Wolves, Antiques & More @ my Remote Alaska Cabin

[@TakeTheNameGodsGirlz]

O M Goodness, I was like "she just Topped what I thought that she was a Beast of a Woman!!!" Then I pee'd my fancy pants, laughing Soo hard, my husband was like "what is Soo funny" .. you just have to WATCH 😂 Thank you for the Needed hilarious Mountain ice climbing!!! Maybe enough stone to cover sink bowl and to set your cast iron on!? Glad we all have made mistakes and have given the Not to do to others!!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Climbing that 4 foot mountain of snow and ice was touch and go there for a bit! My garden pick axe pulled me through. The ice screw was probably overkill but had to be sure! I was a long (4 ft) down! 🤭 HA! Glad you enjoyed the opening of my video Lori! 🤣 The stone slab will be to set hot cast iron on and as a place for my dishes to dry. I like having my sink bowls able to move around and out of the way. But a small wash sink was a thought! Someone suggested a smoother surface to press or roll dough on. All great suggestions! You can always learn something from my videos! Even if it is what not to do! 😉🧡 Thank you so much Lori!

Excellent that thank you. Loved the look of the antique shop!! My fav store to shop in!Dave🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Thank you so much Dave! That antique store was two stories in the main building and a few additional buildings. I could have spent all day there! 🤗🧡

[@OurBucketListHasHoles]

Yes Alone I can hear both!! It’s very beautiful.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

At least for those who could not hear the river or the wolves, there was the silence! I love that! 🤗🧡

Chewie & I'd love to top the world with you!! LOL Sorry we missed some of your videos

Thats what sound my heart would be making on that ice!!!!!! Ooohhhhh lolololol . ok it probably still be doing that !!!!! Im with fancy pants peeing my pants laughing. I was sceeeeered. lov lov the oil lamps . i hav a huge collection like over a hundred that i bought at thrift shops over years. Some beautiful ones cheap. Some how i missed this one!!!!- fabulous shop

[@sarahgupton2552]

A nice piece of custom cut marble would also be nice and it makes a wonderful cutting board for food prep.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Marble would be nice! I am just wanting a nice stone slab to put hot cast iron pans from the wood stove. And a place to put up my dish rack for drying. I will have a huge area of butcher block to prep meats and veggies! I can't wait to get it completed! Thank you so much Sarah! 🤗🧡

[@sarahgupton2552]

@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I have marble kitchen counters and they are great for hot pots and pans. After 14 years, they look like new. For what you need, you might be able to find a piece left over from another job. Home Depot. I enjoy seeing what you’re planning and how it’s done. Take care.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

@@sarahgupton2552 Yes the places I have called are looking at remnants but they are all buried in snow at the moment. Have to wait until the snow melts a bit before I know what is available.

[@PungoPrairie]

The climb is Hilarious Alone! 'Just cracks me up! Good to see you made a road trip out of the cabin! Loved the scenery. Loved the music too! I just LOVE Antique stores. Around these parts in Virginia, East to West there are "antique malls". I often stop in when I come upon one. Usually, I know what I am looking for. However, there are times when I leave after purchasing some unexpected treasure. I like you, would also LOVE to find an antique Ice Box. I still call my refrigerator an “Ice Box". So, on to your kitchen counter. I just love the vision you have for the end result. A splash of color here & there is something I also love to include in by own interior designs. For most if my life, I was more like an "earth tone" guy. However, after a trip to Mexico 20 some years ago? I decided I needed to splash more color into my life. I cannot wait to see the final results of your kitchen! It just takes time. Especially when you are doing it all "Alone". It is a labor of Love No Doubt! Thank you once again Alone for another very instructive, & entertaining episode! Love the Out Takes Too!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hey Bill! So glad you enjoyed the video! 🤭 Yeah the road trip was nice. Scary but at least I didn't have to drive! In Colorado we had this entire "Broadway" lined with antique shops. You could have spent a whole week and still not seen every shop! Now they are all marijuana shops. I would have thought Virginia would have had ice boxes! I was going to have you pick up an extra and ship it to Alaska! 🤣 If you saw my older videos of my house in Colorado, I like darker colors. Brown house. Navy blue kitchen. But now that I can make my cabin more old style (Victorian), I want to use those colors (without the lead poisoning though) 🤪 After painting and staining and getting the butcher block and sandstone installed, I actually have one final addition to the counter! But that is a secret for now!🤫 Thank you so much Bill! 🤗🧡

