Jacked up & Decked out! (the cabin, of course). This cliff is beating me up.

- In this video I take a quick look back at the last 2 years with this cabin build. My next project is to tackle is building the side deck for easier access into the cabin, but before that I want to jack up the one back corner that has settled a little bit.
I know that the jacking and deck build will only take me a day, but I don't have any materials there - this is a process and will take me an entire day. This process is testing my patience more than ever. 🤪. I've been struggling with a problem with an ankle (no proper diagnosis yet, need one more test), and being a lumber mule on that steep mountain has been really aggravating it. So I've been compensating for it, and in turn this has caused a whole other plethora of pain in my lil' body, which has forced me to actually rest (cuz I can barely do anything else!). Anyway, want some cheeze with that whine? Hot tub soaks and stretching it is. 🤷🏻♀️
I choose to not make any significant plans for things because I know I often change my mind, which was the case here with this deck. I'm happy with how it turned out in the end though, making use of the lumber I had on hand. I would like to go back and work on my footings a bit (find better rocks and just tidy it up a bit), but that will have to be another day as I ran out of time. I will also add another tier of deck at the back that goes up to the shed.
As always, thanks for watching my friends, and I will see you in the next video!
💕 Michelle
As a 30 year builder myself, I have to say you are quite a lady. I love your spirit and your perseverance. The rewards will be more than worth it keep it up.
Plus shes a smoke show, dream wife
I agree as her can do attitude is something to be amazed at... since it would even put some of us basic DIY'er guy's to shame🤣!! The build is looking amazing Michelle, what a beautiful place and view to be able to visit, you and Steve are truely blessed, and I'm sure when you bring all your doggie babies🐶to see the final build... they'll love it too. 🙏
It won't be home with out me.
RIGHT ?
Very nice Michelle, you’re the Energizer Bunny of the North Woods. You must spend an incredible amount of your time moving cameras around to get all the different shots. Have you always been interested in building/milling… Wilber & Margaret of the lower 48. 😊
A woman of focus, commitment and sheer will!
And swings a mean hammer!
😊👍
Your tenacious perseverance is really special. That must be from your own character. Nurses are special people....!!!
I watch people build stuff....whether boats or cabins...it motivates me. Thanks for your videos
Just started this video and listened to some of the hardships you were expressing in your narrative. If anyone can press forward, it's you. You are the Queen of perseverance!
Don't be disheartened Michelle, you've come so far and you're doing a superb job, keep going and you'll have it finished in no time. 👏🙏👍😊
Levi's never looked so good, and that view - so worth it!
Everyone's dream, building by water, nature's calming fluid.
An absolute pioneer woman. None of us can do this, but the view and the experience are priceless
Happy Sunday Michelle & Steve! I am praying for you healing, strength, perseverance, and peace. Bravo on the progress! It is a joy to watch you build and share your life with us. God Bless!
I’m 41 year experienced carpenter, I’ve built everything, now I do high end interior woodwork, but it soothes my soul watching a beautiful gutsy woman get into the dirt and wood and go after her vision in God’s country, who needs drugs, when your looking out on that,,,, BRAVO
My wife and I are really impressed. We thought we worked hard and smart but you take it to a new level.
This video was so good for my anxiety. The views, your voice, your eyes are so calming. Thank you and great job!
The music was relaxing too.
It amazes me how quickly all the snow melted. I think you’ve set a reasonable timeline. Keep up the good work and keep reminding yourself why you started this project you’ll get there, winning!
I hope there are some younger girls out there that watch this and learn they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. Your willpower is impressive…you rock!!
for what you have accomplished here, i would be a proud father.
Moving the materials, setting up the camera for all the different shots, getting down to the cabin, being careful not to get hurt, editing the video, you are a wonder woman.
I totally agree!
Mad respect for what you’ve accomplished Michele. Keep working on. We’ll keep watching lady!
Truely a Unicorn .real woman .been a custom home builder all my working days.showed this to my Dad .he was impressed.
Your Drive! Wisdom! & Tinacity Is Amazing! But Then There's Your Beauty! What A Package! & With A Bow!
Nicely done, Michelle, on the two year cabin build review. Your tenacity and ingenuity are very impressive! 👏 Cheers!
