“Squatters Heights” is Screwed! | Off-Grid Treehouse Ep. 8

[@pinkmosquito22]

Everything is turning out amazing!! 🤩 Leaving the wood is the best thing... it's natural fire prevention and insect repellent. 👌🏻 Teddy... you can fall on the ground all you want, but you need to stop the antics when you're in the air! You legit give me anxiety! Can't have anything bad happen to my friends!! 🫣 Screwing is my favorite thing to do! Especially when it goes quickly! There's just something about it that is SO satisfying! 😁😆 Oh CJ... 🤭 I'll give you props on that fall. I think Dad might've even been a little envious on the execution 😉😂

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Awe thanks, Hillary! Yes, that's what we were finding out in our research as well! Would definitely want to seal it if it was being used indoors or coming in to contact with people so that soot doesn't get everywhere, but for this, leaving it as is was perfect. THANK YOU! When he's up on a ladder or teetering on a 4" wide beam 6' in the air... no funny business! He's going to end up giving me a heart attack... and we certainly don't want to be causing anxiety for our viewers! lol 🔩🪛 🤣 It was satisfying, all right! Omg when I saw the footage of CJ falling I was cracking up so hard! Like father like son! He's done it before IN FRONT OF STRANGERS out in public! LOL! The people didn't know whether to laugh or be worried! Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard but of course I freaked out at first b/c I didn't know he was doing it on purpose! oooh good times.

Looking Great!! You can keep the cold up der in da nort. We are going to hit 62 today and 66 on Sunday. Need to find my shorts and t-shirts. Jenna, you are just amazing, you are almost magical with how fast you can get smudge on your cheek Keep on keepin on, headed up close to you up to Duluth. Need my lake fix. Talk to ya later. God Bless. Be Good, Be Real, Be Safe. Psalm 121:5-8 “The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 18:2-3 “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.”

Always love your videos. Your treehouse has a great foundation. Working in that cold is no joke. It makes everything harder. Jenna so cute with the soot on her face. I thought Honda generators were one pull, LOL. I didn't think you needed to treat the wood after burning. It is going to look so good as it ages. And Ted sticks the landing! Always love seeing the pups. Glad y'all had some down time to enjoy being with friends. So glad your AirBNB is successful and reaping the rewards of all that hard work. I hope you have a great weekend. BTW, Ted, it's a long shank. LOL. Love y'all.

The Honda generators are supposed to be one pull! Just too darn cold! 🥶 We really like the look of the burn! It looks even better in person. We are super excited about the Airbnb. It’s been just the right amount of bookings! 😊 Long Shank! 😂 Thank you! We hope you have a great week Ray!❤️🌲😊

[@ThePyramidone]

When serving with an infantry unit in Alaska, we had to function in subzero arctic terrain. Our base camps were primitive but always had warming tents fueled by diesel, mogas, or wood. You may consider setting up a small tent with a wood stove that can keep propane and yourselves warm. Rotate your tanks and yourselves indoors periodically, we rotated shifts on an hourly basis warming for 15 minutes. Outside temps ranged from -25F to 20F even in sunlight. Cloudy days were warmer as the cloud cover would trap the warmer air.

[@-htl-]

Love the contruction! For screwing larger screws (50mm+) it is best to always predrill the hole in the wood to be fixed. This is because the screwing puts a lot of tention on the metal and if not predrilled a lot in the worng place, the wood you like to fix instead of the joint. So for a stronger fix-joint between the 2 woods you predrill, and to release the tention on the screw because they can break (the head is most vulnerable), especially stainless steel!

I am SO GLAD to hear you are having guests. I had been wondering. Our new guests come in tomorrow for a week ,,one day down and another week of guests.....

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Normally we would have a ton of snow still covering, but that spot of the garden is completely clear! I'm not ready to take the pine boughs off of it until I know we're free of snow for good. We had a big snow storm last April so anything is possible at this point! We pull then when the tops have turned brown/yellow halfway down. We also sprinkle blood meal on them once a month. Don't forget to cut your scapes! They're delicious and it'll help your cloves grow bigger! We don't harvest ours until around august/September! Yes! We've been *just* busy enough to not be overwhelmed with everything else we have going on! April is big time off season here so we'll see what that brings! We just got our first week long booking! I'm nervous and excited about it! Glad your bnb is still booming! Thats so wonderful! have a great week! ♡

As I was mid-way through the video, I couldn't help be thankful for the amount of work and heart you both put into each video. From the subtitles when needed to clarify things, to beautiful scenery, to bloopers and edits, to caring for your Airbnb and family, to responding to the Pine's family comments. May God multiply the work and bring an even more abundant harvest both on earth and in heaven. I really appreciate all that you do to include us, KZbin fam, in this journey. Also, mid way through as I was hit was such appreciation, Ted fell again and I nearly lost it hahahah.... I wonder how long a compilation video would be of all the times Ted has fallen (or nearly fallen) in each video from the very beginning of Pines on KZbin??🤣😅😆 It would be hilarious!

