It's a mess to put up and if things don't line up, it's a pain. I started with this and I thought it would save time and we'd slam up 4x8 pieces without any problems, but I was wrong. DON'T use thin plywood as your interior.But to see a thing you built come to life is the greatest gift you can give yourself in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the cabin is awesome, but heck, an extra 5-10 feet in both directions would have been a game changer and made it a little more habitable. The most major lesson learned is I should have gone bigger. And a lot of my really close friends came through and did me a huge solid too. I honestly couldn’t have done it without my pal Richard. Well first it’s important to note labor was essentially free.
*Includes a $600 generator, $955 for GSTOVE Canada stove, $1310 for Nature’s Head Composting Toilet, $400 for MEC climbing holds Looking back, what is your biggest lesson learned? Transportation Costs: $320 CAD / $244 USD Which is about $106 per square foot, as the cabin is basically a 10x10' box. The total cost for the build alone ended up being $10,632 CAD / $8,012 USD, not including land.
#STONEHEARTH ALPHA 24 HOW TO BUILD FULL#
Thus far, it's been about 35-40 full days of work. Looking on the internet, there wasn't a ton on actually building an A-Frame (without buying a prefab from Matti or something), so as a natural continuation of the woodworking I've been doing the past few years I set out to build a cabin in Low, Quebec, about an hour from where I live. My name is Andrew, I skateboard, work for the Coast Guard and do a bit of woodworking in the evenings. Please introduce yourself and your project. Then he started building an A-Frame cabin, and I felt like I found my soul mate.Īs the project progressed, I got in touch with Andrew, and now, nearly a year since the build began, we’re psyched to share a Q&A with the man himself, along with some exclusive photos and valuable insight for all you DIY dreamers out there. His videos of making knives, canoe paddles, and furniture out of recycled skateboards caught my eye. A while back a friend DM’ed me the Instagram profile of Andrew Szeto, an Ottawa, Ontario-based skater, outdoorsman, and wood worker.
