FINISHING TOUCHES and FUN at Small Cabin! | TOXIC MOLD, Positive Thinking, New Series Ep11

In this episode we work hard to complete the exterior of the cabin and address your cabin concerns while Holden and his friend from school build a quinzee using snow. We feed our chickadee friends and we show off our matching snowsuits from the 80’s. We even get a chance to run the sleds and have FUN after enjoying a “meal” cooked on the wood stove! We are now working on the outhouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j1N5TOmBLI

We set up a thermometer to figure out how warm we can get the cabin. We install an antler-hand handle door hand and circular window. Kevin shows off his Norwood shake-maker. Kevin will talk about the cost of of our wood stove and why we decided to get it.

The idea in this episode is to complete all the exterior work including the trim, siding and door. We will talk about some of the concerns you’ve been having, from the mold on the wood, the levelness of the cabin, burning brush rather than putting it in the wood stove and much more.

Whenever we run out of lumber, we just mill more wood from trees that are right on the property. We’ll use handtools like hammers, axes, saw, shovels and prybars, but will also use power tools including chainsaws, winches, atv’s, and a chopped up SUV whenever it is convenient.

We will be using cedar and spruce trees that are standing dead so we don’t have to kiln dry the wood or let it season.

Please follow along with the full playlist in order to understand the full construction of the tiny cabin.

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.
