Why is our Cabin is FREEZING INSIDE? (Off-Grid, Alaska)
Greetings friends! We just finished our seventh weekend of work on this cabin. This was definitely
the dirtiest week yet. We really kicked up some dust. But as my dad would say, "dreading it is worse than doing it". We now have it behind us and can move on to the fun stuff.
We are trying to be patient with this winter weather, but we need the snow to start melting soon. We are a bit landlocked in between these huge drifts and need to access the rest of this property. But the days are getting longer and the average temperatures are rising so it won't be too much longer.
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments. We read every single one and do our best to respond to as many as possible. So to all of you, please know we appreciate your generous words. They mean the world to us, thank you, thank you, thank you.
What an endearing couple! What a great job and how hard. I'm looking forward to seeing the final result because I'm sure it will be amazing. There are few people with so much dedication to what they love. If there were more people like you, the world would be different. Best regards and hugs from Spain.
Good morning Miguel! Thank you for these kind words. You flatter us. We do love this alpine country, this property, and this collection of worn out buildings. We intend to make something out of them. We have also fallen in love with our KZhead community. We never knew we could connect with so many wonderful people. It is just the greatest thing. Thanks for watching our videos. We will keep creating them. Peace
Love the attitude! engaging with us is something rare in the world of KZhead. One day I will have the same level of calmness as you two!
Thank you for the lovely comment. We wish you all of the peace and calm your life can hold. Warmest regards from Alaska.
I meant to add this on the last video: she really brings so much more to the videos. The interaction between the two of you, and hearing the voices just makes it so much nicer. Really enjoyed your videos before, but this really brings it up a notch! You just might say she adds class to the videos lol!
Good morning John. Agreed. I love having Tanya here. I often enjoy working by myself but life goes by quickly, and being able to spend time together is far better. She keeps me smiling. Peace
Hello Alaska! it's always fun to watch your episodes. gets happy when I know it's Friday in Sweden when new episodes coming from you!. Your joy and optimism makes me happy!! Greetings from Sweden!
Greetings Andreas. It’s so good to hear from you. Sweden is such a beautiful country. I would love to visit there some day. Thank you for watching out videos. It makes my day to know you enjoy them
@@ThisIsMyAlaska your are so welcome to visit our country and see our mountains!!
Great team work. Thank you
I am just loving this series - learning a lot from your planning and reconstruction process but even better, getting to know both of you a bit more. Best wishes from an Aussie fan.
Good morning my friend. Such a nice comment! Getting to know each other is just the greatest thing about all of this. Videography and building are longtime loves of mine but meeting and visiting with everyone is right up there with the best things in life. Thanks, and love from Alaska.
I just found your videos a few days ago and I have watch about 19 in the last 2 days. You both work so wonderful to gather I would say you are a perfect pair. My husband was stationed in Galena Alaska with the Airforce. I hope you keep the videos coming I enjoy them and also your grandson is so smart and kind. God bless you all
Hello Judy! I am so glad you’re here. I have been to Galena many times. I work with the school district there and know many of the local folk
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Your family are so amazing and kind , your wife is lovely and love seeing the grandkids.
"I going to get off the highway so I don't hit a moose!" You don't hear that everyday here in Virginia! Seriously , I love the conversation segments you have added. Your channel continues to grow and I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone that we all enjoy you letting us more and more into your lives.
Good evening Paul. This community feel a lot like family and friends to us. We are enjoying the connections here tremendously. So many people here have shared pieces of their lives with us, and we are humbled by it. Thanks for being part of our lives. Have a wonderful weekend my friend
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I feel the same way Gale. I've never enjoyed KZhead so much since you started your channel. I was instantly hooked and it's become like watching my favorite prime time TV show!
