Building a DIY Cabin with Friends, from Start to Finish

Lloyd, you had taken an interest, and shared, an old cabin build video of ours.

A friend of mine just cut together an updated video that actually shows the cabin interior being finished. The old one stopped when the exterior was done. This video also focuses more on the cabin build proper than the summer camp vibes.

Just wanted to share. Hope things are well and VERY much enjoyed all of your shares from the recent Baja trip.

  1. Many hands make for a lighter labor, and as I grow older, I realize that sometimes measuring more than twice can save a lot of money ;-).
