Off Grid Cabin Build | Metal Roofing & Doors

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Nice seeing the roof done. I have to say that the quality of workmanship is first class. Take Care.

[@davidthies6323]

Once again, we are amazed by your skillful, hard work. You have accomplished so much in what appears to be such a short time. I'm sure that the time doesn't seem short to you. Thank you for all of the explanations of what you are doing. Also, thanks for the long videos. You now have an enclosed home. Congratulations! ❤

[@northtoalaska2022]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It certainly does feel like it takes much longer than it appears, especially battling against the weather. We are happy that it's dried in. 🙂

[@Nello353]

You two are amazing,you work tirelessly and the quality of your work is second to none. You find things to do regardless of the weather. One day you will find yourselves finished and not be able to handle the idle time. Take up fishing and expanding the garden. , What ever you decide to do I know it will be done to perfection. Stay well.

[@runninfree0727]

Let's hope the next few jobs have you on the ground, I kept holding my breath watching you on that ladder, I'm exhausted and I didn't even get off the couch. Joking aside Great Job both of you.

[@karend8575]

OMGosh me too! Lol!

[@jeffreyl.parrish9022]

You two work great together, and it's all been hard work, especially for just two people. I admire your hard work and adventurous life.

[@naborone]

Simply, in this day and age, unbelievable, but there it is. One Man and his Helper.

[@kendraelliott6761]

Amazing!! The workmanship is outstanding. Appreciate that last shot of all the screws perfectly aligned. lol!! You guys are quite a team. Congrats on getting the cabin dried in!

[@frankiesmom7703]

So glad you are done with that roof and ladder! You two are both amazing hard workers ! Enjoy your cabin for many years to come !

[@angel_I_s]

Exceptional work. Thought through so well from inception to completion. You are such an inspiration to see...

[@StevenEverett7]

Every time I saw him climbing that ladder my stomach would clench. I HATE heights!!! My congratulations for finally completing the roof.

[@JulieCrawford-l8r]

After watching you build and roof this cabin, I think you two could do anything you want! It is remarkable what you have done! It is beautiful!❤

[@floridamom5300]

Working smarter not harder. Respect!

[@-sstevens5444]

You all are rock stars. 😅 Had me holding my breath... icy, wet, windy conditions, hauling 30 ft. metal siding, working off a 40 ft. ladder. Whew. Well done, Grasshopper.

[@TallBob1962]

So refreshing to see a DIY-er doing it right and even better than "standard".

[@Codger2015]

Katie, I imagine you are so glad you have such a strong, well adjusted, smart and capable husband in Chris. Kudos to you both for such a wonderful series showing how well you work together. Chris I am very impressed by your work ethic and how that you apply such intelligence, common sense, and safety first to all aspects of your build.

[@jeffreygilchrist1330]

I’m delighted to see a young couple working together on building their home and property together,it’s extremely hard work but rewarding that’s the way it’s always been done and the next generation should take good hard look at how to do this and subscribe ❤

[@patframe6135]

Milwaukee ought to be sponsoring you !! Great Job !

[@kennethalmond8922]

I'm just in AWE of you guys - the height of that roof alone makes my stomach lurch, like watching roller coaster vids and I'm safely in my chair. Such really nice work! Very inspirational. And I'm happy for you to see the roof on for winter / future and not so much ladder work now. Thanks for sharing :)

[@ShawnDriscoll-m5z]

Who ever does your editing is doing a great job!!!

[@johnmeeks9618]

Ever time I see you two working on the house or any other projects at the property, I am impressed with your skills and construction knowledge. Who ever you worked for in Pennsylvania is probably crying right now because he realizes the skills he has lost!

[@bartbritz8078]

I am sure no one is more pleased with the roof done than both of you. Hats of to you both. Blessings in Yahushas name.

[@chrisfindlay5963]

Your video's seem so short, they are so good to watch time just flies by. The unbelievably skilled work continues, you make such a good team, really looking forward to the next episode.

[@diannareynolds914]

I just have to say you guys are really detailed oriented when I comes to your processes. Having a plan is important when taking on tasks. You are very good communicators as a couple. Your channel is one that I am always excited for the next video. Happy Thanksgiving! Stay well stay safe ❤️❤️

[@KathyPetersonRealtor]

What an amazing couple !!!! Kudos !!! Chris, you’re a fearless beast ☺️☺️

[@chuckhorner3758]

This couple would be welcome to come drink my beer and eat my BBQ any time!

[@chuckhorner3758]

You stated it so eloquently...Chris is a fearless beast!

[@karenolson5556]

You both are AMAZING!!! I couldn't be more Proud of you. You do Amazing work building you home!!! God Bless you Both!!!

