In this weeks episode we start an exciting project turning an awesome kit-set cabin into the ultimate modern, off-grid getaway! To find out more about these cabins, visit: www.palmako.ee/en-us/houses?u...
You can find Palmako kit-set cabins all over the globe! Find your local distributor here: www.palmako.ee/en/find-your-n...
There's nothing quite like a cozy cabin. In fact, when I think of simple, close to nature human shelter the cabin is one of the first things that comes to mind. In this episode, we are building our own dream getaway cabin using the Palmako kit-set as a base and then adding onto it to take this cabin to the next level!
In this first video, we cover the site preparation, the foundations as well as the construction of the kit-set cabin itself! Built from beautiful nordic spruce timber, these kit-set log cabins are quick and simple to construct and the result is very impressive!
I want to say a huge thank-you to Palmako and their local NZ distributor, Trade Tested (www.tradetested.co.nz/c/sheds... ) for supporting this project and helping to make what we do possible.

The wood comes from Estonia? Shipped halfway around the globe to make a nice, sustainable cabin? Am I the only one who finds this a bit weird? 🤔

Keep going, you are a true hero for the younger generation, small houses will be the future for those who cannot afford a regular overpriced home

I know you're skilled. Even so, the closeness of the cabin to the gully edge makes me nervous as I'm from a place known for landslides.

Another Canadian here. This looks like a really cool cabin. However it is not a log cabin. Log cabins are made of logs. Which are round. This could be called a timber cabin. Sorry to be a pick-ass but really it would be like calling a house with 2000 square feet a tiny house.

Beautiful location, what an exciting build! The closeness to the gully terrifies me especially with how natural disasters and climate are getting wilder and less predictable, but I realize the builders know their locality best.

Thank you Bryce! I live in Canada and have been thinking about building a small house for a long time. Will you come to film a few episodes in North America one day?)))

Foundation: wood in the ground? Emmm, oops!

I don’t think I've ever seen you so excited!

When I can't sleep I design log cabins in my mind...from modern designs to very traditional....one room with a bed, kitchen with table and chairs. And of course a loft bedroom for the boy!

The vegetation in that gully looks positively prehistoric. I love it! Looking forward to part 2.

Bryce, I have been waiting to see you build one of our cabin kits for years now. All of the things you did along the way and how you explained the reasons for your choices based on the particular nature of the cabin itself were absolutely Perfect!

This is so awesome! When I was younger, every time we went to a garden center or hardware/home improvement store, I would go out to look at the ‘sheds’ or ‘garden houses’ they had and imagined what it would be like as a tiny house 😊 You’re now pretty much realizing that ‘fantasy’ I always had 😃 Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Back in the 70s, when I was a preteen on Vancouver Island, Canada, my family bought a "Panabode" double garage kit. Incredibly similar building process to what you have done here, but on a slab. We put patio windows in where the garage doors would have been, to get a view of the ocean and access to an added deck, and added a few interior walls to divide the space (bathroom, tiny bunkroom, open kitchen/living area). Oh, and a back door.

A solution to the housing crisis. A quality home built in such a sort time... let's hope this type of housing takes off. Great job

This video brought back memories. Thirty years ago my husband and I built a three bedroom log house from triple tongue- and-groove 10” round logs. Because we are in Canada, we put foam insulation strips between each log (inside the grooves) to draft proof for winter.

Been watching your vids since i was 17, until now that im 22, ive always wanted to build my own tiny house, youve been a great inspiration bryce, ❤

I have been following your channel for many years and one thing I have noticed is the pride I see on the faces of those who have put a lot of effort into the design and build process, the people who did everything they were capable of. I'm glad to see you involved with the build. Can't wait to see more. BTW, that leather hat looks good on you.

Hey. I have been following your channel and videos for years and years. And now halfway through this video I hear the name of my country, I was surprised that this house comes from my country to yours. Thank you for mentioning where the house is from ☺️👌
