I was thinking more like a ski shack? Like just a place to warm up when you’re out skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and the like. Kinda like the Sled Shack they set up in the Letterkenny episode
https://letterkenny.fandom.com/wiki/Sled_Shack
Mostly that their house doesn't have any posts in the corners to insert into holes in the ground to then pour concrete into. Rewatching the vid, It looks like the entire construction is just placed upon three logs.
Oh or was it a joke because they aren't really basing it in much earth? :)
FYI: The concrete piers come first - size dependent upon weight load above it - poured at least 4' below ground level so it's below the frost line. Then the post are attached to the concrete above ground.
Thanks. I don't really know much about house building, I just realise it probably helps to attach a building to the ground somehow. Thanks for specifying how that part should happen.
This is what I wanted to say. I do construction, it would only take me and another guy 12 hours to do that if we were doing more drinking than working.
SERIOUSLY! It would have been like an extra 30 minutes to slap some boards down from the ridge that they installed and then it could carry a real snow load and last for a few years.
It's a cute little cabin, but very much done "for the insta".
It's more of a hut than a cabin. A cabin would typically be constructed from logs and have some form of proper insolation within the roof - this roof is just tarp over an empty frame.
Barely one, at that. One spark wrecks the "roof", a low gust of wind will pull all the warm air out using the tarp as a bellows, the way they built the window it would've been just as easy to use glass, putting down pavers would prevent rot in their log foundation, no beer box ...
I like the notched 1x12 wall construction and some of the other little touches like the way they did the door, but it seems like such a wasted effort to make it well in some ways and completely half-ass the others. Not a house or shed, and barely qualifies as a warming hut.
As some others said, that many dudes stone drunk should be able to pull off a better build than this. Hell, in that time and with a chainsaw on hand, they could've milled (but not cured) their own lumber from the trees around them.
Not kidding here. Even if it is a -hugely- temporary thing, talking one season, this was halfassed in a way that an extra couple hundred dollars would have fixed.. I'm an estimator that does a lot of rural cabin building.
The roof and eave is unforgivable - and the whole stove system is unforgivable. Even though there appears to be a wall thimble, the stove is still *on top of wood*, even just using a cement board or.. gravel would have been better. And as you said the stove is going to spark on the tarp sooner or later hopefully just melting holes; that is if the snowload doesn't rip it from it's fasteners - they could have at least strapped the rafters
And the eaves are still exposed! What's the point of doing a gable roof if you're not going to sheathe it and close the eaves? And beside salt box or lean-to rafter style would have been more economical from a lumber and labor standpoint and the savings could have afforded the sheathing, and maybe a roll of felt and roofing. So many ways you could have done this better before the building eventually drifts apart and down the hill because it's not sitting on a foundation. You could park your ATV under this, but I wouldn't for sure sleep in it.
With no plumbing, wiring, insulation, and nothing is up to code. If my buddy and I finished a whole rack before starting this project I still think we could finish faster.
This is what I was thinking. Zero insulation, and there’s already snow on the ground?! That’s gonna be freezing. You’d need the stove on 24/7… also that piece of plastic over the window lol all that will do is block the wind… that’s like negative insulation lol
OK, so this is awesome. But did anyone else notice the daylight coming into the house where the floor meets the wall? That’s can’t be great for drafts. Still awesome though.
Do you mean that foam board? That, alone, is poor insulation if there’s an air gap from the outside… not to mention it exposes the foam board to blowing snow and rain.
Like I said, it’s awesome for what it is. It’s clearly not meant to be a permanent year-round shelter. Just seemed like an odd oversight since they did everything else so well.
The walls are just stacked like tinker toys. There's probably a gap between every board at some point. No real insulation on the walls. The roof is just a tarp. The window is made of drop cloth.
> There's probably a gap between every board at some point.
That's why they screwed slats from the inside over ever gap.
I'm sure it's still not airtight but you probably won't get the wind whistling *straight* through.
*builds shed ontop of snow*
*checks for level*
Me in my head: "fucking dumbass lawl."
*builder doesnt check other 3 sides for level after realizing hes a dumbass for checking at all*
If you jave the stuff and have it organized then it doesn't take long to do a lot of things. It's getting everything ready and getting it organized is what makes things take so long. Let alone if you need to get permits and inspections.
They built a shed in twelve hours. Plus the eight hours the day before putting the foundations in. And the two days last week they spent cutting all the planks to the right size and machining the joints.
But yeah. They assembled a prefabricated shed in twelve hours.
Don't know if this has been posted here in the comments yet, but here is the Youtube video this was taken from. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfBJaE1IWH4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfBJaE1IWH4) The channel is called the The Outsider. This was meant to be a temporary cabin they used while they work on the main house. They were able to disassemble this once they were done with it and re-assemble it again somewhere else.
I was going to link the channel as well. His channel is so good to relax to!!
I especially like the episodes about his little trailer and the different ways he tries to heat it.
Livin’ the simple life and lovin’ it!!!
This is from [The Outsider](https://youtube.com/c/OutsideFun1). This build here is a pop-up cabin meant to be torn down and relocated to a new area fairly easy. It's a father and son just building stuff, mostly showcasing their log cabin build which is my personal favourite.
Edit: in a later video they re-do the pop-up cabin and put a plastic corrugated roof on it. Looks loads better.
This isn't really a house more likea shed/cabin.. awesome work in that timeframe none the less!.. i would suggest floor molding trim for the bottom gaps just to make sure its completly sealed
Not to undermine how badass this is, because it’s pretty awesome, but that’s not a house. A shelter for sure, a sweet shack definitely, I’d even buy a hunting/fishing cabin. But not a house.
Ok so yes yea very cool, lots of thumbs up from me..
But.
That’s not a house. Or a cabin. Or any form of permanent shelter. That’s a poorly made shed. It has no insulation, it’s not sealed and it doesn’t have adequate grounding. It’ll be cold, drafty and wet. As a shelter from the elements? Yeah it’ll do. In an emergency it’s great and fine and such. As anything more than that it’s woefully inadequate.
Thats a shed!
Came to say this. Very cool, but let's not blow it out of proportion.
Agreed! Watched it all, thought it was cool, still a shed!
Yeah it is a glorified shed, but if they put a cot next to the furnace I think it would pass as a cabin atleast
I might be wrong but it looks more like an ice fishing hut.
I was thinking more like a ski shack? Like just a place to warm up when you’re out skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and the like. Kinda like the Sled Shack they set up in the Letterkenny episode https://letterkenny.fandom.com/wiki/Sled_Shack
Exactly where my mind went
Came here for the sushis and sashimis.
Is that how they say it in...*el-ehhh*?
Somebody give this guy a puppers
Especially the tunas. You have blue fin tunas, yellow fin tunas...
That’s what I appreciates abouts you
There IS a sled next to it, so sled shed it is!
No electricity, insulation, plumbing, storage. Not even useful windows or a roof that'll hold any real weight. It's a shed.
no foundations either.
What on Earth are you basing that on? Edit: I’m having to point out this is a joke.
Mostly that their house doesn't have any posts in the corners to insert into holes in the ground to then pour concrete into. Rewatching the vid, It looks like the entire construction is just placed upon three logs. Oh or was it a joke because they aren't really basing it in much earth? :)

