Finally, I’m building my workshop in the forest with wood harvested from my property in the Canadian wilderness. In episode 1, I pour concrete footings and carry 6×6 timbers into place to begin building the log cabin/timber frame wooden building next to the newly dug pond, in sight of my hand built log cabin.
Again, this guy is a millionaire, so he has the cash to do this stuff. But it give us all an idea of the possibilities.
As a builder I can tell you that having skills and doing as much labor as possible gives a tremendous financial advantage. I should be purchasing 20-100 acres in Maine before the end of the year where I will build my off grid homestead. I have a 5 year plan to retire on a self sustaining farm of my own (possibly another 2-3 families if the property is suitable). Hopefully I can find some other tradesmen to barter some work with.
The way things are going I might need to get into the woods sooner for my own sanity.

Wanted to keep it easy to heat in the winter.
