    Here's my A Frame I built with my friends in 2018-2019! It's a weekend getaway with a separate outhouse (before everyone asks). It's mega cozy and has served as a great spot to glamp at this past spring and summer! There are a series of videos with each step broken down, for anyone interested!
    Special thanks to Martin Thornell, Rich Turner, Captain Tom, Eric Young, Sacha Roy and especially Richard Scott! Couldn't have done it without you all!

      Don’t worry about what the people sitting on their couches say! Those people are idiots... building codes are designed to make some people rich while keeping others poor, as long as everything overlaps it will be water tight and air tight; I am betting that you won’t find/have any issues for a decade... which is a lot better than any “new construction house built to code” that I have ever lived in....

    FYI never run flashing tape back into your window/door openings.If water ever gets behind the siding it channels in right into the house behind the window nailing flange. Hang window/door and tape over the nailing flash. I've replace a lot of rotten boards from doing the way he did in the video.

    Very cute build! I’m thinking “they are going to cook in that thing” due to all the insulation. My family has a very similar A-frame camp, 14’x16’ but the walls are just wide tongue-and-groove boards milled locally, no insulation. It’s got an old antique wood cookstove that has an oven and water heater, and the camp interior during Maine’s cold winters is so hot we have to open the windows to let cold air in or we’ll roast to death, LOL.

      Melda , believe me , I very much doubt you would be happy in such a small space...Much too small for a (sleeping ) loft , difficult to install cabinets on your roof . (think about it ) a bed would use up most of the available space.... Perhaps some small storage space could be made down low on the roof ( walls ) but that takes away valuable floor space....My advice is think much bigger !

    • @billfrederickfrederick2791
      @billfrederickfrederick2791 Před 4 lety

      My son and I built an equilateral A frame , floor and both sides are 16 foot...Length is 24 foot so that adds up to 384 square footprint set on some concrete blocks...When we built the A frame cabin I had visions of an upstairs loft , you know the whole bit....We were able to make a very small loft....( big disappointment )...with the wood stove burning the temperature in the loft is quite unbearable.. (impossible for sleeping )....If the sguare footage of the little A frame in the video is 10 x 10. That means my A frame is almost four times as big , and I can honestly say that my A frame is WAY too small for any more than two people . If your dream is to have " a little cabin in the woods " , believe me when I say a little cabin , is just that , too little ! Pretty soon you'll be making plans for an addition . Yes , an A frame is very strong and able to withstand tremendous snow loads that could likely collapse a lesser dwelling , but there is a lot of wasted space.....If I had it to do over , I wood forget about my "little cabin in the woods " , and build as big as I could afford cabin in the woods

    • @Well_possibly
      @Well_possibly Před 4 lety

      @Andrew Szeto, if you end up using your cabin in winter, a small version of rocket mass heater may be nice, slowly releasing heat through the night, even after the wood is consumed.
      Good short video is: What is a rocket mass heater? (at "paul wheaton" channel)
      Rocket stoves burn so hot that they burn the creosote and smoke before anything goes up the chimney, avoiding risk of chimney fires and causing little air pollution.
      I've never had one, but they look easy to build and use just a fraction of wood that a wood burning stove uses to heat the same space.
      Anyway, I enjoyed the video. I love the quality of the workmanship. I hope you have many wonderful stays in your cabin.

Flat cook surface on top, oven inside, and heats the space also. Barely any smoke because it is a gasifier

    Very quaint and looks like it was a lot of fun to make. I will say for anyone watching, your bearing system was quite a lot more complicated than necessary. Four 6x6 PT posts in the ground on pre-cast concrete footings would be fine. A notch at the top to carry 2x12 pairs for rim joists, and 2x10 floor joists hung inside those by hangers and you're ready for sub floor.
