This is a 17 minute long narrated collection of stop-action, video, and photos of the first two trips out to the east coast to build our (not from a kit) a-frame (~$40k CDN). For cost breakdown and other details see: nakamoto.ca/page/projects/aframe
The first trip was 11 days in April and the second was 5 days in May. The narration describes the project and some of the construction details.
For more cost and more details, links to my planning documents, the book I used, etc. please visit the project page on my personal website: nakamoto.ca/page/projects/aframe
