Ponderosa Pine Floor Comes to Life! Off Grid Cabin Build, Ep 42.

[@jerryf609]

Now that is a fine cabin anyone would be proud of...including me for all the help I provided. Ha ha. I literally died laughing at myself.

[@thomashodge1154]

Good one 😂

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha that’s good!

[@WheelchairGuyHobbyChannel]

I haven’t been watching since the beginning but over several days I’ve been binge watching and I’m hooked!

[@LifeontheMoose]

I can think of worse things to be hooked on! I appreciate you being here…never too late!🙏

[@brianjensen6724]

The lacquer really brought out the character in the flooring!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Did it ever!

[@Johnny_Yuma]

When you grabbed the broom I thought you were going to sweep me off my feet. Your work literally indicates that no matter how good you are there is always room to brush up a bit. You also floored me with your facts on lacquer...well at least I wasn't board. I've been watching even before the footings went in and am looking forward to all that is yet to come. God bless.

[@whiteysolly6760]

That was pretty good, excellent choice of words 👍🏻

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha thank you! My first priority: don’t bore the viewer! 🙏

[@michygoss7148]

Wowza!! That is a beautiful floor my friend!!!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Isn’t it?! I can’t take the credit tho…all I did was move a brush around. As you know, it’s very rewarding to take an old dead tree and turn it into something useful and appealing. 🙏

[@raynoladominguez4730]

The lacquered floor looks beautiful. Great job. I can’t wait to see what you and Karen do with the decor.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks! I know Karen has a few things in mind and a few things ready to go. Soon!

[@CorbinMusso88]

My daughter is getting her first tooth, and the cabin floor is getting its first floor coat…what a day!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey congrats! The tooth fairy will be paying for that tooth before you know it. 🙏

[@smoke5620]

Hi Patrick, good to be back on the job site with you again. The lacquered floor really looks fantastic, it ties the whole interior together ! Another good video and a job well done. I’ve been watching the cabin build from the very start…what a ride!! My hats off to you Patrick for all the hard work you put in on the cabin… especially the roof. See you next week my friend, back on the job site 👍👌👍 Take care of yourself Patrick!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Well thank you so much! Glad you were along for the crazy ride. Almost there..

[@ronfollrod9893]

That floor so nice once you varnish it. So beautiful

[@tammyfinch5469]

I love this channel. I like your 'down to earth' approach and your sense of humor. Can't wait to see the kitchen build.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thanks so much! 🙏

[@klav5930]

I’ll have to “brush up” before helping! 😂 Really looking awesome!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks!!

[@toddnewman68]

I started watching to see how you did the foundation because I’m looking for ideas for a storage shed/workshop and ended up watching the whole build! I love the way you build!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thank you very much! I’m so glad you found me and stuck around. 🙏

[@brianboe3774]

Couple more weeks and we can build a picanik table … oooohhhh. Boo-boo I’m excited !!!

[@LifeontheMoose]

lol. Sounds like you can bearly wait!

[@joellemire3630]

Well, I've been there since the upside-down floor insulation system episde. It's been a very interesting series. Very entertaining.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Maxid1]

I love those little hand planes. I've done SO much damage with them. The learning curve was very long for me.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Indeed they can cause more harm than good in short order.

[@j.michaelwilhelm7349]

Still love that old tree in the sunset ending.

[@LifeontheMoose]

I do too! It’s been dead for 8 years now, just can’t take it down.

[@BrakesBake]

Another great episode, love the pipe holder setup for the ladder. The cabin is amazing

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ah thank you! 🙏

[@robschmieg6211]

The floors turn out GREAT! You can use a roller for the lacquer. It’s not bubbles or rough spots to worry about, it’s putting to thick of coat on with it. Can make it more opaque or white instead of transparent. Thanks for the episodes. Looking forward to the kitchen !

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ah good to know!

[@ynnhoj912]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Looking forward to the kitchen build next. 😁

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thanks so much!

[@paulcockman930]

Hey Patrick, who would have guessed that watching you lacquer the floor would be so engrossing. Love the scenic shots, spring is beautiful on moose ranch.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Not me! lol. I appreciate you watching.

[@JohnAmes]

looks great my friend

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you!🙏

[@cheryleddy5677]

1:11 Each board is like a Christmas present, you don't know what you'll get. The wall hanging of ladder is smart idea. Before we lost our tiny house in New Mexico wildfires, we hung our ladder like that and during the day I used it to hang dish towel to dry, or display my Great Granny's quilts...so I hope Karen uses it in an art display ...useful and practical

[@LifeontheMoose]

Indeed like Christmas! Sorry to hear about that tiny house.

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Wow the floor looks amazing great job!!!!! Well you’re almost done going to miss watching working on the small cabin ❤until your next video may god bless you my friend 🙏❤️✌🏼

[@LifeontheMoose]

Aw thank you so much! God bless back!

[@mrrs8118]

What a beautiful getaway place!!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks! 🙏

[@kensearle4892]

My back is literally sore as I watch you work on the floor and I on my new wooden garden beds. I could use an exo-skeleton at times.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha indeed! Nice work on those garden beds.

[@RonaldoWimmer]

The floor is perfect! The color after lacquer brings more life to it!! About the outdoor kitchen, I think the idea is really great! Here in Brazil we usually see it with a barbecue, a pizza and bread oven, and/or a wood-fired oven built on it using bricks for these ovens and the barbecue. I don't know what you plan, but this is what you have on outdoor kitchens in Brazil. 😉 Hugs from your Brazilian friend.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Those sound like great ideas! Not sure this will be quite as luxurious, but who knows. The plans aren’t written in stone. Or paper! 🙏

[@RonaldoWimmer]

@@LifeontheMoose anyway, an outdoor kitchen will allow a warm bath even using a big basin or bucket even without running water if the stay there is longer as a few days. 😁

[@Maxid1]

Love to see you do some version of a ship rope and tar for the floor board gaps. Don't know that I'd use tar, but something like that just for the aesthetic.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Interesting..

