The first video like this I have watch and didn’t get anxiety over! Used to work with my dad building and some of these videos. I want to crawl through and straighten out what they’re doing wrong lol. This guy is doing amazing.!

Yeah pretty good idea I like it a lot the only thing so far that o would have done differently is staggering for strength. I watched the overview video with the price breakdown first, and you said that staggering would have cost $100 more, specifically on the roof decking part. But that wouldn't be the case with just a slight plan adjustment, you could have staggered for strength, added a really cool feature, and possibly even saved a little bit of money as well.

That is definitely on my list of things to complete!

Thanks for watching and for the comments. Glad you enjoyed the video. Middle Tn is a great place to live. Take care!

The burn look came out pretty good. More importantly it is going to preserve the wood a lot longer. I'll have to check out that channel. Thanks for wathcing!

Thanks for the comment. It worked out better than expected. Take care!

Absolutely. Summer is brutal even in the shaded woods. Chiggers are awful. Don't ask me how I know... Glad you are enjoying the build and remembering your grandfather. Take care!!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and subscribing. Much more on the way. Take care!

Thank you for the comment. I'm not quite a perfectionist but try to make it look good and be strong and functional at the same time. Your Dad sounds like a good man! Take care!

Thank you for following along. I have a lot more to build on the property. You are the first commenter from Romania I think, so thanks again. Take care!!

Will do. I need to tie the walls to the ceiling and was planning to explain that in my next video. Thanks again for watching.

I'm hoping that chinking the logs will prevent that. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment! Glad you found it. Much more on the way. My Self Reliance is a channel I've watched for a couple years and a huge reason I decided to try building my own cabin. He's an inspiration to many. Take care!

what fucking logs ??? this place is made our of nothing bt lumber . what video were you watching?

there were no logs!! its all built from milled lumber and built to inter lock . he never use one log

@@johnwoods1247 can you link us to your bulds??

​@@johnwoods1247Incredibly rude

Thanks for watching. I started the exact same way...you just need to decide to do it when the time is right. Take care!

Sorry to hear. Maybe someday you'll get it back. Take care

Thanks. I took a gamble with this method since I've never seen a cabin built like this. The tent by the creek is one of my favorite spots. Take care!

Yes it definitely helps. Chinking will also help reduce heat loss. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. Hopefully, I'll have more time for guitar once its done!

Thanks for the comment. I hope you use this method to build your cabin. It's worked out well for me. Take care!

@@TheOffGridExperience with the price of wood being so sky high right now do you think its actually more expensive this way versus traditional stud framing ?

Un trabajo espectacular 👏👍🇪🇸

Yes, it sure does. Although I am looking forward to building a genuine log cabin after this one. Hope I have enough left in the tank to do it.

Thank you. Looking forward to getting it finished so I can relax a little while before moving on to next project. Take care!

This method has worked better than I expected. It would go a lot quicker with more than 1 person doing it and if you could have all the lumber at the build site. I have to haul 8 boards at a time about 1/4 mile, up and down hills and over creeks on my gator... Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment. This method works really well if done right. Take care.

Thanks for watching. Lots more on the way. Take care!

It does come in handy.

Thanks for watching! Take care.

It is both and does have a "log" cabin look and feel. Thanks for watching!

Wow, thanks. I'm not much of a carpenter but thankfully found a way I could build a cabin solo and have the look and feel of real "logs". I'm gonna try building one the traditional way once I get this one done. I'd love to visit Vancouver someday. Take care!!

It's super nice , I'd hate to have that lumber bill tho !😳

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm looking forward to the next chapter too and getting this done. I hope it ends up being as nice as I envision it. Take care.

Glad you like it and that it gives you inspiration. Thanks for watching. Take care!

@@TheOffGridExperience ¹¹¹¹

Thank you!

Yes, you probably could do a bit of it off location. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for the comment! Take care.

Thank you and Take care!

