Those three words that start 70% of all projects...MY WIFE WANTED. Such is life.
That's right, husband and wife working together doubles happiness. Wishing you always be so happy
My father my brother and I built 4 dugouts on our 500 + acres and we rent them out for three months out of the winter to out of state hunters. Each dugout has a wood stove and compost toilet and sleeps 4 people comfortably. It took years to kinda catch on but now I make 400 dollars a week per person. Four wheelers and side by sides are available for extra price. They are very nice and taken care of... I even lived in the first one we built for over 3 months.
Would love to see a video tour. Sounds so cool
This is awesome!
Where I live in Montana the money season is Memorial Day to Labour day
How do you build to insure no water gets in? Always wondered when I watch them being built how they divert water when it rains or snow melt😮
That is So Awesome 😂❤🎉
Sir - When you said... "On my 60th Birthday", a rush of Hope and Inspiration came to me. I've always wanted to do what you and your wife have accomplished. I will begin in the coming year to hopefully make our dream a reality as well. Great job! Thank You and Bless you and family.
Wonderful!
Me too!!!
As an experienced -yet- aging general contractor, I gotta say, my elbow hurts watching you swing that hickory handle framing hammer. I’m impressed with hand nailing everything. And Larry Haun would be proud.
Best comment ever... Thank you!
As someone who has never swung a hammer and only used hobby air tools, does hammer type matter?
@@adamsauve yes. Carpenters use big hammers to drive bigger nails (like this video) small hammers to do finish work.
modern tradesman don’t face nail much of anything anymore but it’s fun to watch someone do it the old way.
@@billmacmillan5373I was going to say the same thing. See a lot of people using impacts to drive screws, not so much nailing though. Was a nice change. Good to see old school.
You may not be a "professional builder by trade", but this is beyond professional quality sir. Excellent job and great video showing the whole process. An awesome little getaway on the homestead. Beautiful cabin.
Best compliment ever! Thank you.
What a gift from God, Moe. You did splendid carpentry work on the cabin. ❤️
It is amazing. Mo is very talented IMO. Pink
Just one word....BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Fantastic cabin and video. You did an amazing job all around. Your homestead is growing in leaps and bounds because you both work so hard. Thank you for showing that a dream can come true with determination. Blessings❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Congratulations my friend, I'm also 60 years old and soon I'll start my cabin too. Our age is not an obstacle to anything. 💪🏽 God bless you!
God bless both of ya!
Beautiful video 😉
YOU are numero 1.🌟🥇🏆🥇
Bravoooo, BRAVOOO 👏👏👏
You did an excellent job on this cabin. I love it! You inspire me. I am 62 and you give me inspiration. Thank you for that. I want to build a chicken coop. I like the hammer and nails. That is how we learn to build growing up. Lots of blessings to you and again thank you.
Go for it! 62 is the new 30! Thank you, and best of luck.
Building a 10 X 16 off grid cabin my self. I am not a trained builder but I did get help from my friend who is. He kept me out of making big mistakes. I am 67 he is 73. Do not let age stop you. We go slower than we used to but that all part of the fun.
What a beautiful job!! That is a dream of ours also. 🏠
One of many of my observations; I have noticed is that When I have seen Farmers build a Cabin, they all do it almost perfectly! I Loved this Video! At my age of 73. Seeing a 60 year old man build a Superb Cabin, is showing that at even in your older years, it can be done! Thank You!
I looked again N putting the video together took some work thank you
Learning by watching I love building from you tube
What a great design - build - awesome Moe! Now get out the bear skin rug and pink and a bottle of wine! Awesome filming editing And narration!
Linda!!😍 Well done! What a blessing. May you enjoy it. 🙏🙌
Like we say BRUTAL!!😊❤
One word ,,perfect
From start to finish. Maybe your best video 👍
When I think of what "Happily Ever Looks Like", I know living here could be included. I love this cabin and would it would make me so happy to own some woods with a little cabin.
Like it very much especially the windows. Only 2 complaints no roof over porch and no bedroom.
We will be adding more at a later time
You certainly have a great eye and talent for carpentry. Reminds me of the house my grandfather built unfortunately my carpentry skills are pretty modest but 2 of my sons inherited the carpentry gene luckily LOL.
The wood stove and hearth is really nice.
Wow That's Amazingly Beautiful Guy's Congratulations On A Job Well Done Beautiful Cabin Love It 🤗❤🙏
Hello,... Super nice!!! Well done, enjoy.
Beautiful job.
Mighty fine!! God Bless!!
Wonderful job!
Absolutely gorgeous, amazing!👏👏 I watched the video at 2am and enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing 💞
Glad you enjoyed it!
So cozy, thank You.
Wow wow wow!!!!!!! Incredible ❤
Thank you. It turned out beautifully. ❤
Very well done.👍
You are a professional builder. Excellent JOB!
Thank you for confirming what I been thinking about doing when I build my cabin next spring and That is putting the bubble foil down over the floor joist before the plywood. I've never seen it done before and was going to do it anyway! great build and video!
For our instance the bubble wrap was enough since we live in a mild climate. If you live in a cold climate however, full insulation would be advisable.
I'd love to see him do that plus add insulation and a plastic moisture barrier....😮 to the bottom side of the subfloor. Because of course you would cover the bottom of the cabin to keep the critters out!
@@offgridchallengeI’m building one very similar … 10x20 .. we built to 10x10 walls and covered them with plywood … painted it and then laid them down and tied them together and filled the floor with styrofoam recycled from another project .. then built the walls similar to yours …
Beautiful to see husband and wife on a project especially in their later years. 55 and hoping to get my chance to build one (at least a shed) before its too late. Congratulations, Job well done.
Thank you! You can do it too!
Awesome job,hats off to you,beautiful
Thank you very much!