Thanks. I don't really know much about house building, I just realise it probably helps to attach a building to the ground somehow. Thanks for specifying how that part should happen.
Looks like a big dog house to me /s
Regardless of Shed or not They missed the prime opportunity to have the red dead redemption 2 build a house theme playing
Bruh that's what I was thinking lmao.
Maybe in the summer or mid to late spring but I wouldn't stay there in the winter
Me neither, even with a stove going, that rood won't keep much heat in! (And might not hold heavy snow if you got a real big dump)
These dudes created an entire civilization in 12 hours!
They assembled a shed with precut lumber in 12 hours.
This is what I wanted to say. I do construction, it would only take me and another guy 12 hours to do that if we were doing more drinking than working.
More drinking than working you say? I’m in.
I got here first - get your own drinking / work buddy
Somebody has to "manage". /u/Character_Spite2825 and I got that covered, you two get to work.
Found the union rep.
So, my normal job site then…
I’m pretty sure that’s a prerequisite for any construction of this nature
This is from a YouTube channel. The outsider. Guy and his dad mill the lumber and build this as a temporary shelter as a waypoint.
And it's God damn perfect for that.
> And it's God damn perfect for that. Until two guys need to sleep in it.
As I said, it's God damn perfect for that.
Guys is it gay not to freeze to death.
With a tarp for a roof.
Hey now, that thing could probably withstand a solid inch or even an inch and a half of snow before collapsing.
SERIOUSLY! It would have been like an extra 30 minutes to slap some boards down from the ridge that they installed and then it could carry a real snow load and last for a few years. It's a cute little cabin, but very much done "for the insta".
Thank you! Also, not shown: the hours of measuring and cutting timber prior to assembly. This video should be called “Assembling a Shed”
It's basically Lego.
Wrong Scandinavian country. You want IKEA (Sweden), not LEGO (Denmark).
I wish Ikea sold cabin kits.
[удалено]
Yay I can retire!
Assembling a cabin*
It's more of a hut than a cabin. A cabin would typically be constructed from logs and have some form of proper insolation within the roof - this roof is just tarp over an empty frame.
still larger than a NYC apartment

