Need rail to protect to fall down

[@bobblack6816]

I’m never going to be able to feel comfortable UNTIL you get a railing on that deck overhang!😱

[@bobbylineberry146]

Perfect way to start in the middle in this situation. Even the best builds are never perfectly square. Sometimes you make it where it looks the best .

[@realmister7]

Starting with the line in the middle is the right way Michy Chopping the pedestal legs one by one was pretty ingenious Sorting the floor always makes things look tidy - no wonder you're excited it feels like a mini home now

[@Good-Citizen]

Michelle. What is the propeller thingy on the Sky Mule?

[@Good-Citizen]

Michelle. Try Tajima measuring tapes. Japan made quality. Just sayin'.

[@ricknelson8886]

By the time you see this, you'll be done, but measure the width at the back of the cabin, find the center of that measurement and mark the center on the floor, repeat this at the front of the cabin. Then do that on the front to back on each side, then chalk line those marks, your lines will be square on the floor despite the walls not being square! Always looking for your videos on Sunday morning!

[@michygoss7148]

Ahhh, so easy!

Ya did good kid!! ❤ some day I may get my email straightened out too. Can't send or receive. Focusing on my third you know what. I'd love to kiss your finger or anything else that hurts. -Curt❤❤

[@medic501]

@@michygoss7148 I have started in the middle with a groove facing a groove, with a spline between the two (in place of a tongue). Then as you work toward either side, you have a tongue for the nailer to catch on. But whatever works! Great job, always enjoy the updates.

NOW it looks like a cabin ! Before it was just a project. Well done !

[@pgadams1]

The floor is beautiful, and your solution to flooring under the stove was brilliant!

[@vincentcotnoir1356]

Wow ! the floor is just " Wow " ! and the finger is " Outch " ;) Cutting the leg for the stove was really a smart idea Michèle. And the sunrise drone shot was perfect, Thank for the video love it...

[@paulperry1021]

Michelle, I think you are a special girl. The energy that you possess for both your “projects “ and your love for your pets is inspiring. You’re as real as it gets. I am sure that Steve is a very successful guy, but I will also say that he is very lucky to be with you. Keep being you and please continue sharing content. Thanks!

[@jeffchmielewski6873]

Well said.

[@robertlabonte8925]

That floor looks amazing!!! It looks like it has always been there, like what you would expect to see if you found a cool cabin in the woods! That flooring was meant to be in the cliff cabin! A little tip, use a piece of scrap flooring and a multitool and you will cut under things perfectly for the flooring to slide under. Love it!

[@cemcstay]

That solution to cut each leg and insert the flooring was brilliant! Good luck with the finger healing.

[@dalefriday5496]

Loooove the flooring! PERFECT look for Cliff cabin. It was very nice watching this video. When I first started watching your channel, you were just starting the pirs/stilts on which to frame the cabin. Great memories.

[@Bluenoser613]

One of your clamps can be reversed to push instead of pull. Push the grey circle on the top part to remove it so it can be flipped and put on the other end. The floor looks amazing!

[@awurth666]

That flooring is absolutely perfect in that cabin!

[@colmdevlin5340]

Hi Michele, the reclaimed wood flooring looks fantastic, i would love to sit on the deck at the cabin, stars twinkling in the dark sky and drinking a few beers with a dog by my side, that will be enough for me

[@GaryWilkerson-o3b]

Absolutely wonderfully beautiful shots during the aerial. Stunningly beautiful.

[@foipa1]

Pablo Picasso has a pencil drawing at MOMA I love. Five intersecting lines makes your mind work in negative space. At once you see a cabin with smoke coming out of a chimney from a cabin tucked into a wooded mountain side. When you look close it’s just five lines. The drone view of your project makes me see his work and I smile, great minds think and act along the same lines!

[@jimknott183]

I’ve smashed my fingers in exactly the same fashion more than once and lost an index finger installing a floor. Installed many floors and knee pads are #1 priority. Your vintage used flooring looks phenomenal!❤😊

[@markwalk29]

10 points for solving your fireplace problem. One step at a time or one leg at a time. Either one works. :)

[@kathleenlairscey5934]

Even new flooring is warped. I had to use screws half way into floor and crow bar to push against screw until tight and straight. And I always started on longest edge of room against the wall. My grandpa tore down old houses and salvaged the wood like you did. He built a really nice house like that. Very hard work.

