Working on the Log Ranch Entrance made from Burned Ponderosa Pine.

The big log entryway into Red Moose Ranch, serving as the logo for ‪@LifeontheMoose‬, was erected in 2016 after the wildfire, using standing dead Ponderosa pine. In this video I detail the construction method and reasoning behind my design.
Now it needs a bit of work. The long thru-bolts (threaded rod) that hold the logs in place need to be tightened, one log post needs to be straightened, and the whole thing needs a fresh coat of stain.
It's a fairly tall structure for our equipment, and yours truly does not like heights! But Karen and I manage to get the job done, in typical creative fashion. The results are well worth the effort (and fear!).
I just hope the ladder doesn't break...
Thanks for watching!

The time and effort you put into everything really shows in the outcome. And you just can't beat an impromptu picnic underneath a big shade tree.😊

[@LifeontheMoose]

I appreciate that, and you’re right! 🙏

[@erikowren7894]

Patrick you might try the permachink )used for log cabins normally) to fill that massive checks in. Great work. 😊

You need to get a Sign for underneath welcome to the moose

[@LifeontheMoose]

Yes! That is in the works. Our first metal supplier didn’t pan out, so we’re on plan B.

Hi, Patrick. Your videos are very interesting, funny and full of information. I've been watching it on TV, but it's not so easy to comment there, so I subscribed with the account I use on my mobile and notebook to comment sometimes. 😊

[@LifeontheMoose]

That’s an awesome idea that’s very much appreciated! Funny…in an upcoming video, I ask on what devices y’all watch. You read my mind! 🙏

[@laruedouglas7972]

Yes a sign would be nice 👍. Can you put linseed oil on it also?

[@LifeontheMoose]

I agree! Can’t wait to get the sign going. I’ll have to look into linseed oil.

How in the hell did you get that up on top anyway

[@LifeontheMoose]

I had a friend with an excavator!🙏😅

An old method to check if something is straight up and down is to use a plumb bob🏗

[@LifeontheMoose]

Indeed! I should use mine more often.
