With the wood stove operational, it's time to start working on the next build project for the cabin - the LOFT! I have salvaged an old washed up dock from the bottom of the property at the water level, transported those materials up the mountain, and then back down again to the cliff cabin. This is what I am using to build the sleeping loft with. I've had it in my head to use those materials for the loft for a while, and also for a while I wasn't sure I was going to be able to pull it off, but alas, I think I can I think I can!
I have a small window of opportunity to go out to that cabin after about 3-4 days away, visiting family in the Okanagan. We will spend the night in the cabin, the first night with the wood stove working 😊. It definitely pumps out the heat, and is working like it should now. I do need to do a bit more spray foaming as I can see some gaps in the blocking and also in a few spots with the windows, but it kept me pretty warm. It does require a fair amount of babysitting, but that is to be expected with such a small stove.
I do run out of time and can't complete the loft this time, but I think (🤞🏼) I should be able to get it complete the next time.
Thanks for watching, thanks for supporting, and see you all in the next video!

Just have the ladder hinge off the wall in front of the loft, best of both worlds :)
Yes so you can wake up and see the view,you have vision and following your dream is what is pure joy in life no wonder you have a certain aura about you,your a good stick handler 2.
Thanks in the beginning of the video when your doing your lead in,your eyes light up the whole universe WOW!
I misunderstood where you were putting the loft now that you are putting it in the front of the cabin the stove pipe has nothing to do with it but the view of my gosh Beautiful amazing Idea in the spring please put up a rail system so you won't slip off that deck ok hope your okay after your fall be safe out there tell Steve hello and give fur babies a hug for me much love and respect from Portland Indiana
Your so amazing looking woman and a hard worker I love your ideas that you have.
Hi!
My personal opinion is: build the loft on the other side of the cabin. You will still have an awesome "nap-view" from there(maybe even better) and the cabin inside will feel much bigger that way when you are not blocking of the windows. :)
Cozy vibes with the stove going!
//Greetings from arctic Scandinavia! :D
I agree build the loft at the back end then it is not blocking the light coming in the windows, you also have some space on the left hand side of the lockers to maybe store a ladder
Hi Michelle, Just a few thoughts. First, I wish you a happy safe New Years and with safety in mind Please attach a rail on the deck. As you get more snow and ice the danger increases. Make it a cable rail so it doesn't obstruct your view. Second, I thought the Loft was going to the back of the tiny cabin. Doing this will have many plus benefits. For example it allow light to still float the entire cabin, it move your sleeping bed further away from the coldest part of the cabin. This also allow you to put your kitchenette under the loaf and allows the rest of the space to be used a a living area. Finally, be prepared to stay there for a few days if needed. Have at least 5 days of food rations, multiple ways of communication (IE. Phone, Ham Radio, CB...etc) Just encase you get injured or snowed in. When walking the trails keep then with you. also carry a side arm or rifle for wild animals. I look forward to seeing you next video.
Omg.
I agree completely, I've been telling her about a guard rail for a while now, but she doesn't listen... LOL.. even Steve told her the deck was really dangerous.. also you shouldn't ever go out in the wild without a sidearm, it's just a must..
@@TheDirtyBirchTrails ... what does that mean?
iv ben on her for 2 years now about the hand rail and the gun but she's pretty hard headed and is going 2 do it her way just like me, hard headed,, i just hope she don't get hurt, i would absolutley die if something was 2 happen 2 her...@@JuanPerez-ek8wd
I gave a ton of thought to the layout of the cabin, and chose things for specific reasons, knowing there’s always another great way it could be.
From the beginning of time, before I even started building the cabin, I had a vision that whatever I built, I would have big windows at the front and a bed there so that I could lay and overlook the lake. I absolutely hear you that having the loft at the back keeps it really bright and would be the warmest spot, but I have to stick to my original vision 😬
She skates, plays hockey, builds stuff, swings a hammer like a pro, is funny as hell, has a huge heart, cooks stuff and is very easy on the eyes. What a catch, well done steve!
Love it ❤️
Took the words right out of my mouth!
