- Welcome back to our off-grid cabin build! We know you've been eagerly waiting for another update, and today, we're excited to show you our progress. Join us as we construct and stand the lower portions of our A-frame cabin.
We can't wait to continue on our build and take you along for the journey.
Thank you for supporting our channel!
Katie & Chris
WOW watching you two work together is a work of art.
I don’t know the background of the majority of your audience but as a contractor for 40 years I’m often asked about truss angle and how we figure it out. Thanks to technology measuring rise/run for slope ratios and Pitch then using a construction calculator saves brain cells for sure. No more homemade protractors and plumbers bobs. Could be a good tutorial for a short for your viewers?❤
The long anticipate building of the cabin has come true. It's unbelievable that of what you two have accomplished in lifting the heavy wood. Very proud of you all. 😅😅😅😅
Amazing work
HUGE amount of progress for one video. Great job🎉
Great job. "Team work Makes the Dream work" Defiantly a marriage builder.
Or a test of a marriage.
"Defiantly"?
I appreciate that you explain what you are doing and why. Thank you for a great channel
To you, sir and madam,
Congratulations on planning the assembly of the A Frame, now the way the foundation is assembled makes sense, I really liked the way you are carrying out the construction services and it helped me think in an unexpected way. I look forward to the continuation and completion of the construction of your home.
May God bless you and continue the good work both in construction and filming.
Wow! You two are doing a great job
Looks so easy from our side. Fantastic to see you both working so well and fast together. See you next week! Thanks
Looking "A" mazing! 🤣😂 Great job you two. 💯👍🍁
I am enjoying watching your home come together! Nice work.
That's really going to be so nice. I can't wait till the next video. Great job 👍
I have to say this is a mighty cool A-frame.
Oh wow that looks so much bigger when you stood it up. Great job looks awesome
Framing your walls and ceiling at the same time. Pretty cool
I really appreciate how you explain what you're doing and why. You two work together like a well oiled machine! Great progress made!
I really like the way you are building - enjoying it
You are doing a great job. At least your not shy on the fasteners. As a carpenter of almost 50 yrs. I enjoy watching. Thanks Dan in Alberta , Canada.😂
Thanks for sharing another great video you two, oh let's not forget the supervisor of building & chief of security Nelly!!! Progress is a beautiful thing
I really appreciate your expiations. There are far to many channels that just video without letting those of us who can no longer do what you are doing. Thank You.
Wow, it's looking good.
It looks so nice I’m so happy for the two of you it’s going to be beautiful. 💯
You work so well together!
Exciting times. I look forward to watching you build your A frame cabin. You work so well together. Great team. Thank you for sharing. Take care from Cape Cod Massachusetts ✌️🇺🇸
You guys are doing so well and it's so beautiful there. Be very proud of yourselves
Amen. I'm so happy for you many blessings, and keep safe, and thank you for sharing 🙏
I could clearly see the inner volume getting in wonderful shape. looking so nice!
You two are the A-Team!!!
I'm so excited for you two! Thanks for filming. You've got some beautiful scenery there, and the fog is kinda enchanting.
I'd love to see some more of your goats, and how's your garden doing? Keep on keepin' on.
Looks good. I would suggest adding another row of fire-block between the floor and what you have now. Interested in how your splice will be made for the rest of the skeleton framing. Be safe.
What I saw today was not only a very well thought out plan and execution. But a great marriage tool. Seemed to really minimize the complaining and arguing. Well done, kudos to you both!
Great video !
I'm not a home builder of any kind I've never seen this style before but for two people it's ingenious. 10 ft sealings and the loft I can't wait to see it done great job in the work and finding the design.
Wild wonderful off grid channel built an A frame, its beautiful
As you were standing up the last rafter I was praying for your safety So happy and hopeful for you to
I watched wild wonderful off grid do same maybe 5 - 7 years ago. You two are living an awesome life. So proud of you both
Its going to be an amazing i love that youre going to have bedrooms, but so many people build tiny cabins and then regret its not big enough later so please make it a goodsize for a family, you both work great together xx
This build is an inspiration. Thanks for sharing the process. 10’ ceilings!!
