HOW TO MOVE A CABIN!! (Off Grid Alaska)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 тра 2022
- The day has finally come! We took the plunge this week and tackled the cabin move. We wanted to get this done before the ground started to thaw and become mucky. The project went well and we spent our first night near the edge of the lake. The cabin will now remain here until after the snow melts and the ground dries up. Then we will position it better, as we want it to be, and set it on it's permanent foundation.
Next week we will be working on the shop roof. We are looking forward to getting a nice indoor workspace set up. It rains a lot here in the summer and we need a place to keep things dry!
Oh, I almost forgot. I have a surprise for everyone next week! I think you will enjoy it.
Have a blessed week my friends. Much love to you from Alaska
I forgot to mention in my previous comment that a couple we became good friends with while living in Wyoming had a similar squirrel 🐿️ encounter. She found it living outside their home, thought it was cute & fed it nuts to help it survive the winter. Meanwhile, during that long, lovely winter, said squirrel set up camp in their beautiful RV, happily making nests & chewing wires it didn't like. 😳🫣 I don't know what became of 'said' squirrel but I guess the lesson that can be taken from both encounters is .... never trust a squirrel! My aunt used to fondly refer to them as 'tree rats'! 😀 Oh, also, awesome job on getting the cabin moved! Woo hoo! You go! 👍😉
Hello Desiree. Yes, they are not to be trusted, haha. But truth known, I would probably miss the little bugger if something happened to him. We don’t have many squirrels in the mountains
First press like, then watch the post, enjoying every moment, then write and say hello to the two (three) most humbling people on internet. Stella reminds me so much of my late dog, exactly same behavour, full of life. It’s real good feeling to watch you two. Thankyou, by the way the translation of the word ”hygge” was correct, it’s used in Denmark and I think Norway as well.
Hello dear how are you doing?
Thank you Ana. We appreciate the kind things you had to say. I have received some wonderful feedback on the work "hygge" (including how to properly pronounce it) and we are grateful for it all. Thanks a bunch for being here my friend. Hugs.
I too enjoy your youtube channel and I'm amazed at all the construction you get accomplished in the middle of the winter. And secondly, your grandson is a handsome little helpful guy. I absolutely enjoy watching you instruct him on how to build things. This is the type of relationship a boy should have with their grandfather; nothing complicated, just simple instruction on how to take care of himself and his future family. I did not have a relationship with either of my grandfathers, but I envision my relationship with them, being a lot like the one you have with your grandson.
Thank you for the great commercial free and non-preachy content. You folks make me want to grab my backpack, move somewhere far away from all the crazy people and enjoy a simple and scaled-down lifestyle.

4th June , Hello from Queensland Australia, I am 76 young , I was flipping through utube my favourite channel to watch on my Big screen TV came across your chanel , I enjoyed every minute of it , I will be watching more of what you & wife It is the only way I will see countries like yours . Thank you.
Another fun and informative instalment of "Coffee with Gale and Tanya". Stella was in her element today! Thank you for sharing more of your life in Alaska with us. Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend and week ahead. Stay safe, warm, and may God bless the both of you. See you next week...same time...same couch...same coffee!
tanya mam indian?
Boy I did not think the Case would have enough traction to pull the cabin. You proved me wrong. Great video.
Good morning Steve. I was a little concerned about the muddy spots too. I had to raise the bucket a few times to sort of lift the front of the cabin off the ground, but it kept moving right along
Thanks so much, "guys"! You bring such joy!
Thank you Bobbie. Much love to you from these two Alaskans
I am 27 years old, and this is type of life is something that I have always dreamed of. I know it may not be easy, but nothing good in life comes easy. The videos you share have brought me a sense of calmness that I don't get to find much of living in the middle of New York City. Thank you for sharing your life and keep them coming!
You are young, you have plenty of time. I moved here when I was 26 from Ct. I started a remote cabin when I was 47 over 20 years ago.
Brandon, what is keeping you in NYC? You could move to up state New England, or even come to Alaska. Make a plan and do it.
Good morning Brendan. Like the others here I encourage you to come on up for a summer and visit. Travel around the state a bit and explore the country. You have all your life in front of you my friend
@@MyAlaska12 My job, it’s my first one out of college and I need the healthcare it provides. Ultimately if I could be a Fly Fishing Guide, as I have fished since I was 7, and live in a remote area like y’all have set up that would be awesome. I just have no clue how to get started to becoming a guide.
