RACING The RAIN! (Will We Get This Done?) Off Grid, Alaska

[@richhoward596]

The fact that your family is so close and is able to built not only structures but also memories makes this journey so special.

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Thank you so much Rich. I appreciate your encouraging words. They mean so much to us

[@PaullaWells]

Congratulations to the young couple! A word of advice from an old married lady, let go all grudges the moment you feel them come on. While easier said than done in time and with practice it will make for a happy life together. I can't wait to see the setup for the wedding!

[@kenmonroe2474]

I could never get any work done with a view like that!! :)

[@ivetteguzman5730]

Wow loved the rainbow 🌈 it was beautiful and you guys are so blessed we could see you did and awesome job as parents God bless your family

[@carolefried412]

What a beautiful end to a hard day's work, complete with full rainbow! Such a nice way to be introduced to more members of your family, Dillion and his lovely new bride, Mia. What's better than super cute dogs, super delicious hotdogs, a lovely dinner prepared with ordinary salt 😂 and SUPER HOT coals to wind down the day with a sauna. Your family is so beautiful; you are blessed! ❤❤❤❤🐩

[@jennihudson9484]

Good to see another of the family and it’s great to see they are planning their wedding in the new build, that will put the pressure on for everything to be finished soon.

[@kathleencasey2944]

Enjoyed watching how well you work with your son!

[@timofeyserikof8397]

It is a delightful feeling to sit in a sauna, waves of steam roll over you, you whip yourself with a juniper broom, and outside the windows there is the sound of rain, or the rustle of snow! And then, you run out of the sauna, so steamed, warmed up and rush into the lake, or into a previously prepared hole in the ice of the lake, plunge into the water and suddenly realize that life is beautiful and amazing, and that you are still young and full of energy , although in your passport you are far over 60 years old ... And then sitting at the table, over a cup of fragrant, hot tea, you tell all sorts of amazing, adventurous stories from your life and from the life of your friends .. Wonderful!!!

[@ionecuff6323]

The view from on top of the roof was spectacular and BEAUTIFUL! It's too bad you don't have the lumber and time to add a 2nd story to take advantage of those views. I love seeing how your entire family works together and plays together. But come on, give Tanya a break! Naps are essential. LOL! Thank you for including the sound of the rain falling and hitting the porch and roof. It has been since last year that I have heard the sound of rain here. Thank you for always sharing your beautiful life, family, values, and blessed events. Congratulations to Dylan and his future bride, I know they will be extremely happy. (I'm looking forward to seeing you all with more grandbabies that we get to see!). God Bless you, your family, friends, and loved ones.

[@123456laurent]

working with your son on the roof was really amazing so fast and all fit like always so perfectly every time i'm speachless, and the family moment at the sauna was really cool, and what about this amazing view still every time in love with that, best regards from FRANCE dear frienD your video help me so much every time, fighting against sickness.

[@mmemumu4604]

Wow... what a nice couple...and Dylan is verry strong han???

[@CoyoteSticksbyWILEY]

Good Morning Gale, Tanya and Family - This video started off perfect, with Stella doing a belly flop in the puddle of water. Gorgeous rainbow when you got to the mountain cabin. I can see what you meant about racing the rain. The view from the mountain cabin out over the lake is just amazing. I can see why you like this place so much. As always, thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Hope you have a great week end. Stay Safe. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona (107 degrees and raining yesterday - The Arizona Sauna).

[@donamonroe4427]

Good evening Gale......That new roof is completed in record time. You have an excellent assistant in Dylan..........Stella, Stella, Stella.....I think she was wading in the water looking for her snow. And then she lays down in the water. I could not stop laughing at this week's Stella antics. I have a suggestion for a video....clips of nothing but Stella having fun and getting hugs.......I hope that beautiful rainbow appears again the day of the wedding....

[@praiseyethelord7121]

Such a beautiful picture of God's promise with the rainbow. Thank you for the lovely pictures of a state I will never get to visit but love its wildness and people's. ❤&🙏 🙋🇺🇸🕊

[@CathyHendrix1]

You guys got a lot done in a short time. Really love the views from the roof. And the rainbow! Wow! Nice to meet your son and future daughter in law. Looking forward to the wedding. It will be beautiful on the lake! Hope ya'll have a great weekend! God bless!

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

Stella has rediscovered a great play pond, 🐶.

