The Great Escape!! 🤭😜🤩💃🏻
I take the freshly milled cedar strapping out to the cliff location, I install the last anchor bolt through the post and into bedrock, using my Bluetti power station, and finish off the cross bracing of the deck (well, mostly. I need to install one more).
Time to move onto the tyvek, finishing that off and working towards installing the foam insulation. I did cut open one window and temporarily install it cuz the tyvek is DRIVING ME INSANE! LOL.
The pack rats ruined by live edge counter. 😔
I whip out some siding and let me know your thoughts!!!
I am leaning most heavily towards the vertical siding option, which was my original plan. Because it was my original plan, I cut the logs at 8', not 10' (perfect for vertical, but not so much horizontal). I would also need to use more of the special cedar to cover the walls vs the vertical, sooooo, yeah, it's kind of a tricky one and hard for me to decide. I honesty like both options but my curiosity for the vertical might get me in the end.
Anyway...
So I was supposed to be a 'super woman' of sorts in my outfit, not so much a Dracula (like my friend Dale thinks I look like, lol).
Seeking names for her!!! 😜. What should we call her?!?!?
As always, thanks a bunch for watching and I'll see you in the next video!

Hi

[@rimy.aboro.11]

😳😳😳

[@markmcdowell6878]

Can you please just put a temporary rail even if it's just one to buy for going across the back?? 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤. please 🙏🙏🙏

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

I would definitely go with horizontal boards for the siding. 1) it would match the shed and 2) water will shed down and not get between the boards and the house wrap which would set you up for rot.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Eeeeeexactly! Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@janking2193]

If you don't have enough of the siding for overlapping, you could mill something different and alternate boards.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear @@janking2193 👍👌👏 Exactly my thoughts too. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@danielhaynas5723]

yup..horizontal..my opinion 👍

[@sarge12212]

You beat me to it! 😎👌

[@Amigatech]

No shed latch can contain ... MIGHTY MICHY!!! Whether it be a skii through the woods in the dark, or a hike miles into the wilderness to find Clyde and bring him safely home, MIGHTY MICHY is always up to the task, and alive in the heart of the super hero we all know as michygoss. Awesome video, as always!

[@MrPaulviles]

“Salacious Siren” 😂

[@curtkuhns]

The word strikes like a thunderbolt. Hat's off.

[@AppieAbspoel]

personally i would place the planks horizontally and overlapping. That keeps water out. Vertical planks (I think) allow water to penetrate earlier. You have already done a lot of work, congratulations!

[@annabel1792]

Definitely horizontal looks more put together. My husband and I love your videos we have 160 acres recreational land and feel your pain when it comes to the maintenance trails cutting back brush…we know the work that goes into keeping everything functional. 😊

[@terryhayes4690]

So funny, I love watching your videos. STEVE is a lucky man to have somebody with a personality that you have.

[@Jason_xofilos]

I concur.

[@antonboludo8886]

You are a professional construction worker with highly advanced skills. Your hubby is also a pro. All the best for the both of you!

[@vwmasstransit]

2:56 OMG!! That grand exit was so awesome. 🤣🤣

[@brucescott4753]

GO VERYICAL!! I like the vertical reverse board and batten. Built our house in 1990 with the standard vertical board and batten. No issues of rot. My dad told me to put a bevel on the bottom of the boards that made the end of the board pointed, bevel toward the house. Point on the outside. This gives the water a way to drip off instead of soaking back into the bottom of the board causing rot. GO VERTICAL!!!!

[@og9839]

The music at the end is my favorite... I love synthwave that came out of the 80's.....

[@gregoldham4986]

Horizontal siding all the way!!! What a project, you go girl!!!

[@wilmervalles1509]

The Great Escape was hilarious! 🤣 Love the Super Woman costume. lol

[@brianpeters5694]

I like the look of the horizontal boards. Having said that, you should do whatever makes you happiest. You're the "Supervisor In Charge", the "Head Carpentress", the (you know what I mean)!

[@jerrycrow4901]

As far as the siding goes i like horizontal better. Otherwise it'll look like a giant outhouse if they are vertical lol. Another wonderful video. I'm still so impressed on your determination and skill! You truly are a wonder woman!

[@gregb1237]

A couple options on how to incorporate vertical live edge siding. - Do something like wayne scotting (just horizontal lap siding with a cap plate/board) at the base of the wall (come up the wall about three feet). Then do your life edge vertical siding from the top of the cap plate/board to the top of the wall. I'd overlap the vertical siding by at least an inch or lay it over the top of plywood sheeting. (Yes, I know, that means a lot more wood.) - Do something like a Tudor style face. Run the siding horizontal, but have vertical live edge pieces

[@johnbush2798]

Horizontal shiplap siding would definitely stand up to the weather better than vertical siding...for the same reasons that shingle roofs are installed in an "overlap" method. Water and snow will sheet off od shiplap, but wont on vertical siding.

