Video Footage is edited to show the viewer progress of the family's journey of self-building their off-grid farm cabin on their private property and within local council restrictions (following New South Wales, Australian laws). All work completed in the videos is planned and carried out by Savong, who is not necessarily qualified in that field on construction. Thus examines how he chose to complete the particular task himself and with minimal cost. Videos are mostly designed as viewer motivation and to provide ideas on how viewers might want to approach their own DIY Construction Projects. All building projects are DO-IT-YOURSELF construction by Savong, unless shown otherwise. If you are not confident in completing your own DIY construction jobs on your own property, please seek advice from professional tradesmen and tradeswomen.
