What a big detail to bring the coffee to bed for your girl. You certainly look like a good person from the beginning. I thought you were tired of construction but I was wrong. It has to be a beautiful place in summer. Too bad that the glass of the excavator machine broke. But I'm sure you'll get it soon. A hug and peace for Alaska and the rest of the world, which is needed.
Love watching you two work together, it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. You are tackling another big job there but as usual it's full steam ahead. Can't wait to watch the build in it's entirety, have a great week both of you!!
Good morning my friend. We just arrived for another weekend of work and adventure. We are in the middle of an absolute blizzard here. It will be interesting to see what we can accomplish. Talk to you soon my friend
@@ThisIsMyAlaska With you both manning the bridge I am certain a great deal will be accomplished. I have every confidence in you both. Hope you can find a replacement window for the cab - best of luck with that sir!
Wow,you and the wife are go getters! Sorry to see the amount of work involved removing that carpet,glad I didn't have a hand in laying it.You're making great progress on it along with having to keep plowed out,seems like it never quits blowing there-Lee spent countless hrs. keeping it open especially when arctic man was approaching.Stay healthy while working .Look forward to continued work on this cabin.
The This Is My Alaska videos exemplify the importance of good planning - analyze, plan, execute, evaluate, modify plan (as needed). From planning what equipment, tools, food, and comfort items were needed to vehicles, you get an A+++. The "new" cabin is going to be GREAT!!!! 👏👍💪✌😊❤❤❤
Thank you for the great comment! It does require a TON of planning/ list making and even so it seems like every week we forget something that we intended to bring. Somehow it all works out though. 😊 We appreciate you being here. Peace, friend.
Huge fan of your videos and even more with Tanya. I’m glad we’re seeing more of her and she’s part of this project. Thank you for sharing your projects and trips with us.
Thanks so much Camila. Such encouraging words. My wife and I are loving working together. It makes us feel like kids again. Thanks for watching and commenting. It means so much.
Open concept bathroom. Love it haha. Too bad about your window. I don't know what's better - freak accidents, or knowing exactly how I screwed up 😂 I was installing windows in my house recently, and I leaned one up against the wall. Triple checked to make sure it was secure, but somehow it still tipped backward. It probably would've been ok, but the shop vac canister was right in the centre and it shattered. It was so ridiculous that I couldn't even be angry. At least I had the vacuum ready 🙂
That's a great story. Yeah, I have broken a couple of window out of this backhoe over the years. Frustrating for sure. Thanks so much for watching Frank. I always enjoy hearing from you.
Getting that floor up was a big task and the new plywood should give you a good surface for the vinyl plank. Good idea on the ridge beam to carry the snow load.
Yes, it was a huge amount of work. We were both sore for a few days too. We have been considering vinyl plank flooring, we will see. We have to get that beam in first though. See you soon Richard
Ha, got you ;-) Forgot the log peeler for that nasty flooring stuff - would be a nice thing to have in that situation, but the trick with the saw is really nice. Improvise, adapt, overcome! To see you both living and working so well together is really heartwarming.
Yep, we were sorting though the tools we had on hand. We actually tried an oscillator too but abandoned it because it was too slow. We finally hit on the sawsall. Thanks for watching.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I am very ambivalent with those oscillating tools: It is loud and has not that energy to cut properly. On the other hand: it is safe, and it is also very good for small drywall cutouts or best for cutting out broken tiles. Thanks for sharing all those beautiful videos!
The best part is the morning wake up and morning coffee , the worst part is the carpet removal haha , and the dog is like what's going on haha.....Awesome guys
Wow! I can’t wait to see more of the landscape around the cabin when the warmer weather comes. Your wife is a sweetheart too.great couple! Greetings from Long Island 👍🏻
Would love to have some of that water, please!!!! Great progress on #1 cabin. You two work well together, can feel the love from here in Alabama. Stella is a great supervisor and Tonya, you rock. Peace & Love
Stella is everywhere all of the time and not at all happy if she is not right in the middle of whatever is going on! 😂 Thanks so much for the kind comment, we are enjoying doing this project together and I’m glad that shows. And thank you for the love! 🥰 ~ Tanya
Good morning Mark. This little cabin is challenging. Just getting here this time of year is a big undertaking. We have a vision for the place though and a lot is going to change the next couple of months or so. I think you will enjoy it
Harry, thank you for having vision along with us, it means a lot. That was a long day but we felt like we accomplished quite a bit for one day. We’re glad you’re here. Peace, friend.
