A Tour of My Self-Built Alaskan House | Start to Finish Build Video

[@benr2862]

I had not realized how much Dustin has helped you from the beginning, a truly good friend!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup couldn't have done it without him !

[@harlanmclain1719]

Yeah I remember them days we all would helped each other good old days 😊

[@melissacross9263]

@TruckHouseLife I just found your channel. And love it. Just a little tip about your tongue and groove inside the house, the sun makes the board's darker if you don't stain or seal them. So everywhere you have something on the Wall's like the caribou it will stay lighter under it. So when you change your decorations you will have the outline of what was there previously. I learned the hard way! 😜

[@KDad514]

Judging by the (almost) finished product I think you can comfortably call yourself a carpenter at this point. Well done Tim, well done.

[@7passionstar]

Not only did you work hard to build that beautiful house, you worked hard to edit this massive video! Thank you for bringin' us along! ❤🎉

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks!

[@bradhackett4078]

I bet this one to a hot minute to edit!?! Moving into a house you build with your own blood sweat n tears is one of the most rewarding satisfying things I've done in my life. Such an accomplishment!!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup lol

[@sharonfarber5176]

Wow, I just stumbled upon this video and spent the time to watch it through. Amazing craftsmanship I’m awed by your skill and talent Beautiful! Happy new year ❤

[@gayaamundson7973]

Your dad should be so proud!!! You have so much endless talent!!! Your Wicked Alaskan Cabin is a TOTAL Dream!!!

[@co5mic501]

I had 25 years in Rough carpentry before health issues took me out, Mostly all Custom homes, That house looks like a lot of fun except for weather! Thanks for posting and for bringing back Memories, Cheers!

[@jillfracci767]

My husband is a carpenter. Can’t get him to hang a picture. Tim IS DA MAN. 😅

[@PsychicOnADiet]

Omg…. I’m in the same boat mine won’t fix anything at my house!!!

[@michaelpitcher2536]

😂

[@michaelpitcher2536]

Does Alaska have building inspectors/inspections? Asking for a friend😊 That build is amazing!!! What was the cost of the entire build and what is the value (Zestimate😂) of the finished product? Finally, do you have a rental cabin attached to the new build? Get your General Contractors License! You’re a builder now! Everything including the kitchen sink! You should be viably proud of a job well done!

[@adrianapettit7798]

Oh my God Tim ! You’re a truly blessed man: you’re talented, hard working , has the best friends you could ask for like Dustin that help your dreams come true! Badass ! You deserve all the success !

[@TruckHouseLife]

So grateful:)

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

You truly have a beautiful home Tim, and what makes it even nicer is the fact it has your sweat built into it. I don't think iv ever seen a more beautiful house...

[@BrLambert]

From your rough sketches to your house from your dreams, this will be such a nice place to come home to after your road trip.

[@Bahzing1]

Omg...your home is absolutely so stunning , I am so envious of what you have done. I'm old so I look at all the wasted years in my life, and am not regretting it any of it but you, my friend are amazing with what you have done with your life. Amazing!

[@littleal4139]

Dude, you put the so called professional carpenters to shame. It's awesome

[@TruckHouseLife]

😂

[@jumpingjacki4541]

Hello from Texas. Dude, you are a beast. First of all, carrrying that countertop section freehand & all the other heavy stuff. Secondly, finishing the build in a years time doing it yourself with all that weather is nuts! Love the channel, cant wait for your lower 48 adventures this fall. Take care.

[@handtalker2k]

I watched bits & pieces of the build but it was really nice to see the whole thing from start to finish so far. You've built yourself an awesome home. Looking forward to seeing it completely finished. You have incredible skills to build a whole house & wonderful friends to help you. You are rich indeed! 👌👍👊

[@Sushi2735]

WOW WOW WOW! Such talent! It is so cozy and beautiful ! Many years of happy living. I’m blown away!! ❤ AND…….YOU HAVE MUSIC AND TALENTED FRIENDS!! And lots of friends to share it with.

[@joeyoliver504]

I hope your neighbors and you look at the house after the whole journey and think "damn, he built all that" because that's all I can think. Glad I could see the whole thing and then again today. Congrats on such a beautiful house

[@214fabienne]

A true Renaissance man!! Just Amazing~ Thank you so much for the wonderful Video.. You Rock~

[@susanharrigan5583]

Renaissance man -exactly the term I thought when watching the vid. Fantastic job and must be totally satisfying to enjoy the fruits of all that labor. Christened by friends and music, may you have many happy days there!

[@ThunderPants13]

Damn, I'm impressed. You could give me 50 friends and the rest of my life and I wouldn't be able to build anything close to this!

