    Hi, I'm the grandson of the previous owner of your farm. That cabin was built by my grandfather, father, and a couple of my uncles in around 1990. That was before my time, but it was always fun trekking out to the cabin and just checking it out as a kid with my siblings when we would come up to visit. It was already pretty much abandoned by then and all the sentimental items were removed before my grandmother moved out. I think it's very cool that you're planning to fix it up!

    Great find, nice to get some history of it's origins. Love your idea of metal on the bottom outside, it will prevent it happening again and look great.👍

    Putting medal on the outside is a great idea as they can’t bite through that and then make sure it’s mouse proof as well

    Hello from Queensland Australia. First time watching your channel.. looks to be an interesting property. The cabin is well worth a bit of work to restore it. Dont know much about maple trees.. not a big thing in Aust. Will follow along and see how you go.

    If you want to clean up the area and clear it for the removal of the trees then fence it and add goats, this will give you both milk and meat as they eat thier way to giving you a clean area around the cabin.

    That 500 lbs propane tank is the safest way to have natural gas appliances!!!
    And the owners normally know where the lines are so there's no or shouldn't be any danger of cutting it with say a plow or tiller for the garden they used to burry them with just the filler inlet and gauges in the top protruding up from the ground!!!!
    And if it's kept down by the road for the service company to get to easily then even safer!!!
    It's a shame one can't do that in Alaska because of perma frost!!!!

    OMG...It's really OLD....1996...Come On Man!
    I lived in a Cabin that was built in the late 1800's, now that was Old and it had Problems, like when it Rained Outside it Rained Inside too!
    The Out-House was FULL, it Need hot Water and some other things that made Life Easier, indoor plumbing, and a real Wood Stove, not that Junk of a Franklyn stove...Come On Kid get with it!!

    • @scottfamilyhomestead
      @scottfamilyhomestead  2 месяца назад +3

      Did I call it old? I don't consider the cabin old, but it has been sitting abandoned for 25+ years, which is a long time to be left without maintenance. Some of the items inside are much older than the cabin itself, and it will be fun to look through it all item by item.

      Porcupine are good to eat too. And you dead standing timber will more than likely be ready to burn as soon as you get it cut down and processed. Love the homestead.
