[@marysenatore8856]

The cat on the head was HILARIOUS. We had no idea at the beginning 😅😅 thought it was a Minnesota hat 😅

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Bahahaha between the cat and the dog- no one was cooperating! Lol.

[@x35mmman]

I didn't even think of a cat .....as the hat...

[@charleshutchings9355]

So much fun you're having. You didn't hear me shouting that you need a winch. But you got it without my help. Thanks for another great episode!

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Haha no we didn’t hear your shouting but we should’ve honestly thought of that! We do have one on the mini truck, but it would’ve taken some finagling to get it into the right position to use the winch! Thank you for watching!! Still using the gloves and they’re great!!😉🌲

I always look forward to seeing what you are doing each week. I can imagine how heavy those logs are. We never know how much we are capable of doing until we try. Anxiously waiting to see how you get the beams up on the tree. Be safe.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Thanks, Jill! Those beams were unimaginably heavy, but you’re so right, you never know until you try! Stay tuned for this weeks episode! Can’t wait for you guys to see it in person! Have a blessed week! 🌲

[@ld5714]

A nutty cone dropping in to spend some time with you guys 🌲 I really enjoyed this vid and time with you guys. Jenna, I loved it when you said "this thing is a BEAST" and then smiled. Green is a nice color on you, the hat with the green knit cover and your hair - wow! A great shot was 6:53 - 6:57 the highlighting of your eyes. I felt so bad as you related to the difficulites and challenges of the morning and it was not okay, I could see the distress on your face. But as Ted said you'd been on the struggle buss but you were better now, the weight sure lifted. Nothing makes things better than circling the wagons in prayer and letting God help. Oreos are always a nice added touch also 😉 It was nice seeing all the dogs, cat and Finley and CJ involved. That was definitely a group effort moving those beams and milling the beams really turned out great. In the scene where Finley appeared to slip off the tree as she was standing on it, I wasn't sure if that actually happened of if she was following in Ted footsteps and clowning around. It was funny that toward the end I was thinking to myself that Ted hadn't done any clowning around, and then ... as he carried the ladder he stepped on the sled hahah. I laughed in surprise and it also took you off guard as well from your expression. He is such a character. Nice job editing all the footage into a very enjoyable piece Jenna. I know it took a lot of time and effort and I appreciate it very much. Have a great week ahead and please be safe as you are working with those heavy beams 🌲 . I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Thanks for dropping in and watching, Larry! I do like wearing the color green! Oh, that day was a total bugger, until we had to stop for a reset! We are so thankful for the kids being willing to help us! It was hard work, but it was also funny and we had fun doing it. Haha Finley ACTUALLY did slip off the beam! It was really slippery when it as debarked! And I assure, you, Ted will never NOT be clowning around! Thanks for the kind words on the editing, too! I really appreciate it! We'll always take all the prayers we can get. Ted and I hope you have a great week, Larry! See ya soon! 🌲

[@MapleRidgeHomestead]

It's a beaut! Those are some big beams, nice job milling them out. We remember this struggle but once there up you'll feel so good! Great video, can't wait to see them up in the trees. I thought Ted really fell this time 🤣

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Thank you so much! It is really coming along! Haha he's going to be like the boy who cried wolf... he really is going to legitimately fall and I'm gonna just be there laughing away and while he's laid up with a broken ankle or something! 🤣

What an elegant fall Ted 😂😂😂

[@TheLiFeInPines]

He always tells me "I'm workin on my walkin'" haha!

[@TownersMoments]

From my experience, doing stuff like this, it’s better to cut them down in fall and giving them a scab, which is basically cutting through the bark like a nice chunk through the bark, and then letting them sit until midwinter, and then peeling them or even cutting them in spring and waiting until winter makes it easier to peel the bark. Just a tip for next time when you do this because when you do it too early, that’s when you run into these issues. Also, they have attachments that you can put onto your grinder to do this instead of using those debarkers. 17:17

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Good to know! That makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately we don’t have the time to let them sit…. Hopefully it won’t be too bad for the next ones we have to do! We will have to look into those grinder attachments too! We hope you have a great week! 🌲 😊

[@delandbrooks3291]

When you're rolling a long log like that, chock the end opposite the one you're working. You can also mill the sides so it doesn't roll and is lighter. You may want to look up log skidders. They're a two wheel trailer that lifts one end of the log so you can drag it. Uses a come a long to lift so you don't have to manage the whole family to make it work.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful tips! We definitely tend to do the cheapest but hardest option! 😂 💰 We hope you have a great week! 😊🌲❤️

Very funny but did you know there is now a hand held mechanical bark stripper , l saw it being used by the couple who built a yurt in the Canadian forest. I do enjoy watching both of you having fun in the snow with your 3 lovely lab's and huge cat ( the original cat in the hat ! ) 😅

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Hi there! Yes! We've seen the debarking tool you can attached to a chainsaw I believe? (Ted would know) But we're trying to save as much money as we can AND we all find it rather satisfying to debark using the draw knife! Albeit, maybe not as quick or easy, but definitely less dangerous for the kids. ☺️ We're so glad you're enjoying the videos! Yes the big Cat in the Hats name is Rocky!

[@EDGEDIY]

you need a come along or a winch or a snatch block, but you made it work.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Haha you’ll quickly find out that we tend to do things the hard way in order to save as much money as possible!

[@surebrah]

I think a log flipper tool with a longer handle would help. More leverage.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

None of our pipes would fit over handle of the log ox, so we made due with what we had! Thanks for watching!

It’s a butte Clark got me laughing amazing how one movie with different lines sticks in our mind you know which movie l mean.Just for example bend over l’ll show you while Clark is holding a chainsaw with his mask on .I hope Ted did not get scratched to bad by your Cats ear muffs.Now your all need a cold plunge in the lake then a hot tube dunking and finally a good chiropractor. My back was hurting watching you guys. A very enjoyable video, now where’s the Tylenol that’s my last movie pun.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

A simple block and tackle would’ve been nice! Maybe we need to buy one 🤔

[@barbarabacker-gray9611]

It seems to me that you could have used your truck and a tree as a winch, no? Attach a rope to the beam, run it around a tree and attach the other end to the truck, drive the truck away, and pull the beam that way. I know it's a little late, but maybe for future reference.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

You know what, that’s a pretty dang good idea, thanks for the tip! We do want to build another one in the future, so we will definitely use this if possible! We all hope you have a great day Barbara! ❤️🌲😊