Thanks. I'm looking forward to the fast pace slowing down a little myself. Take care!

Thanks! It really is a cool spot with a lot of natural beauty.. Take care.

I can't wait to see it either..hahaha. Thanks for watching and for the comment! Take care.

Thanks for the comment! I'm in middle Tennessee but I have seen some really beautiful land in the Ozarks. Best wishes on your search. Take care!

Will you putting up a channel when you buy your property?

Thanks for watching! It's been an unbelievable challenge but worth it. I can't wait to see the final build either. I see it in my mind and hope I can recreate it. Take care!

Great to find another lady who likes cabin building! Best of luck to you!

You need a helper.

Thanks for watching. Good idea for next cabin.

There is actually a video from the U.S forestry service showing this building method for a tornado shelter so I know it’s strong. Thanks for watching! Take care.

@@TheOffGridExperience I just found that video, thank you. I had a lot of technical questions that I dont need to ask now!

Thanks for watching! Take care.

The drawings were a huge help to me since I’ve never done this before. Thanks for watching. On to the bedroom and bathroom additions now.

Thanks for the comment. Take care!

Thank you! I'm trying to be meticulous but sometimes it's hard when you are on a roof 20ft up...lol.

Haha...no 50k tractor but I would have never been able to get all the wood to the build site without my 10k Gator. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. Nature has a way of bringing that out in people. Take care.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for watching! It's starting to take shape. Take care.

I agree with you on your thoughts. It is an excellent design, and blends well with the surroundings.

middle Tennessee

Thanks for the comment. It was a lot of hard work, sweat and sometimes cold but well worth it. Take care and Merry Christmas!

Thank you for watching! Take care.

Thanks. It is a really peaceful spot with a lot of natural beauty.

Thanks for the comment! Its worked out well. Take care.

Glad you liked it. I'm happy to answer any questions you have if you decide to try this method. Take care!

Thanks for watching. Glad you find it soothing. I hope it helps people connect to nature in some way. Take care!

The good thing about this style of build is that one person can do it with a little ingenuity. It is very solid as well and I think will last many decades. Best wishes on making your dream come true. Take care.

@@TheOffGridExperience Thanx your right so very solid its ingenus and you showed how one man could easily do this , i also love you show how long a time table it took u working when u could find time but keeping it rolling along, I know some parts of Tennesee dont get much snow but mostly ice storms, but with that A frame style roof your ready for the heaviest snows, I also have a place where two smaller streams run together there not as big or have as much water flowing as yours, but they do run slowly with water year roud, i guess i could open the water control device on my lake and have a good steady sounding stream flowing over night for the sound effects, my grandfather built his house in west virginia on a bluff about what is called 12 pole creek he is basically on a high bank next to the water above flood lines, but has in the middle of his property a place where the strean narrows n gets shallow where in older days used to be a ford where people would take short cuts thru to another road, but there is a small rapids there in the water and standing outside next to the you can hear that stream year round n its always cooler in the summer time by his house with that Stream/river the sounds are just so relaxing ! we used to life there when we first moved there for several months while looking for a place n i spent every night with my bedroom window open n a screen in place listening to the sounds of the water relaxing me to sleep along with frogs n all creatures of the nights, once u experience that its in your blood forever n you could never be happy in the city again, im still living in the country n always will, i wish i had a larger creek though, lol enjoy my friend going to look n see if part 2 is out yet, thanks again !

@@AmericanPatriot-cw9xe your grandfathers land sounds amazing. Not many places left like that with all the development taking place. Nothing like hearing the sound of a stream roll by day or night whether it's sitting on a porch or going to sleep. Thanks again for watching!

Thanks for watching. Stay tuned! More on the way. Take care.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! Looking forward to getting it finished. Take care.

Thanks for subscribing! I love watching these types of videos myself. I learn a ton from others and feel the same way. Take care!

I wanted the look of a log cabin without using real logs. This seemed to be the best option for my situation. Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you. I'm just getting started.
