Off Grid Tiny Cabin- FINISHED!
Переглядів 3,336,082
3 роки томуThe tiny off-grid cabin my husband Dave and I built is finally done! Yip yip! After finishing the shell in about 8 days, Dave let me loose on the interior to finish it all. It was a big job- but a great learning experience. I had helped him on many of our log homes and cabin in the past but I was on my own on this one. Don't let lack of experience prevent you from DOING and TRYING! You'll learn as you go- just do it! I LOVE the way it turned out and will now take a couple days off to enjoy this little gem with my feet up and fire roaring!
Hope you enjoy and are inspired to build a cabin of your own!

The lights are powered by a portable power station that can be charged by solar. We will be adding solar to this cabin in the near future. You COULD live in a cabin this size.... we lived in a 12x12 off grid cabin for 2 years- and 6 months was with a baby. We will use cots to overnight but you could do a fold down bed like my table as well. As for bathing and cooking- just add in a tiny bar sink that drains into a bucket underneath the "kitchen" shelf- or just use a bucket. Also, buy a large kettle/pot for kettle baths. We lived for 10 years without running water in cabins- hauling our water 5 gallons at a time for cooking, drinking, cleaning, and bathing. It is possible. BASIC necessities.... that's all you need to live FREE! Thanks for watching the video everyone! Now who wants to build one?

My twenty year old daughter (after I told her about this video) said that she wished had been born in the past when you did manual labor and felt good that you accomplished important things. I sent your reply to her to show her she COULD choose to do that now. I’ll bet it would cure a lot of people’s anxiety and depression to live this way - simpler, but with a healthy set of friendships!

Keep design of a cabin simple to minimize cutting, especially of outer walls. Plywood comes in 4' x 8' sheets, so dimension your structure in 4' increments. 8' x 8', 12' x 16', etc. Take care of your back. Some materials are heavy. Full sheets of plywood weigh about 100 pounds per inch of thickness. That means 0.50" thickness sheets weigh 50 pounds, and 0.75" thickness sheets weigh 75 pounds. Don't overestimate your abilities with other lumber pieces either. Take it from someone who knows, if you hurt your back you could be permanently screwed. Shoulders too. I've had all those surgeries among other orthopedic ones and none of it's fun. Not fun to injure, and not fun to fix.

I have a trick to share with you and other DIYers about the doorway threshold. You cut the 1 by wood the width of the doorway opening. Then, do not nail it in. Instead, use two or three hinges to install it so that threshold flips outward so you sweep the dirt right out the doorway. Come on, that's genius and it works. I used a piano hinge on mine. 👍🏻🇺🇸

I am older now and I have quite a few health problems. My Daddy taught me how to build or fix about anything. I wish I was in better health. For now, I will kick back with my granddaughter and my little dogs and just enjoy yours and Dave's videos. I also can live off the land if I had too, without an outside potty and all. Nature and it's natural beauty is such an amazing and worth while place to be! Thank you for you and your wonderful hubby sharing your adventures. Also your beautiful animals.

I grew up in Minnesota but moved to West Michigan three years ago partly because of two trips we took to MI when I was a kid. I like the slightly different wildlife, the fruit farms and of course Lake Michigan.

I've watched both documentaries about this lovely tiny cabin a few times. It makes me homesick for the wilds of Canada (though I know you're in the US). It also allows me to daydream about one day... Well-done, you two.

Michiganders are hearty people use to hard work and not afraid to get dirt on their hands. I use to do a great deal of work until I was diagnosed with asthma now I'm supervisor and designer. We restored three Victorians and built/restored three cabins in the last 20 years, one cabin was in Arizona and the other two cabins are in Michigan.

Thirty-five years ago I was graduating from U-M and looking for work in California. A executive overheard my discussing job prospects with a friend and chimed in saying: “both coasts fight over people from Michigan because we know they’ll do the work.” Your comment reminded me of something I’ve never forgotten. BTW, I stayed in Michigan and now live near here on a gorgeous lake

I watched this get built. Never really saw the finished inside, thank you for showing this. It is a beautiful cozy cabin indeed. It's a shame such cabins can't be built and placed in places for the homeless or for anyone who chooses to live a more simple life. So many restrictions every where it's a wonder you can even have this on your own land. Love it, just seeing it makes me want to read a book and relax ......

Hello Brooke. I just finished watching Radical Bushman. It's an eye opener how easy you made it look to build this cabin. Now I have a pretty good idea of what to help my Uncle build. Thank you. You guys are awesome.
