You are so absolutely lucky with these wonderful contractors. Because I live rural in Oregon and we have a hell of a time getting guys to come out and work for us even when we’re totally loyal and pay what they want and everything it is so difficult for everyone not just me ,this summer has been a bear. So you were just so lucky that these guys care about you and want to help you and I believe that they do care about you and want you to make it is not just money for them. They are made of gold!
I have heard many terrible stories of bad contractors taking money or doing crappy work. Or even just doing 1/2 the work! That would have been the death of my cabin as it had to get that new roof before winter! I took a HUGE chance with my contractor but he always kept in contact and showed up! My contractor explained that he gets 90% of his work from word of mouth and reputation is everything. But yeah, he and all of the people he brought on treated my cabin as if it was their own cabin. No short cuts. Extra special attention to details. And you will definitely be seeing them again! Thank you so much Violet!
The kitchen is brighter and so much easier to cook in now. Someday, I will replace the remaining 6 windows with the same casement window. Thank you so much Erica!
I can't believe there was never a window there in the first place! Of all places to have great lighting, you'd want that to be in the kitchen. This window is a game changer for me! And it's nice to see my front yard from inside the cabin! Thank you so much Bev!
Those magic moves on the ladders got me! Those two guys were totally in sync! I'm glad you put the window in you really wanted. The cabin let's you know what it needs and you listened. No to stock windows. Years of enjoyment.
Yeah those guys are like circus performers up high! LOL! I would be frozen about half way up and they would have to get a fire truck with an extending ladder to get me down! 🤣 The window is so awesome! I really cant believe how much brighter my kitchen is now. The problem with this window is now I want all the windows changed out! LOL! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
That one window has transformed my kitchen! I mean I have so much to get done in there but having the natural light! The one window just wasn't cutting it! Now with two, its amazing! And yeah it really is nice to be able to enjoy the views of my front yard now! First couple of days I thought I had left the front door open! Thank you so much
Good Morning, your new window is just perfect! I grew up with this type of window too and love them. Such a perfect place for your table too!.. Love that you can sit out and listen to the water.. Talk about ambiance! Whew!.. Thank you for sharing.. Love to you
I always talk about the solitude here and how quiet it is. But there are always the sounds of nature that keep everything sounding nice. Not interested in 100% complete silence like a sound proof room! But hearing the birds, hearing the wind and of course actually hearing a distant river is amazing! The window addition is amazing! Like there should have been a window there all along! Seeing my front yard now is actually really nice! Who doesn't like to work in a kitchen with a view! Thank you so much Connie!
Hey Amanda! Rotel has so many uses! So good with Mexican or TexMex food! Believe it or not, I have never made the Rotel cheese dip though I know, I'm weird! Thank you so much Amanda!
The window is a game changer! My kitchen is brightened up and easier to cook in! Well at least during the day! Pork chops were delicious! Thank you so much Leilani!
Your window is fantastic, please do more cooking videos, they are delicious and fun, and on a side note, your hair looks so cute braided like that, I love it. ♥️♥️
Oh I do plan on doing more cooking videos! And I try to cook things others on TH-cam are not. Or at least not in the homesteading world. Simple to make on a burner or wood stove type stuff! I rarely wear my hair this style. So glad you liked it! Thank you so much Jennifer!
We will give this recipe a try! I made your ice cream with the pecans for my wife. It was wonderful, now she thinks I should start cooking more! Lol. Thanks for adding these to your videos.
Awesome you made the ice cream! I have always thought it was so cool when my kids would make things I used to make for them or when they call me asking about how to recreate something I used to make. I wasn't 100% sure about cooking on my videos but I can tell you I do love to hear when other people try my recipes! I will keep adding recipes to my videos. I mean if your wife wants you to cook more, I better get cracking! LOL! Thank you so much Steve! 🧡🤗💚
One project at a time and before you know it, it will be perfect! It will take a few years but that's ok. It will be worth the wait! Thank you so much Sandy!
Now I need to change out all the windows! It's possible the cherry glaze would be great on those Taquitos you keep in the freezer! Thank you so much Brian!
Ahhh thank you kindly Peter! Maybe I am just the rare introvert that shares her life to the world of TH-cam! Cabin has come a long way and has a lot more to go! Thank you so much Peter!
Be SURE! you use the right finish on your window casing because in the winter it will tend to ice up in very cold weather and when melt occurs it will run down on the casing. A fan directed at it will help keep it clear. You are cooking near the window which doesn't help. Go to "Northern Tool & Equipment", enter "rv water pump". There is a video of the $89 pump.. Hook it up to 12 volts and add a couple hoses and you can have running water from a storage container to a simple camper sink etc. Also transfer water between containers. Saves lifting & pouring. I used the blue 30 gal bbls. for storage. I used something similar to Cabela's deluxe camp sink that was stainless steel with a simple faucet.
A lot of fantastic advice here George! I understand all my windows will require some TLC during the winter and I plan on swapping out all the windows to this same casement style eventually. I have 4 55 gallon plastic (open top) barrels coming to me from Colorado when my son brings up all my stuff. Water transfer will be a concern for sure! The Cabela's camp sink is something I have eye balled a few times. More for my outdoor kitchen maybe. I like it! Thank you so much for the awesome PRO TIPS George!
Exactly! It is always nice to not have to worry about lunch the next day! Well I did because I ate the other pork chop for breakfast! Thank you so much Sandi!
Love your piquresque opening...and the quietness...what beauty and peace you live in...so healing and rejuvenating for the soul. AND YES - you chose correctly on your beautiful window, which will now give you years of pleasure, which you would have forfeited if you let yourself become impatient and opted for something quicker. Good for you! I must tell you, the stars are with you in finding that fantastic contractor. I think the folks who choose to live and work in Alaska are of a high caliber in integrity and workmanship. Their word is their word. 🙂 Loved that yummy looking dinner, even though I'm plant based. It looked absolutely scrumptious! Thanks again for taking us along and sharing your life with us, it's always refreshing and interesting. ❤
The best part of this property is the solitude! Sitting outside and hearing nothing but mother nature is the way to live! Sometimes even the birds get a bit carried away but that also means no predators around. My contractor is awesome! I had only contacted him because I was casting a wide net and emailing every contractor I could find. He was the ONLY one to contact me back! How lucky was that! And honestly I don't think my contractor would have allowed Home Depot windows because he is making sure the cabin stays safe and rustic! He literally would have told me to have someone else install them if I had decided that way! And that's what makes him good! The pork chops where incredible! I had done a vegetarian dish awhile back but the footage was all bad! I will do it again soon. Thank you for joining my journey here! We have some interesting times coming up! Thank you so much
It was pretty good but not as yummy looking as the Mayo chuck roast you made! Did you cook that thing for like 15 hours? I was sleepy when I watched it sorry! I am loving this window! It was certainly worth the wait! Thank you so much Scotty!
I am glad you didnt go for the window with the plastic trim, it would have looked all wrong bringing plastic into t natural log home. The casement looks just right and I would have waited for what I wanted as well. Dish looks good too.
To be honest, I think my contractor would have refused to install Vinyl windows because it would have looked so wrong. He does like keeping the cabin looking like a cabin! The window was well worth the wait and I will eventually swap out the remaining 6 windows with the same casement window. Two windows need to be raised a bit too. Kenai and I enjoyed the pork chops! Thank you so much
I get so excited when I see a new video pop up. The cabin is coming along nicely. What a wonderful choice in the new window. Can't wait to see what happens when your son brings your stuff from the lower states.
The window is awesome! I love it! Now to get the other 6 replaced! LOL All arrangements have been made for my son to get here! Uhaul and ferry ticket is booked! I will be nervous the entire time he is driving here but he is a very resourceful kid! Kenai is going to lose his mind when he see's my son again after so long! I will have to get that on video! Thank you so much Denise!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska oh I definitely want to see Keni losing his mind when he sees your Son. They have a way of knowing when they have traveled with us several miles and then to be reunited with someone they know from previous homes after going to a place they know it's so far away with different smells, meeting so many people that they don't know, it really does trip them out.
