    I don’t have not one negative thing to say about these 2 young people. They have done a great job for just figuring stuff out as they go. I’m so excited to be a part of their journey in Alaska as the develop their new homestead. Plus I might add they have a baby under 1 so they are killin it as far as I’m concerned. May not be doing everything just right but they have the get up and go to get it done. Great job to the both of you and thank you for bringing me along on your journey. I’m 65 and wish I could have had the notion to just get up and move like they did.❤❤❤

      So true! To bad more young people weren't as motivated and driven as these two.

      It is better to build up than teardown.
      Not many young people would or could work like these two.

    The shavings from your plainer will wk perfect for your future chicken house.
    You did a great job. You should both be so proud of what you have accomplished since coming to Alaska.

    Your such an inspiration. You two young people work so hard. I remember when you lived in mud when you first moved to your property. Its starting to look so nice. Your baby is precious. Prayers to your beautiful family.

    I love the colour Lori. Can understand why Cody likes the look of timber. He works with this beautiful material, growing on his land, harvesting and milling it. The feel and look of the finished product is like glorifying the tree. For it to be painted over is an affront to the finished product. You don’t have the time to treat it. Sorry to hear those solar panels are out of production. Hope it works out. 🇦🇺 fan.

    Nice job as always, I know Cody you have to love having a dry snow free place to mill and cut wood. Plus Lori is going to love the sawdust in her green house next year. Glad you can get another panel, that should help. Still amazed at what a year makes. I know it's still not a easy life but it's so much easier then last winter and a beautiful baby girl

    WOW! That was a big job done well! I would like to echo what others have said about using another piece of wood to push boards thru the saw. My dad taught me this as a young girl. Don’t want you to lose any precious fingers .

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  3 дня назад

      We have a 2 part video of building it last winter. If I were to do it again I would make the top out of 3” boards instead of the 3/4” for a nice solid top.

  • @tonywaldock4088

    love all your videos. long time fan since video #1. but bro....please use a piece of wood to support and push the wood through the table saw. your fingers were like 1 inch away from the blade. you hit a knot and get kickback your fingers will be gone. lol

    For longer boards you can mill thinner strips and laminate them together with staggered joints.

    How much easier has it been having the well?

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  3 дня назад +4

      Haven’t actually used it since it got put in.
      We have been using far more water than normal though and will need to fill our tank in the next week or so. We made this tank last us the entire winter last year and it seems to last us about a month now using as much as we want.

    Great job. Get some plastic and cut down your shop and get one of those little tent wood stoves and get you some heat out there. Just a idea.

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  День назад

      You were the first to notice it. Yes, we got it just days before the snow came.

  • @DVolvoguy777-x7o

    Enforce that greenhouse a bit, keep a couple of inches of snow all over it, you can make a nice winter work shop in it and keep it a bit warm at the same time.

    A quick question…..is your mill a shorter one or is it just the camera angle? I know nothing but what Ive seen in videos about these mills. They really seem to be a real blessing and a good investment for a lot of people.

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  3 дня назад

      It can cut 11.5’ and you can add 4’ extensions for it. We try to design everything around 10’ lengths and typically cut logs at 10.5’

    What are the specs on your panels? Curious as to the potential wattage they can generate.

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  2 дня назад +1

      They are 400w each, but the new version is 420w.

    • @remotelifealaska

      If I were to build it again I would have the table saw right at the end for sure.

    • @kraazy3271
      @kraazy3271 2 дня назад

      I’m sure you can retrofit it for safety sake but right now you have lots more important things to do with winter coming. I am amazed at what you two have accomplished in your short time in Alaska. Hope you are able to get your own piece of equipment soon. It will make life on your homestead much easier. I look forward to each video you post. I am a retired carpenter and am impressed with what you get done with what tools you have.

    • @remotelifealaska

      We purchased some equipment and got it up the trail days before the snow came. It needs a little love, but we are very excited to use it come summer.
