Sell the airstream and use the funds to tear down and rebuild a new cabin from the place in Palmer!
Thanks so much for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us 😊! Definitely something to consider 😊!
My early 60's Airstream had solid wood curving walls, 3 burner stove top, & sink. Try moving some of the white walls. You may have wood everywhere like mine does. I hope!! I can't tell if it's you or your dad talking. You sound exactly alike. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and E Minister 🙏🏻 ❤❤❤❤
God Bless Dads!!!❤❤❤
Sorry, brando. NEVER SELL THE AIRSTREAM!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Blessings your dad gave you years of experience and knowledge advice which is prices and your wifey must be happy to have the help as well. God bless you and your new baby. Thank you for the video. I look forward to seeing everyone.
Your baby girl is beautiful and your mom's soup looks delicious. May you always have your family and loved ones around you in good health.
Thanks so much for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks so much for the kind words 🥰! The soup was delicious and wish we could share it 😊! Very blessed to have help with the littles right now 😊!
That cabin is the coolest thing I've ever seen, you have to save it! It'll be a lot of work but think of the end result, and the way it's laid out now it could easily be a two family cabin or a cabin with a separate area for guests- two bathrooms are a huge advantage when you have company. I absolutely love it!
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestions and kind words 😊! Yes, two bathrooms are a great idea 😊! So glad you enjoyed the video and love the cabin 🥰! Thanks for your support ❤️!
Blake Lee looks like her daddy for sure. She's so sweet. Your parents are so great. Love your sweet family.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Yes, she does! Thanks so much for the kind words and support 😊! Yes , very blessed to have them here and helping 😊!
Im glad your dad said to take it down to the studs. Hopefully you will get a better look at the ground underneath to see if it is perpetually wet. You are very blessed to have your parents. I'm 60 & my mom passed suddenly when i was 17 & then my dad passed suddenly 10 years later. Keep warm! 👋😊☕️🙏✌️🇱🇷
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Sorry to hear about your parents passing at such a young age. Thanks for sharing with us 😊. Yes, very blessed to have them here from Texas and to have some help while we can ❤️! Thankful for his advice and can't wait to get started on the cabin this Spring/Summer 😊!
❤ we enjoy watching your videos
Thanks so much for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! So glad you are enjoying our videos and thanks for your continued support 🥰!
That's so nice that your parents are there to help you out with adjusting to baby #2! Mom and baby looked great, and that chicken broth looked delicious! I hope you and your family have a blessed week!
Thanks so much for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks so much for the kind words about Mama and baby 🥰! Very blessed to have them here and helping out 🥰! Plus, Harrison is enjoying it! It was delicious and wish we could share it with you guys 😊! Thanks so much and same to you ❤️!
Never sell the Airstream!!!!❤❤❤
Air stream worth more than cabin ! Big bucks in the old air stream . Cheaper to build a new cabin. Good luck on your property. God Bless
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us 😊! Appreciate the best wishes and prayers 🥰! Thanks and same to you 😊!
My husband viewed a cabin when we moved from one province to another. He said it looked dusty- it was moldy!
Chicken coup board is greatly affected by moisture, and mold. If you find a good buyer for the antique pieces of furniture, you may have enough money to build a new cabin. Look out for coal, when it burns, it leaves gold nuggets behind… for real!
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for sharing 😊! Yes, if we sell the furniture, it would be great to put towards the ye cabin, as well as find gold 🥰!
Gorgeous baby. You look great. Blake’s parents being there must be very helpful for you.
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Thanks so much for the kind words about Mama and Blakely 🥰! It is nice having extra help while we settle in as a family of 4 🥰!
You could fix it up to go camping with your family with exactly what you want to have in it. Or use it as a tool shed. It’s a trailer- think about what you can afford to do and what your needs are- go from there!
Congratulations! Blakley is beautiful. Mama you look beautiful too. How nice Is family.❤ Chicken & 20:42 dumplings was a staple growing up in our household. Fresh chickens too. We’ve forgotten the art of processing our own meats and there’s just no comparison. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for the kind words about Blakely and Mama 😊! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊! Thanks for sharing about the chicken and dumplings. Totally agree and there is a huge difference 😊!
Love all your videos and family. You look like your dad. Dad gave you a few ideas about the building. It is all up to you and Jillian. Blakely is very cute and Harrison is growing. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Thanks so much for the kind words and being a part of our family 🥰! Yes, definitely look a little like Dad and appreciate his deas 😊. Jillian and I can't wait to get started this Spring and Summer on the cabin 😊! Yes, Harrison is definitely growing, especially when compared to a new born. Love and blessings to you as well ❤️!

