An Original Off Grid Cabin | Ep. 8 | Wood Stove, Wood Floors - We Have Fire!
Spent a couple days at the cabin working on front door trim and finishing the door itself. Just need to add some weather stripping now.
Weather was cold enough to light wood stove and have first fire in cabin. Good news is the chimney and stove pipe works great and I didn’t burn the cabin down.
Worked on wood flooring as well.

An Original Off Grid Cabin | Ep. 7 | Doors, Barn Doors and Getting Dried In
Was able to build and install front door. Barn doors were built but I didn’t have right size ratchet with me to install tracks. That will have to wait until next video.
Chimney and stove pipe were connected on wood stove but still too warm to start a fire.

An Original Off Grid Cabin | Ep. 6 | It's Getting Cold, Stove Almost Ready
Finished front porch roof and then moved inside to work on getting the wall, rafters and ceiling all tied together. Made some shutters for windows. Moved stove into place but lacked about a foot of pipe so that will have to wait for next time.

An Original Off Grid Cabin | Ep. 5 | Light at the Cabin, Stone Finished, Porch Roof Started
Finally completed stone wall behind where the stove will be installed. It took a bit longer than expected probably since I’ve never done stone before. Overall, I’m happy with how it turned out.
Installed some rope pendant lights so I can now work at night on interior.
Front porch roof was also started.

An Original Off Grid Cabin | Part 2 | Ep. 4 | Fire (Shou Sugi Ban), Wood (Floor) and Stone (Wall)
Started wood floors for cabin using 2x8’s. Burned them to give them a darker, antique appearance.
Stone wall behind fireplace was also started using stone from creek bed and around property. Definitely a learning experience but I think it’s going to turn out well! Laying the stone, letting the mortar set and then smoothing is a process that will continue into next video.
