The Evolution of an Alaska Log Cabin ~ Stockade Style ~ Our progress
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 січ 2018
- Check out the progress of our new stockade style log cabin! This is our 4th one in Alaska, but a new style!
Building an off grid cabin can be challenging. At this property all we had available to use was aspen, so that's what we used! It's an unconventional log to use for a log cabin, but by doing a stockade style we were able to use the aspen in 8 ft. lengths. This works out because that's about as much as you want to handle and also it's about the length you can find straight sections of aspen. As long as you have a good eave hangover and the logs are protected and sealed, they will do just as well as spruce or other timber. It was an interesting build and a LOT more work than a traditional log cabin. Our land is sloping so that made it difficult as well- hauling logs uphill is NOT FUN!
But- by using what we had we didn't have to purchase logs and many of the doors and windows came from the dump- score!
We still have a lot of finish work to do but the roof is on and we have a cabin!
Thanks for your views, comments, and support!

We used it to 2-side our logs. Using aspen off the property for this build... new species and new style!
Looks almost like the cabin on Alone :) what is the advantage of the stockade style? Great work!!
my first guess why would be less logs so a faster build ... watching all these video's is making me jealous though ... poor health is keeping me cooped up in the city and i hate every single minute of it ... wish i was out in the bush like the pair of you get to
0623kaboom God Bless you brother, as I am also in the same situation, Sir, and it (definitely sucks! ) it's gotta get better right 😉
I hope both of you guys get to feeling better soon. As for you question Survival Lilly...The logs don't shrink lengthwise, so in a stockade style cabin you don't have to account for settlement of the logs like you do in standard horizontal log construction. BUT, the biggest reason we did it this way was 8' logs can be carried and set by ONE person, and The Aspen we used, isn't straight enough for much more than 8'. Also we had built 3 other log cabins but none like this so we thought we would give it a try.
Hey Lilly- this is Aspen, the most prominent wood on our property. Rather than buy spruce logs, we decided to use what we had. In order for this to work, it is better off standing vertical as this is not a type of wood usually used in log homes, and it's also only straight in short runs. But that makes it easier to handle as well! Our other homes were made of spruce. We wanted to try something new, and the Aspen is beautiful and free! We have long eaves that will further protect the wood after we seal it. As long as the wood stays sealed and dry it should make for a beautiful, strong home! Thanks for your comment and for watching! Cheers- brooke
Stay positive my friend- hope you're better soon!
I know you two have separate channels..(I watch both) but there is something truly beautiful about seeing you work together like this.. it is a treat
What the other channel name?

It brings back memories, I was a builder here in Australia and loved every moment of it, even now at 78 I still feel that I could climb that 'mountain', You both work so well together, it takes 'special people' to do that, the very best to you both, take care
Y’all are an impressive pair, the way you work together! Love watching you guys build together!
I cried... thank you guys... just real, genuine folks
You two are really amazing and outstanding people! Great looking cabin build. Also, so good to see a married couple getting along so well when there is so much hard work to be accomplished!
thank you William- 20 years married this year!
I love this video ! I have tons of respect for these folks for there endeavors and living that remotely is something thousands would love to do including me .❤✌👏👍
You guys make me smile. I love your life. Wish I was young again I'd do some things very different. God bless you both.
You have time. You’re not dead yet, seesta!
I feel the same Denese. It's hard not to think about how much different I would do things if I could start over.
You two seem to have a good bond together and this log cabin is just making it stronger. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. It looks great! I hope someday I can find a woman to build a cabin with in the middle of nowhere.
"Mr. Tiny" kicks some but.!! So do you "Girl." You are both fortunate to have one another and the dog is the most fortunate because he has you both. Take Care....."May God keep all of your safe. Amen."
Wow you guys put heart and soul in everything you do.❤️
Now this is what I like. Actual construction being part of the video.
Gosh. It’s awesome. Coming back to this video. Especially now following your son’s video in Alaska. Glad he’s got some helpers. This is amazing what you guys have done. God bless.
Huge amount of work and strength you both put in it! Congratulations!
I’m so amazed watching this makes me have goose bumps it’s so beautiful and I love the spot and how u make it look so easy to peel the bark off the logs you 2 are so amazing and talented God Bless u both!!!🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for sharing your dreams with us 😊!!
The good ole trusty butter knife, you remind me so of me and my projects, my husband calls me the get her done girl. I love how you tackle any project and can see the good come out of old and left abandoned projects. I always told my kids that I can't, is not in our vocabulary. I can gets it done. Keep up the good work.
Been watching your wife. That dog is the best. I know you appreciate her. WOOF!
Thank you for sharing this....it's great to see you all working so hard, and well together to achieve your dreams🌺
Thanks for watching Samantha!
Girl In The Woods do I like the cabin you know I do oh it is soo pretty oh how nice.Thanks for the video and you both be blessed.
Love to watch your channel as my escapism.. reminds us all of what our world and country used to be just a short time ago!!
I'm impressed. A family working together for the better of all. Nice job!
Wow, great video. Cool to see another version of the build. You two are quite a team.
This guy is a dead set beast. Awesome job guys!!
Wow, You guys were just the thing I needed to find. Your spirit is great, uplifting and powerful, thank you for sharing.
What a great video. I loved the song ! So perfect. You both are amazing.
Great video hun. Love the music!
You're the man! my man! lol
You guys are both awesome :)
I agree.. Awesome music!
Thanks EO!
Great job!
Awesome!!! I watched this series on Daves channel but it's really awesome the way you edited it!
I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to do this some day. 👍🏼💥
thanks spencer! I know you'll do lots of cool stuff in the future!
I don't know where to put this. I just wanted you and Dave to know what joy your videos bring me. I was raised dirt poor. Now, that's not a bad thing. I was in junior high before I knew we were poor. I learned so much because we didn't have money. Things like you don't actually need what you can't pay cash for and how to do it for yourself. Being poor has been the biggest blessing of my life. So liberating. Anyway, thank you for the great times you provide me. I so love Maisy Daisy and Moose and all the cats!
great thanks so much! take care friend!
I love seeing you work together also. Gorgeous…the wood.
Always fun to see you two working together, you two are amazing! Love that cabin. I’m ready to move in as soon as you get your aspen in gear...
lol love it
Susan Stoltz would you go off the grid, out into the wilderness, and build one, to live in???
I could watch this for hours B! Loved it!
Thanks my friend!
ظر😅🐵😋😂👏👌👌👍
God
me too i really like people doing useful thing... and its right on and a lot of fun to do..after that once its built must feel proud has hell!

