By far our most common questions are always costrelated, so we're bringing you this detailed cost breakdown video regarding our AFrame Bunk Plus and Tiny AFrame Kit models!

We're back at our client the Desert of Maine in Freeport, Maine, who just completed building 6 cabins. The owner Doug will walk you through costs for each DIY cabin model in as much detail as possible, covering everything from materials costs to labor to furnishings and more.

Stick around towards the end where Doug will give some insight on how much he's listing these cabins per night to rent and how long it will take for him to make his investment back (hint it's quicker than you think)!

If you haven't watched any previous videos of this huge cabin build, check out our playlist below. We've been documenting this place for the past several months from start to finish.
