Builds New Cabin
After finishing seventh in the Iditarod in 2018, Jessie Holmes shifted his focus on building a new cabin for himself as well as his 40 sleddogs.
The home that he lived in at that time in 2018 was over 40 years old. Hence, intending to build a safer home, he dedicated his 2018's summer to shape a new cabin for himself and his racing pups.

"I built a lot of nice houses for a lot of people with a lot of money. My goal is to build myself as nice of a cabin as I built for those people. I deserve that and I want to up my living conditions to where I can feel at peace in my house."
As of 2020, Jessie and his pups are already settled in their new cabin/home.