Don't forget - she also has a sawmill
Everyone's a critic behind the keyboard and I'm no different. The worst critic though is always us. Your little cabin is cute af and your projects are all great. Don't beat yourself up if they're not perfect, they're not supposed to be, they're just supposed to make you happy and make you learn and if they do that you win. Trust yourself and if the cut is off a bit then oh fking well.. I stopped measuring most things years ago and just work on touch and feel and get er done. That's a tight little fire box you have, and a long cold pipe and you have to prime it really good and get it real hot before it will suck air. Once you do that it will go and go all night. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, I think both you and it are quite wonderful. I would make the loft big enough for two or if not, I would make it for storage and not put it in front of those lovely picture windows. When you finish that thing up then make a big bed for it, a good beginner one would be like a shaker moon bed, easy to build and assemble. You're going to be a hell of a wood worker when this is all said and done.
Oh, and the ladder should just have hooks on the end and be removable like on the old bunk beds and you can hang it on a wall when not in use. Simple is the way to go as often as possible.
Or you could put a slider on top of it,but u do have good ideas.
Michy you should build a (hand rail) 4:40 for the stairs going down to the cliff cabin.
Michelle if it were me, i would put the loft on the back wall, one it does not block the windows, two you are sleeping over the heat (nothing like a Michelle burrito) and third it doesn’t lower your head space when you first walk into the cabin. Just my thoughts, you are doing great!!
Also put the ladder on a barn door style slide, that way you can move it anywhere along the bed, and out of the way when needed.
You’re the only one you need to please with the layout of the cabin. All your supporters will love it
Seeing your videos pop up always makes the day better. Thanks to you for doing them. And thanks to Steve for not opposing you doing them. A lot of guys would be a butt about it. Like "StandForFreedom", I worry about you on the edge of the deck, especially in the snow or when wet. A concern about the cuts you made on the beam for the loft. You essentially turned it into a 2 X 4 laying flat side down. It might split off. So, I suggest running a bolt with big washers on both ends all the way through near the cut to strengthen it. For saving space, you might want to consider a store bought folding attic stair. And lastly, I know the view will be great sleeping next to the windows, but you will likely really feel the chill. Test for that by placing the back of your ungloved hand next to the glass. You will likely feel the air falling across your hand. I am all about you doing it the way that feels good to you, as long as you go with eyes open. Stay safe and have a wonderful day !
The comment about the 2x4 was a concern of mine as well, you are losing at least half the strength of your loft beams!
Dam you dashed my hopes when you said not this 😂😂😂😂
Wow all that beautiful snow.Its quite rare these days in the good ole UK 😢
Suggestion...Use an Attic Ladder to get up to the loft area. They already fold, and have springs to raise the steps back up to the ceiling, keeping it off the floor area.
I just posted the same idea. Shawn James did it for his cabin.
Here's an idea for your loft ladder. Depending on how heavy the ladder is, make a set of brackets so you can store it across the front of the loft vertically so it doubles as a guard rail. That way it is out of the way when you are in the cabin, you can take it down to climb up into the loft then once up there you can lift it up and put it in the brackets so it becomes a safety rail.
There is also something called a a Jefferson stair, basically staggered steps for more compactness. and easier climbing
Purple looks great on you.. Hope that rock is ok that you fell on.... thanks for taking us along .... I vote to make the loft wider than you think....
Hi Michelle. It’s not necessary to apologise for when you don’t or do a post. I enjoy following you, if in Japan, if at sea, or in Canada, with Steve and of course your dogs. Your love of you both for these lovely animals is more than obvious and respect for that. Warm greeting from (Dutch) John, and excuse any spelling mistakes. 😊
You and Steve are truly blessed! I live a similar life but not in the mountains. I live in the desert of Texas southwest and retired about ten years ago at 57 years old. I want to buy a motorsailer or a trawler, see beautiful beaches, and drink tropical drinks with little umbrellas!
you're allowed to be stressed, part of life... Your doing a Fantastic job, your way ahead of many women and guys!.... keep calm and carry on
Michy, the loft needs to be on the back wall above the lockers....the best part about that cabin is the wall of glass on the entry side--put the loft there and you lose the best part.
Keep doing you. Stay healthy mentally & physically. You bring a smile to people's hearts & always encourage us to build anything 🙏🦾❤️. My dog loves watching your videos. Thanks for sharing 🙏
We spent 2 years converting a farm into a wedding venue site. People praise the work we did every day and all I can see are the flaws. When I first started building as a kid my boss told me the best carpenters are the ones that can hide their mistakes the best. Keep up the good work. What a blessing to build something like you have with such a beautiful backdrop.
