Michy, Just a thought for consideration before you start cutting holes in the roof for the stove chimney, if you can possibly exit the chimney through the top of the wall. This will give you maximum heating, without compromising your metal roof. You'll need some angled jointed pipe, but having a watertight roof must be a priority. Well done, on the chainsaw recovery. Regards Robin.
That's a good idea. I think positoning it off-center would also be better, so there is a small space to store wood next to it. And if she decides to run the chimney through the roof, she will avoid the roof joise, which is almost in the middle.
Good morning Michelle! I really enjoy your videos! I agree with running the chimney pipe through the wall instead of the roof. If you would like some ideas on that, I have seen several installations on the Bush radical RUclips channel. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing your videos every week!
I think as few bends as possible is best. I would go straight up through the roof. Plus you will have better drafting. If you encounter the roof joist no big deal just cut it and box it in.
Please continue to wear the blue down jacket. We recognise it as your uniform and it is far from being destroyed. The duct tape patches personalize it and like service medals they document the gallant projects you have been through together.
I can’t think of a better way to spend my Sunday morning after going to church. Great video. The very beginning gave me a Blair Witch Project feel. I think The North Face should send you another jacket since you’ve been giving them free advertising. I can’t wait to see what the trail cam catches.
I have said it before AND, I have to say it again...THANK YOU AGAIN for showing the beautiful scenery that I will never be able to see in person, I am very impressed by your work alone in the wilderness where a lot of bad things could happen. Good Luck AND stay safe.
You are a remarkable person. I admire your spunk, ambition and analytical skills to get the job done. Everyday you learn something new and you should be so proud of yourself!
Looking at the cracks between the wallboards reminds me of another great series called "Surviving Ringworm". He has built everything (and done a fantastic job) with an Alaskan chainsaw mill and trees on his property. He has been living there year round for three years, and has built several liveable structures. The one he's working on now is the best yet, which leads me to this: he makes the boards fit together very well and then fills the cracks with caulk. The finished product really looks great. Checķ it out.
Your hammering is seriously impressive. I don't know many people who can hammer a nail like that without bending it. Like everything else you do, outstanding work!
I'm sure you've noticed how handy those saw horses have been for ya. Since you've made them Cabin's coming along Mishy ...looking good. That story would make a good commercial and " it's stihl alive " LOL Just goes to show its a tough little saw. Have a good one..mishy and stay safe out there.
Love the coat patching! My sentiments exactly. The outer material of those coats is just about worthless when ANYTHING tears at it. Heaven forbid a blackberry thorn meet it. Be well.
I love this build! I love the view! It takes grit to work in the snow & cold so great job! 😎 I’ve been following from the start 😊😁 Stihl Chainsaws!! Love ❤️ mine!
You are an unbelievable lady! I don't think many of us understand what it takes to make these videos. The sequence for the chainsaw recovery - - it dawned on me that it required at least two trips for every shot!! That's a lot of up and down! You are amazing!! Bye the way, I think I could live in your cabin! I can't imagine a better view!
Really appreciate the location and view even more as the cabin progresses. I’ve built a tree house , arbors and I paint. I get a basic idea, then I let it build and paint itself as it progresses. It has always (eventually) worked out. Always more interesting and fun, than if I planned all before I started. You clearly demonstrate the talent and courage to go that path. In your case a steep path😅…well done…stay safe…
Thanks for the insulation explanation. At first I thought, oh spray foam the interior. But I really like your idea of having the wood on the inside and building up the layers on the outside. Great progress and great jacket repair. I am a patch it and move on person. 👍 - cheers.
I'm sure I speak for most - THANK YOU for sharing what you do!!! Can't imagine how much extra time it takes you to bring the cameras and equipment, stage the shots, then make the content as opposed to simply walking or doing your stuff. I'm sure the editing and such are also time consuming! We greatly appreciate it along with the humor of course too!!! Love Stihl chainsaws (and other products too) - they're a little bit heavier but that's because their built rugged!!! Glad you not only found it, but it was also in great shape as well.
I’m smiling because it’s so true. But that’s true for everyone who provides content on RUclips - it’s a lot of extra work, but so worth it! You’re welcome! 💝
Beautiful view ! You are doing a great job, Its hard enough working on the build alone & your doing it on the edge of a cliff, work safe & no celebrating until the rails are up lol :)
Cheers, Michelle and Steve! Bummer your chainsaw tumbled down the mountain. I enjoy your subtle humor, Michelle. Take care and be safe out there! Have a good Sunday 👍
It's all fun and games until someone loses their chainsaw. Thank you for explaining how your doing the walls. Michy you made some serious progress, awesome job. Have a good week and God bless amen.