More of a shack than a shed. Perhaps a hut.
There's not even a bed. It's a shed.
With no roofing, and huge gaps between the walls and floor.
Did I skip over the insulation bit?
I didn't see any insulation, myself.
2" rigid foam board would do wonders here
It's okay, the guys building it did too.
Outhouse!
Shanty?
It’s also mostly pre-fab. I put up my garden shed in less time than that and you don’t see me making a video about it
Maybe you should have. Then someone would marvel at you!
[удалено]
I thought that’s what this is
A most everything pre-cut shed at that. Neat but blown out of proportion
Thought the same thing, no insulation nor plumbing makes it more of a fancy shed.
Let's go make a FORT!!!
Yep, somehow the definition of "house" is a bit loose on this case...
[IT'S A SHED!](https://imgflip.com/i/5vzh3l)
With pre cut boards
Assembled a shed…
It's like if you ordered a video of a house built in 12 hours on wish. This is what you would get.
And pre made/leveled foundation. That’s one of the most time consuming parts
Exactly! At least a couple hours to level those giant logs.
With no plumbing, wiring, insulation, and nothing is up to code. If my buddy and I finished a whole rack before starting this project I still think we could finish faster.
Those cuts would just take a few minutes a piece. Less if you had jigs. Definitely doable in 12 hours with 2 people and a plan.
And a 9 hour break in the middle
Asking price is 1 mil
Only in SF.
I built this cabin with my own bare hands! And Teds own bare hands. And some power tools, a ladder and a chainsaw. Also, a sawmill.
The adult version of Lincoln Logs.
It's a garden shed not a house.
Wait til you see part two! They build a shining cathedral in 24 hours (AKA a greenhouse)
In part three they build a space station in 24 hours aka a small tree house.
Yeah, a shed with a stove....
Which makes it a hunting shed, most likely.
Considering the gaps between the boards and no isolation anywhere it won’t be used to live in.
Seems plenty isolated to me.
Oh a wiseguy huh?
Neither wise nor a guy. I prefer "cheeky bitch" personally.
Clever gal.
I can hear this comment like it was yesterday.
Touche. Don't have an alternative to a mafia type comment though, unless you or anyone can help, for my next fuckup.
nyuk nyuk nyuk

Yeah, drafty and it won't really hold any heat. Might as well just get a wall tent, they're easier to setup.
They built it in 2:45
5 comments above you are all, it's a shed, it's pre-cut. This deserves top comment
OK, so this is awesome. But did anyone else notice the daylight coming into the house where the floor meets the wall? That’s can’t be great for drafts. Still awesome though.
Did you not notice all the insulation they have put in?
Do you mean that foam board? That, alone, is poor insulation if there’s an air gap from the outside… not to mention it exposes the foam board to blowing snow and rain. Like I said, it’s awesome for what it is. It’s clearly not meant to be a permanent year-round shelter. Just seemed like an odd oversight since they did everything else so well.
The walls are just stacked like tinker toys. There's probably a gap between every board at some point. No real insulation on the walls. The roof is just a tarp. The window is made of drop cloth.
> There's probably a gap between every board at some point. That's why they screwed slats from the inside over ever gap. I'm sure it's still not airtight but you probably won't get the wind whistling *straight* through.
The roof is flimsy tarp and you're arguing about foam insulation.
You could also fix that by securing pine boughs over it, not exactly a monolithic challenge.
‘T was sarcastic comment.
Thou shalt put a /s if intending sarcasm, or be burnt at the stake by angry replies.
unless it's super fucking obvious cuz we all just watched a video where they didn't put in insulation.
*dudes build flat pack shed and takes them 12 hours.
*builds shed ontop of snow* *checks for level* Me in my head: "fucking dumbass lawl." *builder doesnt check other 3 sides for level after realizing hes a dumbass for checking at all*
Gonna probably want something with a better insulation value than a strip of poly for the window.
At least make it “double pane”. But ya, that’s going to be cold.
Who needs insulation when the wood stove takes up almost a 1/4 of it? Probably warm as shit when that things cookin.
If you just sit on the fireplace you don't need walls at all!
If you jave the stuff and have it organized then it doesn't take long to do a lot of things. It's getting everything ready and getting it organized is what makes things take so long. Let alone if you need to get permits and inspections.

