I built a Cabin in 2020 - Start to Finish 

I also turned a horse trailer into a mobile bar - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lw_tdVQJ8So.html

I love how there no intro, no talking, no fluff. He just gets right down to business. Love the video!!!

I don't know what's more impressive, the cabin or the fact that he found enough straight lumber in 2020 to build it.

My dad built my log cabin home 11 years ago and it is absolutely beautiful! He died this past October from cancer and every inch of my home reminds me of him and all his blood, sweat and tears he put into my home! I miss him so much!😢 I can afford and forever cherish this home only because of his sacrifices for me! Love you daddy! 💔

Can't wait to start building my own home. Your videos are inspirational. To everyone else: just keep in mind, a foundation carrys loads and spreads out that load enough, so the ground underneath can hold your building completely stable. These piers are probably big enough for this site, but make sure you do a little homework for your site and soil/ground types and size your foundation to your calcs, and to the climate of your land like frost lines, water run off and drainage etc. Design your own foundation with all the considerations required for your site.

I figured out how to change the batteries in my daughters favourite talking doll the other day. Felt pretty accomplished myself.

I've been building professionally for 10+ years and am a licensed contractor. I'm impressed. Some of these DIY cabin builds turn out like hot garbage burritos designed by a three year old Chihuahua. This was not one of those. I could nitpick a few things here and there, but you did a lot of important things right (flashed the hell out of doors and windows, decent roof details, etc). You'll have this cabin for a long time. Oh and I definitely noticed your carpentry skills improving throughout the build. You looked a bit tentative with the skill saw at first, but by the end you looked like an old salt.

The power of having a father who teaches his son such skills. Props Dad.

This is a 28 Minutes long Nailgun advertisement. Good job, looks amazing!

Big sigh of relief when he finally fastened the structure to the foundation halfway through the video 😅 amazing build.

Crazy just to think they did all of this in 28 minutes Bravo!

All these certified pros without channels of their own are really generous to spend their valuable time commenting.

Amazing that you did all of that work in 29 minutes. I may build one this weekend!

Yeezys seem like a vital part of his process

This man built a cabin in 28 minutes.. that’s insane.

As someone who owned a portable shed business and built portable sheds for a living for many years… I absolutely LOVED this video!

The only cabin builder that can get dirty while wearing Yeezy ultra boosts. Respect!

The height of the cabin you could almost have a floating ceiling with a bed. Imaging waking up in the morning with the view you created from having those large windows. The structure looked incredible at night with the low voltage lights. So many options, the build is excellent. Great work!

As a 65 year old contractor in the trades for over forty five years I respectfully take my hat off to you. Great job on the build and the video.

Dang, that's legit! A sliding glass door with a deck out back to grill out on would be the only change I would make. Amazing, quality work!!! So much attention to detail, and not cutting corners. 👍👍

I can imagine sitting in front of those windows curled up with a warm blanket, a cup of coffee and wood burning stove crackling away ahhhhhhhhh heaven.

Your cabin building series was the highlight of my year. When everything seemed bleak, dismal and terrible, I could look forward to your weekly video, building an awesome cabin, dispensing sage advice, and of course.... Some great dance moves. Thanks for all of it!!

I feel like he just woke up and decided to build a house one day

Nice video. I think it would be a great idea for you to add a "lessons learned" in regards to small and big errors and so on. I would have put flashing on the corners before the cedar went up. Also pre-paint most everything, then install. Even the plywood on the roof. Way easier. Fixed windows are fine if that's a design element you wish to have - I would have figured some opening or natural ventilation capability as well. Nice work.

Mad respect to the man who builds his own house

There's something so satisfying about watching a man work. You done an amazing job.

I just spent the last few days watching people build off grid cabins and it’s refreshing to see someone use proper building techniques and hardware. Good job man

They should do things like this in school. The whole class project for the year is to build a small house. Yano, actually learn something honest, practical and at the end you get a great sense of pride, satisfaction and independence when you look at something you actually helped build with your hands, your hard work and your determination. I realised that when I left school and University there wasn't much I could actually "do". I could sit an exam and ace it, but I couldn't really "do" anything. At least 50% of the time spent in school is a waste and could be put to better use. Instead we're content with churning out coddled minds that cant "do" anything.

