Man Builds HUGE Amazing LOG HOUSE From Crooked Trees in 9 months - Full Build (TIMELAPSE)

God gave me trees so I built a Log Cabin. Inexpensive debt free MASSIVE Off Grid Log Cabin Build start to finish timelapse. Building with crooked logs is a challenge in every way. Not to mention every single log was Persimmon. They are so dense a 6 inch diameter 8ft long log section can weigh 300lb They make everything difficult, but they cost me nothing and I learned to love them for what they are. It definitely makes my home look unique. They were free because they were going to be bulldozed and burned by the landowner. As long as I cut them and dragged them off by myself I could use them. It’s hard to believe that it only took me 9 months of hard work to make it live in ready. Here I’ve put together a timelapse of the last year of building, hundreds of hours of footage cut into about a 30 min video. I’ve done a lot of work to get the cabin to where it is now, and I thought it would be nice to have a video showing everything from start until now. Watching the shorter episodes, gives a completely different understanding of how the building was done. There will be more long form videos on the full build with even more detail coming soon. If there are any key moments in the build you would like to see more of please let me know in the comments section below. More work on the homestead will be coming soon, finishing the chinking with mortar, interior doors, building a greenhouse, harvesting fish from our pond, building a dog trot connecting both cabins, rainwater catchment for the house, solar, and tuned.