[@Il-Siciliano]

Nice to see some shirt-sleeve weather for a change. And always so wonderful to see the family pitching in to help. GREAT job on that roof. Y'all stay safe & God Bless!

[@LoneMooseLodge2]

Another great video! It was great to see family help involved & looking forward to seeing how the building shapes up for a wedding. Congratulations in advance.

[@stevehaken]

You and your Son really work well together. You can tell that you have worked together. You are very blessed.

[@numbersvibrations]

Hi Tanya. Good to see you in this video. No pressure but I so look forward to your videos. Getting to know your family is a treat. The progress is amazing. The place looks completely different. Y’all make cabin living look like so much fun. The view is amazing. ❤️Till next video keep safe and blessings to everyone.

[@jewelcall9860]

That was an awesome video. From the hard work to the good food and then the rewarding relaxation...great job! I love seeing the family work together. Things are looking awesome. Alaska in all it's beauty in the summertime. Enjoy while it lasts...I know it's short! Thanks for sharing with us. God bless jewel from South Ga where the heat index has been up to 111 in the last two weeks....

[@scottsorby7966]

The speed you both put that roof together was impressive (Ok it was KZbin speed and edited, but still 👍) you are truly blessed with good family and beautiful country and that view from the sauna is stunning as always thanks for sharing and stay safe. Oh yeah and a wedding in August,,, so no pressure then 😁

[@teresakinney955]

Wow what a handsome couple (your son and his bride). What a life......the sauna after a hard days work, a rainbow and beautiful views of your Alaska! Thank you.

[@cttravels5244]

Tonjia, those dining chairs looked soooo comfortable as a day-bed. Can’t understand what that hasn’t caught on a lot more. Once again, the changed scenery is jaw-dropping week to week up there. Amazing how much difference just another couple of hands on deck can make to progress. Theres so much to think about with your material. The orderly way Gil sets out work and the methodology of tackling repetitive tasks is very instructive. The multiple uses for snow shovels. The importance of grabbing the long handled shovel before the newbies 🤣. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. We’re planning ours for the end of August too. I think a cabin restoration is a more straightforward task! Peace.

[@marinafoglietti9351]

All the family working for the wedding in August, fine!!!❤

[@terriefirmin3190]

Thanks! I accept that front row seat you're offering to this and future adventures. Love that with all of this we get a BONUS...A Wedding!! Thanks Dylan and Mai. I hope Stella is going to be the Flower Girl!! I, also think y'all will be great inlaws to have.

[@deeanderson5670]

Wow beautiful rainbow. Section of roof went up fast. I'm sure you're glad to have kids around. Stella is a true water diva.

[@stubby8663]

Nice to see you there Dylan & Mai, Congrats on the upcoming Wedding. Another Great video Gale, You guy's got a lot done there. Was glad to see you have the Help. Haha got a good laugh out of Stella playing in the water, she always brings a smile to my face. Nice work with the camera Tonya and that food you prepared looked delicious. Thanks for the video guy's, was looking forward to it.

[@richardliles4415]

What a wonderful way to spend an evening after a hard days work.👍

[@gaylangridge8180]

Good to see another family video. I love watching your videos and the dog looks like she was having a good time in the water. The food like very nice too. It is good to look great when it is finished. Look forward to the next video. All the best from England.

[@Roman-mo1wn]

Спасибо за отличные истории о вашей жизни на Аляске. Случайно в мае увидел ваш ролик на youtube, посмотрел и сразу подписался. Теперь я ваш фанат. Вы хороший плотник и на вашу работу приятно смотреть. У Вас отличная, дружная семья. I wish you good luck.

[@bettyloewen9390]

WOW!!! Beautiful full rainbow!!! ❤❤❤ Love your beautiful hide-away cabin and then a sauna yet?!!! ❤❤❤ Just WOW! ❤

[@laruedouglas1064]

It is so nice having your son and wife to be help. It will be a beautiful place to have their wedding. Love you both ❤️. What a beautiful rainbow 🌈.

[@Martin_HD28]

Father and son working as one like a finely tuned machine! Really enjoyed watching you and Dylan knocking out that roof. The rainbow and views were amazing. I wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes in that sauna though!

[@BethS55]

That sauna is nice. Such a beautiful family too! Your daughter in law is a beauty. So is your wife.

