Inside the Shack | Next |
The Shack is a very small Log Cabin. Is it liveable? Depends on your definition I suppose. There is no electric, but there is heat. It is also equipped with a propane stove, which I use to heat water for bathing/cleaning, and the oven has been used for baking. The roof is still sound but does leak during break-up and will need to be replaced within the next couple years. While sick during fall 2000 I stayed in the Shack (closer to the port-a-potty) for about a month and found it very livable. I've even considered making it my bedroom. It's not the Regency, but it's very very cozy and quiet! |
This little tiny cabin serves so many functions for me. It's a perfect little
guest room. I do not have running water, but I have four 55gal drums in here.
I get them filled about four times a year. (more about water!!) |
 I
used to go get water from the Fox, AK Spring myself in 5-7 gal jugs. So this
is a luxury for me. This is also my closet, my pantry, where I keep my tools,and in the winter - since it is heated - I keep my propane bottles for the grill and my batteries. |
 This
was one of my 'yard days'. The grass just can't grow fast enough for me!
I love my Craftsman lawn tractor. I still have to use a push mower to get to the tough stuff, and the weed eater for grooming. Alaska summers are unbeatable.... at least they are to me! |
Just LOOK at the amount of snow on that roof! Hoo-Ahh - and that is even afterwe had some freak 40 degree day in January that compacted the first four feet down a few inches!!!! My oil stove went out on me this winter. I ended up using an
electric space heater!!! $$$ |