The wife and I see this as a piece of heaven. All your cabins would be a beautiful getaway👍💌
Wow. That's awesome!! Y'all do Fantastic work. 👍👍👍
🌎🇺🇸❤🙏¡ GOD BLESS YOU! GREAT, NICE AND BEAUTIFUL JOB!! BRAVO !! FROM 🇵🇷 TO ALASKA!!🇺🇸🤗🖐🤲🙏👌👋👏👏🏡
I love watching this. Thank you for letting us see you at work!
Those logs you are harvesting from the woods are sooooo amazingly beautifu.
Channels like this have some of the most wholesome videos that have some of the most wholesome comments. Never a lot of hate. Just people wanting to know more.
thank you
nice work dear i was so going to say something about a draw knife then i seen you using one lol . was that birch or poplar wood you was using . looked like nice wood . good thing the dog was helping huh lol . loved the music and that was a nice two legged skidder you have . great to see you doing this dont think i would have the skills to do it . god bless dear
dark matter , that's poplar logs they are using.
i thought so . wasn't sure .
Thanks much DM! These are aspen logs and yes, that's a butter knife I was using in places! But on the tough stuff, draw knife.
Wow the second floor bedroom I guess the warmest spot. Love it.
I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT. You and your husband are doing great, beautiful work
The first log cabins were built in Europe 3500BC
This is a little more like it... Bushradical's vid's would have you believe that he was the only one working on the cabin! ~
I knew there the real worker was off cam...lol. Maisy seems like a good helper too! TFS B!
He is the brains, engineer, and foreman! I'm just a laborer. Can't claim much of this project! Thanks for watching B!
I love the two of you as a couple. Proper people, one as two, two as one. God bless your whole family and everything ye do
back in the 70s i built a similar vertical log cabin in wisconsin... your video brought back memories... nice job.... i also used aspen for logs... cut them all with a bow saw.... happy home done day... well, never really done are they, endless little refinements....
Looking awesome. Are you building from formal plans, or is this your own, home-made design? Either way, very good work! Cheers.
Nope just designing around doors and windows we got from the dump!

Друг, у тебя жена золотая. Береги ее.
Alexsandr Krasnov как мужики радуются когда им жены помогают, а сами то энном помогаете?))
Привет из России. Круто. Молодцы. Отлично домик смотрится.Обожаю женщин, которые не гнушаются тяжёлым физическим трудом. А то все эти принцессы и богини поперёк горла сидят.
Guys I am beginner in woodworking and i found a website named
*WoodBlueprints. Com* and i learn a lots of shed plans at their. i also recommend this website to all you guys
Хороший дом! Да, женщины в наше время и бизнес делают, и дома строят и детей растят одни, а мужики бьют-пьют, бросают жен с детьми....