@@brendankrekeler469 just search for fishing lodges (and related searches) in Alaska or where ever you want to move too. Then email them and ask about how to become a guide.
The best line was everything about this is grubby!!!😂🥰
Haha, She's not wrong!
I live in the lower 48 states, am now retired and love every thing in Alaska! The beauty of your channel is the inclusion of all phases of your family life. My wife and I now have 58 years of beautiful life together . I would have loved to live in Alaska , but I can’t do cold. Worked on the early pipeline stuff. Like Prudoe and south. Now 81 hrs old and enjoy your journey. Hope is yours as a good as mine!
John
Thank you John. So good to hear about your time in Alaska. I am currently reading a wonderful Alaskan book called “coming into the country” by John McPee. The narrated version is just fantastic. One of the best Alaskan books I have ever read. You would enjoy it tremendously.
I was amazed at how you moved that building with the stove burning inside I so enjoy your video and you and your wife make the show that much better when you host it together.
That house slid so well it might’ve gotten a speeding ticket! Well done!!
Haha! I love it! Thanks so much for watching friend. ❤️
You both are real. As real as it gets. I grew-up in Labrador. I love what I see. Brings back memories of my Dad. solutions come naturally when you live in adversity! TY for reminding me that hardship is a good thing. A cup of coffee, and a few moments of figuring things out. Bango! Things get done! P.S I hated bring wood in and stacking it! I still dont like it.. 13 years old VS 54 now. Nothing much has changed. I live in New Brunswick now. No more 4 foot snow storms! Yayyy!
:) you are welcome my friend!
Love your videos, especially your fireside chats. Had to LOL when you answered the question "how many cabins do you own?". Love how you two interact with each other. We'll be married 52 years at the end of this month and built our own house 17 years ago. Unfortunately my wife now has terminal lung cancer but she could get as many as five more years. Prayers form all your subscribers would help.
Thank so much Wayne. We appreciate you so much. 52 years is such a blessing. You have our admiration. Give our best to your dear wife and tell her there are two folks in Alaska that will absolute remember to pray for her. Peace to you both.
Stella had a ball that day!! I love the way she dived in between those braces while you to where in there!!
Ha, yes. She is just joy to have along. It is contagious. I find myself laughing throughout the day just watching her never ending antics.
Your adventures together are entertaining & amusing, especially when you don't edit the goof ups & chuckles. We love it when you laugh at each other rather than get upset. We've had some fun & adventures but none in Alaska. This May, we'll have 50 years together, 5 years dating (the old fashioned way) & 45 married. We sold our home & most of our belongings over 15 years ago & bought an RV & hit the road. What adventures we had. We lived in Florida & completely flipped a house... together, like you two do. We sold that & moved to Wyoming & bought a place out there. It was spectacular but after a few years found it necessary to move back home to PA to take care of my mother. Needless to say, we had to build a place back home in PA. Watching you two work together & take on challenges brings back both good & challenging memories. Gayle is like an 'Ever- ready Bunny'..does he ever wind down!? 😀 Tonya, you & Stella are the rocks that keep him anchored! We can't wait until you get the cabin set into its permanent resting place & see what else you have in store for the property. Keep up the humor & the good work & as always....hug Stella! 🤗
Good evening Desiree. We both loved reading the things you said. Congratulations on 45 years of marriage. You inspire us. Loved your RV stories. What a wonderful way to live. Please stay in touch. We look forward to talking with you more in the future. Peace to you both.
Are you sure you have not secretly come to Michigan to watch my wife and I work together? You two are just like us. Especially the sitting down to help me!!! We love your shows.
Haha, I think so many of us married couples are the same. I just love her edgy sarcasm. It takes 36 years of marriage to refine a skill like that.
you guys are so refreshing. Gil, so impressed by the humility with which you accepted someone's suggestion re the bracing. That's why I like you guys so much- You're just gentle, humble, likeable people and it is one of the many things that makes your channel so awesome
Thank you Mary. We appreciate the advice we get from this community. It is all a wonderful and enjoyable conversation. We love you guys!
