It's nice to see the whole family working together. We appreciate the effort you take to make these videos. I found your channel a year ago mid December and never miss an episode. I'm not sure you know the impact you have on others. It is a pleasure to know you. Blessings to the whole family and keep up the good work.

[@MontanaHaven]

The cabin is so beautiful! Your workmanship is impeccable! Enjoying your channel so much!

[@cathyrodeheaver8694]

The moose are probably wondering what you are doing in their home. Love the burning technique. This was new and educational for me. As always, total joy sharing with your family.

[@CCRider5312]

Buy some Hay and put it out in some Horse Hay Nets and Hang it about 7 foot off the ground around the tree 🌳 trunks for the Moose to eat . Put U up a Trail Cam or two and get some good close up pics of them pulling Hay out of them Nets to eat. 😁 They’re Having it hard finding good nutrition so they’re eating all your little sapling trees that are sticking up out of the snow. So they’d really enjoy some fresh Hay. Reason I said put in Horse Hay nets; Is to Ge it up off the ground and out of the snow and it makes it So Far less is wasted on the ground. Plus if U put it on the ground they’d eat it up in no time if it wasn’t covered in snow. They have to work for it to pull the Hay out of the Hanging Nets. 😉 The trim work looks awesome 👏 guys ! God Bless your Family 🙏🏻

Where you are reminds me of Labrador where I grew up. Ptarmigan or partridges as we call them were stuffed and baked for main xmas eve supper which is the Labrador Northern big xmas meal with veggies. The desserts were mainly partridgeberry pies or tarts. Our big family grew up working together also. You have some beautiful scenery there also. Best wishes for a very Happy New Year.

The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace. 🙏🙏 Numbers 6:24-26 (NKJV)

[@cindygoblirsch9438]

I am sold on the burned wood! I used to refinish furniture a lot. The chemical off gassing (in the last years) makes me so ill, I haven't been able to do what I am passionate about. I love taking old things and making them beautiful again. Love watching the cabin come together. I lived in a cabin as a child, and have always wanted a log home. That's actually how I found Meadowlark Homes online many years ago, and began corresponding with Elvie. After years of watching that channel, I found your channel and eventually your Montana Labradoodles channel. After I saw Autumn, I knew I wanted a puppy from her. ("So That's the Rest of the Story," as the late Paul Harvey used to say.) And Gracie is 30 pounds, she does have to have 4 small meals instead of 2 regular sized ones or she throws up, but that was easy to adjust to. Her health is great otherwise, and looks just like her Daddy! We love her and she is a sweetheart! God Bless you all! Your videos just keep getting better and better!!

[@MontanaHaven]

Bless you Cindy!!! Give Gracie a hug for us!!

Wow that trim is so pretty I love it 👌. And it's so awesome to watch you guys all work together. And you sure can stain a lot of boards in one big hurry especially when you speed the video up lol. It's so fun to watch that

[@glorygracek.1841]

For those of you who are wondering, Dutch Bltiz is an amazingly fun game to play, and if you find it, definitely buy it! For a New Years eve party for '06 into '07 we went to a party of friends that they had these mega size cards, never had seen that size before or since, and that what such a blast welding those things. It was obviously a floor game, but it was a big enough room, barely, for a couple of teams. Also, if you want another one that brings laughs, have a taffy pull that you're doing it on a shiny hardwood floor in socks! You're pulling each other all over the place! The trick is to lock your toes against each other. Sadly, there was a snow storm that got bad, so we had to leave before midnight. I barely got home as it was, but that will always be a fun memory.

[@MontanaHaven]

Sounds like a blast!!

So awesome. You are making such a good neadway. Exciting to say the least but when you finally move in it will all be worth it. God bless and you are the dearest couple ...........

When you were sharing your footage of walking across the snow it reminded me of a time when I was up in the hills and all of a sudden fell through the snow and was suspended by my arms, the snow had melted underneath and formed a little stream - luckily a friend was just behind me and helped pull me out by my backpack, and we stopped and made camp so I could get out of my soaking wet clothes. It was something that we laughed about afterwards but at the time it was pretty scary! I love following your journey from the north west of England. Once you have lived in Alaska for a year, claim the PFD (Permanent Fund Dividend) for everyone, it will help with some of your costs.
