illness, I have IBS so it does change your life. I eat pickles, Great Value Walmart dill spears as they're mild on spice and vinegar, to immediately neutralize the stomach acid and balance the PH in my gut naturally.
Great work on the bridge!
All the best. Keep on.
You are one of the hardest workers I have ever seen. May God bless you.
Yah ! A new video.
Nothing that a can of gas and a match won't fix. Good luck. I've been involved in a few cottage reno's and mice and mold come with the territory for anything old. Great job!
Very good decision brother.
Wise move starting over and working with a fresh and new perspective. Who knows once you opened the ceiling what construction mishaps awaited you.
Really enjoy - thanks for sharing your adventures!
