    I appreciate all the hard work it takes to build. My brother built his log home in Idaho when he had time. Family members and friends would come and help when they had off time. It took about 3 years, but it's still being used as a summer home for family and friends. That was about forty years ago. My oldest brother made all the wrought iron railings and bannisters for the outside. A lot of memories.

      Nothing like having a cabin in a box instead of sourcing the logs and wood from your own property they should have a portable mill to cut there own framing lumber

    A beautiful thing to behold in all respects!

    I absolutely love it that you let your sons not only do some work so they can feel they are part of the success but you let them take some chances. Adrenalin is a good thing sometimes as long as we do not totally rely on it all the time. LET KIDS LIVE PEOPLE!! Not just live in a safety bubble.

    • @stevenjames4659
      @stevenjames4659 2 года назад +2

      It’s obvious you’ve never never seen anyone fall to their death. Im all for letting kids take chances but this isn’t them taking chances. Everything that could fail and kill them is outside their control. The operator, the crane, the strapping, and the rigging. It’s easy to take chances with someone else’s kids.

    We just "discovered" your family RUclips videos and are pretty much binge watching to catch up:). We truly enjoy watching your close knit family activities, travels, stories, etc. Really interesting watching your trip to Alaska and are eager to see the building of your home. In 1968, my family and (I was 18) drove the Al-Can Highway from northern California to Alaska. What an experience! It hadn't been paved yet, just gravel, dirt, and large potholes! We picked berries by the side of the road, camped every night in a tent, washed in the ice cold creeks, saw the wild animals, and had many fun experiences. Now, my husband and I are eager to travel that same road in our camper (glad that it is now paved). Keep up the good work, God bless you and your family in all you do! Bill and Bonnie from Georgia

LOL I can't wait to see the next episode. So excited to see it weathered in and then the interior. Excited to see how you do the finishes and all. God bless and keep you all safe. When Joas was on that log and it sounded like it cracked and he was holding onto the tie down strap I jumped a mile high thinking he was going to get hurt.
    Some talent and boy oh boy this is better than watch the tightrope walker at the carnival. Please stay safe. Can't let anything happen to any of you. God bless you all...........this is so so exciting! Thank you for sharing!!!

    probably one of my favorite video of your Alaska build so far... it's the way you guys still have fun as a team while working. When you let the twins ride the log while being liften, it looks so fun and scary at the same time. Who needs theme parks when you have moments like that with your family? lol! Always appreciate the way you sincerely feel bad about the those beautiful trees but like you said "it is what it is". 😊

As I was watching this video and seeing the water and mud and the ongoing challenges that this creates for you all, it felt like one of those “stop the madness” 😫moments.

    How I would love a log cabin. Lovely to be able to live in something you have all had some part (however small) in building. Great video Thanks. Thanks 🙏