Beautiful cabin. Well done.
Dam that's a good hammer . Best hammer I seen on youtube by far . Nice job on the cabin 👍🏻
Best hammer ever for sure! Thanks.
Awesome job Moe!
Великолепная работа!! Мне 40 лет и в этом году осенью мне предстоит такая же работа,но по строительству дома большего размера. Тоже из дерева,но в России. Надеюсь смогу построить также хорошо,как и вы!!!
Спасибо и удачи!
This is absolutely perfect.
Thank you
Very nice! I love the rock behind the wood stove. ❤
Thank you!
Beautiful 🤩👌🏻
Wow thats one amazing cabin! Great job , it looks fantastic!!
Thanks so much!
Great job on the cabin...🎥😃👍👌👊💪💪💪
It looks great! Y'all did a wonderful job! ❤❤❤ Love it❤❤❤
Very nice guys happy 60 mo.❤
BEAUTIFUL❤
keeps a body and mind YOUNG, to do this!! Nice hammerwork! Great attitude, too. 73-here, just finished self-building my 7th ECOhome. After the catamaran :-) Whewwwww...the dreams NEVER stop. May I suggest for anyone thinking of doing this, to FIRST plant some fruit trees. No reason to wait, right?! :-) Sempre avanti.... (now I offer FREE Plans for anyone willing to self-build, cause in 2024 there is NO other way) Say...that IS DF or SYP wood, right? Too-bad its NOT 2x6. BIG difference. Ahhhhh....this guys "young", he'll learn from this! haaaaaa
Grazie! Sempre avanti!
@@offgridchallenge and don't forget that boat to still build :-) Maybe an Escargot? Or an ECO6? A micro-canalboat is what I've next ahead. Are you wishing you'd built that 2nd floor? My designs always seem to be that!
This is fantastic, great voice over, wonderful shooting. Excited to see more builds.
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!!😇
Thanks 👍
Where’s the bathroom? Water source?
Coming in the future... Kitchenette, full bathroom, and bedroom
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing yur process.
Y'all did a great job! Everything looks so 👍👍👍
Thank you.
So pretty
I salute you for this incredible achievement, especially at 60 (though 60 isn't old). It's quite an age difference from my 37 years. Many of us younger folks might shy away from such a project, feeling incompetent, but you're proving that anything is possible and that age is truly just a number.
Fantastic video, wonderful cabin!! Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
That is absolutely beautiful. You both did an excellent job. I’d live there in a heart beat. Thanks for sharing.❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Bad ass good job
Incredible attention to detail. Your work is just as good as anything I've seen on CZcams. Mostly by yourself and with physical ailments. I envy your tenacity and attention to detail. Impressive!!! Motivates me to do more things like this. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
You did better than some professionals I see on a daily basis
That's quite a compliment, thank you.
You did a fantastic job 💯👏👏
I appreciate it
nailed it.
Thank you for the simplistic motivation!!! I have been waiting too long and for you to be a score older than I, it's time for me to start this fall! Thank you from Texas.
Great build and thanks for sharing this! I want to do something like this myself and this helpsme a lot to know is possible. Thanks again.
Part of the reason we started this channel was to inspire others. Thank you!
Nice work. Very professional. God bless ya.
My uncles built their house I loved innit than I was the one to tear it down cause someone bought land their I miss it than they were older I was older and we built a garga two stall built all rafters and I’m a carpenter and I always had Thai goal of mine to build a cabin or little house I live on the lake watching this is so relaxing and inspiring at the same time thank you for your video just to be out tjeir doing that work is rewarding
I admire your efforts and thank you for sharing.
I appreciate that!
Love your cabin. So cozy. The fireplace is my favorite. I love the window placement and beams in roof.
Thank you so much!
Super! 🇸🇪👍⭐️💯🎖🏆
You'll be opening those windows in the winter lol
You made it look so easy. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks!
You did an amazing job brother man!!!

Great video! Thanks for the upload!!👍🙂
Have I seen this done before. Yes. Am I going to watch another one for the 100th time.. yes yes 😂
Very nice!!
Hats off to both of you! I love your off grid cabin!!!! I'd like to build one myself but am afraid I don't have the skills to do so. You are an inspiration ☺
Beautiful congrats ❤
Thanks for watching
Wow you guests are lucky! Great job!!!
Your pain can be greatly reduced by going on a carnivore diet. No carbs. No sugar. Try it out. Nice build. My GF and i are building similar in the woods of upstate NY
Yes... Sugar is the silent killer. I tried eliminating sugar for a few months and I did notice a big difference. Best of luck with your build.
It’s fabulous. Love all the extra touches like the chimney stone.
Looks amazing, nice job.
Thanks!
Great work!
Thanks!
Your cabin is beautiful !!!
Thank you!
Nice work!!
It's just perfect work! Really impressiv
Thanks a lot!
Right on!
Nice! Going to retire on my 60th birthday and attempt to do something similar to what you have done! Great job!!
Came a cross this video on you small cabin build . And what awesome job you guys did on it and read love the fireplace and brick work . The facted that your deck is a nice size to relax on and maybe down the road if you wanted to add another room to it you can use the deck as your floor . 👍👍 New to your channel.

Thank you, and Welcome!
You did a beautiful job!👍
Thank you! 😊
Age is just a number ... take good care and continue to entertain us and teach us .
I don’t know if this is the same everywhere but where I live in NW Ohio if you have a building that’s not on a foundation such as this you don’t have to pay property taxes on the building.
I LOVE the owl painting!!!!! We had one just like that in our house when I was a kid.❤️
Awesome video Mo and an awesome cabin build.
Thank you.
Beautiful job ! Love it !
You have done a splendid job!! Well done!
Thank you so much 😀
