One Man Building a Huge Sawmill Shelter

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends 🦃🇨🇦

[@mapgirl7559]

Good job! Olive and the cats are always nice to see! Blessings!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@mapgirl7559 it’s been a few times they come and visit me here now, maybe they know I’m doing work here.

[@belmontadventures]

That's some amazing progress. Again, to do this all on your own is just incredible. Looking really nice Chad. God bless you, your lovely wife and all the beautiful animals on the Hidden Spring Farm. Thank you for sharing your journey. Cheers!

[@leonafaryna7617]

Yay! It’s looking so good! Olive is watching your back and when looking at your front, stares deeply into your eyes with love 💕 Fozzy and Maggie complete this wonderful day with a smile 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@leonafaryna7617 yeah she’s a very sweet dog 🥰

[@milliealford8968]

You're doing a GREAT JOB!! You did right by buying lumber. It would take too long to mill all of that. No worries about what someone thinks. You do you, which I think is pretty DARN AWESOME!! GOD BLESS!!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@milliealford8968 yes agreed, I’d never get close to being done by winter.

[@JH-ml5cp]

olive is ready to do watever you tell her. The shelter is geting a very strong and fine one

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

She’s very cool

[@Electrovoltz50]

As always I really enjoyed this latest episode. Constantly amazed by your vision and how everything ties together. I hope someday you and your wife are living there full time if you’re not already. You are my favorite you tuber by far! Thank you for being the man you are, loving your family and all the 4 legged friends.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@Electrovoltz50 so great to hear thanks for the vote of confidence 👍

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺It always takes a lot longer to do things than what you think. No shame in buying lumber until you have enough felled and milled for your up coming projects. Sometimes progress costs.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@pennywillis8895 yes exactly, I have to know my limits. It’s been raining a lot too so that’s interrupts things if I’m here for a full days work.

[@theresamcalister302]

What an amazing job you did. Have been watching all the videos pertaining to this project. Thank you for sharing!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks 🙏

[@HannabalLecter-y5d]

Hi Chad, I've watched and enjoyed all of your work and experiences, I certainly agree with all the comments you get. You bring joy into an otherwise troubled world. Your intuitive engineering is brilliant as well. Can I suggest just one thing that you may or may not have considered, that is ventilation in your sawmill shed. The last thing we want is a Chad with a headache. Lol Pete

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks for the comment. I haven’t thought much about ventilation since I plan to keep the entire back side open. It’ll be about 5’tall at the back cause of the slope so I figure snow won’t blow in so much and I can leave it open.

[@sherylbartlett3871]

HOWDY CHAD.....WOW - VERY IMPRESSIVE! The roof beams are really coming along nicely. Animal Speak - when you were up on the ladder and Olive was barking, you didn't get alarmed because you knew exactly WHY she was barking (farm guests back from shopping) and the Woodpecker-Flicker pecking the tree that you asked for "quiet please". & They complied. AHHHHH Nature, I love it! Everything is. coming together so nicely....GREAT JOB! GOD BLESS......😊❤😮❤

You just amaze me and yes, I learned from you. But I would have loved to watch the whole thing and not had anything cropped out. That’s just me because I really enjoy your videos and it’s very relaxing. It’s Saturday morning here and I watch you every Saturday morning and it’s very relaxing with my coffee thanks Chad. Have a great weekend.😊

@@marilynrobertson6265 perfect, appreciate the comment 😉

[@marilynrobertson6265]

@@HiddenSpringFarm your welcome Chad

[@AlenAbdula]

You do amazing work dont justify purchasing material to get you to finish the job. Owning saw mill should be irrelevant. Even if you evaluate strickly based on your ROI, its your money and time! Best, Alen

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@AlenAbdula Right on! 🤙

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Wow, I have never heard Olive bark before! I can’t remember ever hearing Molly bark either, come to think of it.. And as for buying the lumber, SMART MAN… like yo7 said, it would have been winter before you could have gotten done what you've completed in the time you have!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@ZippedUpKitz Olive is actually very vocal, she barks at any stranger or even when the neighbors staff come over to care for the horses she’ll bark. She’s scared off coyotes before too. Molly was very quiet, she would only bark when Olive started barking.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@HiddenSpringFarm I guess I just never heard her before… or that was the first time I heard you capture her barking on a video…

[@marydingus4360]

You made a wise decision to buy the lumber you needed! It would take you a long time to cut down trees, haul to mill, and make your own boards! Sometimes we have do what is best at time. You don't want be building on it in winter snow!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@marydingus4360 exactly, prioritizing getting the expensive machine covered.

[@Revtyme7]

This has been fun and helps me with a project I have to do. Thank you. The Lord bless you all this Thanksgiving.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Perfect! 👍

[@AMS7200]

You are truly gifted. I watch in awe as you create. Your cat cave and catio are the envy of many barn cats. So happy you take such good care of them. ❤❤How is Little Bubbles? Your octagon chx coop is also ingenious. Not to mention the duck house and pond. You are exceptionally talented and ambitious. Remi too. Her garden is beautiful. You two must have saved for years to plan and prepare for this Farm Stay. Sometimes I can’t find the words to express my thoughts watching you and Darlin. We are on earth to glorify God and you and Darlin certainly do that. God bless you ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻And I love your cats. Each one has their own personality. 😻😻🐈🐈‍⬛😻🥰😸😸

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@AMS7200 thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. All the cats are great even Bubbles. I haven’t been able to pet her for a while now, but I can see her body language that’s she’s fine. She greets all the cats when they come back as if she’s welcoming them back. I’ll have to prep the farm soon for winter so it’s gonna get busy.

[@stanleykeith6969]

Great job Chad. About you buying the 2x8 boards, you do what you have to do. Winter is coming and I know you have bad ones. You have done a wonderful job all by yourself. Chad, does it hurt if the wood is touching the ground. I also would install a gutter system to protect your wood and I would install a rain barrel to collect some water for the mill. You never know when you need water in a hurry. Chad, I have scene clear heavy plastic that comes in 6 to 8 inch wide strips that hand down like a curtain. I will see if I can find the company that make it. It's a great wind brake and you can come and go through it.

Morning Chad. You have come a long way with the mill shelter. That is a lot of hard work. It is looking fantastic. Happy Thanksgiving Canada 🇨🇦 🍗🥧❤

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@RJH_LIL yup I’ll get it covered quickly now. Rafters don’t really take that long once you have a template.

[@PriceOfLibertyEternalVigilance]

Chad, nice work, man! Forgive if I missed it, but are you a professional carpenter? All the things you build on the homestead are really cool and very unique from other homesteaders.

Nope just a hobby builder, gaining the basic skills over the years 😉

@@jameslangley2033 Right on bud, 40 footer is a good size cover. Hopefully I can get the rest of it done before the snow too.

Of course, me and power tools are not a great combination… I’m honestly surprised I survived shop / wood shop class in high school with my fingers still intact! Hahah!

Looks great! Just wondering…..do you sharpen your chain saw chain or replace it with those many boxes of chains you have?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I sharpen them, it’s a lot of boxes cause I bought the saws in a package that’s comes with oil and a chain. Plus there are 3 different chain sizes. All my chainsaws still have the original chains. I’m not great at sharpening but improving every time I do it.
