We are back on the island after six months of doing my mandatory military service in Finland! We missed you guys so much and we are so excited to get back working on the island and getting that cabin done. The main focus this trip was cleaning everything up and getting it back to running condition so that we can start building the cabin as fast as possible. Thanks for your patience now that the army is done and we're both done with school, we can focus on the cabin full-time.

More about us, the island and the process:
The island is completely secluded, has no electricity or plumbing and currently has nothing on it but trees. We want to turn this island into a fully functioning summer cottage with a log cabin, sauna and other amenities. Most of the work is gonna be done in the summer months as the lake freezes in the winter and the weather conditions are tough.
There's a lot of work to be done as the island is over 2.5 acres (1 hectare) and we have no experience in off-grid living, carpentry or building. So any tips or advice are greatly appreciated, as we are planning on doing everything ourselves and transforming the island into our own little paradise. We’ll document every step of the way, starting from smaller builds to finally - an off-grid log cabin.