Healing thoughts for the finger... -- great job on the floor, that was not easy. And I may have said it before but waking up with the loft view is golden. - cheers

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Michelle, I think every minute we've watched you work on that cabin has been a joy. So when you start talking about three years just looking at an unfinished floor it's hard to imagine its been that long. I've worried plenty about you getting hurt out there so a broken finger seems acceptable compared to the kinds of injuries I've imagined. wishing you a great week. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

Cut a scrap piece of wood just a bit longer than the gap, then wedge it in and pound down to force the board in place. Cut a variety of scrap lengths that can be used separately or combined to deal with different gaps. Cutting one leg at a time under the stove was genius. Nice!

[@zipperflyopen125]

Very good work with a great result. However, be careful with the zipper on the fly of your jeans, it is a little open. 21:52 - 29:40

[@mo12duck34]

I've seen you try to make very difficult small cuts with various types of saw except the one that works like no other, a oscillating flush cutting saw. You can do plunge and flush cuts that can only be done with a oscillating saw. As a retired flooring guy it's the most handy cutting tool I've ever used. If I could find a woman like you I would consider remarrying. Love your stuff.

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

I used to use a jig saw for all my smaller cuts, but small cuts close to an edge doesn't give you much material to use as a base while cutting, and cutting anything out of the center takes drilling a hole/s first, so while I initially bought a oscillating flush cut saw while installing flooring, to flush cut some material off the bottom of door jambs, have found a whole lot of other uses for one, and is my go to now, especially with being able to plunge cut with one very easily. I've often thought Michelle could use one, especially when she is trying to remove material, of something already installed, to custom fit another piece of wood into a tight area. Ditto on the remarrying thought!

[@michygoss7148]

That’s one tool I don’t have out there!

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

Just an fyi after thought. Mine is a Porter Cable, electric, but there are so many brands out there, and cordless, if you don't have one and wanted to look, if you thought one might work in a lot of your projects. The blades wear fairly quick, depending on what your cutting, but aren't expensive and I bought a pack of 25 no-name, to have some extras besides the ones that comes with it. I also use mine to cut out old pieces of drywall to fit a patch, and with the smaller blade, it's very easy to follow the line, to get an exact patch fit.

[@raystackon5113]

I'm really sorry to hear about your finger actually being broken. You are quite a tough cookie, maybe more like hardtack.

[@danyedeline8958]

You are a Hoot! I am in Alaska and working on my cabin and can say i have almost have built it by myself and my neighbor friend. I enjoy watching you’re KZbin channel and look forward to new videos! I was upset along with the passing of Clyde. So Very sorry! I have 3 English Mastiffs as my cabin residents from day 1. My last Mastiff is 12 years 3 months old so i feel youre hurt with the fur babies! Keep up the videos I truely enjoy them.

[@Mike-du4tq]

That floor is perfect for the cabin, from one wood hoarder to another I know the feeling I've got an old true dimension 2x4 24"s long I've had for 15 years it seems to have about 250 rings per inch 'almost' that I'm saving for the perfect project, yes it's an incurable affliction that our loved ones need to have a great sense of humor about & let us do what we do!! Be safe have fun & congrats on that new layer or armor on that finger!

[@veronicatallman9160]

Using the wood stove - get a good bed of coals from soft woods, the load it tight with hardwood, and shut it down. It might smolder loneger than 2 hours.

[@amerritt261]

I love how you manage to get everything done. I don’t do a whole lot anymore. But I still try to make sure animals have good homes and give the ones here lots of love. I wish I had your energy. I would love to add you to the foster to adopt list but won’t without your permission.

Another great cabin update! Ironically, for flooring that was going to be tossed out, you couldn't buy that amazing patina. It suits your cabin perfectly. Love it.

