We start off the small off grid cabin build by collecting more timber for lumber to build the roof structure (vaulted ceiling, steeply pitched roof to create the loft area of the cabin. This will be the second floor of the small off-grid cabin in the woods. No modern scaffolding or cranes involved, but we don't shy away from using power tools, tractors, winches, chainsaws or whatever else will free us from overwork. We sometimes even use hand tools! The Suzuki is a huge log puller until we fire up the tractor! Next we move in our huge pine ridge pole that will hold up the rest of the ceiling and covered front porch. The loft is from ash and we put it up in the attic in order to have a place to work from as we raise the roof of the cabin. The decking is framing in with cedar to help it weather the water better since it will be in contact with it a lot of the time

Hey Wooded Beardsman, (I don't know if you're okay with us using your firstname. I can't remember if you have introduced the second helper. I know your brother from your older vids.
Your son should be really proud of you and he is very lucky to have him. (Going to get a little emotional from this point) I know I would be happy to have a father like you are.
I never really had a father figure in my life. I just recently reconnected with my father and I am happy to have done so. There is so much shit going on nowadays with people hating on men and women saying they don't need men to raise children. I, sadly from own experience, know that probably, if any, only a hand full of women could do it alone. But the father is one of the most important people in a boys life.
What you are doing is always great. Love your videos. Always getting hungry if you cook something outdoors. I even get water in my mouth watching the cutting of an animal. I used to have problems with it when I was younger. Gladly I accepted that this is how we humans survive and started learning about butchering.
After watching your Videos I really wanted to get out, do something. Learn how to hunt. You are a top motivator right now. Sadly here in Germany it's a lot harder to start all of this. But I got a friend from university who is a hunter. Hope I can get into it with his help.
Thanks for all your work.
Keep it up

I left some bark on my cabins loft support logs and once I finished and started heating the cabin; I ended up with carpenter ants, powder post beetles, and jack beetles boring and hatching all over my logs. had to peel them in place, spray an insecticide and coat them in a poly. Lots of eggs under there! Great Cabin design!

Guys love the build and your work ethic. A couple of your building practices kind of make me nervous, one being the loft beams being bolted into the end. They should be sitting on top of that beam. It now looks like your doing the same thing on the last piece you added to the deck?

I don't know how youtube just got around to finally suggesting me one of your videos today? I'm also building a small cabin in the woods. My Rafters are also Ash, boy is it hard to drive a nail into! Mine dried for 3 years on site, it's hard as a rock.

That Lumberpro is freak'n AWESOME! I would have never thought from your previous videos that you would take on something like this. This cabin is going to be sweet! I can't wait to see the porch. Thanks Chris and friends!

Great job on executing Construction to your mental view of what you're trying to accomplish. In other words you did very great job of the structure without an official blueprint

Probably would have been a good idea to bring down some of the trees on the path to the cabin. You would have a nice path you could bring a car or 4 wheeler down.
reply

Would you like me to send you some wet wipes for your Va J. Did a lot of complaining about the cold for being a Canadian. Just messing with you bro.

Keep um coming!
