INSTALLING a WOOD STOVE! (In Our Off Grid Cabin)
Well we got heat in our little cabin and we are ready to tackle the remodel. We have big plans for this little cabin. Years ago, it served as a remote rental cabin for visitors to this mountain pass. We are going to renovate it both inside and out and turn it into a cozy, lakeside retreat. I know you will enjoy the journey so let's get started.
From Alaska - peace to the world

Love how they respect each other. He lends his hand out to help her off the carpet. So beautiful.
It's nice seeing how thoughtful you are of your wife's safety. A lot of people are seeing the good example of healthy communication you practice, too. The world needs more of that, so thank you for sharing it with us. Hugs to Stella and peace to you, Tanya, and your family. 🙂

Yessss!!!! Love when you upload a new video! So, my oldest had a request for you guys. He saw the video where your wife was cooking & wondered if she/you could make a video with some more cooking &/or recipes. Maybe some of your family’s favorites or some simple recipes/meal ideas ? I know that’s not really what your channel & videos are about, but we love watching your videos, any & all of them. I have a loved one who’s severely depressed & your videos were the one thing that has helped over the past 6 months. Our family is forever grateful for you & your channel.

For snow removal off the roof, take a rope and lay one end over the top edge. Secure the end, now walk the rope to the other side. Flip it a few times or use your ladder, or rig to position it on the top. Now pull the secured end until you have two ends to position in the fall area. Pull the rope through the snow and bingp!