The new window is SO awesome! I want to swap out the other 6 now! And I will! And you cant go wrong with the cherries on pork chops! SO YUMMY!! Thank you so much Marian! 🧡🤗💚
And hopefully soon, all the windows will match and be adjusted in the height! Two windows are still too low. But they sure help enjoy the scenery and wildlife from the safety inside. Unique is a perfect description of Alaska! Thank you so much Fabricio!
Ha ! I have not made the ice cream yet but I bet it is wonderful . Yes I was reading comments . The meal looks wonderful . I love your casement window and you were right to wait . Good luck 🍀 getting your wood stove repaired . I have a Woodstock Woodstove which is Soapstone and holds heat amazingly . Beautiful views !
A soapstone wood stove is awesome! I have researched these a bit and they do manage to heat longer. I will be able to repair my wood stove soon as someone was nice enough to purchase the woodstove repair cement from my Amazon wish list. Should be able to keep it repaired long enough to get that Elmira cook stove. The ice cream and the pork chops are amazing! Just don't make pork chop ice cream ok!! Thank you so much Toni!
SO true! I was looking forward to the window and when my contractor said I would have to wait even longer, I was sad but just happy it would be getting done this year! I love it! Thank you so much Sarah!
Hello Alone, thank you for your recent response. It is always a pleasure to hear from you here in the UK. Your world is so completely opposite from mine, which is what I love so much about it. I think there is always a degree of escapism in most of us, but you have achieved the ultimate and am loving that you are sharing this with us 👍. I think it's going to be fun for all of us to 'meet' your son and will be interesting to see your sightseeing trips together, which you hopefully will be sharing. I loved your opening peaceful scene this week with the river. It is amazing how far sound does travel. How far do you need to walk from your cabin to see the view of the river? The window addition is fantastic, giving another dimension to your home. The view is beautiful and peaceful and brings the outside in to your living area. I see you have a table under, so somewhere nice to sit and look out now, when you having your meals or a coffee or just feeling reflective. I had a thought, when i was watching the overhang support being installed. Would you want something to hang from there? Something decorative that could hang as a permanent fixture? Just a thought. When you have contractors visit to do work for you, do they ever comment on your choice to live out there alone? Or are they used to meeting people living as you do? Are there many women living alone do you think? I imagine you might be the only one in Alaska 😊. Even though I don't eat Pork chops, your recipe looked extremely tasty with the cherries. I think they compliment each other well...recipe additions are fun. Thank you for this update Alone, keep safe and look forward to your next installment 😍
It is always my pleasure to bring you along for my journey here! Once my son gets here, we will have to unload the Uhaul and I have a couple projects for him but we will definitely be doing some sightseeing and bringing you along! The river we were listening to in the beginning is about 2-3 miles away (I think) but it is through some rough untrailed country. Everything past my backyard is National Park or Wildlife Reserve so I can't make a trail but a path will be wiggled through somehow. I have not given any thought to hanging anything in the front except maybe the American Flag. Every person that has worked on my property so far loves this property. they just wonder how I was able to find it. And yeah they are shocked it's just me and Kenai! I think there are a few other women who live out here alone because they have commented. I just may be the only one with a TH-cam channel. To be honest, I am not a pork chop kind of gal either but when I do make them, I like them to be tasty! Fruit always helps! This recipe is amazing! Thank you so much!
I would not have canceled my casement window because it was late. I would have waited, until the cows came home, for that window! My home, when I was growing up, had casement windows. I love them so much! You are doing everything you can to ensure that you and Kenai have your dream cabin!
I have casement windows throughout my home and I love them! The screens are mounted inside so they don’t get so dirty. If that cabin stood through many winter snows as it was built, the changes you’ve made can only add to its stability. Btw, Julia Child said a tiny bit of pink in pork is perfectly okay. Folks who don’t care for pork chops probably ate over cooked tough chops. Will try your recipe!
Casement windows just make sense for me. They are beautiful and safer in case I ever need to use one! (fire) The cabin is very sturdy and now that it has a new roof, it will out live me easily! Oh NOW Julia Childs says its ok after I spent years perfecting the pork chop cooking! LOL! And yeah I think most people hate pork chops because they were cooked to the texture of leather! And they taste so awesome when cooked correctly! Thank you so much Deb!
I love the window! It was so worth waiting for! I want to change all my windows now! Just going to have to wait. This window wasn't cheap! Thank you so much Eric!
I could never understand why there wasn't a window there before. It was rather annoying to not be able to see my front yard unless I went into the "useless" bathroom. Or ran upstairs. Now I can see the wildlife and the weather and of course anyone coming up my driveway! Pork chops were delicious! Kenai approved! Thank you so much Diana!
We are getting a lot of rain out here! So much so that it has been flooding some of my fellow TH-camrs. Luckily for me, I am high and dry. A nice Alaskan rain storm would chill out that 110F pretty quick! Stay safe and wear sunscreen! Thank you so much Josefa!
Good for water catchment. I live by the beach. I never really care for it. I burn easily even with sunscreen. Just the view is nice. The rain from Alaska would be perfect. Thanks for your replies and thoughtfulness. Until next time.
@@josefaortiz1728 Ah by the beach! Nice! I prefer the nice Alaskan beaches and cold water! No sunscreen required. Because you are most likely wearing a heavy jacket!
Hello Lori! My contractor is awesome! I was very lucky to have found a good contractor that cares about the quality of his work. I don't think he would have "allowed" me to use Home Depot windows! Give the recipe a try! You will love it! Thank you so much Lori!
Without this contractor I was lucky enough to find, who knows what would have happened to my cabin and even my TH-cam channel. He and his crew definitely saved my cabin! Now I need just 6 more windows just like that! LOL! 🤣 Thank you so much Sandra! 🧡🤗💚
I am loving the natural light! There was a window in the kitchen already but this one facing my front yard is awesome! Nice to see the scenery out there now! The pork chops were incredible! You should give the recipe a try! Thank you so much Debbie!
I absolutely love this new window! It will give so much light to the room, and warmth from the sun! It will also give you another viewpoint to see if any wildlife are close by. I saved this video so I can try it later! You & Kenai stay well & safe! 💜🙏
The recipe is awesome! You will love it! The window is fantastic! It's so bright in the kitchen that I think I left the front door open at times! I will get used to it! But watching the weather and the wildlife will be easier now! Soon all the windows will be upgraded and the two windows raised up a bit! Thank you so much Teresa!
That window looks SO good on the front of the house! It was the final piece that it really needed! A home depot brand window would have completely ruined the front of the cabin, no doubt about it. You made the right choice.
The first window ordered took 2 months and was supposed to be ready when my contractor started bringing stuff up here. Then the company said they "lost" the window and it would be another 2 months. So yeah I waited 4 months for this window! My kitchen is so bright now! And I can see who is in my front yard! I love it! Thank you so much Colin! 🧡🤗💚
The geodesic domes I would like to have will house the fruit trees I think. I know fruit trees will grow out here but getting them to fruit takes some TLC. the berry patches can stay outside though! Soon! I hope! Thank you so much Joyce!
I agree! The window was something I always wanted and I wasn't going to compromise. The wait was worth it! And give the recipe a try! You will love it! Thank you so much
Good morning again Alone in remote Alaska. How nice to watch a new video first thing in the morning. The new window looks great.your contractors sure know their business. Thank you and have a nice day
Welcome back, yr not alone. Khee-9 ♡♡♡ I was bored, u always come thru.🤙💙🌻💙 Yum, I've made it with grapes and pineapple too. I once we're a Chief my self, now i take care of Geriatrics almost 13 yrs now.
OOO grapes and pineapple! Now that sounds yummy! Nice of you to use your experience to help out for so many years! That's just so awesome! Glad I could help the boredom! Sorry it was such a short video though! Sometimes people ask me why I say "we" and they assume it's another person living here! Nope just me and Kenai! Thank you so much!
That window looks great, glad you waited for the right one, you should get hours of enjoyment from it. The scenery clips and the recipies are added bonuses to your videos, please keep including them. Another well thought out and produced video, thank you!
