- Over the past 3 years I built our lakeside off grid cabin in the beautiful woods of northern Michigan. Here is the complete build condensed into less than 45 minutes. Check out all the episodes in my playlist. Looking forward to many new and exciting projects this spring and summer! Stay Tuned!
Woops!!! Realized in the video I said I started in the fall of 2022....I meant 2021! Time flies. :-)

One of the nicest cabin builds I've ever seen .
I love it. Makes me dream. The background music was very emotional. Teary eyed watching this video.
I absolutely love the whole cabin. The colour bond outside looks great and perfect inside. Gives that variation. The internal steps are a great design. Furniture is beautiful. Look forward to more videos. Great music.
Absolutely beautiful and I for one, love the white metal ceiling. Gives a nice break from the wood. Great job.
Great workmanship! In the beginning, you dug the drill foundation pieces into the yard using a long stick to do the twisting and turning. This is actually a proper implementation of the Archimedean principle, "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth." (i.e., the greater the distance between you and the center of rotational motion, the greater the energy) Well done! Plz! Release a version with only the nature sounds???
Beautiful build! Congratulations.
Excellent videography and editing. Quality time lapse, no jerky movements and droning commentary.
Nice job on building you cabin by the lake. A perfect location for the perfect cozy cabin. Thanks for sharing.
Parabéns ,meu amigo !
Adorei sua cabana!
Muito bom gosto e trabalho bem feito 👏👏👏
Assistir o antes e o depois eu adoro ❤
Só merecia uma varanda maior, uma paisagem como essa merece ser contemplada ❤
Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the build. The music?? Excellent!! Turned us on to some new artists
Good on you mate. Job well done!!!!!! No doubt this journey was enjoyable for you I'm sure.... Relax for a minute...Cheers!!
Can you share a bit more about the screw in footings? I’ve been wondering about this for this application for a while. Thanks!
Home Depot company called Pylex...They offer a variety of sizes and applications. I used them to make a solar panel support structure. With these you dont have to dig holes and mix concrete for the posts. Once you get them lined up properly they are sturdy enough. I am now looking at putting in a 4 by 4 post fence and stringing wire mesh and chicken wire.
Домик,супер. Молодцы хорошо потрудились.
It was easy for me to forget how much time and effort went into this project but was quickly reminded with this video. Congratulations on the completion of such a great build. You took great care into making sure that this structure will last for many decades and Lord willing, it does. May you, your family and friends have many wonderful memories made while at the lake. God bless and be safe on your journeys.
The music was relaxing
Wow amazing very nice and beautiful house
Lovely video, quite fascinating to watch. I'd do metal sheeting on the inside as well, I'd just paint all inside wood white for harmonization of using different materials.
I soooo enjoyed this time lapse! I realize it was alot of work, and time lapse makes it seem like it was so easy....thanks for sharing! Looking forward for the new projects coming up!
Michigan, MY Michigan!!!! I might not live in Western Michigan like I did for my life, but Michigan will always be HOME in my heart ❤!! What you did with this build is super special, and living with such a beautiful lake view makes it a keeper. TFS ❤
So so glad that you are back. Can't wait to see what projects you will be tackling in the spring. Thanks for putting your talent out there for all of us to see. Stay safe.
Absolutely love your cabin and what a view congrats. Julie 🇦🇺 😊.
This is a very inspiring and informational video, along with your others. Congratulations to you on a great build and property. - Edwardsburg, MI
Thank you kindly!
I would add a nice throw rug in front of the sofa and some nice soft blankets on the sofa to bundle up in. On the approach, I would lay some nice large flagstones and fill in around them with decomposed granite. I might also add some simple lights on the stairs inside and out for night visibility. You can install those stick-on LED light strips that are super low voltage for lighting the kitchen area at night or for that matter anywhere else. I prefer to trim out my window casings in cedar that is smooth sanded. It stains awsome and smells amazing. It also lasts a very long time. I have built many tables in this and they just last and last.
The results and your persistent efforts are amazing, I really admire your talent 😍
Nice song😊❤😊
１人で全部仕上げるなんて凄いですね！！
んだ^_^🎉
Great to have you back cant wait for whats next x
You do quality work! Keep us updated with your future projects!
It turned out beautiful!

Nice one! You did what I'm dreaming about 🤩 someday I will fallow your lead!! Thx 😀
Supper cool build and what a great location. Many good times and memories will be built at this cabin!!!
Great cabin, great music, great video
I absolutely love your cabin
Beautiful congratulations!
Que gran trabajo , demasiado esfuerzo y dedicación en cada detalles, lo mejor , toda la pasión que puso en cada día que dedico a la construcción, muchas gracias por compartir y muchas bendiciones
Great video and a great looking cabin. Excellent job. That looks like a lot of work.
