  • After a slow start to our short Alaskan summer, we are finally starting our next big build. We hired a neighbor to clear ground to make way for a multiple use building.
    This will house our firewood, be shelter for our side by side, cover for the sawmill, and also utilize the roof for our solar panels as well as create a solar kiln to dry and store the lumber we mill.

    Babies get used to noise, so chain saw would have been ok, as long as she not too close of course. Love what you are doing and all the thought that goes into your different projects.

    Hi, my niece bought ear protector head phones to protect her little one. Then you can make as much noise as you need too. I hope the raspberries and other plants survive. Why not overwinter them in the pots in your greenhouse. Then plant them where you want them to stay. Your neighbor did a wonderful job of clearing the land.Love the arial views.

    Things are looking great! It's going to look so good, I can just see the grass neatly grown and cut, with a rock sidewalk to greenhouse, outhouse and car parking area, and your flowers along each side Lori!!! The blue berries and raspberries all in their own little patches.

    Nice work guys, wish I could be that far ahead but as is usual for everybody, funding can be a drag.
    But I am getting there, one weekend at a time and be living here (30ish miles north of you)this coming winter.

    Solar kiln?

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  18 днів тому +1

      This will be a room to dry green lumber using the heat of the sun.
      Essentially a room with clear walls and roof and a fan for airflow.
      Compared to just letting the lumber air dry in covered storage this will cut our dry time down from a couple years to a month or so. This should also help prevent warping and cracking.
      For more information on it check out Oregon State Solar Kiln.

      Cody has cut hundreds of trees with little issue. The 3 troublesome trees in this video were leaning away from where he wanted to drop them so they needed some coaxing to go the intended direction.

      Looks like they are making do, but it can’t be easy especially with a baby. I would have a tough time in the winter with the lack of windows and sunlight. The clutter inside would bother me too. They go without and make due to follow their dreams. True pioneers. I’m rooting for them.