"Not this." Hahaha! You are sooo funny!
I'm glad you got to spend some decent time with your family, and that you're back on your amazing loft project.
Great stuff, MG!
The new purple jacket looks excellent, also.The old blue jacket fitted well, is still warm, and can be reserved for dirty work. As a back-up now it doesn't need to be cleaned afterwards. It shows the effort you put in and the disintegration is fun.
Oh, it’s just literally falling apart! I’ll pull it out here and there, but I don’t think it’ll survive another wash. I’ll keep it though, in case of an auction 😂
I watch because I enjoy you. Of course all you do and say . To me it doesn’t matter what your doing. Don’t ever put yourself in danger or ever think we can’t wait for you if you feel you have to take a break. I can promise you I will still be praying for you and will always be a follower of Yours Michy. Your loved and valued. Be safe please . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Adding hockey and fearless to your attributes is helping me to find smiles that I always get when you post a video. My face actually hurts for a bit after watching. Have a safe winter.
Hello Michelle, One idea I would like to share with you for your loft is to construct a rope ladder with wooden steps. It would retract it like a Venetian blind. I would recommend flush mount ankers in the floor. When the ladder is extended to the floor quick connect the rope to the flush mount ankers. Place the ankers far enough awas from the loft so the ladder is comfortable to climb. If you do not anker to the floor your feet will tip forward making climbing up or down awkward. I am sure Steve being so good with ropes would be able to help in the construction with all the knots he knows. When retracted it will free up floor space.
That bridge drive me crazy every time I see you driving on it ;) ;) ;) And when I saw you passing over the big tree in the trail, I said to myself - Oh ! no ! she's gonna put a hole in her brand new jacket ;) ;) ;)
Thank you for talking about mental health, and the need to get help. Hopefully you will inspire many people to reach out and get the help they need.
Your such a sweetheart my dear friend. Everyone needs a break as life gets stressful. Going to the cliff and taking in God's country views and taking time to yourself is good Therapy. I go camping down at the river lot to get away and it sure helps the stress level. Thanks for sharing.
Tenacity. You keep fighting the mountain and winning! Impressive. ❤❤
Thanks friend!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I like plan "B" in it's simplicity and more sleeping area room. A swinging ladder creates three cons . . .
1- Reduced loft area.
2- Greater complexity to build.
3- It will demand swing space robbing you of floor options as well.
Plus a removable ladder can have multiple uses in and around the cabin when you need higher (or lower) access to anything.
Good luck. Love your projects and say Hi to Steve and all the cute pooches.
Hi M. Sorry to hear about your mood of late. You've just come off an extended boat voyage in which you were no doubt worried about the kids (the pups) and battling seasickness. Now jumping in to a winter season in which you can't do what you want as quickly as you want. Hey, you're one of my heros and you deserve some down time. thanks for all your great content and please take some time to chill (yes I said that).
You've got the major parts of the cabin now enclosed and heated. I'd plan to get a larger wood stove. You can now tweak the house to improve it, to expand it. The ladder to the loft can be designed as an architectural trellis to the ceiling when pulled up. I'm surprised that Canada hasn't gotten more snow.
You Win Michy, Notch a little out of a 2 by 6 to cover the little gap and no one will ever know. Tom talked to Wilson and you have Irwin to talk to as he made the cut. Clever You are. Happy New Year.
I cant be silent about this any longer, RAILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luv your show!
I can see you building things when you're 80 years old. Once it's in your blood you won't stop. The good thing is it keeps you and your brain young. Kenny from Western North Carolina.
Hi from NZ. You could incorporate both plans. Latch them up in place, extending the loft area. Safer too. Waking to that view. Awesome
Welcome back Michelle, I’m glad your doing ok and I really miss seeing your videos, when I’m watching your videos it’s like hanging with a good friend, I only wish I could do more than just compliment what you do, it looks scary when your going up and down to your cabin on the cliff, please be careful, I don’t want to lose a friend, especially one as nice and pretty as you, take care!
