Snow storms and cabin

So we finally got some snow and it turned out to be a big dump. Ok, snow down and time to get to the cabin and work on the inside walls. I picked up some form board to finish insulating the floor, well not really, the floor insulation is actually done with a R-38 rating, more »

Another Alaska Cabin, Oct 25, 2014

My latest trip to the Steese cabin site was to see what little I could offer in getting the cabin enclosed. Winter is here and enclosing the cabin is way up on the priority list so the inside work can be done is some comfort. I also hauled in the material to finish up my more »

Saturday morning Jake and I drove up the Steese to the parking area. The original plan was to work on the porch deck, help get the wall sheeting up and the house wrap on. So as all good plan’s go this one was changed before we even got started. Met Dean and loaded up the more »

Another Alaska Cabin, 4th weekend

I figured I’d make another trip, my fourth, up to the cabin site to help some more with the building. This was going to be a big push weekend as Dean had gotten a few more hands to help, a couple of good carpenters. I left town early with the plan to beat the snow more »

June 2014, into the cabin

After my end of the season trip last April I figured I’d wait until the snow was gone and the weather improved to make my first summer trip in. Well the snow did melt and summer did arrive along with lots of rain so far this year. I drove down Thursday evening and had my more »

Last ride of the season

And it was a doozy, the day started out fairly good, worked 4 hours, then drove down to my parking spot and unloaded. Plan was to make the first trip in with necessities and then make a couple more to haul the 1/3 cord of firewood I brought along. Well as they say, the “Best more »

The Cabin March 2014
