The living room with the chairs and the fire place looks so cozy. I love it too. You could always put candles in the fire place. Just a thought. I see you as a "pioneer woman" my friend. :-)

[@zandramangrum5483]

Candles in the fireplace is a great idea.

[@laurathompson9649]

I have a wood burning fireplace that is not hooked up yet and I bought an electric log set with a heater. It looks pretty and the heat function is optional. I'd love to see you tile the wood surround😊

[@TheresaLawrence-wx4mq]

These are great ideas for the fireplace . I did something once that was so wonderful . I put a flickering candle bulb in a small lamp minus the shade . I placed it inside the middle of the space and then went out and cut a few pine branches and put them in front of the lamp criss crossed so they hid the bulb . I ran the cord out the door seam and plugged it in. Amazing flickering firelight , so cute !!! Love your evolving life there , good luck ❤ The bulb was $8 at the box store and was a large cylinder shape bulb , not a small thing so it really made a big flickering light , very cozy .

[@lisaogg6337]

Thanks for showing Kenai so much. I love seeing him. Those wing chairs are beautiful and they fit perfectly in your room. The inside of your cabin is looking so beautiful and cozy. Thanks for showing beautiful Alaska. Hugs and kisses to Kenai. Take care and God Bless you and Kenai always

[@catgirl897]

I love your sitting room. You could put some red and/or yellow fairy lights in the fireplace to give a 'warm' glow. I also love the dresser.

[@camilleschoonover4789]

Glad you got those chairs. It makes it look so cozy by the fireplace!! Kenai is so loving and precious!!🤗

[@rushingwindmountain]

Those chairs looks fits the decor perfectly and you are looking so charming sitting in one and in your right element. Your furry baby is so darn adorable🥰

[@livingintheforest3963]

Oh my God you did so good you never want new furniture I love antiques and vintage. My entire house is vintage from top to ceiling, including all of my clothing. I am so happy that you found such gorgeous antiques. I absolutely adore your place and didn’t know you had a little fireplace like that. Thought you just had the wood-burning stove. Been away for a while so happy to see that you are doing well.❤❤❤

[@normalee2682]

Even though I don’t drive, I loved the section on the car issues…..brought back memories of one of my favorite shows- “Car Talk”…….if anyone remembers that……. And there is NOTHING like a black fuzzy dog face to warm your heart…..❤️🐾❤️

[@redfeather8927]

I used to listen to Car Talk, too😊

[@Kevin-zz9nc]

Don't drive like an Alaskan....

[@revyred8679]

As a victorian lover myself you made a GREAT haul!!! Love them all. Can't wait to see how you finish with all your new steals. I just love your bloopers at the end...but this one was just hilarious 😂😂 Thank you for sharing!!

[@hilltopgirl2665]

Gosh, that china cabinet is great! Love it and that other which is going in your bathroom. Lovely. Imagine you got all that upstairs when your family visited. Best of luck with your car, hon.

[@teresahunter7645]

I love your new furniture! It really is beautiful! You & Kenai take care, and stay warm & safe! 💜🙏

[@joannewolfe5688]

I'm with you in buying quality used furniture from estates sales, auctions, and used furniture stores. I have furnished my entire house that way, and the quality is SO much better than costly new modern furniture. Your picks are great -- especially that huge mirror! Wow!

[@michelleellis8201]

The chairs are beautiful and look so nice flanking the fireplace. Good job on the mantle for the fireplace. It is very nice. The little alcove is so cozy! The China cabinet is also very nice. I can’t wait to see the item you will use for the bathroom vanity some day. It is a gorgeous piece of furniture. Second hand shopping is so much fun. Sounds like a car repair is needed quickly. Wow, that frozen waterfall was spectacular!

[@brunfree]

I like your style, when I had my previous Old Farm I had an old style decor. Brings comfort and cosy joy to the home. It’s all lovely ❤

[@a.m.k6143]

Loved todays out takes, Kenai is adorable, those big brown eyes melt ya heart and you were so funny. What fun you’ve been having purchasing preloved furniture, so many good bargains, look forward to seeing how you utilize the other pieces in your home. ❤

[@KALIVireshwara]

I absolutely love your little living room, never seen it before! I’m excited for winter now because I love your long videos and winter content the best. Keep up the good work and keep having fun, I can’t wait to see what you have “up your sleeve!”

