Building
We began site work for Yukon River Lodge in May of 2006, starting out camping for the first summer until we were able to log spruce, mill logs into lumber using our portable sawmill, and build a cabin where we lived while building the lodge. In 2009 we finished exterior siding on the lodge and began working on interior projects ~ milling lumber for paneling, installing basic water systems and preparation for paneling walls.
