I am an Alaskan. I have lived in Alaska for over 50 years (mostly in log cabins). At 10 years old I worked with my father building our family's off-grid, log cabin. I have never lost my love for the trade.
I have created a set of blueprints for this cabin. They are now available for purchase at thisismyalaska.com/, along with a complete material list. Disclaimer: I am not an architect or engineer.
My little helper is my grandson Drox!
The guitar music is by his father Eric.
The book Tanya is reading to Drox is "Paddle To The Sea" by Holling C Holling
The photography is by my friend Tonja LaBuda.

Incredible craftsmanship. Your grandson will have those memories for a lifetime. Cheers

Absolutely amazing. Plumbing, electrical, foundation, woodworking, roofing, welding, and cooking. Jack of all trades is an understatement lol
-
There is no man alive that would not wish for this man's giftedness. And on top of that, he bakes bread! Best skills and gift ever. This is something my wife must never see!
-
Just shaking this man's Golden hand would be an absolute privilege.

Having spent many years around Building and Civil engineering I have to say, this man is without doubt the most full range, very capable and talented man I have ever seen. Outstanding workmanship and quality in all he has done. Totally professional unlike anything I have seen in all my years. I am in my late 70s. What a truly wonderful builder. Fully envious of his widespread talents. Words fail me to praise him highly enough.
-
There are no words to describe this man's abilities. May God give him health and strength for many years to come.!!!

Well after watching that I’m speechless. Builds a cabin, fixes dinner and produces a beautiful video to document it all. A jack of all trades and an expert at all to boot. Well done.
-
OMG your skills are amazing. This is what I’ve always wanted to do as a little girl. 10yrs old I use to get up and watch this old house with bob villa. Back then I couldn’t find anyone to take me serious. Through out the years I’ve collected an arsenal of tools. Just doing small jobs for myself and family. Now at the ripe old age of 65 all I can do now is go back to watching it on tv now YouTube. I still get joy from this. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your amazing work.

You are a complete construction company, your skills are beyond impressive, they're simply amazing.
-
WHAT ELSE CAN'T THIS MAN DO??? hes an electrician, a plumer, a wood worker, a good father, a cook, a videographer, a camera man, and everything!!!
-
As an architect, i can tell, this is one of the best video i ever seen on the subject. You re understanding about how to build a house and show how to do it perfectly for other people. Really amazing job and skills, this video is a masterpiece. Wish you the best

Memories to last a lifetime with your grandson. I miss those days with my grandpa.
-
What can this man not do?! He can build, do plumbing AND electrical work, make a great video, and he can bake?! Real definition of a man right here. Thank you for this very entertaining video. Keep up the great work! I fell asleep watching videos and woke up to this, and I had to stay up and watch it. Made me want to build a cabin, dammit!
-
Not only is the build amazing, but the obvious time, effort and care put into the filming and editing of this video. It is truly a delight to watch! ❤️
-
this isn't a log cabin...this is art.
-
Damn; architectural design, ground engineering, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, heavy equipment operation, boiler room install...seriously high level on tradeskills. Not many people in the world have that amount of skillsets, impressive :)
-
I’ve watched a ton of these videos over the last few days and this is really the only one where I feel like I’m watching a master craftsman at work.
-
I just realized that this man not only built the entire house on his own, but probably videographed the entire process on his own as well. That's another layer of awesomeness that I think more people could appreciate. Truly inspiring stuff
-
Just as impressive as the first time I watched it. God gave this man a gift..and he used it.
-
You, sir, are a true artisan. Absolutely incredible work and all the more amazing because you constructed this home pretty-much single-handedly. I truly hope you and your family get to spend many years enjoying the getaway you have lovingly created.