John, thank you for letting us know that our talking to the camera is interesting! It is initially a little intimidating and certainly takes a bit of getting used to on our side 😂. We greatly appreciate your kind encouragement. Peace to you.
Watching how both of you work so well together brings back happy memories of my husband and I. We have been married 55 years and remodeled our previous homes built in the early fifties. We had so much fun on weekends tearing down, ripping apart, and remodeling, we worked so well together. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Dementia stage four last October at 76 years old, I am his caregiver and I am 75 years old living in rural Wisconsin. I love watching your videos of the two of you enjoying working together, it brings back so many wonderful happy moments. Thank you for helping me relieve the stress of watching my life partner mentally decline.
Thank you for making us a part of your life Geraldine. It means more than I can express. And thank you for sharing some of your precious memories with us. You are in a tough season of your marriage and you have my respect. Only a few years ago I watched my own mother care for my aged father as he struggled with Dementia. Hold onto those wonderful memories my dear. They are precious. I count you as a friend. Peace
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank you both and I am sorry you experienced Dementia in your life, your Mother was an Angel taking care of your father. Watching a loved one who you know is dying a little each day is agonizing. Love each other with your heart and soul and enjoy each other through work and play. ❤️❤️
You're making good progress. And the three of you (supervisor Stella included) make a terrific team. So glad you share all of this with us. Stay safe, be well!
I’m glad that I came across your channel! What a sweet couple you two are. I love watching the way you’re mind works, and you do a beautiful job, Steller is a great formen and safety officer and that little boy is adorable! What a good helper he is and he looks at you with such adoration , I for one am going to enjoy watching your channel and seeing new and beautiful things thank you for taking us along with you . All the best from Canada
Good morning Pinkwave and much love to Canada. Thank you for your feedback. It is always so helpful to hear what people like and dislike about these videos. We listen and make adjustments. It is really quite helpful. The little boy in my videos is my grandson Drox. Hopefully he will be able to help me this summer as soon as school is out. I am looking forward to it. Again, thanks for all the encouragement. It means the world.
*When I watch your videos it makes me want to live there. But then I remember that I can't live without the beach and surf.* 😄🇧🇷 *Your wife is beautiful.*
....wow I guess patience is key re astroturf/carpet situation..and mokapot coffee breaks...this vid was such a epic break from all the chaos currently happening -take one day at a time reminder for all of us and to pray for peace..best to your family ...
That was some super tough carpet & pad-great idea using the saw on it !! It's amazing how tearing out the bathroom and putting a new floor down changes the feel of the cabin !! Can't wait to see how you get that master support beam up !! Have a great weekend guys you're an inspiration to watch !!
Arlene, that carpet pad was a bear but we’re very glad to have it gone! You are right, it changed the whole feel of the place to have fresh clean boards under our feet. Thanks so much for being here! 🥰
i have had to remove carpet like that before!!! i would love some of that water you have there!!! my city water here is brown. the city sold it to indiana american water & they have been tryin for a year now to get cleaned up!! you have a great helper there, & bringing her coffee in bed proves you know it too;-) send some of that snow down to Indiana PLEASE!!! thanks for sharing & be safe out there!!
Good morning my friend. There is certainly enough snow to share this year. It is a bit overwhelming. We are stuck in Narnia. It is over five feet deep here. Good water is becoming hard to find in some parts of the country. It is one of Alaska’s great natural resources. The best water on earth just flows from the mountains around us.
T&A Supply in Anchorage can sell you a stand up scraper to make this job easier. In double glue installations the pad is often glued down with a pressure sensitive adhesive which can be removed with hot water if the scraper job is not clean enough. The other hint is to turn the scraper blade around so you are not using the sharp side. Will work better as you commented the blade was too sharp.
Yes, you are right about that. If I ever tackle a job like this again I will take a different approach. It took a lot more effort than I thought it would that’s for sure.
Hello Gale and Tanya, I am delighted with the enthusiasm you have taken to renovating your new home. Knowing you already know that you will make and design a new home with taste. I am looking forward to more videos and I greet you warmly
Good morning Norbert. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. We are having so much fun together. I think you will like the improvements when completed. Let me know what you think
We sure are enjoying your new project and love seeing your cute wife working with you. We know this cabin will be awesome like all your other projects.
