建造阿拉斯加第五季（下） P5 - Building Alaska S05E10_Alaskan Mobile Home.UMMU.NET.mpeg4.aac

阿拉斯加南部最佳位置 之前在建造阿拉斯加 我們可以看到我們在哪裡 但是我們無法看到其他人的位置 濃厚的霧水不足以阻止 Dave和Hans離開他們的建築 稍微調整一下 調整一下 我們不會做到 但是他們搭乘的船艙越高 不是最好的線 階梯越高 好 目前這個系統正在運作 我恨不得說 但我們真的需要船長Steve And over on Adam's build We're super duper lucky And we scored A borrowed bag of concrete finished the last of the footers Let it rip And with the outhouse fired up It was time to get back to the log yard We finish these gable ends Nobody gets cut or hurt That's a huge relief Get on I like that Perfect And over at Eaglesong The first step is to decide which log is going to go where Mike was able to stack all the log walls Repetitious but rewarding But when it came to the framing The wood he intended to use from his front deck I don't like what I'm starting to see Turned out to be rotten I'm forced to stop and deal with it It's back to Alaska And this time the stakes are personal The land here is trying to kill you all the time That's what makes it fun With family legacies on the line At this point if a fire started here We would pretty much lose everything Three teams risk it all To carve out their homes In some of the most unforgiving wilderness On the planet In remote Alaska Brutal forces can crush man and machine But with sheer determination and guts These men lead their teams on a mission I love my job, I love my job This is Building Alaska This is home And the only way I'm going to leave here Is in a pine box Since the dawn of time Humans have used countless rituals To help ward off unpredictable dangers First by keeping a fire Then through traditional dances And the christening of new ships For builders in 8th century Scandinavia Good luck came with the topping out ceremony Still practiced on build sites around the world With the raising of the highest beam And on the biggest build day of Adam's career He hopes it has already worked its magic Tree is in the way Cause the ceremonial tree has got to go You can take that tree off Tree gods can bless us again When we put it back up We'll stick it back up When we get it put back together again Some kind of good luck thing That log builders do Having set the last log On his 400-square-foot legacy cabin The Chaffet brothers Need to completely dismantle it Piece by piece For the long 14-mile haul Up to the build site Our main goal is to organize The disassembly of this structure now I'll set my short stuff on this Old pallet That'll be good for little gable end pieces I'm not sure if we can reach both gables But we'll give it a try from right there But before any logs come down It's Jason's job to make sure All the logs are marked According to their place in the stack Remember all the sanding we did To get lines off Now we're drawing them all over the place One misplaced log Could mean tearing down and starting over We'll hope that those guys up on the roof Know what they're doing That looks like Chinese to me I don't even know what that means But hopefully Jason does Wow If there's a plus sign on the end Of every one of the logs Going up on the front end And nothing else on the other Then at least we know They're pointing that way Perfect But a cryptic labeling system Is not Adam's only concern At this point each log Is a piece of the puzzle Every one of them Is made to fit to the other So if you broke one or something You'd have to just Have an ugly broken log in your cabin Ready Yep First off Is the 35 foot 900 pound behemoth You can just bring the end Straight on back here The ridge pole Can't see right into the sun Grab the king post now All right Yeah, I can't see What's going on in there 355 miles southeast It's been three months Since Dave and Hans Laid their first log round I wonder if this is our post For our ridge And with the cabin Now standing 18 rounds high That translates to Nearly half a mile of logs They have lifted I'm gonna go up my shoulder Pushed Okay Dragged and cajoled Onto their shelter island getaway But today just as they get ready To start the highest And most difficult round Is that Steve We heard rumor You were a little blind So we've come out To help for the day Oh, no way Yeah Their client and best friend Steve Surprises them with a visit We're gonna take a little break And help you guys for the morning Or however long we can here I thought that Steve Was just here for an inspection And it turns out That they're here to work You know, I mean It makes a big difference And I'm really happy about it It's a good time For you to come out Yeah, no, it looks good Awesome Floor choice for the loft you're in That's cool And while Steve designed the cabin He's not an architect And his roughed out sketch Left a lot of room for interpretation Oh, it's perfect I think the height came out perfect Well, we're still trying to Decipher the napkin drawing To decide on how many logs to go up Yeah, well, you know There's only so much room on a napkin The napkin is getting kind of short, so We're designing this place all the time Steve's got this napkin sketch That we're kind