Concrete, Shelter Logic, and Parking Pad | Prepping for Our Cabin Build

All while fighting the rain, we hauled 37,000 pounds of concrete, put up a temporary shelter for our building materials, and finished our driveway and parking pad. Now we can bring in everything we need for our cabin without worrying about getting stuck in the mud!

Getting the concrete to your homestead and the associated challenges clearly demonstrates the logistical challenge of living remotely. It is impressive how you adjust quickly to an everchanging set of conditions with a viable solution. Chris, another masterful job getting you parking pad established. Those were some pretty gnarly boulders in what I presume was pit run. Be wary of those who would like to have a hand in spending "your" money. One can always throw money at a problem, but not always achieve a different outcome. Follow "your" plan and stay the course. Really admire what you guys are doing.

@northtoalaska2022 10 ай бұрын

Hey Chuck, the biggest challenge living in our area is the cost. The farther away from the "city area," in alaska the price seems to double or more... with us working on a cash budget, we try to save where we can because we have more time than savings 😄 In concrete alone, we are cutting the cost close to a third hauling it in and mixing on sight. Some instances this would not work out, but with a pier type foundation, we can start and stop periodically. There is no need to pour all concrete the same day. Thank you for your kind words! Always look forward to your comments 🙂

I was going to ask why they don’t use their chains and spread the pit run, but you answered that. The real reason is because those big boulders would clog up the gate! 😂 Anyway, commented to help out with the algorithm. 😊 Driveway is looking awesome! One of the best investments on the homestead yet.

@northtoalaska2022 9 ай бұрын

Yes! The soil is so unstable this year because the rain has hardly let up, so the stone is really necessary to even access the area. Thank you for supporting us 😃

Just a thought, if you need more traction get another set of chains for your tires. a double set on each tire I had a friend he got out of more mud problems than anybody else I know and he had two sets of change for all of his tires I'm just sharing. I love your content you guys are fun to watch thank you.be frugal.

You got some big rocks in your pit run. My biggest rock was tiny compared to your rocks. you have some nice rocks for a retaining walls or whatever. I bought a new e50 excavator just because it was cheaper than hiring out all of the work or even renting the equipment each time I needed to do something. The dump truck drivers don't use the spreader chains because you got "pit run" gravel so they don't know what size rocks are in it.

@northtoalaska2022 10 ай бұрын

Yea, we went with a much cheaper stone company this time, and we were not satisfied with the boulder part, haha. Dibble Creek has a better pit run, but the cost is higher. Do you guys have Dibble Creek up north? I know they are all over the state. I can see the e50 being very useful! We had a kubota mini excavator years ago they are really handy. With the cost of contractors here, it makes a lot of sense to own personal equipment.

@northtoalaska2022 7 ай бұрын

Glad you are enjoying the content! A mini excavator paired with a skid steer is the ultimate package for maintaining a sizeable personal property if you do not farm crops for sure! Then skip the garden tractors and go for the bigger ones to start farming! A large backhoe is the best jack of all trades just not as fast as the mini and skid. They all have advantages but at the end of the day, they are all so much better than a shovel 😅 our explanation in this video was to help everyone who commented on our older videos understand why we were not running out to purchase an 80k dollar tracked skid loader that many insisted we need for building up our property. It's just not in our budget, so we use our antique. We will keep on keeping on thank you!

@josephkessinger5973 9 ай бұрын

I regret buying my tractor, and "wish" i would have invested in a tracked skid steer 11 years ago. (they are way to expensive now) But, best tool I ever purchased is my excavator. It payed for itself the first project. And, I know have a new skill, and can sell it for way more than I payed for it. I did comment on adding the tracks, but did not know that yours could not manage the extra weight. But, you are correct that it is way better than using a shovel. thanks for sharing, and addressing the questions/comments.

@northtoalaska2022 9 ай бұрын

Hello, I've just seen both of your comments! If I had known, we would end up in alaska, I definitely would have invested in a nice used track skid steer prior to the crazy inflation priceing. In Pennsylvania, we lived on a hilly long dirt road that needed constant gravel maintenance and snow plowing. So this tire machine worked out really well for the price, we also used it a lot for loading our firewood. I never imagined doing the amount of forestry work it does now. The mini excavator is a perfect pairing machine to a skid steer and a great investment. Best of both worlds. If you get a nice track skid steer, you may decide to sell the tractor , hard to say. I like mini tractors for not tearing up lawns, running 3 point attachments, and light work. The tractors with tall rear tires and a back hoe really are the jack of all trades! I found all the mini tractors I used with short rear tires and no counter balance on the rear were very top-heavy and unstable while using the loader bucket on uneven ground. That's the biggest downfall that made me go to a used skidsteer. Hope you are enjoying our videos!

The first thing we bought after moving up to Alaska mid-2021 was a used 310SJ John Deere. It's more than paid for itself digging trenches, moving dirt/gravel around and plowing snow. So much better than a shovel 😂. I like all the "landscaping rock" they delivered with your gravel🙄.

The Stone Crete is interesting! We do not have any experience with it. You tube can be such a great tool for learning skills like using your equipment it is great that a lot of people take time to share and help others on youtube. It may actually be a great idea to burn the cut edge of the road cloth to prevent frayed ends. I am unsure if that is common practice. Thanks for watching 🙂

I had the same portable garage. Have to roll the door up by hand then pull the cords to take up the slack and hold it in place.

That skid steer has been a real beast on this job from what I have seen. Not bad considering its 28 years old. Hopefully it survives your cabin build and gets your land in a reasonable state before it ends up going to the great scrapyard in the sky.

We would be in trouble without some type of machine out here, it gets used a lot. The antique has required a bit of attention to keep it in good order but the hours have been stacking up!