Hey Chip! The window was well worth the wait! I know if I got the Home Depot specials that the view would have been "different" So happy you enjoyed the video! You are going to try the recipe right? Thank you so much Chip!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I made the Braised Pork-Cherries recipe last night for my son and daughter inlaw it was delicious, everyone liked it, my daughter inlaw even took the recipe. (that should tell you how good it was) thanks for sharing, looking forward to more great videos and recipes!!!!
Ahhhh thank you kindly Rose! the window is fantastic! Well worth the wait! I love being able to look out my front yard without having to run into the old bathroom! Thank you so much Rose!
That window location is brilliant! You will really enjoy all that light in your kitchen. Everything you add seems very well thought out and warms the place up. The recipe you posted is just wonderful. Its a must try for sure. The wonderful side dish....anything with mushrooms, yum! Stay safe and healthy. Good blessings to you, until next time.
I could never understand why there wasn't a window there in the first place! So weird! I am loving the views now! Sometimes I will just look at a section of the cabin and think "What could I do here" and instantly my "to do" list grows! The pork chop recipe is so good! and the pilaf side dish was incredible! Kenai didn't care for the side dish though Thank you so much Brenda!
My view, the wait is worth it. Long range, you will forget the long wait and enjoy the window for decades. I love cherries, hard to go wrong with anything with cherries
It was worth the wait and the only time I would have saved was 7 weeks. Seems like nothing now and I had so much going on anyway! Hated that my contractor had to drive for 10 hours to install it! My problem with cherries is I could eat the entire bag of them and not even notice! Probably pay the price later though! LOL Thank you so much Moose!
I think your roof will now withstand many decades to come. The cherry glaze sauce would also be wonderful on baked brie. I only say that because I don't eat meat. The mushroom oat pilaf looked devine and I bet was a nice compliment to the cherry sauce over pork chops. Yum 😋
OMG! You had to mention baked brie!!!! The pilaf was delicious! Actually the entire meal was delicious and Kenai got at least 1/3 of my dinner! LOL! 🤣 Thank you so much Lauri! 🧡🤗💚
Hello Carol! I love the window so much that I will be replacing the other 5 as well! Oh wait there are 6! This will be pricey! But worth it! I am so happy you are enjoying my channel Carol! Thank you so much
There was a window in the kitchen already but this one facing my front yard just is a game changer! Of course in the dark winter months it will just look like I am on stage for the animals since they will be able to see me and I wont be able to see them! Except I have night vision security cameras now! LOL! Thank you so much
Love the new window!! The wood casement looks so much better than the vinyl would have, excellent choice 👌. The cabin looks so good, love the ideas you have for it.
Vinyl on a log cabin just looks out of place to me. Like drywall in a log cabin! PASS! The cabin has come a long way this year! Many more years of progress to come! Thank you so much Merry!
Hello Stella! I was always hoping to at least entertain people but to inspire people was unexpected for me! I love it! Especially if it motivates anyone to live their dream! Thank you so much Stella!
Those pork chops look amazing!! So nice to sweet Kenai !! Love the window!! I wouldn't of put the cheap white window in either!! If I couldn't of afforded it right then I would have waited until I could!! It's beautiful!! I think it's great how your contractor looks out for you and does these extra projects to keep you safer and have your cabin more sturdy. Have a great weekend and give Kenai hugs for me!! Take care❤️
Hello Rhonda! The one thing I can say about my contractor is he takes a lot of pride in his work! He wont cut corners. I know if he does a projects that it is going to last for decades! To be honest, IF I had told him to just pick up some windows at Home Depot instead, he probably would have said NO. The pork chops where incredible and yes, Kenai got more than his fair share! He is a spoiled brat! But he truly does get about 100 hugs from me per day! And I added yours! Thank you so much Rhonda!
The natural light is SOOO much better than the whiny florescent light I have in there now! It just is so bright in there now that I think I left the front door open! I will get used to it! Now to get the other 6 windows replaced! Someday! Thank you so much
Looks great! Just make sure you close that window properly especially after you’ve cooked. Bears might find an open window like that to be very attractive.
Hey Donna! I haven't seen you in the comments for a spell! I hope everything is good with you! Window will be closed and I am making more bear mats soon too! Thank you so much!
I love the 🪟 window. I love daylight. When I lived with my daughter for a short bit in a makeshift cabin, it was so dark in the kitchen. I told my daughter we needed a window, so I got the saw and cut us out a window 🪟 😝 and just stapled up plastic….it made so much difference though ☀️. The chops looked amazing 😋.
I actually like the dark winter months more. Always been that way. But I do like how much brighter my kitchen is now! I always think I left the front door open though I'm sure the window you made was just the thing needed! That sounds just like something you would do to! Cooking in a dark room is hard! Give the recipe a try! You and David will love it! Thank you so much Angie!
Such a great episode, I didn't want it to end. I wanted to pull up a chair (and plate) and watch the rain and enjoy with you! Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I sure hope you will do a cookbook - "Cooking for Two - Alone". 😉 Love all your transformations on your home. Each improvement was done with much thought and prep. WELL WORTH the waiting for good craftsmen and materials. TBC (that's Elvis lingo for "to be continued" and yes I've been to Graceland!💖😎)
It was kind of a shorter video this time Sorry! 😁 So a few people have mentioned a cookbook and I may just do one. I have all of these recipes in my head though so getting them to paper will be something I work on. Viewers have also mentioned renovation burnout and I can definitely see that as a real thing. For me (at least for now) I am so excited to see all these things get done to my cabin that I look forward to it happening. 🤪 And that is mostly because my contractor is so good at what he does and he and his crew, and Aaron are really nice guys. Yes, I do kind of miss them being around but I do love having my solitude back too! Graceland! I actually think I would love to see that! I think Elvis had some crazy gody stuff and it isn't quite vintage enough for me, but hey, it's Elvis! Thank you so much Teri! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska You've got the right idea, schedule down time and regroup! It's great the same guys are on your project. Initially mine took two years but face it, you never finish😂. It's part of the journey! You are very, I mean extremely competent, but if I can help you with your cookbook, I'd be thrilled! Sounds like a great "one of many" project for those snowed in times! You've got the best followers! 💕
@@ZarpeParadise Having great followers is the one thing that motivates me to get the next video out and make me feel so guilty when I can't release one. I know everyone understands but everyone always shows up for me! The least I can do is return the favor. As for the construction projects, I know it will never really get done completely. One list down in time to start the next one. And having projects to complete keeps you motivated! Speaking of projects, the cookbook idea is a ways off yet. You know me, I don't want to just throw out some PDF's to print. I am going to research some software to do this so maybe I can add some pictures of not just the food but some scenic stuff too. A winter projects indeed! Thank you so much Teri!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska you will have it all there when you are ready! I feel sure it's a natural progression. Scenic shots laced in with renderings/screen shots of your simple and super dishes/recipes! The actual process is in your videos! People like you love real and rustic!
Now when I work in the kitchen I will have a window to my left, to my right and right in front of me! Sure brightens up the kitchen! Thank you so much Dave!
Love the window!! And that meal looks like a magazine cover photo! Yum. We got our wood stove to hot a couple years ago and melted a piece inside of it. The piece is obsolete so we ran without it last year, not the best idea. This summer we gave the stove a good overhaul and made a new piece for it. Video will be coming soon. Yes, get that wood stove fixed.
The window is fantastic! I love it! And the pork chops where delicious! Even Kenai got a good portion of it! A magazine cover! Thank you kindly David! I had no idea you could melt a piece in a wood stove! That must have been a pretty hot fire! I can't wait to see what you did! My wood stove will get fixed soon! A viewer was sweet enough to purchase the wood stove repair putty from my Amazon wish list so guaranteed it will be fixed soon! Thank you so much David!
The window sure does brighten up the kitchen! Might need some curtains! LOL! Give the pork chop recipe a try Chris! You will love it! Thank you so much!
Your pork chops looked so delicious 😋 and the mushroom mixture. I will be trying this. The window is beautiful and I wouldn't have changed my mind either. Have a wonderful weekend ☺️.
@@laruedouglas1064 And that is what I always try to do in my videos! Scenic, educational, motivational, entertaining and add some humor! I don't always hit the mark on the humor!
