The weather has been ridiculous this last few weeks so that has given me a chance to put together a video I have wanted to do for a while now.
I have not made it a secret, and this week you will watch, as a Man with ZERO building experience builds an off grid cabin in Alaska starting with raw land to the move in!
Those of you that have been with me for a while will have seen all of this before, those of you who are new will get a chance to see from the start until the move in!
Anyone new to the channel can watch all of the videos that got to this point, should you want a little more detail on how I did anything so far....
I am a complete novice builder who grew up in sunny California and thought it would be an awesome idea to build my own off grid cabin on raw land in Alaska...what could go wrong?
I have never built a thing in my life so why not a house? OH! and I can live in a trailer while I do it....and work full time! Did I mention that I am out of shape, over weight and 60? What could go wrong?

About 6 years ago I was inspired by Shawn James (My Self Reliance) and we bought our homestead property in Northern Pennsylvania. I had considered building myself from scratch but ended up doing a pre fab building that I put together myself. A ground up build would have taken months and with the pre fab I had it all together in less than 4 weeks. We have a windmill and solar for power and collect rain water with a filtrations system that provides us with all we need ( also have a diesel generator for backup). I'm 54 now and wish I had done all of this sooner. I was stuck in that "someday" mentality where someday is the same thing as never. You never know until you try. Keep grindin

Well, if you watch me try and build that chicken coop you will shake your head at how ridiculous I look lol...when I built the first beam you will see I had no idea how to swing a hammer, but I am learning and getting better at every stage 😀 heck, I could not even cut a straight line with a skilsaw when I started hahahhaha....if I can do this, anyone can! Baring physical issues that would stop them....

Funny you speak of chasing dreams. My dream was also to build a cabin on a piece of land somewhere to my suiting. Somewhere where no building codes were enforced, preferrably. I spent a lifetime building and remodeling homes for others then moved on to flipping houses I owned to get enough money to finally own the land I wanted but after having all the experience building for others and the flips, I no longer had any desire to build my own place. That and creeping age and infirmity caused me to purchase a mobile home to put on the land I obtained. I built so many marvelous things for others that I got it all out of my system. But I do have a nice home in a remote location where no one disturbs me to any degree. So I guess the dream is somewhat fulfilled. Just not as originally planned.

Very inspirational to me @ age 62. I have always imagined that building one's own house to be very satisfying. I like your priorities, outhouse, chicken house, then your house!

I am closing on 7 acres in fairbanks this month. I’ve seen a lot of building videos. If i build a shitter box i’m going to reinforce it as much as possible. This one looks like a wolf could blow it over, let alone a grizzly

@@SeanInAlaska it wasn’t so much a critique of your craftsmanship as much as it is my fear of living out the scene from jurassic park 1 with a grizzly bear.

@ka0t1k1 hey, that is not an invalid fear! But if a bear wants in... a bear will get in lol. I was asked by my brothers what I would do if a bear tore my door down to get into my place and I replied...I would repair the door when the bear was done.

I am not heating the coop. The cost in power is just not something I can pull off, and they are fine without it. I do have a sliding door in the front that I close at night for them.

My dream was to always live in the country. I bought my 5ac piece of property. Where I can't be told what to do or how many dogs I can have. I have always been a dog person and raised dogs. had my property 6 years I am now 68 years old I just bought a shed and made it a tiny house I live in its a 12×28 Tennessee I'm a woman I live by myself. Well, me and my 3 dogs that are 100 lb each dog. and I love it it's been a lot of hard work I knew how to build things but it was still a learning curve especially when you're old out-of-shape and that I know exactly what you mean there. But it's getting better, and I'm getting more and more stuff done. I just started putting up a fence. I enjoyed your video very much. Marie from Tennessee. 1:04:13

The grading looked like it was done by profession grading and excavating company. Very well done. I worked 20 years in residential construction. I was bored and unchallenged with stick framing construction. I moved on to Industrial and commercial construction for another 31 years. Our company had many jobs in U.S.A. Parkway and it is the biggest industrial park in the world at 160 square miles. One of my highlights for my career was working on a Galvanizing plant. The red iron columns that supported the main frame of the building were 92 foot long and each one weighed over 4 tons. My safety coordinator and I used 2 10054 Sky tracks telehandlers to unload the red iron columns in tandem and place them in the correct locations. The plant has a 12 inch gas line to the furnace and was computer temperature controlled 24 hours a day. The furnace run at 900 degrees fahrenheit. The galvanizing plant is directly located next door to Elon Musk Tesla Mega Giga Factory. I think it is impossible for any one person to know the parameters of all 3 phases of construction. Your brain will never be that big. You may not of had any experience. I think your co workers may have contributed to your success.

That had to be cool to build! The skid steer work was by far the most fun I have had doing this so far lol...I loke how it turned out too! Of all my helpers, my buddy Ward, who helped raise the walls, is actually a builder. We made a deal when I started this, he said he would loan me whatever I needed and give me all the service he could but I had to do it myself. I am very happy we made that deal! Brian who helped while I was sheeting the roof has built a few things in his day, but he was just manual labor for my project and Todd, who gave me the greatest help..and was key to me completing the roof had never really built anything either. I am very lucky to have the friends I have!