[@Koali2011]

You’re putting a bathroom inside? Yayyyyy!

[@robertmontgomerybearwolf_s7715]

Amanda, your victorian chairs with the fireplace look awesome. To flashy of colors for the chairs would not be as pleasing as what you have now. The ambiance is breath taking. Your cabin is shaping up so nicely. As near as what I would have my cabin if I had one. Best fixture of this cabin is you. You make the cabin the cabin don't make you.

[@sharongibson1161]

Yes !! The 2 armchairs are perfect for that spot , cozy by the fire !!😊

[@cathyrobinson8667]

I loved seeing Kenai. He is such a beautiful dog. I also love the chairs and other furniture pieces.

[@originalsixx]

I love all of your new stuff! I buy a lot of household items including furniture at 2nd hand stores, antique shops and garage/estate/yard sales. You find some really cool stuff this way. Thanks for the video, Alone!

[@weedeater6946]

Hi Alone, your taste and skill in setting up your living area is awesome ! enjoy watching the transformation of your cabin... Hi to Kenai too ;)

[@connielipp8648]

Good Afternoon, What beautiful elk (?) at the start of the video-and the frozen waterfall was just breathtaking! I love all of your furniture! Can't wait to see your ideas of where everything, including your grandma's piece is going.; and that piece that will be for the bathroom too. The bookshelf and the 2 chairs and 'fireplace' area is so cozy looking. So many exciting projects and videos to look forward to. So glad for you that you've decided what to do about your car. I'm believing with you that only the perfect, knowledgeable mechanic will take on your car and that the price will be as minimal as possible; And a quick one-day repair. Til next time love to you and Kenai

[@raye5071]

Love buying previously loved furniture dishes etc. they have a story that continues to be told when you use them❤

[@lindaharris5704]

They look perfectly comfy and cozy and perfect for that room.

[@OurBucketListHasHoles]

Hi Alone 👋It’s good to see you🥰 I ABSOLUTELY love your new furniture additions. They totally fit your decor. It’s good to hear that you maybe able to figure out your vehicle issues. Not having transportation isn’t a good thing especially living like you do so far away from a town etc. Please keep us posted. You do a very good job on your videos Alone. But I like the bloopers the best. Your bloopers remind me of myself when I’m trying to make a video lol. I swear it takes me all day just to make one short video cause I mess up so much 🤦‍♀️ Hence why I don’t do videos lol. Much love and hugs to you. Stay safe, take care and God Bless🙏🥰

[@staceycarpenter6672]

Love the new furniture pieces!! Can't wait to see the rest of them in the room!!

[@BarbaraCooper-qg2bn]

I love your chairs and the fireplace with the bookcase just make it perfect!

[@juliajohnson6022]

Oh, I love those Victorian chairs. So cozy looking.

[@TheHaymeadow]

Love the new furniture additions, the end outtakes I was waiting for the Alfred Hitchcock style intro and I loved it! Also, the scenery was spectacular, the ice and black rock breathtaking. I'm please Alaska cut the cord was able to give such a comprehensive explanation, that will help when you get to the mechanic having some background to speak to. Great video Alone and yep some days you just want to indulge in a little relaxation. Have a great weekend 🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@SecondsOfAnOrdinaryLife]

Love all of the new furniture Al, it's really looking super cozy in there. Looking forward to seeing all of your projects this winter!

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

I love love those wing back chairs! 😍 They are beyond amazing and very fitting not only for the cabin but your personality too. What a cozy spot to grab a book and kick back….

[@sarahgupton2552]

Some candles or battery powered lights would make the fireplace cozy. ❤️

[@rebeccahutcheson599]

The chairs in the fireplace are beautiful, but I don’t know if you know you can make that fireplace look like it’s real by buying a insert electrical insert that makes it look like the fire logs are burning and now they even have it in a heater form. So it could be a win-win for real you get that total ambience plus a little heat. Love love love this set up.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I love fiddlesticks. Lol Alone, I love the chairs. I thought they look great and love the fireplace! I can't wait till you get everything fixed the way you want it. You've already come so far. I absolutely love the fridge cabinet. This was a great video. I pray your truck won't cost to much to fix. Hang in there. Be blessed.

