Canadian Couple Builds Their DREAM Home with HANDTOOLS! (Tiny Log Cabin in the Forest, FULL BUILD)

Well guys. I’m from the U.K., I’m 60 years old and I’ve just sat and watched this 2.5hr building marathon and couldn’t stop watching. You both should be extremely proud of what you’ve achieved here. Even your parents and families should be proud too. Nobody since a long era ago have built houses with hand tools. I admire you both for your stamina and the duration this build must have taken. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. I look forward to seeing the day you hear the laughter of children too, enjoying the fruits of your hard labour. Well done again guys

Thank you for not putting loud useless music in your videos. It’s such a pleasure being able to hear the sounds of the Forest and the sound of your hand saw cutting into the wood. How quietly you work together your like a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

Thanks for the great video. Im 64 years old from New Zealand and I like the previous commenteer, I could not stop watching once I started. Keep up the good work and everything of the best for you guys future.

I also believe you two have cemented a bond between you that will last forever. I could not help thinking as I watched what a wonderful experience two young people could have together, to build the house together they will raise their family in and share their love for a life time. It is truly amazing and wonderful. Congratulations to you both.

I'm a retired 65 year old man and a master Carpenter, and I'm very impressed! Especially with hand tools and no power! I know talent and a gift when I see it! Unbelievable!

My wife and I watch this together I've watched it twice now. I worked construction most of my life mostly as a roofer. But I have framed Carried hod, laid brick poured foundations, done a little bit of everything. I am really really impressed with the job you guys did as a team together. You did it the old school way. I am 55 and I remember having to hand nail no pneumatic nailers. But you guys did it the way the Pioneers would have done it. I know strong grown men that would have been whining and complaining the whole time. You have a beautiful home now. And those wonderful memories to always share together. A couple that can survive doing that together, you all will be able to survive whatever this world throws at you. Well-done, I tip my hat to you both.100%

Your craftsmanship, your teamwork, your attention to detail, your creativity, etc, etc, etc, is incredible. It is such a blessing that you have documented this and shared it with your YouTube audience as well as family and friends. It is truly inspiring!

You both for sure are soulmates, having persevered together the build of this scale. To top it off with just a few hand tools. You both are such an inspiration to many young talented people. God bless your marriage forever and ever!

Your teamwork is a model for every couple. Your planning and quality of construction will doubtlessly enrich your own lives but also, if you raise a family, the lives of your children and your grandchildren long after you're gone. Blessings on you and them for sharing your experience with the rest of us and brightening our worlds.

I’m a 76 year old women, and I loved watching these two amazing young people, working so hard. And what a fabulous job they did. So far removed from the way cabins and houses are built today. It looks beautiful, you should both be very proud of your selves. Such hard work without power tools. 💪💪 Watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨

With hand tools, WOAH, I am going to sitdown and watch every second of this like an epic movie later on today!

It’s awesome to watch a couple work together as a team and build their dream

I have been building for over 45 years, and I am speechless right now. What you two have accomplished is beyond words. I stumbled across this video by accident, and two and a half hours later I am humbled by what you guys did. You should be so proud of your accomplishment. 99% of todays couples would NEVER even try something like this. Great Job, what a story for your children and perhaps grandchildren someday...FANTASTIC WORK YOU TWO!!!!!

I don't know what impresses me more, the off grid build, the cinematography or the amiable way you two work together. Well done!!

As a Canadian for 83 years I have to say you two are a fine example of the pioneer spirit. Congrats cmacshack

Way to Go! It's so comforting to know there are younger people out there that get it. Thank you

I am a retired builder, and I can say without a doubt, you both are master craftspersons. I am in awe of your skill and endurance. Very very well done, you both should be beyond proud. WOW

I'm 65 and live in Montana USA. My husband and I did many building projects in our 20 years together, but never anything so grand as this! You two did an amazing job!! And sir, you are blessed to have a wife capable of dealing with heights. I could go up maybe ten feet on a ladder and that was about it. She is to be commended! Congratulations on a job very well done and may you enjoy your home for many decades to come!❤

You are both to be congratulated on your commitment and initiative in building your cabin. I am 77 and have worked with wood in one way or anther for many years. I have spent 2.5 hours of pure enjoyment watching the way you work together, sharing all the various tasks. I commend your tenacity. Obviously you have only shown a section of each task necessary, e.g. cutting down the trees and stripping off the bark, this in itself a major undertaking to provide all the timber necessary. Equally, I commend you on the quality of your videos, which in my opinion is of a professional standard. May you both enjoy many years of life together in this beautiful home that you have created.

my father told me "anything worth doing is a labor of love." I say today at fifty four years old, nothing worth doing is easy. I like seeing your cuts evolve as you go. great job you two.