I wonder if it would be a good idea to raise a pillar from the ground so as not to put too much stress on the living pine trees. Although I think you have done enough calculations, If you will add much more heavy things on top of these in the future, it looks like it won't have enough support. Anyway these are valuable videos where we can see much younger Sandra Bullock who is doing various tasks every time😊

[@TheLiFeInPines]

We have thought about putting a pillar under the one side. We don’t plan to put that much more weight on this structure. It’s only going to have a wall tent on it. You’d actually be surprised at how much these trees can hold with the TABs! So funny about Sandra Bullock! 😂 😂 We hope you have a wonderful week! 🌲 ❤️

Hi Jenna and Ted 🌲it's good to drop in and see what you're doin' today. I really like the openening shots, especially Clifford's close up. I think the name Squatters Heights is perfect! You guys made good progress on finishing up the burning and installing the floor joist beams in place, despite the cold temps. I noticed the green knit top which is a good color for you, and for the record, you look great with or without the smudges 😉. You had some very appealing random shots woven into the video as it approached the end, I especially like the scene with Finley playing with the dogs. That location on your property is quite beautiful. You've never shared your thoughts on how you saw the use under the tent. Seeing the floor joist down and your activity with the fire, hanging lantern etc underneath it got me to wondering. It would be a perfect location for activty; are you thinking of building it out somewhat or simply leaving it up to guests to improvise? Good call by Ted for using the corded 1/2" drill to sink those long lads into the joists. That drill is heavy duty, high torque, and made for that type of work and there's not sense damaging a battery powered impact driver. Ted was at the top of his game, the colder weather seemed to bring out him clowing around which is always entertaining. CJ also jumped right right in and made me laugh out loud! You are all characters in your own right and I believe that is one of the things that make my enjoy you all and The LiFe in Pines so very much. You are a highlight my week. One of your loyal cones ... Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Hi Larry! Thanks so much! It was a collective idea between Ted, Finley and myself to do a little recap of our project so far! Video credit for Cliffords cameo goes to Finley! Yes we thought the play on words of "Squatter's Rights" was perfect! That green sweater was my thrift store find - 4$ 100% wool sweater! I had been looking or one to wear specifically outside working! didnt want to spend a lot on a wool sweater I knew I'd be working in, so I was so happy to find this sweater! We're not 100% sure yet on what we're doing with the underneath. It has about 5' of clearance on the one end and 8' of clearance on the yoke side. Cant really have a fire pit under there, but was definitely thinking about dry storage, stringing up some hammocks, maybe a little outdoor shower/tub situation? Time (and money) will tell! We totally agree on his corded drill for the lags. It was no big deal using it (other than the struggle I had starting the generator 😆) When the weather is this cold... I think it really does draw out the silly in people! When I saw that footage of CJ I also cracked up! Oh my goodness it's such a joy to watch your children grow up and see them develop their unique personalities right before your eyes. Parenthood is so special.

Great video the cheapest way was a good decision on the beam so only suggested for using a sealer was for more protection but l am sure with what you have done will be enough protection and being in the sun with no contact with the ground it will be ok.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

[@brendawilder1379]

Cant wait ♥️

[@TheLiFeInPines]

[@waderue]

wow you guys would make it here in Montana if you can not take the cold I had -60 before and had to go get my shop start pickup and let warm up to go to work so man up pine needle lol

[@TheLiFeInPines]

We blame it on El Niño making us soft! We usually can handle the cold….🥶 You can keep your -60° though 😆 We hope you have a great week Wade! 🌲

[@jonmchugh657]

Maybe y'all should call it Frozen Squatters Heights ! Keep up the "cool" work y'all are doing ! 😅

[@TheLiFeInPines]

😂 ❤️ 🌲 thanks for following along with us! We hope you have a wonderful week!

Is there a danger of the treehouse becoming lopsided, if the supporting trees do not grow at the same rate? Just curious.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

Great question! The trees actually grow out at this level! So the treehouse will stay exactly where it is. Fun fact, the TABs (tree attachment bolts) will actually get engulfed into the tree over time! We hope you have a great week! 🌲 ❤️ 😀

[@Jeff-vt8kn]

I think you'd be better off if you built a tree house, you could enjoy it all seasons especially during the winter with a wood stove.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

This is our practice (with milling beams, installing TABS, etc) for when we build our treehouse!! We definitely plan on staying here in the winter as well!! The tent will have a wood stove in it.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

😂 He has picked up on his antics for sure! 😆

[@brendamelander5942]

Jenna you are right fitted sheets need to be folded properly, it’s not that hard Ted. Is this whole falling thing hereditary or what, lol.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

😂 🤣😂 Must be hereditary! 😆

[@gdunton1]

If you are “burning and screwing” I guess Teddy thinks you’re HOT lol. Yall make me laugh in a time it has been hard. My wife remains in the hospital after her fourth emergency surgery since 12/9/23. Yall give me 20 mins to reboot. Blessings to your family. From Richmond, Va.

😂 😝 🔥 It brings a smile to our faces to know we can bring some joy (if only for a couple minutes) to someone who is going through hard times. Many, many prayers for you and your wife during this difficult time. 🙏🏼 Please keep us posted on her recovery! ❤️‍🩹 God bless! 🌲😊❤️