Thank you Marva, and good morning. We are loving the opportunity to work on this together. It is such a blessing. You will what this little cabin becomes.
Charlotte & Dave, thanks so much for that encouragement. We really enjoy working together as a team and I’m glad its been a welcomed change. Peace and blessing to you, dear friends!
Good evening R.W. Thank you for watching. This is a 5-acre piece of property located way up in the mountains, on the shore of a huge, glacier-fed lake. My wife and I purchased it a few years ago from the former owner who operated a bed and breakfast style lodge here for many years. We have dreamed of renovating the old buildings and operating the business once again. It is a huge challenge for several reasons. It is about 165 mile from where we currently work and live, and are trying to work here every weekend so it is quite a drive. Another obstacle (perhaps the biggest one) is the tremendous snowfall here. We have a least five feet of snow and so far it has not stopped falling. It is a bit overwhelming at times. But we are enjoying the challenge and are excited to get started. It will be very interesting to watch the transition to spring here with all this snow. We will share that experience with you. Peace.
I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and really enjoy your videos. I commend you for the time, patience , and skills that you share with your grandson. Also, I enjoy your videos even more now that your wife is assisting you with the cabin remodel. Thank you.
A fruitful job has been done! You could hardly manage alone, without the help of your wife .. And, of course, I would have drunk some water from this spring! What could be "sweeter" than spring water, from the very heart of the earth! Undoubtedly, you and your wife have a wonderful team! Good luck and prosperity!! I look forward to continuing this wonderful project!
That water is glacier fed and it is the best tasting water we’ve ever had! It’s a treat for sure! It is good to have Tanya with me on this project. She’s a help with the work and she’s also great for the general morale ☺️. Thank you for watching and for taking time to encourage. Peace to you, friend.
Awesome video ! Really enjoy following along with everything that you’re doing ! Thanks so much for taking us all along for the ride Gale ! Take care. Much love from Maine. Peace ✌️
Good morning Tony, greetings to you in Maine. This project has been a big challenge for us so far but we are making progress. So glad you are keeping us company my friend.
Another dynmic duo! Hope Drox isn't to jealous! Enjoy watching you two working together. It pretty much looks like that whole place needs to be redone!
I just found your channel and have enjoyed watching them. I’ve learned a couple things watching you build. You are very gifted at your craft! It’s wonderful to find non-drama peaceful content to watch…..thank you for that! God has blessed you both and I look forward to further videos with you and your wife!
Thanks for sharing this insightful video. You barely finished your cabin and now you are on this project. Really impressed how easily the tractor started. I cannot imagine a functional septic sustenances under all the snow and ice. Love your espresso maker and serving your lady in bed. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Greetings from the north coast of the lower 48. Peace brother
Good morning my friend. The tractor is set up with frost plug engine heaters. I start the little portable generator and preheat it for a few hours before starting it. That is the key. Thanks so much for watching our video. We are so grateful. Peace to you on the north coast my friend.
awesome job, cant wait to see it finished. your beautiful partner/apprentice is a match to your speed of getting a job done! you guys work great together, glad to see the mrs. a part of the story. beautiful couple, thank you as always for sharing in your guys journey.
Thank you for reaching out. I always enjoy hearing from you. I am so pleased to have my wife working with me in this challenging project. She makes it all so much more fun. Working together is what it’s all about at the end of the day. Peace to you from Alaska
Really enjoying your video’s. I freak when it is just above freezing. Do not understand how you handle working in such harsh conditions.Truly amazing..👏👏
Hello there Robin. This has been an adventure for sure. Being prepared is really the key to being able not only to work here, but to also enjoy it. You've got to be able to stay warm at all times, then its a lot of fun. Thanks so much for watching. Talk to you soon.
brother gale a hug for you and for your wife tanya you gave an immense change to your videos including the queen of the home (tanya) a greeting from my wife and my children last night while we had dinner we saw the video and it is very beautiful to see them both together as boyfriends a very beautiful video full of snow I wait in the front row for your very entertaining videos we appreciate them very much and good luck do not forget to tell tanya sergio
This is such a great comment Sergio. Thank you for your friendship. Yes, we have made some changes to the channel content and will be tackling this project together. I am so glad you are enjoying hearing from my little wife. She keeps things fun here. Tell your wife and family hello from both of us. Peace
Good Morning Gale & Tanya - Absolutely brilliant idea using the sawzall to get up that stubborn carpet pad. Lot of work accomplished on this job in a very short time. Great Team Work! Looking forward to the next episode. Have a Safe week. Stay Healthy. Regards, Randy in Arizona.
