By the way. I had some great footage of laying out and squaring up to dig the pier holes and somehow lost it. But I'll revisit that method when we are doing the floor joists.

I don't watch TV anymore. Not Netflix, Prime, or Hulu. I just watch cabin builds on RU-vid with real people living the life that most people dream about. You guys are doing this and I love it. You're the real deal, living in a tent, starting from scratch, and you know how to shoot and edit videos, learning as you go. I now have 3 favorite channels on RU-vid: Wild Homestead, Cabin River Outdoors, and you guys, Alaskan Freedom. Keep doing what you're doing. Excited that you're finally building the cabin. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are looking at new cameras and microphones to improve our video quality. -J

@Jeremy_936 3 месяца назад

I know you guys are film people (like me) so I probably don't need to say this.... but consider putting in an intro for new subscribers with a summary of what you're doing, kind of like "Wild Homestead" and "Cabin River Outdoors".... also some quick cuts, close ups, action shots, an outtro. Again, you probably know this, and it'll be much easier once you have the new gear and sound. Really excited for you guys. You have sincerity and good vibes, which is the most important thing. I think your channel is going to be big. Thanks!

@douglasthompson2740 3 месяца назад

It is easier to set your post holder when the concrete is wet by far. However you have to do some prep. Make a jig for how far out of the concrete you want them. A couple of 2x4s with spacer blocks if needed) to set on the sonotube set up level and positioned correctly made up beforehand so all you do is plop them in on your marks on the tube. Pull a string line to mark the tubes precisely so you can line up your jig.

@AlaskanFreedom 3 месяца назад

I think once you see the type of hardware we are using it will make more sense why we are doing it this way. The hardware itself doesn't connect to the concrete, it only rests in the hole. You'll see it in the next video, or you can see it in the tent deck build video we did. In general for hardware the is imbedded into the concrete i can see where your recommendation would be much better though.

@Volusia1 Месяц назад

Are you not concerned about ground heave with piers only at 36”? I believe the frost line for Kenai is a minimum of 42”.

@AlaskanFreedom Месяц назад

@@Volusia1 i initially was very concerned about it when i moved here. But after much research i found that ground heaves are only really an issue in your in dirt. As long as you get down to rock and sand it won't be an issue. I was quite surprised myself to see most people here are building on slabs or shallow piers. But the area we're in is just all rock and sand once you get down about 12". From contractors I've talked with, i can expect a few millimeter of movement every few years and that's why i used the pier to beam adjustable hardware.