[@careem3463]

Well, considering you have to build in order to pay for the build itself, I bet you would've done the same

[@mrfoodarama]

Absolutely beautiful, I'm blown away how you took this from a vision to a reality!

[@tracymac1111]

That’s the most impressive build I have ever seen. I could ramble on for ages trying to convey my admiration but I’m sure I will be echoing everyone else’s thoughts and feelings who have watched this video so I’ll just 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@janhazen9185]

Tim thank you so much for all the amazing content you share with your followers. I am not sure how I discovered your channel, but I am sure glad I did!!! I am one of those people that for several reasons cannot get out in adventure as much as others, so following your channel has been a real pleasure! You were such a positive person. I'm sorry to see a few negative comments here. Congratulations on your dream house! Well done! Keep doing what makes you happy!!!❤

[@MelissasMusings]

If this house doesn’t scream “I’m a Bad A$$ Carpenter” I don’t know what does! 🙌🏻🤗💖💕💝 We just live in a world where we believe we have to have a degree or be making a living at something, in order to be “allowed” to say we ARE that thing. You ARE insanely talented! You ARE an artist! You ARE a Film Maker and Editor! You ARE a House Builder! You ARE a Musician! And you’re a kind and decent human being! ☮️🫶💖 Thank You for sharing all that you are with all of us Timmy! 👏🏼🌺🫶🕊️☮️💖💕🌸🌟🌗🌍

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you Melissa:)

[@lanageorge4014]

You have created a majestic home and lifestyle. I can see you put a great deal of hard work and initiative and skill into everything you do.

[@cuchulainn200]

You have a beautiful home, and it's beautifully built. Stunning views, and I wish you a long and happy life in it, full of happy memories

[@richardcarter9395]

Speechless on your ability to create. What a beautiful job. I never saw the beginning. Stages of framing. Thanks for putting this video together. Big fan of your life.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you!

[@cccccccccccc242]

Your home is stunning!! I can't wait to find my forever home. Your home definitely gave me some inspiration😊

[@GaryCedestromIII]

I'm in a walking boot as we speak. I feel your pain. A huge pain in the ass. I've learned more watching this guy build things this past year than I have the previous 42 years.

[@horaciogomezrey1439]

Astonishing! Unbelievable! No words! The result is amazing! Congrats pal! From start to finish, you made it!

[@davidhillman3410]

Well Timmy, I watched and enjoyed every episode is this series and you got me to watch this hour and a half recap on top of that. You must be doing something right! I love the house and all the special details from the in floor heating all the way up to the rooftop deck! You rock! So when is the next build series? lol. You’ve got to be exhausted!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you David!

[@MsLori-BassGirl4Life]

I live it. I've always wanted ro live in Alaska and off grid. I had no idea your mom's mom was Portuguese. Your sixk get u some Portuguese pepper, put it in everything and some potato callard soup with mild or hot portuguese sausage garlic onions n the hot pepper. That'll fix u uo good. I live cooking food liek the islands, and I'm damn good at it too. Do you hunt as well? Finally, I just got my license, and I'd love my trappers license. Can get on the trappers line and build a survival cabin on it in ontario. I'm not sure if you can do that where you are. But I love your vids. Your crazy to drive in all that yet it's exciting too n so beautiful. Id never see half those places if it wasn't for these vids and your adventures. I love love love your camper. It's exactly what I've imagined building in my head. I'm still waiting on ny damn truck to be fixed. I gave up on the guy that went n picked it up. I just wish I'd seen it before I gave him my cash. It's a while. Lotta trouble waiting to be fixed. It has 226k but damn shes rusted out in all the places they rust. She has great potential if i can get past all the other crap and get to bondo. But im building the same camper, well similar to yours, and I can't wait. Then I'm outbox thsi apt again. I have my rv but she's just too big n I can't park in places that won't notice me hahaha off in the bush, yes, but stop when I need to definitely not. I'm putting in a tiny woodstove too ans all the backups. Maybe one day we will run into each other. Life's funny that way. But if not, I'll enjoy watching your vids n maybe one day. I'll upload my own. Where did u say you got your mukluks I got a lot of pairs, but those are ones I don't have, and I very much love them ones. Anyhow, take care and safe travels 😊❤ you eat too many cookies???? You guys are crazy funny 😊

[@MsLori-BassGirl4Life]

I LOVE LOVE THAT WOOD. THATS SEXY AS ALL HELL. OMG IT LOOKS SO GOOD 😊

[@hollylewis5302]

🥳🎉 CONTRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW HOME BEING 99.9% FINISHED! 🥳🎉 That was a ton of work you guys did! Enjoy it!

