Building a Cozy Cabin In The Woods I Start To Finish

In 2023 I build a guest cabin at my off-grid homestead using mostly super sustainable materials like wooden fiber insulation, offcuts from the sawmill and oak logs for the pillar foundation. The windows are produced locally with wood from a forest nearby. Since all the wood is non-toxic and natural I use the yakisugi-method (burnt wood method) for some of the wood. I also use linseed oil to give it a protective and flexible membrane agains moisture. I made the terrace with used terrace boards from my neighbour.