Randy, we always appreciate your comments. It was a ton of work but the sawzall definitely made it go faster. It was a long day of work but we felt good about all that we accomplished and we slept well 😴. Thanks for being here each week, friend. Peace and blessing to you.
What a satisfying tear out, so clean! So sad about the tractor. I know interior Alaska has gotten massive snow this year, I sure hope the roof holds up until the beam is installed! Love how well you two work together and Tonya, your more than "just a girl", you rock!! Your smiles are contagious! Pets for Supervisor Stellar! Hugs n love from Florida
Good morning Kathy! Thank you for your kind words. We arrived at the cabin a few hours ago in the middle of an absolute blizzard! We have our work cut out this weekend! Yes! Tanya is the brains behind the project! Couldn’t do it without her ❤️
guys it's good to see you smile next to so much snow one day I told you that I live in the middle of two mountains in a small valley where it rains every day and people are very smiling and very happy kindness prevails in this place that's why seeing them smile makes me familiar I love you very much greetings to you and to tanya sergio
Hello Sergio! I love hearing about your home town. You make me want to visit Colombia and see this place of kindness. It sounds like a little piece of paradise. Give your family a hug from me. Peace
Woh! a lot of snow! Good evening from Italy. You know, it hasn't rained or snowed seriously around these parts since December 9th. we start having serious problems. The level of the rivers drops dangerously. and irrigation of crops becomes expensive. What a crazy weather. We had a lot of fun enjoying this video and thanks for sharing it with us, the work team is really fun. A great job awaits you and we believe you will do it great. Tania, the operations brains, is too cute with that pretty smiley face and works hard. Really a nice couple you two. Too bad for the window ....... the unexpected ..... so you don't have time to .... get bored .. :)). two more caresses for Stella and we look forward to seeing you next week. Greetings to all three.
It’s so much snow and I fear that when it finally starts to melt, we will have the opposite problem that you are having. I am sorry to hear about that lack of rain, it must be very concerning. Yeah, breaking the window was a bummer but it can be repaired so we will get to that as soon as we’re able. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind and encouraging comments. Peace and blessing to you and yours. 🥰
I wish the next week the job would be easier for you. I enjoyed seeing your video working together. I hope by summer you would have a beautiful cottage to enjoy more than now.
Thank you my dear friend. You are so kind. We are excited to see what we can make of this little place. We enjoy renovating old, tired buildings and making them beautiful again
What a big detail to bring the coffee to bed for your girl. You certainly look like a good person from the beginning. I thought you were tired of construction but I was wrong. It has to be a beautiful place in summer. Too bad that the glass of the excavator machine broke. But I'm sure you'll get it soon. A hug and peace for Alaska and the rest of the world, which is needed.
Love watching you two work together, it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.
You are tackling another big job there but as usual it's full steam ahead.

Good morning Norbert. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. We are having so much fun together. I think you will like the improvements when completed. Let me know what you think
Thanks for sharing love ur videos

Thank you Marva, and good morning. We are loving the opportunity to work on this together. It is such a blessing. You will what this little cabin becomes.
Got the handgun by the nightstand........NICE !
Good for you noticing the details! Thanks for being here 😊.
A new day, a new project! I give you guys so much credit for your perseverance in that climate. You two take care and be safe!
You two make a fantastic team ,nice too watch you working together . Thankyou for bringing us along .
Charlotte & Dave, thanks so much for that encouragement. We really enjoy working together as a team and I’m glad its been a welcomed change. Peace and blessing to you, dear friends!
Stella is so happy she gets her bed. Such a dear sweet girl. You and your wife are the best team you both got a lot accomplished. 😊
Wieder ein tolles Video - Danke
I love your videos! You guys really know how to live. There is no quit in your souls and I love it. I do wish we had some backstory on this project.
