Welcome to our channel! This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. Our goal is to build a tiny log cabin from scratch using as much material from our land as possible. We are building it entirely using hand tools (no chainsaw!). This cabin will function fully offgrid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!

In this episode, winter finally hits. It took a while to arrive, but it arrived very fast. The cabin held up very well during the first snow storm. We also spend our first night in the cabin!! We arrived late one afternoon and had to frantically fill in all the gaps of the logs with mineral wool insulation to avoid freezing overnight. We managed to do it and our wood stove kept us warm overnight. We also take apart an old structure on our land to use as floorboards for our wood shed. Lastly, we carry up white pine boards that were roughcut and use a hand planer to get them smooth. These boards will be installed on the 2nd floor of the cabin.

We are learning a lot as we are doing (as always), so don't hesitate if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure to share tips and tricks, if possible.
