Off Grid Log Home Addition | Tiny House Renovation using Hand Tools
#offgrid #logcabin #tinyhouse
It's time to add on to the off grid log cabin to make it more comfortable for year round, tiny house living, especially in the summer when it's hot inside the loft of the cabin and the bugs are bad outside.
I'm working alone in the forest again, climbing on the roof of the cabin, carrying logs on my shoulders and using hand tools to build an addition for eating, sleeping when it's hot and storing wood and other supplies - it feels like 2017 again when I built the first cabin here on the homestead.

Forest soundscapes combine multiple elements - birdsong, rustling leaves, and ambient life - that trigger what biologists call 'biophilia,' the innate human connection to nature.
