Hello, my name is Matt Jacobs. When I was 20 years old I decided to build my dream off grid log house, all by myself, in the middle of a forest.
In this video I'll show you my one year of building a simple traditional log cabin walls alone with hand tools from start to finish. The next phase is to build the roof, install the windows, make the doors, finish the floor, get a dog, and much more!