Good evening R.W. Thank you for watching. This is a 5-acre piece of property located way up in the mountains, on the shore of a huge, glacier-fed lake. My wife and I purchased it a few years ago from the former owner who operated a bed and breakfast style lodge here for many years. We have dreamed of renovating the old buildings and operating the business once again. It is a huge challenge for several reasons. It is about 165 mile from where we currently work and live, and are trying to work here every weekend so it is quite a drive. Another obstacle (perhaps the biggest one) is the tremendous snowfall here. We have a least five feet of snow and so far it has not stopped falling. It is a bit overwhelming at times. But we are enjoying the challenge and are excited to get started. It will be very interesting to watch the transition to spring here with all this snow. We will share that experience with you. Peace.
I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and really enjoy your videos. I commend you for the time, patience , and skills that you share with your grandson. Also, I enjoy your videos even more now that your wife is assisting you with the cabin remodel. Thank you.
Really enjoying the videos and it’s nice to have the wife being a part of it all! Well done! First class video
Thanks Craig. We really enjoy putting these together to share. It makes the project so much more fun
A fruitful job has been done! You could hardly manage alone, without the help of your wife .. And, of course, I would have drunk some water from this spring! What could be "sweeter" than spring water, from the very heart of the earth! Undoubtedly, you and your wife have a wonderful team! Good luck and prosperity!! I look forward to continuing this wonderful project!
That water is glacier fed and it is the best tasting water we’ve ever had! It’s a treat for sure! It is good to have Tanya with me on this project. She’s a help with the work and she’s also great for the general morale ☺️. Thank you for watching and for taking time to encourage. Peace to you, friend.
Awesome video ! Really enjoy following along with everything that you’re doing ! Thanks so much for taking us all along for the ride Gale ! Take care. Much love from Maine. Peace ✌️
Good morning Tony, greetings to you in Maine. This project has been a big challenge for us so far but we are making progress. So glad you are keeping us company my friend.
Another dynmic duo! Hope Drox isn't to jealous! Enjoy watching you two working together. It pretty much looks like that whole place needs to be redone!
Good morning Paul. Yes, this cabin will be new, inside and out when we are done with it. It will not look like the same place
This is absolutely incredible!
Just the first 2 seconds alone is breathtakingly beautiful 😊
Thank you, friend! We feel incredibly grateful to be in this amazing place. We appreciate you being here! Peace ❤️
I just found your channel and have enjoyed watching them. I’ve learned a couple things watching you build. You are very gifted at your craft! It’s wonderful to find non-drama peaceful content to watch…..thank you for that! God has blessed you both and I look forward to further videos with you and your wife!
Stella is thinking oh well at least dad is cooking my breakfast right, as I don't like coffee OK. 🐶🐕.
Haha, yes. She is kinda spoiled
Thanks for sharing this insightful video. You barely finished your cabin and now you are on this project. Really impressed how easily the tractor started. I cannot imagine a functional septic sustenances under all the snow and ice. Love your espresso maker and serving your lady in bed. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Greetings from the north coast of the lower 48. Peace brother
Good morning my friend. The tractor is set up with frost plug engine heaters. I start the little portable generator and preheat it for a few hours before starting it. That is the key. Thanks so much for watching our video. We are so grateful. Peace to you on the north coast my friend.
So nice to see you both working together,so mach snow ❄️ to remove, thank you for sharing the video, take care both of you.
Thank you friend. SO MUCH SNOW and it isn’t stopping! 😂
You guys make a great team. Lots of progress. Looking forward to more next week. Peace.
Great to hear from you Malcolm. We hope to change this little cabin both inside and out, within a couple of months or so. See you soon. Peace

Thank you for reaching out. I always enjoy hearing from you. I am so pleased to have my wife working with me in this challenging project. She makes it all so much more fun. Working together is what it’s all about at the end of the day. Peace to you from Alaska
Really enjoying your video’s. I freak when it is just above freezing. Do not understand how you handle working in such harsh conditions.Truly amazing..👏👏
Hello there Robin. This has been an adventure for sure. Being prepared is really the key to being able not only to work here, but to also enjoy it. You've got to be able to stay warm at all times, then its a lot of fun. Thanks so much for watching. Talk to you soon.
