BOOCHEVER, Chief Justice. OPINION. This matter is before us on a second appeal by Hewing, contending that the Alaska Workmen's Compensation Board's award, affirmed by the superior court, inadequately compensates him for permanent disability sustained as a result of an August 5, 1969 industrial injury. Initially, the Board awarded Hewing compensation for 25 percent permanent partial disability based on a finding of 25% loss of the use of the man as a whole and ordered a payment of $4,250.00 as lump sum compensation. We remanded for findings by the Board based on a measure of lost earning capacity rather than a measure of the purely physical injury sustained. On remand, the Board found that between June 30, 1970 and August 20, 1973, Hewing's wage earning capacity was so minimal that it could be considered to be zero. The Board, however, found that his earnings after August 20, 1973 from sales of items including used furniture and from barbecuing meat were in excess of $5,000.00 per year and thus more than $4,711.74, his highest earnings as a cement mason for any of the three years prior to his injury. The Board concluded that he had no loss of earning capacity after August 20, 1973. Hewing was therefore awarded compensation of $9,617.52 for the period to August 20, 1973. Deducted from this sum was the $4,250.00 previously paid as compensation for partial permanent disability so that on remand, the award was an additional $5,367.52. Hewing appeals contending that he is totally permanently disabled and that his minimal earning capacity falls in the odd lot category not altering his 100 percent disability status.
