In this episode, fall colors are in full swing! The forest is so beautiful this time of year. We start by removing the bug screens form the porch; we won't be needing them until next spring! We then dig a greywater drainage pit. This pit will drain the water form our shower into the earth. We then build another dresser for the 2nd floor mezzanine and a shelf for more storage up there. We finish the mortar chinking on the interior of the cabin and can finally put nice trim around the ground floor windows. We also finally gave in and purchased an electric chainsaw... We felt that we had no other choice if we wanted to harvest enough firewood for this winter.

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!
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.
