Episode 509 - Remote cabin building in interior Alaska

In this episode Margaret Stern tells about her experience building a remote cabin in Interior Alaska—buying land sight unseen, living in a teepee, sourcing and milling local timber, and improvising foundations and finishes in extreme conditions. She also discusses a new lakeside property, plans for a timber-frame sauna as phase one, tool recommendations, community support in Talkeetna, and practical considerations like water, foundations, and wildlife. This is a repost from last year since cabin building is taking up most of my headspace and people have been asking about builds around the state.