I like the hinge and pully idea for the ladder. That would keep the floor area clear. I would go one further and put some kind of counterweight on it(against the wall or in the corner) So it retracts by itself when there's no weight on it(not like a bear trap or anything, but just enough weight to make it easy).
Thanks to Better Health ❤. Sometimes the motivation is not there. Cut the notched wood glue to fill gap. Look at hanging hammock chairs and beds. Just need hook points easy to move. I really enjoy seeing the things you do. Thank you ❤
❤❤
I’m so proud of you. You did such a good job on building your vision, but yo gotta build a guard/ balustrade-on your deck before you worry about your access to your loft. All the best!
The 1st, hinged ladder idea id great. I helped a friend when they built their cabin and that's what they did, the only drawback is during the day IF you want something from above you have to lower the ladder and raise it again.
Love your determination and perseverance to complete the 'cabin on the cliff'! Such an amazing view... takes the breath away. Great find on the $14 PURPLE jacket... it's STUNNING in the video!
Loft needs to be in the rear to not block sunlight and sleeping by the window is gonna be cold.
I have similar thoughts, but I'm betting Michele wants a great view while being in the loft.@@FrankieFis1
When I saw you coming down with the Timbers in the sled. All I was thinking there has to be a bloopers reel somewhere. Maybe future video? Gag reel/bloopers. We all need to laugh at ourselves once and a while ❤. Hope you’re doing well!!!
For the stairs to your loft, look into designs for “folding stairs”. There are wood designs that fold flat up against the wall. One would look and work great for your application. Also, just a thought, you might find that the location that the loft is going will block out a lot of light. You may want to consider locating it near the back of the cabin.
then there's the wood stove & chimney. that needs moving... How about to the front of the cabin next to the kitchenette?
@@speliotis My thoughts are that this loft is NOT just a location to sleep. It is a place to read, work, meditate, and just chill. I could even envision figuring out how to make access available for one of the dogs to hang out. If the uses I have listed are actually part of the plan, anywhere that the pitch of the roof comes into play could/will make sitting up there uncomfortable. The actual best location will be determined by the plans of use. Ultimately, I have confidence that Michy will come up with the best option to meet her needs.
@@freethinker3279 It's amazing how we are all involved in this project... Only wishing Michy the best.. She's brilliant and I'm sure will make the right decision for her needs & desires....
Girl!!! You're back on the cliff! I'm so happy!
Beautiful people, beautiful dogs, beautiful country ❤❤❤
The video at 18:15, showing the lake below, would be an incredible view at most any time of the day! WOW - what an inspiring lookout and place to get away and look within yourself. Enjoy!!
I made a zip line for my kids and myself a long time ago and to avoid rotation I created a 2-wheler, that is two blocks in sequence on the cable with a rod between them. That might be an idea for you to not having things flop around spinning and pitching and would decrease point stress on the cable it self.
I have tried that to some degree, but haven’t nailed it down properly, which makes it come down to more work. So, I just keep doing what gets the job done so I can keep moving forward.
Love your drive and motivation. Always watch your video on Sunday, before heading out to work for the week away from my farm. Gives me motivation. Keep up the excellent work. As a seasoned General Supt for the worlds largest general contractor, you are doing amazing. See you next week.
After notching the 4x4 l would use a saddle bracket to add extra strength or support. It would be a nasty drop in the middle of the night should the grain of that 4x4 decide to fail.
Hello Michelle and Steve,
I scarlessly know where to begin...I have been watching your videos for some time now. It is difficult to comprehend the level of your skills.
You, are a carpenter, a miller, a nurse, a dog lover (me too), you are compassionate, driven, you have a deep appreciation for nature, and are hard working... no moss grows under your feet, and you are quite beautiful. I have never seen eyes as beautiful and mesmerizing as yours. My name is John, and I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Steve is a very lucky man, and has has a boatload of talent and skills on his own.
I look forward to all your postings, From the Northwood of Wisconsin...this is Johnnyone
Thank you for the heart, Michelle.
I enjoy your content, always. Wonderful job on the cabin. Is it strange that I feel a connection through your videos? It is like the friend that we all wish that we had.