My husband & I remodeled the house I live in now...plus together we turned the pole barn into a woodworking shop, heated with air & bathroom...he built a shed over looking our woods..he also built on an attached garage..when I say I it was really him, I was the gopher, finding the tools he laid down somewhere...to get me out of the house - he would say he had to go to the store to get an elbow, of course then we would eat out....After his passing, I found boxes & boxes of elbow's (copper-pvc-gavinized). I had a building built for my 3 Jd's after his passing. You two brings back memories. Great Video's with you wife added, although she was behind the camera (I believe)
Hello Tanya and Gale. I’m enjoying this project and look forward to every video. Stay safe and warm. ❤️
Thank you Anid. We love to hear from you. Thank you for being such a faithful viewer (and encourager too). Peace
Love the plethora of knowledge your videos provide. You both are so very pleasant to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much Lois. And thank you for spending some time with us. We are glad your are here
You are both so precious! Thank You for sharing!
Thank you so much my friend. We are glad you are here sharing our dream. Peace.
I love that you & Tanya are working like mad as Stella is running wildly with happiness in the background in the snow 😂. Great team work you two & feel that I’m getting to know you both well, thanks for a great video 🤗 Ann in the UK 🇬🇧
Good evening Ann. So glad to hear from you. Stella pretty much ran though every shot we set up. She is just a riot. It is so good to get to know you and count you among our many friend. Peace
Another big job done and more to come. I really like how you both discuss and plan out loud. Lots to learn.
Thank you Rob. So glad you are here. We appreciate the feedback too. It is very helpful. Peace
You guys are a great team! Looking forward to seeing progress on the cabin!
Good morning Lana. Lots of love to you from Alaska
You folks are a fun couple to watch. I love anything Alaska. Never been there. The way things are going probably Never will but I get to live it a little through you folks. You are good people.
I loved seeing this progress video ☺️ thank you for sharing. And I especially loved seeing Stella’s snow zoomies! She cracks me up 😂 have a beautiful weekend - Lisa
Haha Lisa! She’s such a goofball and keeps us entertained pretty much nonstop 😂. Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment. Hugs from Ak.
Good morning from Georgia. Just finished watching another very productive video. I love watching you two work together. You always have things planned out...knowing exactly what's getting done for the weekend. A plan with action! That's how it gets done. Always prepared and such quality in the videos. Not long before you'll have lots of daylight! I love Alaska in the summertime! The midnight sun is awesome! Looking forward to the next video and seeing another great project come together!
Thank you Jewel. Yes, the midnight sun will be back in a couple of months. It is so very beautiful here in the summer months. I have a hard time sleeping because I am running around all night with my camera just trying to capture the beauty around me. I can't wait to share it with you. Peace
Guys you are amazing! Keep going that way! I am looking at you and i feel warm and relax.
So nice to hear you are enjoying our videos. Peace to you from Alaska
Enjoyed the video very much. I loved seeing your puppy jumping around up on the snowbank, Stella was having a great time. Thank you👍
So good to hear Richard. Stella has us laughing so much. She just zoomed through every shot there for awhile. She is just a bucket-full of energy
brother gale good night we just finished watching the excellent video we liked it a lot but what we liked the most is the way you interact with the followers in this case with my family highly grateful a hug for you and your wife tanya greetings from colombia
Thank you so much for your feedback Sergio. It is so helpful. We enjoy interacting with our community. We have met so many great people this past year. It is one of my favorite things about this channel. I will certainly give Tanya a hug from you. Peace.
So good to see the sun up in the sky later in the evening! Good to see the progress too. God bless you both! We’ll see you soon!
Hi Kathie! Can’t wait to see you guys
I follow you from the beginning of the construction of your wooden house. For your new renovation project for this house, I admire what you have already done in terms of work. You are an excellent couple, too bad that there aren't many like you anymore ! Good continuation, I kiss you from France 😘
Good evening Gerard my friend. A warm Alaskan welcome to France. Thank you for your faithful viewing of our channel. We send you our love and peace.
Thank you my friend and I wish you a nice week 😉
I am really enjoying your project. Thanks for sharing!
