Redneck EngineeringBest improvised solution

When the pandemic shut everything down in 2020, Charlottesville filmmaker Graeme Jenvey looked at the three acres behind his house and decided to build a cabin. With self-taught woodworking skills and a $13,000 budget, he raised a 12x20-foot structure in just 55 days. His 30-minute timelapse of the build has surpassed 11 million views on the Woodness Goodness YouTube channel.

A complete, finished cabin built in under two months for roughly the price of a used car.