….the lone “lake”bush + a 9:00 sunset + Stella in a camp chair = perfect finish to my crazy Sunday…not sure about the squirrel debacle but glad you brought extra sourdough…I accomplished English muffins a couple of hours ago-my starter has a place of honor on the kitchen counter…so love these vids..here’s hoping to y’all adding some more lakeside bushes this summer 🤍
Hello Lindy Lindy. Always so good to hear from you. We are looking forward to a wonderful summer, fishing, camping and of course, working on our projects. Peace
After watching you making all these changes to this cabin and the tense moments due to the safety factors, I was thinking y’all might be crazy. Now I know for sure! Lololol Please take that in humor!! Take it with a pinch of salt! It just shows how much you know about safety and thinking things through before you execute! You’re very talented and cautious and knowledgeable. It’s exciting to see your vision is coming into reality! 👏🏻
Hi folks I watched this on my phone while I was supposed to be hard at work (city council) great video but I’ll really need to watch it again on my laptop to properly enjoy it.
Stay safe all of you
Haha, good morning Scott. You got to keep the city council in perspective after all. Thanks so much for your enthusiastic friendship. ❤️
Hello from Australia, I just love watching your new format. The silent ones were brilliant but getting to know you both adds an amazing level of intimacy to us the viewers. You amaze me with your talent and your humour. I am a quilter and I have so many visions of quilts for each of your cabins. It’s a plan anyway. Stay safe and well. Big hugs for Stella the wonder dog 😍
Good morning Karen. Tanya loves quilting too! She has boxes of fabric in the shed and covers the living room floor with them for weeks at a time. You two need to talk.
Hello! I love the videos, I haven't missed any since 1 year ago when I discovered the channel, greetings from Argentina❤🇦🇷
I love all your videos 👍 I like how you read comments at the end of your video. Very personal. For your viewer's❤️
Thank you Laura. We love our community and have made so many new friends out there. Thanks for being one of them ❤️
Happy mother day 💓 Tanya. Have a very happy 😊 and joyful day with your husband and family 👪. I will have with my children hopefully. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind wishes! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family tomorrow! Hugs from the three of us! ~Tanya
Tense moments watching the big move but every challenge overcome. I’m so impressed with your ability to figure things out as you go along. I had to chuckle when you had to put snow back. What a gorgeous view.
Just finished watching the video on my laptop this time and it made a lot more sense, the little things like what the chains were for which I must have not noticed on the mobile screen,,, so my lesson for this week was no matter how much I enjoy your videos I should exercise patience and wait till I can watch them properly on my laptop.
I think the placing of your now means the deck will be a very peaceful place to watch the day come to a close, great video once again thank you both for sharing.
Scott, thanks for persevering and giving us another chance on the big screen 😂! We do hope to sit on that front deck this summer and watch the ducks swim and the fish jump (I’m sure we’ll also be watching a great many mosquitoes but we’re going to ignore that image as long as possible 😉.)
We always appreciate your kind encouragement. Have a blessed weekend. 😊
@@ThisIsMyAlaska our deck backs out onto woods and we have the dreaded Scottish midge (like a mosquito but with alligator teeth 🤣🤣)
I look forward to seeing your dreams come into fruition and some videos of that view without the mozzies that we will all be ignoring in support of you guys 😂👍
Alaskan mobile home🤭 love your videos. Thanks for taking/making the time to do them so well. Love from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Thanks so much Chuckles. We love creating these videos and visiting with all of you guys here. Much love to you from both of us.
Epic move.
I think Stella has Spring Fever.
I too cannot wait for your next video. I laugh so hard, I’m on the edge of my seat, and I tear up at the sunset and Gale throwing snow balls for Stella. The beauty and tranquility, the quiet peaceful calm. And if anyone wonders how to be with your love for so many years just watch them still holding hands, getting a coat, offering to make coffee all without being asked and all the playful banter! My wife and I lived together, worked together and raised a family together for 30 years until she passed 2 years ago at the age of 55. We used the same exact receipt, respect and appreciation. Your videos mean more than I can say. Thank you and I appreciate you guys! Also love all the wonderful comments. Oh, I too laughed myself to tears when Gale
Good afternoon Jerry. We loved reading the things you had to say here. Thank you for sharing so much with us. We are truly honored. You seem like a man I would enjoy knowing and sharing some coffee with. So much love and respect to you (and the memory of your bride). So much love and peace to you both.