Thank so much Steve. I appreciate the long time subscription to our channel. Love to you from Alaska
Really enjoying the interaction between you 2 and knowing the plan. So many times I would find myself thinking, what's he doing there...and at the end of the video...ahhhh...now I got it...really looking forward to seeing what this little cabin turn s into. Blessings until next week
Jennifer, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment. We are glad to have to here following along and looking forward to what will happen each week. Warm wishes to you and yours.
I am really enjoying how your channel is developing ♥️. I lived in Northern BC for many years and the longer days were always a welcomed return. God bless you both♥️♥️
Thank you my friend. Yes, I always enjoy seeing the spring sunlight stretching into the evening. It always invigorates me.
What a nice idea spending a little time talking to your subscribers. You channel has become one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. The cabin rebuild looks like a fun project.
Good morning Harold. Thank you for your feedback. We are wanting to get more connected to our community. We read all the comments we receive and appreciate them so much. It only takes a few minutes to address some of them in the videos and it is more personal than simply writing back. We love you guys.
Very different veideo wonderful sharing.intetestingalsosuperb what an endearing couple nice day 🙏 God bless you 🙏 stay connected friend and nice day 🙏💐🤗
So good to see you both again and imagine my shock at finding you working hard in an intense climate - 😀 You remain an inspiration to me to push through the various medical conditions I fight every day and I thank you both for that. Remain as you are, a warm light in the overcast of life. Be well.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment, friend. It is good to have you here in this community of kind hearts. Wishing you all the best and for strength in the struggle. Hugs to you from the three of us.
I find the ending clips heart warming, we get to see y'alls heart shine through more. Thank you.💖

Each video I've been watching I enjoy more and more thank you for the video can hardly wait to see what the outcome is
Thank you Colin. We always love hearing from you. We are excited too. This project is an adventure and we are here for it.
Love your videos and what you’re doing! One of the few series where my husband agrees with your ways of building 😀 So fun to watch!
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your kind words. I am glad your husband is enjoying these videos as well. Please let him know I am always happy to answer any questions or comments too. Peace
I've enjoyed watching your channel for the last year or so. The new format is even better, and I look forward to seeing more of you guys in the future. Just a wonderful couple and Stella, of course. May God bless you both.
Good evening dear friend. Thank you for your encouraging words. We especially appreciate the feedback about the format change. I enjoy the change too. I love the opportunity to work on these projects with with my wife. Thanks for supporting our channel.
Great effort in today's video , well done guys......blessings
Thank you M.A. it is good to have you here, friend. Peace & blessing to you.
I marvel at the commitment it takes to journey up there and only do work on the weekends. However, you are together doing it, and making it an adventure.
Working together does make it more fun and sharing the load together makes it lighter. Thanks so much for watching, friend. Peace to you.
Love how you work together…it’s fascinating to see how you do all these tasks! Good for you 👏🏻💐
Thank you so much Jules. I appreciate your encouragement. It means so much to us.
Watching from N/E Ohio lots of work on the cabin, it’s enjoyable to follow along. Thanks for sharing 👍
Shout out to N/E Ohio and RD Pauley! Thanks for watching our channel my friend
Thanks for sharing your video of the cabin remodel, with your expertise and knowledge I'm sure it's going to be beautiful when you are done with it. Give Stella a hug for me. Til the next time be safe and god bless. ✌️
Dan, thank you for the kind comment and for having vision along with us. We are excited about how we imagine the place to look and feel when we are all finished. Stella thanks you for the hugs 😉. Peace and blessing to you, friend.
I stayed much happy when I watched your last video and I heard your message for me. Thank you so much! God bless you and your wife. See you of the next video!
So glad you are here Sandro. Have a wonderful weekend and much love from Alaska
You guys and my self-reliance is the way that I spend my Friday nights❤️👍
Thanks so much Scott. We are glad to be part of your life. Love to you from Alaska
I started watching you in January 2021. You were always alone and I had no idea you had such a darling wife. She makes your channel adorable. I like watching you do your projects but your wife brings so much more of the meaning to your madness. Thank you for the enjoyment you both give to many. God Bless you.
