It’s nice to watch someone build there house correctly most diy Alaska home builders on TH-cam don’t know what they’re doing you must have experience building !!! Good job !!
Yeah I agree, no cutting corners. Nice job team
There are only a few TH-cam Channels worth watching, and you guys are one of them. Authentic, normal, stable, no drama...just living. Don't you ever quit. :)
🙂
Really great work! Thanks for sharing. Love the no fake drama just a caring couple working for a life together
Thank you!
39 Mins, loving the longer videos and the progress so far. keep up the great work you two
Glad you are enjoying the longer videos! We are doing our best to keep them entertaining 🙂
@@northtoalaska2022And your succeeding, keep it up your always happy and smiling. Showing your furry friend and the scenery.
It's really nice seeing your home beginning to take shape... from my comfortable recliner in a much warmer climate. 😉
I'm looking forward to seeing you continue your journey.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the build 🙂
I agree. Most are building little more than a shack in the woods and think "they made it" in life.
Greetings from Talkeetna. My husband stands and stares off into the woods, too❤. He's out in the backhoe pulling stumps and moving big rocks right now. We are a Milwaukee & Stihl household. If one of those companies builds it, there is a good chance we have one. The house is going to be rock solid.
You two work so good together !!!
Thank you! 🙂
I agree that you buy the better tools if you are going to use them most of the time. Normally buy 1 time use tools (cheap) to get a unique job done, those tools normally take up space in my tool cabinet for a long time before I use them again or get rid of them. Good job overall on the base. Excellent video!!
Hey guys, it’s good to see you again, to be honest the way that your building your home it’s so strong it could probably withstand a tornado
The Milwaukee t-25 star drive bits are rated #1
Interesting 🙂
You are smart workers who are doing an excellent job not cutting corners. This home will be great when is finished.
My grandfather he passed away but he was from the old country and I know him well enough he would have liked your bild, very sturdy, very strong, well-built, well made, thank you for sharing with us. Denmark everything they do over there is really Stout.
You said you had to install hurricane hangers. They are more earthquake hangers. As I was writing this your wife added that the hangers for earthquake.
Used a palm nailer when we built my brother's house. They work great.
Looking fantastic! I love the "forever" mentality!
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for taking us along
greetings folks; since your fur buddy likes chewing on sticks so well, yall need to train it to pile them in one place. it would clean up the homestead in no time at all! i am thankful for yalls videos because they have a balanced amount of action and talking as well as clean language!..........g
Milwaukee! Best tools AND pickles.
Yes!
My wife and I have built a couple of houses and watching y'all brings back some good memories and a little PTSD. 😊
😍
I'm so glad to see a new video. Wish you would do one every week. I love watching y'all. As always be safe and God bless you 💖 Are you all going to have a garden this year
I would like to see a video every week, too. I absolutely love their videos, and this project is well worth watching. This couple works so well together and has done their research.
Glad you are enjoying all the videos! We get out as many as we can handle. Maybe in the future once we get all our other endeavors in order we can devote more time to videos 🙂
Wow we live in Perth Western Australia ,our temperatures get hot in summer but watching you guys having to cope with the weather there is amazing,very happy to be subscribed to a hardworking couple who are not up themselves and refreshingly just doing it there’s hope for us yet cheers
Hi Jeffrey, Our summer is almost here! You might be surprised but with warm clothing, the cool weather just becomes normal 🙂 keep cool on those hot days in Perth! And thanks for your kind words!
Come on Milwaukee, give Katie a tool😁
It just so happened that after this video a good friend in Anchorage gave us another Milwaukee hex impact so she has one to use for the rest of the project!
Painting the wood floor will help with rain.
You two are flying with the build. It is great seeing how well you two work together.
Thank you! 😃
I enjoy see a couple working well together. Great build.
Believe it or not, the Milwaukee drill runs even faster for those screws. Great tools!
Love your content..keep doing the good work...can't wait to see your cabin built ...blessings from ireland 🇮🇪
Great to hear! Thanks 🙂
I love the quality and thoughtful research you guys put into everything you do.
Thank you!
Nice job guys it sure looks amazing.
Thank you! 🙂
So enjoy watching you do the floor the right way!!
I really like your Milwaukee drop saw. Seems to cut nice with plenty of power.
Coming from two “mature” adults that weren’t concerned with ear protection when younger, I like seeing y’all wearing ear protection.
If that's not the milwaukee Surge Hydraulic driver, you should give that driver a try. Quieter and more powerful than the regular fuel impact driver.
That's one heck of a floor
Watching screw all those straps on brings me back to the days before strap nailers! 😂
Haha wish we had one!
Great job great team work
Great job Katie
Looks like all is well there, except for the "bobo" on the finger. The pup is enjoying himself also. Nice to see the floor on now. Perhaps a nice dance floor for later events? Good info on the heat coming up through the pipe. The heat trace is still a good idea just incase. All the best and stay safe. PS: give the pup a pat on the head for me.
Always happy to see a video from you two... Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙂
Enjoying your videos. Best of luck with the rest of the build.
Good to hear! Thank you 🙂
Good morning from Cape Cod. You two make a great team. I enjoy your videos keep them coming. Exciting times watching your build. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy spring. Take care✌️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Hello, 👋 exciting times for sure! Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated. Happy Spring ❤️
GREAT JOB LOVE THE SCENERY
Great job putting your plywood down
Gute Arbeit, dann kann es jetzt richtig los gehen. Das schafft ihr zwei 👍💪
What a beautiful build Just love watching you guys Best Wishes Southampton England UK
Thank you 🙂
Nice video.
