BUILDING AN ISLAND LOG CABIN WITH MY DAD!

We are back on the island and this week my dad came to visit! We ended up spending six days on the island. We did a lot of smaller annoying things that just had to be done, while it was absolutely pouring rain. Once the rain settled down a little bit, it was time to get to work on the sauna cabin. We are able to get a good amount of progress done and figure out a new way to lift logs up onto the cabin! Not only is it easier but it's also safer plus it'll work when the walls get tall. If you want to real time update, follow us on our Instagram and Patreon! More about us, the island and the process: 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. 📸 Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @off.grid.island 🇫🇮 @off.grid.saari
