Off-Grid Alaska Cabin Foundation Repair in Port Protection

Phase 2 of this off-grid cabin repair… and now we’re working underneath it. With the structure still out of level, this step is all about building temporary posts to hold the house in place while we prepare for the real foundation reset. No waiting on perfect conditions—just getting under there and figuring it out. Most of this work happens after sunset. Headlamps on. Ocean waves in the background. Tools, mud, concrete, and whatever materials we can haul in from the surrounding area. Out here, plans change fast. No trip to the store. No easy resupply. So we improvise, borrow, scrounge—and keep moving. In this phase: Setting temporary posts and beams to support the structure Pouring initial footers and working with bedrock when we find it Hauling salvaged timbers through the woods when weather shuts down other plans Prepping the structure so we can safely reset the original foundation This isn’t the final fix… It’s what holds everything together while we get there....Stay tuned for more. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Back Under the House 00:40 Phase 2 Begins 01:30 Finding Footing in the Dark 03:30 Bedrock Discovery 05:30 Changing the Plan 07:00 Hauling Materials the Hard Way 10:00 Setting Temporary Posts 13:30 Concrete & Footers 17:30 Chaos, Jacks & Progress 22:00 Ocean in the Background 26:00 End of Day Setup 29:00 What Comes Next