I saw what you did there... (29:37 mark) It's "stihl" alive. Clever. Well played, Michi, well played, indeed. Cheers from an Ex-pat Castlegar guy now in the Willamette Valley.
This is great progress Michy, you are nailing this (no pun intended), what a great place to have and spend quality time in once it's finished .. I've got my 🍺 and I'm enjoying this whole journey. Cheers TJ
Michelle, you have us all inspired to get out and create some sawdust here and there. The cabin just gets better and better. I think everyone watching is impressed. I see some great suggestions for you to consider in the comments. One question...what do your co-workers say when you show up for work all beat up and cut up? You be careful on that cliff. Thanks for Sharing! P.S. I'd hang on to that jacket through the end of the build. 🥼🤗🙂❤
❤ Wonderful work, A+++ for all your great progress, efforts & commentary 😊 We, my husband and I, watch ALL your 📹 videos. I really enjoy living vicariously through you. My hubby is an engineer and knows tons about structural integrity. He was checking out the window you were sitting on and sent you a link to a much more reliable and safe way to frame it in. Then he saw you making the new one the same way right after he sent it b4 you could even check out his suggestions. He said you can always change it out if you want. You could keep it in mind for any future window 🪟 installations in your life, also. His name is Travis Andersen. We live in North Idaho. I don't know what part of Canada you're in, but thanks for sharing what life is like for you living the dream up there. You're an incredible, beautiful, smart, creative, persevering woman. God bless you and your family!! May the Spirit of the Universe and angels 😇 🙏 be with you! THANKS! Jenna ❤
Your editing is getting so good! Nice jump cuts, the music and your storytelling is really quite professional. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. 🤗
Hi Michele, doing a great job,thanks the update on your other video about your acreage and other homes and these so are your vacation if cabins I think. So I have a suggestion about getting stuff up and down to cabin. So the few videos I've seen you lowering stuff down in the Snow. Not Shure but it sounds like u have stairs under the snow.And I had mentioned a winch before. So my buddy lives in the Santa Cruz mountains with steep access. So he built a trolley system with a box cart,that rolls 4x4 rails that goes 60 feet or so down that level ground..This is how he hauls everything up to his house. Walks up 70 steps zig zagging up hill.at the top he set up a twelve to volt truck winch there to haul the box cart up and down ( dem.say 36" wide by 4ft long or so.the box has 4 small wheels that roll on top of the 4x4 posts laying lengthwise.down the slope. Note the bottom of box is tapered to the slope of the hill. So the floor is level flat. Hope you can vision that. So back to your stairs, you mentioned about side rails. This idea works on a straight run.not Shure if I could send a picture to u of my buddys.it might work for you Jeff
Just chilling sat in your window. Toasty warm, with a hot drink. Just picture how awesome it’ll be when you can sit on your deck with your drink once all your hard work is done. Very envious of your lifestyle. 👍🏻
Excellent!! - CANNOT tell you HOW IMPRESSED I am with your Progress! Having watched this, the level of Workmanship! How the Cabin Looks! And the Professionalism of your Videography, the EFFORT you put into ALL your shots! (It's AMAZING you get so much work done along with ALL the Filming and Camera moving set up etc!) That last shot of the tripod and also going down the cliff to get the chainsaw showed just HOW MUCH effort you put in! Inspiring stuff Michelle! You should be VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF and what you've achieved! The CABIN LOOKS FANTASTIC! And when it's finished what and AMAZING place that's going to be with stunning scenery and you've even got a little spare cabin for guests when the main cabin is finished! Great video! 👍❤️💪🏴🇬🇧 Ps. Wish you'd get a gun! 🤦🏻🙏
Wow that is steep, nice drone shots. maybe a make shift safety fence / rail while you work on that back deck. what a day jacket gets a rip, chain saw takes a tumble and a retrieval and hand saw nick's you, but also great use of speed square to lob off that piece of wood. Thanks for sharing your hard work keep it up.
a momentary pause to say what crossed my mind as you applied a patch on the coat. You will wear it till all the feathers for insulation in it are in some mouse nest and your really nice stuff that you probably never wear will go to charity or someone who needs something nice to go get a job... just your ways of thinking "Nurse Michelle" You just might want to contact stihl chainsaw company for a sponsored video of your saw doing a dance off of boulders down a cliff and looking good afterwards.... I really am surprised as their made of so much breakable metals.
