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 carry up many more floorboards to finish the first floor of the cabin. Since these boards were bought rough cut, we use a hand planer to smooth them out. We also use our planer to adjust the edges of the boards to minimize the gap between adjacent floorboards. To increase the heat retention of the cabin and reduce drafts, we stuff the outside cracks of the logs with more rock wool. Finally, we get started cutting more trees. These smaller trees will be used for the walls of our bathroom and the structure of the kitchen counter.

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.
