Off Grid Alaska: Our Water Froze at -11° and Then a Foot of Snow Hit

Описание: We're so close to finishing our off grid cabin addition in Alaska — but this week, Alaska had other plans. Our water froze overnight, two snowstorms rolled through, and subzero temperatures kept threatening to shut us down. But with nine people all pushing toward the same finish line, we weren't stopping.

In this episode we're fixing frozen pipes, mudding drywall, painting, shoveling and clearing snow, running from moose, hanging trim, installing doors, building a loft ladder, and finally — finally — moving in.