Love the ending camera shot! Looks like you have a steep enough pitch to you roof so you can have a loft! Boy it's looking good, one more wall and a door to go. It must be great to be able to work as late as you want as you don't have to hurry off. Are you going to make an enclosure for your power system? You have worked so hard on this project Michelle my friend, kudos to your gumpshun and fortitude!😊
The view from up there is absolutely incredible. You going down the hill to find the chainsaw was a little risky until I saw that someone at some point built stairs............holy crap what a chore that must have been. I cant believe the chainsaw showed no signs of damage from the fall. Cabin is looking awesome. On the gable end facing the lake will you be putting glass there to enjoy that view? I cant image the sight sleeping in a loft up there enjoying that view
My husband and I built those stairs. We built an entire trail the span of the 20 acres (~1800 vertical feet) with many more stairs than you see in this video! Chainsaw works like a charm! Yes - windows out the front gable end, sleeping loft and me looking out over the lake 👍😊
My wood stove is 600 lbs..like you...positioned it myself onto a raised hearth..with levers..a slide ect. But unfortunately I didnt have a cliff ...lucky you.. Cant wait to see that episode.
Aiaiai, Michy, what are you doing, practicing bloody moments?! 😉 Damn, it's a high cliff.. Take care youo are up there safely enough. Otherwise it looks every time more a tiny home... Cheers, keep going.
great video!! i am addicted to watching you build such a great place. The view is awesome, and knowing that a beautiful lady can get her hands dirty and working hard is inspiring. And i'm an old dude. Keep it up, can't wait to see what the finish product will turn out to be.
Bonjour michelle. framed in the window, drinking coffee on a chilly, but sunny day. you're a pleasure to watch how you work and think through a project or obstacle. i loved 'stihl alive' nice touch. have a great week.
Hi Michelle & Steve! I would keep "patches" (I named your coat) coat around as a piece of memorabilia. The food looks so good! It is cold, but a very pretty day. I like to pause the video and take in all of God's creation. The next day with the sun shining in was so beautiful. Let Stihl know about its ruggedness. I don't know if they would allow the "over a cliffside" test, but you could ask. :-) God bless you both and TY!
Just Wowza Michy!! I love your video's so much (so well done, edited, music, comments to yourself during the video) ha!! When my beau came over to watch RUclips the other night - I turned on this video - he said - there's no way she is building this by herself. I said - oh yes she IS Dude!!! Ha!! He is doubtful - I am NOT! I've seen your other video's! You are so inspiring! I just love your sense of humor too! The parts where you say how busy Steve is - then show him napping....hahahah! Loved it! And then 'figuring/calculating all that 'whatever' it was he was doing! Geesh! I just watch in awe at your efforts, your amazing attitude, your determination and perseverance....my goodness - where did you come from? Keep it up though! I'll (we'll keep watching)
I bought a Coleman single burner just like that! It works great, fuel sipper that always fires up. Sad that Coleman stopped making them. Good choice in the motor beaver too. I have never had a problem with any of mine that wasn't my fault.
That's why it's got a Rollomatic bar. Whatta beast! I visited a woodshop once heated by a wood stove. They ran their chimney vertically up- just short of ceiling height. Then elbowed horizontally across the building's interior and sent the chimney out the roof in the opposite corner. They used pipe hangers to suspend the 'flat' section of pipe from the ceiling, ensuring a bit of upward slope across it's length. They said it was to gain some residual heat from the additional stove pipe on the interior of the building and to increase chimney length for additional draw on the fire box. Food for thought to maybe capture some extra heat. The cabin is looking good!
I admire your talent and courage in building such a cabin in such a dangerous place. The film is very interesting and inspiring. I like how you show your successes and failures, and how you deal with problems. The cabin looks better and better and I hope you can finish it. I wish you good luck and safety!
Great progress. You should feel very proud.. I like what Robin suggested, to put the stove Chimney out the side of the building & keep the roof intact... I'm sure you'll do the right thing... : )
You could always hammer nails like you have been instead of screws. There's something satisfying about the sound of a nail sinking into wood. Thanks for another great video!
