Thank you, Matt! I don't think the fix I made out there is a permanent solution, but it's better to have something under the corner of the cabin than nothing. We appreciate you watching!

It looks like you're getting nowhere by digging, you probably have a spring nearby. I think I'd consider putting the cabin down on logs or timbers running N-S to increase your surface area. Those pillars are just too much concentrated weight in that soup hahaha. Looks like a fun project either way! I'm curious to see what full day #2 brings! -Dusty

Thank you, Dusty! You'll see in future videos. I did increase surface area, although not with logs. At this point, I've accepted the fact that I made a temporary fix; something under the corner of the cabin is better than nothing. However, I'll definitely need to take some advice like yours from the comments and work a more permanent solution in the future. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Your use of the sling blade really really need training. Being Black American and born in the 60s, that was modern technology that we used to cut grass. In my late 50s I still use it today for daily workouts. Keep it up, you will build your shoulder, abdominal, and cardio up.

Thank you! It will be interesting, but I fear not permanent.. Especially after talking with one of the full-timers out there. Regardless, having a bit of support under that corner of the cabin is far better than nothing. I'm learning more about building, filming, Alaska, DIY, and so many other things with every trip out there!

You need a good gas powered weed whacker. That is a serious problem with the water pooling in that spot.I hope the cabin is sinking or leaning over to one side. I am very sure you will have this problem fixed in no time. Cheers my friend

You're on side of the hill and water runs downhill. There is a high water table in your area. You must dig down in the ground approximately 6 feet away from the house and trench all that soil away and put in leaching pipe that will take the water away from your foundation
@OhashiOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
Similar to a french drainage system? Dig in on the uphill side of the cabin so the water seeps into the leaching pipes and gets diverted away from the cabin? That is great knowledge, and another large project to add to the list. Thank you!

Ultimately, moving the cabin may be the only real lasting option. Whether that entails partial disassembly or moving as a whole skidding it on roller logs via winch&chain/straps….being that close to the lake/pond, you’re pushing a wet noodle uphill with a marshmallow in trying to abate ground moisture. I truly enjoy the updates and progress, is your wife eager to visit soon? Your little son will undoubtedly enjoy it…..

"Pushing a wet noodle uphill with a marshallow..."🤣 That's not far off from how it actually felt, great analogy! Talking with a local out there, their cabin is actually creeping closer to the lake every year just due to the terrain and freeze/thaw cycle. I feel our cabin may be doing something similar. Thank you for watching and commenting with such great advice and humor! And yes, my wife is excited to visit the cabin for the first time! Sadly, that may be a few more years. Tickets for 3 from Tokyo to Anchorage are quite expensive.. We may have to wait until we are all state-side before making it a family adventure. The future is uncertain though, maybe we can make something work out sooner!🤞

Thank you! I got the hip waders from Gander Mountain when I was on the east coast about 10 years ago. The next pair I plan to get, and recommend is LaCrosse ankle fit hip waders. That's what most of the back country hunters and bush pilots wear out there. There are no poisonous snakes native to AK, so I'm not worried about that or know if the waders are snake bite proof. All of my videos are filmed in Alaska, with the exception of the footage traveling to/from AK. Thank you for watching!
