It’s nice to watch someone build there house correctly most diy Alaska home builders on RUclips don’t know what they’re doing you must have experience building !!! Good job !!
There are only a few RUclips Channels worth watching, and you guys are one of them. Authentic, normal, stable, no drama...just living. Don't you ever quit. :)
Pple do get killed unexpectedly on their homesteads by bears. It happens. Not to many yrs ago a guy came home and his wife and kid were killed outside by a bear. It happens fast.
We actually have moose that walk through daily. They can be quite aggressive. There was someone just recently stomped to death by a moose about a month ago on the peninsula. We would rather be prepared because the come up so quietly, you might not know they are there until they are a few feet away. They aren't bothered by the noises at all.
@@northtoalaska2022yup. I have had one sneek up on my twice. One time with the generator going and me running the saw. Luckily it stayed back 20 yards and didn't bother us.
Greetings from Talkeetna. My husband stands and stares off into the woods, too❤. He's out in the backhoe pulling stumps and moving big rocks right now. We are a Milwaukee & Stihl household. If one of those companies builds it, there is a good chance we have one. The house is going to be rock solid.
I love your programs, I watch several off grid programs,if I was younger I might be tempted but at 82 it is too late, I do live off grid but only on a canal boat so no where like you all do, keep the programs coming they are so brilliant.
It's really nice seeing your home beginning to take shape... from my comfortable recliner in a much warmer climate. 😉 I'm looking forward to seeing you continue your journey.
I agree that you buy the better tools if you are going to use them most of the time. Normally buy 1 time use tools (cheap) to get a unique job done, those tools normally take up space in my tool cabinet for a long time before I use them again or get rid of them. Good job overall on the base. Excellent video!!
Wow we live in Perth Western Australia ,our temperatures get hot in summer but watching you guys having to cope with the weather there is amazing,very happy to be subscribed to a hardworking couple who are not up themselves and refreshingly just doing it there’s hope for us yet cheers
Hi Jeffrey, Our summer is almost here! You might be surprised but with warm clothing, the cool weather just becomes normal 🙂 keep cool on those hot days in Perth! And thanks for your kind words!
im in the UK and i love the way your Mrs gets stuck in with you reminds me of my wife many years ago both of us filthy dirty after a long days work making a home for our family, your a lucky man to find a partner in this day and age who doesn't think her body is enough in a relationship she is a special young lady be proud you scored. its precious to find a woman like that in any age group.
My grandfather he passed away but he was from the old country and I know him well enough he would have liked your bild, very sturdy, very strong, well-built, well made, thank you for sharing with us. Denmark everything they do over there is really Stout.
I'm so glad to see a new video. Wish you would do one every week. I love watching y'all. As always be safe and God bless you 💖 Are you all going to have a garden this year
I would like to see a video every week, too. I absolutely love their videos, and this project is well worth watching. This couple works so well together and has done their research.
Glad you are enjoying all the videos! We get out as many as we can handle. Maybe in the future once we get all our other endeavors in order we can devote more time to videos 🙂
greetings folks; since your fur buddy likes chewing on sticks so well, yall need to train it to pile them in one place. it would clean up the homestead in no time at all! i am thankful for yalls videos because they have a balanced amount of action and talking as well as clean language!..........g
You said you had to install hurricane hangers. They are more earthquake hangers. As I was writing this your wife added that the hangers for earthquake. Used a palm nailer when we built my brother's house. They work great.
I actually started using Harbor Freight's Hercules impacts. It's very comparable to my Milwaukee. For the price and the fact that I can walk into any HF store with anything wrong with it and walk out with a new one works for me.
I wish they had harbor freight here, so much good value for certain tools. I don't have any of their power tools but I have one of the mechanic's tool chests, great buy at $1100. A comparable snap-on box is $14k, huge savings! We use a lot of other good hand tools and gas powered tools that have been well worth it from them and saved a lot of money.
To an old builder, your project looks great. HOWEVER, I learned the hard way to pay come extra money and use Simpson tie-downs and joist hangers. I never used nails to tie something together - I used coated screws. They are a lot more expensive than nails or air-nails. But, they don't squeak on floors and the don't pull out. Your comment on Milwaukee is right-on.
I am utterly so impressed with the meticulous planning and execution of your support/subfloor system. If the crawl space is insulated and enclosed your cabin will be standing for decades to come. Might I suggest that after your insulation is installed in your floor system that you add a barrier if 1/4 inch builder's mesh to the bottom of your floor joists to keep vermin and other creatures from taking up residence in your floor system. ou guys make an amazing team, so impressive!
That house should never go nowhere. Your great grandkids will be staying in that house as strong as it’s going to be good job. Tiny Houston MS ( Len Price )
I’m no carpenter in any sense of the word but you showing me something today. I’ve never seen in 52 years. I didn’t even know they made a palm nailer. I guess you can learn something new every day can’t you? Tiny Houston MS ( Len Price )
Insulated pipe tin that goes over commercial pipe insulation. Can do the whole bottom of floor and will rodent proof the underneath . Comes in 3 foot rolls and different materials to your budget ! Beautiful job and keep it up .
It just so happened that after this video a good friend in Anchorage gave us another Milwaukee hex impact so she has one to use for the rest of the project!
Between all your other chores and dealing with weather, it’ll be a tall order to get the cabin dried in before the freeze. Regardless, you’re definitely doing it right. Good job.
Good morning from Cape Cod. You two make a great team. I enjoy your videos keep them coming. Exciting times watching your build. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy spring. Take care✌️❤️❤️🇺🇸
It's amazing that the bear is a natural material. I really love the wooden material from your hands. It created a beautiful house. Photos. I can stay by your side and work with you. Experience the work you are doing. Wishing you good health and success.❤❤❤❤
Nice video. Not sure that the tool comparison was really fair. Comparing a 2 amp battery with a 5 amp battery doesn't seem right, even being partially discharged. I had a Bosch cordless drill and loved it, but after several years, the batteries were obsolete and when you found one, expensive. I went to Ridgid. Tools and batteries are guaranteed for life. No question that DeWalt and Milwaukee may be better tools, but the guarantee and battery replacements are game changers for me.
I just found your channel and it looks like I have some binge watching to do. I am impressed with your desire to absolutely do it right. I've seen so many times they just make it good enough. Bravo
Yes, nail guns are perfect for fast assembly but the shear strength required in some areas can not be met with nails alone. We are working to make the home last for a long period.
Sounded like Katie said I don't know about the birds ... those are called Sandhill Cranes, they are beautiful animals and have that distinct call. Down here in Florida they're called Florida Sandhill Cranes and are a protected class. Love the progress ya'll are making.
Hi there! We love watching the Sandhill cranes. I believe the part of the video in questions was where we were trying to figure out what small birds were chasing a hawk 😁 They were snipes.
Don’t be afraid to use a pump sprayer to damped (not soak) twisted ply and weight it down to straighten it. You can do that when screwing down ply decking sheets so they take the exact shape of floor joists to prevent floor noise and creaking, also as the moisture evaporates it pulls the adhesive into the sheeting grain and acts like extra down pressure to the adhesive-bold!
Looks like all is well there, except for the "bobo" on the finger. The pup is enjoying himself also. Nice to see the floor on now. Perhaps a nice dance floor for later events? Good info on the heat coming up through the pipe. The heat trace is still a good idea just incase. All the best and stay safe. PS: give the pup a pat on the head for me.
Great progress. Team work is dream work. Sorry to see that you cut your finger, hopefully nothing to serious. Lots of tape makes a good fix. Thanks for sharing
Its looking awesome! I'm rooting for you to get the house dried in before the snow flies! Its good to see you overbuilding everything, especially since you are in a seismic zone. Just wanted to mention (as a framer), you always want to block between joists at the load bearing points--where they sit on each beam...especially since yours are spliced there. Otherwise, everything looking good. You might try using your drill for the lag and timber screws instead of the impact...much quicker and quieter. LOL