I put nails in places where shearing is possible (along the wind bracing, but also some along the posts and rim joists), but figure screws in all of the boards are a better option
The cabin is looking great! Regarding the chainsaw.. just remember to keep yourself in check. That chainsaw survived a nasty tumble. A human likely wouldn't. Keep playing safe, and thanks for the inspiring content..
You're one lucky girl Michelle, last week it was the window and it didn't break and this week LOL it was your chainsaw and it didn't get broken, very lucky girl keep up the good work, look forward to your next post
Chainsaw recovery in cougar country. Oh my! Good job surviving another trip on the cliff. Don’t know how you work in such cold conditions. Cabin looks great.
Wow wow wow very impressive you two are going to really enjoy the cabin on the cliff and with your family as well and as for the chainsaw that would make for a really good commercial❤ you are doing such a wonderful job I can't wait to see it done but you and your family take care I enjoyed the video see you on the next one❤😊🍷🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲😛😋🎸🎸
Looks AMAZING!, If you were thinking of upgrading your cordless tools, I can't recommend Milwaukee enough!, I've been working in the construction industry for more than 40 years, and nothing comes close to the quality and variety of Milwaukee, and their batteries outlast all competitors, just a thought, they are more expensive, but as mentioned the quality and longevity more than make up for the cost!, Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Some well done accomplishments this time. Glad the chainsaw is okay. I’d forgotten about the steep trek down the mountain bluff, the hand ropes and steps. And….. I think we tend to forget the challenges you have with filming. Good job! 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Girl oh girl, it's literally and figuratively a clifhanger; even you (perhaps not so an original joke). It's if i'm looking at an adventure movie. What a determination and courage (bravery in bad English?) you must have to do this, yust also in wintertime. All the efforts to bring some wooden planks to a downhill session. By the way: did you know that your body will follow the same physical law as your chainsaw do? I hope you don't think twice but at least three times when you are continuing to follow you spectacular passion.
Good Job! I built an 8 inch hearth under my stove, it really helps for cooking and to not have so far to go to put wood in. It also makes the stove somewhat more 'viewable' especially in a small room, so you may want to consider. I like your planning/thought process; and then the ability to pivot in the middle of the project.
Okay I'm just going to say this I've been thinking it a long time but you need to put up a guardrail out there on the balcony or you could end up like the chainsaw at the bottom of the cliff. You know one that's OSHA approved, or at least something. Okay now that I've got that said, have I ever told you how much I love your shed door. Michelle you definitely have an eye for Ingenuity too, you do things a lot of times just like I would. Hope you got the trail cams up, I got a sneaking hunch the cougar, he's watching you, nothin like having a little heads up especially when your bleeding... You might get some really great footage though, that would be cool, just remember your fans love u so be prepared, we love the harmony you have with yourself😘
Glad to see you got those game cameras. I have them around my property in Vermont and get lots of deer and some coyote, Fox, raccoon, porcupines, and bears too! But no mountain lions although there are some here, after all the college mascot is a Catamount.
Michy, Just a thought for consideration before you start cutting holes in the roof for the stove chimney, if you can possibly exit the chimney through the top of the wall. This will give you maximum heating, without compromising your metal roof. You'll need some angled jointed pipe, but having a watertight roof must be a priority. Well done, on the chainsaw recovery. Regards Robin.
Yeah, it’s possible. I’m not sure how that affects the pipe I already have based on a roof exit. I can ask the company.
Cleaning the chimney will be a major hassle if there are any bends in it.
That's a good idea. I think positoning it off-center would also be better, so there is a small space to store wood next to it. And if she decides to run the chimney through the roof, she will avoid the roof joise, which is almost in the middle.

The stove pipe doesn’t have to go threw the ceiling, put it out the side of the wall you’ll have less chances of water damage
The side chimney costs alot more

It must be great to be able to work as late as you want as you don't have to hurry off. Are you going to make an enclosure for your power system?
You have worked so hard on this project Michelle my friend, kudos to your gumpshun and fortitude!😊
The view from up there is absolutely incredible. You going down the hill to find the chainsaw was a little risky until I saw that someone at some point built stairs............holy crap what a chore that must have been. I cant believe the chainsaw showed no signs of damage from the fall. Cabin is looking awesome. On the gable end facing the lake will you be putting glass there to enjoy that view? I cant image the sight sleeping in a loft up there enjoying that view
My husband and I built those stairs. We built an entire trail the span of the 20 acres (~1800 vertical feet) with many more stairs than you see in this video!