❤Thank you for sharing the process of handcrafting this beautiful wooden house❤
What a beautiful cabin in a lovely location! Enjoy the results of your hard work!
Very very nice job from start to finish also beautiful view 👍🏾
Good for you! What a wonderful thing to have created for your family. Congratulations. It will be a meeting place and source of fond stories and memories for generations. In Scandinavia they see their Hytte (huts/cabins) as the true family home. Urban dwellings may come and go, but the cabin remains at the heart of family gatherings.
Ahhh! This is so awesome! I'd love to have a place like this. I'd love to retire here and never leave.
Read revelation 12.....to the end....
Need a bathroom
Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
Great job men😊
Nice job!
Great video
That is an outstanding video. Beautiful build and superb music. I loved it. ❤
looks great
Awesome video
GOOD JOB .
What type of foundation is that, can someone explain? And where to buy?
Nice cabin😁
🔨🪚🪓good job👍🏼
Great video! I’ve been watching since the start. Impeccable craftsmanship and engineering in an space on an amazing place on the planet:) wish I could visit
You did a great job on this off grid cabin but I would not have covered up beautiful wood underneath the loft and the ceiling with that white tin. That wood is so beautiful like it is. But otherwise you did a great job.😊
Guess he worried someone would throw their drink upto the ceiling so wanted a wipe off surface.
아주 아주 좋아유~~~~~~~~
Love the cabin and the property !! I would like to have a woodstove though😊
Love it ❤ 😊
Excellent build. Lot of time and effort. Just a quick questin. Have you had any issues with the screw in anchor supports. Never seen them use in a cabin build before.
What are those twist in footings? Very cool work
I need these!!
he is the flash❤
Great project and great work, at a gorgeous location. I'm worried about settling over time with those screw-in footer system, but I hope I'm wrong - please keep us updated on how they perform for you.
I like it.
Essa casa ficou muito linda ❤❤❤❤
I think we got all the rocks on the Ontario side. be had screwing them in the ground. as the crow fly's were at the same elevation.
Just came across the channel. Cheers from case township. 🍺
When you were zip taping the gable window in the front of the cabin you taped the top, then the sides...which is backwards as the seam no longer tucks under the top...no worries tho as zip tape is so sticky it will have sealed just fine
Please enclose the structural plan
Would you happen to have a material list. I'd like to build something similar
Great Job !!! Loved the music. Never heard it before. Very calming . Good luck on your site.
Nice solid framing and it looks well built. I do have a questions though, why did you not put your ceiling joist on top of the wall plate?
Fantastic workmanship! The cabin looks amazing!
Curious how those pin footings will hold tho. Great build!
MANY WILL COME AND VISIT YOU FROM THE LAKE .....
Great build! Thanks for sharing. What is the overall size of your cabin?
Thanks for adding the music references. I loved the songs.
Why you put steel panels above inside, instead of wood like on walls?
Ottimo Bravo tutti.
I have followed you since this projects inception. I remember the lopsided camera issue from the episode where you put in the beams and foundation lol. I wonder if you have seen any movement in those screw in pillars you opted for as your base for foundation?
what sort of post/ties where those? seems to be very handy for the slope youre on
Also here to ask about the screw in anchors. How are they serving you?
Felicitaciones ingeniero de lujo hermosa 👍💋🎂👑🤣🤣🤭💝💖🤭👓🌹🛸🛸🛸♥️💚🏆🎂
I love the cabin, but I don't see any heat source. You've been chopping and stacking wood, but no stove or chimney is installed.
Nice work. Have to keep a certain size for UP CODE? or no?
Nice build, if you don’t mind me asking how much was the material costs? Thinking of doing something similar
What was the foundation of the house. Was it a pointed metal? How can you be sure that it will not get deeper with tje weight of the house and occupants?
Thanks for the vid. How did you like the Helical Pylons? I've been looking at them for a while and they seem almost too good to be true. I don't have to worry about rocks, so they're are basically perfect for what I would need. Cheers from FL, USA!
I'm from Michigan. My life in the Navy took me away. I lived in Oscoda, on lake Huron. What is the general area you're in? I love Michigan, it's so beautiful
Those things your twisting are footings?
What are the dimensions of the house?
very nice ! what are the dimensions of your cabin ?
I have concerns about those screwed in footings and the fact you didn't put any blocking between your 16 on center or was it less?
Just sayin!
Did you need permits for this size of cabin?
Great review. I forgot about how much work you put into this.
I loved the cabin especially the stairway
❤❤❤❤❤
Great soundtrack
❤❤❤
Beautiful build, but what are the floor dimensions?
Looked like 12 x 16
Todo perfecto, y si puedo hacer una sola ctitica pésima decoracion . !!
