Largely, this channel now shows the process of building a timber frame house in the woods of Maine from the trees I have cut off the land and milled on various band sawmills. Once in a while I post something else, but building the house has been my occupation for several years now and will continue to be for a spell. I hope you enjoy what you find here.
Goldfinches in March Snow
The cat and I watch a pestilence of goldfinches devour seed on this lovely spring day of snow. Slow snow.

Vintage Dirt Bike in a Foot of Snow

The neighbor found this slightly derelict '73 Kawasaki on craigslist in the spring, bedecked with a rusty veneer and burdened with a sputtering cough. A prescription of elbow grease and carburator tinkering was just the ticket to bring the spunky little two stroke back from the brink of oblivion. A fine summer and fall of bombing down the dirt roads of Peacham, Vermont ensued, the buzzy engine ...

Building a House from Trees SE 8 EP 8 Sheetrocked! Quick Update
This is guy is so cool. Video got me so hyped to revamp my barn find 1980 gs450L
It’s an incredibly fun bike.
Nice video! How is the bridge holding up after 8 years?
@@olavre it’s a great question and one I was thinking about this past weekend. I should head up and check it out. I can’t imagine it’s doing all that well.
My brother had the sport model - the 1980 GS450S- but same engine. Lasted forever. Those are great engines.
Glad I found this video, trying to do ground up in a small but revitalizing downtown
Missing your videos would love to see what jobs you have been working
@@DB-fh7fl thank you for the kind words! I’ve been mostly doing managnent work on commercial jobs of late with little things around the house. I still intend to come out with a full two hour presentation of the whole house from trees project.

So Bus, are the adventures of Bus Huxley over or is there a sequel coming? Art from Ohio
You taught me some very good things here. I will make a similar thing on my land. TY.
Hey there Mr B. Late bloomer here. Im a little confused. Maybe i missed something but wondering how the Verizon commercial bldg came about? We are looking at building a small commercial bldg (first time) and came across your vid. Im like does he work for Verizon? How did that project come about? Thanks
I heard that!
Love this man. Love your skill and your patience. I been along for this ride from the beginning. Super impressive to watch. Hope all is well.
That perch 😍
Crazy how much that brightens it up. Beautiful work y'all!
We bought some metal "edge pull" handles that kinda hide the handles on top of the cabinets under our apron front sink and love them. Wonder if you could do something like that for the drawers out of scrap wood? And are those bird perches? Too cute!
I bought a new one in 1981 red , it a super fast bike !!! Blew away a lot of 500 and 650’s
Yes! I can’t believe it’s speed. I don’t go too fast on it often but it has a very good top end. It revs and revs!
I have just got one. But it's being a bit of a challenge. The engine runs well once hot. But cold starts a very lumpy lumpy.
Question from a noob: if not weather treated, won't those logs just rot?
It’s a good question and one you are correct about. It will rot but the hope is to get a decent decade if they’re peeled. Peeling helps keep bugs out and water from Accumulating.
Endless entertainment for the kitties watching the birds 😂
Did you use a ripping chain to cut that in half?
I didn’t. Just a sharp chain with stock angle. Wasn’t that big and it was June ish so the wood was soft and wet and thusly cut easily.
Loved the Video ! Going to be using your procedures on my recently acquired 1977 Suzuki GS 400 !! True Barn Find ! Been Sitting in Storage for the Last 20 Years !
I've got a 78 that's been sitting in a shed for over 10 years. Pretty sure it just needs the carbs rebuilt. Any tips?
Hi Bus, I'm Ruben and I live in La Paz, Mexico. I'm considering creating some hiking trails on some privately-owned properties that do not belong to me. I'm reaching out because I would like to seek your advice on this matter. My idea is to generate income by allowing customers to pay for using the trails. Additionally, I would like to formalize my work by signing a contract with the property owners. Could you suggest some important clauses to include in the contract or give me any advice regarding this? Thank you in advance for your help.
Kitty overloaded with stimulants 😊
Lot of hard work. Looks good! Have you started plans on this year's garden?
Kitty TV!
👍🤠
Whoo that's a lot of finches! Next comes the humming birds!
Bus, Great video as always..................I have to ask though, is your girlfriend even 5 feet tall, or is that a contrast due to your height.....
Talk about creating a time saver for collecting maple syrup. Curious how much was spent on the tubing and connectors but all in all the time you saved far outweighs what you spent for sure
Would love to see you do a video of starting your garden this year
Looks good Interesting the amber shades. I always thought the color changes as sap comes out the lightes early in the season and darker(more maple taste) at the end of the season. impressed that you have almost all your trees on gravity lines
building a sugarhouse from trees trees is the next series, right? love this channel !
we just rolled over the 4000 gallon mark at our sugarhouse. Keep it up. Sometimes I wish we made just enough for ourselves over a barrel stove like yours.
! It might just be a series before too long. Yeah, its wildly inefficient but I really enjoy the process. its been strange year, and I am hoping for just one more boil. Cold cold tomorrow night so I hope there is one more run.
Would love to watch but don’t like to listen to power tools. Shouldn’t need ear protection watching a video.
Where in Maine are you located?
Just stopped by to reminisce cause long, long ago I had one of those Suzuki GS450L's and loved it. Great job getting the old gal running again.
look at the maple syrup running out of the sawmill on the ground
Ha! Good work. That’s what I thought of too.
Your house looks good .
Thank you!
Excellent ❤
She learned from Ammo!
Thanks Bus, siding and Maple syrup looks great.
Another fine video. She is a great worker.
.....Reduction ratio for syrup ~ 40:1...whoa..120 + gallons ...OH MY..! Best to use your new system... FOR SURE
We have been having such a mild winter. Great seeing so much is getting done. Your assistant looks like a pro. Pencil behind the ear and knowing the way around her tool belt. Great job on felling that tree. Do you keep the lines up for the sap run? Just wondered how that worked. Pure gold in those jars.
Gorgeous siding and maple syrup!
There's probably an awful pun about "the couple that mills board feet together will never walk life side by side with bored feet" in there somewhere. That siding looks great and glad to see that you have chainsaw competition around!
So that’s what happened to Toad Man & Snake Man
Cuánto de aceite lleva el motor?
I think it takes maybe three quarts? I can’t remember. It’s still running very well.
Another excellent job. Have enjoyed your house building journey greatly. Now just have to get on with building my own timber framed house. Hope you will be continuing to post, could i suggest a new project maybe a wooden sailing boat. Have been watching Two blokes build a boat. Sort of shed build cross last of the summer wine( bbc comedy series). No ply wood to be seen. Just an ideal .
What kind of trees are those? Looks like they come out pretty easy. On my timberland most of my trees are hardwood. But hopefully the softwoods will come out as easy. Good job.
Hey great to start a new seasonwith you I would love to see other projects such as your garden but I understand if that would fell like to much work.
Thanks a lot!
gawd what a pleasure it must be to be able to keep adding things from wood you milled yourself. :D