[@ashleyanderson2859]

Love antique shops. A bit of color to brighten things up 👍 At least you have a very solid base to the counter. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

One of the biggest antique stores I have ever been in! It was amazing! Some nice paint to liven up the kitchen will be nice! Nothing too crazy. I don't think there is one drop of paint anywhere in this cabin. Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the counter top! Very solid base! It will end up looking so much better now. Thank you so much Ashley! 🤗🧡

You know most accidents happen at home. The only thing you were missing before the decent was showing everybody your parachute. Wow from your house to Anchorage and back home all in one day plus shopping and dinner now thats a long day. I think your counter top idea is great. I made mine out of pallet wood thinking it was just for a short time I like it so much 10 years later and its still here. I can't wait to see what yours looks like with the stone work on the end. Thank you for sharing

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I have heard that and it is why I moved as far away from my old home in Colorado as I could! WHEW! 😁 I opted to leave the parachute and took ice screws instead! I like to live on the edge sometimes! 🤣 I guess we get used to that trip from up here. Seems like nobody stays in Wasilla/Palmer overnight. We just want to get back home. So much traffic! 🤭 I am considering a pallet wood furniture of some sort. I keep using the pallets for firewood and "extra" pallets are not everywhere up here. Even the stores want to charge 7 bucks for a pallet! I may have to make a run to Anchorage to do a pallet run! Just kidding! I bet you made a nice counter for it to still be nice after 10 years! My counter was nice as is but will look nicer after sinking some more cash into it! At least it better! 🤪 Thank you so much! 😉🧡

Ice climbing. ;) you give me so many ideas Goldie. Thank you for making quality videos and putting in extra effort. Carry on Wavey says hi ;)

[@lynsmith2698]

Hey ya…don’t beat yourself up over the counter top….that’s how we learn. Anyways the new counter top will look fab. The paint is going to be great too, when you live with little color for months on end, some color does wonders for the soul. Thanks you for sharing ❄️🇨🇦❄️

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I think in the end, the counter top will look awesome! Just took a bit of cash out of the checkbook I wasn't planning on! But plenty of time to save up for construction projects! The color I am adding was actually just a last minute decision as well but I figured it will happen eventually so might as well just do it! After the table is done I will have one more finishing touch to add! But that's a secret for now! 😉🧡

[@denisewiebrimmer454]

Omg I about fainted when I thought you were climbing a glacier. Then Boom you were on the snow mound lol

I only need like 2 1/2’x 2 1/2’ piece for the stove top. That is going to look great when you are done. Thank again, much love and take care-Debbie 🥰

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hey Debbie! Home Depot has many sizes so you will easily find the size you need and hopefully with no cutting. But cutting is not a big deal either. I think my little mess up will end up making this counter look way better! And I have one final addition to the counter that I will reveal in a video when its all done! It's a secret though 🤫🤣

[@MJY58]

WoW Annie I have great respect for you to climb that mountain by yourself. But you made it look real. But the countertops looks good Keep up those great videos.

I was lucky to find stock footage of an ice climber, wearing orange and a white helmet! That never happens!🤣 It was a fun day with the neighbors.

Rob! You really are a Jack of all trades! So not surprised! 🤭 Ship soapstone? I am looking for a (rough estimate) a 2x3 piece 1 1/4" thick! That has got to be over 100lbs! 😲 Isn't Duane's like the best antique store! I have never been in such a big antique store and could have spent all day in there! And spent all my money too! 😁 I have one cut to make on the butcher block and then I can get busy staining and sealing it.