Love you guys from New Zealand 😍
brother gale a hug for you and for your wife tanya you gave an immense change to your videos including the queen of the home (tanya) a greeting from my wife and my children last night while we had dinner we saw the video and it is very beautiful to see them both together as boyfriends a very beautiful video full of snow I wait in the front row for your very entertaining videos we appreciate them very much and good luck do not forget to tell tanya sergio
This is such a great comment Sergio. Thank you for your friendship. Yes, we have made some changes to the channel content and will be tackling this project together. I am so glad you are enjoying hearing from my little wife. She keeps things fun here. Tell your wife and family hello from both of us. Peace
This was great! Love seeing your wife on here with you!
Good morning Jan. We are enjoying this little project so much. Thanks for keeping us company.
Thanks for the video, as many videos as possible, God help you.
Thank you my friend. We will keep after it
Good Morning Gale & Tanya - Absolutely brilliant idea using the sawzall to get up that stubborn carpet pad. Lot of work accomplished on this job in a very short time. Great Team Work! Looking forward to the next episode. Have a Safe week. Stay Healthy. Regards, Randy in Arizona.
Randy, we always appreciate your comments. It was a ton of work but the sawzall definitely made it go faster. It was a long day of work but we felt good about all that we accomplished and we slept well 😴. Thanks for being here each week, friend. Peace and blessing to you.
What a satisfying tear out, so clean! So sad about the tractor. I know interior Alaska has gotten massive snow this year, I sure hope the roof holds up until the beam is installed! Love how well you two work together and Tonya, your more than "just a girl", you rock!! Your smiles are contagious! Pets for Supervisor Stellar! Hugs n love from Florida
Good morning Kathy! Thank you for your kind words. We arrived at the cabin a few hours ago in the middle of an absolute blizzard! We have our work cut out this weekend! Yes! Tanya is the brains behind the project! Couldn’t do it without her ❤️
Another beautifully shot video. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank you. We will do our best! Thanks for watching
Great video 👏👏👏👏
Wonderful teamwork. Tanya really is a good companion. Congratulations couple😍💓
Thank you, Lane! We appreciate the kind comment 🥰. Peace to you!
guys it's good to see you smile next to so much snow one day I told you that I live in the middle of two mountains in a small valley where it rains every day and people are very smiling and very happy kindness prevails in this place that's why seeing them smile makes me familiar I love you very much greetings to you and to tanya sergio
Hello Sergio! I love hearing about your home town. You make me want to visit Colombia and see this place of kindness. It sounds like a little piece of paradise. Give your family a hug from me. Peace
Always enjoy watching your videos, thanks.
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment. Peace to you.
Holy crap, never seen padding glued down like that! I've removed a few homes, but never seen anything like that. You guys did a great job.
Ha! Yes, it was really unbelievable. We were both a little sore the next morning
Woh! a lot of snow! Good evening from Italy. You know, it hasn't rained or snowed seriously around these parts since December 9th. we start having serious problems. The level of the rivers drops dangerously. and irrigation of crops becomes expensive. What a crazy weather. We had a lot of fun enjoying this video and thanks for sharing it with us, the work team is really fun. A great job awaits you and we believe you will do it great. Tania, the operations brains, is too cute with that pretty smiley face and works hard. Really a nice couple you two. Too bad for the window ....... the unexpected ..... so you don't have time to .... get bored .. :)). two more caresses for Stella and we look forward to seeing you next week. Greetings to all three.
It’s so much snow and I fear that when it finally starts to melt, we will have the opposite problem that you are having. I am sorry to hear about that lack of rain, it must be very concerning.
Yeah, breaking the window was a bummer but it can be repaired so we will get to that as soon as we’re able. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind and encouraging comments. Peace and blessing to you and yours. 🥰
I wish the next week the job would be easier for you. I enjoyed seeing your video working together. I hope by summer you would have a beautiful cottage to enjoy more than now.
Thank you my dear friend. You are so kind. We are excited to see what we can make of this little place. We enjoy renovating old, tired buildings and making them beautiful again
Wow!!! I enjoyed this so much. Congratulations on such a productive day. Really looking forward to watching this cabin become your home.
what an effort !!!
😘
Я никогда не видела столько снега!как же красиво!!!!
I love your videos! You are so a good team! I watch you from Switzerland 🇨🇭! Greetings from here. Sorry my English isn’t so good!
you will be warmer if you tie your sleeping bags together, lol very good video
Haha, yes
What a great couple. I see Stella is still the quality control manager. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Love the fact the hut has a number on it, some one had a sense of humour!
