День тому

Off grid cabin build in the woods... A simple hammer and a few basic hand tools were used to complete our 12' x 16' mountain cabin and large 12' x 20' deck. I built this cabin alone beginning on my 60th birthday over a period of 6 months to full completion of the build. Also... Kitchen, bath, bedroom cabin additions will be added...

Sir - When you said... "On my 60th Birthday", a rush of Hope and Inspiration came to me. I've always wanted to do what you and your wife have accomplished. I will begin in the coming year to hopefully make our dream a reality as well. Great job! Thank You and Bless you and family.

One of many of my observations; I have noticed is that When I have seen Farmers build a Cabin, they all do it almost perfectly! I Loved this Video! At my age of 73. Seeing a 60 year old man build a Superb Cabin, is showing that at even in your older years, it can be done! Thank You!

As an experienced -yet- aging general contractor, I gotta say, my elbow hurts watching you swing that hickory handle framing hammer. I’m impressed with hand nailing everything. And Larry Haun would be proud.

As someone who has never swung a hammer and only used hobby air tools, does hammer type matter?

@billmacmillan5373 17 днів тому
@@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work. modern tradesman don’t face nail much of anything anymore but it’s fun to watch someone do it the old way.

My father my brother and I built 4 dugouts on our 500 + acres and we rent them out for three months out of the winter to out of state hunters. Each dugout has a wood stove and compost toilet and sleeps 4 people comfortably. It took years to kinda catch on but now I make 400 dollars a week per person. Four wheelers and side by sides are available for extra price. They are very nice and taken care of... I even lived in the first one we built for over 3 months.

Building a 10 X 16 off grid cabin my self. I am not a trained builder but I did get help from my friend who is. He kept me out of making big mistakes. I am 67 he is 73. Do not let age stop you. We go slower than we used to but that all part of the fun.

keeps a body and mind YOUNG, to do this!! Nice hammerwork! Great attitude, too. 73-here, just finished self-building my 7th ECOhome. After the catamaran :-) Whewwwww...the dreams NEVER stop. May I suggest for anyone thinking of doing this, to FIRST plant some fruit trees. No reason to wait, right?! :-) Sempre avanti.... (now I offer FREE Plans for anyone willing to self-build, cause in 2024 there is NO other way) Say...that IS DF or SYP wood, right? Too-bad its NOT 2x6. BIG difference.

For our instance the bubble wrap was enough since we live in a mild climate. If you live in a cold climate however, full insulation would be advisable.
