Alaskan Solo Cabin Build Part 1

[@diannaharrison5931]

Saw you with Brooke. So I will be following. God be with you.

[@kyrieeleison7328]

Found you via Girl In The Woods/Brooke! You are such an inspiration!!!

[@AdrianSayer]

I'm a carpenter in the Yukon and I wear a straw hat, the days are so long with the sun on the whole body. As I know you have experienced. Glad I found you, I also live in a cabin by a lake, with an outhouse ❤ great simple life.

[@monicamestas7566]

You have some building experience; right? Hat's off to you, My Dear. I'm impressed with your fortitude and determination.

[@marycranshaw9715]

I think most women are with you in spirit. You have taken on a giant task, but you are rocking this. Take care, stay safe and please have protection handy.

[@davidwhite1864]

Came across your channel by accident. Im a big old hard hearted retired cop. Not much moves me. But your story. Wow I had to wipe away the tears. Stay strong girl and never forget your doing what Ryan would have wanted you to do😊

[@petet4159]

Congrats. One suggestion is to add blocking in between the joist in the middle of the span. This will stiffen the floor and take the bouncing out

[@forestranger312]

Top tip, cut all your blocks first then lay them as you place the joists out, it keeps your spaces perfect and saves all the time trying to match blocks to spaces and hammering them home. Great work but really tough on your own, been there myself.

[@carlabass7413]

Girl, I had to come back on here again and tell you how very proud I am of you. I can’t believe what you’re doing and I know Ryan is smiling down on you for some reason you start having problems and you need help. Don’t hesitate to call the Rainies. They also live in upper Alaska and help people who need help with homesteading. You probably seen there if not look up on KZbin.

[@davidthies6323]

I admire your skills and your determination. Most people would not be able to continue after such a personal loss. I wish you well.

[@BulletproofPastor]

Construction is inch by inch, takes longer than you planned, is harder than you thought, but worth every ounce of your effort. You're doing such a good job!

[@denniscarreno5882]

Job well done…..Girl Power…..hurrah ! Greetings from down under Australia….stay safe n warm!

[@blklbluvr]

I don’t know if you have a firearm, and frankly it’s none of my business. But with bears roaming around and just you and your pup it’s good to have. You’re doing a great job and don’t fret if it takes you a few days longer than you first thought.

[@fouracrefamily9801]

She's armed and no doubt knows how to use it.

[@stelliform]

Actually bear spray is more effective in protecting yourself from a bear when compared to a gun.

[@yardfowl3149]

@@stelliform this comment is underrated.

[@craigwitte2943]

@@stelliform While back packing in the Canadian rockies I came on a camp site with a mostly eaten human torso. 2 empty cans of bear spray. No firearm! I will take the firearm every time!!!

[@MontanaGrizzsky]

@@stelliformnope..been around lots of grizzlies…spray is a joke, guns man, guns

[@carlabass7413]

I found your video with Ryan two days ago. I’m so sorry for your loss, but you are a very brave woman. I am going back to the beginning to watch all your videos. So proud of you.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@terrinelson2677]

I admire your strength and determination!! You’re rockin it!!😁👍

[@johninalaska9563]

First, "CONGRATULATIONS" on 3.36K subscribers, you're channel really took off. You're doing a great job on everything so far. I think you have earned the title Alaskan woman now. Keep up the great work.

[@jamesteasley5493]

After all you have been through you are inspiring you truly are a warrior keep striving

[@DR-mg9ge]

Sometimes KZbin works in weird and mysterious ways!!! I came upon one of your videos by chance and watched it (it was a summary of your journey) and then this one hit my feed....you are absolutely awe inspiring. I will be following your journey from now on. Keep on moving forward!!!

[@zonaholsters802]

You are making the dream come true. Be proud of yourself. I know a lot of us are proud to see you make it happen.

[@gfroese4799]

Doing a tough job is not easy . I must admit though I did cringe when you didn't stagger the flooring. Just remember , strength is what is in your heart, and you seem to be strong.

[@darrenwerner1829]

Just a quick reminder. You can't rush perfection. You can't out run a bear without shoes. If you're alone in the bush you need a firearm because some bears and moose are just plane hateful and mean. Please stay safe and good luck with your home i will pray for your heart to heal and for you staying safe on this journey.

[@dougpeak7591]

You should never run from a bear it will just chase you by enstinct

[@timothyalanogrady]

Hello 👋 and good morning great job on getting the box built and a framed up . Your doing amazing job on getting your inner structure in place on your property. I've been in the builders trade all my life grew up in it all my live . And to be honest with you most men and young men today cannot do what you're doing. Be very proud of yourself you rock girl 💪.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Outstanding job!

