The wall is beautiful, I remember spraying frost on are windows, (Washington state) , that works way better for the futon, watching TV, watching the windows, stove, who knew you had a coffee table, perfect!! Bedding inside of it, very gorgeous wood stove, Glass doors, the shape nice, just golden, maybe a second fan, haha another leap & bound completed, maybe for next winter a built-in wall wood box,,(opposite wall of the door) 4 X 4 or 4 X 5 with outside step for loading, a divider on the side for kindling wood, (grew up with one of those too)😂😂 I am so happy for you!!! Now all you need is the Christmas tree 🎄, stay safe and warm, happy trails
The eagles are just to beautiful uno i love me some eagles. This is a amazing video Sean. Its all coming together for you and im so very happy and proud of you more and more. The fire is looking amazing your look out now because you got a stove and now you can bake when and what your heart desires ❤❤❤❤❤ enjoy your friuts of labor Sean looking amazing.
That is pretty awesome seeing that many in one area 🥰. They never cease to amaze me 🥰. Sean, it won't take you long to figure out the stove. I glad you finally got it going.
A working sink and a wood stove,all the comforts of home. What more could you ask for? The stone around the stove looks really nice. Eat well tonight and be toasty warm in your cabin tonight.😁
Hi, Sean. You did it! You have your wood stove all set up. I couldn't be happier for you! Talking about it was one thing, but looking at the finished product is just awesome. The loft is going to get pretty hot, probably high 70's. Everything is falling into place one step at a time. You have your sink set up, your fridge and now your wood stove. Plus, the Christmas tree will be right there by the window. Not bad, Sean, not bad at all!!😊 Until your next video. I'm starting my first batch of Coquito. 😅 BTW, I wasn't able to go out of town to celebrate my birthday (November 30th) I got sick with the flu big time. I'm still coughing a little bit, so I'm going to do a double celebration on Christmas, lol
I am so happy for you , sink and fire! Now, lay up some wood and stay nice and toasty! I suggest burning the hardest local woods and avoid the sappy ones for your flue build up. Now you're getting almost civilized.
@@SeanInAlaska I just now see that Spruce is most abundant and #2 on a list of 15. Birch is apparently the gold standard...according to google. Fire and water in a single day! Oh my!
Love watching you doing all these new things. It is exciting to watch you move into your new steps. Most people don’t realize when you are building on your own and finish the different steps it is almost like Christmas. It is so exciting and then you get to move on to the next stage. Good going Sean.
You are so right! The joy of completing a single task really is understated! I am like a kid at Christmas seeing things get done, not to mention how it makes things easier each step of the way.
Just a few tips Sean, use oven cleaner to clean your wood stove glass Fast and easy And dirty glass directs the heat away from the front of your stove so it won’t send it towards you as much as well as the view of the flames being obstructed, also when you load or fire up your stove put paper/cardboard in then 3-4 pieces of kindling in and at least 2~ logs then light it . This will start a nice fire, and when it burns down you always need to put no less than 2 logs in so they hold the heat down, with just one put in your fire doesn’t burn and may go out. At least 2 logs (1/4 rounds)will keep it at around 350 so you don’t build creosote. Birch is the best for fire starter and burns hot. Keep your damper fully opened until your living area temperature is comfortable enough for you, then close it about 1/2. It should hold that temperature for quite a while unless it’s -30 or colder then open it I love the double doors on your stove!! Mine is a single door.. great job! You even got your wall ring on the proper way like I told you a while back!! Awesome Sean!!!
Also Sean you can save propane by getting a large pot with a lid and keeping it filled with water on top of your wood stove, it will get pretty dry inside and it’s great for when you need hot water(dishes, showers, etc) ❤
@@SeanInAlaska - It is ! you have put in a lot of work on your channel, we enjoy watching each week. We will try and send our Christmas tree photo this weekend.
Wow 23 degrees! That’s warm lol,beautiful eagles. The other day I watched a crow dive bomb at a golden hawk who perched at the top of a tree. Nature is amazing. Great 🔥 ,glad your sink is in. Thanks for sharing 😊
With your awesome wood stove, you can dry clothes on a line in no time: from getting wet outside or fresh laundry!! So happy for you Sean, i was raised on wood heat and you cant beat it!!!
That stove is gorgeous! Nothing better than heat from a fire! I love the tree. The temps you were mentioning sound umm miserable!! Glad you’ll have a warm cozy Christmas.