A fortress is the goal! But hopefully a stylish rustic fortress! I love the window and it was so worth the wait! So happy you are enjoying my channel! Thank you so much Jackie!
You definitely made the right choice on that new window!!! I am so sick of all the cheap white plastic....everything! Growing up in the PNW, our house had those cool crank windows! Such a great design decision in so many ways!!
Plastic definitely does not fit the vibe here. And I absolutely love this window! I will want to replace the remaining 6 windows now with the same casement style. BUT that will have to wait a bit! Nice windows = expensive! LOL! 🤣 Thank you so much Leigh! 🧡🤗💚
It was definitely worth the wait! Now I have to wait until I can afford to get the other 6 windows replaced! It will be worth it! Thank you so much Kristy!
Kenai and I really enjoyed the meal! You should give it a try and if you don't have a big dog like Kenai maybe you can eat most of it yourself! Kenai always gets 1/3 of my dinner! And the new window is so nice! Brings in so much light and I can see my front yard now! Thank you so much Kimberly!
I love your new window! It looks amazing! The food makes me hungry!!! It's nice to cook in the light from your new window. Thank you for another great video!💖
It certainly brightened up the kitchen! I love it! Now to get the other five swapped out someday! It makes a huge difference cooking now! Thank you so much Justine!
Great video, I always love your great choice of musical backgrounds. That window is looking GORGEOUS Alone yaaaaay! So happy for you. Thanks for sharing that lovely recipe, yuuum!
Oh the music! Sometimes it is SO difficult to find just the right music! I ended up signing up for two music services to make sure I have enough to choose from. It can make or break a video! And that window was so worth waiting for! I love it! Hope you try the recipe sometime! It's awesome! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you waited for the window you wanted. I absolutely love it. That part of your house on the outside looks really nice with the new window. Enjoy it. I ordered a t-shirt and a cap from your Alone in Remote Alaska store . I should be getting it soon. Take care and God Bless ya always
Hello Lisa! I am very happy I waited as well. The window looks so much better and now I want the other 6 replaced! And thank you Lisa for your purchase! I get notification when something is purchased but they don't tell me anything about who bought it so I can't add them to the contributor wall at the end of each video! Thank you for letting me know so I can add you to it! I have not received my samples yet so I am not aware of the quality but PLEASE, if you are not happy with the purchase, do not hesitate to return it! Thank you so much Lisa!
Ok now I’m hungry. That pork recipe looks so delicious. Definitely going to try to make that. The key word is try because I’m not the greatest cook. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. 🐶💖😀👩🍳 Stay safe my friend. I love your new 🪟 window. Great 👍 choice.
HA! No worries Carri Ann I always show simple recipes as that is how I like to cook. Although I do have some complicated ones too! The new window is just so nice! And now I want to change out the other 6! 🤪Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Hi Alone! The new window looks great. Perfect place for it. Cheeries over pork chops is something neither of us have tried before. Saving this recipe! Catching up!
Hello Beth! The pork chops were incredible! Kenai was begging me to eat the other one and I almost did since Kenai got about 1/3 of my pork chop! I am happy I waited for this window. My contractor had to drive all the way out here just to install a window! But it has brightened up my kitchen so much that I keep thinking the front door is wide open! I love it! Oh and now I can see if someone is in my front yard!! LOL! Thank you so much Beth! 🧡🤗💚
Morning from Arizona. You asked about the window. When i had my log cabin. It ruined the vibes and the look of my cabin when they wanted to put painted windows and doors on it. I stood my ground and waited for the clear wooded casements and it added to the beauty. You done right
Yeah for sure windows can make or break the overall look! I am very happy with this window and now want to get them all replaced! But that will be awhile. It will get done though! Thank you so much
You are so absolutely lucky with these wonderful contractors.
Because I live rural in Oregon and we have a hell of a time getting guys to come out and work for us even when we’re totally loyal and pay what they want and everything it is so difficult for everyone not just me ,this summer has been a bear. So you were just so lucky that these guys care about you and want to help you and I believe that they do care about you and want you to make it is not just money for them.
They are made of gold!
I have heard many terrible stories of bad contractors taking money or doing crappy work. Or even just doing 1/2 the work! That would have been the death of my cabin as it had to get that new roof before winter! I took a HUGE chance with my contractor but he always kept in contact and showed up! My contractor explained that he gets 90% of his work from word of mouth and reputation is everything. But yeah, he and all of the people he brought on treated my cabin as if it was their own cabin. No short cuts. Extra special attention to details. And you will definitely be seeing them again! Thank you so much Violet!
I thought the same thing, hard to get people to work so far out
The window is gorgeous. I love it too.
Thank you so much Laurie! I love it so much that I want to swap out the other 6 windows now! Ahhh someday!
Love the window. Yum yummy pork chops.
I am loving the window! Funny how a window can be exciting! Give the recipe a try! You will enjoy it! Thank you so much Melody!
That windows is perfect. You must be loving all that gorgeous sunlight and that view..
The kitchen is brighter and so much easier to cook in now. Someday, I will replace the remaining 6 windows with the same casement window. Thank you so much Erica!
Love the casement window. Good choice.
I certainly am enjoying it! I am glad I waited. Now I have to swap out the remaining 6 windows! See what I started! Thank you so much
How wonderful to have that view while cooking. Lovely lite coming in. Perfect!
I can't believe there was never a window there in the first place! Of all places to have great lighting, you'd want that to be in the kitchen. This window is a game changer for me! And it's nice to see my front yard from inside the cabin! Thank you so much Bev!
Those magic moves on the ladders got me! Those two guys were totally in sync!
I'm glad you put the window in you really wanted. The cabin let's you know what it needs and you listened. No to stock windows. Years of enjoyment.
I was thinking the same watching those guys maneuver so expertly on those tall ladders!
@@mojavelight It was like some ladder dance! Crazy how they just knew what the other would do. 🤣🤣
Yeah those guys are like circus performers up high! LOL! I would be frozen about half way up and they would have to get a fire truck with an extending ladder to get me down! 🤣 The window is so awesome! I really cant believe how much brighter my kitchen is now. The problem with this window is now I want all the windows changed out! LOL! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Isn't that the way it goes? Especially with older homes....fix one thing and everything else needs to catch up!
It's amazing how much difference one little window can make. The first couple of days must have been weird. Seeing outside instead of a wall.
That one window has transformed my kitchen! I mean I have so much to get done in there but having the natural light! The one window just wasn't cutting it! Now with two, its amazing! And yeah it really is nice to be able to enjoy the views of my front yard now! First couple of days I thought I had left the front door open! Thank you so much
Good Morning, your new window is just perfect! I grew up with this type of window too and love them. Such a perfect place for your table too!.. Love that you can sit out and listen to the water.. Talk about ambiance! Whew!.. Thank you for sharing.. Love to you
I always talk about the solitude here and how quiet it is. But there are always the sounds of nature that keep everything sounding nice. Not interested in 100% complete silence like a sound proof room! But hearing the birds, hearing the wind and of course actually hearing a distant river is amazing! The window addition is amazing! Like there should have been a window there all along! Seeing my front yard now is actually really nice! Who doesn't like to work in a kitchen with a view! Thank you so much Connie!
I was scoping out your pantry shelves while you were cookng. I love that Rotel stuff... yummy!
Hey Amanda! Rotel has so many uses! So good with Mexican or TexMex food! Believe it or not, I have never made the Rotel cheese dip though I know, I'm weird! Thank you so much Amanda!
I love the new window. The food looked delicious.
The window is a game changer! My kitchen is brightened up and easier to cook in! Well at least during the day! Pork chops were delicious! Thank you so much Leilani!
Your ideas are as bright as the world outside as seen through your lens. Thank you for your time. Til next week.
And thank you so much John! Always a pleasure to hear from you!
Your window is fantastic, please do more cooking videos, they are delicious and fun, and on a side note, your hair looks so cute braided like that, I love it. ♥️♥️
Oh I do plan on doing more cooking videos! And I try to cook things others on TH-cam are not. Or at least not in the homesteading world. Simple to make on a burner or wood stove type stuff! I rarely wear my hair this style. So glad you liked it! Thank you so much Jennifer!