What an incredible job, if they tell me, I don't think so. It is one of those things worthy of the greatest admiration. A big hug from Spain and congratulations on that great job.
Ha ha Stella is extremely happy today, 🐕.
Haha, yes!
I am absolutely floored that the windows or any glass didn't break! That was awesome ingenuity.
Hello Levi. We left the door ajar so it would not bind in it's frame. The windows did great though. No damage that we can see. Thanks for watching.
Hello Gale and hello Tanya! Again Alex from Argentina, I've been waiting all week to see how this project continues, and I was amazed at how fast the landscape is changing. Its beautiful !!
Those skis worked perfectly!! You can tell when someone knows what they're doing, because they make it look easy, and Gale makes everything look easy!! (Even moving a cabin!) Thanks again for your videos, and for taking the time to read and respond to comments from around the world! Big hug to you two and Stella!
Greeting Alex! So good to hear from you my friend. The snow is melting quickly now. You will see a lot of changes over the next few weeks. I will do my best to show you country as it happens. I love getting out there with my camera. Thanks so much! Love to you from both of us ❤️
Hola!!! Les escribo desde ARGENTINA mi nombre es JULIO los sigo desde hace mucho tiempo, me encanta lo prolijo que eres trabajando, yo también tengo oficio plomber, gas, and electrician. Stella es formidable les envío un beso y abrazo enorme me gusta lo que hacen saludos..
Greetings Julio from Argentina! So great to hear from another tradesman. Thank you for your friendship. Talk to you soon. Peace
You inspire me to build even tho i never built nothing at the age 46 çant give you enough praise on your skill
Thank you so much. You are an inspiration to me too. I am honored
@@ThisIsMyAlaska appriciate that straight from the heart and you and your wife have a bless and safe life
Well, that gave a whole new meaning to moving house! 🤔😂 Glad it worked out, was on the edge of my seat for a bit. Loving your videos here in Scotland.
Greeting Julie and a big hello to Scotland. It is just so cool to know that you are so far away but still sharing our lives in in Alaska. We love that. Peace
Love the inclusion of your wife. You are a very gentle man. Saw with your grandson and I see it with your wife
Thank you Warner. I am so pleased to have Tanya join me. It is a dream to have her work with me and share this experience. Thank you again for your kind words
Giving new meaning to the words “mobile home”😂😂👏🏽👏🏽great job!
Hello from the mountains of Georgia, I grew up in Fairbanks (Ft. Wainwright) as a kid for about 7 years in the 60's . Then I went back in the 80's and went to Adak, Alaska. Alaska has great memories for me and I can relate to all that you guys build and experience. I have been watching you guys for I guess a year and have never commented. Not sure if can handle the cold now that I'm in my sixties, but I plan on flying up in a couple of years. At Adak we would fly rod fish during spawning season, I think it was late july early August, quick season to fish. Thanks for the memories.
Joe, you were here at such a cool time. Many things have changed and yet the wilderness is largely unchanged. I remember how it was in those days when the JC Penny parking lot was unpaved and 5th Avenue in North Pole was a dirt trail. Do you remember Uncle’s Pizza Parlor? (Maybe it wasn’t around until the 70s). We also enjoy thinking about those childhood memories. When you come back up I hope you will stop in for a cup of coffee and a chat. Thank you for watching and for taking time to comment. Take care friend.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I do remember the fishing and camping season from about 1960 to 1967. We never had problems with bears or moose... I also remember the earthquake in anchorage 61 (I think) and the ocean water reaching the second and third story of many buildings. We went to anchorage the next summer for a camping visit. Two of my brothers were born in Fairbanks. There were seven of us plus my parents. We did a lot of outside activities in the warmer months. Back in those days there were shacks that they would smoke fish and meat. They would sell it and it was the original jerky, but better. We also went to Lake Louise before it was a resort, just timber houses with barely wood floors. It is in Canada, and I think it is a fancy resort now. I have so many memories, I think that is why we sold our big house recently and now live in a very small cabin that we built (I made my extra money building things for people). It is kinda like Alaska just not as much snow, and I have kept my friendly attitude from that wonderful state. Oh I also remember the ice breaking up in the rivers and water ways, what a noise.... Ps I would like to visit when we go up, it would be great to see what I remember and visit the changes...
