Why is our Cabin is FREEZING INSIDE? (Off-Grid, Alaska)

  • Greetings friends! We just finished our seventh weekend of work on this cabin. This was definitely
    the dirtiest week yet. We really kicked up some dust. But as my dad would say, "dreading it is worse than doing it". We now have it behind us and can move on to the fun stuff.
    We are trying to be patient with this winter weather, but we need the snow to start melting soon. We are a bit landlocked in between these huge drifts and need to access the rest of this property. But the days are getting longer and the average temperatures are rising so it won't be too much longer.
    Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments. We read every single one and do our best to respond to as many as possible. So to all of you, please know we appreciate your generous words. They mean the world to us, thank you, thank you, thank you.

    What an endearing couple! What a great job and how hard. I'm looking forward to seeing the final result because I'm sure it will be amazing. There are few people with so much dedication to what they love. If there were more people like you, the world would be different. Best regards and hugs from Spain.

      Good morning Miguel! Thank you for these kind words. You flatter us. We do love this alpine country, this property, and this collection of worn out buildings. We intend to make something out of them. We have also fallen in love with our UA-cam community. We never knew we could connect with so many wonderful people. It is just the greatest thing. Thanks for watching our videos. We will keep creating them. Peace

I had a building built for my 3 Jd's after his passing. You two brings back memories. Great Video's with you wife added, although she was behind the camera (I believe)

      Good evening Zana. Thank you for your friendship over this past year. I really had no expectations for this channel when I started it a little over a year ago. I had nothing to relate it to so it was just all new to me. I have fallen in love with the people here though. Visiting with so many amazing friends, from all over the world, is so wonderful and humbling. I never dreamed of it. I wish I had started doing this a decade ago. I am also so happy that Tanya is here with me. I enjoy working alone but spending so much time away from her (and my family) to make the videos bothers me. I much prefer to work with her. Thanks so much for making her feel welcome. It means the world.

    I have enjoyed watching for a couple months now (I had to bing watch to get current).
    I watch with my grandkids so I can talk them through steps and planning. They act like they are having fun too.
    I really appreciate the two of to working together on this build, because I use the example to these young kids of the importance of husband and wife’s build relationship as well as home/ remodel.
    The boys liked how you explained thing to your grandson when he would help a bunch. We / I enjoy your channel a bunch.

      Hello there Hoss P. Loved this comment. My dad was a concrete contractor by trade. He did a lot of flatwork, stone, brick and years of cmu. He made us boys work for him until we left home. We carried hod, stripped forms, set up walls and mixed mud. Hard and gritty work for sure. After leaving home I chose a different trade :). Give your grandkids a hug for me and tell them it's from Alaska. Blessings

About two years ago I opened my first account. On TicTok (of all places). I did it to entertain my grandchildren (who loved it). Prior to that I had never been on any social media platform whatsoever. I had no idea what to expect, but I have completely fallen in love with the community here. It has opened up a world of wonderful people to me (and Tanya). I wish I had started this years ago. Anyway, I am rambling. Love you much my friend. Have a great weekend. Talk to you soon.

I am amazed that you know three languages. I never realized that you were translating my comments into one of those languages in order to read and respond to them. I assume you are translating them into either Polish or German? Then you are writing to me and translating your comments back into English? That makes our friendship even more special.

I hope soon he can come with me and help on the cabin. I will also tell Tanya that you sent warm greetings to her. Blessings on you and your family my friend.

You never really spoke on your videos unless your grandsons were with you. Then there is Stella what a dog! It has been pleasant to watch your work through each project that you have done. Now that you have brought your wife in on this it really really makes your channel interesting.

      Thank you so much Chris. It is nice to hear from you. And thanks for sharing your thoughts too. You likened this country to the prairie which has me wondering if you are from a prairie region. This is actually up in the high, alpine country though, way above timberline. It is glacier territory. The ground is all rocky gravel and covered with a fragile layer of tundra. There is an abundance of freshwater streams and lakes. We have caribou herds around us, as well as moose. This is also grizzly habitat, so we don't go roaming around in the bushes. The stream to the back of our property is a major salmon-spawning tributary. We see hundreds of fish there each spring. There are also grayling in the stream and lake trout in the lake beside us. We fell in love with this place years ago and have dreamed of someday opening a small b&b type of operation in this area. That is why we are building here now. It can be stormy and inhospitable, but there is no place we would rather be. Peace.