Good evening Zana. Thank you for your friendship over this past year. I really had no expectations for this channel when I started it a little over a year ago. I had nothing to relate it to so it was just all new to me. I have fallen in love with the people here though. Visiting with so many amazing friends, from all over the world, is so wonderful and humbling. I never dreamed of it. I wish I had started doing this a decade ago. I am also so happy that Tanya is here with me. I enjoy working alone but spending so much time away from her (and my family) to make the videos bothers me. I much prefer to work with her. Thanks so much for making her feel welcome. It means the world.
Evening from England , love sitting here on a Saturday night relaxing with a cold beer or a glass of wine watching your weekly video , loving this project .
Good evening guys! Always so great to hear from you all. Sounds like you have the ideal Saturday night mapped out. We think of you often. Talk to you soon.
I dare you to find a more wholesome channel than this. Subscribed forever.
Welcome Topher. We are happy you are here. We now count you as one of our friends
Watching Stella running around on the snow piles was very entertaining. My hands were itching just watching you roll that insulation up. Hope you both have a great week.
Yes, haha. Tanya and I were laughing so much when we were trying to assemble this video. Every clip there Stella was zooming in or out of the frame. It is always entertaining when we go back and look at our footage, to see what really is happening around us. Until we watched it, we had no idea Stella was crashing all of our scenes. She is a riot. Love you. Hugs from Alaska
Tolle Arbeit 👍😁😊
As always another great video ! I’ve always enjoyed your videos and that’s gotta be shortly after you started the channel but I’m really liking how things have evolved and especially the more interactive aspects explaining what the plan of attack is and so on. Take care G & T ! Much love from Maine ✌️
Good evening Tony. I appreciate your long - time support of my channel and helpful feedback. Thanks a bunch and love to you from Alaska.
I love Stella she makes me smile on each video. Good progress on your home.🤣
Good morning Elizabeth. We love her too. She makes us laugh so much. When we review our footage we find that she is crashing all of our scenes. We never realize it when we are working, it is always later on when we are reviewing our shots. She is just a riot.
I just started watching your channel and it's amazing what two people can do by themselves
Thanks so much Silvio. Welcome to our channel. We’re glad you’re here
The videos are interesting as we see progress on the cabin. But the channel is just lovely to watch as we share your companionship and interaction. Your engagement with your followers is so lovely so thank you for your sheer humanity. That takes a lifetime to build.
Thank you Jim. Your kindness just comes right though. Tanya and I both just love the way you write. We are so glad you are here and keeping us company as we work. You bless us. Peace to you.
I've been watching every episode of This is my Alaska for a year. Very nice and friendly people. You've grown on me. I admire them and have great respect for what they have achieved. Stay healthy and take good care of yourselves. God protect you. A loyal fan from Germany.....🙂
Good morning to you Tom and much love to Germany. Thank you for your faithful viewing of our videos as well as your friendship. So many here have grown on me as well and I count them as my friends. One day I may even visit a few of them God willing. Thanks so much for the comments. Peace to you from Alaska
Howdy y’all from Texas. I just retired early from years of construction and concrete supplies sales, because of a broken leg that hasn’t healed yet. I have enjoyed watching for a couple months now (I had to bing watch to get current). I watch with my grandkids so I can talk them through steps and planning. They act like they are having fun too. I really appreciate the two of to working together on this build, because I use the example to these young kids of the importance of husband and wife’s build relationship as well as home/ remodel. The boys liked how you explained thing to your grandson when he would help a bunch. We / I enjoy your channel a bunch. Lord bless
Hello there Hoss P. Loved this comment. My dad was a concrete contractor by trade. He did a lot of flatwork, stone, brick and years of cmu. He made us boys work for him until we left home. We carried hod, stripped forms, set up walls and mixed mud. Hard and gritty work for sure. After leaving home I chose a different trade :). Give your grandkids a hug for me and tell them it's from Alaska. Blessings
such a strong duo! both your voices have such a calming demeanor. just thought i'd let you know. lol, but thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Good morning my dear friend. Thank you for your kind words. They are so appreciated. I see you on here often. You have been watching for a while now. I appreciate your faithfulness. We are delighted to share our journey with you. Peace.
