Great job! Looks good! I hope you secured the side of the boards on the notch side as well. I would’ve put the loft right where you did, wake up to that beautiful body of water and see the forest. I mean that’s why you made the cabin out there right?🤷‍♂️ Get it girl!!❤

[@petesavage9261]

Michelle, I wish you would put some railing around the deck on your cabin. I really get nervous when you get close to the edge. One slip is all it would take.

[@charliegordon5085]

Mich, not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but you could add plywood on top of your bed boards, that way from the bottom it looks rustic, but what you’re laying on is strong. I was concerned as you were crawling on the boards, as I could see them bend, ultimately making them shorter, which could then fall out. Stay safe. 🇨🇦

[@tonycosta3302]

Use a pair of pilers to slightly squeeze the wings of the zipper together. The gap can grow after repeated use, causing it to stop zipping correctly.

[@nickadamson6053]

First of your videos I've watched, the algorithm worked for you, yay! 😆 For your loft/bed space, those boards are going to flex too much and will begin to fail over time. I get that you'd prefer to keep the aesthetics, which is why I'm guessing you didn't set it up in a joist style configuration. Something to consider, to keep the aesthetics but give yourself considerable more security I'd suggest building out a cross brace system from underneath, kind of like how you would find on a barn door. Since you already have your beam in place, instead of trying to get the cross braces notched in, use some rafter ties/hold-downs or corner braces to tie the wooden cross brace to your beams. You could spray paint them black to give them a nicer look. Then for the cross braces themselves, wood glue and screws only long enough to get through the brace and your floor. I would split the length of the opening in 2, and either run 2 thick braces at mirrored angles across or use some thinner stock and make an X in the 2 spaces.

It’s my first time seeing your video and love the cabin. Deffinetly looked like quite the location. Keep up the great work. Small tip for the side road Pick your self up a portable air compressor when driving the narrow section with all the ruts air down your tires to 12psi. You will have way less issues driving the road. Re- air up back on the main road.

[@mattgirgenti3595]

A major truck difference going from unleaded to diesel is the substantially heavier front end. The 2500 Duramax is designed/expecting to have weight in the bed or towing. From experience with mine, if you add a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed and you'll find the traction, tracking, and stability will greatly improve.

[@tetedur377]

That's true of most pickups, though. Whenever I lived out in the Midwest, I'd throw an engine block or sandbags or something in the back of my pickups (C-10, F100, and so on).

[@johnulmer6715]

Yeah, but in that deeper snow, especially heavier snow, like that seems to be, once it grabs you and sends you off track, there's not much you can do but ride it out. Been there done that on my older, heavier 4X4s or my newer Trail Boss.

The drive out & loss of control scared me even though I already knew you were OK. Your self-reliance in how you tackle problems in sketchy conditions inspires me. The recycled wood loft and view are superb! I imagine happy times spent falling asleep and waking up to that incredible view. Your cabin looked like a peppermint candy with all the snow and red and green tape. Truly inviting in any weather. On another note, my 96-year-old friend showed me how she uses a small sheet of crumpled waxed paper as fire starter for her kindling or feather sticks. Works like a charm for a quick starting a fire.

[@mute7116]

Full moon nights will be really cool from the loft. What a view.

[@ChecoCanari]

The moist inside, is it not also a lack of ventilation? And a small suggestion: put a fan on your stove to spread the warmth faster in the cabin.

[@chrisfoote9522]

The inner cross beam of your loft bed where you notched out the ends: the extended piece of the beam that it hangs on seems rather thin. I would question the long-term structural integrity of that beam depending upon who-all and what-all you have up there. Thoughts include such things as other people using that loft where the weights might get higher than you have anticipated as a static load and any dynamic loads that will occur. Just a thought.

[@gdx52]

if she adds the right strong tie brackets with the proper fasteners, it should be fine.

[@Dave--FkTheDeepstate]

Agreed. Concerning. I'm no expert, but due to this weak point, it looks like the beam essentially has the load bearing strength of a 2x4 lying flat. You should be able to significantly improve the situation if you can find a properly fitting, metal, Face Mount Joist Hanger PS - that notch at 22:00 -- maybe screw in a 2x2 strip below the notch for added load bearing. Love your videos, Michelle! Even when your mrain is bush 🙂

[@rexhavoc2982]

Ya me too. The beam will split at the notch. Would have been better to taper the top. I would like to see 3, 3/8 or 1/2 inch threaded rods front to back also, to keep the bed boards from slipping out.

[@Jeff-mf5ee]

Hey Michelle, new to your site. Love it !! If you k own any good blacksmiths , they could forge you a rustic oversize joist hanger type of metal to give you the much needed support. I agree with the others that more weight etc may lead to the weaker end giving out. Just my 2 cents worth !