Not sure that the tool comparison was really fair. Comparing a 2 amp battery with a 5 amp battery doesn't seem right, even being partially discharged. I had a Bosch cordless drill and loved it, but after several years, the batteries were obsolete and when you found one, expensive. I went to Ridgid. Tools and batteries are guaranteed for life. No question that DeWalt and Milwaukee may be better tools, but the guarantee and battery replacements are game changers for me.
Wow, awesome subfloor! Good job.
Good luck building your house 🏠
I think you both passed the Ikea challenge with flying colours.
😅
Great video
Great job, good teamwork
Thanks 🙂
Are you Millionär?Greating from Germany🍾👍
It might be a good idea to put something like TYVEK over your entire sub floor, and leave it on until you got the roof on, and it dried in, then you can use a razor knife to remove it.
You really do a great job!
You two are doing an excellent job , it's so nice to see you two working together. I may have missed something in the video, but what happened to your finger ? What are you carrying for protection? If you don't mind me asking. As always looking forward to the next video. Take care.
That is a great milestone! Thx for bringing us along.
Our pleasure 🙂 glad you enjoyed the video!
First time I've ever seen someone building a house while open carrying but I guess being Alaska it's a necessity.
bears? with a gloc?
Pple do get killed unexpectedly on their homesteads by bears.
It happens. Not to many yrs ago a guy came home and his wife and kid were killed outside by a bear.
It happens fast.
@@yoop177 surprised they'd get near all the building sounds and machines.
You guys have become one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Love how well you work together to complete your Alaskan dream. Keep up the good work!
Sure looks good. Those tung and grove sheets can be a problem getting them tight. It looks like you two got them locked in tight.
I actually started using Harbor Freight's Hercules impacts. It's very comparable to my Milwaukee. For the price and the fact that I can walk into any HF store with anything wrong with it and walk out with a new one works for me.
I wish they had harbor freight here, so much good value for certain tools. I don't have any of their power tools but I have one of the mechanic's tool chests, great buy at $1100. A comparable snap-on box is $14k, huge savings! We use a lot of other good hand tools and gas powered tools that have been well worth it from them and saved a lot of money.
Awesome job!! I use my leafblower to get all the sawdust and debris off my jobsites too!
first class work
Nice team work. Looking forward to to seeing how you develop rodent “keep out.”
Love watching your progress!
I love your videos and I miss ALASKA
Glad you love them! 🙂
Great video and brilliant progress you are a great team and thorough in all you do.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
I love this stuff. 🙂
Looking good.
Looking good, Looking forward to your next video ❤thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Good work guys
Thr flooring is coming out beautiful. Love it.
Thank you!
Really great progress!…. Can’t wait for the walls and roof!
The sub floor looks great! Its a joy to watch your video's. Thanks for sharing.
You’ve done very good work. Happy for you both. Continue to live your dream.
Nice job! Y’all work so well together. Looks very sturdy.
On the subfloor I would put a decking coating on it to waterproof it, which is generally a coat of cheap latex paint of any color.
Nice job!!!!
Out of all the diy’sI have to say yours went together the best. Great team work.
Awesome video
Stay safe
Lookin' good - Love watching all the progress you're making - Thanks for sharing....
your are doing such a excellent job. No problem overbuilding anything you 2. Great Job
I am utterly so impressed with the meticulous planning and execution of your support/subfloor system. If the crawl space is insulated and enclosed your cabin will be standing for decades to come. Might I suggest that after your insulation is installed in your floor system that you add a barrier if 1/4 inch builder's mesh to the bottom of your floor joists to keep vermin and other creatures from taking up residence in your floor system. ou guys make an amazing team, so impressive!
Awesome job! Husband and I really enjoy watching your progress! Definitely taking notes for our home build!
Great video.
What an exciting time of the year here in Alaska!!! It's fun that you share your adventures with us🥰
Gardening soon, yeah? Say Maahhh to the goats for me🐐😍
Build it right, build it once.
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸
That’s awesome it’s only straight up with the walls from here on out 👏🏼😁! That’s cool 😁👍🏼
In the words of Tom Silva from This Old House…”That’s not going anywhere Norm”
Well done
Love your videos!!
Great progress, You Two do it right, Your Integrity is 💯❗It is a pleasure to watch your build‼The view at the end of video is spectacular💚💛
Hello from Dominican Republic it’s good 👍
Looks great!! Gonna be a really nice house.
Looking great.
Its looking awesome! I'm rooting for you to get the house dried in before the snow flies! Its good to see you overbuilding everything, especially since you are in a seismic zone. Just wanted to mention (as a framer), you always want to block between joists at the load bearing points--where they sit on each beam...especially since yours are spliced there. Otherwise, everything looking good. You might try using your drill for the lag and timber screws instead of the impact...much quicker and quieter. LOL
I’ve enjoyed your videos from beginning to end and have enjoyed them immensely. I look forward to others should they follow.
You two are doing a great job, that’s gonna be a quality build
Awesome job, you two are building a fantastic house. Love your videos keep them coming.👍👍
I suggest that you hang a wireless temperature sensor down in the water pipe tube housing to know how close to freezing the air in the tube gets.
You guys are Awesome!!
