Building Alaska

Hunting and fishing guide Bob May builds a cabin on a remote island in southern Alaska. But, before he starts, he must tear down the old, abandoned one.(S01,E01)

On a nearly-deserted island Bob must adapt as inferior lumber, changing weather conditions and an 11-foot brown bear cause havoc on the build site.(S01,E02)

Things are built differently in a state that experiences 100 earthquakes a day. Though the framing is completed, the five-month project takes its toll.(S01,E03)

A sub-contractor fails to show up at the jobsite for weeks, pushing Bob behind schedule. And, furry pests have chewed through hoses, cables, and grocery bags.(S01,E04)

Living far from civilisation, it's vital to be self-sufficient, from fishing to installing hydro energy systems. But, insulation delays continue for Bob.(S01,E05)

Bob rushes to complete the build before his first paying customers arrive. He works 16-hour days and goes over budget to make the cabin of his dreams.(S01,E06)
