I need some satisfaction! (Ft. Streaming now on Michify). Deck Disaster Ep3

Some ups and downs in this phase! I'm trying to be so productive and work really hard, but some of this is going to waste. Oh well, things are starting to pick up and make more sense, but also, a new chapter is unfolding!
Steve is home now from Japan and all other projects are in full swing too.
This deck situation is going to take some time this summer, so I need to learn to just pace myself. We have a lot of other things going on, and a whole other property that needs time and maintenance too.
Thanks for watching, see you in the next video!

[@henryoppermann134]

Michy, you should think about using the mechanical advantage of the skid steer, with a rope and sling you can turn the log, by using an offset loop and lifting the log so that it rotates….think about it before you mess your back up….use your brains instead of the brawn….is what my mom always said….just an old man’s observation…

"Girl, you got this" This line from that song describes you perfectly. I'm completely exhausted after watching your video. What an epic struggle! I laughed out loud when you comedically collapsed face down on the lawn. You mentioned in a previous video that the one thing you can't do is sing. Perhaps slightly off key, but I loved it anyway. More please! The composition of your videos has a wonderful natural flow and improves with each new video. Your choice of music, and when to use it, is spot on! Your use of visual humor and the ability to laugh at yourself are a couple of the reasons why I adore your channel. Some of my favorite moments are when you do voiceovers. The calmness in your voice has a therapeutic effect. I guess it's akin to this new phenomena called ASMR. I'm glad that Steve is home to help take on some of the physical and emotional burden that you've had to endure while he was away. Looking forward to next Sunday's video and the continuing adventures of the gorgeous Mighty Michy! ❤ ☮️ on 🌎

[@JW-fq1pp]

So, this should be a lesson to all. Houses should be standalone. Decks should be standalone. Any time you attach a deck to a house, expect water issues. I learned this on my first house, will never make that mistake again.

[@michygoss7148]

That’s interesting and something I hadn’t thought about. But it totally makes sense!

[@itsrob2321]

In USA the code requires the deck being attached to the house. There is a method of proper flashing that prevents water from getting behind the ledger board. I’m sure the combination of deep snow, rain, and subsequent ice is the issue here. I imagine ice dams trapped melting snow against the house. I imagine being connected to the house helps prevent catastrophic failure. A freestanding deck sounds good, but I’d want to be fully convinced it’s there to stay. Also, shovel the deck after each snow storm to help. Michy, you’re amazing!

[@JW-fq1pp]

@@itsrob2321 Maybe so in the jurisdiction where you are located. As far as I can tell, there is no US nationwide code requiring that a deck be attached to a residential building.

[@leonardstefanyshyn40]

lol when you said you were going to use the log wizard, I pretty much knew you would be going back to the draw knife. Been there , done that. Bark not coming off easy is a good sign for better wood. The sap was in the ground then and wood denser. Minimal checking.

[@troyqueen9503]

Sounds like you need a good chiropractor, getting older with no problems is achievable.

[@kenogden7221]

Good morning, Michele I have a suggestion that might make your life easier. If you rotate the log toward your walking side of the mill ( opposite of what you normally do. ) your sawblade would be cutting on a non-bark part of the log. The sawblade exiting the bark should not dull it very much even if the log is dirty thus eliminating the need to remove all the bark off the tree. You would only need to remove the bark for your first strip of cutting. It might be a little more difficult to ensure you had a 90° cut on your second cut, but I’m sure you have the talent to make that happen. Just a method to think about to make your life easier. Keep up the videos they are very entertaining in a bed of bark!

[@kevinknight470]

Yep, good advice, if She listens. 😃

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

You certainly are an amazingly hard-working lady Michelle 😊

[@peteryoung5791]

You have a young and strong back. Nice too keep it that way. If you have a length of 1 1/2'" or 2" Dia, length of steel pipe that could slip over the handle of the log rolling thingy and maybe double its length, leverage would increase dramatically. Almost role a log that size and have a sip of coffee at the same time..... Cheers, love your channel.

[@hartlow946]

Great work Michy. Love your determination. When putting logs on the mill you need to plan how to position the log before you make the first cut. Just rolling the log on the mill and dogging it and start cutting will not give you the best results. When you have defects on a log you must rotate the log so that the defects will be removed with your cuts. Usually it involves turning the log so defects are not going to be at 45 degrees to the flat surfaces of your cuts. Also lifting the small end of the log half the difference in diameter of the large end will give you the most good lumber out of a log. As for the type of wood you are using, if this lumber is going to be exposed to any type of weather, Hemlock is not going to work. It will be rotten in a few years. Also you need to avoid any sapwood. It will rot quickly no matter what species. Even a very decay resistant wood like cedar, the white sapwood will rot away just as fast any decay prone wood will. You can see this on the logs you said had staining, that is just the sapwood starting to rot. A lot of the damage to the house where the deck is attached is from water droplets and rain hitting the deck and splashing against the the wood of the house causing it to deteriorate. If you really want the deck to last I would seriously consider putting some kind of roof over the whole deck.

[@michygoss7148]

We are putting a roof over the deck! It will basically be a roof with a floating deck on top 👍

[@hartlow946]

@@michygoss7148 That is great. It will really help protect the deck. That is the same reason that they made covered wooden bridges, years ago.

[@stanleystrohm7442]

We have a mill just like yours, and we’ve found it easier to flip heavy logs if you turn the log stops around so that bevel on top is facing the opposite direction, and when you flip the log it doesn’t bite into it. At least that what we’ve found.

[@michygoss7148]

Some others have suggested adding ball bearings to the tops of the stops to assist in rolling

Some beautiful lumber out of those logs. Quick tip for the mill... The log stops face the other way when you know you're going to be rotating the log (7:24 mark). Short side of the angle faces the log to aid in rolling 😊

Wow, what a fab episode of milling and "Michyness". You've made my long weekend, with a "Monday off" (Thanks King!) new video. You definitely need to find a back-painless hydraulic solution to turning your logs when they're on the mill platform. No more of this "woman-handling tree trunks"! There has to be a bolt-on rig to turn and position these monster logs, powered by the Bobcat engine and hydraulic pump, even?

Dear (sometimes simply too) hard working Michygoss. You definitely could use 2 common, sturdy debarking tools with long handles (blades look like extremely sturdy spatulas/scrapers). One with a straight and one with a curved blade. These two will make your life sooo much easier that you will wish you had them before. I suggested the tools to Shawn James over and over again. Finally he bought them and is using the tools a lot for years now. 2) There is definitely a way better and easier to handle debarking attachment tool for chainsaws existing. I saw those in use several times on the Interweb. If I remember correctly, there is even one existing to put on electric chainsaws.

Making forward progress. I've never logged wood so I don't know what I'm talking about. But, why not skip debarking the wood and just run it threw the mill? Let the blade do the hard labor (make that blade feel the pain). Also, you're going to need a variety of wood sizes. Mix it up. Cut some of the smaller planks and braces you'll need. I can imagine the heavy wood from the rain. Lot's of grit.

You may want to consider flipping your braces on the back side around. I know the way you have them gives you a taller support, but if you flip them around, they will be less likely to dig into the log while turning. I use mine angled down toward the log.