StoneCoat Countertops! good up to over 500 degrees, ie: hot pans etc on counter. It’s resin epoxy that is food grade! Please look it up, they are in Portland. Any design you can think up. You can do it yourself, they have a thousand tutorials. I’ve done them for many people. It’s your own custom created work of art! For 1/10th the cost of stone, just as resilient, even better, and you can fill those seams…and preserve the look of your wood if you want to!

Yeah an antique store is more than just shopping. All the history that you could possibly blend into the way you live now. I like anything vintage.

That is beyond wonderful I’m so happy for you because as you get some more money and get settled, you’ll be able to buy the beautiful antiques you want in the era that you like which I believe is 1850s to 1880s that is just going to be amazing. It will make your house so Ideal for you!!! Can’t wait to see what you furnish. How awesome to live in rural Alaska quietly in a home that is exactly the way you want it.❤

HA! The only reason I went on this road trip was I didn't have to drive. Did it seem like we were going fast? It was what I felt like a safe speed and very little slipping.

Wow, guess you knew there would be projects when moving from CO. Hope you have ramps or some such means to assist you in lifting and placing items. This old farm-boy frame used to brush off those 'more than neccesary endeavors. Nowaday, the push to perform is still there but a whole lot more guarded than before :)

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I was looking forward to the projects! My final home so I was going to do ALL of the things I have been thinking about for decades! When I originally built the counter on the floor, I had to flip it over myself. Used ratchet straps and leverage to get it upright. I filmed it but every other word was not "family friendly"🤣 I completely understand being guarded though. It's not worth getting hurt for. But sometimes you just have no choice!

A piece of marble/ polished / makes a perfect surface to roll your wheatbuns and homemade breads on...as well as pizzas

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I want to use that stone to put hot skillets off the wood stove. I am not sure how polished marble does. At least I will have the full butcher block to make bread on! And pizza's! Thank you so much Kristin! 🤗🧡

I was never able to find butcher block that size. Many people square up structural lumber by trimming off the sides.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I think butcher block is just getting more and more popular! And I have actually squared structural lumber as well (Colorado). Much easier with a table saw which I don't have yet. 😉🧡

It is a dangerous place! I purposely walked past many items I thought would look great in the cabin but had no way to get them back there. Better to not tourture myself! 🤣🧡

Love the content, love the bloopers, love that you're branching out with a new youtube series! Stay well, see you on the next. ❤️

New series will most likely be a live stream once I figure it out. Hopefully my internet holds. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos! Thank you so much! 🤗🧡

The animal pitch sounded like a coyote but a coyote usually yips . So you will have to run it down and check it out. Could be a neighbors dog. Some day I would like to build a dresser/wardrobe that looks like an antique ice box. Cheeers

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Neighbors dog? My closest neighbor is just a tad too far away on that side of my property. I have heard both coyotes and wolves around my cabin in the tree line. I do not fear them as they tend to be overly cautious. Still send shivers down the spine though! So no running it down for this gal! I have seen some fantastic antique ice boxes in my day but now that I want one, nada! You plan on making a dresser? That is one huge piece of stump to put on the lathe isn't it?

[@rbhhaner6151]

Hello from sunny but cool Arizona. Loved the intro. Was great. Had a lot of us going there for a bit.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I still climbed that huge 4 foot mound of snow for real though! 😝🧡

[@connielipp8648]

Good Afternoon.. HAha! You got us good with your 'mountain climbing'.. I love that you don't have to worry about getting up on high roof lines to scrap snow off the roof now!.. What a neat shop you stopped in. Hope you find/found lots of goodies to bring home... Loved that shot of Kenai playing in the snow.. Looking forward to seeing your completed 'draining board' and your new series too.. Love to you

