Anyone in the Anchorage, Alaska area aware of any stores that might sell chinking material?

I currently live on a remote island with terrible internet and no phone service, so finding information is near impossible. I thought I'd try here for any AK residents. I leave for Anchorage in a couple weeks, then fly out to my remote property the next day. I'm on a tight schedule, so trying to plan ahead.

I am not in the Anchorage area, but I see that Spenards Building Supplies sells perma chink. Let me know if you are looking for a different product and I can ask around for you.

I have not bought what you are looking for, so just spitballing here, but try SBS like Alaskajohn suggested or Superior Logs.

homesteadalaska, do you still have your property out near Skwentna? Just curious of how that is going.

AlaskaJohn, thanks for the information. I work at a remote fishing lodge and am busy 24/7, so it’s hard to get time to plan my cabin build. I finally got some phone service on the boat one day, and I took your recommendation and found some permachink at SBS. I’m excited to get rolling. I still have the property near Skwentna and plan on building a cabin in just a few days, once I’m done with fishing season. I don’t have a lot of time before the first snowfall, but I do have 8 guys coming to help. Last year, I was able to clear off a new spot, and cut about 100 logs 16’ long and 2’ in diameter. Should have a good supply of timber to get a structure built. I hope to post some pictures here. Thanks again for the help—saved a lot of headache.

How big an area (width of gaps). The LHBA has a nice way of doing it. Using insulation, many small nails, mesh and mortar.