Looking good Sean, you have it made now with that wood heat. You will be surprised what a difference burning some dry birch vs spruce. Nice tile work as well. Seasons Greetings 🎄
Hello Sean: wow items are starting to jell together now. Very happy for you and proud of all that your are doing and learning. Have a great fire and now you can rest a little and enjoy your new life some.
Sean, talk to the ravins. Caw at them, they may echo you. The ravins I talked to in Junau were as big as dogs. You picked a pretty color palette of stone. Glad your gonna get some nice dry heat. Mary from MaryLand
Love the wood burner. It'll. Make all the difference. Have you got fire bricks in it? My wife is asking when you're going to start doing the inside walls. It'll help with the warmth.
Love the fireplace. I like the backing you chose it looks great. We use to have a wood stove and when we used the damper over night it was still warm in the morning. 😊
Whooo Hooo Sean Check out your awesome woodstove!! So cool and cozy !!! Hey you took the benches out under the windows! Oh no the kitchen window is frozen shut.
Great job on the wood stove Sean. People put up beautiful trees. Hope your thanksgiving was nice, hopefully you ate a lot of food. Until next time, take care Sean and enjoy your warm cabin now
Hi Sean, if I've not suggested to already, get yourself a travellers hand held hair dryer, approx 20-30 Australia dollars.They are fabulous at thawing outt ice in tracks and warming window pains ,heaps of other uses in the cold without drawing a ridiculous amount of power. Great around door locks in winter and window latches etc etc. All sorts of uses in the tool shed where there's power or gennie. Hope it helps, and the new fire looks FIRE my man. 😂🇦🇺🤗💞🙏🏼👍👌✌️👏✝️🇺🇸
Look at you.. compared from last December.. woohoo.. and ya know I’ve never seen a raven in the wild.. eagles yes.. but never a raven.. pretty darned groovy.. 78degrees is my loft guess.. have a really super weekend 🩷☮️
I bought a half acre of land in Soldotna on my first trip to Alaska in 1989. I fell in love with the beauty of the state. Unfortunately, I needed to sell it to finance grad school.
Loft 84. BTW, I live in the mntns of central California and my main source of heat is my wood stove. I dip cotton balls in Vaseline in lieu of fat wood to start some of my fires.
Wonderful! Things are really coming together for you just in time to battle the really brutal temps. Tiles looks amazing! Im so glad you finished the top with the same tiles. Time to snuggle down and enjoy some dinner.
That's awesome Sean!! It's supposed to warm up to the low 40's here on Monday, and no precip in the forecast. If that holds (famous last words), I'll be doing some re-framing along the West wall and installing that direct vent propane heater. HOPEFULLY that will reduce my moisture problem dramatically!! When it warmed up the other day I literally had a dozen plastic containers out to catch droplets coming from the ceiling... and I had 4 or 5 rivers funning across the container floor. Moisture would get behind the insulation on the walls, and freeze to the container walls. When it warmed up all of that melted and ran down to the floor and had to find somewhere to go... Sheesh... it was a sloppy mess!!! I have a small wood stove, but there is literally not enough room to put it in the container!! Between myself, 4 dogs, bed and other folding work tables and a folding table for a kitchen (I know you know those stories...), there is about a 3' wide walk way from end to end, and that's it!!! Next year when I do the first phase expansion, things will be a lot better, but for now, the dogs and I are surviving just fine. The coldest it's been down here so far was +2. My biggest problem is lack of oxygen... the propane heater burns up so much O2 that I literally have to get up every 2 hours and open the front door for 5 minutes to replenish so that the heater doesn't trip off on LOW O2 Sensor. Again, that direct vent heater will eliminate that problem since it brings in its own combustion air through the venting. We need to get together sometime over the holidays buddy!
@@SeanInAlaska Man, you got that right!!! I was even foolish enough to think that having a dehumidifier would solve the problems. I take between 2-3 gallons of water per day (on raining/snowing/high humidity days) out of the container!!! I save the water and run it through a filter system and use that for the dogs, but still... a lot gets dumped outside! And then there is the problem of running the dehumidifier. That thing would drain my battery system in a hour if I ran it on that, so I have to run it on the generator... which I'm using the propane to power that, rather than gasoline. Needless to say, Kenai Feed loves me... LOL!!
Brother... Finally and just in time! Good on you Sean, now let there be light and heat! Stay safe, warm, dry, well hydrated & fed.
I cannot wait for a real cold snap here to see what this stove can do!
Man, you MADE IT !!!!!!! Extremely happy for you!
That was quite a bit of work, but now you can enjoy your cabin even more!
It is a great feeling for sure!