Glad your parents are there to help out. Hoping all is well with the little one. Good luck with the cabin. Lots to think about. You all take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure from Michigan ❤️! Thanks so much for the kind words about the littles and Mama 🥰! So glad you enjoy watching and being a part of our family 🥰! Same to you 😊!
Loved the video with your mom and dad! Chicken and dumplings looked delicious. Jillian looks fantastic w/ everything she went through and Blakely is beautiful and Harrison as usual is precious! Blake in my opinion I’d wait a little while till it warms up and I’m sure you and your dad will talk about it now and this will give you time to make a decision that will feel good to you and Jillian. You certainly have a few different ideas to go with. Easy for people to say tear it totally down and start over but with the cost of everything right now it’s a hard decision. The air stream if it could be fixed up without putting a ton of money into it would be nice to use to take off and camp different areas with the children and make some great memories. In time it’s all going to come together. It’s absolutely beautiful out there I love the property and that was your ultimate reason for buying for buying there! Many blessings to your family of 4 now! 💙🩷
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! So glad you loved the video 😊! We are so thankful to have them here helping us for a little while. Thanks for the kind words about Jillian, Blakely, and Harrison 🥰! Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us. That's a good idea about the airstream. It would be fun taking the littles camping in it 😊! We have lots to think about and factor in, especially price, but yes we will feel good about our decision 😊. So glad you love the property, too, and same to you ❤️!
Hey guys, great to see the family all looking well. As you were talking about with your dad, tear down the cabin and start again. Even if some could be saved, too much chance for mould etc and just not worth taking the risk with family health. Really looking forward to seeing what you do decide. Stay safe all 🙂
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for your kind words and sharing your suggestions with us 😊! So glad you are looking forward to what we do 😊! We can't wait for Spring/Summer to arrive so we can get started! Thanks and you , too 😊!
I'm inspired to head in the kitchen and make some chicken and dumplings. That looked so good!
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! The chicken and dumplings were so good 😊? If you would like to give it a try, the recipe is in the description 😊!
Love that your parents are here ,love chicken and dumplings
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Yes, so blessed they are here to help and cook chicken and dumplings 🥰!
❤Dad said he didn't want to meets the ground rapidly😊
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Ha ha, yes he did 😂! Thanks for your support 🥰!
yes chicken you brown and green and blue eggs it just the way it is and they are all good
Yes, all the eggs taste great 😊!
My advice as a 50 years experience construction professional: salvage what you can from the cabin, then demo it. I doubt much will be salvageable, but keep and re-use or sell what you can. As to the Airstream, it's probably the most valuable object on the property, outside of the value of the underlying land itself. Despite it's poor condition, vintage Airstreams are much sought after collector's items and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of collectors out there who would gladly pay you good money to take it off your hands so they could lovingly restore it or customize it. I have been following your channel since your first visit to the property and I read the comments as well, so I know you have been advised on this matter for months now, I'm just adding my voice to the chorus. You showed us the Airstream medallion installed by the manufacturer on the trailer in one of your earliest videos (if not the first for this new property) and many folks, including myself, have already looked it up and many have posted here in the comments information they found in a quick and casual search. My advice, whether asked for or not, is to spend an hour or so of time researching this minor goldmine and learn for yourself it's value. You might also try searching for online Airstream owners/fan groups. I know you are a busy man with a growing family and a new baby girl (congrats, BTW!) and that how you spend your time is something you must prioritize, but please, don't ignore the Airstream. And, FWIW, I am not a big fan of Airstreams, but because I *AM* interested in all things RV related, I have a pretty good idea of what your Airstream can be worth, if you do the research to find out more about it and then market it to the right demographic.
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Thanks so much for sharing your suggestions with us 😊! We appreciate your support and following our channel, as well as adding your comments 😊. Thanks for the kind words about our baby girl and we can't wait for Spring/Summer to arrive so we can get started 😊. Lots to think about and research, especially on the airstream.
Great to have father and sontime and also get look at the cabin
Yes, so nice to have that time together and look at the cabin 😊! Thanks for all of your support 🥰!
That chicken and dumpling soup looked amazing! One of my favorites as well!! I agree with your Dad, rip it down to the studs and then reassess the plan. Spring is coming, so you can probably get in there soon.