of going off of And, you know, yesterday We had to stop for 45 minutes And figure out if we needed To get the ridge pole up now Before the walls got any higher You have to stop and plan And that takes time Steve's just in time To approve the decision To go just 4 rounds high In the loft area We were wondering whether you wanted 4 or 5 logs over the loft You know, right now We're about 24 inches up On 3 logs Yeah, I can already feel 4 logs Oh yeah, that's perfect, you guys That looks great Awesome You ready to lay some logs? I want 1 at 10 foot Routered at one end Okay Okay, hold on right there Ledge it up Okay, there we go Hey, I need another roll of foam tape Yeah, the low man on the totem pole is back You ready up there? I did not want to have to do this today It's just disintegrating This was not part of my game plan Everybody's getting a little crazy right now There's about 70 pieces To this log cabin to move It's just a lot of pieces With up to 50% of a remote builder's budget Consumed by transporting supplies To their build site It's no wonder that what gets to the bush Stays in the bush That's a necessity And whenever possible Use what you have on hand Over and over again Repurposing is so important Because you don't have to Go to town as often and stuff To get new things Or have to spend more money Because money is always an issue But this time The deck beams Mike had hoped to salvage I did not want to have to do this today Are decayed and cannot be reused The beams are rotten They need to be replaced We'd hoped for good Didn't work out that way You see how much of that's fallen apart And it's just disintegrating I don't think my dad thought it was this bad Or at least he was hoping it wasn't this bad Mike is building a 384 square foot Log and frame style cabin In south central Alaska That will sleep up to four guests comfortably The four rounds of logs are up But the framing will have to wait The rotten exposed deck Is now a safety threat And must be fixed immediately Just about everything That comes and goes out of here In the summertime Goes across that deck To or from a float plane Does that delay the cabin Yes it delays the cabin Does that frustrate me Absolutely The question now becomes Do they just replace a few bad beams Or rebuild it entirely We could do it with two by Rather than beam It's one option I don't like that option Because I'm afraid it'll pull apart With all this movement With the lake freezing And all the movement that there is here We're going to remove the whole thing It doesn't make sense to just replace The worst beams And then probably in three to five years The others are going to go bad And so now I've got good decking On bad framing I just in good conscience I can't do it Mike's good conscience Just put his cabin build on hold indefinitely The problem we're going to run into Is we've got to unbolt all this Exactly Hit it from the bottom son Knock it up There you go To fully repair this dock We need a total of nine more beams I don't think we have the saw logs On the ground that we need To mill all of these beams One of those may mean We have to go out and cut another tree And bring that in And that's a couple hours work Last good time That probably means two more days Before we get back to putting up the new cabin Over at the Wrangell Mountains It's been four long months Since Adam and his brothers broke ground But his dream of building a legacy cabin Goes back a lot farther than that This has been one of my dreams for 15 years And I finally have the resources And the manpower to put it together It's now or never I don't want to wait another 15 years Adam intends his cabin to stand For at least another 100 years But first it has to make it Through the next few days There's about 70 pieces To this log cabin to move It's just a lot of pieces With the 900-pound ridge pole Safely on the ground Everybody's getting a little crazy right now The attention now is on the 69 remaining logs And staying true to Jason's mysterious labeling system Denver and I kind of left up To Martin and Jason Because they were on the walls And the first few coming off Were their mysteries, Egyptian Are you guys marking these logs And you got it mapped out You know, oh yeah, we got it And I have yet to understand A few of the symbols 2 1⁄2-inch round electrical holes Are drilled into the logs For outlets and switches All the holes have to be drilled In the correct spots I got to focus on getting All that dialed in So when we stack it All your wires end up with power in them But the day is getting away from them And mistakes are being made We're getting to drill holes And marking logs But we're going to push on And see if we can get it Knocked out today On the ground, Adam's brother Jason Is stressing about his role As truck whisperer Jason, he's a major fabricator Very good mechanic Valuable to the whole team They keep calling me a mechanic I keep telling them I'm not I like to figure things out And do it myself Instead of pay somebody else To do the same