I absolutely adore how you two are always saying “I love you” and “thank-you” and “you’re welcome”! So necessary and special in a relationship! You inspire me!
Seeing the blue water of the Kenai River you know you’re getting close to Soldotna. Alway saw eagles on the river in winter. Beautiful drive and beautiful places! Thank you for sharing. Great cinematography as usual. It’s like being there staring out the window. Just fantastic! House is coming along!
Sweat equitity 💪 🇺🇸 ❤when I work construction- I try and work relaxed & refreshed. Breaking tools & parts is frustrating & costly. But you both are doing great❤someday it will be time for naps 😂😂in about 50 more years 😅😂
Enough of the sheetrock already...lol 😂😅 Ya'll should've spent more time at your friends house, we would've understood. Two busted sheets, but able ro salvage them for sure. The land you live in is really beautiful! Freezing, but beautiful 😅 Love ya'll ❤️
Wow you have some really high ceilings! The job is hard enough on a normal height ceiling. You’ve got the added height as well. No wonder you had a problem reaching up! Another great video, nice to see you relaxing with friends. Stay safe guys, looking forward to the next steps in completing the master bath.❤
Ryan: outstanding job sir doing the Master Bathroom. That you measure it, cut it when necessary, lifted it and got it put on ceiling along with the wall. Sir mad respect for you. I hope can get some fun time again soon. Who knows maybe you will get another rabbit. Von, you must be enjoying the finished rooms now. Have a good night.
I dunno why you didn’t help her empty the bathroom or why you both didn’t start work on the Sheetrock together so nothing would be lost. But her help, didn’t you, lol. Team work makes the dream work. From minor to major.
What you did here from The very begining is absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm from Brazil but always loved ALASKA. I'M A PDYCHOLOGIST AND ENERGETIC HEALER and I work with FLORAL Therapy with The Alaskan Essences!! 💯💥💫💫💫
Alaska is beautiful!!!glad yous had a nice weekend with friends!!!!..and enjoyed Superbowl...sorry you had some unfortunate luck with your drywall, but hopefully can be used in a different area..the homestead is looking so beautiful!!
This is Skeeter, I had to re- subscribe again. I was wondering why I didn't see you guys. Darn it all, but I've got you again. Love watching your fun and the progress on your homestead. God Bless
OMG, how splendid are your Alaskan sunsets!?! Ever more thankful, because of your videos, that I am able to enjoy them from the warmth and comfort of my home in Southeast Missouri 😅 Also, I mean, praise that you are not one day older than what you are 😂...it's only going to get harder 😅
Hi Robert here love your vlogs have been watching a long time never message. You have a lovely place your building. I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 Sydney my lovely wife and I are cruising in New Zealand right night but it was great to catch your vlog today
Always so many things I could or ask questions about on your videos but I try to keep ‘em simple and straight forward. lol. So here’s my comment and it’s directed at both of you : I so really can appreciate how sweet you are Ryan when it comes to asking Von for help !! Von , you’re kick ass at your willingness to do whatever and you CAN do whatever it is that needs doin !! My wife Kim is always game to help and I appreciate that ! I always explain in detail what I need her to do and ultimately it’s always flying by the seat of our pants and the direction might not always be in the sweetest tone mid whatever it is ( from me mostly admittedly) but we get it done ! So thankful that she puts up up my ass and is ALWAYS game to help ! Take care guys . As always much love from Maine
😂😂 Thank you for the comment. Don’t get me wrong I try very hard to be respectful and kind with Von, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know exactly how you feel. More times than I’d like to admit, the situation goes off the rails , I get a little excitable and start barking orders. That’s right about when Von gives me an attitude check.😁
Great video Ryan. I do have one question. Why did y'all do 12ft ceilings. That's a lot of space to vent . I know you will get all that plumbing done and it will be great good luck to you guys love you both.
Von wanted the high ceiling and it gives the perception of a much bigger space. We spend a lot of time indoors during the long winters and it’s nice to have an open space.
