Building Alaska - Season 11 (2020)

Mike and Teresa Oldenkamp begin building their first floor walls, using an A-Frame winch they designed themselves to lift the second story support beams. However, when the winch begins to lift the beam, it becomes more dangerous than the Oldenkamps first realized. Paige and Cody use a boom truck to stack their log walls, forcing the team to work extra cautiously around the heavy beams swinging above their heads. Mike and Kathleen Kondus find a nasty surprise when they return to the bottom of the mountain for more supplies and the team back at the build site come to a ...