Just found your channel a few months ago and wow its so amazing what you’ve achieved. As a professional rigger for the movie biz I can tell you that your rope twisting like that means its breaking down internally. I’d recommend replacing it before it fails on you. Ropes break down in climates like yours much faster. Be safe and take pride in what you’ve accomplished
Really? It is not old rope - Steve just bought it last fall and it’s Marmot climbing rope (so expensive stuff). Interesting though. Hmmmm.
@@michygoss7148 Marmot makes some quality lines for sure, but all that moisture is gonna expedite the end for sure. Anytime we have lines out for a few months we store the excess in plastic bags when not in use. You can tell a lot about a rope by how it coils or doesn’t. Look into Marine Grade or Polyethylene ropes.
Outstanding. Impressed with your fortitude and construction skills. Looking forward to seeing your finished cabin. You and my wife must share the same DNA. God bless you 🙂👍🇺🇸.
Lady, you underestimate yourself - please be kind to yourself, you have such abilities, such good judgement, such skill and vision. That is why we all love and have such respect for you! Love and hugs from the Isle of Man, UK.
I cry for pride in your amazing cabin build. You are a marvel my dear woman/lady. An exceptional achievement. I pray to God to keep you safe and well. A blessed woman for caring so much for your adopted dogs as well. So much from such a gal❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Michy I am blown away by the energy and dedication you are able to summon.
Just imagine a society where, say, just every fourth person was a Michy, the incredible things we could achieve!
Every time you feel down, think of us, of all the people around this globe to whom you give inspiration. You could fill a decent regional stadium with your admirers. I know it may not make the task at hand easier, but maybe you can feel a bit of the energy coming back in hindsight?
Yes- I know I have a whole crew supporting me and it does help me!! 💞
So true!!!! Feel the respect, the admiration, I feel honored to learn from you!
First words I would say.... Framing Square!!! I must admit I was saying no, no no to the double joist on the wall, lol. You can bring the exterior material down to the deck, use flashing and keep it up a,half inch or so. You can foil tape the edges of foam etc... Anyway just some ideas..... food for thought.
You have done an amazing job on the cabin. I helped my father build an A-frame on the side of a mountain in the late 1970s. He had just finished the roof - lighting hit it. Fortunately the fire was contained. It was a hard hit, mentally and physically exhausting, but he saw it through. You will prevail 🙂
Got to say I admire you, one tough intelligent woman beautiful work
It's a pleasure to watch a amazing lady at work and let say wow
Don’t think there’s any obstacle you can’t get past! Your determination alone is inspiration.
SHE IS DEFINITELY A DETERMINED INDIVIDUAL!!
You under estimated how much influence you have on the individuals who watch you. You are an inspiration to all of us who watch you struggle with all the challenges. You are an amazing woman and I look forward to watching you and Steve and your adventures 😀
Every inch you build have enormeus effort and fight against weather and tired. Admire you lady.
A job well done Michelle, a job well done, God bless you and Steve 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If more people in the world had drive and focus as you it would be a better place. 💯 Great video ✌️
That’s a lot accomplished in a few hours. Hope your knees and ankles get a bit of a rest.
Good video. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Wonderful~Amazing~Awesome... Thanks for letting us into your world.
Your determination never cease to amaze me, I know your frustrations and trying to build something and you can’t get it just right, keep up the good work I love your videos and have a wonderful week👍
You got it done, despite mr time ticking away anxiously! I liked your opening monalog where you reflect on the whole project and examine the benefits of greater skill and knowledge and confidence. We've all been amazed by your grit and resourcefulness Michelle! Honestly, the single biggest 'impossible task' was single handedly lugging, sliding and ziplining that 200 lb locker!
Yep. That was definitely frigging hard! 🥴
@@michygoss7148 By back hurt just watching 🤣🤣
it's what I love about Canadians , Mad Chainsaw Skills !
It is all going to be worth it! You knew this project/journey was not going to be easy. This is most certainly defining the person you are and strive to be. Keep going, know that I and many others are cheering you on. Keep it up, you got this!
