My first SOLO cabin build! Join me for the fun, food, fire, and HARD WORK as I build a remote, off-grid, A-Frame cabin in 23 days. My building site was only accessible by ATV and while building I lived in a tent. My trusty dog Maysie/Daisy, an 8 year-old collie, was my only help and companion. (AKA Da WOOF!)
Was it worth it?
Oh yeah. AND I got Rumours on the record player.

I love that you do not edit out your errors, missteps or the other little occurrences that come with such a project. It would be so easy to put out an edited "See, wasn't that easy" video, rather than a realistic example of just how projects go sometimes. No matter how well planned your probably going to ride the struggle bus here and there. Great content.

I was a rigger. Your door problem is because the lift point has to be directly above the door or back some from the front point. As you lift the door higher with your system, your pulling it forward not vertical. Two poles mounted into deck with cross beam above it would work and eliminate the poles in the view. I used to fabricate equipment etc. I do everything twice was one motto

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. "But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." (I Pet. 1:4) All believers must learn to patiently endure a world full of evil, evil that God does not send upon His children, but the enemy, who only comes to kill, steal and destroy. However God's Word teaches us how to take on and defeat our spiritual enemy, satan and his dark kingdom. You must be strong in the Lord and learn how to wear your spiritual armor, the Armor of God in Eph. 6. Wear it daily, and learn to use the sword of the spirit and the shield of faith. Ask for help in all these things from believers who are more mature and strong in the Faith of God, which is in Jesus Christ. This is how we have learned to survive and will be soon thriving.

​@@LigareRadix As a single off grid girl who continuously battles with the penises of the world trying to hold me back due to this kind of mentality, I personally love that this build did NOT include a man. No offence Dave, lol. If you were a true fan, you would understand this point she made. People like yourself seldom do though. Careful, your thinly veiled prejudice is showing. As a girl Becca, I would have expected more from you.

Love the riverside land and such a cute cabin. Got lots of respect for you, and the fact that you say your grace before dinner… 👌🏽💯🙂 You also did a phenomenal job editing what I would imagine to be a ton of footage. Filming and building at the same time is no easy task. I’ll have to check out more videos.

a tip to standing a wall a lone is to nail a board or 2 on the outside of the deck or floor, then it will hold it up while you nail or screw in place. lots of builders in my family... i never done it just watched it done. seem to work well. just thought food for thought on your next build. :)