[@wernerstruebing116]

What a great task you have accomplished, especially working on a ladder at those heights, congratulations.

Absolute construction genius managing those long pieces of metal roofing. A masterful solution executed masterfully! Always amazed at your collective mastery of every challenge!

[@larryburkett9628]

I can finally take a deep breath, steep roofs were never my favorite things to work on. What an excellent job you two have done so far. Keep up the good work.😁😁👍👍👍👍

[@rolandvasquezguzman9083]

Sir, i have to say you are a real Craftsman. The first time i saw someone using a punch to mark the holes where the should be drilled was in todays episode. Stay warm and safe. Greetings from northern Sweden.

[@gerileewhite3590]

Wow! I have been watching you from the beginning. So impressed! You guys have done such a fantastic job. Glad you were able to get the roof done and be off the ladder! I can hardly wait to see what is next! Favorite couple!

[@gretchenthom4976]

I think you've climbed the equivalent of Everest. 🤭😊

[@justindubois2672]

The roof looks awesome! You should both be proud of all your hard work.

[@northtoalaska2022]

Thank you!

[@PVK52]

Congrats on making it to 70k subscribers! And hope many many more. Your attention to detail, explanations, showing with video exactly what was done, etc etc etc, is first-class and enjoyable. Great job!

[@Windys21]

You both have worked very hard building this home. Chris is a brave and determined guy going up and down that tall ladder. I bet he needs to soak his feet in hot salt water to relieve his sore feet being stood up there all day. You are doing great xx

[@chrisdaniel1339]

The attention to detail is impressive, pre drilling all the holes, properly putting fasteners in the valley, and taking steps to not cut the house wrap...great job . Nice work upgrading the fasteners to last as long as the roof. Damn that is a steep roof!

[@paulperratt3748]

You guys really are doing a superb job of this. Watching you work together as a close knit team is really inspiring and the ingenuity shown to get the job done with just the two if you is truly brilliant. I'd hate to think how many times Chris must have been up and down that ladder in the last few months though. Keep on grafting, loveing the content your producing.

[@QuietCottage]

Once again, I am amazed at your determination to work together to complete this roof. This project is huge. Overwhelming to me! My hat is off to you both!!!

[@meethed]

This is the best way I've seen anyone building their own home, move the metal roofing!! Great ingenuity.

[@denisfrancine3221]

The black metal roof looks super nice! Nice to see you back on solid ground! Very wise to put in a back door!

[@johnpyle8027]

This has been an amazing journey to say the least! I worked in the masonry business and spent a lot of time working from scaffolding which is ironic because I am not a fan of heights! I don't know how a lift would have helped you, even a telehandler with a manlift would only get you to the roof. Then you would have had to tether a 30' piece of sheet metal up there. I think the way you guys did it was the only way and that took more than motivation and drive! Hats off!

[@muskegonhunterscamp]

Looking through the comments, it only reinforces what I see in your videos: You two work great together & Chris, your work and work quality at height is truly impressive.

[@paulandlaurahausman379]

Well done! Where there is a will there is a way. You sound so confident Chris explaining what you are going to do. Then when I see it being done I hold my breath and say no way. One more step done and no more 30 ft. ladders.

[@blklbluvr]

Looking great! I have to say I’m in awe of your progress and how well you plan everything and are so prepared

[@moniquevelasco20]

Excellent job guys. That looked really hard. The house looks amazing. Love and be safe!😘🌻VE

[@grandal-aj9014]

[@taj-ma-haul9094]

Attention to details... Impeccable!

[@Jennifer62389]

Beautiful roof done, huge job. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@onamissionfortruth6326]

Awesomeeeeeeeee! Such a relief for you that's all completed. You did such a nice job - and no shoveling snow off the roof will save you so much work long term. Brilliant. Love the door clip at the end - cute wrap to another great video.

[@judyporche9125]

Very gratifying to see this home being built. A little hands over the eyes at times but I respect that you both have your head on straight and are very intelligent.

[@mikeVT8245]

Happy Thanksgiving! My wife and I moved to another state before our kids were born and we know how weird it can be by yourselves on a holiday like this. Hope you are warm, stuffed, and enjoying some downtime. Happy homebuilding from Vermont!

