Cabin on a cliff (Chapter 4) - Seeking logs, hauling material and more foundation work.

  • Here we get things to the point where I can safely move forward on my own. Bracing and cross-bracing is done, but Steve still wants to play engineer and add a few fun safety features. Hopefully before he has his surgery he can tackle the railing that he wants to do, as that is one rather big important safety necessity. We will just have to see how things go for him.
    My next plan for this project will have to be sorting out a system of getting the materials down more efficiently - I have a few ideas that I'm sorting out in my head.

    This was interesting to see how this foundation came together. Drilling into rock is tough enough, and the cable wire is extra security. When they build bridges that hang off the cliffs in the Smokey mountains, you just wouldn’t think it could hold up the cars, and semis that might be crossing.

    So I have watched you build this cabin on a cliff, and I am totally impressed, not to mention the view!! Wow! Awesome job! Put me in the camp of, "Not sure those bolts will hold those 6 x 6's", but I like what you are doing here!
    You are one tough woman! Now for the negative, sorry, but I am all about safety!
    I am an airline pilot and former HC-130 rescue pilot who plans for A, B and C. You NEED some chaps to protect yourself when using that chainsaw, especially when you are alone!!!! Without them, one wrong cut and you will be in a life and death situation! When you are alone, no one will know you are hurt, at least when Steve is with you, he could help you if you were to get hurt! PLEASE get some chaps, they will save your life for sure!!!
    Otherwise, awesome videos, I am enjoying them very much, my wife, not so much......she says I don't need a saw mill! But I said "Michelle has one!! Maybe you could talk to her for me?? ROTFLMAO!!
    Keep up the great work, but be safe!

    The only time I didn’t wear chaps, my saw hit my left leg and cut up an expensive pair of jeans. Amazingly, it did not cut my leg. I know three men who did cut themselves pretty badly. I not usually a Karen on RUclips but I do believe in safety with chain saws after doing an autopsy on a logger.

    Really neat project and videos. What a labor of love for sure. Please get some earplugs and even more importantly some safety glasses. We heated with wood growing up and ran saws, didn’t even know about protecting our hearing. At about 50 (10 years ago) I developed tinnitus and now have 24/7 ringing in my ears. More importantly, you don’t want to damage your beautiful eyes, you need them to enjoy that cabin view. Thanks for an amazing adventure

  • @TokyoCraftsman

    I worked for many many years on Crown land cutting firewood, and we never had any chaps or safety gear except good workboots, and leather gloves, but that was over 30 years ago, and none of the modern safety gear existed.
    These days when I go to get wood (mainly for my woodturning) and I'm running a chainsaw I wear a good helmet, workboots, and chaps. Yes in the heat and humidity of the summers here in Tokyo the chaps are hot to wear, but they snap on and off in seconds.
    Buy good quality chaps.
    I hope Steve has a good surgery and a speedy recovery.
    Cheers from Tokyo!

    Cut my first pine just yesterday on our new 126 and I added about 1/2 cup Pinesol and it went perfectly. Beautiful lumber. Hey slow down on the excavator and be sure to keep the logs off the ground for the sake of your blade. I raise my loader forks and gently place the logs directly on them.
    Please take this 74 year old's advice and learn what natural things you can take to reverse your injuries. I was told years ago that my disc was done and fusion was next. Bull shit. It is getting better by the week instead. Everything you need to know is on YT. Hang tough and keep up the great work. I feel your pain, literally 👍😎👌

It's a real shame too women and men both have lost so much survival knowledge and strength.

    Michelle, have you considered using a lumber dolly instead of hand carrying all the lumber down that hill? There are lots of videos available on that, but I think if you used a large wheelbarrow wheel, you could drill a hole in 4 pieces of lumber and bolt that to the wheel, two on each side. On the other end, drill holes in the wood and add a spacer block or a short piece of pipe and bolt and you have a handle to guide it down the trail. You might be able to take 6 pieces at a time, but I'd start with 4 and see how it works. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, and thanks for the videos.
