DIY Cabin! Start to Finish.

I built a cabin using mostly materials off of Craigslist/marketplace. Excluding the toilet it cost me around $12,000.
There are all kinds of methods and styles of building a cabin… this is the “build to what I find for cheap/free” method ;). That said, you can glean a lot of ideas from watching and asking questions…

This time with your kids can NOT be discounted. They will remember this cabin no matter where they end up in life. It's the gift you and their mother give to them.

Looks like alot of my cabins..I have cabins in the Adirondack Forest in New York, and the Shindagin Forest Finger Lakes New York and The Allegheny National Forest PA in Marienville..I rent them out on AIRBNB and Hipcamp..Got all my doors and windows from Facebook, and the lumber from the Amish..Finding cheap properties with the proper zoning where people want to camp in cabins was the hard part and took years to find, but makes a very good business..And allows me to hang out in some of my favorite forests..I do the East coast cause I do Florida for the winter..

That looks amazing, might I suggest you add a fan high up in the peak of the roof to help push warm air back down in the winter, it doesn't need to be a powerful one, just enough to circulate the air/heat arounf the room.

Holy Moose what a Cabin! The Cabin and this video are sure to make many fond memories with your family for the future to come. Projects like these are always pretty daunting to me, its a lot of work and time, and you have to know what you're doing for the work to really count, but the outcome can be something pretty awesome like what you have here. I'm just curious how much time do you think you put into working on this project, was it a lot of brainstorming and research? And was it mainly just yourself doing it along with your wife and kids? (Sorry in advance if you already put the amount of time somewhere)

@hobojordo 10 ай бұрын

I’m a big fan of just doing and learning as you go… There’s that old phrase in Russian that translates to some thing like the eyes are afraid, but the hands do. So just do it don’t be afraid to make mistakes and you will learn a ton as you go. I started this in December and finished it in June, but wasn’t working on it a lot of that time as we did some trips with the family and I had other things to do also…
