My father my brother and I built 4 dugouts on our 500 + acres and we rent them out for three months out of the winter to out of state hunters. Each dugout has a wood stove and compost toilet and sleeps 4 people comfortably. It took years to kinda catch on but now I make 400 dollars a week per person. Four wheelers and side by sides are available for extra price. They are very nice and taken care of... I even lived in the first one we built for over 3 months.

@@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work. modern tradesman don’t face nail much of anything anymore but it’s fun to watch someone do it the old way.

One of many of my observations; I have noticed is that When I have seen Farmers build a Cabin, they all do it almost perfectly! I Loved this Video! At my age of 73. Seeing a 60 year old man build a Superb Cabin, is showing that at even in your older years, it can be done! Thank You!

Thank you for confirming what I been thinking about doing when I build my cabin next spring and That is putting the bubble foil down over the floor joist before the plywood. I've never seen it done before and was going to do it anyway! great build and video!

@offgridchallenge 8 ай бұрын

For our instance the bubble wrap was enough since we live in a mild climate. If you live in a cold climate however, full insulation would be advisable.

@bradp2772 8 ай бұрын

I'd love to see him do that plus add insulation and a plastic moisture barrier....😮 to the bottom side of the subfloor. Because of course you would cover the bottom of the cabin to keep the critters out!

@@offgridchallengeI’m building one very similar … 10x20 .. we built to 10x10 walls and covered them with plywood … painted it and then laid them down and tied them together and filled the floor with styrofoam recycled from another project .. then built the walls similar to yours …

I salute you for this incredible achievement, especially at 60 (though 60 isn't old). It's quite an age difference from my 37 years. Many of us younger folks might shy away from such a project, feeling incompetent, but you're proving that anything is possible and that age is truly just a number.
