Channel Title: My personal journal outdoor Channel Description: My name is Roman and my videos are more about construction. I have a small plot in the woods where I am learning to build. The main goal of my videos is not to teach you something, but to help you get distracted and enjoy nature. <video> 6 months building cabin in the woods, off grid house start to finish Description: It's time to publish the complete construction of my cabin in the woods. The cabin has a stove, which means you can keep warm in any weather. The cabin has a bed and a table, which means there is a place to sit and sleep, there is a table for eating and cooking. All this I consider the basis for a comfortable stay in this forest cabin, and all the rest is small refinements and improvements, which I will do gradually. There were a total of 25 working days. If you count the days when I didn't work, it was 6 months. I started building the cabin in the last days of spring. Note that before that, I had never built before and had no idea if it would work out or not. It was a good start.

When I had a well dug on my wooded property, it was a celebration. Now my task is to make it pleasing to the eye and easy to use. 00:00 Making a soft paving around the well 05:43 roofing over the well 19:40 lining with stone 28:02 homemade bucket gate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypersjournal/ </video> <video> I Built A Handcrafted Off-Grid Cabin In The Woods Description: The construction of the cabin in the woods continues. It's time for the external finishing of the walls. I do everything according to the standard. First, I cover the frame of the house with a membrane, which will serve as windproofing and moisture protection. After that, I nail the planks. They will help to fix the boards of the main trim on them.

In this video I share the process: from the first steps to the unfinished shelter. This is a story not about the final result, but about how far you can go alone. Wood, simple materials and a little patience - join me to see what happened!

I was already planning to try to build a bigger cabin, I guess it's time. Let me try to answer some possible questions. 1. How did the materials get there? It's simple. It was brought in by car. There is a dirt road. 2. Did you build all this in 19 hours? No. 19 working hours were spent working with wood. In terms of days, that's 4 days. 3. Where did you get your skills? Did you study somewhere? I didn't study anywhere. I saw everything on YouTube. 4. Do you live there? No. But I often come for a few days.

I want to make a small kitchen with a sink and nightstands. I made the sink out of pine logs. Not perfect, but it will fulfill its function. All this I do for the first time, so enjoy the view everyone! 0:00 intro 0:14 delicious breakfast in the hut 1:53 frame for a cabinet made of planks 4:10 making a sink out of logs 10:44 making a simple table top 15:18 continuing to carve the sink 18:28 shelf under the sink Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypersjournal/ </video> <video> I built this in 412 days with no skills, Off grid cabin with kitchen, Shed and toilet Description: More than a year has passed since the construction of the dacha plot began. A lot of things have been studied. Some things work out and some things don't. There is a small cabin, a shed and a toilet on the property. In the beginning it seemed that this is not a real plan, because I have never built anything before. Now I know for sure that if you want something, you have to try and it will all work out. 01:10 start of cabin construction 19:21 installation of the stove in the house 21:16 I make a bed and a table (it snowed) 25:45 hanging curtains on the windows 26:19 I start building a shed 43:58 making a window and a door 59:15 boxes for nails 01:05:59 kitchen for the house 01:20:58 wooden shelves and homemade sink 01:25:23 steps for the barn 01:28:17 building a toilet on the site Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypersjournal/ #cabin #solobuilds #foresthouse </video> <video> Cozy Winter Tiny House: A Forest Dweller's Dream Description: Building a big house in the woods has been put on pause. I need to tidy up the plot a bit. Here's how I started building: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYYOOB1h6Y3Lax-wcYVVdWAjvXeMow5Fd #lifevlesu #buildingaizba #cozyhouse #housevlesu #beautifulhouse #housevlesu #beautifulhouse #buildingaframehouse #interiorvizba #livinginthecountryside #twodayvlesu </video> <video> Off grid cabin building in the woods, start to finish no talking Description: Finally finished a small storage area near the cabin that will probably serve as a workshop on occasion. I have always lacked a place to store scraps of boards and other materials. Now I have such a place. My cozy cabin in the woods is expanding. There is still a lot of work ahead. I hope that I will be able to make this forest plot a cozy place.

My cabin in the woods looks even cozier during the snowfall, and the stove gives the warmth I need. Last time I made a bed and it's time to make a small table. I decided to make the legs of the table shaped, so that somehow it differs from the majority. I am working on the house slowly, because everything you see I am doing for the first time, trying some joining techniques.

Organizing the space really helps. I also oiled and waxed the sink and finally installed it (I carved the sink out of a pine log last issue). I also made normal steps for the shed for the first time, which were also lacking. 0:00 on this episode 0:22 rainy morning in the cabin 1:04 firewood for the stove 2:39 handles for the cabinet under the sink 3:22 making hinged shelves 7:23 a quick cleanup and lunch 8:56 it started raining hard with a thunderstorm 9:46 unpacking the sink 10:34 applying wax oil to the homemade sink 12:33 storage containers for salt, sacha and other things 15:15 making another shelf for the cabin 18:21 installing the sink 21:40 making steps for the shed Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypersjournal/ </video> <video> I Spent 8 Days on the ROOF Building My Dream Wooden House Description: For those who are seeing my episodes for the first time, let me share a brief story. Before creating my YouTube channel, I had never dealt with house construction or anything related to it. I had absolutely no skills in working with wood. The house with orange accents that you can see in the episode is my very first house ever. As the amount of materials and tools grew, I needed a place to store them. So, I built a small shed with a gable roof. Over time, I realized I should try building something bigger. I assembled the first house using only hand tools, but for this house, I’m using a circular saw (without it, the process would have dragged on for months). Thank you for joining my journey! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypersjournal/ cabinbuild #solobuilds </video> <video> Out house near the cabin in the woods Description: A toilet has finally appeared near my forest cabin. We all know how much we need this building. I had some scraps of boards left over from building a shed and decided to use them here. The form factor isn't very conventional and I like that. I didn't quite have enough time to finish the toilet completely, but the basic work is done. 0:16 preparing for work 1:25 burying the concrete toilet ring 4:28 burning logs on the fire for the floor 6:52 assembling the floor using a new method (for me) 11:58 simple frame for the toilet 13:58 bird's nest under the shed roof 14:23 cooking lunch in the cabin 15:56 roof 16:37 evening and overnight stay 17:32 morning and assembling the walls 20:59 installing the toilet. 21:34 making the inner wall and simple doors. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypersjournal/ </video> <video> Building a huge cabin with my own hands Description: The foundation is ready and it's time to build the walls. This house is many times bigger than the previous one and the materials I am working with are also bigger. The walls are made of 150"50 boards, and the lags on the roof are 200"50. I want to make a large space under the ceiling without beams, that's why I decided on a single-pitched roof (and just such roofs I like more). The highest point of the house is 3 meters and 70 centimeters and it is from this side I plan to make another sleeping place (if I do not change my mind). The boards for the first house I cut with a hand saw, but in this case I use a cordless circular saw. Thank you all for the nice words and for the words of support, for me it is the best reward and praise.

I need to finish the windows and hang curtains so that passers-by won't be able to see the cabin from the inside. I tried a planer for the first time and loved it. If you have any tips, be sure to write.