[@richardgreen3160]

I like the idea of vertical boards, a bit quirky but fitting

[@LifeontheMoose]

Horizontal is my vote for the siding. Great video!

[@corydriver7634]

Steve’s response to your text had me rolling.😂 “ At my girlfriends house.” My wife would have broke my expensive tools and she knows I know that-I’d have had to rescue her.😂

[@brianmcewen5026]

I prefer the horizontal boards. It matches your shed and you still get a live edge showing. Having said that it is best you do it the way you ultimately decide. It will be yours and it will still look great.

[@meirionevans5137]

Vertical siding looks better amongst the trees, but horizontal is better to keep weather out. Cordless Girl!

[@MBRMrblueroads]

If you like Bluettie then I love it. Glad to see a rope on that drill. 👍👍

[@brucemaples6874]

I think the horizontal siding half way up...then a shiplap cut horizontal cedar to over lap the bottom....then finish out the top half with the virticle board and bat....best of both worlds.....it would add a lot to the visual.....I am sure that whatever you do, it will look great !!!

[@randybaker9265]

I really like the vertical, maybe bring that up to a certain point, then put the horizontal over that to keep the water out . The horizontal is more water resistant, but I think the vertical would look amazing.

[@spidermurph]

I like the vertical. Love this project.

[@johngoodroe809]

Michy your ensemble assortment is mind boggling, in a good way. I will not be surprised if I sit to watch and there is a pirate,fairies or 1920's era flapper working on something. Thank you for the entertainment, education and pure fun you give us.

[@raydavis3471]

I spent 47 1/2 in the construction business. Some large commercial, but mostly high end remodeling and custom homes. I am impressed. I especially enjoyed your handlng of the framing hammer. And you held it appropriately too, for maximum force to the nail head. Thanks for an enjoyable video.

[@thetalesofrozgardthered7740]

"Same," in regard to the framing hammer. It's good to see someone use it properly.

[@danieloliver20]

You've got me beat by a half year Ray swinging a framing hammer. Great job Michelle with the hammer, get that cabin with a view dried in and start to enjoy it!

[@andrewkennedy3859]

You can use that Hilti Drill to chip the rock into a flat spot for the deck post to sit on. There is a setting on the Hilti for chipping the rocks or concrete, works the best with a chisel bit for the hammer drill.

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

Great job on your cabin build Michelle, I like the vertical siding look, stay safe up there

[@johnsigmon8439]

Agree with both points. Horizontal. You could stagger the board ends.

[@sunchaserw1477]

This is really breath taking to me. For a lady who has no construction experience at all, you can build a little house like this particularly on such a cliff, I couldn't admire enough for your grit and determination. Considering the weights of every piece of timber you need to carry uphill, I am totally surrendered to your efforts. Congrats. Besides, your not only gifted but also full of sense of humor.

[@intoart340]

I just found you today. I think I am on the fourth video. You are an outstanding woman. You do all you do with humor, determination and are a good looking woman. I am in awe. Steve is so lucky. Best wishes to you.

[@ozarkdaredevils]

I am impressed by your ability to adapt ....... When I first started to watch your show I thought you were an odd looking lady .... Now I think your stunning and beautiful . Keep up the progress !

[@ozarkdaredevils]

Maybe one day Ill rate a heart from you ...

[@chillaxer9767]

Clif hanger ❤❤❤

[@Victorialands]

I knew you’d bust outta that shed one way or the other! Gotta admit, l admire pretty much all that you do. Getting out and about the way you do, you don’t cower at anything it seems. Being out alone in the forest on the edge of a mountain… l truly admire your talents and abilities to be creative, push forward and conquer pretty much anything. I’ve dealt with anxiety and panic attacks most of my adult life, doing even the most common task or activities one would call normal can on some days be challenging. Watching you has pushed me out of my bubble to try things l normally would not do. Or just give up out of fear. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration. PS: l do like the vertical… not everything has to match, as far as having horizontal siding like your tiny cabin in back. Either way, l’m sure what ever you choose, will look just great :)

[@1930-Ford]

What a nice way to spend a Sunday morning. You're so humorous.

[@normanmallory2055]

Myself I would match the siding direction the way you did on your shed ! I like the idea you had on the Blue power banks , power all your tools on site where you use them , camera batteries and drone too , no question it’s a plus ! Use of the Honda generator to recharge the Blue banks , it’s a good system you have ! You have a done a great job so far , no matter how you look at it , it’s quite an undertaking to pull off what you did !

