what you do exceeds code in natural points scale. more eco-friendly. thats the idea. look at all variables, not just one variable in energy and carbon emission. recycling, reducing, milling dead wood, its all good and selective forestry as you do, clean it out, be a ggod custodian of the forest. no maples. maple syrup maybe. leeds plus. also consider earthship solarium 6 ft deep with water recovery and removable panels 2x 4 ft. some even use auto windshields in bali at green school to build a solarium. if there is a brook, you could mill wood 1 month per year using the power from it. use that voltage to. buy a lot, frame it somehow to make it look great. find a way to make it in to modular panels you can remove somehow, although different, fill in with red roof materials 3 ft x 5 ft panels. the size of a winshield. put a music studio or extra room in hunting pilon. recover water. a tree house with a bridge, strung up that a grandma can walk on. smooth ascension airbnb. sailor ropes, steel, lumber and wire or logs as in cube for railing but flexible somehow, chain together 8 ft sections and go up over 50-60 ft 20 feet high. do the math, its possible. add a few stairs if necceesary. easy to move in stuff. ground everything as that motel in alaska. see earthing, the video. consider forest gardens with fruit trees and berries and maybe a few other things but focus on solarium for veggies, easier inside at waist level in raised beds. grounded with a g few ground wires. going in and out. the trees do that with their root systems naturally. if you know how to plaster, there ll be very little sanding. as the italians do. clean job. maybe use a sponge in certain places to do some magic where you have to cheat. use plaster of Paris or Durex very sturdy. the slum landlords use that in new yoke city. lol. mixed with Joint Compound. n certain places or lime finish edwardians and vikings used ash from the fire, mixed with clay and horsehair to do waddle. resting on batons. batons=lumber. look at the hassle of moving the gyprock. plus the cost in gas and purchase. to get in onside is. lots of work. cut that step. wattle with lime or ash or even plaster of paris. easy peezy bro with big trowels. 2-3 coats. quick work. the batons is the work but with the tacker it can be quickly placed. and no gyprock cutting and chateau finish. consider viking siding finish when you have wood that is not cedar. boil tree roots and branches. recover the black goo et voila, there is your finish. buid a marmite-bowl in the ground. cook it there 20 art once. use it on your canoe made of birch or fine layers of wood. they built the drakars that way covered in that black goo. it s undestructible. some houses in Sweden are 1000 years old with that finish. no degradation. get jacuzzi and get grounded in the snow. lol. also, look ar firepits in the soil for cooking or have movable pits. also fitres in a log spilt piece of wood take out middle block. fire there. cook ontop. finish and russians have cool videos on their way of cooking in the forest in bad weather. have a forest survival workshop maybe. it would be fun. cheat a little. provide good sleeping bags with goose feathers home made. or local. and sleep in them woods in the winter, next to an igloo hotel. an array of disolving hotel. lol no evidence. lol. where all the furniture is snow and ice. great for grounding. sleep on furs from the forest. glasses are in iice. they do this in quebec city. google ice hotel. people spend 4-8 hours in it. they even have an oven in it i think, maybe not.

That's a great little cabin.
We did our walls and ceiling with OSB, then painted. Back when you could actually buy the stuff without getting a mortgage.
I was worried about how drywall would react to hot and cold transitions over time.
Like you, we used a high quality vinyl sheet flooring and steel roof. Two things that we are hoping we never have to replace. I would also recommend vinyl plank flooring.
For plumbing and electrical it's built like an RV. 12v lighting, propane water heater, water holding tank with 12v pump. We're not animals. -
A group 27 battery will give us 3 days of lighting and water pump but we also have a smalll generator to recharge the battery and supply the converter. Solar charging is a future project.
We also have, what I believe is, the fanciest outhouse in Canada. Vinyl flooring, steel roof, vinyl window, steel door with 3/4 etched glass. Fully insulated.

This is my second time watching the entire cabin build series. I just thought I'd mention that when it comes to mudding, skip sanding all together and make yourself a much happier person. I discovered years ago that you just don't need to sand if you apply the mud the right way. In between coats, I knock down the high spots with my knife by carefully running it along the seams. Then for the final coat, I water the mud down considerably to feather it out. I haven't sanded in years and my seams are invisible.
Just my two cents! I love these videos! Love!

use charcoal from smoke house that burnt for water treatment pit, using sand and charcoal. cleans the water. grey water goes into a pool. make it waterproof, then fill it with the earth you removed, then plant fruit trees. ie replace that cherry tree, also berries in forest and in siberia, they grow ivan tea. in our climate, we could grow it also. it s a healing tea. maybe there is a local species that is similar to it. probably. study up on berries and mushrooms and herbs maybe

Vinyl floor is a poor idea, with your skills how could you do this! You could have made a wood floor and finished it with stain and urethane. I like vinyl and installed LVT with grouted joints in my kitchen. I like the softer feel underfoot and if I drop something it will less likely break and if i dropped a pot on ceramic tile it would crack. but vinyl in a cabin? NO WAY!

The trick to painting is always wear a painting shirt.
Also they sell paint filters, paper funnels with a screen in the bottom. Now I know why. I've never recycled paint, but with today's prices and the wait in the parking lot for curbside. I'll recycle paint. Just to not have to wait in a parking lot.

I don't know if I can so this (name a company, but I highly recommend Goal Zero for your solor set up. I have used them for a few years and love their products and especially their service. It would be perfect for your off grid life at this cabin.

It's not very nice that you keep taking credit for your brother's hard work. He puts a LOT of effort into his projects, and then you steal his thunder. - I feel sorry for Kevin, living in your shadows whilst he is the star. Shame on you.

hi - I'm sure somebody else has asked this but I'm late to the party. Why did you choose the size that you did? Could you have made the cabin larger, or would it have required changing techniques / permits/ etc?

I would NEVER have the patience for all that drywall and sanding. Besides, I like the logs of a log cabin to be natural on the inside and outside. Just some chinking between the logs. That's all I need.
