The finished project is rewarding

I bet not many can have the audacity of building their houses on their own,,

That is exactly what I was thinking. People do not appreciate how much work that it.

We didn't have to clear land to do it but my husband built our home also 😊 He's smart and skilled!

He just built a house, he's a builder - there is nothing here which suggests he's a good father or husband.

He sacrificed a lot of personal time to build his family a home as he was doing this while he wasn't working. He's also quite humble and honest about the mistakes he has made in his life. I would say that qualifies him to be called a good husband and father.

I'm single and can build and fix stuff..Montana here we come lol

Amen

@Happy Arnold Don't call everyone who disagrees with your opinion a hater or other childish names. Learn to think outside the box, don't be a sheep. The man could very well be an amazing husband/father/brother/son/friend, but building a house doesn't make it a home. Go ponder over that.

Solar Panels in that climate....😂 Damn you go gurl.

Param Drall yeah coz they’re not working at all aye 🤦‍♂️ smh

@@paramdrall You do know that solar panels just need light, right?

And small wind turbines

@@lau6438 Solar panels produce energy even under cloud cover. If you buy enough you will always have power. As long as there is light they are producing power

I'll bet the interior will take at least 12:00 minutes.

I wonder how many diamond axes he had to make to get that much wood

My aunties brothers sons dad had a friend who built a house in 8

its a time lapse you doof this is an r/whoosh trap enjoy the whooshery

@@sparkplug8763 they know they are being sarcastic XDXD

Thank you!

Amen, nailed that comment

Excuse I Am danger no bullshit you don't know what my life is but what about you danger??

What kind of people are in danger of extinction? People who go rogue away from society?

He had plenty of help in the beginning. With experience, power tools, and having everything pre-cut, it’s quite simple, really. Just labor- intensive, of course. A real challenge is building a log cabin 100% by yourself, getting every single resource from the land and earth upon which you build your cabin, and utilizing said resources with hand tools and very limited experience as far as construction goes.

My uncle has built 2 houses with very little help

Amen, you got my heart in my throat.. Kudos...I am in the process of bringing back to life an old homestead...so excited. You inspire me! Thank you for posting this and all the wonderful comments of support!

@@djxkoxxf6898 we would love to see you build, not something like this, but just half of this homestead, all alone with a little help in levelling the ground. Would you do that?

It's very very common for builders to work alone. Filming it for self publishing is relatively new.

Hi

I like the narration as much S the build. He should do audio books. I would buy them all. Love this story, the American dream for sure. Not too many people have the tenacity to follow their dream like these people. Totally amazing story from beginning to end.

Thank your or the kind words.

Exactly my thoughts!!

May I ask you is it u watch

It's probably a lot wetter there than here.

Well is just more north america, you remember what happen to people in Mexico during the earthquake? Well lots of people trapped in tons of cement, actually houses of wood are very durable very comfortables very easy to repair

The thing is we don't get earthquake's in most of Europe and wood is more expensive than brick and mortar.. But it's changing.

We do have lots of trees, lots and lots of trees in a lot of the country. That may be why we build so much out of wood. Is it also faster than building with brick?

kcanded No I think it's slower as you need to allow a fair bit of time for the mortar/concrete to set.

If I could find the start I would

Thank you!

@petr riHA someones salty they dont live in america. this man just lived the american dream my guy.

i mean my guy i understand completely just fine that you're upset you cant build a house like this guy. you also should understand that people have other professions.

That is a wonderful way of looking at something. It is a nice encouragement for life itself.

@@nursebennie3256 every day life gets shorter too. Like they say you start dying the minute you are born.

Hi

Thomas Russell 671 days in 9 mins .. great work

Ruby Sage It is hard when you have other stuff to do. If I devote my life to growing food, then I won’t have time to do anything productive. Civilization evolved when people could be fed without having to spend 15 hours out in the fields tending to the crops or the cattle. That way, people had time to become artisans, doctors, scientists, priests, etc. That’s how the first civilization was created.

Take a holiday in the summer.

Thank you!

People lighten up. It was a funny comment, nothing more, nothing less.

kimmyjeans2 thank you!

Have you ever heard of punctuation?

Totally agree. This is a story that will keep passing on through generations. And what sense of pride the kids must feel.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Prophet of Doom Aren't most prophets prophets of doom?;)

This is true... But I wanted to take the guess work out of it. haha

Prophet of Doom When I build my place I'm gonna call it "Fort Humanity, no gods allowed.."

If any of you are keen on leaving modern society (It's obviously fucked), then help me build a city at some sort of island or coastline. It will be based on something right out of the early 18th century, and there will only be "pre-industrial age" technology used. The town is to be built, inspired by Nassau or some other pirate colony in the 18th century Bahamas. Sadly, islands cost a lot of money, but if we are many, and we all sell our properties, it should be easy to afford the island/land and resources needed. I really don't think it should be a problem to sell your property and unnecessary belongings, if you were to leave modern society anyways. A couple of islands I have in mind are, Matana South seas plantation, Igoigori Island and Pitcairn. The last one mentioned is quite interesting as every single new inhabitant there receives a free plot of land to build on. Sadly, there a few inhabitants already there, but we can work around that. There are also some coastal areas that could be used. Maybe something on the southern end of New Guinea. Too be honest coastal areas are the most likely outcome and probably the outcome that would yield the best result. Remember that if one person gets a couple followers those followers might also get some, and then we have a chain reaction. This is possible guys. If you are interested, then like my comment so other people can see that you are interested. Contact me on email: emiladefoged@gmail.com

Thanks!

Cool! Please make a video, or something, I would love to see it. And good luck to you as well.

Agreed!