Thank you for taking us along on your journey Michy! You are definitely a role model and inspiration to just get it done. Keep up the great work, be safe, and keep kicking ass!
great job, "light at the end of the tunnel" is a good feeling.
Might a tank of water up in the truck, a few bags of ready mix, and a lot of water hose be of use? You are entitled to a big hug for all this! What a Romantic....!!!
Hi Michelle! love your videos. Keep up the wonderful work
It's been so much fun watching your progress. im a professional home builder and i love watching you work through any obstacle. Your cabin is looking great!! Also, you know you spend a lot of time on your own when you learn to speak bird... 😆
I know! 🤣
Who needs a gym when you build a challenging cabin like you have accomplished! Way to grow! Cheers! Kelly
You are getting closer and closer that's good it all looks good to me nice and wide for the dogs to run up on even stable enough for you to carry Steve on your back😮 looking good woman😮😅❤❤❤❤
I appreciate how you are able to put action and thought into words . I can identify with you, as I went through with a cabin build , "hand crafted", by myself . When you get that project knocked out you will be most satisfied . Keep up the good work , Awesome . !
P.S. Metal flash that ledger board ," nailer ".
Always amazed at each progression. Enjoyed the first few minutes as it summed up everything for me. You are simply amazing in every aspect and I think people should also keep in mind that you are also your own film crew. I am sure you could be further along without setting up the videos / editing / posting. But to me, every thing you have done so far is very inspiring and capturing and sharing your experiences / dreams / struggles / achievements will help many people... Love that fact that you both also give the dogs a good life. Hope you knee feels better and that you and you guys have a safe voyage!
The whole filming/editing/ CZcams side of things I could honestly say slows me down about 40-50%. But then I’m not sharing it with anyone, so it becomes worth it 💝
@Michygoss thank you for all you do to share your story and give us the insight and enjoyment of following along with you.
You are a most special kind of woman, not only are you beautiful, I know you get that all the time.
But you are head strong and independent, you have the MOST beautiful personality I think I've ever seen, your determined. No matter how hard the work is. And finding a woman that will work like that and do the things you do is so very very rare, I wished I could find a woman with half of your attributes and 1/4 of your work ethic,, I'd be able to actually have a partner In life, someone to actually build a life with. Not someone I have to build a life for.
I love watching you and the way you do things,,
Seeing you accomplish your goals makes me happy for you, keep up the great work, I'd love to chat with you 1 day. Stay safe
#michy
@@caseyshoemaker that’s very sweet of you to say. Thank you!
Fantastic achievement and that view is to die for ...one very lucky lady
The deck to heaven's view !!!!!
Brilliant Michelle. Go easy on yourself with the day of prep feeling like a day lost. Part of the process.
Wow, unbelievable. The tenacity and determination… you are the shit. Very impressive.
I detected Lou Reed’s "Perfect Day" in the background piano, otherwise I have no words. I’m a man that worked construction for nearly forty years and I wouldn’t have taken on this project. I woulda dreamed it but no way I would do it. Maybe when I was younger.
I enjoy your videos very much! My week is not complete without seeing and hearing you!
Nicest plumber's crack of all time. 😂 Love your videos. It's like we're on the side of the mountain with you.
I've said it before, but it bears repeating: you are an amazing woman, Michelle!
I’m happy that you’re doing what you love….. and KILLIN’ it! 👍🏻😎🌹
Hang in there; you're in sight of the finish line. GO GIRL!!!!
Girl can drive a nail like a Rock Star!
That sprint at the end was epic .
Nice tight jeans!! This little Cabin is going to be your perfect amazing little place for you to come down and Sun bathe on your deck and relax in all that quietness! Looks awesome
Charming, talented, charming, self starter, charming, insightful,, charming, tenacious...did I mention charming?
You are such a force and such a source of inspiration. Life is good,
A million dollar view and a million dollar view ❤ keep up the good work Michelle 😊
You should be proud. You have built a great little cabin with a heck of a lot of hard work. When finished open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
Steve must be so proud of you, I am gonna use you to inspire my daughters x
I laughed so hard when you started cawing. You are definitely entertaining!!
That's the dream bugout, the view is amazing!
Lady, you are something else.!!
You're wonderful. Your videos tell storys.