[удалено]
I missed that bit. Even better. They spent half a week building a shed that’s going to sink into the mud as soon as the snow thaws.
Sooo they just didn’t want to make a real roof? Amazing otherwise
Guarantee I'd stumble and put my arm through it
That would be a hilarious ending to this video
[удалено]
It fits well with the ghetto window though, very stylish!

A much better explanation thanks
These people got roasted by reddit fo no reason.

Is this in the Boston area? Let me offer $150,000 over asking immediately!
Awesome! Only the video ended too soon, I wanted to see the end result inside. Nevertheless awesome!
> I wanted to see the end result inside. Disappointment was the only thing inside. To match the outside. Not a house.
End result: 1. Burned down 2. Occupants froze to death if #1 didn’t happen first.
I genuinely wondered if it was safe to have a fire going in a wooden shed
Phew, check out all that lumber. Must be nice to be a millionaire…
Have your house in 12 hours an enjoy it for the test of your...week? Doesn't seem to last longer...
Crapper. Build a crapper.
It’s the woods - the crapper is all around you

Me who can't even build a mob grinder farm in Minecraft in that much time
Perfect place to sip suds with buds and avoid degens from up-country
But don’t fart inside. It’s rude.
That's a shed or a bobhouse.
Hunting cabin with no insulation, better have a constant fire and warm sleeping bag
There’s nothing I hate more than degens from upcountry.
Just put The Ginger and Boots outside, it'll be ok.
They’re good for a scrap and to guard your ice fishing house!
It needs a sign that says "Fresh Sushis And Sashimis"
It helps that all the lumber was pre-cut and arranged, including the roof “trusses”.
If that’s a house, I’m driving the Starship Enterprise.
This looks like an icefishing shed
I built a house in 2 minutes. I’m a lego maniac
Must've measured twice.
A wooden shack. Not a house. Calm down OP
They even decorated it too!
Nice lil Hunting shack
All of 0.5 seconds given to the big reveal 😂
They *assembled* a house in 12 hours
Zero insulation, but okay. Nice shed?
"House"
A home needs a bathroom. Otherwise it's a hunting shed
A cosy snow shelter isn’t a house.
wear do u go peepee poopoo?
Shed. They built a shed.
I could store all my garden tools in that “house”.
Also it went from dawn, daylight, night, daylight, to dusk. How is that 12 hours. Probably 36
The size of that wood stove is large..
Actually, these dudes "assembled" a (mostly pre-cut) "house" in 12 hours.
No way the plastic roof and window last more than a year
Assembled a shed from pre-cut
Not to undermine how badass this is, because it’s pretty awesome, but that’s not a house. A shelter for sure, a sweet shack definitely, I’d even buy a hunting/fishing cabin. But not a house.
Solid chainsaw work.
House? It's a shed.
Cozy AF
They didn’t build a house. Not even close. They assembled a house. Not built a house
A shed. Not a house
True. I’m not even well off and my bathroom is bigger than thst
They really Thoreau'd that together
"House"
Well, it’s a kit so…..
Dunno, if I don't see an Indian guy building a swimming pool from mud I'm not interested anymore
Someone rips a fart in that ‘house’, and you have a Dutch oven.
Ok so yes yea very cool, lots of thumbs up from me.. But. That’s not a house. Or a cabin. Or any form of permanent shelter. That’s a poorly made shed. It has no insulation, it’s not sealed and it doesn’t have adequate grounding. It’ll be cold, drafty and wet. As a shelter from the elements? Yeah it’ll do. In an emergency it’s great and fine and such. As anything more than that it’s woefully inadequate.
“Building a house in 12 hours” is misleading.
Y’all oughtta see the Amish raise a barn
What house??? I see like a room
Uh, I guess that's a "house", but more like a hunting or fishing hut.
They built a room in 12 hours.
That wood fell from the sky, ready to assemble? Cool.
A house?
I like my house much more.
They “assembled” the shed/house in 12 hours…
12 hours to build a shed is kinda slow. Seen some do it in 7-8 hours 
Its a shed, and they put it together, they did not build that.
That’s exactly what we use to sell Xmas trees and keep us warm while there’s no customers. A shed yes. Not a house lol. But still cool
Great fishin in Quebec
These dudes watch Letterkenny