Good morning Michelle. When I saw you with that hockey puck, I said this is a talented lady who knows how to handle the stick. You moved like a pro. I love the cup a noodles/soups container. Great hot food in cold climates, and like you stated not much cooking and basically a burnable cup. A few more solar lights outside would give more lightening. Rail system is a must for you and your fur babies. Love your fashion show and you look beautiful in purple. For helpful tips for you, photography, painting and a nice wine to help you unwind. And please Never make a list of things to do that will take weeks to complete. Make a list with 2-3 things to do, then cross out one or two if you get a chance to fulfill them. You will feel like a failure if you list all 12-20 things and only complete 1 or 2 items. Please don't do this to yourself. WE already know your a Beautiful busy lady, trying to do it all. Big warm hugs from Santa Barbara. 🤗😘👋🙏🌹🍷💕😎
That’s true. What I’ve started to do is tackle the hardest things on the list first, rather than leaving those until the end. And harder meaning the most complicated and mentally painful (like banking, computer work, tech stuff). But you’re right - keep the lists shorter will help too.
Hi Michelle. You are one determinded lady. Scrap putting a hole in your loft. Hinge your ladder to the side and rope it up as you planed. Just a thought. But would give you more room up above. Great watching you in all your efforts. Your still the crazy gorgous cabin builder we all love. We are all here if you need an ear to listen. Stay safe and happy. ❤G
Not sure what you complete loft build plans are but you might want to put some sort of brace under the beam from the wall. Angle iron or wood... When you cut it to fit over the beam it weakens it...
I was thinking the same.
Great work Michelle, Good thing you're sure footed except for that spill onto your tush, good for that coffee funnel it broke your fall, lol. It has become a winter wonderland out there and it looks amazing overlooking the mountains and lake just gorgeous. Superb saw cuts even if you over cut enough for expansion and contraction, space ad loft is gonna look legit.Thanks for Sharing with us take care.
I'm with you on procrastinating. I keep on taking on too much video projects that have piled up and sitting waiting for me to get to. I try to stay ahead on videos, so I don't put myself into trying to get one out in a hurry for my Friday loads. Then there is the honey dew list and my list around the house to do. I'm always busy which is good, but my knee is not liking it. I'm scheduled to go see my doctor the 5th and hopefully get in to have knee surgery this year. Will need to preload videos to release ahead for the time I'm recovering. Last time I recovered pretty quick but not sure this time how it will go?
There’s a lot of planning and preparing and organization required to make content almost every week hey!!?!?? 🤪
Love the views too up there. your choice of music is very fitting as well. Please keep it up. Oh, and your animal friends.
My thoughts on the grate on the wood stove is it was added after the initial design. Without the grate the holes could allow sparks to escape, and the grate was added after for safety and liability reasons by the manufacturer. Just my thoughts.
Whenever I think about my lofty ambitions, I wonder if I should borrow some wings or just burrow my way to success. Honestly, my goals are so high, they're getting altitude sickness, and here I am, still trying to figure out if I need a ladder or a shovel! Love your content and thrifty accent.
😂😂😂
Girl!!! You're back on the cliff! I'm so happy! ❤
Hi Michelle, Wishing you and Steve a blessed 2024. I love the new 💜jacket, pot plant and cofee device. Do your video schedule to what is comfortable and not a burden to You, Steve and all the paws! - When it stops being fun and starts to impact your thoughts and anxiety of time pressure, it's time to back off for a bit. I always look forward to your next adventure in the wilderness of BC. It really makes my day! Maybe space your attic bed back maybe a foot or so from the windows with a flat shelf? That will give you some elbow room, and keep you and your bedding back from the cold glass. You've been given some great ideas for the ladder steps using pulleys or springs. Blessings from me down in a much warmer but marine temperate New Zealand, David ❤
PS, until you can build a safety rail around the decking, please wear your body harness when outside on the deck, with a short fall arrestor strap connected to a large safety eye bolt screwed into a substantial beam of wood above the sliding door. That way, any slip will prevent you from going over the edge. You are far too precious to Steve and all of us! 🥰
Hey Michelle, happy new year 2024, sometimes you got to deal with your self preservation, making healthy choices is not uncommon it means you care about yourself. 😊👍 you could use a pulley system and set it up to have a mechanical advantage on it then use a lanyard to tie it off too.
Well the polar vortex has reached down here in Texas it was 3°f last night with a high of 20°f ,Monday its supposed to shift almost too the gulf of Mexico. The paw children are spoiled here everyone sleeps inside, wall to wall furry bodies.