Nothin better than a roarin stove on a cold day
A working sink and a wood stove,all the comforts of home. What more could you ask for? The stone around the stove looks really nice. Eat well tonight and be toasty warm in your cabin tonight.😁
No need much to be happy and have a nice quiet life , I am lucky forward to it , 👍
I love seeing the bald eagles. ❤ Beautiful wood stove.
Your cabin is quickly becoming a lovely home🎉
Every little step makes a huge difference now!
That view makes all the work worthwhile. And if you want, you can make your own fatwood by soaking scrap pine pieces in old cooking oil.
I will try that! What a great idea!

All I have for now is spruce, but i will maintain the chimney to avoid problems!
@@SeanInAlaska I just now see that Spruce is most abundant and #2 on a list of 15. Birch is apparently the gold standard...according to google. Fire and water in a single day! Oh my!
@karlbe8414 i have a load of dead and dying spruce on my property lol...
Cheers..glad you're warm in your cabin now....
looking better all the time
Nothing better than a good wood fire to feel relaxed. The nice dry warmth and the smell of the smoke.
Warms you to the soul!
Sean your wood stove project turned out very nice. I can watch a fire in a wood stove like others watch tv…lol stay warm my friend.
I watch it all evening as well hahahahhaha
Winter is here Sean is ready. 🙂👍
For once hahahahaha

Good timing. Got that stove in just in time for this heat wave we are having. But in all seriousness, that is a beautiful strove.
We will be in the 30s for another week too! Hahahhhah, i am ready now though lol
There is nothing like a good fire to watch and smell. The stone wall looks great behind the roaring fire. Merry Christmas!
Agreed! And Merry Christmas to you as well 😊
As a plumber I love seeing homeowners doing it themselves, good job so far , nothing better than a fire
I love learning! And when I can do something myself, I will.
I clean my fireplace glass with Windex and newspaper. The ink in the newspaper takes the stain off the glass .....
Fire + beer is better 😀
Good job my Sean :) Your going to love your wood heat 👍, Take care stay warm
About time Sean you be nice warm now
So glad to have this done with hahahaa
Congrats Sean. That’s a major milestone for you. A wood stove and the beginning of indoor plumbing.
This whole last month has seen many changes for me, and I am loving it!
Just a few tips Sean, use oven cleaner to clean your wood stove glass Fast and easy And dirty glass directs the heat away from the front of your stove so it won’t send it towards you as much as well as the view of the flames being obstructed, also when you load or fire up your stove put paper/cardboard in then 3-4 pieces of kindling in and at least 2~ logs then light it .

