Stuck in life's fast lane? Have you tried cabin therapy?
I am no Henry David Thoreau. Not sure about the two years alone in the woods thing...but a place where we can get away from it all? Yes, please!
Wouldn't an off-grid mountain cabin be great? A place where we can enjoy winter activities, wildlife, access to miles of trails, and amazing views! A mountain stream and huckleberries?!

Felicitaciones de lujo maestro

De lujo felicitaciones
Thanks for the kind words.
You've got a big helper there! I bet he's a handful. They are the most fun!!
Yes, he does keep us on our toes...but they are lots of fun!
You’ve made great headway in a short period, Josh. Nice work!
Thanks!
I love it when sons are on the worksite. It shows them good work ethic! I wish I had my son all through my cabin build 😩 Great work!
Thanks! It is a great way to model a solid work ethic. Early on as a parent and DIYer I thought that my kids would need to be at a certain age before they could learn from anything I was building. I’ve now seen that they do pick up more than you think and it’s worth spending the time to include them in the project.
@tinycabinpnw Absolutely 💯 they pick up more than we realize and they are very good imitators.
Hey Buddy...I dig it!
Thanks Todd glad you enjoyed it. If you find yourself in the PNW and need a place to crash we can hook you up!
@@tinycabinpnw alright Josh thanks 👍
Very Nicely done, sir. Is that going to be a full time homestead or a weekender? I'm still digesting zoning codes etc.
For now it will primarily be a weekender, but I want to set it up so we could live in it full time during the fall and summer. Winter would be a bit more challenging to live full time because of the snow depth.
That’s really cool! It’s impressive that you also included your son in the build too. I want to build a fishing cabin myself. I’m a little intimidated because of my lack of experience. What’s the best way to ease into cabin building? Just go for it? Read some books beforehand?
I completely understand the intimidation. I've been there myself. Going forward I'm going to try to do a better job on this channel of going through all the steps in more detail to help anyone who wants to follow along.

Very nice job Josh very nice job Brother Hey it said that there was some land cheap can you help me out and let me know where that land is up there or give me some information about it so I can look and peek I've been wanting to do this for about the last 5 years and I'm still stuck in a rat race in the city please let me know brother keep up the good work looks good thank you sir
Unfortunately, all the lots in the area I built have all been sold. I've seen many cabin builders mention they used landwatch.com to find their properties. I basically stumbled into finding our lots through a friend of a friend.
Here are some videos describing how some of my favorite cabin builders found properties:

@@tinycabinpnw thank you
you're little foreman is a cute little guy . like the big ole window . going to be nice in there for sure . you going to have a wood burner in there ?
I will have a wood stove in there but winter snuck up on me before I could get it to the cabin. Unfortunately it will be late May before I can get in there with a vehicle. Here’s a video on finding my stove:

@@tinycabinpnw well i understand winter i live in michigan . nice way to sneak in another video good job lol .
👍♥️👍♥️👍🇹🇭
what size, square ft is your cabin, 16x20 ?? what pitch is roof? thanks for your video. lookin good
Thanks for the kind words. It’s 12x20 and the roof is 10:12 pitch. Those dimensions allowed me to use full 4x8 sheeting in several areas. That pitch allow me to use 12’ roof sheeting without cutting
@@tinycabinpnw thanks for your wisdom
no proper vent? moisture issues down the road
Yes, venting is a challenge with this design. It was a tradeoff between maximizing R value and adding a bit of venting above the insulation. This one of the reasons I went with Rockwool insulation in the ceiling. If condensation does occur, the Rockwool does allow drying to occur back to the interior without degrading thermal performance.
i would rather have lower r value with ventilation. moisture will ruin the building. that is going to sweat.
