Thanks for the comparison.

We did foundation by just filling up the area with gravel woodframe on top that attached to the ground, plywood on top for base flooring. It's waste of time and energy to dig out those stones. You ha ground water that close to the top not good, I would definitely elevate the area.

Next time plant on the north side of old stumps and downed wood, that little bit of shade can make a difference in survival

This is just a small cabin for us to stay in while we are there for an evening or two. I do have plans for a larger cabin in the future, but that is still some time off.

Are you still interested in some BIG logs (some as big as 24” dia, 16-20’ long) to mill? I can drag them up the hill with our skid steer and leave beside your mill-but I don’t want to block your vehicles, if that’s bigger than you can handle!

@offgrid-fromtheashes6681 Жыл бұрын

Feel free to drag them up if you would like. I would be happy to mill them up. As long as I can still get to my Toolcat and get a vehicle in front of my Toolcat in case I need to jump it, all will be good.

A good tool for the job for sure. A pedestal thicknesser would also be a good addition if you had room for one. Sometimes you can get them as a 2 in 1 planer/thicknesser. I've subbed and enjoy your vids bud 👍

@offgrid-fromtheashes6681 3 жыл бұрын

While I agree, and would love to have a large planer/thicknesser for my shop, many of the beams I will need to plane for the cabin I am building in the future will be far too large for that. So, I went for this first. One day I will get there, but for now, I think my wife might disown me if I put one more large tool in the garage that is already bursting at the seems... I guess I have a shop build up at the property in my future as well.

If you'll have to handle your logs a lot, getting a timberjack could be a great aid! Gives good leverage and keeps fingers and feet safer.

I do plan on getting a cant hook or a peavey, but haven't gotten there yet. It would definitely help with the leverage.

I haven't played with an erector set with that many parts since I was a child. Wonder if they assembled it before shipping to find any problems.

@offgrid-fromtheashes6681 3 жыл бұрын

The answer is no. There were a few things each time that didn't line up quite right, but nothing that we couldn't find a solution to.

@lucasadams6536 3 жыл бұрын

One recommendation I would give is to take a smaller "bite" with the router bit, then take another pass a bit deeper, repeat, etc. That will allow you more control and you should be able to get cleaner pockets. A bit too late, but if you find you need to cut more notches, you may have an easier time of it. Thank you for posting these videos, great work overcoming significant challenges, you're an inspiration!

@offgrid-fromtheashes6681 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Lucas! We discovered the same thing. We ended up doing just that on the second half of the pockets we cut. We will have more pockets to cut in the future as well.

I bought extra bolts just in case they shorted me but there were PLENTY from the factory. I bought the OS23 thinking “Shoot! 23” logs? I’m never going to get any that big!” The third log barely made it through the guides. So if I ever buy another saw it will be the bigger model.

@offgrid-fromtheashes6681 3 жыл бұрын

I originally thought that OS23 would be big enough, but I measured some of the trees on my property first. I now find that I have to trim some of my logs to fit through the OS27. Bigger is almost always better.

Yes a good mix of hardwoods will bring in and sustain a much more diverse wildlife population. Many places in Canada the logging companies are changing the forest eco systems as they replant with only coniferous trees. Thanks for the video....

I always tell people during planning phase to always go big on their decks, its a living space and storage area, but I know you are limited to what you can do with this build. Its still a beautiful area and will bounce back in no time....Thanks for the video.

Agreed. The larger deck will be in the second phase. I will get a video out that shows the full design. I am just working on how to show it in 3D as I have the plans built in AutoCAD in 2D at the moment.

@___PK__ 3 жыл бұрын

Yep, that will do it. I would be worried squirrels will eat 'em though. We planted about 600 wallnuts last fall (~8 in deep), this year maybe 150 came up (the remainder dug up by squirrels). Plan now is to freeze over the winter and plant again in spring. Using little flags to help avoid chopping with weedwackers and mowers.

@offgrid-fromtheashes6681 3 жыл бұрын

There aren't many squirrels around right now. Most of them died in the forest fire. However, I expect that the deer and elk will like them as much as the squirrels. Either way, I am fine if not much grows in the spring if it also brings in more wildlife.
