The windows really help keeping us sane. May sound weird but sunlight is super important in the winter months. We purposely have them on the east and south walls to capture the light from sunup to sundown in the winter months.
@@LivingFreeAlaska Right!? I remember the first day we moved out of the camper. We didn’t even have all the roof sheeting on yet. Ha! But at least we could sit right next to the woodstove and not freeze to death. Ha! We had 15 5 gallon buckets, catching the drips from the unfinished roof. Literally 15. Ha!
I love the smoke color. I love your inside “living room”. It looks comfy. Great video. The house is coming along great. One step closer to it becoming your home! 😊
Welcome aboard Linda! We are so glad you are here! The good news is our channel is only 2 weeks old so you've found us at the right time... Thanks for being apart of our Living Free Journey!
Love middle sample of carpeting, but really any of those would look great. Love your channel. Bless you both from Washington State living in McCleary Washington.
Great see you moving in with the motor home. Quite envious of Snowmobile ride. 🥶Thanks for super 👁️photography, moose, mountains and house tour. Phil, Suffolk, U.K.🇬🇧(17 March)
I did too but Vintage pewter finally won as we only have the carpet in the bedrooms and our upstairs den (less chance to get dirty.) Thanks for letting us know.
I have a heated shirt that I have used this winter when out riding our snowmachines. It has kept m my core VERY warm. Haven't tried socks or gloves yet as my feet stay very warm in my boots and when riding my handlebars are heated and do a very good job of keeping the fingers warm.
Yes... but we chose to go lighter because we didn't want to go any darker due to our dark winters. And regardless we have a husky... theres no hiding her hair anywhere. 🤣
Yeah... I don't want to think about it... 😩 Thankfully that was almost two years ago. Still feeling the repercussions of it but wouldn't change a thing. We love it here. ❤️ Thanks for dropping in today. Have a great weekend.
It’s 121 feet and we cover it in this video: EXCAVATING Begins on the Homestead & TENT CAMPING in the Talkeetna's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OIxoDinqHcM.html
I was just wondering how long did it take you to build your home. From start to finish. Where you got everything moved in. Love your videos. Me there’s no way I could move there. Way too cold. I like my Iowa weather.
We started the build in June of 2021, framing was complete in September of 2021, we moved in with about 90% complete in August of 2022 and today we still have a few things to finish to call it completely done. Still waiting to finish exterior painting and getting our gutters installed. The relationship with the builder, like most custom home builds waned over the summer of 2022 and we have been left to finish everything else on our own for the most part since that time. By next weekend we should have the Channel caught up to that timeframe and the start of 2023.
Yes please watch Sophie when outside walking around by herself as those bird birds will just scoop down and grab her. Love your videos but I will stay here in New Jersey where it is at least in the 30s-40s in the winter.
We always do. In fact I saved her life just five minutes ago when an eagle circled back to check her out. When I saw his shadow I stepped out from under the eve and he decided to pass on by. YIKES!!! Never a dull moment here.
We hit 40 below a couple weeks ago and we live in a trailer park the nabor isn't from montana and he's like my waters frozen amd I told him we are all frozen he ask how long? and I told him that as long as it takes, I don't know if nothing brakes it could be tomorrow or 3 weeks last year we had to fix it
You seem well off so You are not having a hard time at all compared to some in Alaska. And I hope You realize You got ripped off by Your Contractor. They all overcharge and even more in Alaska.
Add the CV times on top of everything else too! Yes... needless to say the builder never "finished" our build and we are doing the final things ourselves. As with most custom bulids the relationships with the builder... someone loses in the end... and well we are just glad we got a house. He was the ONLY builder who would build our home in 2021 and at our location... so we will take what we got.
The amor was really pretty but we ended up with Vintage pewter. We didn't want the rooms too dark in the winter when darkness is already a problem. Thanks for leaving us a comment.
