Off grid cabin build for $3k to lock up in 8 days (Australia)

EDIT** Sorry about the music, I'm aware it's super annoying but it was my first vid and now I can't change it.
Simple off grid cabin build on a budget using logs, milled timber from the property, surplus & second hand materials to create an affordable cabin quickly.

You gotta love the old EH wagon.
You should do a tour video
Heaps of people would love it.

I love that your build was focused on reclaimed materials, she's so unique. Bit rough around the edges but hey, we Aussies are hahaha. Cute cabin, great to see some Aussie DIY content!

I've got a 200W solar blanket and portable battery bank with AC and DC outputs on it. It's enough to charge multiple batteries a day when you're in the bush. Would highly recommend.

Thanks for sharing. As a couple planning to move off-grid out west this has been very informative.

Being a carpenter and builder….. love it bro
I wonder how many Handymen have give this a go and screwed it up royally…….
This isn’t DIY
Hahaha….. you said Laser…….no rules but you still know what works and what does’t.
Great lads👍🏼🇦🇺

No ant caps, all green timber. Hope your not expecting it to last too long

This is how we travelled back in the 60s.
Dad was a carpenter and carried the timber and tin roofing on the packrack of his HD Holden wagon.
Us 5 kids carried all around, the youngest always sitting on mums lap in the front. No seatbelts back then.

Nice video, awesome little cabin, and that vintage wagon! 🤩
That guitar lick was super anoying, though.😂

Thumbnail of the EH Wagon got my interest. I had the model after that, but would have happily owned any Holden from the sixties. That camera angle from 1:25 sure made the floor look unlevel, and some of the trees behind it sure helped sell the idea.

Loved it!!!! Perfect Aussie spot, and what a vehicle to add that real Aussie feel to your off grid cabin. I have been stuck in the city dreaming of country living. I'm semi retied building an off gid tiny home on wheels and would love to come and see your place one day when my VAN is built. I'll keep following your may be one

[plowestory]

Great work lads - Team work making the dream work ! Love it !!

[nevbaker]

Great work. Just hope the next bushfire doesn't take it all out.

[SoulpowerMSRS]

I like the shack.
You should have been more careful chosing the site though. Sounds like you've got an annoying neighbour with an electric guitar who won't shutup.

For anyone setting up string lines and using them to have exact measurements... make sure your strings are level. If they just follow the ground, you may end up with a building which isn't square, even if your string lines were square but not level.

Great idea about reusing windows and doors for a bush bogan boudoir.

[sandycultofthesun]

the exact same riff for the entirety of a 13 minute video nearly made me turn it off.

loved the vid, and the tune is a banger, but having the same thing on repeat the entire time is crazy

[bolge]

Cool cabin, good work, but that ol EH wagon is the bomb..!!!

[andrewt]

Awesome. At the beginning, the camera level made bearers look horribly on the piss!! I knew they weren’t but it really messed with my OCD!🤣🤣
Grouse cabin mate. 👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