For me the ideas in this book ru-vid.comUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH were a starting point for building three different sheds. Truini gives ideas that allow an individual to extrapolate into the design and building of his or her own shed. I especially enjoyed the treatment of building trusses and cedar dutch doors.

That turned out amazing and frankly far better than many jobs I've seen done by "contractors". You were going for "best that you could" and man you did well!

“Yeezys” the new and improved construction shoe

Nobody's talking about how he did it in the yeezy's though...

Wow, soo glad to see a build where the floor joist are actually on top of the ground posts and not just nailed on the side.

I love that the closed captioned says Applause when you’re nailing. I followed instructions and clapped for you.

I wanted to see it all done inside as well, decorated and everything 👀

He started in his Yeezys, thats how you know he tought of it and just decided to begin

Now here's a man who knows what he's doing. No dangerous shortcuts, no fumbling and bungling. Ignore the amateurs who post videos showing just how much they don't know.

This looks like a place I would live in for 1 to 2 decades without getting bored of it.

Didn’t realise this was a series till reading the comments. Going to have to go and binge watch them all now. Congratulations on such an incredible build and a brilliant video.

2020, the year where the cost to build this cabin is the same as the cost to build an entire house in 2019

That was AMAZING! As at least one other person mentioned, I have been a building professional for many years. You should be SO PROUD. I have seen supposed Pro’s do FAR less quality work. I have Never been able to find an affordable source for insulated window panels. I am going to build a smaller and not as nicely appointed off grid cabin on my property. I have been camping there when I have used the property. This will be easier than and eventually I will build my last house there. In the meantime be a treat to have, plus as you said about your cabin a nice guest quarters once I am living there.

Wow. This is incredible. So much respect for the hard work and patience that went in to this. You’re making me want to build my own cabin in the woods now

Was here like 2 min before and I said "yeah this guy knows what he's doing" love to see such a skilled craftsman

wait 80 years and itll be one of those creepy wood cabins perfectly made for horror movies. love it!

It's a great job.Buildings in American and European countries with few earthquakes have few pillars and are very simple, beautiful and stylish.In Japan, where there are many earthquakes, strong seismic strength is required, so I think the foundation and framework are very complicated.I want to make a small cottage by myself, but I am concerned about the strength, so I can only make small ones. I'm really looking forward to it.

This guy just proved that with dedication and determination and mistakes You can do anything easing that you put your mind to and then the experience will come. I always say it's better to try and fail than fail to try. And you succeeded excellent work love the build

How you managed to build that whole thing in 28 minutes is beyond me. Lol in all seriousness that came out awesome

The amount of labor that goes in is incredible. Hope the family/friends get to enjoy this for generations to come.

Dude you probably won’t read this but how inspiring. I’m a carpenter myself and want to do this so bad. I just need land first. Bravo

Inckredible. He worked alone most of time!!! This is a Man!!!

And here I am still trying to put my daughter's doll house together.

i love it when modern style is mixed with rustic!

When I’m 50, will do this for sure. Loved it!! It is sheer pleasure to witness this. Thank you guys ❤️

His reaction to the things working is wholesome

Man this hit differently without the dad jokes, dance moves, and sappy speeches. Gratz graham

No talking, just doing. Thanks for sharing.

It may not have been included in the condensed version, but you may want to install 1/8" square hardware cloth over your vapor barrier under the cabin. With just the insulation and plastic vapor barrier, you're inviting varmints to either live up there or rip it down and carry it away to their own nests.

I began to itch all over watching the the insulation install...

Can we get an update on your dog? Is he still sitting there with that pencil on his nose?!

He totally NAILED it 🙂

As a computer guy, I can just bow before that performance. You are very talented!

I can remember being upset when I would'nt get a weekly video of the build (selfish I know). I also know content creation can be a lot of work. But this honestly made me feel happy to watch. I sure am going to miss watching the cabin.

