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 off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!

In this episode, we return from Iceland and start working again on the cabin. We harvested a dead fall balsam fir in July, and we use it to build a post for the second floor. Not only will it support the railing, but it also helps distribute the roof load better. We then attached a railing and made balusters from branches we found around the cabin. We also give an update on Nick's injury. He should be out of his cast soon!

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.
