In this video I build a 12x16 off grid cabin in the woods . a great nature viewing cabin with lots of windows.I built this cabin with mostly rough sawn lumber , and discounted and second hand materials. this project took about a month to build , including restoring the wood stove and filming everything . the cost was about $4,500. I saved a lot of money buying all the windows second hand , the door was free . Another way I saved money was using rough sawn lumber from the amish to frame the walls and side the exterior. the wood stove was one we bought second hand as well , it was in rough shape but I restored it . And one last money saving was I found a place that sold cabin grade tongue and groove pine at a discounted price .

Hey Buddy. I too was a troubled student. My parent moved me from South America to the Middle East before I came to the USA. My folks are Southern Americans from Louisiana and Georgia, so I entered school in a little town near Atlanta. Most of my teachers thought I was either retarded or just useless. I spoke several languages, but English wasn’t my best one. Thinking back, I was probably smarter than most of my teachers because of where I had traveled in my first 7 years of my life. I can count on one hand, the teachers that I remember and respected. Keep up the good work Buddy!! I love it!

I've never built anything bigger than a bird house, and that was many years ago, yet here I am in my 50's building a small cabin, alone, on the side of a mountain, in a rainforest, on a small island in the Caribbean. Your video has been very informative. I really like the way you framed out your walls and window and door emplacements.

This and Dave's cabin are very similar to one my wife and I built. You both did a great job. We did a 12x16 like you but with an 8x12 loft off one end under which is our outdoor kitchen. It's an A frame but we did a metal roof and I also cut a hole in the roof for the chimney after a big snowstorm and had the same feeling as you. Well it worked out and we slowly got it exactly how we wanted it after 4 years of off and on weekends. Finally finished the wood floor last year and it came out really nice. Nice to see we built in a similar way, either we all did it wrong or we all did it right! I'm a new subscriber.