[@kevinknight470]

MSPW, Mountain Side Princess Warrior works for Me, LOL. Thanx for sharing.😃

[@badass98kx250]

Definitely would go with horizontal Michy love your attitude on life and Steve's

[@831BeachBum]

One of the many things I like about watching your videos is that they are not boring. They to me are exciting. Innovative. Keeping in the spirit of Michygoss. Got to thinking the vertical hung boards would break up the continuity of the warming shed horizontal installed boards. Perhaps you could after installing those boards on west side of cabin where the sun hits build a ledge of sorts to hang those solar panels on to keep them off the deck and out of the way when you are walking on the deck. Looking forward to next video.

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Michelle, you could call your character Crazy Woman. I suspect that might fit. Great to see you having fun. You should know we're having fun watching you as well. I'd go with horizontal. It just seems to fit considering the wind, rain snow an sleet. Lots of hugs for the dogs. Thanks for Sharing!

[@CarlosPerez-bu9th]

Help Mich, love your videos. Like your smile, with your precious eyes.

[@jameselpers2967]

Some of your skits are humor at it's finest.

[@richardclark.]

Plastic shovel. Dig hole in shed floor. Plant big pile of grass seed. Wait for spring when the shed is lifted from grass and you can crawl out the hole. Easy peasy!

[@wesmattimore2895]

I would go horizontal on siding, it ties everything together with shed..that outfit is fire..you and steve roll play 😊... I WOULD.... Your doing a fantastic job

[@spal3907]

i sugged you cross brassing in your last to last video , tie down your whole structure for extra loadof heavy snow or torando or storm winds a little wind turbine for extra power source for charging your battery backup too

[@rjsieder]

I like the idea of a few feet of horizontal siding, a ledger, and then vertical the rest of the way up. Best of both worlds, and some continuity with the shed, while still being different. I'm concerned about moisture penetration with the vertical though. One thing is for sure, I'd never be able to build this while designing it on the fly like you're doing. I'd want it all planned out. Obviously you are doing planning as you go in your head, so there is "a plan", but if it was me, I'd need to have more of it worked out beforehand. Great job!

[@timschaible9962]

Vertical has my vote. Love the Supper woman outfit.

[@homeriliad1377]

Aww, you coulda busted the door down,...😁 Good Visual narrative story telling. On your building vids too. It's like hanging out with you.🧡👍🔨🐕

[@rexhavoc2982]

U sing a 1 gallon pump up sprayer apply several coats of used diesel engine oil to all the under pinning's, Or use a paint roller. It works better than store bought treatments. Vertical needs Bats, Remember to only screw batts between the siding boards so they can shrink and move as needed. Mix it up and do both, you only need short horizontal boards around window walls.

[@federalist46]

So much fun watching you do buff stuff yet remaining a girly girl. Thanks for the smiles.

[@marccorriveau1220]

The Peavey-Pole Dancer?

[@SP6X6]

drill a small hole above latch on shed and attach small length of cord to it with it attached to top of latch, pull from inside and it lifts latch.Siding pick what you like the tyvek is the true barrier.

[@robertbonn1481]

Kudos Michelle, I know you never panicked !!!

[@martinmchugh001]

A brilliant Houdini act! The great Escape Woman! As usual...a great episode and all your hard work is paying off.

[@Ianhurley54]

Costume perfect! Such a lot of work just to get to the cabin but so so nice!

[@silver_cd]

We have those latches on our chicken coop and on the run door. We drilled a hole through the building right above the latch and fashioned an emergency pull handle for that exact reason it lifts the handle from the inside.

[@AngryRod71]

If you go vertical you can put normal cedar below and then cover the edges with the black cedar

[@BirdYoumans]

Sunday morning, coffee, smiles and Michy! You're amazing but please be careful!! ❤❤

[@tjptony]

It’s Mitchy Woman to the rescue. Great videos as always. We all love your humor, perseverance, and imaginative wood working. No news on the lost saw yet? The wildlife has run off with it.

[@michygoss7148]

No saw yet

[@billchmelik5697]

Board and batton is a more rustic look, and I prefer it. It is also quick and easy to install as opposed to clapboeard siding

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Okay Michy, well the siding is really up too you.. if you want it to match then do it horizontal, otherwise vertical. I do know that come mid October the weather going too change, thus making it difficult once again. And the handrailing can wait, get your cabin dried in and weather tight. Have a good week and count your blessings amen.

[@whiskeywhiskeyromeo3730]

You are kicking ass Michy....I usually talk about your ass but this time it's about respecting your ass kicking work ethic.... You are badass!!!

[@johnnyk4551]

Your reenactment was so real, I had anxiety and some claustrophobia. I called my girlfriend but she was at her other boyfriends so I started drinking beers. Thank god we both survived!!