Becareful out there you've taken a few falls, your backside has a crack in it already. Have a good week stay warm, and count your blessings amen.
I like the wood stove , great you got it working correctly !
That will make a huge difference in the cabin to have a good heat source !!
Tip ; want to keep your glass on your wood stove door more clear ?
Once you have a bed of coals built up move the coals to the door / glass !
The loft idea is great , find where it’s the most warm up there and work to construct that area !
Funny - I was once told years ago to push the coals to the back!
I do think the cubic mini stoves are notorious for soot buildup on the glass - at least that’s what I’ve seen from other CZcamsrs who use those stoves. 🤷🏻♀️
@@michygoss7148 That is possible too , coals moved back ! I tried it a couple times but thought the glass got more residue buildup quicker as the glass got darker quicker !
I tried both ways not that I thought the dealer was dishonest when he told me coals to the glass to help keep the glass cleaner !
Also he said some wood species has more resin then others ! That is true from the years I’ve spend cutting trees !
I could understand the theory behind coals close to the glass to help burn away resin residue buildup !
In the mini wood stoves with small fire boxes I can’t tell you that it would make a real difference because I don’t know that !
I think you can make popcorn on top of that small wood stove or maybe even pizza. hmmm? Steve would be like hey wait for me!!!! :)
I can see the relief with the stove working. You would have stayed for days if you could and that awesome. You’re doing a great job on your vision. Do you!
Perhaps instead of a loft you might consider a custom hammock arrangement. it could be raised and lowered by a pulley, no need for a ladder.
Please consider putting up a railing on your deck - I know you don't get a lot of time up there ...but even some end posts and a simple rope for safety...I got the heeby jeebies when you were working on the edge....love the place - its so cool
Always love the videos Michelle. You do a great job at many things. Keep up the good work, and prayers for you guys and for the fur babies. Tell Steve hey for us from se Texas Bear ❤💯🙏
Your cabin on the cliff is so cool just gets better and better i want one.
Hello Michelle, I agree with the comment before me just a temporary cable railing would make me feel better. We all love you we don’t want you to get hurt. I also thought maybe one of those clamp things on your chimney and about three cables coming off of it for Highwinds and snow support.
You could also use an attic access ladder that closes and folds up when not in use they make them in multiple sizes. A pair of yak tracks. Works great over your boots to keep you from slipping.
Nice to see that stove is working fine, think I'll look for one a bit deeper. Watching you get the wood to the cabin in the snow was a bit nerve wracking, looks really difficult. The winter views look amazing though. Thanks for sharing it 👍.
When you put on your new snow slippers & did your little dance it reminded me of the penguins in Happy Feet. So cute. & hell yes! why not add a little plant for that extra homey touch. In our small cabin we had a ladder that folded back against the wall then lifted up on a hinged box step to lean up against the loft. Worked well & was out of the way except when going up in the loft.
Hi Nancy! How are you?!? Yes - the slippers were necessary and I found them at a discount store called Winners in Canada (kinda like a T-J Max in USA.
I’m gathering all the loft ladder ideas in hopes to come up with the best idea for my situation. ❤
Hope you’re doing well and winter is treating you kindly ❤❤
😂Hey Michy! Consider a rope boarding type ladder for the loft. Like used for troops embarking from ships, although obviously a smaller version. Steve could make you one. We have seen him using a Marlinspike/Fid. By now you relize the.thousands of fans not wanting you to launch yourself off the deck. A rope rail system would work well. Minimizing blocking the view. Again Steve would love being included, giving a little Nautical yet rustic theme. Stay away from a wire type rail, as that might attract Lightning!! We absolutely Love your cabin of solitude.! T&K
So glad you are taking care of yourself and living a 100 per cent life even while you have a partner, none of us know when we might have to manage alone. It’s takes a certain mind set to handle up. Me, I’m a very emotional person, so I ve learned to put my reactions on the back burner so I can do the things I need to do.
Please don’t ever get rid of the old jacket! It’s a classic! Truly enjoy your videos … thank you!
Have many times have I told you how much I love your little cabin!! ❤❤❤ 😊
Thanks for posting another video...hope you had a swell time w/family...two years is too long....
