Hey Don. Good progress on the wood siding. Nicer days ahead for working.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks & I agreed so went fishing ! & the work is still here when I got home :( We'll get at it tomorrow, Take care

[@orionoutdoorsandworkshop5617]

hammering away. funny how we work so hard and energetic so we can sit still and quiet waiting for a deer to come along. LOL coming up soon my friend. take care and work smart. a little quiet time is right around the corner. (not for long though it never lasts, its right back to the grind.)

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

You got that right! Work extra hard so we can sit & do nothing lol, & yup hunting just around the corner :)) I worded hard so gone to the lake today ! Thanks for watching"

Thanks it's coming together :)

[@wilburtwo9709]

That siding sure would look good, sprayed down with linseed oil. Great job, Don

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes, thanks I do have a plan for stain but so many things on the go & winter getting closer so we'll see :) Thanks for the comment"

[@offgridsolarpower]

Awe it’s always cool to watch your videos ! Especially because I couldn’t imagine off grid life in Alberta! It’s so cold in the winter there!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Glad you like them! Just looks cold lol, as fall rolls in our bodies adjust, lots of way to hot in the summer & sometimes we just stay in & stay warm in the winter :) It's just all about being prepared ! Dress warm & enjoy the skidoo we get frosty because our body is so warm even more so when your working :) -20c is kind of my limit for skidooing but a nice walk on a crisp day is kind of nice :) Thanks so much for watching !

[@offgridsolarpower]

@@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 Yea, it reminds me of being back home ! And I like the nostalgia !

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

@@offgridsolarpower Yes Alberta can be a beautiful place summer or winter but it can throw some nasty at us once in a while too, & of grid is only as hard as you want to make it on yourself, ( knowing how to be prepared is the key) I have been off work for a few years with a crippled back but I make it work everything, just a little slower & better planning ( Think smarter not work harder ) It's a great program lol,

[@offgridsolarpower]

@@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 yea that’s actually a very true statement! I haven’t ever fully looked at it that way!

[@OffGridWithChrisandKristie]

Good lookin breakfast there!!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks :) I was on the road for 4 days so just got home now the catching up ! Lots of garden stuff before we get a frost which is usually this first week in Sept but just got home so will see tomorrow :) thanks for watching

[@rockcrusher4636]

Looks great, new sub. Just a little tip, the wall planking needs a 45 degree angle cut on the bottom edge, that way water will drop right off and not wrap around and rot the board. Cheers.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks :) never thought of that makes sense, but i know it will stand many years after I'm gone lol, I am not a carpenter but I've built everything you see on the property just a lot of planning I make work :)) Thanks for watching"

[@rockcrusher4636]

@@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 Thanks for the answer, another tip is your doors should open outward, mostly in case of fire. When that kind of emergency happens you want to get out quick, maybe even avoiding something in the house that has fallen over and could be blocking the door in the dark. Cheers.

[@deadpinecollective]

Looks great

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks :) Had to take a little break but back at it hard tomorrow, Thanks for watching

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Never tried eggs in our potatoes before. First thought was eeew but we're going to give it a go. You always have good advice. Lol! 😊❤✌️🇨🇦

Trying to catch up here been gone 4 days :) Thanks Mike

@@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 It doesn't take long for the chores to pile up eh!!

[@KenC49]

Hey Don! A half a pound of bacon would been good in your breakfast. Lol. Maybe a couple slices for taste. My mother n law thought there was something wrong with me when I put eggs in with my fried potatoes back in the day. Good eaten rite there. One of my favorite meals. I call it camp grub. Your cabin is looking great 👍

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yes usually lots of meat if you have have seen me cook:)) I have to give my hand a break so I'm going to try fishing tomorrow lol, Thanks for watching"

I might get away once more before the snow flies never know but all starts around the 10th of June every year !

[@kenerdman4844]

Yup! No better smell in the morning than fried onion and potatoes. And maybe some bacon LOL!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Yup even some copped fried round steak :) about twice a year it's just onions & potato's, Thanks for watching" My road trip should be up next week ! Fishing :))

[@exploringmybackyard]

good morning Don the siding looks fantastic so did you breakfast quick question? Are you going to leave deciding as is or are you going to put a stain on it?

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Thanks :) The lumber will dry more once it's on so I do have a plan for stain but it might wait until May, unless we get a super nice fall :) thanks for the comment"

When does your Cook Book come out? LOL

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Lol ! Never one meal the same as another at my home :) But maybe I should start writing down what goes in the pot or not it might scare me ! When you eat your own cooking for this long no sense to start complaining now ! Thanks for watching I just got home from a little road trip :) Thanks for watching
