In this video I build a 12x16 off grid cabin in the woods . a great nature viewing cabin with lots of windows.I built this cabin with mostly rough sawn lumber , and discounted and second hand materials. this project took about a month to build , including restoring the wood stove and filming everything . the cost was about $4,500. I saved a lot of money buying all the windows second hand , the door was free . Another way I saved money was using rough sawn lumber from the amish to frame the walls and side the exterior. the wood stove was one we bought second hand as well , it was in rough shape but I restored it . And one last money saving was I found a place that sold cabin grade tongue and groove pine at a discounted price . Check out this playlist for the entire series on this cabin • cozy off grid cabin se...

I've never built anything bigger than a bird house, and that was many years ago, yet here I am in my 50's building a small cabin, alone, on the side of a mountain, in a rainforest, on a small island in the Caribbean.

I have a small farm, and it's an off grid type cabin before i begin construction on my small stone cottage, the main structure to go on my farm.

It's nearing the end of August and i'm in full summer mode but for these 35 minutes, I forgot all of that. When I looked out my window, I was surprised to not see snow on the ground or dead leaves. Excellent filming.

The exact build I want to go for this summer. Not as fancy as your of course. I just need a unibomber shack. I love the use of old doors for those big windows. Thanks!

LOL haven't heard the unibomer shack reference in a while . yeah they worked out great and only cost around 50 bucks.

That's so funny, I didn't even realize that was Dave in your video until half way through. That's awesome that you are brothers and are helping each other. I wish one day my brother and I can do the same...I've enjoyed both of your cabin builds! It's freeing to think that some day I can do the same - I have all the tools, but finding the land and time are a completely different issue.

This is just so perfect, imagine if we didn't have YT, back in the day this would be chronicled in 'nature' magazine or something and we'd get nowhere near the same relaxing experience watching this. Using your head and hands, building for a purpose, out in the beautiful woods, wonderful companion and amazing end result, what could be better really?

I really like all of that natural light. The one I built in 2003 had no windows except in the door and I saw that as a mistake that I never corrected. Has been used as a guest room many times over the years. If I build again I will use some ideas from you and your brother Dave.

Thanks! yeah it's not very nice hanging out in a windowless building . I've made plenty of mistakes too. My last house was a beautiful log house I only put one closet in the whole thing. didn't bother me at all when I was single .it was a bad design lol
