A bit of deconstruction 

As this was a finished cabin, rather than a shell package, I did have to take apart a few things for the set-up I wanted.  First of all, of course, was to install the breaker box ( a sub box to the one on the pole ).  And while this picture is well beyond that point, it's still a good indication of the construction of this cabin.  It's based upon the Canadian envelope system, so for the most part, other than the entry point for the electric service, and any exterior outlets or fixtures, breaching the already installed insulation and vapour barrier was not necessary.  The cabin is rough cut 2x4 construction, with vapour barrier over the insulation, but then the walls are furred out by another 3/4 inch (the width of a 1 by board) and then 3/4 inch thick tongue and groove spruce provides the interior wall.  Outlets in most cases (except those that needed to be against a stud could be cut out type boxes affixed to the 3/4 inch spruce without any need to craft a pocket in the vapour barrier.  The large board on the wall was to provide a mounting anchor for the microwave that was to go over the stove and not needing to be concerned with where studs would line up.

While it might seem like this was all a haphazard seat of the pants figure it out as we go along project, in actuality, I had been working on plans from the start.  I had even sent home depot over to North Pole to measure out the cabin while it was still being used as an office and work up a kitchen cabinet plan with me as they had a deal where you paid $50 or $60 dollars on the measure and estimate, but then got that as a reduction on the cabinet order, so a few more hands double checking my measurements and drawings.  It also helped greatly when I did make changes.  For example, I had originally planned to put in a two burner cooktop, which I had ordered, and had bought an over the stove microwave/convection oven.  But as I reconsidered selling my existing range or finding another use for it, that eliminated 30 inches from the cabinet design and very easily the adjustments could be made to the estimate.  (As I had envisioned putting a kitchenette in the other cabin on the property, I wasn't at a loss as to what to do about the cooktop)

This does bring up some observations from over the years.  I really rarely do ever use more than one burner at a time, and when I do most often it never is more than two.  I actually could use the extra counter space more than having four burners on the top of my stove.  As for the above the range microwave with convection, it's a fine size for a microwave, and of course having it on the wall saves much space, but using the convection heat bakes any splatters onto the walls and the turntable, and for some things it does limit the size of what could be baked.  Now much of this is a moot point when the wood fired cookstove is installed, and for many the size of the oven would not be an issue, but for some things I do like the flexibility of the additional space and of course the self cleaning aspect to the electric range is a great convenience.  When the cookstove is installed, though, I will leave the electric stove in place and should I determine that I can get along without it (winter and summer) then I could replace it with a 30 inch cabinet that I do have have placed elsewhere that I could easily replace with another project I have in mind for the space.

All during this period of running different electrical circuits and well through the winter, I was making trips back and forth to Fairbanks picking up supplies, the cabinets as I needed them, and whatever I needed from the old place, or could fit in beyond what was needed to continue, and for the most part I spent about a week give or take on either end, working on the new cabin, storing things either in the shed or the other cabin that would be in my way, and back on the other end shopping for or picking up materials, and packing up things from the cabin up there to be brought down.  A few times I stayed longer at one end or another if the temperature dropped too much, as I tried to limit the travel to when it was around 20 below or warmer, and only if really necessary if it was approaching 30 below, so if we got a cold snap I would just stay put.  Of course on two occasions I got back to the goldhill cabin only to find out that the heat had gone out, something that had I been there at the time I could have attended to, but I'll go more into detail about that situation at another time as it was a combination of factors most beyond my control that lead to those incidents.

By the beginning of December I was ready to hook up the main power lines and all that was left to do once that connection was made between the new sub-box at the cabin and the main breaker box on the pole was to unplug the extension cord powering the original circuit, reverse the outdoor plug into an outlet for another use (I later reused that line to run temporary power to the other cabin until the main could be run over there as well) and hook that last circuit into the new system.