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello Connie! You know I did climb that 4 foot mound of snow without any safety ropes! 🤭 It sure is nice to see all the snow sliding off the roof instead of me up there shoveling it down! The antique store was amazing! So much awesome stuff there. Leaving empty handed was tough but I will go back there and spend more time. Kenai does love to roll around in the snow! He does it almost every time unless it is below zero. Then I am lucky if he at least makes it down the two steps before peeing. 🤣 And the new counter top will have to wait until spring. All the places with stone have to wait until the snow melts. New series will most likely just be Live Streams once a week! Once I figure out how that works! Thank you so much Connie! 🤗🧡

Using finishing lumber you can use pocket screws to avoid the need to buy the biscuits etc. If you get a kreg pocket screw set up, you will find hundreds of uses for it. It will pay for its self quickly. Sorry I didn't know about your coming my direction.. we could have said hi.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I have seen those devices that make pockets screws easier to do. I need to get one. Hey coming that direction, if I was to have time to say hello, I'd have to see (John in Alaska) first! I have to plan a time that I don't have to get back so quickly! It makes for a very long day! Thank you so much! 🤗🧡

The few people I have met out here are very nice. Most people with cabins out here are seasonal so I most likely will never run into them.

Look forward to seeing the kitchen counter once you’ve rectified your errors. The best part, my partner walked in and watched that segment, he is totally guilty of doing exactly the same thing, running off and doing things without putting some thought into the project, he kept looking at me knowingly 🤣🤣, that some made my afternoon! Have you considered a resin between the butchers block and stone? You could tint the resin the same colour as the painted back of the cabinet. Just an idea that might not be practical for multiple reasons but it came to mind. Either way, I think it’s going to look fantastic with the stone end I love that idea. Have a great week Alone 🌻🌻

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hello Hayley! I am all for saving money where I can but building something is not the best time to do that. At least not normally. And I knew it was going to be an issue but thought I would just figure out a way to fix it! And I did! Just took a lot more cash! 🤭 I have not considered resin in between! But I certainly will now. I have not decided if I want to seal it all down or keep it in a way that I can remove the tops for cleaning. I like the resin idea more than silicone or caulking though. Thank you for the awesome idea! For now, this project has to wait until spring! Bummer! Thank you so much Hayley! I hope things are starting to come together there after the move! 🤗🧡

[@curtstacy779]

I was going to say: you're doing much better than me if you can climb that mountain of ice! lol. I was having problems walking two horses through 2ft of snow. one walked off without me and the other just looked at me like I was stupid when I ended up on my belly with his lead still in my hand. and that was flat! I have a similar project that I am researching it's called a farmhouse table. if you look up how these are built they just saw the edge of the construction lumber and don't forget you can get what you need for dowels cheap if you don't want to buy a biscuit joiner. just make sure you hit the center that is the only part that's difficult but sanding can take out most errors. if you like the wood look but want color I was looking at the colored stains. remember they have wood conditioner for pine if you go with stain. the stone would be awesome! Great video! Thank you.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

The 4 feet of snow I climbed using my garden pick axe was about my limit! Maybe the horses were like "Curt why are you laying down at a time like this!?" Farmhouse tables are nice! I was going to mention turning construction lumber into dimensional lumber but I figured it was enough info. And the thing with biscuits or dowels is exactly that! Make sure you hit center! I just didn't want to risk it. Wood conditioner you say? Interesting. I will look that up! The custom stone piece will take a few months but I am in no hurry! Not going back to Anchorage for a spell anyway! Glad you enjoyed the video Curt! Thank you so much!

You made me think wow, she went mountain climbing! By herself?? Then I was like she has to be with someone. Then I burst out laughing 😂. I love soapstone. My old house had two soapstone sinks, I never knew you should oil them. At least I was told that. Can’t wait to see everything ~ Janet 😘

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I don't think I would have gone ice climbing even if they told me there was a million dollars at the top ....... um ..... well maybe I would! 🤭 But since this one was just a 4 foot high, I was good risking it solo! 🤣 Soapstone can be oiled often but butcher block should be cared for as well. So I will just add it to my chore list. After I get everything done to the counter, I will have one final surprise to add to it! But that's a secret! Thank you so much Janet! 🤗🧡