Love what you guys are doing! What a wonderful journey! Can’t wait to see what you guys are going to do with the cabin.
Thank you Timothy. We are excited to see what we can make of this little place too. We start with a vision and then hope it turns out. With a little luck, it usually does. In any event it is a great adventure and we are glad to have you keeping us company
I like the fact that you interact with your subscribers. Looking forward to more!
It is looking good, I;m excited to see the landscape when the snow melts, if it does.
Good morning Ruth! Thanks for subscribing by the way. We are so glad you are here. This snow will recede one day soon. We are always amazed though, that all of these drifts, even up on the high mountain peaks, can melt over our short summer seasons. I am excited to show you the country and the summer seasons. It won't be long now.
As always you are an amazing craftsman, you two and Stella bring a lot of enjoyment into our lives. Love the videos and more, Peace from Arkansas
Thank you David. It always make us so happy to read comments like this. It just means so much to us to know your lives are made a little better by our efforts here. It makes it all so much more enjoyable and worthwhile for us. This community is really a blessing. Peace to you in Arkansas my friend.
Greetings from Puerto Rico! Love the peace and relaxing feeling I get when watching your videos, you are a meticulous builder, my husband and I enjoy your videos and comment on your skills. Please keep working together you are a Great Team!!! Can’t wait to see the final result🙏🏼Bárbara& Ariel
Greetings Barbara and Ariel. So great to hear from the Island of Enchantment! We have a number of couple that watch these videos together. We absolutely love to hear that. Always feel free to share some of the projects that you are working on together. We are always interested. Talk to you soon. Peace.
Hello from Indiana, you two work good together. I like to watch you doing things no matter how old I am I can still learn new things. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning Roger. Thanks for reaching out. And greetings to the great state of Indiana! You are so right. We can always keep learning. I never want to stop. Talk to you soon
Si great job you do both of you, still so interesting point of view and it’s always a great pleasure to follow your progress, best regards from France 🇫🇷.
Hello Laurent. Thank you for your encouraging words. You have been following me for almost a year now. Thank you for your friendship. Peace
Good morning from Virginia! The beginning of the video brought tears to my eyes. Watching Gale...hope that is correct spelling....lace up his boots brought back such strong memories of my Dad sitting in his chair, lacing his work boots, and getting ready for a day of hard work on the farm. Sometimes it's those little memories that are so strong. Things are really looking good at the cabin. That sandwich Tanya made looked so good that I had one for breakfast! Hope ya'll have a great week! God bless!
Cathy, thank you so much for this comment. So often it is the simplest little moments that seem to bring back memories for our friends here, and we love it when they are shared with us. We feel extra happy realizing that we inspired you to enjoy a PB&J sandwich! For they are certainly one of life’s simplest yet sweetest Indulgences. Your presence here is much appreciated. Blessings to you friend. ❤️
You are such a nice couple. You guys would make anyone a great neighbor. Looking forward to many more videos. Thanks, from Hells Canyon. Frank
Thanks so much Frank. You are so kind. I need to study up on the country around the Hells Canyon and Snake River area. Such a beautiful place
you're just the loveliest couple. It makes me so happy to see you and your wife interacting together. You work so well together
Thank you Mary. You make us feel so good. We just love the community on this channel. The interesting thing is before I started this channel last year I had little experience with social media. About two years ago I opened my first account. On TicTok (of all places). I did it to entertain my grandchildren (who loved it). Prior to that I had never been on any social media platform whatsoever. I had no idea what to expect, but I have completely fallen in love with the community here. It has opened up a world of wonderful people to me (and Tanya). I wish I had started this years ago. Anyway, I am rambling. Love you much my friend. Have a great weekend. Talk to you soon.