они же сырые) разве потом же пойдут щели, перекосы, смола и прочие радости)
В осине нет смолы
Где?
Смола?это,осина!
Inspiring teamwork, really awesome to watch 😁👍👍👍
Pěkný a šikovný. Hezky se vám to povedlo, tyjo super 👌
I really liked the idea of building from vertical logs! But you build from fresh logs, and wood has the property of drying up! After a while you will have big cracks between the logs! You need to build from dry wood )))
there won't be as much shrinkage with vertical set up, and we'll be chinking between. you'll see
yes
it will be fine, trust me
ive wondered about that too, no one seems to cure their stock. but then ive never done this sort of roughing it building. I am impressed by everyone who does it.
Dima OPEN AIR then they buy plywood to cover the holes
Cool music, for once, and there's something hot, about a woman that helps you build. Great video, thanks, keep up good work.
Something so satisfying watching this process. Good thing hubby is tall.
thumbs up to the Lady of the cabin, great work. Stay healthy.
should the wood be dry?
1crow8 it helps ( shrinkage ), that's why a lot of cabins are built in the winter, sap is down in the trees.
Через пару лет щели между брёвнами будут от трёх до пяти сантиметров!
Согласен. Шняга полна,.
very beautiful and amazing work of art you both compliment each other very wellly
Talk about team work!
The cabin looks great.
Вот это баба у него! Моя б сломалась под этим листом) 😂
"Girl in the woods getting guy to do everything" mhmm....
OK????
Right! My exact same thoughts... so not fare to not giving credit to the "boy" in the channel name...
you hit the nail on the head
Shes a cougar, probably been through 2 marriages and sucked a young cub in to build a house for her so she can get her "equal rights" and basically get it by law if they break up.
I always look forward to your videos. The bark as chinking was something I’ve never seen before,
I love it.. This is life, Even doing the hard work means the beauty of it . There's nothing better than doing your own place . You'll look at it with so much pride . Oh dear . You guys are awesome . God Bless you all
I never seen a girl hustle that hard before, my wife is so lazy, she wouldnt of even made it to the job site by the time you built this
LOL you're killin me
, mini
Real females man up
"GIRL in the woods"
MAN builts nearly the whole cabin
feminism at it`s best
go find another channel to troll. not wanted here
Shes working in the video just as much..im guessing you didnt watch it.....
Well, True, but she is a girl in the woods so she is still correct.
Equal pay for equal work right? pfffft!
The video title says 'OUR PROGRESS' meaning that it's a collaborative effort. I certainly didn't see her sitting on her ass throughout the video.
LOVE your stockade style build. I have never done that and now I want to go start one tomorrow. (can't but still want to) Maybe in June. Thank you MUCH. Stay well and enjoy this wonderful life. :)
Wow, it is lots of muscle work; yet y'all make it look so easy...Way cool.
Thks Brook that's a nice vid - enjoyed the tunes & content ; ya folks are one hard working couple & that's really nice to see your progress > I know the time's can be tough - but rewards are worth it eh >> you & Dave / Daisy are doing a great job - many blessings & safe journey to all - kirk out for now
My heart goes out to u with the loss of your bro. I been there, my son had been on the street for 2 years. Jail etc. It was to the point that all I could do was just pray & send angels in to help him. He is now in treatment. Hope it works. I know where u are and so sorry for your loss. They hav free will. Alot of times there is nothing we can do & the feeling of helplessness hurts so bad. So sorry for you loss. I know u did all u could.
You guys are great!
Nice piece of art!
I'm looking forward to the next video.
You guys rock!! Thanks for the extra effort filming and editing so we can all enjoy this project with you both!!
The peeled Aspen log look is gorgeous.
Watched all of Dave's videos on this project upto date. Amazing job he did mostly by himself. U guys have a awesome place up there. Nice to see your video.
You guys are a great team. That cabin is going to have a great view from those windows. I loved the facing you did reminds me of a gingerbread house. I cant wait to see the final results.
Great job. I hope you and your family will have many happy memories.
Just WOW! a dream,thank for sharing your talent!!
Amazing job! Proves what two people can do. Love it
Nice! Lucky You Have A Grove Of Nice Straight Same Sized Aspens To Build With!!! Very Pretty Too... Thanks
I love this video! Beautiful work.
The wood under that bark looks BEAUTIFUL
I have to chuckle I’ve seen many chainsaws used to rip lumber so I suggested to my husband back after hurricane Ike that we use the chainsaw to rip what was left of a pine tree stump to make it easier to get rid of lol he proceeded to tell me you couldn’t use a chainsaw in that manner. I told him about the mill frame set up designed for chainsaws lol bless his heart I wish he was still here so I could show him the full potentials of a chainsaw.
Wicked job guys. Cant wait to build one myself. Sooo satisfying, it must have been
This is incredible, hard work & dedication Congrats on your new home
Great job 👍you're the man, you guys rock, that's awesome 👍👍👍
I love watching you guys work together... Listening to the actual sounds.. the hammer.. the saw..the drill... nature.. and the music..