Glad you are enjoying the longer videos! We are doing our best to keep them entertaining 🙂
@@northtoalaska2022And your succeeding, keep it up your always happy and smiling. Showing your furry friend and the scenery.
First time I've ever seen someone building a house while open carrying but I guess being Alaska it's a necessity.

What a life your dog is living 😊
It is a hard dog life 🙂
I have been a big fan of Milwaukee for years and years, both home and work!
So enjoy watching you do the floor the right way!!

Hey guys, it’s good to see you again, to be honest the way that your building your home it’s so strong it could probably withstand a tornado
Build it right, build it once.
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸
100%! 😀
Out of all the diy’sI have to say yours went together the best. Great team work.
Thank you for your kind words!
Always happy to see a video from you two... Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙂
Using screws is the very best. Well done. All the best. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
No squeak from loose nails 🤞thanks!
That's one heck of a floor
You guys have become one of my favorite RUclips channels. Love how well you work together to complete your Alaskan dream. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Nice job guys it sure looks amazing.
Thank you! 🙂
You’ve done very good work. Happy for you both. Continue to live your dream.
Thr flooring is coming out beautiful. Love it.

Insulated pipe tin that goes over commercial pipe insulation. Can do the whole bottom of floor and will rodent proof the underneath . Comes in 3 foot rolls and different materials to your budget ! Beautiful job and keep it up .
Awesome job!! I use my leafblower to get all the sawdust and debris off my jobsites too!
It works so well!
So overkill but so badass and it’ll last until the end of eternity. Like your style especially with your own home!
What a beautiful build Just love watching you guys Best Wishes Southampton England UK
Thank you 🙂
Appreciate the attention to detail and explanation for the reason you are doing each step.
Believe it or not, the Milwaukee drill runs even faster for those screws. Great tools!
Come on Milwaukee, give Katie a tool😁
It just so happened that after this video a good friend in Anchorage gave us another Milwaukee hex impact so she has one to use for the rest of the project!
Great job, good teamwork
Thanks 🙂
Great video and brilliant progress you are a great team and thorough in all you do.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
My wife and I have built a couple of houses and watching y'all brings back some good memories and a little PTSD. 😊

Wow, awesome subfloor! Good job.
Thank you!
yes Milwaukee tools are great and I have many of them, but hands down My Porta cable outdoes all others and as a pro, I know great tools
Interesting
Nice job! Y’all work so well together. Looks very sturdy.

Hey guy's the floor looks nice & level looks to be a very strong foundation as well ,
blessings to you both ,
by faith alone in Christ:
If you thought the impact sends lags in quick, you should try doing it with the drill, which some say is the "proper" tool for it.
The sub floor looks great! Its a joy to watch your video's. Thanks for sharing.
your are doing such a excellent job. No problem overbuilding anything you 2. Great Job

Very fulfilling to watch you build that . I really like all your Milwaukee gadgets.
Looking good, Looking forward to your next video ❤thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
You really do a great job!
Hello from Dominican Republic it’s good 👍
Hello! 😀
That’s awesome it’s only straight up with the walls from here on out 👏🏼😁! That’s cool 😁👍🏼
If that's not the milwaukee Surge Hydraulic driver, you should give that driver a try. Quieter and more powerful than the regular fuel impact driver.
