Off Grid Tiny Cabin- FINISHED!

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!

Brooke, I am a 63 year old woman and I have built a few things on our property. But have always wanted a little cabin on the back of our acreage where the deer graze and the geese land. When I cut the grass with my tractor I sit back and say this would be the perfect place for a little cabin. Well, after 3 years following Dave and you I got busy- took me 2 weeks watching all of the videos of this build over and over- again, And I have your twin! Right down to the color. I couldn’t be more happy with my little get away place to read and enjoy my view.
I love you guys- I now follow your son and daughter- Wow what a great family!

Thats all- got to get outside- it is my happy place. ❤

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.

[betterbetty]

You have to be the most hardworking woman I’ve ever seen!

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

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.

I think anyone who speaks to animals in a baby voice has got to be a GOOD PERSON. Love what you and your husband have achieved! It's uplifting just to watch it ...

[fredrika]

How many ladies are watching and really digging the at home feel! Now, I've watched a lot of men build their off grid cabins, but they just didn't look comfortable! This one does!!! Well done!

My great grandparents raised 7 kids in the Sierra Nevada, Alpine County valley. No indoor plumbing, no electricity, no gasoline powered generators. They all moved down to the bay area for one kid's health problems but they were all quite healthy and successful. Hard work and resourcefulness builds character and talents. Congratulations!

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.

[FairyWeatherMan]

Your approach to life is admirable. I know people who have 100 times your money and have probably 1/100 of your positive approach to harshness of life.
I admire you and your husband.

[Marcus-sxbj]

I just love how authentic you show yourselves. It's so rare these days on Youtube. All these professional youtubers where every second is "perfectly" cut and acted out and they barely breathe talking so fast. I way more enjoy your style (and Dave's) that's more raw and shows a great deal of heart. Please stay that way <3