Good morning! Love the video footage and music of your area and homestead. ❤ That's a lot of stress and frustration going on for the bathroom. I think I'd be mumbling, grumbling and swearing under my breath on that one. 😅 It's going to be nice when you're done though. A big hello to your friends. That was nice that you were able to get away and spend so time together. Thanks again for another great video! Enjoy the rest of your day and upcoming weekend. 😊 🏕 🙏 ❤
I have a question, is there anything in Tok as in gas station, restaurant, city center or is it just a spot on the road? Just interested because I looked on Google maps and you are out there. Never mind my question, I zoomed in on my map and there is something of a town. I did see what looked like a big car junkyard. I also saw other things like gas and a place called the Golden Bear, maybe a bar/ restaurant. I was gonna visit from Florida but it’s just a little too far. Just kidding !
Yep, it’s considered a community because there is no organized government or city leadership. We have 4 gas stations, 1 restaurant, hardware store and convenience store/sporting goods. Tok has about 1500 people spread out in the area.
I love watching any video with home remodeling or repair or whatever you call it💜 but I have a question. Why did some of the sheet rock have gaps between them? Or was it just the angle of the camera? I wasn't interested in watching the super bowl because none of my teams were in it. Glad you had fun with your friends 💜
Bathroom is coming along and is looking great! Looking forward to the next video!! I was curious if you still had that friends daughter living with you. Haven't seen her in a video in quite some time.
It is fun hanging out with you two.!!!! Love your home. Your ideas and taste are so great. Have a renovation coming soon and you've given me so many new ideas. Thank you!!!!
Roof is insulated but that side has a different truss design and needs more insulation. We plan to blow in another 30R value of insulation in the roof.
It makes you feel so good when you get something done. One thing at a time. It's looking so good. Can't wait to follow the plumbing one. I know when I do re-do's on my house it's a bet to see how many times I have to go to the hardware store. At least I don't have to go far. Love from Western, N.Y.
wow, you must be good loyal friends to go on what is a three-state trip for most of the viewers just to celebrate the Superbowl. I enjoy seeing the teamwork between you two.
Great work. When you did the drone fly over of your house, I noticed that there was no snow on half of the house where there is heat, but there was snow on eves portion, are you losing heat in that area of the roof?
That side of the house is a scissor truss design while the other side is an open truss design with attic space. We have not completed our insulation in the attic space and still need another 30-40R value of spray in foam to complete. This added foam will seal up any leaks we currently have.
I’m retired Coast Guard and Von worked in the accounting field for the state of Alaska in the oil and gas industry. Yes, the wood stove heats the entire house and does an amazing job.
how far behind us are you well ahead i think the batthroom is finished am i right ? maybe not most you tubers are well ahead of what they show us good job that is hard to do have done it all by my self no windy thing to help me
We would love to ahead with our videos but that’s not the case. I was working and Von was editing on Thursday and the it was posted for you guys Friday morning. Our videos are as current as you can be. Thanks for watching.
Von, I see you slaving away, moving (by yourself) all those boxes, and helping lift big heavy pieces of sheetrock. Ryan is a fortunate man to have you there to make sure he doesn't...! Good job glad to see the progress.
Love to watch the Ryan & Vonn team at work. You have created a beautiful semi retirement early enough in life that you'll really get to enjoy all those years yet ahead. How proud you must be carving out your oasis in Tok. I sure have enjoyed watching your hard work the last few years. What a great example of teamwork, love , and trust you show in all the videos. Until your next posting...be warm, safe and happy! Take care!
I really look forward to Fridays now to see what comes next on your channel. Your house build is really coming along and is looking fantastic. That opening drone shot moving down the roadway into the view of your home is absolutely spectacular! I can't get over how beautiful the skylights are. I know I shouldn't feel jealous, but every time I see the outdoor shots of the area around your home I just can't get over how beautiful the scenery is and how fortunate you are to be able to take it in every day. Thanks again for all your hard work putting these videos out and for allowing us to follow your progress. God bless!
Wow! Thank you for this kind comment. We so happy to be able to share a small portion of the beauty we see every day and thankful for people like you who take your valuable time to watch what we have going on. Thank you😊
I absolutely adore how you two are always saying “I love you” and “thank-you” and “you’re welcome”! So necessary and special in a relationship! You inspire me!
That’s awesome to hear. We try to be courteous to each other because it’s stressful enough building a house together.😊
I love the flying introduction. Alaska is beautiful.
Seeing the blue water of the Kenai River you know you’re getting close to Soldotna. Alway saw eagles on the river in winter. Beautiful drive and beautiful places! Thank you for sharing. Great cinematography as usual. It’s like being there staring out the window. Just fantastic! House is coming along!
