Building Alaska - Season 1 (2012)

A sub-contractor fails to show up for weeks pushing Bob further behind schedule. Meanwhile, Bob and his brother Rick contend with some furry troublemakers of the job site that are chewing through hoses, cables, and grocery bags.

Living this far off the grid, you need to be self-sufficient, whether using recycled oil, or installing hydro and wind energy systems. The insulation delays continue as Bob May waits for a delinquent subcontractor.

Bob May gets the cabin completed just before his first paying customers arrive. Furniture and other items are installed at the last moment. He works 16-hour days, goes over budget, but ends up with the cabin of his dreams.