Now that’s teamwork well done looking great . All the best from outback Western Australia
Excellent content. Teamwork and prep is all. As a selfbuilder, it is satisfying to see the results of ones own work. Your cabin will be amazing. Thanks for posting best from the UK.
“Are you fake sleeping?” Thump thump thump. And his head sticking out looking at you- great shots and great progress on the build. Thank you for sharing.
That really looks good - A lot of planning - Smart...! Thanks for sharing - Stay safe... Loved seeing the lab....
Impressive on how quickly the lower part went up. Thanks for all the explanations of why you are doing what you have done. So many questions but I know they will be answered as the build goes on! Stay safe until next time.
WoW I watch a lot of CZcams and this is the best setup so far!!! YouTWO are great, be safe have fun!
Man its always exciting seeing the frame go up. All those weeks/months of work to just get a foundation and floor up and then in just a day or 2 Poof you can really start seeing your house! Looking great and thanks for sharing!
That is one of the best constructed cabins I have seen
im very impressed great job folks keep it up have a great week god bless 😁😁😁😇🤩🤩🤩
I know it's hard work but I can only imagine the sense of pride and satisfaction you must feel seeing your HOME start taking shape, especially built by yourself.
Excellent Construction Method
For Just 2 Individuals !
Thanks for Sharing !
Hard work from a great team! We build so much unused home
Today. I just love how well thought out you two are. Live YOUR dream because you work HARD.
Very satisfying to watch
Good morning guys and your A-frame is looking great so far and I really like how your doing the two section build. And once you guys but down the sub floor it is going to make it a lot easier to finish the rest of the top of the A-frame. . Can not wait to see the next video.
Great work. Side 4 x 8 plywood makes great shear wall to super stabilize structure. I watch Simple Living Alaska and they are super hard workers. You are equal to them and the best of all Alaska homesteaders. I really enjoy your show. Grew up in upstate NEW YORK AND SPENT SUMMERS HELPING MY UNCLE in Pennsylvania on his farm but that was 65 years ago. Keep the great videos coming!
Wow, it looks fabulous! You guys are kicking butt now. I hope you get it dried in quickly. You both seem to work well together. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.
Wow you guy's are good that looks so good very inventive to do it with just you two great job !!!
My back hurts just watching your progress…. Way to go….. really taking shape!
Nice the cabin is on it way! How exciting for you guys 😊
Fantastic.
Great planning gets you great execution.
I got a kick out of the "puppy" when he was awakened by the strap when you cut it off of the load of lumber. It is fun watching you build this cabin and I am waiting on the edge of my seat to watch the top half go up.
Take care, Be safe, Have some fun,
jack
Your 2 flew threw that !! Sweet job !! Going to be a gorgeous cabin.. the old one you can make into a barn and storage
Great to watch you two working together, you are doing an excellent job, it’s looking great so far. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice progress,I like the direction that you’re going!
Wow, how impressive. Y’all got an incredible amount of work done quickly.
Looking great and the videos get better and better.
Great team work and on sync. Well built cabin Katie and Chris. What your spending 9n material and insulation will benefit your heating expenditures. AMAZING WORK from Ontario, Canada
It looks wonderful! I know y’all are excited! Thanks for sharing!
It was very quick to install. You are one step closer to the finish. You have great skills. From Turkey with love.❤️❤️
Love it. Looks huge once the A’s are up. You work so well together.
Great teamwork. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the A-frames going up.
fantastic,planning and implementation,great work ethick,no all you need is to dig ponds swales etc,permaculture,re generative agriculture,well done❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, what great progress you two made on your cabin. The view will be awesome. Good job.
Absolutely one the best video’s I have watched. Very well planned and executed. Thank you for sharing.
The two of you work well together. Great progress.