I love you both very much, you are an inspiration. Not forgetting Stella of course, she a great doggy.
Hello Jack. This is just such a wonderful and warm and honest greeting. Thank you. We love you too (and that includes Stella). Peace to you our friend.
My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. We are new here and we find your calm demeanor very relaxing. We especially love hearing you explain what you are doing. Stella is a great addition and we like watching her run through the snow. We are from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Good morning Ryan. We are so glad you guys are here. You are so welcome. Thank you for your helpful feedback. We are always grateful to receive it. We listen and make adjustments so again, thank you. You have probably already figured this out, but this is really Stella's show, we just all tag along. Oh, and a shout out to "The Big Friendly". Our best to you and your wife. Talk to you soon.
Hi both of you I’ve just. One across your channel it’s brilliant to see all the work you are doing am following you now because I love watching you both in building your home keep the good work up love Alaska to beautiful place love hazel from Manchester England x
Good morning Hazel and greetings from Alaska. I trust all is well in Manchester, England. Thank you for your sweet comments. We are so pleased to have you here and count you as one our friends. We look forward to hearing more from you soon. Peace
I've been a follower for a while and I must say, seeing both of you in the videos is a real treat! Definitely and enhancement :D I also really enjoy hearing your thought processes ... that helps a lot. Looking forward to more!!
Good morning my dear friend. Yes, you have been a subscriber for over a year, almost since we started this channel. Thank you so much. Also, thank you for your feedback. I am so happy to have my wife working here with me. I enjoy making videos by myself, but it means spending a lot of time alone. As a husband, father and grandfather, it is much better to be able to spend time with my family if possible. So working with others is a much better fit for everyone. We will be introducing some of our grandchildren as time goes on. Love you much. Take care
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Oh yes! I so adored the videos of your grandson helping with the interior of the cabin. He was so eager & capable! You all are such sweet people. Thanks so much for the personal reply :D Made my day!!
I have been watching your channel for a while now. And I love it. You two are a hard working couple looking forward to see how this cabin turns out. Nothing like a good PB sandwich 🥪 👍
Hello Laura. Agreed. It's the energy sandwich! All three of us love them. Once subscriber advised us to grill them. That sounds amazing and we will have to give it a try.
Safe drive to both of you... Be well and be Safe..!!
Thanks so much. We will. Take care my friend
The two of you remind me so much of my hubby of 45 years and I always finding new projects to work on to keep this 110 year old house standing strong and being intact when the 5th generation is ready to take the reins. Our Grandbabies are the 5th generation to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Good evening Cheryl. We loved this comment. Thank you for sharing some of your history with us. We loved hearing about your 45-year marriage. We are celebrating 37 years in a couple of months. Wouldn’t change a thing and we would absolutely do it all over again. I think my wife wants to send you a special greeting soon. Love to you from Alaska.
You two are the nicest people on KZhead. Can’t wait to see what you do! ❤️🙏 from CT
Aww, this is just the sweetest thing. We send a Saturday-morning hug to you Wanda. Have a wonderful day.
LOVE watching your video's, & coming from a warmer climate I often wonder how u keep so enthusiastic every day I looks freezing there most of the time
Hello Peter. Thanks so much for watching us flail around here in the snowdrifts! I don’t really have good answer, but I do wake up most mornings excited to get started on the day’s work. The cold weather is extra challenging and l truly love working and playing in it. More than 50 winters here now and I still love this place.
@@ThisIsMyAlaska I need to thank u, I lost my left leg on the last day of 2021 & your video's & your work ethics along with love of family has helped me on this journey i find myself on 381
Good morning from Brazil, São Paulo! 😉
Can't wait to next week
Aww Tracy, we just love you! You have been our cheering section since we started this channel. Thank you.
This woman reminds me of my wife she passed away almost 2 years ago , your videos is so heartwarming thank you.