Picture prefect!
This was awesome to watch! And I'm like, I can't believe you guys just moved a house(cabin)!👏🏾🤯🎉
Thanks a bunch my friend
Another Wonderful & Educational Video. Thank you for Sharing your Journey & Life with all of us, here in the Lower 48. Shalom !
One in the MESSIAH !
Greetings Robert. So much thanks to you. Sharing our lives with you is a pleasure. We are so pleased to count you as a friend. Shalom!
What a view! The barrel stove looks like it would really put out the heat. Thank you for sharing
Another amazing video.. you bring so much into your videos and I look forward to watching them.. thank you and God bless
Hello dear how are you doing?
I loved this move fascinating, and perfect little Stella perched on her special chair. 😊
Thanks so much Elizabeth. So good to hear from you my friend.
The messages you read at the end of your videos remind me a little of the Bush messages that used to be read on public radio stations in Alaska. I think they might have been called Tundra Talk, or something like that. Anyways, after living in Alaska for 35 years and raising our kids there, but now having had to move away, I can only say that I miss it every day of my life. Your videos always take me back (and keep me guessing where all of your cabins actually are). Thank you for what you do.
Yes! We grew up listening to Trapline Chatter aired by KJNP in North Pole. It was a wonderful season of life. I don't know what I would do with myself if I ever had to leave Alaska. I hope one day you can visit and we can share a cup of coffee down by the lake. Peace
I also love the fact that you and your lovely wife are not afraid to get down and dirty lol.
I thought to myself several weeks back ... “Is Gale making a giant sled out of his house? Nah, couldn’t be... that’s ridiculous! Why would he add runners to his cabin?”..... me on Friday morning while enjoying my coffee “holy smokes! Gale and Tanya made their house into a giant sled so they could move it!!! genius! Pure genius!”
It all makes so much sense now. And the timing was perfect. No wonder you needed all that snow.
I Thoroughly enjoy every second of every minute of every video. Cannot wait to see how things unravel and I’ll never doubt a far fetched notion of what you “might” be doing.
All the best from eastern Long Island, NY.
PS. I love how you guys get along... always laughing and enjoying each other. What a wonderful thing! Say hi to Stella
Haha! Well you guessed correctly! Glad you were still a little surprised. Thanks so much for the fun comment. Peace and blessing to you friend. 😊
I am impressed with your abilities. To move a cabin is a huge job, but for two souls to move a cabin with all that snow is a feat in itself, bravo! I so enjoy your videos from North Carolina! Alaska is when of my favorite places to visit. Take care
Good morning Pepper! We are so excited to get this little place scooted across this property. It will be beautiful back here at the edge of the water
Very creative guys, with your cabin, make it and then locate it in another place. I never imagined that what happens in my country is that to buy a lot equal to your cabin, you have to work half of your life to save and thus have as buy it but if you own that land you can place it wherever you want greetings and it looks beautiful annelo see the summer to be able to locate myself well my family loves you gale tanya
Forgive my silliness, but I just couldn’t help it. When I heard you say that you where moving that small cabin that close to the lake, my first thought was, “There making a Houseboat”. It took me several minutes through this video to realize what a crazy idea I had. But I know y’all could do it.👍
Thank you for another fun and entertaining video. Your fan from East Tennessee.
Hello Richard. That is not a silly idea at all. I have always wanted to build a small houseboat! I have to get these old building squared away first though
I gotta say. I’m a early day fan. I live in the hustle and bustle of NYC. I’ve always dreamed of retiring in Alaska. I came across your channel through your construction videos as I am a project manager for a construction company. I love watching your workmanship. It’s hard to find a quality like yours these days. You show me what’s possible in Alaska. Your videos are calming. The dynamic between you two is just so bucket list. You have the whole package. Your channel will take you to the stars. Keep up the amazing inspiring work and thank you.
Finally a dose of reality! “Where’s the pencil?” Love it! Granted it wasn’t 10 minutes of, “I just had it a second ago” and a litany of cursing but it gave a sense that the struggle is real. 😉
I just about fell out of my chair when the rails were within a 1/16th!! But then again, it shouldn’t surprise me. Your work is impeccable! It did remind me of a joke - you’ve probably heard it…
What’s the difference between a carpenter and a cabinet maker? 1/32 of an inch. 🤣 However, a 1/16” over a 20’ span is cabinet grade precision in my book! Well done - loved this week’s video! Have a great week!
