Full Off Grid Log Cabin Tour

Жыл бұрын

As of September 1, 2022, the cabin is finally dried in and I can mentally see the final home and how it's going to work for us. I explain the thinking behind the cabin location and orientation, how the rooms are laid out inside, what I'm using the loft space for, what additions and other buildings I'll be building alone in the near future and more.

When you make the benches for the dining area, build in storage space with lift-up tops. Your wife and daughters will thank you. A home, even a log home, can never have too much storage from a woman's point of view. You may not need it, but I would also consider making the bench tops extra wide and get extra padding (that you can store inside the benches) so that you can use the benches as emergency sleeping space if someone has to stay overnight due to a sudden storm, etc. You can store extra pads and throw pillows inside the benches and/or tack up extra padding on the logs that back the benches when they are being used for dining, working space or reading space, and they will make the extra wide benches comfortable as needed for guests. P.S. Why not add ventilation to the upper loft area? You may what to use that space some day for grandkids, etc. even if you and your wife don't use the space for yourselves. Perhaps you are thinking that family members in the future will build their own cabins on the land, but maybe some of them won't, maybe they'll just want to be guests occasionally.

Yes this is an excellent idea. Any space or furniture piece should be utilized as extra storage space for seasonal clothing, supplies, linens, etc. You never know if he becomes snowbound, so additional space for storing supplies, etc is always a must. Plus we women tend to have extra items that need space to stow makeup, toiletry items, more clothing, etc.

I watched the My Self Reliance vid first, then this one. I always enjoy hearing you talk about what you have done, and what is planned for the future. Having watched EVERY episode of the previous cabin/property build, and then the same with this property, I must say that it has been a monumental undertaking that would cause many men to quail in the face of the challenge! I could imagine how you were going to finish the inside, but it makes so much more sense to see and hear you describe it. What a wonderful homestead you are making for your family - best wishes in the continuance, and as always, stay safe! PS - I just turned 79, a year younger than your Dad. Grateful for every day of life!

Having cold spring water there is ideal. At our Elk camp in the Bob Marshall wilderness, we have a spring that runs right behind the cook tent. The water is probably the best, and cleanest water I've ever drank. Never treated, no hunters have had ailments since it was discovered in 1959. Everything is coming together very nicely. Well done, Shawn!

Shawn, I was watching a video the other day about Amish barn raising. They mentioned that when building the post & beam framework the timbers they use are still slightly green. One reason was that when pinning the joints together, the pins they use are completely dried & as the beams continue to dry & shrink they tighten even tighter around the already dried pins. Guess you learn something new every day. Have a great day 😊.

Shawn, I enjoy both your channels and appreciate you sharing your life experiences and wisdom. You mentioned in this video about how difficult it is to pound the pipe through the sand for your well. Just as an idea (which you probably thought of), what if you put a pointed metal tip on the pipe the same diameter of the pipe. Don't affix or screw this metal point but fit it so that it will stay on while you drive the pipe deeper without damaging the it. Once you reach the depth you need, put a smaller diameter pipe inside and drive the fitted metal point deeper; thus unplugging the well pipe. I am not sure if this makes sense, but thought I would throw out this idea. Take care.

You did an awesome job on this cabin. Have you considered making wooden panels to place over your windows and that glass by the door?...on the outside that can be locked down? I've seen where bears have broken a glass, come in and ransacked places. Just something that's fits over the glass for days you might ride into town or just be away...or while sleeping at night.

I recommend a natural oil to seal the flooring, boiled linseed oil or a tung oil. Did tung oil on my white oak flooring in my loft and it holds up great, easy to sand an area and apply more as needed but blends in well.

Has anyone used HOT linseed oil? I've applied it, and it goes down fast if you're not wanting a gloss, but I've never seen it later on. It was just another job. (Fill insulated bucket with hot oil from the truck. Go to where they tell me. Slop oil on the newly laid wood floor as quickly as I can without missing a spot. Go back in and apply a second coat. Report any gaps in the new flooring or loose spots if the job was parquet.)

I like your breezeway plan. My Grandpa built his house in the 30's and although he put in a formal front door and porch like you it was almost never used. The "kitchen" door was put in just like you at 3' below the main floor level with a landing, up to the kitchen down to the cellar. Being farmers tracking in stuff was a problem. He had a shower and wash area in the cellar so he could clean up before going into the main house.

I'd invest in soapstone for the flooring, side (by the desk), & back wall of the woodstove, just to be able to have it absorb and then re-radiate heat overnight so you don't have to wake up & reignite a fire in the stove in the middle of the night. Soapstone can absorb quite a lot of heat, and radiates it back low & slow over time.

This new Generation is nothing compared to you - not in their Spirit and not in their mental Level, neither in anything that could get a bit of near what you are as a human Soul on this World. You are showing what living and what WILL in life is all about, and what itcan move, if someone (like you) brings up the strength, effort, WILL and Love and about what is important to someone on this World.

Thanks for the cabin tour Shawn. I think it'd be cool to put a screened in gazebo by that small waterfall you talked about. It'd make a great place to sleep in the heat of the summer. The waterfall would lull me to sleep. Anyway, Looking forward for the future projects you talked about.

Oh wow! What a grand idea....here in the Deep South of the US, my great-grandmothers home had a huge 3- season porch (half wall with operable windows in the top half) with a queen sized bed that we kids fought over to sleep out there. There was zero insulation so wintertime was tough but it was so cool in the sling and fall with the windows open and the screens kept the mosquitos away. Ahh--good memories. Thanks George.

Incredible Shawn. Been watching you for years, since midway through the first cabin. You've truly outdone yourself with this one. I'll join you one day in the lifestyle, also a metal worker myself. Give Cali a treat for me, she's such a good pup.