[@mikefedor]

I am absolutely speechless! I have seen every one of your construction videos among all your past ones. Your home construction video in its totality leaves me in admiration of your accomplishment. You deserve all the joy it brings you. You are a tremendous human being. So glad I found you on KZbin.

[@urmil5]

Amazing! Been watching the build from early on and it’s amazing seeing the final product!

[@pnwusa]

[@ak-northman726]

I bet That roof deck is the hang out spot. Those live edge counter tops look great. Well done man. 👍🏻

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks 👍

[@platinum1389]

Amazing Tim !! Congrats ! Hard work and Sacrifices pay off!!

[@cherylleewilson6625]

Tim, you are truly amazing and not only have built a home but also created a work of art from your own mind. You should be so proud and will enjoy your home for so many years to come.

[@rongeri786]

You are plain amazing. Enjoyed watching your high work ethic and your ability to make and keep long lasting friendships and find personal fulfillment! Best to you from Bend, Oregon! Great job on building your home. Lots of talent! Ron and Geri

[@markstout6187]

Dude, you've got some mad skills. Love your woodworking and mountain flavor decor. Impressive work ethic. Keep it up. Live, Laugh, Love Peace.

[@6o6rov]

I think that this is a perfect definition of what leaving a dream is! Good job man, I am really happy for you! This house is really cool!

[@THE-THATCH]

A truly great accomplishment, in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Take a bow, sir. 👍 Enjoy, mate.

[@Speakno12]

Wow…. First I totally enjoyed watching this video. Beautiful house. That’s a memory maker there. Watched your NC video & that led me here. I’ll subscribe because you are out there doing what I would like to be doing but the body gave way, age crept up. Enjoy it man. 👍🏼

[@snowy9587]

Literally just passed your house on the seward highway, looking good!

[@pamquinn2772]

Hello from 🇺🇸 Pennsylvania 😊 So much time and Care, Hardwork put in to your Dream House! It shows, Well Done!👏 Congratulations, Many Happy , Healthy, Years of Memories, Blessings 🙌 💖

[@jessicapower8585]

The dark stain looks great, and wow, I hope you are so proud.... this house or "cabin" is amazing!!! ❤❤❤

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks Jess:)

[@bhortmoreton9886]

Very beatiful house!!!! And excellent and tough work buddy. You must be very proud of it. Enjoy!!!

[@MsLori-BassGirl4Life]

You should be so proud of yourself. You even made doors? The stairs are fabulous and the roof with a fireplace and lights for friends. I love it all. The floors are so gorgeous ..just amazing. You done a really amazing job, and im a girl. Girls like pretty things, and thats so pretty cozy and like home. You have a bunch a great friend's too. I thought I wanted a smaller house, but now i changed my mind after seeing all this. This is a home to come back to for sure. Wow, outstanding.

[@TulaJoJohnsonSullivan]

I'm watching this awesome build. My Dad would have loved this. He would have driven to Alaska from Central Florida to help you on this. Beautiful woodwork. My Dad built my Mom's kitchen cabinets out of red and white mahogany and her living room valances out of white oak. He living room tables all out of bird's eye maple. Thank you for this video.

[@digdugbingo]

Tim, you're living up there man. I mean really living. My gawd man! It's an actual Fu$%@ work of art!!!

[@FLIPPER1439]

Wow, absolutely beautiful 🤩 My brother built his log house 1990’s. A beautiful house with a loft. He made his bed frame like yours.

[@KevinHalverson]

Very innovative, I've never seen anyone use a snowblower as a tow vehicle, but it worked!

[@LisaJohnson-f8o]

Totally awesome!! Lots hard work. I know you are proud. Beautiful view.

[@chagosoutdoors3122]

It looks fantsatic Timmy. You also have great friend to help you out when you needed it. Cheers to Dustin.

[@debestanley3709]

It looks amazing!!! A lot of personal touches thru out. Just one thing you should put the blinds inside the window frame that way there’s no light peeking through! But it’s so spacious and you & your friends did outstanding

[@clip1720ETH]

that's a beautiful house man. i cant imagine how good it must feel knowing you built this yourself and now are like 95% complete. congrats bruv.

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

It’s been a wonderful journey. I have watched from the beginning to the end and this kind of sums it up. I know you’re going to love it. There’s nothing better than saying. I have my own home and I built it myself. It’s beautiful and that rooftop deck is awesome!