Thank you for sharing my dear friend. I am so glad you enjoyed this video. Peace
Thank you for you content, I love your videos, keep up the good work, love from a humble Northern Ireland, Brian from Lisburn just 8 miles from Belfast.
Hello Brian, you are a long-time subscriber. We appreciate your wonderful and encouraging words. I spent a little time reading about the history of Lisburn and it's linen manufacturing past. So much history there. Stay in touch my friend. Peace
Hello from Wisconsin. I have been enjoying your channel very much. Your dog is adorable also. Keep up the good work and good luck to you.
Good morning Janet! Thanks so much. It is so nice to hear that you are enjoying our videos. Stella lost her cute curls this week. They were just getting too hot for her. She looks a little different now, but still adorable
Hi from California. I have watched every episode with pleasure... Be warm..
Good evening Nyquist! This is so cool. Thank you for your faithful support of our channel. Have a wonderful weekend my friend
@@ThisIsMyAlaska Thank you for the kind reply...Today will be 85 degrees here in Joshua Tree. It can average 105 for 3 months straight during our summer. We do get snow at times and maybe hit 26 degrees in December/January. We have the wonderful Joshua Tree National Park and there are only two places in the world where Joshua Trees exist, here in what is called the hi-desert and in Israel. Can't wait for the next video!
Have a wonderful weekend 🌞👍
You too my friend. Good to see you here.
Thank you both so much for another fun (for me!) video, for the both of you, lots of hard work! You two are so sweet, and I am in love with Stella, missing my own little Shih tzu that passed last Fall.
Hello there Bobbie. Thanks so much for your kind words. So sorry to hear about the loss of your little pal. We have a Shih Tzu named Lola. She is 7 years old and is an absolute couch potato. I swear, she sleeps her entire life away in a sunbeam. We have not been bringing her down here yet because we worry about her getting hurt in all this mess, and she tends to just wander off if we let her outside. We will bring her down this summer when things are a little farther along though. Peace
When you first showed us the old lodge, I thought what a great place to restore. Now you're doing it. Looking forward to you next videos. Stella is a true mountain dog who would have guessed. You guys are a great team
Good evening Dee. Yes, we are just getting started on the project. It will take several years to complete but we are here for the adventure. Thanks so much for joining us. Peace
Haven't commented much lately but NEVER miss a video and ALWAYS give them a thumbs up👍. Your videos are very entertaining and the building techniques for your location are always educational‼️ STAY WARM AND SAFE. THANK YOU ‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Good morning Vinny. Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your faithful support of our channel. It means so much, it really does. Keep up the commenting. I enjoy the visit. Peace
Hard work for you both, but fantastic viewing for us. Take care of yourselves ❤️ U.K🇬🇧
Thank you Sandra. We love this community and enjoy sharing our journey. Thanks for watching
I have been following your channel for quite some time and I have learned lots, enjoy much. Will keep following you guys. It is great seeing family members working g together. Keep up the great work and keep warm, spring is coming Dave here from Southern Arizona:: soon to be moving to central Washington 😀
Good morning Dave. Thanks so much for your long-time support of our channel. So glad you are here. I have never been to southern Arizona but I imagine it is warm and sunny. Central Washington is beautiful too though. I love that area of the country. Keep us posted. Peace
I get up every Friday, have my morning coffee while watching your work , very good stuff, yes , it is warm, much too warm for this northern Idaho raised boy, shorts and tee shirt weather most of the year weather
Nice channel and great videos.. Greetings to you and your family from Jordan❤
Hello friend, it is great to have you here. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. Peace and blessing to you and yours. 😊
Good Morning Gale & Tanya - Another great episode on Cabin #1. Amazing teamwork. Working with overhead stuff is really hard work, but you managed to plow right thru it. It is great that Stella is there to supervise and make sure that you get the job done. Wish we could send you some of our warm Arizona weather to help speed up the snow melt. We hit 94 degrees yesterday. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Stay Safe. Regards, Randy in Arizona
Good morning Randy. Reading your comments each week is a high point for me. I value your friendship. Send some of that weather our way. We are ready to get some work done here but find ourselves trapped in a snow tunnel. See you next week my friend. Peace
My husband and can't wait until Friday for a new installment. We tinker with home repairs and try to do as much as we can ourselves. We are not on the same level as you but we do learn from your videos and enjoy the easy going relationship you guys have. We like doing things together and have for 36 years. Looking forward to seeing the end result of this cabin.
