The tiny off-grid cabin my husband Dave and I built is finally done! Yip yip! After finishing the shell in about 8 days, Dave let me loose on the interior to finish it all. It was a big job- but a great learning experience. I had helped him on many of our log homes and cabin in the past but I was on my own on this one. Don't let lack of experience prevent you from DOING and TRYING! You'll learn as you go- just do it! I LOVE the way it turned out and will now take a couple days off to enjoy this little gem with my feet up and fire roaring!

Hope you enjoy and are inspired to build a cabin of your own!

  • The lights are powered by a portable power station that can be charged by solar. We will be adding solar to this cabin in the near future. You COULD live in a cabin this size.... we lived in a 12x12 off grid cabin for 2 years- and 6 months was with a baby. We will use cots to overnight but you could do a fold down bed like my table as well. As for bathing and cooking- just add in a tiny bar sink that drains into a bucket underneath the "kitchen" shelf- or just use a bucket. Also, buy a large kettle/pot for kettle baths. We lived for 10 years without running water in cabins- hauling our water 5 gallons at a time for cooking, drinking, cleaning, and bathing. It is possible. BASIC necessities.... that's all you need to live FREE! Thanks for watching the video everyone! Now who wants to build one?

    My twenty year old daughter (after I told her about this video) said that she wished had been born in the past when you did manual labor and felt good that you accomplished important things. I sent your reply to her to show her she COULD choose to do that now. I’ll bet it would cure a lot of people’s anxiety and depression to live this way - simpler, but with a healthy set of friendships!

    You're richer than most millionaires. Your attitude towards life and simple living is an inspiration.

    What a beautiful woman and awesome couple. So strong, sweet and independent. You guys are the maker of miracles and spread the healing love to people. The strength you as a woman presented is crazy and amazing. God bless you guys, wish you enjoy happy long life in the beautiful nature!

    I love how you are such a low maintenance person. You don't require other people to make you happy. You are able to make happy happen. Amen, you go girl.
  • @liberty4392
    I love this woman's attitude. She has a love for life and work that most people simply do not have. She is an inspiration to me.
  • @dallasreed1870
    I am an 81-year-old male who thoroughly enjoyed your video. I loved everything about it. Thank you for sharing your talents.
  • @piratetaylor29
    I have a trick to share with you and other DIYers about the doorway threshold. You cut the 1 by wood the width of the doorway opening. Then, do not nail it in. Instead, use two or three hinges to install it so that threshold flips outward so you sweep the dirt right out the doorway. Come on, that's genius and it works. I used a piano hinge on mine. 👍🏻🇺🇸
  • @lv4977
    I cried watching your video. It took me to a peace of mind that I've been yearning for for many years. 😎 Congratulations well done.
  • @betterbetty3542
    You have to be the most hardworking woman I’ve ever seen!

  • @piratetaylor29
    That's great that you found all sand for the outhouse. It's porus and will drain (leach) perfectly. No clay! Awesome. Great fire pit too! 👍🏻♥️🇺🇸
  • @carolynyerby361
    You're proof that a woman can do anything when she sets her mind to it. Great job, good ideas and built with love.
  • @ch2821
    So...... you fish, you paint, you carve, you’re a mom, AND you can frame out and build en entire house? Is there ANYTHING you can’t do? And your son..... such a talented sculpturer!
  • @louiseasher991
    I am absolutely inspired watching you work. I bought a 4 acre small holding in Ireland with a couple of buildings that need a fair bit of work. Been wondering if i was crazy trying to do this on my own as it's so much work BUT your video has made me remember that I CAN do this. Thanks so much for sharing the whole process, frustrations and all. I started on your husband's channel and never in my life have I watched 3 youtube videos back to back, let alone commented and subscribed. I love your cabin, the location, build, colour and interior are all just awesome. Toasting you guys with my hot choc as I type! X
  • @kanne3946
    Love your cabin. So cosy. I recently stumbled across Dave's channel and watched the outside build of it. You are both an inspiration to many of us.
  • @oxennguyen3148

  • You are impressive. I grew up without running water or electricity. It prepared me well for the uncertain times we currently face. 🙏🏻
