Log Cabin DIY Countertop Backsplash / Moving In / Our First Week

Welcome to our family. Joas, Priscilla and our five children. We moved to Alaska from Montana in June 2022 and built our own log cabin in the Alaskan woods.
In this episode, we spend our first week in our new home, installing the backsplash and finishing details. We hope you enjoy our family and channel. Many blessings to you and thank you for watching!

What a wonderful video. I feel like I am a part of your family. I only wish that all families were like yours and what a wonderful world this would be. Each of you shows such love and respect for one another. I am so inspired when I watch your videos. I was one of ten children and we are up in age now but still get together as often as we can. The six of us who are still here. Thank you so much.

[@steveddavis]

The backsplash is a perfect complement to your outstanding countertop! You are a fortunate man Joas, to have a decor expert with an amazing sense of just the right style - not too spartan and not over the top. Great teamwork on getting the backsplash up, well done 👊 What a great Easter morning service, He is alive indeed!

My mom was born in Alaska and her parents were homesteaders at that time. My mom lost her Dad at age 7 to a logging accident and her mom moved five children all the way out to New Mexico. I love your family. Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful example to the world you are. May Gods blessings be forever with you 🥰

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Yes, HE IS ALIVE! Dear hearts, the back splash looks beautiful, wow! I love it. Priscilla, I love seeing you in that kitchen preparing meals for your family. The girls really enjoy helping mom prepare the delicious food. And the boys, what a blessing as well. I live in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Today is April 14th. Two days ago we were hit with heavy rain and there was a lot of flooding, my house was one of them. But, praise God, my son and I are fine. God is great. HE watched over us. We always have to keep the faith in every circumstance. Because at the end, HE wiil reward us. Take care, my sweets.

PERFECT in every way! Beautiful kitchen and bathroom backsplashes. All those yummy meals from your Montana- preserved food. Chaga (gold) for more tea. The “natives” eating logging-leftovers. Fun times and camaraderie at Thunder Bird Falls. The Easter morning service-yes, Jesus is alive! Hallelujah! Another wonderful video from our favorite family. Thank you Joas, Priscilla, Ethan Justin, Avalon, Wyatt and Chloe. God bless and protect you. ❤️🙏

I recognized the song you were humming in the kitchen “Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning, give me oil in my lamp I pray, keep me burning to the break of day. Sing Hosanna etc. That is a song we would sing when the kids were little. Also the song y’all sang during church was a song we have been singing for years in church. ❤

[@jimwaddle4890]

I am really enjoying the videos of your home build. I love your wholesome lifestyle and that you involve the kids in every aspect. The one thing I find the most interesting is that you have created a KZbin channel but don't have a TV. So many things I am learning about building a log home, I am a 40 year retired cabinetmaker and can't wait to build my retirement home. Great job

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you Jim and blessings!

Hi Montana haven friends thank you for sharing a wonderful video of your house. The backsplash looks beautiful. It must feel good to be in your own house now. That was pretty cool seeing the moose come up on to the porch love and blessings Larry June and laurie

Thank you so much 🤗

[@thegoodfight426]

I just love your family! I'm raising mine Christian as well, but neither I nor my husband were raised Christian, so we are all learning as we go together. I just love to see families who have been rooted in Christ for generations. So beautiful! We live in a very unchurched part of the country, so there aren't many mentors in the faith here. I am so longing for close family bonds. I am so grateful to have my husband and children, but we are kind of detached (not completely) from our extended families and restarting our family in Christ. Finding a church that has intimate connections with God and one another is a rare find. It's so beautiful when you see it displayed. It's also wonderful to see all the skills that you all have to pass down to your children. We are passing down what we have, although at times I don't feel like it's much, but when we give all thanks and glory to God, He can multiply what we have, Amen?!!! I look forward to being with all my heavenly family one day! What a day that will be!!! 🥰

[@norablair7077]

Your story has touched my heart. The Lord has never promised that our life will be easy as we choose to follow Him, has he? But Ge has said that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is with us every step of our journey and blesses our efforts. You are the start of the Christian family you long for - how exciting is that? And what a beautiful example the Miller family show us of a Christ-centred family. It’s in the home that we learn the most!

[@MontanaHaven]

God will show you the way. Blessings!!!❤️🤗

[@thegoodfight426]

@@MontanaHaven Yes He has! I've been walking with Him now for 23 years! He is so faithful! He leads us into all truth! 🥰

[@cjt8915]

That bird looks like a Spruce Grouse according to my birder husband. We love your family adventures and DIY builds!

[@SusannaRoth]

Sounds right to me.

[@swissmiss857]

The tile looks great. That and the color of the grout are a perfect compliment to the countertops. It just came together so nicely. Your boys just look so eager to jump in there and help. Makes me smile. The meals look delicious as always. Avalon someday will be managing her own kitchen. She is blessed to be learning from her mother. All your children are very fortunate to receive the gifts and talents that have been passed down to them. Nothing seems wasted. ❤ Did I tell you how much I love seeing the moose? 😊

Your kitchen has turned out beautiful, and actually your whole cabin is now a beautiful home! Wow! What a pile of chaga you harvested! We live in lower BC, and actually order chaga from people in northern Alberta, and yes it's expensive. We drink it almost every day for all the health benefits. How nice to just go out and be able to harvest it for your family!
