Building a Beautiful Stone Fireplace | Cabin Hearth Build | Off-Grid Alaska

  • Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2024
  • In Alaska, we survive with wood heat and the wood stove is the heart and soul of our cabin. Today we set out to build a slate stone hearth pad, but first we must get on the roof and repair/clean our chimney that was damaged by the immense snow storms we endured during the winter. This is a husband and wife working together to make dreams become reality in the woods of Alaska.

    Two are better than one...for sure. I admire your tenacity and meticulousness. Is this an actual home you live in or is it just a vacation cabin? Don't you have to have a metal backing to it or a rock backing on the fireplace?

    Very good job! Something so cool and deeply satisfying building and creating something that will out live you. Its your place that you built but who knows. Someone that isn't even born yet my own and enjoy it in the future. Raising their own small little family in someplace you brought into existence.

    We had a fire in our home. It was a piece of plywood behind the brick. The plywood combusted after a while we had a fire going. Read up on it. While I am on my safety tips get a fire mat for under the grill. Amazing meal. Nice job on the puzzle. I loved it.

  • @johnwillis4706
    @johnwillis4706 11 месяцев назад +6

    Great job guys. My only suggestion is to put a piece of corrugated steel or the like behind the stove spaced from the wall by about 2 inches. It will keep the wall from getting too hot and possibly catching fire.

    • @markwalden6682
      @markwalden6682 7 месяцев назад

      My only suggestion is that you stop with your soft virtue signaling. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. This stove has a built-in fireproof screen, which eliminates the need for redneck corrugated steel. Save it for you double wide

    Just to let you know that I am sitting in my living room in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 with my wife on a Saturday night chilling and drinking a bottle of champagne which one of my friends bought me for my birthday present watching your video, I have watched Timmy for quite a while now and really like his videos which in turn brought me onto your videos. I just wanted to let you know that if I was living in Alaska the life I would probably love is the kind of life that you and your wife seem to have.
    I am very hands on with projects like yourself and your videos are bloody fantastic 👏👏👏 keep up the good work and have a healthy and happy life. ( The memories live on forever) 🙏🙏🙏

    Steve had a really good way of doing this. he took a garbage bag and poked the chimney sweep pole through the bottom , hooked the wire brush up to it and duct tapped it to the chimney from the bottom. and swept it up rather than down.

    • @jimmylarge1148
      @jimmylarge1148 Месяц назад

      Yes! In my state anyways u need 36 inches from the or any wall that doesn’t have metal, rock or otherwise between the wall and the stove. U also need a one inch gap between your non combustible and your combustible wall.
      The code inspector would shut this dude down for sure. 😂 even with the non combustible put behind they still want 18 inches between stove and non combustible

    Well…
    As far as the ash is concerned…
    I’m old enough to remember that here in Europe, people used the ash to cover the pathways and sidewalks in Winter… before everybody was using salt … and … the also put ash in the garden… under the flowerbeds …
    A extra pair of hands, is always useful … building things … not falling of the roof comes to mind 😆
    Oh yes … one more thing …
    One could over engineer things but, you can never go to sturdy … unless you need flexibility of course …
    Good job madame/sir …
    Greetings from Germany everybody 👋

    Thanks for investing time to share your way of life with us. Really enjoy your inspiring content. Where did you get your indoor log rack? I like the access and organization for different size wood which is helpful when burning full time.
    Thanks! Grateful in Bend, OR.
