Everything You Need to Build This $5,000 A-Frame Cabin 

🥲You are one of my biggest inspirations on RU-vid and I really appreciate you taking the time to leave an encouraging comment😊 Best of luck on your journey as well🙂

​​@@desertsolidude Me too. I luv girlinthewoods! Good job subscribed. Karly from Main

Thank you so much!!!

I really appreciate your kind words and I’m so glad it was helpful for you☺️ Wishing you much luck and minimal frustration on your build😂🙃

Thank you so much!!! Yes the outhouse/outdoor shower is coming!!! Soon? I think?😆 Thanks for watching Diane have a great night🙂

That’s so awesome! For sure let me know when you do would love to see it😄

Thank you so much Dieshawn! You won’t regret building one it’s such a fun and rewarding undertaking! I had no building experience and I am still a beginner but it gave me a lot of confidence! If you are new just remember you can find a RU-vid video for each step of the way and it makes it feel manageable and less overwhelming.🙂 good luck and send me a photo when you finish I’m sure it’s going to be awesome😎

Thanks E-man! You are welcome anytime my friend😎

Thank you so much my friend! I really never expected this to reach a global audience..so neat😆 Appreciate your support and hope you have a most excellent year ✌️

Yeah y’all should definitely make one! Or two or three🤪It was nice finding out I spent less than I thought by a few thousand. Although I’m not sure where that money went?!😂 and thank you so much! For sure getting in a better and better place. it’s nice to have such a big project that takes up most of my energy😝

Appreciate you watching! Girl in the Woods was one of my main inspirations for this build actually😁 Hope you go with the design would be cool to see another out in AZ!

Thanks Joseph!

Thanks for watching 🙏 🙂

Really appreciate your kind words Terri! Yeah putting myself out there has always been a struggle for me. I’m trying to be a bit more open this year and I feel like I’m feeling more confident with each video. Just so unnatural and silly talking to yourself all day🤣 With all the kind folks watching and commenting that has really inspired me to keep trying to make content so again thank you so much ✌️

Appreciate you saying that Mike. I’m very much a beginner and have a lot to learn!

🙂

Really appreciate you taking the time to watch thanks Deanna!

Really appreciate you taking the time to watch thanks Deanna!

Thank you so much! If you go to my channel there is a start to finish build video🙂

Great question! I think the main thing I would do differently is make it wider than 10feet so the walls would be less steep and with the extra square footage I could fit a bathroom nook. I would also recommend maybe not installing the clear wall if you are somewhere very cold and also insulating. Installing the loft is key in winter you can buy a cheap little buddy heater and the heat will rise up in the loft and keep you toasty. I am building an outhouse for my toilet but another cheap option is googling camp toilet and just setting up inside when you need it. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Hope you take the camera out would love to see it🤩!!!

Chipotle is delicious, thanks Pablo😂

Haha I’m not sure exactly what you mean are you talking about the cabin specifically? It’s a build by Deek who owns relaxshacksdotcom and it’s been built by quite a few people I think the most popular build video is Brooke from Girl in the Woods. If that’s not what you mean my bad😂

@@desertsolidude that's it, saw it on Brook's channel

@@nordseeistmordsee she’s my hero😂

That sounds like an incredible undertaking I wish you the best of luck! Each county is a bit different regarding codes. Cochise has an owner opt out where you can forego any inspections or permitting. Pima county has a specific tiny house ordinance and allows for no permits for structured under 200sq ft if there is a main structure. I don’t know much about northern az but I’m sure they are not incredibly strict you can probably bring up the codes on the government site for whatever county it is. The reality is most people doing this type of stuff operate in very much a grey area and you have to kind of access the risk if you do decide to go a non traditional route. My best advice maybe would be to build something on wheels if possible. My friend who built a tiny house in New Hampshire got around all codes by just building on a trailer. Had a friend in New Orleans do the same thing and he gets no trouble. Wish you the best of luck hope that helps somewhat my email is desertswagman@gmail.com if you have more questions that don’t fit in a video response ✌️ 🙏

You are allowed to park up an RV for a few years while building a main structure from my understanding without a septic which is in the works. Land was 8k. You can message me on Instagram @desertsolitudedude if you want more info! Can only fit so much here lol

I believe wood was a lot cheaper when he made his video? Also this is 2x his original plan but that is still a bit of a difference in price. I’m honestly not really sure how you could build one that cheap other than using a lot of free materials.