I really wish you'd put up a few corner posts and a rope railing for that deck. Also some pull on cleats for your boots. 😊
Maybe some outside air supply near the wall, from up through the floor, duct piped to the wood stove inlet, with a damper built in to open, close, and adjust the flow?
You took advantage of the time you had and got stuff done. That's all that matters. Getting stuff done always takes more time than what you thought, especially in the winter. The little stove really cranks out the heat now that that screen is removed. Interested to see what others that have that stove have to say. Thanks for bringing us along.
When and should build a rail system .. put collapsing arms on posts and swing up/ down and use a temporary sawhorses, table, etc.
Grettings from Slovakia!
You know family always gives you a piece of mind and it's so nice to see family visit talk❤ being out in the wilderness like you are can also give you peace of mind❤ as for Steve it's his personality so don't try to think anything on Steve in the videos you have shown us he is a good guy and loves you very much and that's for all your family that you have at the cabin they also love you very much so you just keep doing what you're doing and we will keep watching you enjoying what you do and I hope that gives you peace of mind as well you take care of yourself Michelle❤❤😂😂😅😮
Don’t worry. Steve laughs (we both laugh) at how much he doesn’t listen to me. I’ll be talking about my boyfriend and he responds “good my love. Nice” 🤣
It’s a dog’s life! Cabin is such a gem what a view!
Definitely need two person loft ❤
I was envisioning the loft on the back wall so it wouldn’t block the windows from below and be warmer away from the glass. However it’s not my cabin and it will be perfect whatever way you do it. Love your videos!
Hey kiddo. I know you've heard it enough, but RAILINGS!!!! on that porch!!! Love ya, you're great.
Will I see you are back at it and its looking good. I would put the loft on the other side so your big pretty windows are not blocked and will still be able to see outside while sleeping in the loft . You already have the lockers on that side so you would not be taking away floor space .Make a nice railing for it and a latter you can take down and out of the way when not in use . OH yes you need railings around that deck B4 you wind up like that saw you cant find . You do a great job and it your space so make it like YOU like . I TRUST YOU, PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND STAY SAFE .
Jeez… My stomach sank when you walked on that snowy deck.. I appreciate you’re well used to it, I’d have been clinging to the cabin wall… lol
Happy New Year! Glad you're back. Miss your videos. 😢 😊 Nice to see your other side of the fam bam. You got me excited, wondering what you were going to show me. Lol ❤ Be safe out there. Glad to see you are doing well.
Your doing great Michelle.. try not to stress too much, its bad for you.. who sings that song reunited and it fell so good,, remember.... put a guard rail up, one slip is all it takes... be good and dont stress... take care girl..
Hi Michelle, Love your ambition. Just an idea, what about putting a AirTag on your tools then you can track them if by chance they go over the cliff. Keep the great content coming. Lov,Lov,Lov! the cabin with a million view! From the pacific NW, Portlandd=, Ore
Thank you for your video! You are an inspiration to so many people. For Steve and the pups, please put a handrail. Thanks!
Nice jacket , and slow down take time for yourself but you got to have a date night for just the two of you . Awesome show
Michelle, very interesting seeing the drive on the path the railroad took. Look back thru your videos and what you have accomplished, it is remarkable volume of work. Nutrition plays such a large part in how we feel. You are living in an area lacking in sun light. Vitamin D, the B-complex vitamins and others play a large part in how we feel. Thank you for sharing your life and the imagination you show in what you do. You are remarkable individual.
Michelle, you are a very determined individual. You don't let anything stop you. And I very much enjoy watching your videos.
You really should consider putting a handrail around the edge of platform. When you slip on ice or snow you don't always get to decide where you are going to fall. Even a simple one rail handrail will give you a chance to catch yourself before going over the edge.
I just wanted to say thank you for your time in making the videos. The cabin is coming along great, and to say for us viewers it really is a treat to see such a beautiful place. And I hope you realize how much we do look forward to seeing you each Sunday morning with your black heart😂❤
Good to see you back on the cliff. thank you for sharing.
Second option on the bed but have the ladder hinged in the middle on front edge of loft. Then pulley it up to the peak of the roof. If that makes sense.
Or put loft on the front of the cabin so you have the windows in the loft.