Thanks so much my friend. Your comments are a lot of fun to read. This project has been a lot of fun. We can't wait to see how it all turns out. I think you will like it.
That was fun and educational video moving the house. Look forward all week for next video. Stella is like are Darby (12 inch beagle) she is spoiled so we just say she lets us live in her house. God bless be safe and have a great week.
Interesting to see the process of moving the cabin. I had to laugh at your conversation when Tanya said, “Nobody believes it,” but it’s clear you two make a great team and he does value your help. Thank you once again for creating a nice, safe, informative place for your viewers to spend time. Blessings to you and yours. 🙂
Haha, she is a absolutely my right arm out here. I couldn’t do it without her. I just have to keep her in plenty of coffee 😂
Beautiful SUNSET .... BUT too bloody cold
The frames with the cabin moved on sleds are very cool and full of power :)
'ROCK STAR' he is! Exciting but tense!
Another awesome video. I have watched all of yours, several times.
Thank you so much James! That is super cool and we appreciate it.
My word of the day is grubby ...thanks tanya... i hope to use it daily now..
Haha! ❤️ Thanks for being here friend and thanks for loving the word grubby along with me. 😂
Your videos are extraordinary! There is so often a ‘first’ for me, incredible to see it’s possible to move a cabin! 💐👏🏻
Thanks so much Jules. I am so glad you are enjoying them. Peace
I have been watching for over a year now. I enjoy this series. You both work together well. I love the little bit of comedy between the two of you.
Thank you Gilmond. We appreciate you. You can be sure that there are two folks in Alaska wishing you the best weekend ever!
Really love and look forward to your videos. Even though I know nothing about building, I learn a lot by watching you both! Keep up the good work…you are a bright spot in our sometimes troubled world. All the best from NE Iowa!
Wow! That was so cool...watching you move the cabin. You are so smart and can figure out just how to do anything and everything. I so admire your motivation to get things done. I love, love watching your videos. It is the highlight of my weekend! Thanks so much for sharing "your Alaska " with us each week!
God's blessings. Tonya, hope you have a very Happy Mother's Day!
Til next week!
Thank you Jewel. For our part, we love making these videos and sharing them with you. It is such an enjoyable form of communication and entertainment for all of us. We appreciate you and your wonderful encouragement. Thanks again
Been watching for quite a while from Ireland - love your channel, I don't do cold lol. It makes me happy seeing you work in those conditions with such obvious, unpretentious happiness and taking joy in your surroundings..... as for the squirrels! :( ouch!. Enjoy :)
Thanks so much Paidi. We send our greetings to you and to beautiful Ireland. It is wonderful to know that you are sharing our dream from so far away. We wish you the best weekend ever
Aww, thank you for the shout out! How lovely. ❤️ It was fascinating to see the cabin move. When I saw the video title I thought you would be moving the stuff from the inside to the other cabin, but then you literally MOVED the cabin. 😆 My hubby thought my misunderstanding was hilarious. Oh well, here’s to having a moment. Once done your location will be lovely, though. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Cuddles to Stella! Monica & Oliver from Tasmania.
Monica & Oliver, it is always good to hear from you. Thanks so much for being here, for making us smile and for your ongoing kindness. Take care friends! Hugs from Ak!
Thank you for sharing your adventures. I Enjoy the Channel💗
Thank you so much Linda. We are so glad you are enjoying our channel. We sure love our UA-cam community!
Nice guidance, Tanya! 👍
Lol thank you Vince, I aim to please 😂.
Its amazing how cabin moved without breaking its gona be amazing view next to lake but now u cant tell from all the snow😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 i hope i get mensioned in your future videos peace to you and your wife🌸
Thank you my friend. So glad you are enjoying my videos. Peace
Nice to see you again both of you such a pleasure too watching you guys working hard and your cabin going to look awesome you doing very good job I can't wait and watching your video and Stella such a nice dog quiet like to play she's awesome take care and see you on next
Another great video have a blessed Mother's Day Tanya
Thank you so much Daniel! We appreciate you! 🥰 ~T
It's your Friday night fans! You did not disappoint! We laughed so hard about Stella she reminded us of the movie Funny Farm with the dog that just runs around crazy. The boards reminded us of Christmas Vacation movie. I'm glad you didn't take that clip out. That's what makes it real. My husband is completely glued to this episode.
