  • We made our first trip of the summer to our cabin. We found a stinky dead moose 100 yards from the bcabin that we had to deal with so it wouldn't attract bears. We pretty much finished our sauna/outhouse build, we did some much needed maint and upgrades to the wood stove in the new cabin and we took a boat ride. It feels good to finally have some warm temps up here

    I was a metal roofing contractor for over twenty years. Use a 3” wide strip of sheet metal long enough to double up and wrap it around the ladder rung, then remove a screw from the screw pattern and shoot it through the metal strip back into the screw pattern, where the ladder touches the roof deck to secure your ladder into the roof deck. I did it everyday to secure my ladders for safety and piece of mind.

    Hello from old lady who lived in British Columbia ,Telkwa.
    Burned alot of wood in a stove. You might change out your short screws on your pipe reflectors for 3" ones it is usually 3" between the pipe and heat deflector. Gives air flow to keep deflector cooler. Love your property and cabin gorgeous. Miss this life style very much. Never minded the outhouse.- 40 was a little tuff I admit. But was doable. Wish you many happy days there.

It's commendable how you approached this challenge with care and consideration, ensuring minimal impact on the environment while also making the most of the situation. Your ability to adapt to the circumstances of living in a remote area speaks volumes about your ingenuity and connection to the wilderness.

    • @diyalaskanlifestyle
      @diyalaskanlifestyle  Місяць тому +1

      I cut all the logs on the property and scribed myself for the cabin. The sauna I also built myself it has dovetail joints all of these trees were also cut down on the property and ran through my sawmill they are 6”x8”. I have a detailed videos of both builds in my remote cabin playlist. Full scribe is a lot of work!!!dovetail is way easier, 3 sided is another good option which is also way easier then full scribe. If your not afraid of a lot of work and want something unique I’d do full scribe. This was my first full scribe cabin and was by far the most demanding project I’ve ever done

    Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc ….
    Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere…
    where is God and His faithfulness…
    God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
    God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
    He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name. 🙏
