Wiring the Off grid Alaska cabin for a refrigerator

[@leemobai762]

Nice glad to see you didn’t get sucked into getting a Bluetti POC. I’ve had nothing but problems since I got mine.

[@SeanInAlaska]

I have a small Oupes tgat i use for the laptop, but an actual battery system is what I always planned on.

[@xqzmeartdesign284]

Ahhh…. Now you’re frozen in time! Just sit back tonight Sean and chill, Lol! Seriously though… Have a Great weekend and enjoy man!

[@SeanInAlaska]

I am kicking back on the couch right now!

[@xqzmeartdesign284]

I wouldn’t be kicking too hard with that crazy bruised leg of yours… by the way, can you manage the ladder part of your life yet?

@@SeanInAlaskaNow don’t be kicking back too hard with that bruised leg of yours there Sean! Meantime can you manage the ladder yet?

[@SeanInAlaska]

@xqzmeartdesign284 I can! I have been sleeping upstairs again since maybe 3 days after the accident lol....my bed is much better than the futon hahahahaha

Great Job Sean. The cabin is coming along great.

[@SeanInAlaska]

Thanks guys!!! Loved your live yesterday!!

[@lesliearbogast1]

You are making progress!!❤

Good job Brother. We got hit by a hurricane, trying to dig out. See ye next week.

[@SeanInAlaska]

Hope you guys are safe brother! Crazy floods happening all over your way.

[@PandJsHomesteadAdventure]

Hi Sean! Great to see a update from you. Looking forward to seeing the fridge installed. Hope you have a great week.

[@SeanInAlaska]

Thanks guys! You too!!

[@miric6224]

Hi Sean. Not sure you’ll see this, looks like you already checked comments. Hope you’re feeling better. You look like you got some sun. My sourdough starter is having a slow start. I think it’s a temperature issue. I have the same stove you’reusing. It is gas. I bought an extra shelf so I could bake six loaves of bread. The bread pans just fit in. I give away and freeze my bread. Before my knee surgeries I baked almost every week. About 30 yrs ago I made up my own recipe. I was lucky to find a copy i happened to write down because i usually baked from memory. Now I’m aNxious to bake sourdough again. Hubby bought me a big black, speciality, cast iron bread baker: oval, flat bottom, dome lid, two off set ‘u’ shapped handles, pricey. Take care. Your cabin is coming along nicely. Hope you got well enough to go back to work. Mary

[@SeanInAlaska]

Hi Mary! This is my second week back to work and I am healing everyday now! I am so excited to hear about your bread adventures!!! I am jealous of your baking pan too!

[@kevinwright1551]

It's coming along vary nicely. I like you are thinking safety first. Vary good indeed. Keep up the great work. Have a beautiful weekend.

[@SeanInAlaska]

Thanks Kevin! You as well 😀

Glad to see you, Sean. It's looking okay for a rookie.😊

Thank you!!

Looking great buddy good to see you today

Good to be seen! Hahahhahahha...even if it was through milk racks!

Your getting closer. Have a great weekend.

[@kristingrounds4163]

That fridge is coming soon!! Very exciting!

[@raquelhernandez1733]

One more thing done, Sean..Nice!! Enjoy your weeken!

[@KrissBartlett]

that yellow plug looks exactlly the same as our plugs in Australia but we have switches on the outlet alot safer glad your getting better to Sean

[@SeanInAlaska]

I saw switches on the outlets in Ireland too lol

[@charlesandanaylnw4892]

Great progress on the solar system Sean. Oversize plates are the Best! Oscillating saws work well for cutting out outlets and remodeling outlets are good if sheet rock is already installed. What is your walk space between your refrigerator and the stove?

[@SeanInAlaska]

I really wanted to try out the router, but the next outlet will be either a jigsaw or the oscillating saw for sure! 4 feet from stove to refrigerator.

[@oldgrumpy]

Hi from south africa. Always connect the batteries first to the charge controller then the solar panels.

[@SeanInAlaska]

Good point! I did in this case, I seemed to have edited that out.

[@Forest_Actual]

Note to self: Don't let Sean cut out outlets in your home! LOL

[@SeanInAlaska]

😂🤣😂🤣 truth!!! Hahahhaha

[@AlexB-km7os]

From other side... Ask Sean to install, but also ask to put his signature next to outlet. When Sean will have 100M subs on YT, that piece of wall will cost fortune.

