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

  • Опубликовано: 24 май 2023
  • 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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    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 …
