Thank you! The next one is just about ready, and that will sadly be the last until we get back up this coming summer, and we're planning to stay full time after that. 😁🙌
Yes! The individual posts can be adjusted, up down and side to side as the ground fluctuates. It's a system others in the area use and it has worked well. Otherwise, continuous footings crack.
Yo creo que tenemos acomplicado que es necesario para compeltir nosotros edificio en un ano. Tenemos solomente una mes y media cada verano. Pardon, mi espanol es terible. 😁
We already have it, too, but we are back in Oregon for the winter, sadly! We can see the snow on our trail cams! We'll be back up permanently this summer...😁
how many years before you two retire and start living in alaska full time?....i am guessing you have a few vids in the can and are just putting them out every so often.....you planning on spending the christmas holidays up in alaska?....
We are actually planning to move up this summer! 😁 We have just one more video that's nearly ready, of our concrete pour, then we had to head back to our jobs so that will be the last one for a bit. No holiday in Alaska this year, but next!! 🙌
Don't usually comment but the Need is great ... Your footings are not deep enough, they need to be below grade / below fill ... A trench footing connecting your individual pads at or below frost line reinforced with plenty of steel would better ensure that your pads will not float / or heave / settle ... Winter can be brutal @ or well below freezing ... Make sure your mud is Hot / at lease 5000 PSI ...
Our footings are 24" deep and we decided against a trench footing because the frost heave would likely break them. Thankfully we had the advice of an engineer because of the ground movement, these separate feet will have an adjustable brackets we can raise and lower with the shifts in the structure.
Thankfully there's about 4 feet of fill across the pad, and the bottom 1/2 of that is huge, huge rocks. We needed to dig down to an even depth for the pour, so some of the surface stuff had to be set aside. It will all be covered with another couple feet of gravel, so even the rocks we set aside will be part of the finished pad. 😁
A lot of work for 2 People, proud of you both working together as a team . God Bless....
It is a lot! And it's slow, but we get there. Thank you for the encouragement! 😁

Good tip! It's easy to get sidetracked and focused on the task and not the safety. We appreciate your support! 😁
Don't go too long without another video awesome 🎉

For future builds use your metal spikes to drive your holes then follow with wood spikes.
Great idea! Thank you!

Are you not sure? That question mark is confusing lol.
@@SagebrushRambles Thanks for letting me know!
So the pads basically float on top of finished grade and you just adjust the house each year after winter to re level after movement?

When do you expect to get any snow? Most other Alaska channels already have snow.

Would be better to just leave those big rocks in the pad. More support. 😢