Chainsaw works like a charm!
Yes - windows out the front gable end, sleeping loft and me looking out over the lake 👍😊
My wood stove is 600 lbs..like you...positioned it myself onto a raised hearth..with levers..a slide ect.
But unfortunately I didnt have a cliff ...lucky you.. Cant wait to see that episode.
Morning coffee on the side of a mountain, 👍👍👍
Good advert for Stihl, Excellent dad joke btw! 😂 Cabin's really coming along now, only one elevation from being enclosed. 🎉
Aiaiai, Michy, what are you doing, practicing bloody moments?! 😉 Damn, it's a high cliff.. Take care youo are up there safely enough. Otherwise it looks every time more a tiny home... Cheers, keep going.
Great work Michelle! 🥇 Your little cabin on a cliff is really coming together. Lots of love, your Aussie mates. 🤭
It's really looking good Michelle.
great video!! i am addicted to watching you build such a great place. The view is awesome, and knowing that a beautiful lady can get her hands dirty and working hard is inspiring. And i'm an old dude. Keep it up, can't wait to see what the finish product will turn out to be.
Bonjour michelle. framed in the window, drinking coffee on a chilly, but sunny day. you're a pleasure to watch how you work and think through a project or obstacle.
i loved 'stihl alive' nice touch. have a great week.
Cabin is Coming Along Looking Good Making It Your Own Have A Blessed Week and Much Love From Portland Indiana
living in the US you really through me when you said it was 10 degrees. Glad you recovered the chainsaw.
Hi Michelle & Steve! I would keep "patches" (I named your coat) coat around as a piece of memorabilia. The food looks so good! It is cold, but a very pretty day. I like to pause the video and take in all of God's creation. The next day with the sun shining in was so beautiful. Let Stihl know about its ruggedness. I don't know if they would allow the "over a cliffside" test, but you could ask. :-) God bless you both and TY!
Just Wowza Michy!! I love your video's so much (so well done, edited, music, comments to yourself during the video) ha!! When my beau came over to watch RUclips the other night - I turned on this video - he said - there's no way she is building this by herself. I said - oh yes she IS Dude!!! Ha!! He is doubtful - I am NOT! I've seen your other video's! You are so inspiring! I just love your sense of humor too! The parts where you say how busy Steve is - then show him napping....hahahah! Loved it! And then 'figuring/calculating all that 'whatever' it was he was doing! Geesh! I just watch in awe at your efforts, your amazing attitude, your determination and perseverance....my goodness - where did you come from? Keep it up though! I'll (we'll keep watching)
Awe! Thanks Susan! How sweet of you. 😊 glad you enjoy the videos!!
It is coming together nicely u will be staying in it before long have a good week
NO KETCHUP!... Oh man, RUN AWAY CHAIN SAW!....look out below!...Stihl runs! LOL!.... cabin looking good!.... your a busy little beaver.
You're doing a really nice job keep up the good work.😊
I bought a Coleman single burner just like that! It works great, fuel sipper that always fires up. Sad that Coleman stopped making them. Good choice in the motor beaver too. I have never had a problem with any of mine that wasn't my fault.
It’s really turning into something special. And the insight into Steve engineering mind makes me feel a little more normal.
I watch your creativity and I want to learn the language not as long as I have, I admire your creativity, take care of your wild environment !!!
Great job on the little cabin and shooting this video.
Michy, you are one creative and entertaining young lady. I am so impressed with your creativity and adaptiveness. Stay safe, youngster.
That's why it's got a Rollomatic bar. Whatta beast!
I visited a woodshop once heated by a wood stove. They ran their chimney vertically up- just short of ceiling height. Then elbowed horizontally across the building's interior and sent the chimney out the roof in the opposite corner. They used pipe hangers to suspend the 'flat' section of pipe from the ceiling, ensuring a bit of upward slope across it's length. They said it was to gain some residual heat from the additional stove pipe on the interior of the building and to increase chimney length for additional draw on the fire box. Food for thought to maybe capture some extra heat. The cabin is looking good!
It is amazing how it all seems to come together once you get the wall boards on. Looking good.
