- WE ARE SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED!
Huge shoutout to Timberline Sawmill for such a smooth process of getting us the materials for the cabin of our dreams. In this week's video, we received the logs for our cabin package and do all the prep leading up to it!
A few weeks ago, we brought home a burl tree to use as our center post in our cabin by snowmachine. This was a fun adventure away from the cabins while we still have good snow on the ground and ice on the creeks!
Then Becca focused in for a day at the cabins to get some seed started before the storm of cabin building begins. The garden is still going to be very necessary to stay out in the wilderness of Alaska long term! We started with tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, pumpkins, and some flowers! THANK YOU to an amazing subscriber for sending us a seed packet of flowers. We cannot wait for them to bloom and get a nice pot to keep them in!
The day before the logs arrived, we brought down 20-some beetle-kill spruce trees to be used to keep the logs off the ground and then re-used either in the moose fence or throughout the cabin building! We want to do our loft railing with small peeled spruce trees and still have that moose fence to build this spring. Nothing like a good bonfire on a frozen pond to celebrate our logs coming in!
Without further ado, the logs arrive! We had a smooth delivery from Timberline Sawmill and await a few more deliveries of roofing materials, rafters, etc. It is so amazing to finally see the logs that we will call home though.
We obviously have a lot of work to do before we get to the logs. Part of the reason we had them delivered as soon as they were ready was to avoid the road to the homestead getting too muddy or any new snowstorms that could arrive. If they are on-site then we can simply start when we are ready!
Next is SNOW REMOVAL. All caps is necessary. There is some 3-4 feet of snow sitting in our cabin footprint and not only is that a lot of snow but most of it we will have to move by hand! The tractor is going to be very limited on what it can do to plow with the post holes already being dug and hiding under the snow. To the shovels! 😁

Becca you look great. The baby is so gorgeous. Levi's is great too. I love the way you all work together to get things done. Levi's dad was so funny. 😅 Can't wait to see you all build the cabin. Much love from Rhode Island, Terry 💯
How exciting for you guys with the cabin kit arriving. Wohoo on the veggies starts sprouting. When the marigolds blooms die clip them & save them for next year. When the blooms that have been clipped have dried pull them apart & that is the seed. 😊
Becca I’m dying laughing so hard when you said “they should never leave you alone with a chainsaw”. Words no man would ever expect to hear from a woman haha
You go girl!!!! Can’t wait to see the build and what you do with the Burls!
Stay safe! Finally Levi’s dad had real snow shoes! Hope he didn’t get hurt
God bless.
DIRT TIP: mix a bunch of water and soil, then fill containers and add you seeds
Henry is so precious😇😇😇
WOW! YOUR LOGS ARE DELIVERED! So happy for you all. You guys are very hard workers and I can just see how fast your build will go. Looking forward to watching it all come together.
You guy’s are the best Family! Baby is so cute & Mom is looking great too. I am excited to see the cabin come together. Happy Dad is there with Mom to give a lil help!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Those berls should make beautiful logs for your porch post.wow!
When the marigolds die, then you take the seeds for the following year also. Theres thousands upon thousands in each plant.
Look forward to the Cabin being built .Henry is cute .🇨🇦
Becca, you are doing fine job. You go with what you know. You have some meaningful comments, but i hazard a guess you know exactly what you are doing. So pick and choose between friendly advice. 😊
Wonderful to see your cabin logs were delivered. You Two are organized and love the steps you take ‘in advance’. Cutting those pines by the pond while water is frozen 👌. Always look forward to your videos 😊🦋
Girl! I am traversing the seed starting right alongside you. So exciting to see little sprouts! (I use a spray bottle to water at first, but am sure you already thot of that.)
Henry is one month younger than my grandson so it’s fun to see him grow too. You sound like my DIL, “I miss my Little Man!” when she has to go into work. 😍 Don’t blink. Your days are about to become much busier with him. So fun!
Great video! I so look forward to Sat. mornings when you post! Stay safe!

Carry On an Shovel ~!!!🤠🤠🤠🤠
May I suggest, that prior to sowing your seeds, you waterfall the pots you are going to use. Another thing you can do is to place your seedlings in plastic bags. It will help to keep a constant temperature
Exciting and awesome for your cabin package to arrive happy building
Love ❤️ your video ❤️
How exciting to get your cabin logs!😊
So exciting!
You ROCK, Becca !!!!! I've watched other videos on Alaska living, and you're one that really gets into the work!!!!!!!
I have found that if I wet the potting mix before putting it in the pot, doesn't float and rearrange the seeds. Just find a big container and put the mix in and wet it down, mix it around like when you're mixing flour with milk kind of.
Spring is exciting! Excited for your cabin build!❤
Exciting to see progress. Keep up the great work.
Everytime I hear your intro music, I think....."I should comment on that," lol, then I don't. So today, I'm commenting. I love that you play "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms" as your intro music. Love your channel. Always am happy when a new video pops up through my notifications :)
Great job guys can't wait to see more
Those peat pots always dry out on me! PNW
I LOVE your content! You guys are so hard working- especially Becca doing this with a baby strapped on you and even right after you delivered him. Within like a month you were doing physical work! Excited to see this all take shape this spring
I'm new to your channel, but I am really impressed. Carry on😊
Great video Henry is growing so fast he is a happy little baby can’t wait to see the cabin get started 🏠❄️
We tried that same potting soil last summer and weren’t impressed with it at all. So dry and powdery it never would soak up water that well. Next time you are in wasilla, go by Alaska jacks garden supply and get some of the Happy Frog brand of potting soil. It is really good stuff.
Happy y for you both what a adventure ❤️
PLant lots of marigolds in garden it will keep away worms and bugs out great around tomatoes plants
Look at that! Cabin and garden starting!! ❤ How big is your cabin going to be again?
20x24!
I see some beautiful bowls in the future . . .
Maybe a spray bottle to water plants ? Jus a suggestion
👍
no way on earth could I live in the snow
A forest full of burls there!
👏👏👏👏

Always add water to soil mixture before adding your seed.
👍♥️🙏
Lettuce grows quickly. Mix your dirt and water and make a bunch of mud. Then put it in the grow pots and plant your seed. Dry potting soil is hard to water and get thoroughly wet. Then you can put your plants in a shallow pan and just pour water in the pan. The plants will then suck up the water individually. Down here in Texas, my tomato plants have blooms on them already. Of course, during July through September, we melt due to the heat.
Becca always good to have baby be okay with being with someone else. Wet soil before planting seed. How big is your cabin going to be
We are doing a 20x24 cabin
I’m from LI what do most people carve with the Burl post thingys. Idk about these things from this part of the country lol
We're using them for posts in our cabin, which is common around here. They can also be carved into a bowl and has very unique wood grain!
Oh wow! That would be awesome. I want to fly to Alaska to get a burl and carve it… I don’t want one made for me. I want to do it lol.
What do you want all the burls for ? Are you going to make bowls ?
We are going to use the large one for a center post in our cabin, some of the smaller ones will be used for railings.
Henry is a little bewdy
🇳🇴👍👍👌
What size cabin are you building?
