Foundation for a DIY Cabin Done The Right Way ! - EP 6

It is time to break ground, let me show you how to do a proper foundation for a DIY cabin, not the typical way most people do them which I believe is WRONG. I am sharing some very detailed, step by step instructions on how to do it yourself; going from the choice of the materials, digging the ground for the footer, using the proper concrete forms, cutting and placing rebars for the footing and shaft, as well as mixing and pouring concrete.

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.
