Building Front Door for Small Cabin! | First Meal, Special Deliveries Ep10

In this episode we work hard to seal up the off grid small cabin from the elements with a custom build door. As always we are using our HD36 Norwood Portable Sawmill. We are now working on the outhouse:    • Building Outhouse at Off Grid Cabin i...

As the cabin warms, we also take advantage of the luxury of making our first warm meal on the wood stove: rabbit stew and Kevin makes himself an egg sandwich.

A big struggle with our cabin is keeping it warm using natural materials that are inherently leaky. So we really need to close in all the gaps and get the windows in.

Whenever we run out of lumber, we just mill more wood from trees that are right on the property. We'll use handtools like hammers, axes, saw, shovels and prybars, but will also use power tools including chainsaws, winches, atv's, and a chopped up SUV whenever it is convenient.

We will be using cedar and spruce trees that are standing dead so we don't have to kiln dry the wood or let it season.

Please follow along with the full playlist in order to understand the full construction of the tiny cabin.

In this series we use materials around us to construct a small forest cabin.

We'll use cedar, pine, ash, maple, and whatever else we can scrounge up from the 30 acres around us. The aim is to avoid using as much store bought material as possible and keep the budget reasonably low.

Originally we set a budget of $1000, but that included the use of a frame from an old camper trailer. As we build, the budget will remain flexible in effort to produce a cabin that we are proud of and one that will last a long while, be comfortable, and sleep real human beings.
