Full Build of a Tiny Home Cabin

Cool build! Whats the total cost?

I am a long- time builder in N. California. Conventional framing, ICF block, steel buildings ect. I absolutely loved this video! The cabin & design itself, watching you & you guys bust your ass. I am 60 now & you’ve inspired me to find another challenging project & start it. Thanks Tom

I am in my 30s living in eastern asia with absolutely zero desire to build a cabin in the woods, but i loved watching this video. The directions in the beginning and end, purpose and meaning driven narrative, and calm editing was delightful to watch. Thanks for creating such a enjoyable clip!

I've been thinking about this all weekend and I have to admit it looks great and the price is great but there are a ton of issues with this build from a safety and engineering point of view. The local building codes must be very lax to allow this. 1. The entire envelope is missing a vapor barrier. 2. No insulation in the walls. 3. It's a fire hazard - aluminum wiring is illegal for a reason - it expands and contracts to the point it wiggles itself free from connection points. The wood siding is flammable and since the walls are hollow, they will feed the wood fire. The whole thing is a tinder box with cheap wiring. What's more is the electrical panel is beside THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE. If the panel catches fire and you're in the loft, your stair is over the fire and you need to jump, but the door out is also next to the panel and the only other door is the patio... man this a death trap. 4. No AC - when combined with the lack of insulation and vapor barrier, that means that this place will have constant moisture and humidity issues which could lead to mold growth. 5. Single pane uninsulated, unsealed windows. Drafty and will probably result in dew formation on the windows in the early morning plus allows for bugs and stuff to get in. 6. The upper level windows don't open, so all the hot humid air rises up and stays there with no way to vent out up there. Does that ceiling fan help enough? 7. No blinds or shades on a west facing window. So again heat and humid at sunset with no way to vent except the level 1 windows. 8. No exhaust vent at the stove. This is a code violation in many areas. Does the bathroom have a ceiling fan? Cooking and pooping smells might be an issue. 9. No guardrails at the deck. Looks sick but dangerous. 10. Does the roof leak yet? You have unsealed screws penetrating the sheet metal but you don't have a waterproofing barrier. I'd recommend you atleast get up there and seal every single screw point. 11. Thermal bridging everywhere - expecially the window frames. This is more of a tent/ shed than a house by modern safety and engineering standards imo. While impressive, there will be serious issues in 5-10 years, if it doesn't burn down first.

This build is a dream. Its modern style, natural elements, the glass, and place in the jungle looking over the canopy to the ocean. Well done to everyone involved. You really accomplished something special.

As an architect who currently building my apartment from scratch. iam amazed by the amount of creativity, effort and dedication u had for this project ! I am a big lover of cabin design and i have to say that yours….. damn man… such a cool one !!! Very minimalist with a nice colors/materialts panel, you get the best communication with the nature and that make it perfect 🤩 😊 Such a great job man, i really mean it 😊

Congratulations man! And kudos to those men who helped you bring this project to life, it's hard to find trustworthy and hardworking men who will stick to you up to the last day of the project!

This is ridiculously insane, that location, my jaw literally dropped seeing the final results.

I have been so intimidated to start this process... thank you for showing all of these steps!! I feel less scared to start now!

To be honest i didn't wanted to video to end . Great job done . Filming to building to narrating . I'm also a diy lover . And i very very enjoyed the full build . I wanted to build a tiny house since for ever . But the dream faded with time . And watching your video kinda reignited that fire inside me . Am living currently in algeria . And summer is on the door and this summer . I will be starting the build i assure you 😂 . Thanks a lot

You've done an incredible job, especially tackling construction in an unfamiliar place. It's clear you've put your heart and soul into it. May your time in the cabin be filled with unforgettable moments. Watching your journey has ignited a dream of mine to own a cozy cabin someday. Thanks for the inspiration!

3.5 months!! Incredible, man. Hats-off to the crew, and their work ethic.

Un trabajo de construcción con CERO MEDIDAS DE SEGURIDAD para tus trabajadores, que estoy segura, contrataste de manera informal y a bajo costo. Impresentable. Lo debes tener tan normalizado que muestras esto sin ningún pudor.

Re the end of the vid.... Worth every second.

Beautifully designed and skillfully crafted. So. Much. Hard. Work. Loved seeing people working together for this stellar result.

That toilet shot was sublime

Your cabin is a work of art, and I know you are going to have many years of enjoyment in it. Just don't walk off that deck when you're communing with Grandmother.

No other words to describe this built.... Just brilliant. The environment, location and the view... Wow factor. Is a place for healing..... Thanks for sharing.

I love the video! From the fact that you go out of your way to thank every worker involved, to seeing that you actually was personally involved in every aspect of the build! Very inspiring! Thank you!

OHMYGOSH!! The Team was perfectly magnificent!
