I’ll admit it…
I love having a piece of land.
Without a doubt, the acquisition of a small parcel of this planet has always been a great thrill for me.
And that new-found joy never seems to end.
No other possession comes even close… (while the thrill of a new car wears off for most of us in a matter of weeks and most other new possessions lose their thrill in even less time).
But… Land… it’s the purchase that keeps on giving!
It never wears out, it only improves with age, and often it increases in value.
It provides us with a location to place our homes… and even some of the materials to use in building that home.
It gives us the fuel to keep us warm, and a place to grow our own food.
It offers us security and sanctuary… a place to retreat to and restore our sanity in this modern world we live in.
The right piece land can even be our vacation spot… a place so wonderful that every day of our lives is a holiday.
The purchase of land often becomes a tipping point to a better life… this one act that we can take will carry us from simply dreaming of “one day” owning our own handmade home… to actually having one.
Welcome to Season Two of Handmade House TV… follow along as Noah… at the age of 60 slowly, part-time, turns a raw piece of land into his future home… as he encourages you to do the same… creating your own special place in this world.

Hi Noah,
I’m wondering if you might touch on the strength aspect of building a small cabin in a future video or post. I’m a 5’2″ woman interested in building my own small dwelling. Realistically, is this something you think is possible? What building methods (if any) require the least amount of raw strength, and/or are most suitable for attempting solo? Or am I being unrealistic, and should I instead plan to enlist help for the build?
Thanks for the great videos!
Hi Hanna… all great questions… I have thought of creating a few videos where I answer questions that I get… perhaps it’s time to get started… look for my answers to your questions soon on Handmade House TV… 🙂
Noah
Thanks for the response! I look forward to it!
