Back at the Island! This trip was supposed to be 2 weeks but car repairs and my back delayed us leaving so it only ended up being 1. Was still able to get a lot of progress done on the cabin, the walls should be completed in the next few trips and then it will be time to start working on the roof!
Also thank you to Skil for once again being our tool sponsor for 2026!
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.