thing But I still am not I'm not certified So I'm not a mechanic Brakes are an issue I always have been with that truck The brakes are a little bit grabby If it stalls out With a big load on it And wants to roll back down the hill That's not a good thing With over 25,000 pounds of logs Decking, flooring, and roofing materials Failing brakes would be a catastrophe We can't change the brake shoes Because we don't have any units To take half the day But we can adjust them a little bit The 14-mile journey From log yard to build site Includes 12 miles On the famously unstable McCarthy Road McCarthy Road is part of a railroad That used to start in Cordova And went all the way to Kennecott Everybody knows it's rough I've heard rumors That rental car agencies Won't allow their vehicles To come out here The truck, we don't actually Have spare tires for it I'm hoping that all the air Stays in there For the rest of the job And then there's the load itself It'll be a tall load More than a wide load So top-heavy is an issue It's an old vehicle It's got old tires on it And we're gonna have heavy loads And mechanical failure Is always our greatest weak link here We'll be framing the floor tomorrow If not, it's my bad You liking that? I do I'm saving their day I don't know how the hell You're saving our day We're building the place for free It's about as gray a day As you can get up here And that's where My frustration comes in This is gonna take an hour This is gonna take four hours This is gonna take five hours Over on Shelter Island OK, you got something Right on, Steve Yeah The return of their client Steve After a several-week fishing hiatus Has Dave and Hans scrambling To utilize every second Of extra hands they can I'm saving their day Getting them set up for tomorrow So... Saving our day I don't know how the hell You're saving our day We're building the place for free Oh, yeah We finish up this course And we're done with logs I got my notepad Yeah, it's light So I want one at exactly 10 feet Router both ends OK Once the final log round is up They won't need to add Any exterior siding or sheetrock The beauty of the milled logs Is the finished product OK You liking that? I do With a little help, yes Progress has been much faster If Steve would quit fishing And come work on the cabin We'd be done by now The cabin would be considerably smaller If Steve wasn't fishing It'd be a little shack right here It'd possibly be like a tent While the last round of milled logs Is secured Nearly 600 miles away Over at Eaglesong We started off the morning dry and foggy The fog lifted Now it's starting to rain Summer is in the rearview mirror And Mike has, at best, three weeks Before the first snow I want to get the dock completed So we can move back over to the cabin I mean, it's all got to culminate And everything's done when the snow flies Pouring rain all day long And my feet are wet And my head's wet And it's about as gray a day As you can get up here Which has slowed us down considerably Dave and Mike have only replaced Four of the seven rotten deck beams And they still need to lay 14 rows of decking on top If we can get the beam work done today And the initial grid work I got this end Go take the back end out towards We'll burn maybe another day, day and a half Dealing with this And then get back to the cabin Where we're going to run into a problem now Is as the rain picks up How long we can work And keep our tools and all relatively dry Got sprinkles coming I don't know how long We're going to be able to work today out here And that's where my frustration comes in Is it just, you know, this is going to take an hour This is going to take four hours This is going to take five hours Everything, all of it is doable But it just takes away time And it's just time that I really don't have You guys ready to roll? We've got to gather up every item That we're going to need And transport it to the new site Alaskan mobile home We need this tree to hold up our ridge Kind of heavy Could bring your chainsaw winch in It's going to be a bit of a challenge Go behind the scenes And see what it's really like To build Alaska At DIYnetwork.com Slash Building Alaska We wrapped up the disassembly part yesterday Everybody was just whacked We made it through that So now it's like a whole new phase Stand back It's organized chaos At Adam Chabot's log yard We've got to gather up every tool Fastener, glue, item That we're going to need And transport it to the new site We'll load the truck up as much as we can With all the materials we need at this point And the first round of logs So we can get those set tonight I need to get these guys rallied up And then we're going to load the truck And hit the road We'll put the timbers on the outsides of the truck And then we'll put floor joists and decking I want to keep it all level So we can set the first round of logs on top And then the insulation bundles on that We're going to be very fully loaded First load is going to be all my floor ply Insulation for the floor The