We will give this recipe a try! I made your ice cream with the pecans for my wife. It was wonderful, now she thinks I should start cooking more! Lol. Thanks for adding these to your videos.
If you sand down the cabin it's going to be beautiful could see wood while contractor was installing window.
I make ice cream and recently used Alone's tricky ingredient and whoa,,, took my ice cream recipe to the next level!!!
I shared the recipe (episode #38 17:marker) with my friend to make with her 5 year old grand daughter this weekend. They will LOVE IT!! Thank You!
Awesome you made the ice cream! I have always thought it was so cool when my kids would make things I used to make for them or when they call me asking about how to recreate something I used to make. I wasn't 100% sure about cooking on my videos but I can tell you I do love to hear when other people try my recipes! I will keep adding recipes to my videos. I mean if your wife wants you to cook more, I better get cracking! LOL! Thank you so much Steve! 🧡🤗💚
HA! I love it! 🧡🤗💚
Hello from Oregon, wow your place is sure coming along, it looks so good.
One project at a time and before you know it, it will be perfect! It will take a few years but that's ok. It will be worth the wait! Thank you so much Sandy!
The new window looks great and a nice meal as well.
Now I need to change out all the windows! It's possible the cherry glaze would be great on those Taquitos you keep in the freezer! Thank you so much Brian!
Seriously CHEF!! The fact that you brined it....you're 100% correct! You continue to impress me!!❤
HA! No chef but I definitely love to cook! Mostly simple meals. Thank you so much Leigh! 🧡🤗💚
Adorable gal with moxie, hard to find these days....cabin is transforming very nicely.
Ahhh thank you kindly Peter! Maybe I am just the rare introvert that shares her life to the world of TH-cam! Cabin has come a long way and has a lot more to go! Thank you so much Peter!
Be SURE! you use the right finish on your window casing because in the winter it will tend to ice up in very cold weather and when melt occurs it will run down on the casing. A fan directed at it will help keep it clear. You are cooking near the window which doesn't help.
Go to "Northern Tool & Equipment", enter "rv water pump". There is a video of the $89 pump.. Hook it up to 12 volts and add a couple hoses and you can have running water from a storage container to a simple camper sink etc. Also transfer water between containers. Saves lifting & pouring. I used the blue 30 gal bbls. for storage. I used something similar to Cabela's deluxe camp sink that was stainless steel with a simple faucet.
A lot of fantastic advice here George! I understand all my windows will require some TLC during the winter and I plan on swapping out all the windows to this same casement style eventually. I have 4 55 gallon plastic (open top) barrels coming to me from Colorado when my son brings up all my stuff. Water transfer will be a concern for sure! The Cabela's camp sink is something I have eye balled a few times. More for my outdoor kitchen maybe. I like it! Thank you so much for the awesome PRO TIPS George!
I think you should do a "what i eat/cook in a week" videos.
With being so far from a grocery store, it would be interesting to see.
That is something I will do for sure. Definitely a winter time video! Maybe right after I do my next winter hauls. Thank you so much Rachel!
Lol as single women we always cook enough for two meals . In my opinion it is ver smart and good time management good information in this video
Exactly! It is always nice to not have to worry about lunch the next day! Well I did because I ate the other pork chop for breakfast! Thank you so much Sandi!
Love your piquresque opening...and the quietness...what beauty and peace you live in...so healing and rejuvenating for the soul. AND YES - you chose correctly on your beautiful window, which will now give you years of pleasure, which you would have forfeited if you let yourself become impatient and opted for something quicker. Good for you! I must tell you, the stars are with you in finding that fantastic contractor. I think the folks who choose to live and work in Alaska are of a high caliber in integrity and workmanship. Their word is their word. 🙂 Loved that yummy looking dinner, even though I'm plant based. It looked absolutely scrumptious! Thanks again for taking us along and sharing your life with us, it's always refreshing and interesting. ❤
The best part of this property is the solitude! Sitting outside and hearing nothing but mother nature is the way to live! Sometimes even the birds get a bit carried away but that also means no predators around. My contractor is awesome! I had only contacted him because I was casting a wide net and emailing every contractor I could find. He was the ONLY one to contact me back! How lucky was that! And honestly I don't think my contractor would have allowed Home Depot windows because he is making sure the cabin stays safe and rustic! He literally would have told me to have someone else install them if I had decided that way! And that's what makes him good! The pork chops where incredible! I had done a vegetarian dish awhile back but the footage was all bad! I will do it again soon. Thank you for joining my journey here! We have some interesting times coming up! Thank you so much
pork chop look yummy. new window look amazing
It was pretty good but not as yummy looking as the Mayo chuck roast you made! Did you cook that thing for like 15 hours? I was sleepy when I watched it sorry! I am loving this window! It was certainly worth the wait! Thank you so much Scotty!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska @Alone in Remote Alaska yes it was worth it so good thanks
I am glad you didnt go for the window with the plastic trim, it would have looked all wrong bringing plastic into t natural log home. The casement looks just right and I would have waited for what I wanted as well. Dish looks good too.
To be honest, I think my contractor would have refused to install Vinyl windows because it would have looked so wrong. He does like keeping the cabin looking like a cabin! The window was well worth the wait and I will eventually swap out the remaining 6 windows with the same casement window. Two windows need to be raised a bit too. Kenai and I enjoyed the pork chops! Thank you so much
The cabin is getting better and better every time. good for you!
One project at a time! And still so many yet to be done! Stay tuned! Thank you so much
I get so excited when I see a new video pop up. The cabin is coming along nicely. What a wonderful choice in the new window. Can't wait to see what happens when your son brings your stuff from the lower states.
The window is awesome! I love it! Now to get the other 6 replaced! LOL All arrangements have been made for my son to get here! Uhaul and ferry ticket is booked! I will be nervous the entire time he is driving here but he is a very resourceful kid! Kenai is going to lose his mind when he see's my son again after so long! I will have to get that on video! Thank you so much Denise!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska oh I definitely want to see Keni losing his mind when he sees your Son. They have a way of knowing when they have traveled with us several miles and then to be reunited with someone they know from previous homes after going to a place they know it's so far away with different smells, meeting so many people that they don't know, it really does trip them out.
Cherries....on pork chops.....oh my!
Enjoyed this. Love the new window!! 👍😎🇨🇦📷🐾🍒
The new window is SO awesome! I want to swap out the other 6 now! And I will! And you cant go wrong with the cherries on pork chops! SO YUMMY!! Thank you so much Marian! 🧡🤗💚
One beautiful and large window to match one beautiful and cozy cabin, so you can watch one beautiful and awesome scenery! Alaska sure is unique.
And hopefully soon, all the windows will match and be adjusted in the height! Two windows are still too low. But they sure help enjoy the scenery and wildlife from the safety inside. Unique is a perfect description of Alaska! Thank you so much Fabricio!
Ha ! I have not made the ice cream yet but I bet it is wonderful . Yes I was reading comments . The meal looks wonderful . I love your casement window and you were right to wait . Good luck 🍀 getting your wood stove repaired . I have a Woodstock Woodstove which is Soapstone and holds heat amazingly . Beautiful views !
A soapstone wood stove is awesome! I have researched these a bit and they do manage to heat longer. I will be able to repair my wood stove soon as someone was nice enough to purchase the woodstove repair cement from my Amazon wish list. Should be able to keep it repaired long enough to get that Elmira cook stove. The ice cream and the pork chops are amazing! Just don't make pork chop ice cream ok!! Thank you so much Toni!
Ann, I’m so glad you don’t compromise if you don’t have to. Prevents regret later.❤️
SO true! I was looking forward to the window and when my contractor said I would have to wait even longer, I was sad but just happy it would be getting done this year! I love it! Thank you so much Sarah!