[@ensom]

i know you are a super humble dude, but I think it's fair to say after building two homes / cabins, you can officially be considered a carpenter. :) really enjoyed watching you build this awesome home. all of your content is exceptional, you capture the wild beauty of alaska with your adventures, and you yourself are a great example of the wild pioneering spirit of the people of alaska. i look forward to watching you travel all over north america in the the truck house.. i've always wanted to build my own camper, and your videos inspire me to persist at this goal, im slowly collecting the resources i need and planning it all out!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks:)

[@PsychicOnADiet]

Wow …. This is one awesome property. A rental and Air BnB plus your main house. This was spectacular planning and execution!!!

[@wendybrown2056]

I'm about to break into happy tears, oh my god Tim I'm soo happy for you.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you Wendy!

[@tonysok5261]

Amazing to see a vision come to life🎉

[@rhondaserges5136]

Looks like a house that would be comfortable to live in ... the wood work and stone work is fabulous.

[@jumpingjacki4541]

Love, love that shower tile. I am remolding my bath & will use the same tile after seeing yours. Great job!

[@TruckHouseLife]

It turned out great!

[@njb2111]

Brother. Huge Congrats from Minnesota. Thats a huge accomplishment. 🤝🏿

[@cdnbuddy5798]

CONGRATULATIONS TIM, TOTALLY AMAZING IN EVERY WAY!

[@PsychicOnADiet]

This is truly amazing…. And to do this yourself…wow!!!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you!

[@AlbinOnishchenko]

WOW! I'm speechless your house is sweet! Love the wood interior, roof deck view. Well done!

[@franw4736]

You have a beautiful home. Its hard to believe youre not an experienced carpenter. Love the rustic vibes. Great job!

[@EmilyBoltz]

Creating that pitch and the drain on the rooftop was amazing to watch. What a great house !

[@Gunsgame1966]

Amazing home mate so creative it’s a credit to u 🤟🏿

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup!

[@sarlacii]

Awesome dude. You're talented guys... I mean I do a ton of DIY, but it doesn't stretch to building a house! Brilliant, thanks for taking us along!

[@raysixteen21]

I just stumbled across your channel, and man did the algorithm do well! I was born and raised in California, so I have no idea how it feels to live like you in Alaska, but you are honestly making me want to make this a goal of mine. I think a place like this should be showcased on AD, because there is way more soul in this home than most of the others. I hope you do well here and that it stays with you a long time!

[@andrewpotter2285]

You forgot to mention that your living room side table is the cut out from your bathroom sink 😎 Well done

[@bidyutmondal317]

The house design is so good. I literally will love to have a house. Love from India 🇮🇳

[@mitzithomas8346]

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Absolutely beautiful... That would cost $3 Million in northern California. You have.done an incredible job!!!!!!!

[@VonFrickenx]

Haven’t had the time these past couple months too watch, been watching since the start and I’m so happy with this outcome, coming back and watching it all makes me so happy! 😊 I want to accomplish something like this one day! Thank you for your videos I look forward to them always.

[@terizumbusch8408]

You did an absolutely beautiful job. Watch do the whole way through and you manage to keep your life intact.Then get hurt too bad and it is beautiful. Well done❤

OMG, I just love it all. Wow, it's perfect. Alls i need is a property, and i, too, can build all this n still have my camper. You're so lucky. You did well for yourself. Great job. Just goes to show anyone can do anything they out their heart to. That's my dream kitchen. N i love apoxy. It's the best for the wood. Save those pieces for a curring board or the round ones for cheese and finger foods display board. ❤❤❤

[@montybuzz9882]

Has been an amzing journey to witness. Full of admiration for what you have achieved... and you have a great mate in Dustin, all that work and when it is near completion, he has to go catch his plane.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup he's the best

[@PierreDuranleau-wx7fq]

Stellar project! It looks fantastic with such a magnificent view. Wonderful design and execution. Kudos!

Absolutely beautiful. Job well done❣️❣️

[@travistravis8954]

Very impressive. Your a jack of all trades!

[@jlahyee]

I've been watching your channel for a few years now and I have never been disappointed yet. From the idea to the execution of the build was an amazing journey. Beautiful home!! Awesome buddies!! The attempt to go to the Artic Ocean was a cool distraction. Your travel adventures caught my attention in the beginning but sharing all of your "doing" keeps me. Cried when your parakeet passed. I can understand why you choose not to get a dog. Congrats on a job well done!!! Enjoy the rest of your adventures! Be right there with ya. Blessings and travelling mercies be yours.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you!

[@steadybreeze1443]

Found your channel and enjoyed the drive to pass dead horse .. amazing work! If remember you had mentioned back and neck injuries.. and still able to lift all that .. Congratulations from Canada 🇨🇦

[@edschupbach7585]

Been watching your vids for a while, and kinda forgot how much work it took. Honestly looks amazing and crazy how far you’ve come. Congrats Timmy