[@TheJimcrooks800]

You and Dylan really work well together. Speed roofing! Maybe he has helped in projects over the years but there is a silent choreography between you anticipating what needs to be done next and also the spatial awareness, especially when taking off the roofing sheets. Impressive again is all I can say. Mind you, there is a vested interest for him if the wedding is going ahead up there. Can you PM a location for that site - I would love to Google it if it has been mapped. I have been looking at the topography and other things of Alaska and it is fascinating. The sauna looked great and I don't know if it as much part of your culture as it is in Finland - where I was once at a business meeting and was invited to conduct the meeting in the sauna! It is certainly a good way of just being with family and conversing - my summer house in the garden functions like that and we use it after a hot tub session! And have a pipe occasionally.

[@chrissallee5485]

I try to watch alot of this channel. Gill is absolutely amazing. So much talent and skill. What an inspiration.

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Thank you Chris. Peace to you my friend

[@NM-zo6gi]

Wow! You & Dylan made light work of the roof. Amazing! The two of you were like a machine. It's good to see Tanya kind of take it easy this week. I hope Dylan & Mai have an amazing wedding & best wishes to them both for a long happy married life. Could Miss Stella get any cuter!

[@experiencealaska6819]

Perfect weather for a roof project. That tin will make a great stove backing, very rustic looking. I learn something from each video. Thank you

[@aleprimo2008]

Hello family!! It's good to see you again, I'm glad you were able to finish the roof before the rain fell, I'm sure the place will be beautiful for the wedding as long as there are extra hands to help and Tanya doesn't take too many siestas!!😁 As always, thank you for letting us get into your lives, I enjoyed it drinking mate and making pizza for the night! Hugs for all of you!! Alex from Argentina.

[@aleepiazza7125]

Great film of the changing weather. You have worked together before, making a hard job look easy, is the mark of great craftsmanship. Thanks for showing your family. Peace.

[@steveddavis]

Congratulations to Dylan and Mai! What a wonderful place to get married at too. Great to see how well Gale and Dylan work together. Also props to "I'll do whatever it takes to get the video" Tanya!!!

[@halinawiecek2297]

Hello Gale and Tanya and family nice to watching you guys every morning on Friday you doing such a good job and it's so beautiful to see mountain with little bit snow on, I can watch you everyday because I know you always showing something very interesting and the people can learn from you take care.

[@catgynt9148]

Gale, you and your son make a great construction team. Jim Crooks used the term “choreography” an it’s perfect for this video. Thanks for sharing this insightful video and another glimpse of your beautiful family. Wishing you and them another blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother

[@suewilkinsonmorrobayca6590]

Nice to meet Dylan and Mai. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

[@afishingmagician]

Fastest roof I have ever see put up, considering it included rafters as well. Beautiful shot of the rainbow.

[@ThisIsMyAlaska]

Good morning my friend. We have a dry building now! We will be starting on the inside this week

[@sngbird0077]

The stark contrast of the landscape between now and the peak of snow season is amazing!

[@feninahbatulayan9530]

Wow its nice to know that your daughter inlaw is a filipina. Proud filipina here. Love your blog less talking and more of actions! Great job and so nice to see you working together as family. And the previous blog with your grandson, wow his a nice and hardworking kiddo. Im happy he is not into cellphone or video games. How I wish all kids are like him!

[@Miguel_ON65]

What a luxury! A saune in the middle of the mountain! And what a great company. After work, the pleasure. Is there anything better? You must be proud of your live. Congratulations my friend! Peace for you and your people.

[@markholmes1346]

Wow, you got a lot done with Dylan helping you! Glad to see the family together for work, food and a nice Sauna in the evening! Priceless!! Just doesn’t get much better than that! God bless you all! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@ellemdee276]

Dylan & Mai didn't have to go to AK for Mai's first sauna experience, they could have stayed home in TX & walked out their front door to get the same effect (we're suffering under a very long very brutal heat wave & as I write this it's 96f where I am, but 101 up in Dallas!) But then, they wouldn't have had that stupendous view, of course! Fingers crossed you guys get everything finished in time for the wedding, it will be spectacular!

[@suzannepuckett2245]

Oh Stella! I never knew poodles were such water dogs! Love your videos!