Hello Alone, thank you for your recent response. It is always a pleasure to hear from you here in the UK. Your world is so completely opposite from mine, which is what I love so much about it. I think there is always a degree of escapism in most of us, but you have achieved the ultimate and am loving that you are sharing this with us 👍. I think it's going to be fun for all of us to 'meet' your son and will be interesting to see your sightseeing trips together, which you hopefully will be sharing. I loved your opening peaceful scene this week with the river. It is amazing how far sound does travel. How far do you need to walk from your cabin to see the view of the river? The window addition is fantastic, giving another dimension to your home. The view is beautiful and peaceful and brings the outside in to your living area. I see you have a table under, so somewhere nice to sit and look out now, when you having your meals or a coffee or just feeling reflective. I had a thought, when i was watching the overhang support being installed. Would you want something to hang from there? Something decorative that could hang as a permanent fixture? Just a thought. When you have contractors visit to do work for you, do they ever comment on your choice to live out there alone? Or are they used to meeting people living as you do? Are there many women living alone do you think? I imagine you might be the only one in Alaska 😊. Even though I don't eat Pork chops, your recipe looked extremely tasty with the cherries. I think they compliment each other well...recipe additions are fun. Thank you for this update Alone, keep safe and look forward to your next installment 😍
It is always my pleasure to bring you along for my journey here! Once my son gets here, we will have to unload the Uhaul and I have a couple projects for him but we will definitely be doing some sightseeing and bringing you along! The river we were listening to in the beginning is about 2-3 miles away (I think) but it is through some rough untrailed country. Everything past my backyard is National Park or Wildlife Reserve so I can't make a trail but a path will be wiggled through somehow. I have not given any thought to hanging anything in the front except maybe the American Flag. Every person that has worked on my property so far loves this property. they just wonder how I was able to find it. And yeah they are shocked it's just me and Kenai! I think there are a few other women who live out here alone because they have commented. I just may be the only one with a TH-cam channel. To be honest, I am not a pork chop kind of gal either but when I do make them, I like them to be tasty! Fruit always helps! This recipe is amazing! Thank you so much!
I would not have canceled my casement window because it was late. I would have waited, until the cows came home, for that window! My home, when I was growing up, had casement windows. I love them so much! You are doing everything you can to ensure that you and Kenai have your dream cabin!
I have casement windows throughout my home and I love them! The screens are mounted inside so they don’t get so dirty.
If that cabin stood through many winter snows as it was built, the changes you’ve made can only add to its stability.
Btw, Julia Child said a tiny bit of pink in pork is perfectly okay. Folks who don’t care for pork chops probably ate over cooked tough chops. Will try your recipe!
Casement windows just make sense for me. They are beautiful and safer in case I ever need to use one! (fire) The cabin is very sturdy and now that it has a new roof, it will out live me easily! Oh NOW Julia Childs says its ok after I spent years perfecting the pork chop cooking! LOL! And yeah I think most people hate pork chops because they were cooked to the texture of leather! And they taste so awesome when cooked correctly! Thank you so much Deb!
Those pork chops in cherry sauce look wonderful!!
You should give the recipe a try! You will love it! Thank you so much Donna!
The window that you had put in, is Absolutely Perfect. I had those style of windows when I was younger.
I love the window! It was so worth waiting for! I want to change all my windows now! Just going to have to wait. This window wasn't cheap! Thank you so much Eric!
Everything you’ve done to the cabin makes beautiful sense, including your new kitchen window! The recipe looks yummy.
I could never understand why there wasn't a window there before. It was rather annoying to not be able to see my front yard unless I went into the "useless" bathroom. Or ran upstairs. Now I can see the wildlife and the weather and of course anyone coming up my driveway! Pork chops were delicious! Kenai approved! Thank you so much Diana!
Going to be 110 degree in Brooklyn NY. Love to be in Alaska. Just a thought of the day. Until next time.
We are getting a lot of rain out here! So much so that it has been flooding some of my fellow TH-camrs. Luckily for me, I am high and dry. A nice Alaskan rain storm would chill out that 110F pretty quick! Stay safe and wear sunscreen! Thank you so much Josefa!
Good for water catchment. I live by the beach. I never really care for it. I burn easily even with sunscreen. Just the view is nice. The rain from Alaska would be perfect. Thanks for your replies and thoughtfulness. Until next time.
@@josefaortiz1728 Ah by the beach! Nice! I prefer the nice Alaskan beaches and cold water! No sunscreen required. Because you are most likely wearing a heavy jacket!
Thank You for being so loving in sharing your life and videos . Until next time. Very much appreciated and enjoyable.
I thoroughly enjoy sharing my journey here with you! And I am glad you are enjoying my channel! Thank you so much Josefa!
The window is beautiful! Definitely worth the wait! Great place to sit at the window and have a cup of coffee! 🙏💕
I believe the window will get used a lot to just look out and watch weather and wildlife! It was absolutely worth the wait! Thank you so much Diane!
Wow. Your contractor knows his stuff. I also agree with you on waiting for that window. The food looks delicious!
Hello Lori! My contractor is awesome! I was very lucky to have found a good contractor that cares about the quality of his work. I don't think he would have "allowed" me to use Home Depot windows! Give the recipe a try! You will love it! Thank you so much Lori!
I love your window choice. You are blessed to have great contractors. Keep the videos coming.
Without this contractor I was lucky enough to find, who knows what would have happened to my cabin and even my TH-cam channel. He and his crew definitely saved my cabin! Now I need just 6 more windows just like that! LOL! 🤣 Thank you so much Sandra! 🧡🤗💚
The new window is great! Love the light it brings in.
Yeah the increased light is awesome! And being able to see my front yard! I love it! Thank you so much Joan!
Love the window Alone! Will be so nice to have the additional light. Pork chops looked delicious!
I am loving the natural light! There was a window in the kitchen already but this one facing my front yard is awesome! Nice to see the scenery out there now! The pork chops were incredible! You should give the recipe a try! Thank you so much Debbie!
I absolutely love this new window! It will give so much light to the room, and warmth from the sun! It will also give you another viewpoint to see if any wildlife are close by. I saved this video so I can try it later! You & Kenai stay well & safe! 💜🙏
The recipe is awesome! You will love it! The window is fantastic! It's so bright in the kitchen that I think I left the front door open at times! I will get used to it! But watching the weather and the wildlife will be easier now! Soon all the windows will be upgraded and the two windows raised up a bit! Thank you so much Teresa!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska you're welcome! Exciting to see all the new updates to the cabin! You & Kenai stay well and safe! 🙏💜
That window looks SO good on the front of the house! It was the final piece that it really needed! A home depot brand window would have completely ruined the front of the cabin, no doubt about it. You made the right choice.
The first window ordered took 2 months and was supposed to be ready when my contractor started bringing stuff up here. Then the company said they "lost" the window and it would be another 2 months. So yeah I waited 4 months for this window! My kitchen is so bright now! And I can see who is in my front yard! I love it! Thank you so much Colin! 🧡🤗💚
Soon you might be growing your own Cherry tree. Having your own little orchard would be so cool!
The geodesic domes I would like to have will house the fruit trees I think. I know fruit trees will grow out here but getting them to fruit takes some TLC. the berry patches can stay outside though! Soon! I hope! Thank you so much Joyce!
The window is perfect, the meal looks perfect, the scenery...perfect!
I really enjoy your videos!
God bless
Three perfects in a row! NICE! LOL! Thank you so much Sharon!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska 😀👍
Doing it the way you want is the way to go, especially when it's your happy place! Nice job on supper too!
I agree! The window was something I always wanted and I wasn't going to compromise. The wait was worth it! And give the recipe a try! You will love it! Thank you so much
Good morning again Alone in remote Alaska. How nice to watch a new video first thing in the morning. The new window looks great.your contractors sure know their business. Thank you and have a nice day
Thank you so much James! I am certainly enjoying the new window!
Welcome back, yr not alone. Khee-9 ♡♡♡
I was bored, u always come thru.🤙💙🌻💙
Yum, I've made it with grapes and pineapple too. I once we're a Chief my self, now i take care of Geriatrics almost 13 yrs now.
OOO grapes and pineapple! Now that sounds yummy! Nice of you to use your experience to help out for so many years! That's just so awesome! Glad I could help the boredom! Sorry it was such a short video though! Sometimes people ask me why I say "we" and they assume it's another person living here! Nope just me and Kenai! Thank you so much!