[@patriciag.6395]

Put candles in your new fireplace

[@panhandleoff-roadranch2212]

Alaska is like a goldmine for  antiques 😂

[@Sunshine_AK]

I love those chairs! They fit YOUR style, and that's perfect for YOU ❤

[@patriciaherman6499]

Your house is beginning to look like a home and yes love all the furniture you've purchased so far. I was going to mention the Boss when you were converting the icebox and having you check out his video on his icebox. Hopefully, with the suggestion that'll fix your car problem. Hugs to Kenai. Have a great weekend. Be Blessed. 😊🇺🇲

[@michellewalls1464]

Oh I love the whole living room and the furniture.

[@BigT907]

Miss, I love what youre doing with your home Have a great turkey day BigT

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi BigT! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope it was a good day around the cabin. 🤗🐺💛

[@roseport20001]

I love those chairs, I love all the furniture that you got. Wonderful 😍

[@marlenewaraksa8756]

great job you have all winter to push furniture around and it’ll keep you warm Work wisely

[@donnaheaden9515]

Love the ideas with all you’ve picked up! Looking forward to seeing all the progress

[@copperpenny7526]

You might use the cozy corner with the colonial chairs and Franklin fireplace for family and “guest” photos. That would make a memorable album for the next generations!

[@she-bearacres6631]

The chairs are so you! I couldn't help but laugh when you was talking about how small the room was, its the size of my whole cabin! Lol

[@tinagonzales6426]

I just found you , I watch on TV KZbin ... you certainly have guts to do this alone ... I'm 66 , from Pennsylvania .. I raise my 6 year old grandson ... I have 3 sons who have 5 farms ... no animals , but crops an haul them ... just wanted to say hi , I've been watching your videos ,, an red I love those 2v chairs .... ❤

[@HKhan-wu4hs]

Your sitting area makes a lovely filming nook also.

[@RobertaFry]

I love the chairs! You can also get covers for them if you want a different color or pattern

[@marizaanvisagie9537]

Hi my friend hope you are well. Absoluutly love that chairs they are stunning. I want to give you some advice as its my business and do it everyday. Im sure the chairs are bit dusty and need a wash but its impossible due to you being remote. Take a spray bottel half with white vinegar and top up with water. Spray the couches not wet wet just light wet. The vinegar will kill any germs on it and it will make it smell fresh and not dusty. You can do this with your bed also. I add to the mix about 1 tablespoon of vanilla for extra fresh smell. You can do this on carpet also. Its just a quick fix but when summer comes I will give you a mix how to wash them outside 😊😊. Loved the video and so glad your getting advice on car❤. I personally cant wait for the bathroom and renovations🎉🎉 please give K a big hug

[@MrPerry61]

Making a house a home .❤

[@byronpyles996]

Totally agree with the auto advice here. I drive a Ford truck and they are very fussy when you begin to doctor them with after market parts and repair methods even on routine oil changes. I have a saying - "Just take it to Ford !! "

[@1968alaskan]

In regards to your Explorer, I do believe you said that there was repairs recently? I can't remember. I agree with Adam, most likely a coil problem. Not sure I would buy all new, but maybe 2 (keepinng an extra, just in case) One of the common problems that non-ford technicians make is not reflashing your PCM (power control module) and updating software. Most will reset, and call it good. Any ignition, computer replacement, timing chain repairs, etc. It's always best to have this done. Most say it's about 1/2 hour of labor. Reflashing, will remove error codes, perform a diagnostic and then input new performance calculations, and update software to latest version from Ford. Nice furniture BTW!

[@michaelmitchell7170]

Food for thought. With an inexpensive propane log set, you can turn your Franklin stove into a functioning fireplace without any expense other than a propane tank, regulator, and a bit of copper line. I use arrangement in my cabin and it works. No chimney needed.

