https://noxl.ink/_tgwa2 Im using XPS to insulate the ground this will keep the ground from freezing around my foundations preventing frost heave from moving the cabin over time. This is important with the pillar foundations I have as the frost line is so deep here in Finland.
This trip was a lot of moving stuff, both to the island as well as ground so the insulation can lay flat on it. I was a little concerned this video would be to boring because I wasnt actually building with logs, but this is an important part of the process and we still had a lot of fun out on the island even though the days are soooooo short.
More about us, the island and the process:
The island is completely secluded, has no electricity or plumbing and currently has nothing on it but trees. We want to turn this island into a fully functioning summer cottage with a log cabin, sauna and other amenities. Most of the work is gonna be done in the summer months as the lake freezes in the winter and the weather conditions are tough.
There's a lot of work to be done as the island is over 2.5 acres (1 hectare) and we have no experience in off-grid living, carpentry or building. So any tips or advice are greatly appreciated, as we are planning on doing everything ourselves and transforming the island into our own little paradise. We’ll document every step of the way, starting from smaller builds to finally - an off-grid log cabin.