main beams that we built the cabin on here The deck material The front posts of the cabin that carry the cap logs So that comes today also With close to 25,000 pounds of materials Strapped onto the 36-year-old boom truck This maiden voyage out to the build site Is also a test That's a lot It's like seeing what the truck can haul And then looking at what we've got To divide it all into kind of equal weight portions Every trip we make Is going to have its own issues, I'm sure But this first one Is definitely going to tackle a lot of them Right there, set her down Perfect We'll get no more perfect than that We'll do strappage And lay the old boomeroo ski down That's everything we need for the floor system And the first round of logs And to bolt it down We're ready to rock and roll In the lead we'll have a Lincoln town car Convoy wouldn't be complete Without my Lincoln leading it You know, got to travel in style You guys ready to roll? All right, let's do this thing Alaskan mobile home We'll have Jason's hybrid hillbilly wagon On the back there with our little tool trailer It'll be quite a spectacle As Adam gears up for his 14-mile hillbilly haul Dave and Hans say goodbye to their help And set their sights upward to the roof We need this tree to hold up our bridge We have a two-piece bridge So I'm peeling the bark off of it Getting it ready The roof's going to be metal It's going to have a car deck ceiling Car decking is really thick tongue-and-groove boards That are going to make up the actual roof Underneath the metal The roof will need to be strong enough To support the weight of the rough Alaskan winters The 15-foot tree will stand vertically In the middle of the cabin And act as a center brace for the roof's ridge poles Before being attached to a loft joist There's just one problem With their helpers gone Dave and Hans have no idea How they will move the 500-pound log into place It's pretty heavy It's not like a two-man operation to pick it up Could bring your chainsaw winch in Kind of heavy It's going to be a bit of a challenge We could probably get our shoulders under it And get the whole thing done that way We don't really want to, though If we don't have to Until the chainsaw winch doesn't work Or we have problems with it We'll probably resort to that But for right now That's the way we want to do it A chainsaw winch is a portable winch That attaches to any standard chainsaw And can carry up to 8,000 pounds But the closest chainsaw is in Dave's tool shed In Juneau It's a three-hour run to town You know, back and forth And so it's a colossal waste of time But, you know, you can't prepare for everything Here's the big grand finale This one's going to be first gear and full throttle We are beginning framing Watch what you're doing We're in rock and roll mode today 232 miles east of Anchorage And traveling the only semi-paved road In the tiny town of McCarthy, Alaska It's a caravan of Chappets Carrying over 25,000 pounds of cabin uphill They're relying on a hodgepodge of vehicles That are collectively older Than all three brothers put together It's heavier than I thought it was With two hills under their belts Here's the big grand finale There's just one more steep incline to conquer We've got to try and get this load up this hill Those last two hills We're all the way down to first gear So this one's going to be first gear and full throttle Holy cow We made it Nice corner I smelled some burning oil I wasn't sure it was going to make it for a minute there That was slowing down on the corner Everything it had I mean, full throttle Holy cow If it was any heavier, it would have been a Go a corner and offload and bring everyone down Sweet, I'm stoked Break out the champagne I'm super, super happy right now This is the first load This is the one that we've been wondering about And it's just a great day now And then our 20-footer floor joists Can stack past that thing And stick out there quite a ways How many thousands of pounds of wood That we don't have to carry by hand here That's phenomenal I'll do that in a minute The fun's over, now the work begins Holy cow Now we've got to collect our thoughts And organize our tools And start slinging this floor Before the sun goes down That's a lot of work Let's throw some cribbing down And see if we can put logs right here For now And that will leave us enough room to get by still I would love to just go home and drink beer That would be my idea of a good day But time is ticking Be careful, it's liable to be a little weird We don't want to unload it all at once We can't consider it whipped yet We've got three more loads And anything that's possible That's far from over Okay, are you ready up there Yep Sweet While Adam and his team unload And rush to get a second load going Mike Williams and his team race to take advantage Of Mother Nature's good graces It's a beautiful day in Alaska We're absolutely trying to take advantage of the weather After two days of rain And a rotten deck kept Mike away from his bill He cannot afford to