Haha! Melissa!! Yes, she acts just like that dog sometimes! And I think we all have a little of Chevy Chase in us at times 😂. We are so glad to have you and your husband here and thank you for the fun comment. Peace and blessing to you and yours.
Good Morning Tanya and Gale - You have just given a whole new meaning to the term "mobile home". Wow! So awesome to see this Herculean task completed. It took a lot of knowledge and skill to accomplish this move. Never doubted for a minute that it would be a success. Sure glad Stella was there to help. Thank you so much for providing these positive videos every Friday. They always show what you can accomplish with a positive attitude and are very encouraging. Stay Safe my friends. Regards, Randy in Arizona
Yes, this little place moved along very nicely once we got it started. We have a little ways to go yet but we will wait until the snow is all gone and we can find that survey stake!
I keep recommending this channel to all my friends it’s just so wholesome. It always makes a great start to the weekend. Moving the cabin on those skis was just awesome. If I was 40 years younger I would consider moving to the USA and especially Alaska it just looks so untamed.
Aww, thanks a million. We love our UA-cam community so much. It is truly a small world and we are all very much alike. Peace to you my friend.
Just amazing how well you two work together. Love the ‘coffee fireside chats’ that happen every week. I do miss your grandson helping out, very impressive young man. This is Dave from Utah wishing you both a great week ahead. STELLA…Your awesome!
Thanks Dave. All the credit goes to my wife. She has a biting sense of humor which I love to illicit. She keeps me in stitches. I think she must be the most patient women on earth. Peace to you my friend.
That was a really cool process. It's so odd seeing 4 feet of snow all around you and then needing to lay some snow down under the skids....anyway, it's perfect lubrication. BTW my wife was complaining the neighbors are doing some sort of construction...actually I was playing your vid and the backhoe's backup alarm was beeping. I'll let the neighbors take the blame. Thanks for sharing the process with us!!
Haha! We’re okay with taking the blame on that one! Too funny! 😂 Thanks for being here and for taking a moment to leave a kind word. Peace friend.
Was late to watching the vid, but as usual a great job was accomplished. Great work you two!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked it
A beautiful and harmonious couple Gail and Tanechka, I was worried that Gail would get his feet wet, but apparently he didn’t even notice it, a fantastic move! May the Lord protect you! Greetings from Ukraine-Kharkov!
Hello friend! Thank you for the lovely comment. Waterproof boots are the only way out here, especially at this time of the year 😊💦. Peace and blessing to you! Take care.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank you ! Good luck !
A real pleasure watching the both of you guys working so well together...thanks for sharing.👍🎄🙏
You are so welcome ❤️
Another really neat video. Moving the cabin was slick because of your know how of getting things done! Here in Ohio we will be hitting temperatures in the 80’s starting next week…..wish we could share it with you guys.
Thank you so much for sharing I really appreciate these videos and any video from Alaska because it shows me how to survive or at least I think that way it’s funny when your wife says you want coffee ☕️😂😂she’s running from the job see you guys next week
You are so welcome Ivette. And yes, you have Tanya pegged. She would much rather make snacks and coffee any day. It is so much fun to have her out here beside me though. There is no one on earth I would rather work with. Peace
I am in Brazil, in the State of São Paulo, in the city of São Paulo, capital. I follow your videos and I really like your work, effort, creativity and your intelligence. I love Alaska. God bless them!!
Maria, greetings to you in Brazil! Thank you so much for the very kind comment and blessing. Love to you from Alaska. 😊
I really enjoy watching everything you guys are doing ❤
Sou molt coratjosos a Alaska! Fantàstic!!
You sir with your wife's help of course are the most gifted individual i have ever seen. It's inspiring to see you do anything, take on any task. Good Day from Ballard Washington.
Terry, you are so kind. Thank you for leaving such a wonderful and encouraging comment. We appreciate you friend. Take care.
Hello From North Carolina we are enjoying
Thank you Phillip! It’s good to have you here all the way from NC! Peace & blessing to you.
