CABIN in the WOODS Build! | HAND Digging & Setting Foundation Ep1

Описание к видео CABIN in the WOODS Build! | HAND Digging & Setting Foundation Ep1

Digging and setting the foundation for a small tiny off-grid cabin in the Canadian forest. We will use only hand tools including shovels, pick axes and pry bars, to dig pillars that will hold up the first floor framing joists for the tiny house. We are now working on the outhouse:    • Building Outhouse at Off Grid Cabin i...  

Later will will us the Norwood Portable Sawmill to turn dead standing trees into lumber, which is the goal of this build; use materials around us to create something beautiful.

This whole series is about building an all-seasons cabin that will house more than a few people. The idea is team-work, use of tools, hand tools and power tools when possible to construct something great that will bring us closer to nature and provide balance to our lives that we so desperately crave.

This isn't about escaping the rat race, this is about getting close to things that help us get balance in our lives. Too much of anything, including isolation is horrible for the soul.

In this series we use materials around us to construct a small forest cabin.

We'll use cedar, pine, ash, maple, and whatever else we can scrounge up from the 30 acres around us. The aim is to avoid using as much store bought material as possible and keep the budget reasonably low.

Originally we set a budget of $1000, but that included the use of a frame from an old camper trailer. As we build, the budget will remain flexible in effort to produce a cabin that we are proud of and one that will last a long while, be comfortable, and sleep real human beings.

In episode 1, we dig in our "foundation" from reclaimed pressure treated 6x6 posts, level, and set the lower foundation in place which will then accept the first floor of the cabin.
