Mo and Pink have an off-grid homestead in Virginia, and the video below shows Mo’s hard work as he builds a guest cabin in their backwoods. Mo built the 120-square-foot house and the 12×20 deck over six months, right after his 60th birthday!
Remarkably, he did the build by himself using primarily hand tools — he hammered the entire floor together one nail at a time. Despite not being a professional builder by trade, his skills and attention to detail are apparent in the video below. He has plans to add a bathroom space in the future.