I admire your talent and courage in building such a cabin in such a dangerous place. The film is very interesting and inspiring. I like how you show your successes and failures, and how you deal with problems. The cabin looks better and better and I hope you can finish it. I wish you good luck and safety!
Great progress. You should feel very proud.. I like what Robin suggested, to put the stove Chimney out the side of the building & keep the roof intact... I'm sure you'll do the right thing... : )
You could always hammer nails like you have been instead of screws. There's something satisfying about the sound of a nail sinking into wood. Thanks for another great video!
I put nails in places where shearing is possible (along the wind bracing, but also some along the posts and rim joists), but figure screws in all of the boards are a better option
The morning view of the lake is just so beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Michy, you are incredible, it's quite dark and you are working.
The cabin is looking great! Regarding the chainsaw.. just remember to keep yourself in check. That chainsaw survived a nasty tumble. A human likely wouldn't. Keep playing safe, and thanks for the inspiring content..
What an amazing feat you are accomplishing. It has been an amazing journey watching you put this project together thanks for sharing your time
You're one lucky girl Michelle, last week it was the window and it didn't break and this week LOL it was your chainsaw and it didn't get broken, very lucky girl keep up the good work, look forward to your next post
If Marvel needs a new super hero I'm sending them a link to your videos. You are quite amazing and an inspiration.
Chainsaw recovery in cougar country. Oh my! Good job surviving another trip on the cliff. Don’t know how you work in such cold conditions. Cabin looks great.
Wow wow wow very impressive you two are going to really enjoy the cabin on the cliff and with your family as well and as for the chainsaw that would make for a really good commercial❤ you are doing such a wonderful job I can't wait to see it done but you and your family take care I enjoyed the video see you on the next one❤😊🍷🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲😛😋🎸🎸
Wow, your progress is fab! The cabin's looking great. I'm most impressed by the Stihl's quality; that was a HUGE tumble.
Looks AMAZING!, If you were thinking of upgrading your cordless tools, I can't recommend Milwaukee enough!, I've been working in the construction industry for more than 40 years, and nothing comes close to the quality and variety of Milwaukee, and their batteries outlast all competitors, just a thought, they are more expensive, but as mentioned the quality and longevity more than make up for the cost!, Thanks for sharing your adventure!
The location is superb and the view is healing.
Some well done accomplishments this time.
Glad the chainsaw is okay. I’d forgotten about the steep trek down the mountain bluff, the hand ropes and steps.
And….. I think we tend to forget the challenges you have with filming. Good job!
🙋♂️🐈🐈
Girl oh girl, it's literally and figuratively a clifhanger; even you (perhaps not so an original joke).
It's if i'm looking at an adventure movie.
What a determination and courage (bravery in bad English?) you must have to do this, yust also in wintertime.
All the efforts to bring some wooden planks to a downhill session.
By the way: did you know that your body will follow the same physical law as your chainsaw do?
I hope you don't think twice but at least three times when you are continuing to follow you spectacular passion.
I had a very nice dream about you last night:) Keep up the awesome job!
Good Job! I built an 8 inch hearth under my stove, it really helps for cooking and to not have so far to go to put wood in. It also makes the stove somewhat more 'viewable' especially in a small room, so you may want to consider. I like your planning/thought process; and then the ability to pivot in the middle of the project.
Yes, I do have a few ideas for the wood stove install. It won’t be plain Jane, no worries on that!
I watch because your work amazes me, but I most enjoy your sense of humor and wit! Good luck!
The landscape is incredible beautiful, but dangerous. I fear for you but you are a warrior.
Fantasic job! You are doing really well on the cabin and you have got some guts woman!
Okay I'm just going to say this I've been thinking it a long time but you need to put up a guardrail out there on the balcony or you could end up like the chainsaw at the bottom of the cliff. You know one that's OSHA approved, or at least something.
Okay now that I've got that said, have I ever told you how much I love your shed door. Michelle you definitely have an eye for Ingenuity too, you do things a lot of times just like I would. Hope you got the trail cams up, I got a sneaking hunch the cougar, he's watching you, nothin like having a little heads up especially when your bleeding... You might get some really great footage though, that would be cool, just remember your fans love u so be prepared, we love the harmony you have with yourself😘
Good job Miss it’s starting to take shape
Glad to see you got those game cameras. I have them around my property in Vermont and get lots of deer and some coyote, Fox, raccoon, porcupines, and bears too! But no mountain lions although there are some here, after all the college mascot is a Catamount.
