Like many around the world, when the pandemic struck and full lockdown arrived, Charlottesville, Virginia-based filmmaker Graeme Jenvey found a bit of extra time on his hands. To stay active, Jenvey turned to his lifelong love of the outdoors for inspiration—and leaned on his self-taught knowledge of woodworking—and decided to build a DIY cabin on the three acre plot he already lives on.
Six or so months later, the build was completed. When we first spoke with Graeme in January 2021, within 10 days of uploading the timelapse footage to Youtube, the 30 minute cutdown had amassed over 800k views. Now a year and change later, that's up to 11 million views. Putting him side-by-side with such famed tiny home YouTubers as Kirsten Dirksen.
