Alaska is definitely not for the weak. Much respect.

I watched the whole video from my Florida couch, and I am literally exhausted. I cannot imagine what you must be feeling, Timmy. Your patience is unbelievable. Keep pushing until the build is finished because Mother Nature in Alaska is just testing you!

[JohnYoung-lsdd]

no one can say Timmy is lazy, he never stops until he’s done doing what he has to do . great videos. Fr Canada 🇨🇦

[tiffanyevans]

The patience he has.. powers out, my snow blower batteries dead, other snow blower broke a pin, later another part broke on same blower, expensive camper top collapsed, can’t use the boom, I would’ve been cursing and screaming the whole time🤣 …

[imscanon]

Yikes. I think if I had to have a snowblower stored on my roof, I'd be building an A frame instead. That's wild.

As a Norwegian i am not that worried about 3 feet of wet snow, what worries me is the fact that often after a heavy snowfall there is a coldspell and then you are stuck with 3 feet of concrete....

[neva.]

Whoa! That's insane!
Thank you for taking the time to record and share it with us!
Glad the damage is minimal.
Good luck with the finishing of your house. It looks awesome!

Growing up in the Poconos in Pa, I've been through some brutal winters, massive snowfalls and climbing out of second story windows to shovel snow.
That was in the 60s. Now retired in Florida, I wouldn't trade my swimming pool, my outdoor cooking area and tiki bar or any of my boats for that nasty weather ever again. It is hauntingly beautiful and quiet after a massive snowstorm though. Enjoy your youth, it doesn't last forever.

im in florida now since 2004. watching this reminded me of the last snow storm i had in new york to dig out from between 3 & a half to 4 feet. 12 hours out there to do vehicles driveways & 350 feet to main road.. im almost 60 now cant imagine i could handle it.. enjoy your youth & strength 🙏💒 be safe.
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🏡

One of the hardest working dudes on YT!! Way to keep a level head & not get too frustrated. Great work!

[juneschwierjohn]

Wouldn't a steep metal roof on your cabin been a better solution for handling deep heavy snow? Most would just slide off and you'd only have to plow the ground. In Michigan during a heavy snow we went out every couple hours to clear snow so there wasn't that much to do all at once. A back and heart saver.

All men and not made like this, Wow what an incredible and amazing young man❤❤❤

[glennakam]

900 sq./ft. deck x 2.5 feet x 20 lbs. per cubic ft. = 45, 000 lbs. of snow. Most likely more... Glad you built a strong building. Warm up and keep safe. Happy holidays to you as well 🎅🎄

It may be a Royal pain and destructive but look at the view from the doorway looking out over the land. Stunning

We had a freak Blizzard hit the San Bernardino mountains last winter where over a dozen people lost their lives. There hadn't been a storm this bad in over 40 years. I think we got 12-14 feet of snow fall in 5 days and the second storm hit and dropped another 4-6 feet. My cabin has a steep metal roof, but as the snow melted and slid off it ripped off the smokestack for my chimney. The supports for the deck were bowed from the weight, even though we tried shoveling, couldn't keep up it was relentless. I was out with my truck digging out elderly and disabled people with a team of volunteers for weeks afterward. I feel your pain. That storm gave people PTSD. You should've seen the UHauls in the spring with all the people that fled this small mountain community

[metal_horses]

Charge those batteries and store them inside (Room temp). You'll get better performance out of them. Love the channel!

[chrisharmon]

I found this interesting, because here in the mountains in California our gas stations have generators as do our grocery stores and most of the houses because our power goes out all the time sometimes for more than a week at a time. I wouldn’t of thought we are more prepared than Alaska for snow or power outages lol

[gormanthomas]

Sir, you’ve got the makings of a million dollar YouTube channel. Super fun to watch!

[stevedenoyer]

Amazing over night like that. We had a storm in 1978 probably before you were born, snowed like 60” overnight. 4.5 days our roads were snowed shut. No power luckily we had a fireplace kept the house warm. Melted snow for water. It was fun as a kid I was like 11 at the time. Northern Michigan. Never had one that bad since. Have had 30” overnight since but nothing even close.

[maryusa]

I was wondering why you built a flat roof. I know you wanted a deck, but it makes it hard in the winter. Hope it brings you joy in the summer 😊
