  • Things didn't go as planned on this one. I've been teaching myself how to do a lot of things on this crazy cabin build, but this was the most intimidating thing of the entire house build...

I hope you know that while you’re doing the real work, we’re watching with white knuckles and gritted teeth! When you’re done I feel drained 😂
    Beautiful house and I can’t wait to see the railings go up. That boom lift was a huge help, even with the malfunctions that were pretty hysterical! And there’s nothing like good friends who will help you in all that wind and snow. ❤

    There is a little black box fastened to the machine. That has your owners manual in it, per ANSI A92 standard. If you had read it you’d see that you should always have a harness on while operating, at any height. Also, all booms have an emergency electric override to get you down when the engine won’t start. That’s in the owners manual as well. No one ever reads those.

    It's a good, good feeling completing a job like this. Me and my 2nd cousin once put on standing seam roofing in and around the Washington DC / Fairfax area. We did the old style where we made each piece by hand. Biggest diff was ours lays flat between the seams. Keep a good roof on and as long as the foundation stays dry, a house will literally last forever. Metal siding gave your home a very good look. Thank you for inviting us into your Alaskan life.