[@richardrojas6306]

Michelle, another beautiful You and your floor looks amazing. A quick wit to trim each leg and then immediately support it. That's a Wow factor. The love and hurt finger and excitement in your voice were your Endorphins (neurotransmitters) responsible for making you feel happy. They can also alleviate the feeling of pain and anxiety or stress. You flow good , beautiful. Looking forward in your next project. I had a tear for Clyde and that photo is fitting on your cell. He will remain in your heart. RIP Clyde 🦴🦴 Bigs hugs from Santa Barbara CA. 🤗😘🫶👋🌹🍷🙏😎

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Michy, you silly goose stop hitting yourself with a hammer, because it hurts. The floor does look good though. As for a couch either buy a sectional, or make one that can be built at the house, in sections and assembled at the cabin. There actually pretty easy to make, and even the foam can be sourced through Amazon, even the throw pillows which are much safer then throwing metal objects. And a clean job site is a happy job site. 😇👍have a good week and count your blessings, amen. 👌✌️👋🇨🇦🙏

[@douglasbarr552]

Michelle: Douglas from Ontario here again. That floor you put in the cliff cabin looks absolutely stunning. Gorgeous rustic look. And I love the fact that you rescued that would from someone's burn pile! I find myself doing the same thing from time to time, and have the same problem throwing things out when I really want to keep them. I guess I got that from my dad, he lived through the Great depression, and those folks never threw anything out if it could possibly be used in the future. If you ever decide to put that up for B&B please PM me.. I am dying to get back to BC, I spent 6 months in Castlegar 15 years ago, and almost bought a house there. Fantastic work I absolutely love your little cabin on the cliff. My condolences to you and Steve on your loss of Clyde 😔 he had the greatest hound dog howl I have ever heard❤ Hope your finger heals well and quickly. Please look after yourself, love watching your videos!! Douglas

[@patricklaughrey8727]

Note to Steve. Don't waste your money on flowers. Dig thru the dumpster and give her beat up old flooring😅

[@michygoss7148]

❤😂

[@WoodenWonders99]

Pipe clamps are the most suitable clamps for the flooring job. I made a bunch of them. Bought the clamps and some old fashion plumbing pipes and a Ratchet Pipe Threader Kit. Voilá!

[@richardmartinek3467]

That changed the space so much that it went from shelter to cozy in the blink of a floor. Great Job

[@Utahdropout]

Oh yes...! Another Smiley Sunday. Michelle, I want you to know I appreciate how much effort you put into these recordings. The amount of time you put into moving the camera to get the shots so they look like the camera is "following" you is excellent. And those drone shot....! Good ol' Clifford is looking soooo good. I was gob smacked by the view you have from the loft. To be able to lie there at night and see the stars in all their glory is just the most special thing. I can see how you would fall in love with Clifford over and over. You have created a wonderful little piece of paradise there. That floor came out great.

[@michygoss7148]

❤❤❤

[@fredsons2241]

Use scraps of flooring to jamb in between the stud and floor board and pry it over. There is a tool that is adjustable that makes this problem so easy. Sometimes I drive a big screwdriver into the subfloor and just winch the board over. Probably a bunch of us that would love to be there helping!

[@1spiralout]

Or just slide the handle of the clamp off, flip it around and then you have a spreader...

[@twc-projects]

Great job with the floor. It really did turn out so beautifully. Thought you were nuts when you said you would cut one leg at a time. But per usual, you surprised me again with your resourcefulness, determination, and creativity. You're a rock star. 😎❤

After seeing your injury, I am sure a few of us woodworkers now know what to get you for Christmas. Also happy to see those clamps in use.

[@roald48]

If you went diagonal, you wouldn't have to worry about squaring the lumber. Your neighbor across the lake was waving frantically, wanting his pier back. LOL Doesn't get old. Ha Ha What a beautiful rustic looking floor.

[@johncrane3676]

Agree. Another point is with slider clamps the ratchet can be turned around to spread things er oh... But they don't handle compression as well as tension.. no innuendo intended..

[@mikegage4933]

WOW - the reclaimed wood floor looks incredible! I would not sand it at all unless there is a splinter of wood sticking off the surface that might catch some skin when you are only wearing socks. Just a coat or two of Polyurethane to protect it from any moisture that might get tracked in. It looks very cool in its rustic condition and fits in perfectly with the entire environment! Sorry to hear about the broken finger but GREAT JOB on the floor!!

[@billgoodwin8742]

Michelle I love how nothing stops you. You get more done, than most people. See you on the next video.

[@tripleb923]

Looks fantastic Michy! Nice & Cozy!...Brilliant idea, cutting those stove legs one at a time!

[@fantasycamp4000]

Yes. I've installed wood floors in numerous houses that I have owned. I always wear knee pads. The last time however I decided it would be my last(I'm 68), because I had trouble just getting back up to standing. Old joints don't bend as well anymore. Love watching you work. Keep it up!