[@SeanInAlaska]

@AlexB-km7os 🤣😂🤣😂

[@mikemckinley1031]

Hello Sean in Alaska how are you I see you were frustrated putting the outlet in the wall it’s ok I hope you have a better day and weekend here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎

[@SeanInAlaska]

I always get frustrated with new things Mike, but I get over it 😉 have a great weekend!

[@mikemckinley1031]

@@SeanInAlaska i love your channel

[@SeanInAlaska]

@mikemckinley1031 thanks so much Mike!

[@Volusia1]

Get a box extension sho you can put cover on flush. Don’t use longer screws. Simple fix. We do it all the time for cabinet outlets.

[@SeanInAlaska]

I did just that! Super simple to install too hahaahhah

[@StevenMaine207]

Just make a hole in the exterior wall with a big revolving door. In the winter, you can just spin the whole refrigerator so it's outside and spin it back inside to get food out. No power is needed. In summer, spin it inside and leave it and power it with the solar. 😂

[@SeanInAlaska]

There is a bit of genius in your comment! Hahahahah....I just visualized how to make that work, hahahahhah!

[@StevenMaine207]

​@SeanInAlaska you can make it work. You're an off grid genius. 😅

[@SeanInAlaska]

@StevenMaine207 😂🤣😂🤞

[@RebelCanners]

My dad used the shell of a window ac unit to make a cold box that we used in the winter in Michigan opened only from the inside but hung outside the window and kept things cool and then cold depending on the weather

[@StevenMaine207]

Thats a great idea. Clever fella your dad.​@RebelCanners

[@ashleyanderson2859]

Progress!!

[@kimvanderlaan4120]

Promise me after you get that fridge you’ll put your Mayonnaise in there 😂 I’m not a Karen I promise. I can’t get the cables right to jump a battery so I’m happy to watch! Have a great weekend.

[@SeanInAlaska]

😂🤣😂 I will most likely keep it in the refrigerator simply to keep it off my counter hahaahha.... but Best Foods, Hellmann's mayo, does not require refrigeration after opening....just for the record lol

[@kimvanderlaan4120]

@@SeanInAlaska it don’t?? all these years camping and I’ve made room for it in my cooler, I worried about salmonella!!! I’ve learned something new.

[@SeanInAlaska]

@kimvanderlaan4120 I actually looked that up after seeing a video on it and was shocked! I tested it on a half jar a few months ago, and it has been out of my ice chest ever since!

[@AlexB-km7os]

@@SeanInAlaska From Hellmann's US website FAQs: "Does Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise need to be refrigerated? Please refrigerate Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise after opening, and store it in your refrigerator door. Do not freeze mayonnaise or place it towards the back of your fridge, as very cold temperatures may cause separation."

[@SeanInAlaska]

@AlexB-km7os Mayonnaise? Surprisingly, no. The folks at Hellmann's, also known as Best Foods, told us that their mayonnaise can remain at room temperature. after it's open.Apr 15, 2024

[@navydave1]

Nice! Its coming together. I just got my new Victron 24v Multiplus II 3K inverter/charger Looking forward to putting that in That sucker is heavy. Like 42 lbs! lol. Put a hole in my camp chair just setting it down on the chair! Corner of it ripped a nice gouge! Ugh! lol

Was just wondering why getting the wood stove is not on the top of your priority list I see you have already had nights below freezing

[@SeanInAlaska]

It has been at the top of the list for weeks now. Since I hurt myself, I have not been physically able to do it. Should I not get it done, it is OK though. I have a heater to use if need be.

[@geraldkeller801]

I watch all your videos and enjoy very much how you have done all the work on your place I'm 64 and would never be able to do all that Alaska has always been a dream of mine but unfortunately I will never be able to make that happen so I watch a lot of Alaska videos I was just wondering about the wood stove because winter is coming I hope you get better soon keep up the good work

[@SeanInAlaska]

@geraldkeller801 without giving too much away...you will like next week's video 😉

[@AlexB-km7os]

I'd rather install a vented heater in a first place and had woodstove as complementary heat source. Vented heater is inexpensive, easy to install and almost hassle-free.
