Stacking Logs & Finishing The Floor For The Off-Grid Cabin

- LOGS ARE BEING STACKED!
We are so incredibly excited about the progress that we are making on our cabin build. I say this every upload and I hope that I can continue to say it, we are making amazing progress! We couldn't be more grateful for how smoothly the cabin build has gone so far and are even setting our sites on some homestead projects that we deemed for next year.
In this week's video, Levi teaches me how the floor construction goes before his Dad comes and helps us get it knocked out of the park. Then after a fair amount of log sorting, we got to stack some logs! Hopefully, Henry has a better week next week because I am hoping to help set a few logs in my future home as well. Caring for our little man will always come first for me though!
Levi's parents are headed to Colorado for a visit so next week we will probably be working on some side plans before they come back to keep helping with the build. Assuming we get some things done we will continue to stack logs up to the base of the windows.
Windows! We are going to have our very own windows soon.
The excitement continues over here and as always we have to say THANK YOU, VIEWERS. Our amazing RUclips viewers help us make this life continue to be possible and we couldn't appreciate everyone more.

I’m an old grandma, and while all babies are cute, some are more attractive than others. Henry is one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen. I’ve thought this since the first time y’all showed him. His baby squeaks are even cute.
It is great to watch you both working as a well oiled machine! Ready to jump in a tackle anything. Awesome viewing!
Thanks so much for explaining on how you will insulate under your floors. Much appreciated.
This cabin buildt of yours is so much more efficient than trying to do it all. From milling wood etc. This kit log cabin just makes so much more sense.
Henry has a lot to say about the cabin build. You need to listen to him!❤
GPA has this Job under control an Son just behind!!! Yes you seal the Deck 1st, an when the Roof is 🤠🤠🤠on you put in the insulation~!! No rookie~s here, carry ON!!! PS each Man needs a Girl like you!!!
Henry is a natural on the camera. Y’all need some forks for the tractor. Best thing I ever bought for mine.
Another exciting step seeing the logs go up. Henry is such a cutie so great to see him sleep through noise, that is helpful for you.
He's such a trooper! 😍
Oh yeah the cabin is taking shape! Exciting! It's so nice to have Levi's dad there to help. Henry's little face is so sweet. 😊
Henry is one handsome & cute baby!! Love his little red hat!! I hope your channel explodes and you make a lot of money!!!
So happy the cabin is coming along,soon you will have lots of space.just in time for when the crawling stage comes around.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Always enjoy your journey; cabin, baby and all! So much fun!
Oh looking so good! Henry is just precious!
Looking good, it's a start 😊.
Wow Henry is growing away beautifully.you all are really doing well with the cabin building.I really enjoy watching your videos.Have a good week all of you.😊😊🧸
if that barrel is going to be dedicatee burn barrel try taking an axe or a digging pick put some holes around the bottom to make it burn better . looking good around there, be in your new home before long
“When Henry allows” - a new motto for your channel and life? LOL. This phase too will pass. In the meantime, enjoy. God bless.
Aah sweet Baby Henry! Exciting progress on the cabin build. Always look forward to your videos~!
Looking forward to seeing you guys good job
You all are really coming along. Becca, please be careful. Your body isn't made to do what a man can do in lifting. I know, I am almost 70 and I have been having back issues for many years, from doing men's work when I was young and invincible. Henry is so cute! Take care of your body now so it will take of you, when your older.

I can't help but agree 100% !!!!
I was born and raised 1 of 7 siblings into farming life . I assumed the role of doing everything as good as my bro's and sis's. I went straight into life on the land until I was 24. Once in suburbia I was still the lawn mower and yard worker etc after birthing my daughter & son. The years of lugging bales of hay thru the snow to feed stranded sheep and cattle finally took their toll at 43yrs old when a simple but serious back injury occurred after hauling trolleys full of heavy boxes up an uneven gravel sort of pathway after loading and unloading the boxes . The disc & nerve damage was horrendous and the already major onset of deterioration of the spine have left me disabled for the past 26yrs. I have to sleep on a couch to give my back support as I can only sleep on my right side. I hobble around on a walking stick or a hired electric scooter in the shops.
I seriously suggest you RECONSIDER how much excessive work you put on your busy esp your back !!!!!
Since my injury I've lost my only son to suicide at 25yrs old and took on raising his son from 2yrs old. His mother wanted to abort him but I refused to facilitate her travelling to do so. So once he was horn and she didn't want to raise him ,mi put her in mental health facility and prayed long and hard about my grson and was 100% sure God assured me He'd be with me 100% of the way when I accepted the responsibility of raising him. It was a very difficult time as he had so many struggles esp after losing his Dadfy and his future step mum who'd taken her into her heart, but he felt abandoned hy everyone as she'd already gone back to Tassie before his Dad passed.
Anyway, suffice to say, you have zero idea what life will call you to do so please please be ever so xareful of your body esp YOUR BACK. NOW you feel invincible, I did too, but oh how different these past 26yrs have been. If only I'd known in my teens up to 40 what was in store for me. Use other women's experiences to be your hindsight. Much love and prayers for the safety of you all. God is good.🇦🇺 🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏🇬🇧
Wow ! You guys were off to a good start , Then more of that white stuff creating more work, Don't you love the north :) Spring is not here until it's ready :) Henry just loves hanging out & learning !
Absolutely love it here!!
Great progress before to not being lifting to much by yourself so you don't hurt yourself.
You’ll be in it before you know it….congratulations!
Looks good, I have learned that what is need for building down south doesn't mean that it is the same protocol up in Alaska. So I don't ask or say anything, because you are living in your surroundings, because you know better. Henry is growing up so fast. Keep up the work you guys are doing. It looks really good. Have a blessed weekend. Love your videos.
Looking good guys!! and Henry loves to talk too !! so cute!
How exciting to see the walls start to go up!
Been fun watching you guys build your dream. Enjoy your Dad I miss pounding nails with mine every day
Ahhh Henry is a charmer, looks like he knows the camera lol, great progress congrats God bless you and your family 🙏💞
Henry is getting so big.❤
The cabin will look awesome when you are finished.
That was so sweet to see your father-in-law hold Henry Henry's getting to be such a big boy the cabin is really looking good. As always be safe and God bless you all
I had my floors spray foamed DIY by a friend.....afterwards.....bc of rain.

