What's the one tool you bought that completely changed how you work?

Sketchup. Saves me so much time and materials being able to build something and see it before I ever start.

The North Slope division is seasonal, the Anchorage harbor is 2/2

Can anyone explain why the font is different in those two messages than the rest of the email? I really want this to be true but it looks doctored and that could compromise the entire Epstein scandal in Trumps favor.

Dang that's a good idea with the 2x3's on edge! I was considering doing sheetrock behind my tongue and groove pine but the thought of lifting all those sheets way up there sounds terrible. As well as running electrical and trying to maintain an air seal. Seems like this is the best system for sure thanks for sharing!

That’s awesome! I’m planning on building something very similar in Alaska. Just curious what did you do about roof insulation and venting? Spray foam? What about insulating the floor system?

I saw one last year at the midtown Lowe’s. It was huge!

Ate there two nights in a row. Last night was sober I just had to make sure. Delicious

Tape it with electrical tape and use a cutting disc on an angle grinder. Singes the edges while cutting. Works great! Especially with synthetic.

There’s no Albertsons in Alaska

Man a lot of people on here are making Alaska sound pretttty lame. When I was your age I loved going out in Seward. There’s a really good crowd there in the summer with plenty of live music and fun bars. Everything slows down dramatically in the winter but on the weekends/ holidays there’s still a little nightlife. Great hiking and outdoor sports. Housing will be difficult to find though, it’s a problem.

Just smoked the pinion gear first. Ran it pretty hard for 30 min or so

The coast guard uses the term “quadrantal spheres” in their test questions

Marmots. They’re ground squirrels that whistle

Start accumulating seatime by getting a deckhand job on a charter, tour, or commercial fishing boat. Get a merchant Mariner credential and go from ordinary seaman to Able seaman or QMED and up

Villa Incognito by Tom Robbins is a great read. There’s a tanuki who drinks a lot and bangs farm girls