It is a beautiful drive. We love the area along the upper Kenai river around Cooper Landing.
What a beautiful sunrise!🌹
Yes it was! They’ve been amazing this month.
I just want to commend Ryan for the ingenuity of using the couch as a sawhorse. Genius
Very nice opening. Beautiful scenery and like the song. What song is it? Nice job in tight working conditions!
Thank you! 🙏 It’s “I’ll Do It All Over Again” by Mindme ❤️
I really enjoy watching y'all build your place. Thanks for all.the beautiful scenery.

Looking good guys . Nice to see your getting your dry walling done very nice
Woohoo, great job guys 🇨🇦🌷 ps….I hated working with drywall. HATE IT 😜

It’s all coming together !! We start our move to Alaska in April! Delta Junction here we come!
Looks like it may be an early spring and a great time to move. Good luck soon to be neighbors.😁
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska we can’t wait ! I’m so excited
What wonderful colors in the sunrise. Ryan, good job on the bathroom.
Step by step things are getting checked off the list!! Can't wait to see the bathroom done 😊
I love your channel. You guys are a lucky couple living the dream!!
I probably cut them boards in half. not to sure if you can. just saying to make it easier on your self.
Loved the opening and closing shots. Great progress on the bathroom!
As always you 2 are awesome.
Love your channel, Hello from from the hoosier national forest..

In this episode: "Ryan proves that Gravity works". Ouchie ! 5/8th Green Board is hard to handle and expensive. Bathroom is coming along nicely.
Thank you Bear! Took a minute, but once we got going, smooth sailing ⛵️ 😂
Your intro today was amazing. Thank you for sharing. The bathroom is shaping up. Lots of progress. Take care. Have a great weekend🇺🇸❤️
Thank you so much! 😊
This is Skeeter, I had to re- subscribe again. I was wondering why I didn't see you guys. Darn it all, but I've got you again.
Love watching your fun and the progress on your homestead. God Bless
Oh, man! Glad you made it back. We’ve been hearing this more and more that people are getting auto unsubscribed.
Hard working people 🎉
OMG, how splendid are your Alaskan sunsets!?! Ever more thankful, because of your videos, that I am able to enjoy them from the warmth and comfort of my home in Southeast Missouri 😅
Also, I mean, praise that you are not one day older than what you are 😂...it's only going to get harder 😅
Glad you like them!😊
45 seconds into the video… Your place is absolutely amazing!!❤
Thank you😊
maybe too much clothes , lol 😂
Hi Robert here love your vlogs have been watching a long time never message. You have a lovely place your building. I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 Sydney my lovely wife and I are cruising in New Zealand right night but it was great to catch your vlog today
Thank you 😊 have a wonderful trip.
Always so many things I could or ask questions about on your videos but I try to keep ‘em simple and straight forward. lol. So here’s my comment and it’s directed at both of you : I so really can appreciate how sweet you are Ryan when it comes to asking Von for help !! Von , you’re kick ass at your willingness to do whatever and you CAN do whatever it is that needs doin !! My wife Kim is always game to help and I appreciate that ! I always explain in detail what I need her to do and ultimately it’s always flying by the seat of our pants and the direction might not always be in the sweetest tone mid whatever it is ( from me mostly admittedly) but we get it done ! So thankful that she puts up up my ass and is ALWAYS game to help ! Take care guys . As always much love from Maine
😂😂 Thank you for the comment. Don’t get me wrong I try very hard to be respectful and kind with Von, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know exactly how you feel. More times than I’d like to admit, the situation goes off the rails , I get a little excitable and start barking orders. That’s right about when Von gives me an attitude check.😁

Von wanted the high ceiling and it gives the perception of a much bigger space. We spend a lot of time indoors during the long winters and it’s nice to have an open space.
Great job this week. 😊
Good job, guys! Teamwork is dreamwork!
We also watched the game on the Kenai 😊
That's awesome!

When installing sheetrock, it does not need to be perfect. Mud and tape will clean up any seams.
Loved this video and watching yall build s house in the most awesome place in the world.
Have a great weekend. God bless❤😊
Thank you
Bathroom is coming along and is looking great! Looking forward to the next video!! I was curious if you still had that friends daughter living with you. Haven't seen her in a video in quite some time.
