In this episode of our off grid cabin build series, we are getting ready for a very cold winter. We are installing a vapor barrier in our cabin on the exterior walls and the ceiling. We are stapling it to the studs and sealing it up with tape.

Build a wood box frame the size of your exposed pipe and the get a piece of your left over tin roof which you would have to cut larger that the wood box opening by 2 inches around to protect from water damage to box. Put a piece of insulation inside the box glued to tin roofing material to insulate your pipe. No cost as you have everything there already as scraps!! Fill around with dirt.

Closing the openings in the floor to reduce the cold air being drawn up from the crawl space and insulating the floor to stop the crawl space drawing heat down from the house will have a great effect. That is why all-year round RV/caravans have well insulated floors. If your feet are cold you feel cold. Great vlog, very inspiratiional.

Best to seal the VB poly vapour tight and air tight, as vapour/air can cause the difference in interior and exterior temps to condensate between the wall cavities (batt insulation or on surface of sheathing). Highly suggest you use tuck tape to seal them seams, the dollar store tapes lose its hold over time. For extra you can use a bead of sealant along the bottom perimeter of the poly to the wall. Again, just a suggestion, you do you. I love what the family is doing and I wish I could too!

Use caulking for your bottom wall framing to the outside of your home to seal out the cold air coming into your home. A cheap project that could help with the temperature in your home! Check around windows, doors, electric outlet boxes and light switch outlet boxes for cold drafts too. Enjoy your build and God Bless

To each their own. The beauty of building your own house is that you can build it anyway you want unless you live in an over regulated code infested area. However when we put it out on RU-vid for the world to see we should always expect some pushback. And have the strength to go forward with what we think is best for our own house. There’s always a better way to do it and people to tell you how. Thanks for the complement!

I've found that poly or PEX pipes and fittings are the best for cold climates. Far better than any type of metal or PVC. PEX can in some cases actually freeze solid without bursting, as it's very resilient and can expand without breakage. Kraft face insulation is in itself a vapor barrier. If using poly wrap it's best to use un-faced insulation. Anytime you go poly over kraft face it's a good idea to cut periodic slits in the kraft so if any moisture does get through the poly, it doesn't 'sandwich' between the two barriers, potentially causing mold on the paper. I've been a licensed builder here in Michigan since 1992 and been homesteading Michigan's UP winters for over 20 years. The lakes have been frozen here a month already...the fun is just getting started! Good luck...you'll be an expert in no time! ;)

Hey guys house is looking awesome, if you can find a cabinet shop or some place with saw dust it wood work good to cover up the line and insulate it for this winter and is pretty easy to dig back out if you have to. For on the cheap it’s hard to beat. Then cover it with plastic to keep it dry. Have a good one guys!
@mikeoconnell4229

Yo martain family! Suggestion: When the soil is workable,dig down to the tank bottom and wrap the tank with r-19 or 30. And plastic. Wrap to normal high water level. Backfill with soil. Insulation will give a thermal break.

Well, a lot of your air infiltration is due your heat source. You are burning wood, which needs air, which is being drawn in from outside, anywhere it can enter. You can't make the house airtight. O2 starvation is usually deadly. Bring an air vent from the *outside* of your foundation (keep the warmer air under the floor) through your floor and up into the air intake for the stove. You are burning cold dense air which will actually help the burn, and you are not venting your precious heated oxygen rich air up the chimney. I learned this all up in Maine heating with wood at 42 below 0. Also, make sure you have some air turnover because moisture in an airtight home is the enemy. You'll grow mold in the strangest places. If you are drawing cold air in for fresh air exchange, run it past the exhaust stack of the stove to preheat it, if possible.

I think it's a temporary solution to use greenhouse film. The next problem with this can be humidity level inside the house. And ventilation sure. The wood boards must breath - to get to be more dry or more moist. I don't know how cold winters are in your place but water freezing in the tube is the serious problem too. In the country where I live, it's needed to dig the trench for water pipes to the deep approx. for more then 3 foots (1 meter) or even deeper to avoid pipes to be broken by frozen water. Cause we have very little snow cover on winter. Then you can try to dig the tube from the tank deeper or to think how to make insulation or even to make some water pipe heating on low temperatures. Thanks for sharing your problems with us, we need to help you to get everything done together.

