Building a 1500 sq.ft off-grid cabin: Finishing the interior

This 1500sq ft. cabin was built in the mountains and wilderness near Golden British Columbia Canada in just 56 days, with an additional 40 spent on the interior. The cabin will be off-grid and powered using a 9 KW home-made hydro generator located on the properties small creek.

I will be releasing individual videos that take a deeper dive into each aspect covered in this summary on a more scheduled basis as to not leave you hanging for *another* 8 months.

FULL STORY

My Grandfather and master log worker decided he would be building one last off-grid cabin as he gets older. My brother, seizing the opportunity purchased land in the Canadian Rockies so that the three of us could embark on this huge project together.

It began last fall with me and my grandfather arriving at a clear building site. Me being very ignorant to the arduous journey ahead. I purchased a crane, my brother purchased the logs and we were off. it took 56 full days in a row to erect the walls and roof of the cabin.

As soon as they were built we packed up and left faster than we arrived. Canada then experienced one of the coldest winters on record with no trips taken out to the shell of the cabin until May 1st.

Me and my brother arrived back at the cabin with an entirely new mind set, and so did my Grandfather. We got to work hard, with the valley waking up from its winter hibernation all around us. We had a resident black bear that kept us company, and a swallow that took a particular liking to me.

Building this off-grid cabin was difficult, it was long, and it was an experience like none other. As the largest project (by far) that I have ever completed it has been a blessing and a honour to share the experience with you, and so many of you at that.