Greetings Peggy. Please tell your husband hello from both of us. We love hearing about you two working together. Congratulations on a 36-year friendship. Tanya and I are celebrating 37 years here in a couple of months. It is just so satisfying to look back to when we tied the knot, so many years ago. It has been quite an adventure and we wouldn't change a thing. Talk to you soon my friend.
Classy ending!
Thanks Rick!
Awesome video once again, love watching the progress of the cabin. We have been doing a similar project of our own to a cabin we purchased, the cabins faith was pretty much doomed before we purchased it. It was so satisfying saving the cabin from a doomed faith and giving it life again we loved the project, it was certainly challenging at times but an amazing experience… keep up the amazing work
Hello there Jonathan. We’re with you on that. We are both nostalgic and love to reuse and salvage old building materials as much as possible. It is just a fun way to go through life
Stella loves the snow!
She does!
Bravo

Hello from Ireland, great work, love your videos.
Thank you Mary! Hugs to you from a half a word away. Have a lovely weekend. 😊
Greetings from the southern shore of the Great Swamp Erie in NE Ohio. You are an amazing couple with an insightful project. Looking forward to seeing your next steps with this cabin. Great use of safety gear, keep using it and protect your hands too. Just watching you handling the insulation without gloves makes me itchy. Wishing you both and your furry kid a blessed Easter week and a gentle spring season. Peace.
Good evening Cat. Hailing from the southern shore of the Great Swamp Erie. Welcome, and thanks for the good advice on the safety gear. Truthfully, my wife is the one who makes me wear it. I try to keep her happy :). I wish you a peace-filled Easter season. Much love from Alaska
@@ThisIsMyAlaska It is obvious that your wife wants to keep you safe. It’s inexpensive insurance. Too bad Stella couldn’t be fitted with a mask during the high dust tasks. She had the right idea hiding in bed under the white plastic tarpaulin. Peace brother.
Y’all work so hard and well together! My favorite….peanut butter and jelly!
Thanks Pamela! Agreed. The energy sandwich!
Loving your channel, been watching for a few years now, great team work. Love you guys from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴
Thank you Dorothy and much Love to Scotland. We appreciate hearing from you!
Stela is happy climbing the ice hill's, 🐕.
Haha yes, She makes us laugh with her antics.
Hello Gale and Tanya. Thank you for the next video in which a lot has been going on. The beginning is a great ride on a snowmobile and then a lot of work. I did not expect your renovation to be so thorough. condition and looks like new. I am curious what you planned to do with him. Coming back to the video, thank you very much for the warm words about our relationship. I am very proud of it. It is a pity that I can not speak to you, but as I wrote to you, I only know three languages: German, Polish and Russian and unfortunately I don't know English. I regret it, but I spent most of my life in Eastern Europe. It is enough for me that we have such wonderful friends who bring me the beauty of Alaska. Greetings to you and your lovely wife Tanya. Be healthy. Thank you once again for such warm words.
Hello Norbert. Thank you for your kind words my friend. Blessings to both you and Eva. Yes, this cabin is going to be completely different both inside and out. We are having fun with it though. I am amazed that you know three languages. I never realized that you were translating my comments into one of those languages in order to read and respond to them. I assume you are translating them into either Polish or German? Then you are writing to me and translating your comments back into English? That makes our friendship even more special. Thank you so much for writing my friend. Have a good weekend. See you soon.
Wow! ...that Gyprock was way to easy to take down!...thanks 4 video. be kind.