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! The chicken and dumplings were so good and if you would like to give them a try, the recipe is in the description 😊! Yes, good dad advice. We are so ready for Spring/Summer so we can get started...stay tuned 😊!
The green colored egg is from a Arcana hen. Their eggs can be beige to green in color.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for sharing with us about the eggs 😊!
Congratulations on your little girl 🎉🎉🎉. God bless you all
Thanks so much for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for the kind words and same to you and your family 🥰!
It's nice that your family came to stay with you and the chicken and dumplings look so good 👍😊
Thanks so much for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Yes, we are very blessed to have them here and helping 😊. It was so good and wish we could share it with you guys 🥰!
Pretty sure I would level that building probably save you some money in long run. Good to see you have the resources to give you advice dad's are always good for that. The Airstream there are places that will strip and repair them fix the rivets and they go for a lot of money
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us 😊! Yes, Dad's are good for advice!
That super harsh environment is particularly hard on structures. It is especially true when places are built outside of building codes. People tend to build a half assed structure unless forced to do it right. And that's not unique ri Alaska. I know of a guy in Indiana doing a renovation that smacks of someone who knows just enough ro build it stupid. Your dad is a great resource for you.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 😊! That is so true and yes so glad to have him as a resource 😊.
Hi glad all is going well great that your mom and dad are with you takecare stay warm love the look of the chicken dumplings ❄️☃️
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Yes, so blessed to have family here and helping 😊! The chicken and dumpling recipe is posted in the description if we want to give it a try 😊!
You might be able to turn that RV into a sauna/spa room.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us 😊! That would be pretty cool 😊!
Here's an idea on what you can do with that airstream yes renovate it to look like new but with the floors put in a hatch so you can use it as a place to keep warm while ice fishing, I've seen other vlogs (none from Alaska) of people doing that with trailers
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! That's a pretty cool idea and suggestion 😊! Thanks so much for sharing 😊! Definitely something to consider!
Glad to see everyone is doing well! Can I please get the recipe?
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for the kind words 😊! Yes, the recipe is posted in the description 😊! Enjoy 😍!
Goodness your dad made me so nervous when he was standing in that room. I dont trust that ceiling at all.
I will break the whole thing down and rebuild there is ALOT of problems that cant be fixed easy. I like your dad he knows what he is talking about. Haha at one point his face looked like what the hell did my son buy😂😂. Love the property.
O my goodness your mother soup looks amazing will try it in winter time still along time before winter with us its HOT HOT HOT today was around 40C never get use to this heat. Im from South Africa
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure all the way from South Africa 😊! Thanks for your suggestions on the property 😊! Ha ha he was careful and his face did look like that 🤣! The soup was delicious! I posted the recipe in the description if you would like to give it a try 😊! Wow, that is hot! We are originally from Texas, so can relate to the heat! Stay hydrated 😊!
@@GoodLivingAlaska its my pleasure. I love your vlog its fun and your family is really amazing your very blessed to have parents like your mom and dad. Can't wait to see what you do with the property.

Thank you so much for taking time to reply I do appreciate it alot.

I’ve never bought land or buildings but would tear the home down and start over.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Thanks for your suggestion 😊!
Getting close to crunch time! How much can we accomplish during "Summer" in Alaska? lol Good luck!
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure 😊! Yes, getting ready and excited to get started this Spring and Summer 😊!
Like I said take what It is good, then take it down and burn it up but I would start again and build new so you know how it was made and you know it would be safe
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Thanks for your suggestions 😊! We will be getting started on the cabin this Spring/Summer 😊.

How about fixing up the airstream, staying in it while you consider options for the house.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us 😊! Definitely an option or maybe fixing it up and renting it out while we work on the house 😊.
Sell the airstream and use the funds to rebuild the cabin
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us 😊! That's definitely something to consider!
Tear it down and build new to code.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us 😊!
I know you want try save money but safety of your family I’d tear it all down I get the gut feeling it a safety hazard a lot bodge jobs there
Thanks for watching and joining us on another adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us 😊! That looks like the direction we are heading, especially for safety 😊!
Salvage what u can then burn the rest in the winter.
Salvage what you can and start afresh not worth all the extra work to rectify..
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for your suggestions 😊!
Knock it down
And rebuild its ugly
Thanks for watching and joining us on our adventure ❤️! Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us 😊!