Warms the cockles to see this my friend!
I thought of you with a smile when I uploaded this!
Also Sean you can save propane by getting a large pot with a lid and keeping it filled with water on top of your wood stove, it will get pretty dry inside and it’s great for when you need hot water(dishes, showers, etc) ❤
Space on the top is pretty limited, but I have a kettle there now to add a bit of moisture
Great job on the wood stove install and the stone wall. Cabin is coming together! Almost 10k subs Sean!
Thanks guys! And yup.....it is getting close to that milestone!
@@SeanInAlaska - It is ! you have put in a lot of work on your channel, we enjoy watching each week. We will try and send our Christmas tree photo this weekend.
Hallelujah ! Free dry heat !
The heat that warms you 3 times! When you cut it....when you split it, and when you burn it hahahhaahhah
Awesome job on getting the wall done. The stove into place. Stay vary warm indeed. It's going to be a cold one this year.
Great job. The tile wall looks marvellous. Will make a great difference to the cabin
I have just about eliminated my use of propane heat now.
Wow 23 degrees! That’s warm lol,beautiful eagles. The other day I watched a crow dive bomb at a golden hawk who perched at the top of a tree. Nature is amazing. Great 🔥 ,glad your sink is in. Thanks for sharing 😊
With your awesome wood stove, you can dry clothes on a line in no time: from getting wet outside or fresh laundry!! So happy for you Sean, i was raised on wood heat and you cant beat it!!!
Oh! And Pam, it even has glove drying racks built in!!! Hahhaahaah
That is totally great!!!@@SeanInAlaska
80’s with the wood stove.
Yup. From what I have read, this company led the way in efficiency before the modern stoves arrived, and they still hold up today.
I was waiting for you to sit on the sofa, the view of stove is beautiful, and what a great dinner to celebrate the installation!❤
Sean you are making me jealous on what you are making for dinner
🤣😂🤣
Looking forward to viewing this.
Stone tiling looks amazing Sean.
@smiley9872 thank you! I am really happy with how it came out.
That stove is gorgeous! Nothing better than heat from a fire! I love the tree. The temps you were mentioning sound umm miserable!! Glad you’ll have a warm cozy Christmas.
The Temps are all part of the beauty of living here lol....
Heart of the House.
Exactly!
Can’t beat wood heat, Love it !
Agreed... 💯%
A very heavy band of snow happening here right now. Supposed to be over about 1:30 am. Just have to eat peanut butter cups and watch your channel !! 😊
Stay safe!!
I remember being on the fraser in 92 and i must have seen like 40-50 eagles just sitting overwatch in the trees.
The wood stove looks great!
Hi love the wall at the back of the stove 😊
Looking good Sean, you have it made now with that wood heat. You will be surprised what a difference burning some dry birch vs spruce. Nice tile work as well. Seasons Greetings 🎄
I plan on getting some birch for the overnight burns as soon as I can.
Hello Sean: wow items are starting to jell together now. Very happy for you and proud of all that your are doing and learning. Have a great fire and now you can rest a little and enjoy your new life some.
I plan on a much easier winter now Phil.
Love to see the Eagles 🦅 ❤ congrats 🎉 to your wood stove !!! Just in time before Christmas 🎄 awesome 👏
Very nice Sean!
Congratulations!
Looks awesome!
Thank you!
Making some great progress Sean! Looking good….
Sean, talk to the ravins. Caw at them, they may echo you. The ravins I talked to in Junau were as big as dogs. You picked a pretty color palette of stone. Glad your gonna get some nice dry heat. Mary from MaryLand
Mary, i talk to everything! Hahahaha crows, ravens, moose, rabbits, myself hahahahahaah
Well, hope Sean will not talk to woodstove and hear something in return.
@AlexB-km7os you know i will hahahhahhah
The fire place wall looks amazing I'm glad u now have the fire going. The loft 35c Celsius 😊
Congrats Sean, glad you got the stove in. Enjoy it
Thank you Victoria!
How amazing Sean, and a glass of 7 Deadly! Magnifique!!! I’m guessing it will get to the mid 80s upstairs!!
Love me some Lodi Zinfandel!!! Hahahhaa
Love the wood burner. It'll. Make all the difference.
Have you got fire bricks in it?
My wife is asking when you're going to start doing the inside walls. It'll help with the warmth.
I don't have bricks in it...yet. and no idea on the walls lol
Well Done Sean.
Thank you John!
Love the fireplace. I like the backing you chose it looks great. We use to have a wood stove and when we used the damper over night it was still warm in the morning. 😊
I have yet to load it before bed lol....it has just been too warm since the install to do it yet.
Whooo Hooo Sean Check out your awesome woodstove!! So cool and cozy !!! Hey you took the benches out under the windows! Oh no the kitchen window is frozen shut.

Every week it gets closer!
With the wood stove I think the temperature will be at 82 degrees Fahrenheit upstairs
It is a beautiful stove I love the background.
Neighborhood watch🦅🦅
Beautiful ❤
Nice stove, love wood heat.
How very nice for you! Love hearing the crackling of the fire. Nice view from the couch!
Best view ever!
Nice tile job on the wall. Glad to see so many improvements, and just in time for winter.
I bought a half acre of land in Soldotna on my first trip to Alaska in 1989. I fell in love with the beauty of the state. Unfortunately, I needed to sell it to finance grad school.
@VictoriaOrton bummer! Land here is still reasonable though...
Looks great Sean!
Thanks Forest!
Love the progress esp stove stones! Maybe get ya some lined curtains! I have them in MT ✌🏼
I have a set that I should open and install lol.....
Love the brick wall job,the fire looks so relaxing. Enjoy every minute,love your videos,stay safe and clean your chimney regularly.🥰🇨🇦🥰
Looks Awesome.
Bravo well done
It looks so good Sean!!
I am loving it!!!!
Great job
Thank you!
Congratulations, and man invented FIRE😂
🤣😂🤣
Everything you’re doing is amazing Sean. And you did it all your self.
I have learned so much! And this has been an absolute blast!
Loft 84. BTW, I live in the mntns of central California and my main source of heat is my wood stove. I dip cotton balls in Vaseline in lieu of fat wood to start some of my fires.
I grew up in the Sierras above Sonora! Lol
Keep up the good work Sean👍
Thank you!!
Wonderful! Things are really coming together for you just in time to battle the really brutal temps. Tiles looks amazing! Im so glad you finished the top with the same tiles. Time to snuggle down and enjoy some dinner.
I am glad I used the same tile as well! Much nicer look to it!
Loving it by the way !!
Nice to see it going long time coming!
Loft will hit 90F
I agree...I needed this done!

Happy New Year, Sean!!!!
Happy New Year Raquel!

Looking really great, wondering if you are going to install a damper in your flue pipe ? 👍💚🍻
The stove has a built in damper, I will see how tgat works before adding one in the flue
Good work ! , nice and warm
Wow!, looking good Sean.
Thank ya brother!!!