[@tonirad9577]

Yes with you in spirit . I really liked that comment . I love that you are still young and seriously pursuing a dream because time is SO short . ❤

[@dougpeak7591]

When cutting with the dewalt miter saw you should let the motor get up to full speed before pushing blade into the lumber it will lengthen the use of saw and blade

[@wayupnort6271]

You’re doing great Lady! Keep on keepin on! One day, one step, one small victory at a time! Hello from Northern Minnesota!

This is so cool seeing you build your dream with your won two hands, when I came back from Iraq in 2006, I helped my uncle build a house on one of the hills on his farm it was a lot of fun and rewarding

Best to drill a well down deep because the deeper it is the Cleaner it gets for filtration

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

unless of course its rainwater off a roof or some such

[@yardfowl3149]

Just found your channel. Excited to see what you do. ❤

[@andylittlebritain7680]

Hey, new sub here. Discovered your channel today and have been catching up on all of your videos from here in the UK. So sorry for your loss and the way things have turned out for you. Massive respect for just getting on with it.

[@pjk1714]

You have done so well 🎇🎆 Consider setting game camera's and looking for fresh dumps. You can consider building the walls directly on the floor before placing. Would be great if you had a bit of help raising. Glad your dreams are coming true.🦋🌻

[@stelliform]

I see your dog was being a good helper loading up that skid. 😂

[@OldSchoolAlaska]

Good progress! Thanks for the update.

[@conniecornsilk2955]

What a great job! well done keep it up. I want to build my own house too!! Debt free

[@Woodyaktx]

You should drive a sand point well down. It will give you clear water after about a days worth of pumping. Drive it down 25 feet if you can.

[@ibislife]

You are a clever woman! I had others to build my house in 2018-19. Solo woman too, on 60 degrees north.

Great job! Already looking forward to your next update!

[@WindwalkerHomestead]

You definitely should be proud of yourself. Doing this kind of work is definitely more difficult by yourself, but you're getting it done 💪😎

[@anneskic]

Found you via Brook. I am so glad I found you! Now you and Cabin River Outdoors, you two should meet, along with Girl in the Woods, Bushradical and Betting on Alaska are my favourite shows! Lots to learn and be inspired by. Amazing what you've been able to accomplish so far. About a woodstove.. have you thought about building a rocket stove? Might not work if you are insuring your home, but built right you can heat your home more efficiently, longer and with much less firewood.

[@peterheyneniii8444]

Very impressed my friend. Full steam ahead❣️

[@johnsonr9]

Congratulations! Awesome dog too.

[@approots]

Getting it done! So impressed to see such progress made with great enthusiasm. If your posts aren't deep, consider some diagonal bracing. Having built a few houses, I noticed some of the comments here are idealist or hindsight, but a keep it simple, fast, efficient, buget build is fantastic.

[@happyinfidel1]

are you getting professional help on the supports, the whole structure moves when you hit those blocks.. but it looks great, Good work, I would put sono tubes in . 4x4 look too flimsy.. good luck tho..

[@KarenWahlenberg-pv7xz]

SISTER YOU NEED PROTECTION.. and you inspire me .❤❤❤ thank you. I'm not young but so what!!!

[@AlmostaGreenAcre-zs5eu]

Great job, well done 🥰 Yes, everything always takes longer than we think it should in our mind, lol.

[@Gerry2210]

You are doing great, keep it up. 👍

[@WildNorthRiverCabin]

I’m been building my log cabin for two years you are doing a great job , for the screws there are not great. They all would break after a while when I built my balcony last November I took out some screws from the patio and they were all broken.

[@dennisnagel4422]

Your doing well. Stay safe and may God Bless.

[@AlexejSvirid]

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why life is getting hard.

Sorry that I laughed... You are doing SO WELL and then 8:54 happens... Take solace in the fact that I had a mouth full of tea at the time... Well, at least my nasal cavities got washed out good. But seriously, you are forging ahead at an almost unbelievable pace.

[@wildprapor]

Привет. Валькирия, однозначно! Респект и уважение, успехов в этом нелегком начинании!

[@ambkbero2]

We all face hardships and I applaud you for your tenacity and grit. Raising walls alone can be very challenging and potentially dangerous, I would ask for help. Your neighbors have probably done similar projects and may have some helpful tip to avoid setbacks. I'll keep watching and supporting your journey. 💪🏻💪🏻