[@alancollett5566]

I would go with horizontal siding, and it would also match your shed, can totally relate to vertical, but think horizontal the way to go!

[@johnconnelly3674]

Horizontal to match the shed.

[@joehuinker7009]

Now I remember why I watch your videos Michelle. Alot of McGiver!

[@ryanwilliams1651]

Steve must be highly entertained!!!

[@jimknott183]

Oh, I literally laughed my a** off! 😂😂😂

[@robinson4513]

Love ur videos you are such a fun, confident, beautiful, and hard-working person... thank you for sharing

[@ukpaullouis2708]

Sometimes, well most times you just make me smile! 😁

[@pgregory6357]

Those windows will be the icing on the cake!

[@davep6977]

Anchoring up right to rock-good idea. I might have used 2 "L" brackets instead of a bolt thru the middle which might split. You could use 2- "L" and put them on the anchor bolt like "washers" under the nut so they would L on either side of the upright. You're very hard working, but I would expect no less from a super hero. Mighty Michy

[@garywarren5048]

Funny stuff Michelle. If you're thinking the siding is easier a certain way I would go with that!! It's going to look good either way.

[@GirdHerd]

Horizontal lap siding would be more water proof and it looks good with the live edge. BTW, You look great in that outfit. Steve is a lucky guy.

[@stevepowell2508]

Definitely horizontal siding. Awesome job, btw.👍

[@jeffyoung245]

You and Steve both give me smiles and hope. Thank you both.

[@eriksforestryvision8751]

What a bad ass gal. Pulling off those shorts perfectly as always.

[@SeansNewWorld]

Love your sense of humor 😁 I like the horizontal boards personally.

[@bigguy5155]

i was not expecting that outfit when you got out, WOW!!!

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Kkkkkk....pretty smart 😊🎉....I like your suggestion for the ceder wall choice 🤗

[@johnpelszynski6646]

I would love to have your energy. I would love to have 2 of you. Those power systems are not cheap. YOU NEED to wear a safety line ALL the time on that deck.

[@ZackaryMac]

Steve and I have the same sense of humour. It's exactly what I would have wrote back to my wife. I showed my wife this part and she laughed and said "Yup!".

[@michygoss7148]

🤭

[@buckchamp9011]

Hello 👋🏻 glad to see your back must be feeling better. 👍🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦🌹❤️

[@ralphparks1810]

Doing a great job!! Cedar boards I would put horizontally:)

[@church8042]

Michelle and Steve, Hi! I really enjoyed the video. TY for all the hard work and cannot wait to see it completed. The Great Escape was so funny and TY for the smiles. A name? Hmmm. How about Dame Liberté. It is more than getting free from the shed, but about the freedom you have to create and inspire. God bless you both. Prayers for your peace, safety, and joy! God Bless! ~John

[@yttkuar]

Oh - the suspense!!!!

[@Victorialands]

Dear Michelle and Steve, With all the fires in BC and the Okanagan area l do hope you and your family are all safe and well. We have a home in Lake Country and the fire jumped the lake yesterday morning. Scary sh!t! Please be safe!

[@clark7117]

Love the progress. You could strip your horizontal pieces into multiple odd lengths, you don't necessarily need them to be the full length of the cabin. Or cut them into a smaller shake style. Shake it up! I'm sure it'll look great.

[@LightningDogg]

That's what I was thinking👍 It would look better than same ol same ol symmetrical.

[@10to1imjokin]

I really really liked the look of the vertical siding, but any little Gap is going to be big enough for creatures to get in. Otherwise I think it would look great. And I call her Canada Wonder Woman, whether or not she is wearing the cape and mask.

[@DB-fh7fl]

Another channel I watch, Building a house from trees( AKA Bus Huxley) he went vertical but not with live edge. He did board and batten which turned really nice

[@TheYeti308]

Yes Mam , I got a portable electric source a while ago , what a leap forward . !

[@ALLANROACH1]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@richarddebeer9081]

OK, I'm convinced that your wit is truly outstanding which just makes you perfect now. Clever.Bravo.

[@hughescoston8480]

The horizontal batten will be more efficient at keeping out the water!

[@brianbrown543]

I love you videos. Both the build parts and you characterized parts (so funny). Your latest character is definitely "Femme Fantastique!"

[@VTREAK]

Hi Michelle, my vote is for horizontal siding. It will give you better water shedding. Love to see you work on your projects, it is a pleasure to see you solve the problems you come across. Happy building and living.

[@markk7032]

Lockpicking from inside out unique

[@d.vanman3749]

Horizontal up about a third of the way..vertical the rest ..doing a good job Michelle..thanks

[@lonmartin1353]

Horizontal for sure. Much better weather resistance. Thanks for the video, Wonder Woman!