That window looks great, glad you waited for the right one, you should get hours of enjoyment from it. The scenery clips and the recipies are added bonuses to your videos, please keep including them. Another well thought out and produced video, thank you!
Hey Chip! The window was well worth the wait! I know if I got the Home Depot specials that the view would have been "different" So happy you enjoyed the video! You are going to try the recipe right? Thank you so much Chip!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I made the Braised Pork-Cherries recipe last night for my son and daughter inlaw it was delicious, everyone liked it, my daughter inlaw even took the recipe. (that should tell you how good it was) thanks for sharing, looking forward to more great videos and recipes!!!!
I love that window in front. It looks great. Beautiful view and you can see what’s going on out there. You are amazing.
Ahhhh thank you kindly Rose! the window is fantastic! Well worth the wait! I love being able to look out my front yard without having to run into the old bathroom! Thank you so much Rose!
That window location is brilliant! You will really enjoy all that light in your kitchen. Everything you add seems very well thought out and warms the place up. The recipe you posted is just wonderful. Its a must try for sure. The wonderful side dish....anything with mushrooms, yum! Stay safe and healthy. Good blessings to you, until next time.
I could never understand why there wasn't a window there in the first place! So weird! I am loving the views now! Sometimes I will just look at a section of the cabin and think "What could I do here" and instantly my "to do" list grows! The pork chop recipe is so good! and the pilaf side dish was incredible! Kenai didn't care for the side dish though Thank you so much Brenda!
My view, the wait is worth it. Long range, you will forget the long wait and enjoy the window for decades. I love cherries, hard to go wrong with anything with cherries
It was worth the wait and the only time I would have saved was 7 weeks. Seems like nothing now and I had so much going on anyway! Hated that my contractor had to drive for 10 hours to install it! My problem with cherries is I could eat the entire bag of them and not even notice! Probably pay the price later though! LOL Thank you so much Moose!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I understand that price, many times I have chosen to pay it.
@@MooseHenderson1 LOL! YUP!
I think your roof will now withstand many decades to come. The cherry glaze sauce would also be wonderful on baked brie. I only say that because I don't eat meat. The mushroom oat pilaf looked devine and I bet was a nice compliment to the cherry sauce over pork chops. Yum 😋
OMG! You had to mention baked brie!!!! The pilaf was delicious! Actually the entire meal was delicious and Kenai got at least 1/3 of my dinner! LOL! 🤣 Thank you so much Lauri! 🧡🤗💚
Good gracious your edits are PHENOMENAL!!
Thank you so much Leigh! It does take me all week to make these videos and I love to hear when viewers notice the edits! 🧡🤗💚
Love the window. You will enjoy it this winter also. The dish you made looked so good.
Love your updates weekly. Be blessed Alone!
Hello Carol! I love the window so much that I will be replacing the other 5 as well! Oh wait there are 6! This will be pricey! But worth it! I am so happy you are enjoying my channel Carol! Thank you so much
I love casement windows. You made the right choice. There is nothing like a good wood window.
The new window is perfect for your cabin. Love the videos
I can't wait to get all the windows replaced now! Thank you so much Jerry!
Hi Alone, I love the window. Light makes such a difference especially in the long Winter months.
There was a window in the kitchen already but this one facing my front yard just is a game changer! Of course in the dark winter months it will just look like I am on stage for the animals since they will be able to see me and I wont be able to see them! Except I have night vision security cameras now! LOL! Thank you so much
Love the new window!! The wood casement looks so much better than the vinyl would have, excellent choice 👌. The cabin looks so good, love the ideas you have for it.
Vinyl on a log cabin just looks out of place to me. Like drywall in a log cabin! PASS! The cabin has come a long way this year! Many more years of progress to come! Thank you so much Merry!
You chose in my opinion the perfect window.
I think so too! And now I want to change out the other 6 windows! Someday! Thank you so much
Great video, as always. You’re inspiring people you don’t even know- how fun is that. Best wishes in all you endeavor to do. ❤️😃
Hello Stella! I was always hoping to at least entertain people but to inspire people was unexpected for me! I love it! Especially if it motivates anyone to live their dream! Thank you so much Stella!
Your contractor is doing a great job with that window, I always look forward to your new videos. Great recipe as well. Central Qld, Australia
I hope he will be willing to swap out another 5 windows for the same! Someday! LOL! Thank you so much Diane!
Love the new window! Worth the wait for sure!
100% agree! When I replace the other 6 windows I will wait then too if I have to! Thank you so much
I think you made the right choice on your window. Love it!
I like it so much now I want to replace the other 6 windows! And I will! Thank you so much Laurie!
Boy, can all most taste them chops with the cherry toppings, barley, and mushrooms.
I tell you what Michael, it was absolutely delicious! You should try it! And Kenai loved it too! Making me hungry just thinking about this video! 🤣
Those pork chops look amazing!! So nice to sweet Kenai !! Love the window!! I wouldn't of put the cheap white window in either!! If I couldn't of afforded it right then I would have waited until I could!! It's beautiful!! I think it's great how your contractor looks out for you and does these extra projects to keep you safer and have your cabin more sturdy. Have a great weekend and give Kenai hugs for me!! Take care❤️
Hello Rhonda! The one thing I can say about my contractor is he takes a lot of pride in his work! He wont cut corners. I know if he does a projects that it is going to last for decades! To be honest, IF I had told him to just pick up some windows at Home Depot instead, he probably would have said NO. The pork chops where incredible and yes, Kenai got more than his fair share! He is a spoiled brat! But he truly does get about 100 hugs from me per day! And I added yours! Thank you so much Rhonda!
I love that casement window! I would have waited too . love more natural light !
The natural light is SOOO much better than the whiny florescent light I have in there now! It just is so bright in there now that I think I left the front door open! I will get used to it! Now to get the other 6 windows replaced! Someday! Thank you so much
Looks great! Just make sure you close that window properly especially after you’ve cooked. Bears might find an open window like that to be very attractive.
Hey Donna! I haven't seen you in the comments for a spell! I hope everything is good with you! Window will be closed and I am making more bear mats soon too! Thank you so much!
I think this window is great with a fly screen on it 😁👍
Fly and mosquito screen! Lots of screening needed here! LOL! Thank you so much Margaret!
The window is stunning!!
I do love that window! I can finally see my front yard! LOL! Thank you so much 🧡🤗💚
you just continue to impress the socks off of me! 🤯
Ahhhh well thank you kindly Dayna! I really do appreciate that!
I love the 🪟 window. I love daylight. When I lived with my daughter for a short bit in a makeshift cabin, it was so dark in the kitchen. I told my daughter we needed a window, so I got the saw and cut us out a window 🪟 😝 and just stapled up plastic….it made so much difference though ☀️. The chops looked amazing 😋.
I actually like the dark winter months more. Always been that way. But I do like how much brighter my kitchen is now! I always think I left the front door open though I'm sure the window you made was just the thing needed! That sounds just like something you would do to! Cooking in a dark room is hard! Give the recipe a try! You and David will love it! Thank you so much Angie!
Love your window...you will be so happy with it
I agree! I love it and want to swap out all the other windows now! LOL! Thank you so much Karyn!
Such a great episode, I didn't want it to end. I wanted to pull up a chair (and plate) and watch the rain and enjoy with you! Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I sure hope you will do a cookbook - "Cooking for Two - Alone". 😉
Love all your transformations on your home. Each improvement was done with much thought and prep. WELL WORTH the waiting for good craftsmen and materials.
TBC (that's Elvis lingo for "to be continued" and yes I've been to Graceland!💖😎)
It was kind of a shorter video this time Sorry! 😁 So a few people have mentioned a cookbook and I may just do one. I have all of these recipes in my head though so getting them to paper will be something I work on. Viewers have also mentioned renovation burnout and I can definitely see that as a real thing. For me (at least for now) I am so excited to see all these things get done to my cabin that I look forward to it happening. 🤪 And that is mostly because my contractor is so good at what he does and he and his crew, and Aaron are really nice guys. Yes, I do kind of miss them being around but I do love having my solitude back too! Graceland! I actually think I would love to see that! I think Elvis had some crazy gody stuff and it isn't quite vintage enough for me, but hey, it's Elvis! Thank you so much Teri! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska You've got the right idea, schedule down time and regroup! It's great the same guys are on your project. Initially mine took two years but face it, you never finish😂. It's part of the journey!