[@mikeyb2607]

Yes, Patrick. I love the open wall idea for the kitchen.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey good! It’s in the “plans.”

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for sharing

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks for watching!

[@susanholmes4452]

I wasn't even worried about the door trim, but now that you mention it, remember the door trim!😉

[@LifeontheMoose]

[@tomhorrigan5769]

It’s been a long haul to this point. Can’t believe you’re almost finished. What a fantastic job we’ve done together! 😂. This was an excellent project constructed with care, thought, humor and heart. Well done Patrick me boyo! ☘️

[@LifeontheMoose]

My pleasure! Couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏

[@artursmihelsons415]

After lacquer, floor boards looks so nice! Great job! 👍 Oh, yeah! Now I'm waiting kitchen series.. 😂 Only few jobs left for cabin.. Last nail, screw or brush will be epic..

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thanks!🙏

[@jefflabrozzi9592]

Looks really great. Looking forward to the outdoor kitchen build.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you!

[@vicktdock]

I'm feeling a little guilty Patrick, I'm a couple of episodes behind! But you know, decent weather and long days in Maine means more production and less screen time for me. Not to worry, I'll follow your build/art work to its completion. Your cabin build is in my opinion truly a work of art, worthy of Gods art that it's surrounded by!

[@LifeontheMoose]

That’s such a nice compliment! And do t feel guilty…Thank you.🙏

[@sepehrdanny419]

Not sure what part of these video is more interesting, building the cabin or watching you eat lunch!!! Especially for this episode, it must have taken longer to eat lunch due to camera locations.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Maybe a tad longer! 🙏

[@billycollier9828]

[@LifeontheMoose]

[@miketroutman7365]

Is it Friday already?😂 I am sure glad you got some sanding done in this video! The Spur is looking great. The floor is amazing. Great work Patrick, and another fun and informative video.

[@LifeontheMoose]

There’s always room for sanding! 🤣 🙏

[@robertgibson5819]

Been watching since day 1. Very enjoyable series. Tx not known for bear meat but sounds good. So glad your Homeowners Association (mule deer) hasn't filed complaints either.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha me too! I appreciate that. 🙏

[@stephenwagener349]

May I make a belated suggestion Before staining floor boards; fill all the gaps between each board with Black caulking compound or black gap filler. Fill to slightly above floor level; and after it sets, scrape off all excess with a suitable blade/scraper. For the best finish use a floor sander or for a more rustic look use a belt sander. Now you are ready to start your vid Rationale 1. Fills all the gaps to prevent dust, grime and little things finding their way between the boards 2. Looks great - the subtle black stripes blend the boards together and present a uniform flat surface without the shadows caused by the gaps

[@LifeontheMoose]

Good suggestions! I appreciate you watching.

[@outpostcamp]

Nice job. The build was very enjoyable and informative. Thanks from Hells Canyon, Frank.

[@LifeontheMoose]

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks, Frank!

[@richardgabel33]

Not the most exciting video but maybe next week we can sit down and watch the paint dry. That is always exciting ! Still one of my top five favorite channels to follow. Always relaxing and fun. Thank you for taking us along. Not sure if you will answer questions but...how big is Red Moose Ranch ? I remember you saying you are close to Canadian border. Can you say what city you are near ? If you don’t answer for security reasons, I understand. Be careful and stay safe. See you next week.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks! RMR is a total of 60 acres. Spur Cabin is 20. In NE Washington. I appreciate you watching! 🙏

[@joebenjamin9840]

Lacquer is made from trees I believe and shellac is made from lac bugs.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ahhh. Maybe that’s what my brain was trying to decipher! 🙏

[@rlh-okharvark]

I started late but have caught up now. I’ve seen every episode. Love it. Looking forward to seeing the cabin used and also the kitchen build. Cheers from Oklahoma.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey thank you! Glad you’re here. Cheers!

[@tawilk]

lacquer comes from various tree resins and waxes. usually suspended in distilled alcohol. shellac is a resin from the lac beetle. given how punky and holy some of those boards are, I'd definitely put another coat or two. since your boots and feet will wear that down really quickly.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Good info! And I may add another coat sooner than later. That wood sucked it up quickly.

[@Maxid1]

I think brushing and rolling are the better options. When I roll I'll brush it in. Those pads tend to scrub and you can end up with a lot of garbage in your lacquer when it dries in that type of environment where you didn't really vacuum or get the surface down to tack cloth clean. As you can imagine, I've messed a lot of stuff up... And I've learned though painful experience to never leave an exterior breeze in my paint or finishing environment. It always ends badly for me. I wear the right mask filter or vent for the job and just sweat.

[@LifeontheMoose]

I also considered the ‘roll the brush’ method. And you’re right about the pad. Not the best on not perfectly smooth surfaces.

[@cvzphotography]

I'm frustrated that I don't get extra extra points for being here since the beginning!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ok fine. Extra points for you! 🙏

According to Wikipedia, lacquer is most often made from resin extracted from trees (like Toxicodendron vernicifluum and its relatives) and waxes and has been in use since antiquity.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you! Antiquity is a long time ago..

[@cheryleddy5677]

I had a thought since your close to wrapping up this project...do you think you could do Harvey's Cabin next? One for older folks who aren't as agile as you young whips. We don't go up ladders cause our balance and knees are bad. Need to sleep on main floor. The fewer stairs the better...and lots of big windows to set and wile away the day with coffee and nature. Just a thought maybe then you could invite Harvey to visit and stay in His Cabin
