So What Did I Miss ?

[wwracer]

Only been able to lurk around the site a time or two the past couple of years. Been working six to seven tens building this shop home in S. central AK... what a calamity. Couldn't have picked a worse time to build, OSB going for $75 a sheet, no romax to be found, nor any labor. Must have rained ten to twenty inches each month during both of the summers but I got through it. I can't afford to do chit cause I put my life's savings into this project, but hey, it's paid for. Well sort of, the borough tax assessor showed up last week, gonna be bending over this coming summer.

Welcome back that’s great any inside pics?

Particularly pics inside the garage doors! Thickened edge slab on grade? Not sure how they build them up there with the seismic activity.

WELCOME BACK old friend!

Thanks guys! Yeah, it turned out pretty good...It's sitting on 12 1/2 acres, I got a little carried away with the square footage, but you can't never have enough shop space. (2000sqft) It has 18' footers around the edges, and load bearing walls. I have a high-water table so we lifted the pad two ft above grade. Pretty good location, pretty consistent snow conditions, I have my hunting stand overlooking a meadow just past the trees in my backyard, and I have a semi-private trail that connects to the area trail system. About as far off the beaten path you can get and still have power, and get ice cream home before it melts lol

I missed your IP snow conditions updates, but last year the snow gods blessed my crew on each of our visits. So I’d say you missed an epic snow year!

Nice cabin build! Perhaps, now you can help educate us all on how we might be able to come enjoy the famous AK snow and not break the bank account.

Nice pictures and good snow

Welcome back. I did the same thing from 2018 - 2022 - but I built the house and started the shop when osb was under $8/ sheet. my dad always said “I’d rather be lucky than good“ haha

i could use a guide for a moose hunt

 

[wwracer]

Evidently so could I, getting a moose permit here in this game unit is practically impossible.
