Good stuff brother. Watching and drinking coffee down here in south louisiana and wishing I was up there.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Glad you like the videos, I will be uploading the final video of us stacking the timbers later this week.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle good deal. You should charge folks a cheap rate to bring their canning stuff read to cook in that big pressure cooker of yours. That's a week's worth or more of work for alot of folks in regular canners.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@jimmieburleigh9549 I’ve that about that, I have a lot of people that want to borrow/rent it I’m not comfortable letting it leave my yard because of the liability, also it’s extremely heavy

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle no you let them bring there stuff for you to do and them help or not and you and or your boys can make a little extra but fair side hustle money..

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle no offense of course that just me thinking lol.

What did you use for insulation? It looked like a 4” roll of mineral rock or wool?

[@bass1520]

This is amazing! I just found this channel, so I am catching up. What part of Alaska are you based out of?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Interior Alaska

[@lutomson3496]

Pick up a kinetic tow rope you would have moved that sawmill easily with just one rig and also works for towing stuff out of ditches!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yeah that definitely would have helped I wasn’t expecting it to be that hard, I pulled it up there no prob in the winter with my super wide track

[@Z-Bart]

I have noticed with my mill, a Woodland Mills HM130, if my blade starts to dull I will get a rising cut through the cant. Put on a sharp blade and it starts cutting flat again.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yeah mine will start walking when it gets dull, I’ll prob bring it home this winter and try and tighten a couple things up on it and try and balance my shivs to help with the shaking. I built this thing 6or7 yrs ago it needs some attention.

[@samsylvain5429]

Are you a construction contracted by day?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

No, I work in the oil industry.

[@byronbasso9922]

Do you know where I can get plans to build that dovetail jig for building a small log cabin

Frost will heave...perma- frost is also a possibility.... special deep footings may be needed for heavy machines....