waste a second Forecast for another storm two days from now You know as they say Make hay while the sun shines We are beginning framing Of the upper half section of the cabin Four rounds of D-logs Make up the bottom half of the cabin Mike and Dave will frame the next four feet Adding insulation and batten board siding Framing is a fairly simple job You need a person cutting Two by eights in this case You need somebody putting them together Cody is doing some sanding And putting down the insulation In between the logs and the framework Mike's relying on a small 2,000-watt generator And inverter to power things up Now watch what you're doing Between the miter saw and the angle grinder Doing some sanding We can't run both of those The same time we trip the breaker on it So we're going to have to alternate When we're using this saw and that So the frame of the wall Is going to be with two by eight lumber Eight inches wide, two inches thick Because this is Alaska And we like to go big We go rather than a two by four Use a two by eight It also gives us the opportunity To put a full six to seven inches Of insulation in that wall Makes a huge difference come January When it's 45 degrees below zero These boards you may recognize From the horrible deck That we've spent the last couple days In the rain tearing up Wind up on my inside corner here Throw in eight inches of insulation On the inside of this You know, you could probably Keep this above freezing with a candle We're in rock and roll mode today Hey, let's get this stuff And get out of here Using up a lot of good time That we should be building Today we're going to try And get two loads in If they start rolling off Jump on the opposite side Oh yeah Watch out! All of our extreme builders Have their own style Of building in the bush As long as you respect The things that can happen Generally it works out okay Whether it be with a chainsaw I think it's one of the most Dangerous parts of the whole job A handsaw There you go, big Dave Or just old-fashioned muscle The hillbilly forklift But one thing they all seem To have in common It gives him high blood pressure Whenever he's in town And I'm not joking about that They all hate to shop Hey, let's get this stuff And get out of here Burning up time We don't have anybody To fill in in town And pick stuff up And run it out to us So that leaves it in our hands To gather all the parts and pieces And then take it all out to shelter Dave and Hans need to get A 500-pound center brace log That will support the roof Of their getaway cabin vertical And they're hoping A chainsaw winch can do the job If we're gonna use The chainsaw winch We can't set up the pole Directly with the chainsaw winch So we'll have to do it Indirect off of a pulley I think that's the animal That we want We just have a pile of stuff We gotta get together 184 and 38 Using up a lot of good time That we should be building But if we're in town Picking up parts Hey, thank you. Thanks a lot. We pretty much are at the point Where we just gotta keep going And get everything we need. Hey, we're in my shop. So we're looking for sawzall blades And picking up the chainsaw winch. It's kinda weird That we haven't used a chainsaw The whole time on a log building, But here we go. We're using a chainsaw. There's just one more stop on their list. We gotta get a hold of Paul During business hours. Paul Simpson is attaching the plates That will sit atop The adjustable metal rod At the top of the center beam. Looks good, Paul. Appreciate it. Thanks for doing that On short notice, as usual. We're running way behind schedule. All right, I think we're ready to go. We've got the last of the Parts and pieces we need. Now we're finally ready To head over to the island. While Dave and Hans hurry back To their build site on Shelter Island, It's been just 24 hours Since Adam's perilous maiden voyage To his build site. We made it. That was everything it had. And Adam is already stressing About trip two. The truck never did shift Very good yesterday. It's old and that linkage on that thing Is like Dr. Seuss invented it. I think it's just so old and worn That you gotta be really on top of it To find the next gear Otherwise you gotta slow All the way down, come to a stop, Start over again. With rain in the forecast... Is that five or six? Six. Adam needs to get the next load of logs To the build site as quickly as possible. Do we have enough room for one more? Yeah. Today we're gonna try and get Two loads in, I think. You gonna need a line? If he's up there, He can just grab this end. Trying to stack 25 logs per load If I can get that many on the truck. Isn't sitting on the lateral groove. There we go. Today we're gonna have A little bit taller of a load Than we had yesterday. Good. We got these boards across the tops To keep them from just piling up And it makes it easier To unload them with the hooks. So if the hooks land on anything, They're really hard to get out From underneath. I don't wanna just stack them Like one on top of another, So