It's been a long time coming. We stumbled upon the opportunity to purchase this off grid cabin in remote northern Maine. This will be a huge project to improve the road and renovate the cabin inside and out.
In July, just before I bought the cabin I was hospitalized and diagnosed with diverticulitis and an intestinal abscess. This infection made me lose weight and strength and I'm still slowly recovering.

I found the chapters in ru-vid.comUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.

I think it’s wise to tear down the whole thing and start fresh. The amount of black mold on the walls is a concern for your own wellbeing. Start fresh free of the mold and you will live healthier in the long run. I am sure there are a few viewers who could support you and help you get the tools you need to build fresh. Hang in there and God will bless you abundantly in the coming weeks! Stay warm and safe. Love seeing Gracie resting in comfort! ❤

@briannagorman3119 9 месяцев назад

Tear it all down and start over with the help of your friends and supporters is a great idea.

@annhopper6959 9 месяцев назад

I like how you do your videos. Speed up through the boring parts but still showing it. Makes it far more interesting to watch. Good luck with your project!

@michaeladdington1447 5 месяцев назад

@raquelhernandez1733 9 месяцев назад

Well, is sad that the cabin wasn't what you hoped to be. But now you know that the future build will be safe to live in. There's going to be a lot of work, but you are a very determined young man, you can do it! Prayers are going your way to keep you safe and healthy so you can tackle this build with no issues.

@danixsathompson1625 9 месяцев назад

Sometimes taking a step back and starting over puts you ahead. Don't let it bring you down. You know your vision and all will be well. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey and especially including Gracie.

@cybersylo5786 9 месяцев назад

Good call on tearing the old building down. It looked like black mold and rot had reached almost everywhere. It will be interesting to see what kind of permanent foundation you use. I always go for concrete pylons, they last forever and won't rot.

@billsmith-wq5or 9 месяцев назад

Smart move keeping the structure beef up the floor rip everthing down to studs and now your good to go

@beebop4333 9 месяцев назад

SUGGESTION raise your new cabin incase that land ever floods. Nice vids. Becareful what nails u use on bridge as they can work free and pop your tires when you drive over them. Maybe use steel cables or heavy duty bolts. Youve given yourself the answer by pulling that house apart. Its saying, build new. You did your due diligence. Becareful w that mold around and Gracie even when burning it. Those spores are dangerous to you lungs and health. All the infestations, structural and moisture issues you uncovered gives you insight on how and what to do to make your new cabin better. If anything, leave it up, minus the mold, and use it as a wood shop, garage and tool storage as you build your new cabin.

@bobwarner6884 9 месяцев назад

You've got the structure , work with what you have. Beef it up

@heatherpettit9156 9 месяцев назад

Glad you have decided to start the build from scratch 👍 You’ve done a great job on the bridge it looks way safer.

@irenemeno3585 9 месяцев назад

Build a new cabin. I felt that from the beginning. It'll be so beautiful and made with love and quality materials. I know Gracie approves ❤💯👍🏼 my favorite time of year 🍃🍂🌲🍁🌲🍃🍂🌲🍁 🍁🍃🍂🌲

@michaelstewart8806 9 месяцев назад

I think about you everyday and wonder how you're doing. I say a little prayer for you telling the good Lord to watch over you. Glad you can keep your appartment, another worry off your list. I'm like you, I do everything myself. God Bless you both and stay safe. 👍

Building a cabin your way would have to be better for your spirit than contending with trying to figure out what the previous owners did - or why - at least you will have a clear picture of your goals and the challenges along the way. Godspeed...

You have to make the decision as to starting over or not. Get the advice from your fellow builders and them make decision. Pray on it God will show you the way. Love the love between you and Gracie. She is wonderful. God Bless you both.❤❤❤❤❤

@elmermason9685 9 месяцев назад

I think that is a smart move tearing that one down and starting new. You would be spending too much money in repairs. You know the saying, if you're gonna do it, you may as well do it right. Looking forward to your new build. Wish I was there to help you. Good luck with everything.

@rosmonk6836 Месяц назад

Good on you Cory. You’ve done a great job so far either this worthwhile project. Jesus will always be with you & Gracie. Your determination & work ethic is commendable. Be proud of the way you carry yourself, & you’re never afraid to show your faith. Bless you my brother in Christ 🤗🙏

@nickischwab205 9 месяцев назад

I'm so sorry your cabin turned out to be such a problem. One door closes and a much better one will open!! My heart goes out to you for all the hard work and extra effort you put into. Your new construction will be 100 times better. I will be watching your videos as everything starts to come together. You sounded so frustrated. Chin up young man.....I know you can do it!!!

Nothing there to salvage! I like how you burn down a house, board by board. I’m sure your new build will be wonderful, done to proper code, with big windows to see the forest from inside! You certainly are a relentless worker.

@jodyprivee2774 9 месяцев назад

So glad to know that you are tearing down the cabin...smart, smart decision.I admit to wringing my hand a bit over that one lol I was talking to my TV saying to you, " tear it down!" 😅

@marinkomijatovic7674 9 месяцев назад

Good choice I totally agree with you !!! 👍👍

@jor4288 9 месяцев назад

You'll get to feeling better, Cory. I'll be visiting your Amazon store to buy someone a Christmas gift.

@douglasbusse4102 9 месяцев назад

Surly in the end you will be glad. A lot of hard work so far but the decision you made will be for the best. God bless as you go forward.

@gerdriechers8426 9 месяцев назад

Heads up! You did a great job so far. Build your own dream cabin from the ground up. God will lead you. Trust in him. He already sent you Gracy so there is a beam of light with you every day. Thank you for you videos. God bless you and Gracy!