You're so adorable, Tonya, but I think you could have used a Klondike Bar
about 35 minutes in. 😂
Another enjoyable video. I was amazed at how articulate you were with the fork lift blades when you needed to make a turn. I was holding my breath and praying for your roof,
but your manuevers were spot on, Gayle. Thank you for a fun video. I love you both! ❤
Haha a resounding YES to that Klondike Bar suggestion! 😂 He is pretty darn good with that tractor but we don’t want all this praise to go to his head 😂…jk jk. I was right there with you Carole, thinking, “please don’t hit the roof, please don’t hit the roof! 🙏🏼.”
Thank you so much for the very kind comment and for being your lovely self. Hugs to you from Ak. ~ Tanya (and Co. 😉)
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I think I've been spelling your first name incorrectly, Gale. Why oh why was I adding that "Y"? 😂❤
It actually happens quite a bit lol… 😉
I watched you move all that snow out of the way in earlier episodes and now you move it back!!! Such ingenuity! Absolutely love watching your videos. You and Tanya are a joy to watch - and Stella too. Thank you!
As always you two and Stella bring joy and adventure to a somewhat normal life down here in the lower 48. You are an amazing craftsman and engineering marvel. Stella was in puppy mode today and a joy to watch. Thank you and Happy Mother's Day to Tonya. Peace from Arkansas
David, Tanya thanks you for the happy Mother’s Day wishes! Stella is a goofball out here and never stops entertaining us- she’s lazy and on my sleeping bag (literally snoring) or she’s barking at birds or she’s chasing snowballs and zipping around like her tail is on fire! She adds such fun to our day to day experiences. Thank you also for the kind compliment, we appreciate you. Have a blessed and peaceful weekend.
Where there is a will, an idea and plenty of tools and capability, there is a solution to a problem. :) Appreciate your channel. Apropos "hygge": Creature Comforts for the win!
really peaceful seeing you two helping each other. god bless your loves forever.
I love seeing you two working together - along with Stella's antics. She is so cute running around. There was no doubt in my mind that you would be able to move that cabin with no mishaps. Keep up the vids and the working together. :)
Thanks so much Judy. We were pretty certain we could get it slid over there in one piece. You never know for sure though until you do it. Peace.
Oh what a great channel this has become, tirelessly working & with great banter between you both & seeing Stella bounding happily in the snow. Such a pleasure watching & look forward to next weeks instalment, take care both of you Ann 🤗
Ann, we love you and always appreciate your kind comments. Thank you so much! Take care friend. 😊
I love to watch your videos, they bring me such a peace! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments here on internet. Greetings from Brazil 🤗
This is just the nicest thing to hear. Thank you Ilma. So much love to you from these two Alaskans.
I find so much peace in your videos. Watching the video I kept wondering how on earth are you going to move this house - but it got done. And love the way you close taking the time to talk to us. Thank you!
Thank you Teresa. It makes us so happy to hear you find our videos peaceful and enjoyable. We love our community here. We have made so many friends here. That is one of our favorite thing about this channel. Thanks again for your encouragement.
You amaze me with each episode, you have got to be the most patient man on this earth.
Oh thank you! Don’t let my wife hear you say that though, she would be chuckling for sure
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Ha
You three (Love Stella!) are just so fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your adventures in your Alaska💜 God Bless you, your family & your Alaska 💜🙏🏻
Thank you my friend! Peace to you from Alaska
If it wasn't for your teamwork, the cabin move would have been so much harder. Such an amazing family. Looking forward to seeing the beautiful movement of the sun in a few months. What a beautiful spot for the cabin. Stay safe.
That worked out great, you picked the perfect time to move the building which I'm sure you already knew lol. The ground was just right, not to thawed or you would have been buried up over your wheels. I enjoyed the clips of Stella so much, I love watching her run a play in the snow. I thought I was going to cry laughing when she patted down the snowball you gave her with her front paws, So Funny. I know my Best friend Hans S from Sweden is going to love that part also. Thank you so much for the videos, sitting down with a cup of coffee & your latest video has became my Friday morning routine. I wish the both of you a Wonderful week, returning the Love from Oklahoma.
Hello Stubby! So great to hear from you. You have us both wondering if we will ever hear from Hans S! Tell him we are asking about him and we want him to join the party. Have the best weekend every Stubby. Peace