[@cathyjones3403]

I’m so impressed with your skill set. Fantastic video as always. Thanks 👏👏👏👏👏

[@peter-hr1gl]

As others have said, watching you up that high on that ladder with the bend in it and heavy clothing and stretching/reaching...OMG I was cringing so often. Glad you got it done and that is one fine roof. It makes me smile when I see you being meticulous in your building approach and have watched other channels where people are looking at buying existing homes in AK and when they look at them they are all thrown together (with whatever was lying around) shoddy messes. I guess hardly anybody there has any income to put up decent homes with the right materials. Either that or they just don't care. Glad you are doing it right. Makes my OCD brain relax. I've even seen people on channels put in doors (and windows) in warmer, wetter climates and not put as much thought and weather proofing in as you have with your doors. I agree with your do it once, long term approach. Spend more time and effort now (and money on good materials) vs spending it again (and again) later.

[@2807204]

Congratulations on getting the roof done. just in the knick of time for winter.

[@kurtwookie7585]

Nothing stops you guys! Great job!

[@npete55]

Yes, we are all so thankful to breathe again now that roof is complete! Looks awesome, and you make a good team!

[@dcranch4820]

Very impressive roof! Great job of making everything look professional! Its got to be a great feeling for you two getting this done!

It seems to me that I'm also a part of this amazing project. I eagerly waited for each week to see the progress. Thanks for uploading. Love from North Eastern part of India.

[@rickgreen9936]

Beyond impressive!!! Great work you two!! 33:16 LOL your legs and feet will never be the same. Congrats on getting it done...both of you!! Good looking doors too.

[@357coonan]

You must be so pleased/relieved to have it dried in... Kudos

[@pinkywilliams8063]

I didn't hold my breath as much, guess I'm getting use to seeing Chris doing dangerous heights. Thanks for sharing Katie & Chris. Your home is looking real good & have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Chris_in_fremantle]

So satisfying to watch your progress.

[@JoanHarrex]

My favorite channel. You are both such a hardworking couple. Good luck 👍

[@kathyalexander6994]

That is one tall and steep roof to put roofing on. Very tricky without snow around. So glad you are finished.

[@Cuz789]

Your planning, ingenuity and problem solving and tenacity in the quality of your work is very refreshing. I like watching you two and A Boulder Life Office Grid. Also I like that you guys haven't done any sponsored videos so when the day comes I know it will be for something you actually believe and aren't trying to hock anything mediocre.

[@debo4706]

You two are building the most solid house in Alaska. Great job.

[@evabloecher]

Congratulations, it is amazing to see you working on your fantastic house😊

[@caroljohnson8817]

Ingenious installation method on those 30 ft ers. You two are a great and hardy team. Hope your Turkey day was all you wanted it to be. That is a beautiful roof!

[@waltmoore3095]

Excellent editing, great idea rolling the sheets into a tube. Thanks for sharing this, looks awesome!

[@jamesscroggins3486]

Loving the home build. You definitely will not have to worry about any snow load on the roof. 😎

[@northtoalaska2022]

Thank you! We are glad we won't be having to clean off the roof!

[@KATALINAHAZ1]

Just great amazing work!!! So happy for you both you got your roof safely done. And your doors in!!!😊🙏🏻

[@skigeek]

Absolutely amazed watching you two install that roof. Amazing talent especially given you two were doing it all by yourselves.

[@088929k]

Great job you guys, not easy I am sure, when you see that ladder flexing like that it shows how hard a job it was, keep up the great work.

[@Billestlà]

What an amazing job you did to get that metal on. It's beautiful. Well done and congratulations!!

[@larrywhite6895]

WOW~!! My legs still hurt from watching the ups an dns!! I used same screws on my roof``they are the best!!! PS found 1 screw in the box that the head (cover) had come loose from the from the hex !! Carry On, a job dn RT!!!

[@debbielicis6257]

You two are amazing. I am starting to look forward to watching your videos as much as Simple Life videos (which I freaking love). Your work ethic & stamina are a joy to watch. It’s going so quick I feel like you will be moving in soon..lol. I love your house already and are very envious of what you are building together. PS. Just wanted to add that I can not wait to see what you two do on the inside. This is going to be epic.

[@darcybroszeit9801]

You are a true craftsman Chris, nice work. I keep watching for new videos cause they are fun to watch and educational!

[@Z-Bart]

Fantastic! I thought the metal would have to wait until next Spring.

[@joeharwellauthor9317]

Spectacular job on the metal roof.

[@stevetrenhaile4910]

You are so much braver than me...your roof looks great. Love your videos

I can only imagine how good it feels to have that done! Congrats and amazing effort!

[@kjsliverstreet]

It's so great to see you 2 working together. You're doing great, and it's looking awesome. Videos have come a long way. You 2 are starting to get more comfortable in front of the camera. This the Simple Living Alaska and Ambition Strike channels are the only 3 channels I really enjoy watching and get excited when new videos drop. Thank you for the work you do 🙏