Very enjoyable to watch you making your dream a reality. Fantastic progress. Can’t wait to see what you do with the cabin and the rest of your land
I watched my grandfather from Denmark they make everything strong he would approve (not that you need it). By the way really nice job I like your videos.
Wow that was amazing to watch. Y'all work so well together. Definitely well thought out plans. Love A-frames
Well done after cutting and fixing a hundred or so roofs, buttressed supports and mansards. I understand how difficult and energy sapping it can be. You’re doing good and you’re past the difficult stuff, keep safe and be careful to ensure the sway bracing does not come loose until you are corner to corner braced.
Great Job you two! You did your framing alot like we did for my 16 x 32 ft greenhouse, and it survived the earthquake of 2018.
Looking forward to the rest of the build.
Just found your channel and I am really appreciating how much thought and purpose you’re putting into everything you do! No 1/2 assing anything! The epitome of “if you’re going to do it, do it right the first time”. I love it! New subscriber from northern Mn! Keep doing what you’re doing!
I have serious Milwaukee envy watching you. Damn.
Well done!!
Wonderful how you work so well together, really enjoying sharing your progress.
whoa! fast and synchronized! I am hooked!
Hello! So glad as you must be that you have started on your home. My home is a 30 X 30, 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom home in a small village in upstate NY. It is big enough that my three children had their own room and we were quite comfortable. Life changes as the kid grow older and leave for the start of their own life. Now the rooms are a sewing/quilting room and an office. That's plenty of room for the grandkids and dogs. I am unsure if I like an A-Frame but your frame seems to have plenty of space and storage. I saw a Canadian A-Frame you-tube video that was just as large as yours. The couple who are building it have added 2 large dormers on each side of the main frame. One is the entrance which has a large closet on the second floor. The other, I believe holds the downstairs bathroom. The dormers make up for the loss of space in the walls. So many designs for A-Frame I am learning about. Sending my hopes for a successful build.
Beautiful, so excited to see you building your dream!! Hard work pays off, you are off to a great start, so well thought out, you seem to work really well together!! Can't wait to see the progress of your new cabin 🙂
AWESOME!!!! You guys are so good! I bet you found muscles you didn't know you had! And fell in bed exhausted each night. I am beyond impressed with how well you work so well together. That last bit was ALOT scary. I had shaky legs :) I absolutely LOVE your supervisor!!! ( Although he was sleeping on the job a bit at the end :) ) SO CUTE!!! Your home is going to be well made and very cool!!!
my folks and i have always built our own home so i know what you are going through. it is a lot of work but well worth it in the end. the no.1 advantage is you don't have 30yrs of debt to pay off if you had a contractor do it for you! good luck with the mosquitos!
Beautiful design and work ya’ll. Amazing. I hope you’re pleased as you should be!!
Nice templates, Chris. Templates are so effective for speed and consistency. Nice progress and nice job. Love the preciseness.
WOW DIDN'T GET DARK AT 11 PM. THATS INTERESTING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND HOUSE. GREAT JOB.
So far you have done a great job, just the two of you, great work😅😅
Great Job! That is going to be one solid A-Frame.
Very impressive….going to be so rewarding know you have achieved all buildings yourself….good job….thoughts from Scotland….
Dam I always knew you two had a lot of grit. However this was truly a lot of work. You two had to have been sore building everything by yourselves. No complaining just working for the goal. Very impressive job. Just shows what you can do if you want something bad enough. Great video thank you for sharing your lives with us ❤.
Fantastic job👏👏👏👏
I love watching you two, plus one!
Y’all have done amazing! Look forward to see the next episode.
Impressed with your knowledge and skills.
Screaming out for Milwaukie sponsorship. Personally not a fan of their tools but this video deserves it. Best wishes.
Looking great, can't wait for the next video. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to both of you.
You both are great teammates
You guys kicked butt with the framing keep it up and see you next time
It's coming together, Great job guys!! I cant wait to see the next video !