You are very, I mean extremely competent, but if I can help you with your cookbook, I'd be thrilled! Sounds like a great "one of many" project for those snowed in times! You've got the best followers! 💕
@@ZarpeParadise Having great followers is the one thing that motivates me to get the next video out and make me feel so guilty when I can't release one. I know everyone understands but everyone always shows up for me! The least I can do is return the favor. As for the construction projects, I know it will never really get done completely. One list down in time to start the next one. And having projects to complete keeps you motivated! Speaking of projects, the cookbook idea is a ways off yet. You know me, I don't want to just throw out some PDF's to print. I am going to research some software to do this so maybe I can add some pictures of not just the food but some scenic stuff too. A winter projects indeed! Thank you so much Teri!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska you will have it all there when you are ready! I feel sure it's a natural progression. Scenic shots laced in with renderings/screen shots of your simple and super dishes/recipes! The actual process is in your videos! People like you love real and rustic!
@@ZarpeParadise Hey! That's right Teri! Cookbook should resemble the channel anyway!
A perfect choice of window!…and wow what a view!. Nice one !great video! Thank you . Dave 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Now when I work in the kitchen I will have a window to my left, to my right and right in front of me! Sure brightens up the kitchen! Thank you so much Dave!
Love the window!! And that meal looks like a magazine cover photo! Yum.
We got our wood stove to hot a couple years ago and melted a piece inside of it. The piece is obsolete so we ran without it last year, not the best idea. This summer we gave the stove a good overhaul and made a new piece for it. Video will be coming soon.
Yes, get that wood stove fixed.
The window is fantastic! I love it! And the pork chops where delicious! Even Kenai got a good portion of it! A magazine cover! Thank you kindly David! I had no idea you could melt a piece in a wood stove! That must have been a pretty hot fire! I can't wait to see what you did! My wood stove will get fixed soon! A viewer was sweet enough to purchase the wood stove repair putty from my Amazon wish list so guaranteed it will be fixed soon! Thank you so much David!
I would have waited for the window. Looks good
The window was definitely worth the wait! I may even want to get all the windows replaced now! 😉🧡
Nice choice of the window. Really seems to brighten up your cabin. Pork chops looked delicious!
The window sure does brighten up the kitchen! Might need some curtains! LOL! Give the pork chop recipe a try Chris! You will love it! Thank you so much!
Another incredible video! Thank you. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Thank you so much Scott! 🤗🧡
Your pork chops looked so delicious 😋 and the mushroom mixture. I will be trying this. The window is beautiful and I wouldn't have changed my mind either. Have a wonderful weekend ☺️.
You will love the recipe! So tasty! One window down! Five more to go! LOL! Thank you so much LaRue!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska, I love watching your videos, they are hilarious once in a while. Then the serious side and beautiful nature.
@@laruedouglas1064 And that is what I always try to do in my videos! Scenic, educational, motivational, entertaining and add some humor! I don't always hit the mark on the humor!
Hi alone, your cabin is now a fortress. I love the choice of window you selected as well. Love watching your videos all the time.
A fortress is the goal! But hopefully a stylish rustic fortress! I love the window and it was so worth the wait! So happy you are enjoying my channel! Thank you so much Jackie!
You definitely made the right choice on that new window!!! I am so sick of all the cheap white plastic....everything! Growing up in the PNW, our house had those cool crank windows! Such a great design decision in so many ways!!
Plastic definitely does not fit the vibe here. And I absolutely love this window! I will want to replace the remaining 6 windows now with the same casement style. BUT that will have to wait a bit! Nice windows = expensive! LOL! 🤣 Thank you so much Leigh! 🧡🤗💚
Love your new window! I would have waited to!
It was definitely worth the wait! Now I have to wait until I can afford to get the other 6 windows replaced! It will be worth it! Thank you so much Kristy!
LOVELY VIDEO...YOU'RE DOING GREAT...THE NEW WINDOW IS PERFECT...ALL THE BEST...🙏VANCOUVER, CANADA...;)
Thank you so much Layna!
Love your window choice. That recipe looks delish.
The window is awesome and now I want to replace the other 6! LOL! Give the recipe a try! You will love it! Thank you so much Tara!
YummmY! Looks SO good! And I LUV the new window! I definitely would've went with that! 🦋
Kenai and I really enjoyed the meal! You should give it a try and if you don't have a big dog like Kenai maybe you can eat most of it yourself! Kenai always gets 1/3 of my dinner! And the new window is so nice! Brings in so much light and I can see my front yard now! Thank you so much Kimberly!
Your videos always make me smile. The food looks delicious too yummy!
Ahhh that is so awesome to hear! Thank you so much Dee!
I love your new window! It looks amazing! The food makes me hungry!!! It's nice to cook in the light from your new window. Thank you for another great video!💖
It certainly brightened up the kitchen! I love it! Now to get the other five swapped out someday! It makes a huge difference cooking now! Thank you so much Justine!
Great video, I always love your great choice of musical backgrounds. That window is looking GORGEOUS Alone yaaaaay! So happy for you. Thanks for sharing that lovely recipe, yuuum!
Oh the music! Sometimes it is SO difficult to find just the right music! I ended up signing up for two music services to make sure I have enough to choose from. It can make or break a video! And that window was so worth waiting for! I love it! Hope you try the recipe sometime! It's awesome! Thank you so much!
How wonderful for you to have such beautiful scenic views an great builders! Hard to find good honest ones anymore!
Love the window!
Thank you so much Patricia! I am loving it so much I want the other 5 swapped out now! LOL!
I'm so glad you waited for the window you wanted. I absolutely love it. That part of your house on the outside looks really nice with the new window. Enjoy it. I ordered a t-shirt and a cap from your Alone in Remote Alaska store . I should be getting it soon. Take care and God Bless ya always
Hello Lisa! I am very happy I waited as well. The window looks so much better and now I want the other 6 replaced! And thank you Lisa for your purchase! I get notification when something is purchased but they don't tell me anything about who bought it so I can't add them to the contributor wall at the end of each video! Thank you for letting me know so I can add you to it! I have not received my samples yet so I am not aware of the quality but PLEASE, if you are not happy with the purchase, do not hesitate to return it! Thank you so much Lisa!
Ok now I’m hungry. That pork recipe looks so delicious. Definitely going to try to make that. The key word is try because I’m not the greatest cook. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. 🐶💖😀👩🍳 Stay safe my friend. I love your new 🪟 window. Great 👍 choice.
HA! No worries Carri Ann I always show simple recipes as that is how I like to cook. Although I do have some complicated ones too! The new window is just so nice! And now I want to change out the other 6! 🤪Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Hi Alone! The new window looks great. Perfect place for it. Cheeries over pork chops is something neither of us have tried before. Saving this recipe! Catching up!
The window looks great! I agree with you that vinyl windows would not be good. The added sunlight will help a lot. The pork looks very tasty!
Hello Beth! The pork chops were incredible! Kenai was begging me to eat the other one and I almost did since Kenai got about 1/3 of my pork chop! I am happy I waited for this window. My contractor had to drive all the way out here just to install a window! But it has brightened up my kitchen so much that I keep thinking the front door is wide open! I love it! Oh and now I can see if someone is in my front yard!! LOL! Thank you so much Beth! 🧡🤗💚
Another great one!! Have fun, stay safe and I watch the last two videos two more times.
Ahhh thank you so much Allen! You are awesome!
I love what you are doing with the cabin!
Morning from Arizona. You asked about the window. When i had my log cabin. It ruined the vibes and the look of my cabin when they wanted to put painted windows and doors on it. I stood my ground and waited for the clear wooded casements and it added to the beauty. You done right
Yeah for sure windows can make or break the overall look! I am very happy with this window and now want to get them all replaced! But that will be awhile. It will get done though! Thank you so much
