Quantum Tech HD

A family of seven, an RV, and a patch of Alaskan forest. Follow the Millers as they build their dream log home from start to finish, facing heavy rain, deep snow, and freezing temperatures along the way.

After leaving Montana for Wasilla, Alaska, Joas and Priscilla join forces with their five children to create a home of their own. With years of log-building experience, Joas leads the project while the kids learn beside him, tackling everything from the foundations and massive timber shell to the finishing details that make the house theirs.

Watch enormous logs lifted into place, a roof sealed against the approaching winter, and an empty shell transformed into a warm family home. Along the way, discover clever construction techniques, handmade concrete countertops, and personal touches created by the family themselves.

Through muddy setbacks, snowy workdays, and moments of laughter, this is a story of craftsmanship, determination, and a family building their future together.

What does it take to turn a handful of trees from your own backyard into a building you can actually use? Sam Macy sets out to answer that question by constructing a small barn from the ground up, beginning with the trees themselves and working through every structural decision by hand. Instead of relying on a conventional kit or a ready-made frame, he uses locally harvested logs as the backbone of the build, combining traditional roundwood construction with modern materials and techniques.

But raising a barn from raw timber means solving one problem after another: irregular logs have to become a precise structural frame, the building has to survive changing seasons while still unfinished, and every new layer has to work with what came before it. As the project progresses, rough forestry, timber framing, carpentry and practical workshop design begin to converge into something far more ambitious than a simple backyard outbuilding.