@TheJimcrooks800 9 месяцев назад

SO relieved for you Cory. But what a phenomenal amount of work to arrive at the final conclusion. But we know that what you will do with a new cabin build will be phenomenal - and built with a view to last. The quality will be outstanding we've no doubt. So glad to see your journey with this and I only wish that I could financially support this initiative because I believe in you brother. Praying that all will go well as you live out your life before us.

@roaming4adventure-nt8yz 9 месяцев назад

Hey Corey it stinks that things turned out the way they did. But honestly if you are going to be living there and looking big picture it's the best decision. One thing is you have some options now, is that exactly where you would put it? Better view of things maybe? Maybe set something up where folks could help out with some of the funding if they wanted. Lots of people love what you're doing! ❤

@natej6671 9 месяцев назад

Starting a new build may or may not be cheaper, but its faster and gives you a better sense for what you're doing and where the end of the road is. But I would not demo the old cabin yet. It would serve as a good storage area for material and a work station when its too wet or too hot. At the very least it gives you a place to put your tools.

@Kbrusky15 9 месяцев назад

The shot of Gracie in the truck after you told her not to come over to you while dumping the gravel. 🤣 I'm really excited to see where you get with this property! The hard work/blood/tears will all be worth it in the end.

@northernhappiness7499 9 месяцев назад

Something new is on the horizon for you and Grace . I believe you stumbled upon the deepening truth that you MUST start a new. Cabin build maybe..? Peace and God he w you always brother.

What was that lizard thing with yellow dots?????? That thing was nothing i have seen. I am sorry you found all that mold, ants & mice. Building from ground up, i know what your finished product will look awesome!!!

@koningbolo4700 9 месяцев назад

An idea (maybe for future) is one I got from a Czech wild water club which is to use an old semi trailer chassis as the base for a bridge like yours.

@atlantianson515 8 месяцев назад

If anyone can start this from scratch and rebuild a dream cottage, it is you! Good Luck, be careful, and looking forward to seeing the finished cottage!

@stephengagnon4714 9 месяцев назад

Use Vinegar and water to kill the black mold it works fast and paint or spray mildew proof in studs works great

@Liveoutsidetheboxlife 9 месяцев назад

I vote start from scratch that black mold is not a good sign.

@Chris_at_Home 9 месяцев назад

Nothing will ever be right with the non standard construction either.

@nancyholm2995 9 месяцев назад

Use the cabin as a barn or storage area. It’s amazing to see an old camp cabin built with whatever’s available. All that linoleum! Wow! Very hard work! But as you said. The location is what you bought. I look forward to seeing what you create!

@Chris_at_Home 9 месяцев назад

@@nancyholm2995 He said he had to get a permit to build a new place there might not be an option for a second building. I don’t know if he owns the land or leases it. People lease land in Maine from the logging companies that own very large tracks of land. You can get long term leases with conditions.

@clarivelmateo7752 9 месяцев назад

❤❤❤NEVER ever lose hope... there are lot of things you can do to your property.. start from the scratch...and always think POSITIVE .. like you've said you never bought the property because of the location.. not the cabin itself... NEVER LOSE HOPE.. just do your thing slowly so that it won't affect you health condition...if I am just located in Maine I will definitely help you build your dream cabin...💯💪💪💪.. just build a temporary house for you and your dog ..once it's built then make a decision ... ❤❤❤❤❤

@MsCar2008 6 месяцев назад

I understand your drive to finish a phase , but the physical price paid can set you back , especially with winter coming . Wishing you good health , complete recovery and a completed project that makes your heart happy !

@jansmith3158 9 месяцев назад

On the bottom of your floor joinces (outside part near the ground) staple metal screening (at most building supply big box stores) so that the mice from getting in the cabin from underneath. This is what professionals builders do in German with cabin builds. This will prevent other larger animals too from biting into the floor ply wood and getting into the home.

@spennykcn 9 месяцев назад

I’m still really fascinated by the metal structure in the bridge. As for the camp, it’s going to be a short term pita, but will pay off by having a cleaner safer structure just the way you want it.

@LindaDuval-ud7jg 9 месяцев назад

So much work but take it one step at a time you will be happy when you can sit on your front porch and look back. You are such a hard worker and you and Gracie girl will prevail

@melian.7668 4 месяца назад

hi, I`m 48 years old woman from the east of germany i like your videos.I hope you and Gracy find the right way to start new at this place, sorry for the old rotten cabin and your hard work.But a new beginning with a new cabin is better and you can say " it`s my cabin. There is so much wonderfull nature arround you to life your dreams, get better health, having fun with Gracy. God bless you two

@alext. 9 месяцев назад

As you've said, it's one beautiful piece of land, a great location. I'm sure you'll do what needs to be done in order to get that place the way you and God want it to be. I'm pretty sure Gracie is in full agreement, lol. God bless you, young man. If something you want done gets done, it's obviously because you're a dog to work and you have a faith life; hard to find a more hard-working young man. He'll give you the desires f your heart. Thanks for having us join you when you can. Love it.

@rw7247 9 месяцев назад

When you rebuild you should check out the boss of the swamp he's in New Hampshire and when he builds a camp he puts bubble foil on the joist then plwoods over it he has a video of how he does it and skirts the caribou and can walk around in the winter barefoot and the floor is warm worth checking out at least

@koningbolo4700 9 месяцев назад

Some of the old floor covering products were made with asbestos in them. I am an apartment manager and more than once I have had floor installers refuse to tear out the old flooring because of asbestos concerns. They do however cover the old flooring with thin plywood sheeting and then lay the old floor over that.