Well done …focused…tenacious…good sense of self and ability to recognize irony, an ever present force of life and nature…stay safe..take care of your physical disposition
I always found it amusing when I’d be alone working at my grandparents old home in the mountains that I’d find myself mimicking the animal noises around me. Funny to see you doing the same.
Definitely do all the time. I have been talking with ‘crows’ for at least 15 or more years now. They definitely pay attention and are intrigued !
wow ive been renevating a 200 year old cottage in england for 4 years 2 of those with no power i thought i had worked hard until i watched your videos what an incredible achievment, ive got 3 daughters who im going to make watch your fils totally incredible and inspiring thank you very much from england
Stunningly tough and tenacious! You possess an unabashed, clear objective. Being a visionary who has high energy, goal oriented, who is undoubtedly burdened with burning youth and vigor as your constant companion is truly a remarkable trait in today's society. Certainly, you are the envy of many viewing this delightful video. Collectively, I/we must applaud your spirit and remind you this wonderful project you have embarked upon may have no completion date.
The only element of this project you are unable to enhance is the panoramic view! As for me, I am truly envious, at 75 I never took the initiative in my youth. You epitomize the human spirit...Godspeed and persevere on Michygoss!
If no one has said it yet I will, I'M so proud of you 😊
You should be very proud of this build .. it's really great ..all the pain will soon be just a memory and all you'll have left to do is enjoy that dream ..
I love your attitude. Nothings impossible it's just going to take a little longer.
Your an inspiration to many people. Keep up the great work.
The location is very scenic, I do like your choice. It has to be one of the most difficult getting the supplies down to it. I know it has been a very difficult test of your patience and will power. I suppose that makes it the more worthwhile to you. Please make us proud and finish. You are a special lady, and so beautiful. Thanks. James
i weely weely wish you happiness and safety on the upcoming ocean crossing adventure.
You are getting so much better at what you are doing good job and you are a work horse
.
Well, I'm just impressed, girls got skills and a great work ethic. That view is amazing,
You are in good shape for sure. Nobody can appreciate what you did!
You have done a great job don't give up when you work by yourself you become stronger but at the same take care of your body an mind young lady rest uour ankles there're hard to come by God bless you and yours
A beautiful beast of burden building a cozy cabin with a spectacular view not a bad show. Much love keep kicking ass.
You're doing very good. Tundra, not only good taste there's brains!!!
Build is looking good! Waking up to that view a few times will make it worth the struggles now. Your an amazing person.
Way to go Michy, that should make it easier to get around. They make a metal flashing they use for transition from masonry to siding. That metal would be prefect for at the bottom run that around holding it of the deck, all the way around. Then put your foam over it then your siding. That way too , it will give a finished edge that won't be seen, and it would make it very difficult for critters to chew through.
Have a good week and God bless amen. 🙂👍❤️🔥🕊🕊🕊🌿🌿🌿
Don't beat yourself up, and don't knock yourself out. Few people in this world could ever say they've achieved as much as you have. And you must have learned a lot about yourself. Attagal!
Good morning.... as always one of the best UT videos.
Some women are scared to break a nail, while one is tough as nails.
Don't get discouraged you're doing great and things are going to start moving faster.
Humans were meant to suffer for that's when we achieve great things. By achieving great things is when we find out who we really are.
You are one amazing person...woman! Excellent content. Great editing. And, all pleasing on the eye!
Another amazing Michelle project completed.
All the hard yakka paying off Mich. Thanks again for another great vid.
Oh. It never occurred to me that even you would get burn out. But I get it. Just remember, you're an artist, it's your sculpture. It'll really start moving now and you'll be energized by the sudden updates.
Michy...you totally ROCK!! Nice build..
Thanks for the shoveling. Nicely done. Heal as well.
I think you are just fantastic. Every time i look at your videos i smile. Thats your posetive personality and happiness that catchess on to me.
Sorry if my spelling is wrong.at least I dont Wright in swedish 😂
No need to apologize!!!
You remind me of my spinster Aunt who passed away at the age of 90 in September.
She grew up on a farm in southern Italy. She could do anything💪🏻
Great job, you are very hard working woman. I can’t wait to see your cabin when it’s finished. 😃