I'm gonna try and keep the boards In between them for a little added support. We don't wanna put too much force On these pegs on the sides 'Cause they're only so strong. Any further over or is that good? That's good. Is that six more? Seven. Nice. On this next batch, Maybe we should put like two long ones And then put some of these Little short ones together. The board dance. Yesterday we had density, Rough sawn boards packed tight together. That is a chunk of weight. Today it's just gonna be A whole lot taller And they're probably not gonna Ride quite as well Because they're not snug. Don't want that wacky on the head. As the pile of logs grows... It's getting pretty tall. Watch out. So is the danger. If they start rolling off, Jump on the opposite side. Oh, yeah. I would have liked to build A perfect pyramid there, But that's more than I had anticipated We could even fit on here. So hopefully now we can haul it. That's a lot of wood. A lot of wood. There's times when I wonder if I'm crazy. Damn. Okay. There, you can tighten it. Well, I'll just hop in And we'll hit the road. And I'll go behind you And call you if anything starts to fall off. Cool. Right now we're gonna cut this pole Then we're gonna try and stick it up. The biggest danger is that I don't get on the brake On the chainsaw winch fast enough. And then we'll have a runaway log Which is a little sketchy. After spending an entire morning in Juneau, Dave and Hans hope to finally have All the tools they need on site To start building the support for the roof. Right now we're gonna cut this pole to length And then we're gonna notch it To fit around the loft. Then we're gonna try and stick it up. We'll see how this goes. The guys call this log the center beam As it will sit in the middle Of the cabin and support The two 400-pound ridge poles. We chose to do a two-piece ridge pole 'Cause Steve wanted to work a log Into the design anyway. And the other thing is Half a ridge pole's a lot lighter Than a whole ridge pole, So, I don't know, It'd be fun to try it anyway. We'll use it for that log. But with just their small tractor on site And no additional bodies for help, The prep work is intense for the duo. You ready? We're a little ways. It all starts with setting up The pulley support beam. I'm gonna take this log inside. We're gonna stick it up on the walls. It's gonna go from across the building. And we're gonna screw it down to our walls. We'll attach our block to that, our pulley. And we'll use this to pull the log Into the building and stand it up. I'm just gonna go straight up. You ready? Tell me when. Hold on, hold on. This is a great warm-up for bigger things. All right, let me give her a test hold. Hold it right there. Yeah, I got it. All right. That's good. Got it? Yep. Okay. Go ahead and keep going. You got plenty of room. Okay. Do we want to stand it up Or do we want to run it flat? We want to stand it up. I mean, that's stronger that way. Yep. That's all we want. It's stronger. We'll run some mollies in the end. Now it's time for the chainsaw winch. It's just a chainsaw. You take the bar off. And this is a separate attachment. You bolt that to the chainsaw. The roughly $900 device is a great portable tool for hauling up to 8,000 pounds in weight. The motor runs the winch, and it's great for remote stuff because we can just throw some gas in it. But its lightweight design can make it dangerous to control. The biggest danger is that I don't get on the brake on the chainsaw winch fast enough or the brake can't hold the cable. And then we'll have a runaway log which is a little sketchy. The runaway log could cause damage to the cabin. It could cause damage to me or Hans, and it's part of the deal, you know? It's kind of a MacGyver-ish we-got-to-get-it-up kind of thing. I'm going to give this a shot. It might be faster. It might be easier. Who knows? It might not work. But it was worth a shot. Next time on Building Alaska... That doesn't get any less exciting as you do it over and over again. Adam and his brothers make the final and most harrowing ascent to the build site. Hopefully it won't surprise anyone with any tumbling logs. And build a monster floor. I like big wood. It just looks cool. But when the weather turns... Building in this kind of weather just sucks. So does Adam's game plan. I have to have a roof on this thing or I'm not going to get a roof on it this winter. So it's an hour and every deal. And over on Shelter Island... All right, here we go. Dave and Hans put the chainsaw winch... And themselves to the ultimate test. Hold up one second. Ugh, that's not good. It's a one-shot deal. So yeah, everybody's under a little bit more stress. And for Mike... Everything's being driven right now by the fact that in 4 days, I lose 5 people. It's measure once... Right now this rafter is riding high, which is a problem. Measure twice... We're not getting things to match up. Then measure again. Oh, great. We're out of the waterproofing. That brings that side of the building to an absolute standstill.
