We finish the inside of the extremely small off grid house on stilts in the forest - 'The Forest Cube.'

The inside is insulated to R2000 standards with rockwool, then wrapped in plastic vapor barrier and tuck taped to be completely sealed from the outside.

While not conventional, the walls are finished with drywall, and painted. But the ceiling has a super fancy 'tray ceiling' that glows bright with recessed rope lights and pot lights. These all run off the Inergy portable battery pack.

The Forest Cube is outfitted with a small bed, coffee table that doubles as a storage unit, coat rack, and shelves to hold personal decorations. Future plans will include a wrap-around porch and outdoor cooking area.

The small cube is a self-contained living space of just 64 sq t. raised up off the ground on cedar post stilts to both protect from the elements, save on foundational requirements, and provide an epic view of the pond and surrounding forest!

We decided to use a engineered hardwood floor supplied by Bigelow Flooring.

The shell of the cube is completely wrapped in kerdi waterpoof membrane made by Schluter, including the flat roof to give The Cube, it's unique look.

Regular framing forms the structure of The Cube which is bolted to the cedar posts supports. I have used reclaimed materials for nearly all of the construction, from the lumber, to the windows and doors. The aluminum door is cut from a full frame garage door and purposely narrow to permit more wall space for bedding and sitting.

The upright door is only meant to access the wrap-around porch, while the lower hatch serves for entry and exit. It is also cut small to keep the space useful.

Inside, The Forest Cube doesn't feel cramped because of the big front window opening up the space to the forest and pond that surround it. The view is amazing! The pond area will grow in with lush vegetation by next spring and the waters be filled with wildlife, fish and frogs, and our pet ducks!

In time, the tiny forest cube off grid house will be complete with sleeping quarters, or bunk beds, a sitting area, or food prep area, indoor wood heating, and a wrap-around porch seating area.

Other features to be added to the space will include indoor lighting supplied by a quiet battery generator and unique decor such as a 'floating ceiling.'

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