[@robin6564]

Truly impressed by your son. He knew exactly what to do and always kept up. Obviously well taught with experience. The sauna touches my heart. I am Finnish and grew up with steam baths every Saturday. So miss that lifestyle. The rainbow was right on cue. Your hard work has blessed us all..❤️

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

Amazing how fast the snow melts here once it starts. Nice rainbow.

[@allye5949]

Good to see someone remembered the mustard and ketchup for the hot dogs this time 😉 Hope all goes smoothly in the run up to the August wedding. Thanks for another interesting video.

[@norbetek]

Hello Gale. Work on the renovation of a new house is progressing considerably and your family is also helping you. Your son has joined the renovation brigade and you can see that the pace of work has increased significantly. On this occasion, we wish your son good luck in his new life. May everything be as well for him as for his father. I also greet your wife who bravely accompanies you during the renovation.

[@andreborges3627]

THAT SAUNA DUDE, WHAT A GREAT BIULD....WOW!!!

Thanks for showing us again. I just love your family.

[@davidwilliams9043]

Great family and the water girl Stella belly flopping was hilarious, I'm sure that the wedding will be a huge success. Peace from Arkansas

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

I can't believe that the old roofs held up to the winter snows, especially as your reconstruction is so much more heavily built, 👀💪💪👍.

[@cindymayo5700]

Another great video! Congrats to your son, Dylan, & his fiance on their upcoming wedding! 😊👍🎉

[@jimsoltner8978]

Wow you sauna looks extremely inviting. Oh and the rebuild is coming along nicely! Cheers folks

Hi, how are you all doing? Oh i am so glad that the snow is gone and better temperatures for you all. Working in the winter is 100% harder to get thing done. I fine you all do a great job. Anyway have amazing week and stay safe and sound

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Good watching you both working together, you and your sun, quickly done ✅ with the roof. It’s already looking so much better 💫

[@EFChapin]

Congratulations to your son and his betrothed. Great video, seeing the race against the impending storm and how well you demo’d and built the roof. So nice to see the family.

[@richardDownUnda]

Once again you guys have put together a great video. Nice to see the family members coming together to get work done too. Love saunas; it's been yeeeeeeeeears since we have had one. What a different aspect at the cabin with the thaw!!!!!! Beautiful. Makes a wonderful sight. How beautiful too, the rainbow. Keep being yourselves, we love to see you enjoying your lives together. Thank you for letting us share your personal time together. Hugs n blessings from us. Richard n Helen Down Unda.

[@scottn6810]

Awesome as always. Thanks for lifting my spirits and thanks for posting.

[@kuivo]

Good work and decent food. An interesting sauna set up, nice that you folks in US have also adopted (some northern parts). You need to add some stones to the stove if you will and don't burn your hand when throwing water on the stove (23:35 =). Keep it going Alaska!

[@jamesfairbairn1588]

What a blessing to share such a beautiful place with family. Making great memories. Great video.

We always add a drop or two of preferred essential oil to the water before throwing it onto the rocks. Another great vid! Thanks!

Hi everyone, Gale, you have one helluva work pool to choose from. You and your son work well together. He sure has a pretty wife to be, hope we get invited to the wedding couldn't think of a better place to have it. I love it it when you are at the mountain property, I could live there full time, so peaceful. Tanya is not only beautiful but, damn funny. I enjoy her funny personality. I do love a sauna, when I was a Winter caretaker at one of the lodges I worked at, we had a sauna much smaller and I sure felt good afterwards. That rainbow was beautiful. You have a great family and a good life. Thanks for sharing.

[@lafarrar8000]

HiHo From Sarasota Florida! Once again, an amazing feat of de- and re-construction of the roof. It seemed to go MUCH faster and easier when there were two dedicated men working to complete the job before the rain!! And, of course, there's always coffee and good things to eat that go along with the work, thanks to "the women folk!" (Not dismissing the food and coffee, Tanya! I know you're such a competent person that anything you choose to engage in turns out better for your efforts!!) This was the first time I've seen the sauna in use since the video showing the building and construction of the building, benches/seat, heater and shower. Man, I'd love to have a sauna in MY yard! Not needed nor as comforting in Florida, where the temps stay warm. But, getting rid of achy muscles works best in a sauna and/or hot shower. Most of all, the video, once again, shows how loving and comforting you all are and how the cabin really makes a great place to come home to. Peace to you all! Leslie Ann & Fred

[@cleberadri]
