Finishing the DIY Cabin Foundation Beams and Installing Wind Braces - EP 11

Описание: If your cabin is elevated (post and beam foundation), you will ABSOLUTELY need to have wind braces if you do not want your structure to fall down. I go over how I built several wind braces between the posts to make it as sturdy as possible. In addition, I also go over what it took to finish up installing the beams that will support the cabin and what to look for !

I am Tristan, I am building a 400 SF cabin at the back of my house. I plan on doing it all by myself. I plan on sharing this journey here on Youtube where I will show you every step of the way, all the struggles I run into and everything I will learn from this experience. I will then rent the cabin as a short term rental in hope of covering most, if not, all my house mortgage (House Hacking). Follow me here as this will absolutely be one of a kind journey.
