Log Cabin Building TIMELAPSE Built by ONE MAN (and Grandson)

Welcome to Alaska! You will enjoy this timelapse video of my Alaskan cabin project. It is a compilation taken from 35 separate videos (of the entire build) published on my channel over the past year. You can find all 35 videos on my channel under the "My Alaskan Log Cabin Project" playlist.
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.

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 KZread. I still get joy from this. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your amazing work.

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.

I can appreciate all the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into this. Honestly, I'm in awe of what you have built. I found myself laughing towards the end when you were baking a loaf of bread and making dinner. All I could think was "Is there anything this man can't do?" and then you turn into a baker and chef 😆. I can only hope that at some point in my life I possess the knowledge that you've displayed and will be able to build something half as amazing as this with my son. Great job, sir!

    That is one fantastic craftsmanship! You have absolutely fantastic skills. One thing, besides the work, that struck me is the love you show towards your dog, and the love the he/she gives you. That is so amazing to see - it warmed my heart beyond anything you can imagine seeing the love between you two.

    Watching your video was like taking a cozy stroll through the heartwarming process of crafting a beautiful log cabin. Your skills were truly enchanting, inviting me to become a part of the magical evolution of this splendid home.

Your grandson has a great papa to share memories with thank you.

    I was a senior estimator for many years. You certainly know your trade and built this cabin the way I wanted. No cutting corners. I like the fact you used 2"x12" for the ceiling so you could put some thick insulation to increase the R-Factor. I've built a log home for a friend. His ceiling was a tongue and groove 2"x6" reveal. Then we built a secondary roof over the tongue and groove separated by 2"x4" so insulation was sandwiched in-between both. I wouldn't recommend anyone taking on a project like that. The logs will settle so the kitchen cabinets were mounted onto a floater wall. Thomas Dutkiewicz

    While building a cabin is impressive, achieving world peace is a much more complex and challenging issue that requires the cooperation of nations and individuals around the globe. While individuals can work towards promoting peace in their own communities and spheres of influence, it will take a collective effort to achieve true world peace. Nonetheless, it is inspiring to see individuals using their talents and skills to create positive change, whether it be through building a cabin or working towards a more peaceful world.