Awesome job team. Bet you can't wait to get moved in. Henry is so cute. ❤
I'm very exciting for you guys.
Becca you are a awesome mom and you guys got in some work on the house awesome progress ❤
Thank you. ❤️
Wonderful video so good to see Henry❤
Your cabin is looking great, and becca i know you want to help, But you should be cautious about how much you are lifting, it wont hurt you right now maybe but down the road it sure may. as an 84 year old i know kinda been there and done that.xo
Thank you guys house built is looking great
Coming along! Good job! So excited for you!
Great progress on the cabin. Henry has a lot to say He is getting so big already. Wow, you are still getting snow. Does Levi have a job when not building the cabin to support the family? The cabin is a full time job ut you will need many things to make it comfortable. It's nice to see young people making their dreams come true.
Levi and his Dad do remodel work for now. His Dad has been a framer for most of his life, so they find plenty to do in our area! In the future, I hope to take over the bread winning with an online store for things we make out of hides and furs. 😍
@@beccanlevisalaska That would be wonderful!
@@mariezafonte6473 Big plans once our living situation settles in! 😍
Progress being made. Goodjob😊
We are going to be building a log cabin kit, almost certainly from the same people you bought from. Do you have a list of tools that you’ve found you need to make it easier to build? Anything I should be aware of up front?
Awesome! Shoot us an email, and we can give you all the details a little better. Levi knows more than I do anyways. 😊 beccalevisalaska@gmail.com
Man it's going up fast 😀hi from Colorado Springs 😀
great job........guys
Looking great. That Thursday snow killed our momentum also. But that's Alaska for ya.
Can't wait to see your guys' cabin come along too!! And to see the snow melt. Such exciting times. 😍
another solid video Becca! I did send out a bunch if things to you Monday. Next time h order again I’ll get a better variety. No point to pay shipping twice.
Thank you so much. That is so kind!! We will keep an eye out for it. Shipping can get crazy fast up here! 😀
It’s just the seeds so nothing exciting lol
@@GhostPepperMeg seeds are very exciting!!
👍♥️
This is so exciting!!! Soon the walls will be done!!! So close and yet so far! But not too much longer! Your baby is adorable! New sub! Can't wait to see the cabin finished!
Get ice Tong's to move logs
🇳🇴👍👍👌
Looks great! Is this a two story or loft above?
It'll have a half loft!
Are you going to insulate the floor under the cabin?
Yes! We are just going to wait until the cabin is done and ready to be skirted so that it doesn't get soaked in our summer rains.
What part of Alaska are y’all located in and I’ve been doin a lot of research for properties but most is not what I’m looking for and have heard from other channels that there is more properties for sale that isn’t on a big real estate website like willow or what have ya… would love to buy a property like y’all’s and by the videos looks to be pretty nice area and not a lot of bogs or marshes. Or is there any other properties in your area? Would love to move my family (wife, daughters) to Alaska from NC which I don’t live in the city by no means but the city is getting closer if ya know what I mean.. thanks for any help or advice. Doin great with the channel and videos keep getting better
We're north of Willow, a good ways! It's 3 hours give or take to Wasilla for us which has its pros and cons. We found our property by picking some areas and sending letters to property owners with no buildings on their land to see if they were interested in selling. We got quite a few replies, and a lot said they replied because we made our letter personable! Try Craigslist for random properties, and even Google search and some other random realtor websites may have things that aren't on realtor.com or zillow! The more creative you get with Alaska realty, the more you'll find. I can't count the places with just a plywood 'For Sale' sign in the yard. 😆 There are a ton of bogs in our area, though! I think the only avoiding them is by going even further into the Interior and even then, I'm sure there's a lot. We almost bought a property here for an amazing price, and I sunk up to my knees the moment I stepped off the road! It looked great in photos, a nice forest like what we bought. Not the case when checking it, though! It's the wild west for real estate here, for sure.
You might spray at mold with hydrogen peroxide.
Is this cabin going to be about the size of Levi's parents cabin or the one you are n now
Same size as his parent's cabin but without their full basement space underneath. It just makes it too tall in our opinions. 😁
Are your logs pine or Doug fir? Trying to determine grain from video but can’t figure it out.
They're actually Spruce. (Pretty sure white spruce.) All sourced here in Alaska. 😀
Becca, where did you get your brown parka and what brand is it?
It's Carhartt! Levi got it for me at Sportsman's Warehouse.
What are you rolling on the OSB Floor?
Olympic waterguard, we got it on super discount from home depot.
How big is the cabin going to be?
20x24 with a half loft!
Being you are living in Alaska shouldn't you save all of your left over pieces of plywood for future projects instead of burning them try to save money
We're saving most of it but burning the moldy broken up stuff!
Where do you get your money if you don't work????
In previous videos Becca mentioned that Levi and his dad were doing jobs, I'm assuming remodeling or handyman stuff.
Hi Henry, stay warm. ❤👩🦳 we hear you talking little man. You guys are doing great work, keep it up!!❤