[@jamespppyacek342]

A ledger would have been more secure, easier, and stronger. I don't know what she's doing with the top and bottom beams clamped to sandwich the top plate? That is not sound construction technique.

[@waynehendrix4806]

I always have to laugh when someone says it's below zero. I almost thought you meant that it was cold. Then I realized that you meant C. Try heating up your cabin from 10 F. That's pretty common in eastern north America. I don't think anyone has really experienced life until they use an outhouse at 0-10 deg F. Interesting landscape there.

[@bill944]

Glad you're sticking to your original plan with the loft. You won't be satisfied any other way since that was the vision you originally had. Absolutely stunning views!

[@davefuelling7955]

I think if you put a single strip of aged wood across the center of your bed boards on the bottom and screw each board to that center strip it would tie all of the boards together to spread the load on them when you are up there.

[@dwightducker9891]

Wow what a great sleeping loft. Also the heat from the wood stove will rise and be warmer up there. Good job.

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Hello Michelle good to hear your okay, that kind of stuff is a little unnerving. The loft is taking shape, one more section would really balance the look and then put a second layer to have a bit more room uptop. It's taking shape just fine. Once you have the stone on that will help hold the heat longer. Stay warm and safe and have a great week, and God bless amen.

[@dougrobison5342]

Engineer a portable front railing that can be raised for work/snow/safety etc sessions and lowered for enjoyment/ relaxation periods so as to not take away the beautiful views you have captured from your deck and cabin yet provide a safety when needed! A lightweight pulley and winch system at the front corners could solve the problem which would raise/lower a barrier to prevent an accident. With your skills, talents, and aesthetic prowess, you can get both easily! Really enjoy your creativity and ingenuity. Doug Robison

[@dougrobison5342]

After reading all of the comments about your cabin front view and the potential for having a fall off the deck, I certainly would recommend a woven rope catch about five feet wide from the edge outward and along the length of the longest deck side, like they use for trapeze performers in the circus, placed around the outside edge of the deck placed level grade or slightly below deck level so as to not impede the fabulous view but also stop anyone leaving the deck hard surface inadvertently. This could be made by weaving strong enough rope in a tight “X” pattern ( 5 x 10 ) feet long which would allow rain/snow to fall thru but stop a human body from continuing to the ground and on down the steep slope. This could be supported by 4 poles 5 feet long outward from the deck to attach the rope “catch” to. This could be done frugally, aesthetically, and relatively quickly done yet still provide some safety protection while not creating ongoing maintenance issues. Good luck if you choose to accept this mission! This is only a suggestion and there never was or will be any intent to tell you what or should do if anything. Again, I enjoy your presentations and look forward to reading/viewing them often! Lt Col Doug Robison USAF Ret./ Capt. UAL Ret.

Good work, glad you didn't die. I see your Mr. Buddy sitting there, it can help take the chill off quicker if combined with your fire. I use the 20# tanks with the adapter hose, can last quite a while, but harder to haul up/down. Truck bed weights make a huge difference. I made a couple, years ago, out of 6" PVC pipe filled with sand, as sand bags eventually burst and make a mess. I cut the PVC almost the length of the bed, fill with sand, screw plugs on the ends, then put one on each side of the truck bed, bungee cords to attach to sides of bed at wheel-wells to keep them from rolling around. It's almost a 2-person job to get them in and out, but you only do it 2x per year. You can also lay a piece of plywood across them to create a shelf bed to toss things under for more storage.

[@michygoss7148]

I should have mentioned that I do turn it on to help - well, really just early in the morning between 4-7am to take the morning chill off. But I’ve also wanted to just test the stove on its own to see how well it performs in the space.

I would get thermal blanket material. and make yourself some window coverings to drop down at least during the night to stop one of the biggest entrances of cold into your cabin.

Hey Michelle, love love love your channel. You had asked how big a workshop should you build. I went through the same thought process and made a mistake. I build a 12 x 16 ft and realized that this size was a storage shed not a workshop. I spent so much time moving stuff to be able to work. I ultimately built a 40 x 80 ft workshop and it is perfect. I am not suggesting you do one that big, but I think that a 20 x 30 ft workshop is the minimal size. Building anything smaller is beneath your skill level. Since you will be building next to your home, you will have a lot more time since you don't have the travel time. Cant wait to see what you do!

Good ole Amazon, My account was compromised also. Nightmare to say the least. Rustic setting makes it great, stick to your guns it’s your vision. Your one motivated woman I enjoy watching these videos. Thank You