@markapickett

Another small consideration for the future - when/if you replumb the water line between your tank and the house, if you will upsize your galvanized pipe to 1 1/4” at least, you will greatly reduce the likelihood of that line freezing in the winter. Also, keeping your water tank fuller by bringing in another 1 or 2 pods and raising the water level, you will decrease the likelihood of freezing. Great idea using hot water in a bag to thaw the line! They also have inexpensive, battery powered hose-end sprinkler timers you could set on a water bib at night and have it demand water periodically through the night to keep water moving thru the pipe. Just have it drain into a big (clean) bucket and then pour it back in the tank in the morning.🎅🏻🙂👍🏻

Also insulate that tank like they say with hey but then put rockwool on top and then cover with tarping that should help and in when you need to fill it up again you just take the tarp it off in a little bit of the Rockwell unscrew the cap and then fill it back up that should help stop it from freezing, also use ropes around the tarping to hold it in place from the wind

i am glad to see you are sealing it up with 6 ml plastic, it is nice were i live as i dont need a building permit, so if and when i find some money to build a small cabin for my self i dont have to buy the R2000 aproved 6ml plastic that is needed by code at 5 times the price, so many you tubers in your state that build do not put any at all, and man the drafts they will have, as i talk in my videos i broke my back at work in 1987 and got married in 1998 to a cheating gold digger, she broke in an flooded my old mobile home and insurance cut me a check for the write off of the home for 56k being we were still in court, she got a court order to hand over the check to her, i could go on, but some is in my videos but a lot more will be out later, the floors have broken though, walls pushed out, and in this 30 below it is like having the doors an windows open, before you put sheet rock on be sure to seal the plastic to the floor at the wall plates with that black acoustic sealer, the draft that comes from there is bad, if not sealed to the floor at stud, it is code here to seal it there and window framing .... also the packing tape is good for short term but it degrades in less then a year, for me any way, so be sure to get the red tuk tape before sheet rock.. i have to keep adding more as it brakes a part were i have taped plastic over all the areas were the walls an floor are broken open from the flood and left to freeze up, every day i am putting more plastic and packing tape, it also loss its sticky, and if you dont put the nolded plastic electrical box shells the draft that comes out of the out side wall boxs, i burn 130$ fire wood a week trying to keep it above 40 drg

@richardjones5255
@richardjones5255 4 года назад
The more recent types of sticky tape could be better. However, my experience was that many sticky tapes age quickly. The glue stopped sticking and went brown and brittle. Perhaps next year before you come to the sheet rock (plaster board where I live) you should check how well the tape is hanging in there before you finally seal it away for good. I have seen some tapes in warmer areas, (remember heat rises) fail after a perhaps 6~12 months. Condensation and humidity accelerated the glue deterioration.

You installed your vapor barrier improperly. You have faced insulation which is the vapor barrier. You are going to get condensation between the plastic and the kraft paper on the insulation. Then mold

That leak may keep the water from freezing again - moving water is harder to freeze.

you be supersized how much water is lost in 24 hours from that small leak, i have to keep my taps dripping 24/7 so they dont freeze up al winter, and the water i go though is unreal, but my well is good, but not to flood my septic i have them drain out back, and it is a huge skating rink already, there best bet being that area warms up a lot, unlike here were it stays 30 to 40 below all winter, is for them to put rocks on the wood stove and put them by the pipes and cover with insulation an plastic on below freezing days/nights

If my plans go correctly we will be living in a used RV till we can get the house built and livable starting in early spring and with God's help it will be done before winter sets in....it may be tight living payday to payday doing what we can when we can I already expect maybe part of the first winter still being in the RV but it'll be warm but I understand trying to do something on a tight budget I've seen other people using the dollar store packing tape for their vapor barror I'm guessing it'll work fine

I lived in Sonoma county, and the rain is none stope for weeks. We had so many fire hit our town and burn so many of our homes that the rain is making it so dangerous. Most of our creek and river,! are flooded also. You have a beautiful family.

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving These bricks build heat and can handle it. They radiate heat a long time as a buffer, while the logs die out. Buy like 5 stack em close and do a test.

Why do you not stop the watertank completely into the ground. The water freezes more slowly.

How much of a difference have y'all noticed with the vapor barrier? I would think it would help a lot. I imagine it will make wiring a tad more difficult though, but likely worth it. Jules did have a great idea for the frozen pipe. Great job!
