Ordering and Hauling Materials


After much research I eventually purchased panels from Imperial Manufacturing in Portland, which, according to their website, "manufactures a wide variety of super-insulated prefabricated structures from walk-in coolers and freezers to cold storage doors and highly insulated panelized buildings."    When you think in terms of physics and insulation, a sauna in the Alaskan winter is not all that different from a freezer in the summer.

The local (Alaska) contact for buying the panels was Jerry Haines.  You can email him here.

Arranging shipping took many phone calls, emails and faxes but eventually I picked the panels up with my son-in-law. Rama.


Then there were the hauling trips - 137 miles by road, and then 4 miles by snow machine - to our cabin site on the Nelchina River.






Thanks to Ulisses, Rama, Ellie and Kee 
for their hauling help!
