It was my intention tonight to set up a time lapse at the cabin tonight for the Aurora. But the skidoo wouldn’t start in the cold. #CabinLife #Nunavut

My view this afternoon while transferring heating fuel. #cabinLife #Nunavut

A view from beside an Arctic cabin. A corner of a front deck can be seen lit from a hidden light. A corner post goes up to an overhanging roof. Beyond is frozen ocean and beyond that dark hills. Along the horizon is a pale orange separated from a graduated blue sky by a thin cloud.

My FIL built his cabin entirely with reclaimed wood. And that is fricking awesome. But it also provided challenges in our renovation of it.

This wall had, um, flaws. So we decided to add some 1x3s and make it a feature wall. Primed and awaiting a couple coats of paint and trim and baseboards. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Wall of a cabin. It has vertical boards ever 16” and has been painted with white primer. A small stepladder stands before a window in the middle of the frame.

Dammit, I’ve got to dig out the ladder and get that thing unstuck from the antlers. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Cabin at night. An outside light illuminates the outside front of the cabin. Above the hill a bright full moon shines. The moon is positioned at the ends of caribou antlers mounted to the peak of the cabin roof.

The latest upgrade to the cabin. The wind turbine has been installed. The weather is crazy warm here. -4 this morning. -7 last night when I got the turbine up. Which made it great for my hands, but this is January in the high Arctic. #CabinLife #Nunavut

The hope is that this will lessen the reliance on the generator during the dark season until solar can take over.

A flash photo in the dark showing a wind turbine atop a pole. Several heavy rocks are on the base of the pole. Did I mention they were heavy.

My in-laws planned to stay at their cabin last night so I went to make sure they had power. Storming pretty good, or at least very windy. Walked through a big drift to our cabin and 15 mins later my tracks had blown in. Video doesn’t really convey it.

Trip to the cabin this afternoon to charge the battery. But a high tide saw a flooded shore (right up into the river) and warm temps meant it wasn’t frozen yet. Went out again this evening but plans to work on the in laws cabin went out the window. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Four cabins on the shore of a frozen Arctic Ocean. One has an outside light on the others are in darkness. An obscured fullish moon hangs over snow covered mountains. The edge of the ice has a band of water against the shore.

2:30 am, back from my fourth? fifth? trip to the cabin. Good news it’s warmed up, -31 now. But a working generator is in place and one less thing to worry about. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Another selfie of an old white guy dressed in a fur trimmed parka. His cheeks are red, his moustache and goatee are frosted, a tear is frozen to his glasses.

Cold out there. Generator problems, but I finally got one going. Charging the battery a bit before I try and get some heat into the in-laws cabin so then I can get their battery charged. Then I’ll get back at their new flooring. -33 is hard on everything. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Bit of an unusual sighting this afternoon. On our way to the cabin we noticed a bright star that I first thought was Venus, but it was too high. Suddenly it got very bright, and then just as quickly faded to a dim point of light. #CabinLife #nunavut