[@annahoover5296]

Absolutely love the chairs,fit the cabin perfectly.

[@2redbird1]

I think you’ve done a great job.❤

[@fuzztfork8]

Your grandmothers china cabinet would make a great book cabinet

[@janicelucas8561]

Cabin looking REALLY GOOD!! Good buys on the furniture, should last for a long time. Great pics of ice formations. I've missed a few episodes, so I'm BINGING today. U/Kenai safe & healthy. U R CO connection.

[@enchilada1956]

Love, love, love everything you got for the cabin!

[@loisfromohio3109]

I like the furniture very much. Love following your adventures

[@Dashbshots]

What if you took a thicker piece of birch wood and drill holes in it so you can place candles in it. Then place the wood and candles into the stove for ambiance? I have a franklin stove in storage from childhood. I like that you created the wood storage with two parts. You can have the upper wood drying and use the lower wood. Then move the upper wood down after it's completely dry.

[@tammyfordsmith-ob7tm]

I have a fireplace just like that but I have all the parts. A friend gave it to me 45 years ago we use it in our hunting camp.

[@Koali2011]

Kenai got you wrapped around his little paw! What a charmer he is!

[@marianfrances4959]

Love the chairs! 👍😎🇨🇦🐾⚘

[@LissaFlatt-gq8ov]

New used furniture is always my happy place. I get an adrenaline rush when I get near a second hand store. I brake for yard sales. And you picked out some beautiful furniture, the wood side board is stunning. Do you get anytime to sew lately? 💖💖

[@DustyBottomAcresAK]

*Adam* at Alaska Cut The Cord is 100% correct about the spark plugs and plug gaps. Motorcraft is the only plug for a Ford engine. An incorrectly gapped plug, or a plug with even the slightest hairline crack in the porcelain will cause all sorts of issues, and will lead to eventual coil damage. The only time I would stray from this rule is if the Ford has a Mazda designed engine (I'm not sure about the 3.5L). In a Mazda designed engine I would run the plug Mazda recommends for that engine in a Mazda, usually a Nippondenso or an NGK. I agree on the coil packs being factory replacement items as well, although many times the originals are built by Bosch. If you go with the original supplier for the factory part you should be good as well. Cheap plug wires/boots will also cause issues, so always make sure that you are using the factory ones if available, or Belden Wires form Napa. As a rule of thumb, if the plugs are worn, the wires/boots should be replaced at the same time. Once you get everything fixed it is important to note that it may take some drive time for the computer to readjust the fuel trim levels to optimal levels again as well. The other thing I was going to add on the last video was the random misfires and the misfires being reported on cylinders 3, 4 & 5.... If the 3.5 has a 1-2-3-4-5-6 firing order it is entirely possible that the ECM is attributing some of those misfires to the wrong cylinders if they are happening so frequently, especially at higher RPM's, since the cylinders fire so close to one another relative to time. Good job with the explanation, Adam! I'm glad we're on the same page leaning towards the coil being the *end* culprit for the misfire. -Dusty

[@karinroberts5160]

I really like your purchases. They fit in well with your decor. Good luck with car issues! I hate the thought of you going into winter with an unreliable car.

[@suedavis681]

I love your chairs! They look like you and the atmosphere that makes you happy.

[@donnaingle391]

Those chairs look comfortable to me. I’m both large and am a bit taller than average, it looks like it comes up high enough for back support.

[@carriann3725]

Beautiful furniture that you recently purchased. Cabin home is looking very cozy and warm for you and Kenai. I will be sending you pictures at your email address of Niagara Falls. I am here now and will send you those pictures next week when I get home. 🤗💕❄️🎄

[@lspthrattan]

Your little fireside chat area looks cozy as it can be; as long as the area is warm enough to be comfortable, it won't matter that the little fireplace is only for show.

[@jburnett8152]

The chairs look comfy. Great place to sit and read. I know how much you like to be prepared and I had this thought sometime back. Gosh I'm not sure how to say this. I thought maybe one of your out buildings could be minimally outfitted as a emergency shelter. Pretty much just the basics. If for some reason you possibly needed a place. Just a thought. You know I am wishing you all the best.
