River Trip
I went up the Chatanika River today to install the metal roofing on a semi-remote cabin. What a great day to be on the river. The fish were jumping, ducks everywhere, and several moose tried to outrun the river boat. Definitely a nice change of pace from working near town.
It’s a cute 3-sided log cabin on a nice section of river. My only hangups were that I wanted to install the roof jack now for the chimney, but they were not ready to do so, and I would have liked to install just one run of metal roofing, but we went with a length that easily fit in the boat. Still, it was installed in one day, looks sharp, and no more tarp over the roof.
Not a bad day here in Interior Alaska.

Find the Copperhead
Other than the rumor of the existence of garter snakes in the Southeast, Alaska does not have a snake population. But when you’re hiking about down south, it does pay to watch that next step…
