Priceless. I’m embarking on a 5 acre remote project involving rehabbing a 12x12 log cabin. It would have been so easy 20 years ago, but now at 63 with some health issues it is way more a challenge. Pray for me, lol.

Rooting & praying for you !!! My husband and I just bought 11 acres totally off grid with a 366 ft log cabin. Hasn't been taken care of in years we have so much to do......day by day, doing what we can afford and have time for. We hope to retire here in woods ❤

Local building codes and permit fees can crush a dream. That was my first lesson in home ownership. It's a tough lesson. I ended up selling at a slight loss and moving on.

My dream! Lots of regrets, my first marriage was to a house builder who REFUSED to build me a house... by the time I divorced him with no money it was all out of reach. Today we would love to try this, but I'm 64..... I still do furniture refurb, but no building anything large... praying we can do this some day!

@joedonnelly9487 3 месяца назад

Jay & Jen are very genuine - Brooke, thank you for highlighting them and their journey. The sheer grit to build their own place - and it is a very cozy looking place. My wife and I, have a cabin, I suspect not too far from them in northern Michigan....we're not too far behind them in our "build"....our cabin existed but was not finished out. Right now we're blocked-out due to snow depth, last update I have from Jan 21 is 16 or more inches. Have no place to securely store snowmobiles to do the 4/10's of a mile to get down the two track and up the driveway. Nothing holds Jay & Jen back - they make do with what they have and actually make their off grid setting functional and nice.

May be 4 or 5 years before I build, but I'll have land to go camp on if nothing else, in the meantime. I lol'd at the double toilet paper. Beautiful home!! Only thing I wouldn't like is the loft.

My house is 990 square ft. Including the garage. Here in Santa Barbara,California in one of the most expensive housing areas I bought and sold 2 houses since 1976 then bought the house and property from my ex spouse abt. 25 years ago and just paid it off🥰❣️Over the years we have renovated the inside completely plus just installed a gazebo and Pergola & Solar Panels on the outside- have always wanted a cabin in the woods but my little house is perfect in its imperfection.❤So great to see a young couple do this so early in their lives. Am 79 in couple days & so Thankful for my little home🥰❣️
