Hi everyone, Happy Monday!!!
We got a chance to sneak down to our cabin this weekend and pick some blueberries, and grab a few images for our DIY Network show that will air sometime this fall (will let you know as soon as we know on an air date!).
I still can't believe we built that cabin in just a couple of months! Of course, everything was so rushed and under a tighter schedule because of the filming, but still! So it's fun to get to go back
This summer, on our free weekends, we've been working on a boat-in only project in remote Alaska. It's a tiny house sized cabin, on a lake about two hours from our home.
At just under 400 square feet on the main level, this project is quite a challenge - especially if multiple families are using the cabin at the same time. That means 10-12 people need to be able to sit on the main level, eat comfortably, and there has to be enough beds for everyone.
There's only one surface left in our cabin that we haven't installed the finished material on yet!
The downstairs floors.
I've had my heart set on hickory flooring, either laminate or hardwood depending on budget, from the beginning. Have you not seen Melissa from The Inspired Room's floors?
Wouldn't this mix of wood tones be the perfect flooring for our Alaska lake cabin? I showed our crew Melissa's floors, and they even loved it and were excited a
Hi guys, Jacob here.
If I write a post, it's gotta start with a cool picture of Alaska.
We spotted these big bulls on the drive to the cabin site. They are going to be some nice bulls by hunting season.
So about that cabin. It's sure coming along!
We did get a ton done last week! Make sure you follow Ana on Instagram - she's been sharing live progress photos.
But none of this would have been poss
What is the scariest part of working on a project???
If you are new to building, you'll probably say cutting.
But if you've got a project or two under your <tool> belt, my guess is you'll say painting or staining.
Painting or staining isn't necessarily difficult or expensive. The reason it is so scary is painting or staining can have the biggest impact on your project. It can take something drab and make it amazing, or take something amazing and make y
How was your weekend?
We headed down to our cabin for the weekend. We are so thankful to have a place to get away for the weekend.
Our cabin build will air this December on DIY Network. When I get a confirmed time and date, I will share with you!
It's been a little while since I've posted about our cabin build because we haven't been able to make it down there to grab a few photos I needed to complete these posts. &n
We've been done building our cabin for a month now, and are finally back to full rested. That was quite an experience, and a whirlwind of long hours and back breaking work.
Why, then, could I be itching for another project after seeing all these photos???
Hey, we are all a little bit crazy, right?
In this post, I will show you how we put up the main rafters for the cabin, and finished up all the timber work. This was my absolute favorite part (besides the fu
Hi everyone! Hope you had a great weekend!
We've been busy with projects, and will be sharing those with you shortly - can't wait, there's some good ones coming soon!
In the meantime, we'd like to get all of the cabin posts out before the show airs this fall. We don't have an air date yet, as soon as we do I will let you know.
In our last cabin post, we finished up the timberframe raising.
Today, I'll show you how we did two things - enclosed the ups