No, Lenna has moved back in with her dad.
you got a lot accomplished this week, it was also nice to see you take some down time so you do not Bern out see you next week
It is fun hanging out with you two.!!!! Love your home. Your ideas and taste are so great. Have a renovation coming soon and you've given me so many new ideas. Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Nice video, thanks for sharing and congrats on the progress. Ron PTL USA
Thank you Ron😊
The most amazing videos y’all work, so hard amazing
Thank you so much!
That is beautiful morning views. The country side is so beautiful. . One side of your roof is clear of snow. Do you not have insulation in the roof?
Roof is insulated but that side has a different truss design and needs more insulation. We plan to blow in another 30R value of insulation in the roof.
It makes you feel so good when you get something done. One thing at a time. It's looking so good. Can't wait to follow the plumbing one. I know when I do re-do's on my house it's a bet to see how many times I have to go to the hardware store. At least I don't have to go far. Love from Western, N.Y.
So true!😁
That opening scene was so beautiful! I would like to try and paint it on canvas. Thank you for sharing
Oh wow, that would be pretty 🤩
wow, you must be good loyal friends to go on what is a three-state trip for most of the viewers just to celebrate the Superbowl.
I enjoy seeing the teamwork between you two.
We feel like driving long distance is just part of living in the big state of Alaska.😁😊
Von has that ladder climbing thing down. Looking good guys.
Thanks Terry!
Great progress and looking good. You both will be glad to not have to move items around multiple times!
That’s the goal. It’ll be nice to finally have things settled.😊
You have such beautiful Hollywood smiles❤.
Thank you! 😊
You two are doing an awesome job! Btw, I love the sky, it is so beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😊
I have had days like when you broke those two sheets. Hard to get back on track sometimes. Glad to see you stick through it and get it done.
It was a frustrating task working in a small space with that sheetrock but we got it done.😊
Beautiful house. You guys have done a wonderful job! I can’t wait to see the finished product! ❤
Thank you so much!😊
I loved the purple skies! You two are such a team. It's great to see things coming together for you folks
Thanks so much!😊
Great job guys
Good morning, Von and Ryan. It's good to see Master bath getting much needed attention!
It’s definitely time.
Great work. When you did the drone fly over of your house, I noticed that there was no snow on half of the house where there is heat, but there was snow on eves portion, are you losing heat in that area of the roof?

Thanks for taking all on this journey and you two are awesome
Thank you for watching! We really appreciate it and your positive feedback ❤️
So beautiful!!
Ryan and Vonn what were your jobs before you decided to do this adventure? Also does he wood stove heat the whole house?
I’m retired Coast Guard and Von worked in the accounting field for the state of Alaska in the oil and gas industry. Yes, the wood stove heats the entire house and does an amazing job.
Great video.
I don't think I've ever seen Von without a hat. Nice! 😊
You should see her collection.😁 She loves a good hat.
Your videos are up lifting and fun great job
Glad you like them!😊
how far behind us are you well ahead i think the batthroom is finished am i right ? maybe not most you tubers are well ahead of what they show us good job that is hard to do have done it all by my self no windy thing to help me
We would love to ahead with our videos but that’s not the case. I was working and Von was editing on Thursday and the it was posted for you guys Friday morning. Our videos are as current as you can be. Thanks for watching.
Why not consider a window in that en-suite?
I’m not a fan of windows in bathrooms.
Just wondering why you made your ceilings so tall in the bathroom ?love what you all are doing , thanks for sharing😊
Von wanted vaulted ceilings in all of the rooms and it made framing simple.
Thanks for replying and we really enjoy watching.
👍🇳🇴🇳🇴👌🥇🥇
I love hanging out with you guys. You both have the most beautiful smiles, and the scenery is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the finished bathroom!
👍
👍♥️
Hello you guys 👋
Glad you had a great time with friends and great work on the bathroom.
Bathroom is coming along. I love having a master bathroom
Von, I see you slaving away, moving (by yourself) all those boxes, and helping lift big heavy pieces of sheetrock. Ryan is a fortunate man to have you there to make sure he doesn't...! Good job glad to see the progress.
Thanks Steven, all that lifting is giving me some nice guns… lol!💪💪💪😉😂
