Welcome to our first season compilation video.
Whether you’re new to the channel and want to see what we’re about or just looking to get caught up, this episode is for you. Join us on our journey from April 2023 through October 2023 as we build our off grid, Alaska Homestead. Come with us as we see our Alaska property for the first time. Watch as we live in a cargo trailer while we start to build our 20 x 24 skillion roof tiny house. We begin developing three water sources, including a natural spring with the coldest most refreshing water I’ve ever tasted, put up an outhouse and take in some of the sights around the Kenai Peninsula.
Thanks for watching,
Craig & Chandra

Thank you for being real and showing the "real people" moments. All those "perfect people" videos make it seem imposible for real people to do this.

That’s why we do it. We got tired of watching the flawless videos. We’d try to do a project we seen online and struggle and be like, why is it so easy for everyone else? Then I realized, it’s just because they won’t show the screw ups. We don’t know what we’re doing and I can’t afford to pay a professional. I might be a bit ditzy sometimes but I’m not a dumb person so I figure if they learned how to do it, so can we. Maybe someone can learn from our mistakes or at the very least, have a laugh with us.

Why would you call them out for them not showing what they may have screwed up maybe they don't feel like showing that aspect, the fact that anyone who gives it a go in Alaska is a " real person" and many who move to Alaska find out the hard way that of how difficult it can be living there as it's not for everyone who wants to try the off grid thing. The Alaska wilderness wins always. Maybe you should get a harness for your recording device then you can help out

WTG!! Glad to see someone with vision and gumption. In 93 my hubby and I built a log in Michigan together. (My idea) Our 2 girls were not happy with a outhouse and showers when it rained or a trip to the river at night so they hung out with friends at a campground. Took us 6 months and lots of friends but finished a month earlier then the bank expected. Lived there 16 years till he got sick, sold it, and bought a place on a river for cash. So because of that home we've had no mortgage for over 18 years.

If you have trouble with your vent leaking in the future. Replace that section of roof and use a Deck Tight rubber flashing. That was a shingle flashing. The deck tight are silicone with a small metal ring at the base that can be formed over the ribs of your flashing. You set it in caulking “Through The Roof” then put a final coat around the edge. It’s a clean fit and you won’t have as big of a hole in your roof.

A good 45:25 way to install scaffolding , just add some cross bracing on the outside of the wall. Then add a 2x4 out from the wall to an upright board long enough to add a 2x4 handrail. Do that about every eight feet and add your 2”c12” walk boards. Use screws so it will come down easily. Add some scrap boards under the uprights. Just to keep them from sinking. Leave them up till your done with that side and go to another. On those side walls. I would put the scaffolding up like normal and just use a ladder for what you can’t reach. This sure is an adventure for you’all. I sure do envy you. Oh one more thought. The dogs will need bug protection. Farm stores carry Permethrin. Just mix it with water in a spray bottle. Just use a rubber glove and spray your hand and just rub it on their ears and nose. If you get a tic. I like to put them on tape. Before throwing them away. Then they will never get you again. Good luck. Later

That sounds like a great idea! We’ll have to try it on our shop build. The one good thing about the short summers in this area is, no fleas or ticks! People do on rare occasions find one so I shouldn’t say “none” but it’s very unusual and they ask you to send them in for testing. Also, there’s never been a case of heartworm that initiated in Alaska, only dogs that come up with it. The life cycle of our mosquitoes is too short. The cold is good for something I guess 😉

We had previously lived further north and Chris wanted to finish out high school with all his old classmates so once he turned 18 over the summer he moved in with a friend and completed his senior year. We knew that was his plan before we bought this property. Help would have been nice but it was something that was important to him so we understand. You only graduate high school once. He’s doing good and we were able to complete it with just the two of us so it all worked out. Thank you for joining us on our journey 🙂

To my dismay, not yet. There was quite a delay in getting their beams for the upstairs garage floor, ended driving to WV to get them. Should have those installed today and work on framing the upstairs walls tomorrow. It’s coming along.

Loved your build. Imagine my surprise when I saw your John Crane weather thermometer! I met my late husband there in '75. He continued to work there for over 30 years. Sure made me smile seeing this! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Shave the top side of the snow off, and then the bottom to the other side of the driveway. At an angle. Learned that in Ohio when I was a truck driver
