    I Love your little cabin. You were saying you like separate rooms and plan to put up a wall separating your kitchen, but I feel that would make your kitchen chillier especially in the winter, it would prevent the heat coming from your wood stove in your living room from coming in there❤

    Wonderful Alaskan cabin 😊 It's funny when you said you prefer seperate rooms, we lived in Alaska from 1970 to 1999 and our house has seperate rooms and regular ceiling heights. We retired to lower 48 and the house is "open concept". It actually overwhelmed me, hated it. Got used to it but am actually looking at places on the Kenai peninsula. I miss my Alaska❤
    Thanks for the tour. Loved it. Hope you have a safe comfortable winter.

  • @metamud8686
    @metamud8686 9 месяцев назад

    Great lil cabin! I'm still concerned somewhat for your safety when taking a shower without any ventilation going on in that addition. You now have your water heater venting in-room, as well as your propane heater venting in-room and your shower adding vapor. That area will be humid and during showering you seriously run the risk of running out of oxygen, it being dispersed by CO2 from both heaters and possibly CO if either burner doesn't burn too well (e.g. because it's running out of oxygen). Hate to see you drop to the floor and wake up dead while taking a shower...
    Perhaps crack open the back door while in the shower?
    Cheers on the great upgrades!

    Love the cabin. Have you thought about plumbing the water heater after the pressure tank or maybe it is. I use the same thing but don't have a pressure tank and it's work great for three years now. Didn't think it would last that long honestly.

    • @MitchellsInAlaska
      @MitchellsInAlaska  9 месяцев назад

      I used this one without a pressure tank and it was ok but on a fresh refill of the water tank because of how cold the water is you have to adjust it then and next time when the water tank is at room temp adjust again, that really wasn’t that bad but I want one that puts out a constant temp.

Just wondering if they should be covered or something during the winter.

    I was wondering if an on demand water pump rather than a pressure tank would fix your water flow issue. I'm also wondering if that would simply chew through your batteries.

    • @MitchellsInAlaska
      @MitchellsInAlaska  9 месяцев назад

      The pump I use is an on demand pump. It is a 120 volt pump but works just like an rv pump.
      The water heater works better without a pressure tank for sure but it still has limitations. Such as the incoming water temp will change the outgoing water temp. That’s not a real bad thing if you can reach it from inside your shower for small adjustments which I have used it that way before as an outside shower. Where it is mounted now prohibits that so I ordered one that is actually thermostat controlled instead of flow controlled.
      I hope that makes sense.
