Off Grid Cabin Build | Upper A Frames & Subfloor

[@northtoalaska2022]

Hi Everyone! We are aware that there is a very slight sound to video delay. We believe it was caused during export from the hard drive we were using to edit over 20+ hours of video footage. We have attempted to upload this video to KZbin 4 different times, each with a different sound misalignment result. Each upload has taken approximately 15 hours over satellite internet. We have a new hard drive on the way and hope that remedies the issue. We appreciate your patience!

[@KarTseng]

Missed you guys and missed seeing you all.

[@cathyjones3403]

I don’t mind waiting as long as I can see this build. You are both amazing

[@lynn2574]

I didn’t notice any issues. Thanks for such a great video! Loved the moose footage, too.

[@nolancunningham7484]

Didn’t notice any issues. Great job and good teamwork as well.

[@marcdebow4055]

You two are extremely courageous to build an A frame of this size with just the two of you and no crane!!

[@RobertBaden-lv3cx]

I have been watching all your videos! I’m a Carpenter/construction worker . That A frame build you are doing is the smartest way to do that I have ever seen! Awesome!

[@spiNETHMANI]

Finally here you are....I'm 20 years old girl in sri lanka and I discovered your channel while looking for relaxing videos . I cuz I'm getting ready for university entrance exam and these days are so stressful and I restricted my self from using social medias and watching YT too ....but your videos made me feel so refresh and relax.....I love all the nice scenarios and snow.....I love all your hard working and even the way you talk is so nice ......thank you for uploading.....and You guys motivated me to visit alaska one day.....

[@Just_Call_Me_Tim]

Good luck on your entrance exam, and if you’ve already finished it, I hope things went well for you! I work in transportation in the US, but grew up out in the wilderness (not too dissimilar to this). I love watching this couple’s videos.

Welcome back. Glad you were able to take time with family. Excited to see the progress. Don’t sweat the audio. It’s all good.

You both have worked hard to get to that point. Congrats!

[@dfoltz268]

I didnt even notice the sound issue till i read about it in your comment. House is looking great! It made me laugh when the moose decided that the goats were too scary and moved off yet you 2 and all your power tools did not LOL. Thanks for sharing as I really have enjoyed your channel after finding it last year!

[@larrylegg8245]

Good job, you two. She's looking good. She's standing tall.

[@rogue5369]

But what a view you two are going to have when you're done! Really amazing, with all the wildlife and goats keeping you busy!

[@alexv259]

The nice thing you will have etched in your memories is as years come and go and you'll have children, you two have so much memories from every inch of this house you put together. And that is so priceless, because as I'm watching you two trying to put the first piece of the second part of the A frame I'm telling myself "are they crazy to do such a risky work".

[@gailh9749]

I just love a guy who can invent a tool to make a job easier. You’re both amazing!

[@donaldgarrison4313]

Why a A FRAME BUILD ??

[@keithkenny4576]

@@donaldgarrison4313 I believe it helps with the snow amount they get in Alaska and keep most of the snow off the roof due to the pitch

Excellent editing! Chris, I admire your carpentry skills. You work very well together. Stay safe and keep publishing !

[@chrisfindlay5963]

Amazing work, the A-Frame is looking huge. I can see why you feel nervous about being so high with all the open space, you work really well together and actually make the build look much easier than it is. Excellent videos, I always look forward to the "next one."

[@observer7418]

I like the combination of doing stuff and talking about it mixed with shots of the stillness of the surroundings without all that fluff people tend to put in videos. It reads like a documentary and not an Instagram feed or Tic-Tok, which is way better. Your dog seems awesome too.

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Incredible work, guys. Thank you for sharing. Chris I am very impressed not only with your skills set, but also with the way you speak to and look after Katie. It is so important a man not let his woman overextend her physical capabilities even if she insists she can handle it, which I see way too often here on utube. Respect, for that. And Katie your job site demeanor and skills are equally admirable thank you for all your camera work, beautiful scenic shots and you nailed it with that curious moose- hurrah for the guard goats! Lol.

[@annduffy1356]

Wow, homemade trusses, impressive! That was a magnificent moose! Thanks for sharing those shots of him!

[@cuocsonglangnoigogang]

Your off-grid cabin build is truly inspiring! Watching the process of crafting those upper A-frames and laying the subfloor showcases your dedication and skill. It’s incredible to see such a detailed and thoughtful approach to creating a cozy, self-sufficient retreat. Your project not only demonstrates craftsmanship but also a deep commitment to living sustainably and innovatively. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Great job guys. It will be amazing, the space you will have. Bull moose didn't have very big antlers but I imagine it could do a great deal of damage if you got too close. Please be careful. It's good you can work through your problems. Hope you have now got over the flu and you get your energy back soon. Take care and stay safe. ATB to you all (animals included) X

You two were really scaring me trying to get that top in without the upper subfloor. So I'm kinda glad you were as scared as I was and you put that subfloor in before finishing.

I was hoping like crazy your video would drop today. Just what I needed after an incredibly trying day at work. It’s gotta feel so good to know you’re building your own home with your own hands.

[@northtoalaska2022]

Hope you enjoyed the video! I know the feeling of those days I have worked for several places that were pretty hostile at times... About the home, It is great, there are a lot of small details that you can change or make better when doing it yourself vs contracted out. Also not too big of a deal to make changes and improvements on the fly this way. It's a learning experience and challenging but can't wait to see the finished results one day.

[@gregorymatthies5297]

Have stumbled upon you site and I must commend both of you for your efforts. Have visited Alaska recently from Australia and was really taken by the whole country. Best of luck with the rest of the build and stay safe guys. Regards from Australian.

Man, I’m full-sail invested at this point! I hope that within a few years I can be building my own place (got the land and the help, just need to figure out what I want to build and get the stuff for it). For now, though, I’ll have to settle for living vicariously through you two!

[@greganderson8374]

I found y'all's channel by watching your spring water video. I have watched every video y'all have posted and I am very impressed in how you have developed your off grid homesite. I have seen numerous cabin builds, and 98% of them are doomed to fail, but seeing your construction techniques and attention to the structural details that matter (I am an engineer, so I am very critical) I have to say, your cabin's foundation, the prep work, the joists, flooring and framing is top notch, especially being built by just you 2 and once finished will last for generations. Your channel is only the 2nd off grid homesite channel that I feel is good enough to subscribe to, and I look forward to watching y'all on your journey. FYI: I did live up there in the 70's when I was in the Coast Guard (Kodiak Island), so I understand how tough it is. And the "y'all" is because I am a Texan.
