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!

In this episode, we bring up our compost toilet and drill a hole into our floor to pass the ventilation tube. We also varnish our first floor with 3 coats of oil-based varnish to protect the white pine boards. We install a more permanent door-stop molding and seal up some cracks. We then decorate for Christmas by making an evergreen wreath and putting some lights in a small Christmas tree. We finish up by sharing with you the story of when we first met and what our Christmas eve tradition is.

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.