27:06 Very wholesome. His happiness is amplified by all the hard work he's put into building his cabin! That or he just really likes the lights lol

For someone who claims to have no prior experience, I'd say you did a bang up job

Absolutely epic. Inspired and motivated me to do my own this year. Thank you for taking the time to show your cabin project. 👍

Well done, best part was no mindless chatter. Thx!

This baby is lucky to have such a father

I dont think people appreciate the precision of all ur cuts and how perfect everything is ... good job man!

Pretty impressive for someone who has no experience!!! Incredible

Awesome work. Love the cabin!

Construction asmr. I love this. Beautiful work.

17:14 Legend has it, the dog is still waiting

Man, that is one sweet cabin. Congratulations on a fine build.

Been consuming many cabin and shed office builds. This is so impressive, matched by video production. Thank you for sharing! Subscribed

This is crazy he build this whole cabin in 30 MINUTES! You are a better man than me cause the siding would’ve been the stopping point for me.

3:10 - this is a man who is confident he knows the length of his nails

I've watched this 3 times, it's one of my favourite cabin build videos

For future reference I highly recommend not taping your horizontal bottom tyvek seams, this is where possible moisture exits.

I am impressed by genuine homesteaders who use old-world techniques and tools, buy raw land for pennies, build in a way that requires no zoning or permits (because of sq. footage and distance from property lines, etc), and source local materials to construct something that is actually in the middle of nowhere. Not people with six-figure budgets who buy high end lumber, have $60,000 in tools with them, and their barn or home is only a few yards away. This is more like a "cool factor" bachelor apartment than it is a legit cabin.

The production quality of this video just skyrocketed after the music hit. Impressive build, I wonder how he got the power to the cabin, I was kinda hoping it would have solar power but in a forest that's a challenge unless you have an open space nearby to put your panels.

I could totally live in this by myself with a dog all alone in the woods in a non depressing way 😅. Great craftsmanship! Looks fantastic!

Honestly…I would literally live in this, away from everyone and keep at peace Simple and clean ✨ Amazing job 🔥👍

Will have some major air vapour issues with no barrier and no air gap between shingles and building wrap. Also to improve passive ventilation you'd want operable windows on the high side. But still an amazing accomplishment. 👏

Probably the most inspiring thing I've seen come out of 2020!

- We need nails . + How many? - Yes.

Looking forward to the cost breakdown video. Will you also share your design (if it was your own) or where you found the design? I'd love to make something like this.

The subtle hammering shows integrity. It's how good houses are born.

I'm a builder and I give you 5 out of 5 stars, bro! Great video, great design but where the hell is the bathroom? Thumbs up and subbed!

For 3 decades I thought I was a MAN. Now I know where I stand ;) Great Job!

Truly impressive! Award winning as far as I'm concerned. Watched the whole thing and admired/enjoyed the heck out of it. Major props!

Amazed/Jealous of anyone who can create something like this. Fantastic job, impressive. 👍🏼

I always thought one should put the paper side of the insulation (the vapor barrier) towards the heated side of the wall/floor/ceiling so no moisture gets trapped in the insulation causing rot. But, outstanding job for DIY with just the help of a couple of friends/family members!

Great looking cabin. Only a few things crossed my mind: - the big windows don’t open. I could imagine a lot of issues with condensation - you’re solely relying on A/C when you could have an oven - a lot of space is unused by the high ceilings

When you discover how much a house cost these days and you think: fuck it I'll build it myself. Great work man!

Word of advice. In my opinion you can cut the sonotube a lot better if you raised the depth of the blade to the thickness of the tube. I feel like it cuts a bit easier and faster. 🙏🏾

That was so amazing man. Would love to see the interior finished and decorated.

Love how this man is working in Yeezy‘s lol

Windows probably cost more than the rest of the cabin 😂

Great build. Probably not gonna ever be a problem, but I would've used some conduit for those wires, but then again, I'm paranoid like that.

I love that you wear Yeezy's while you built this cabin! Love the videos on the cabin, got my whole family watching during Covid and Mom got me a shirt for XMAS!
