Sawmill Platform - Framing and planking the deck

  • We continue on with our wood shed build framing and laying boards for the sawmill and kiln side. Lori stained the wood with some old stain we had picked up for free to try and help protect it from moisture.
    The back wall was framed and just needs to be lifted and put in place. Like most of our projects, before we can continue on we need to get more logs and mill more boards.

    NGL When Cody said "I can build stairs" and your replied about not having stairs had me laughing. Yall are coming along nicely up there. Hard to believe what you have made in such a short time. I have kids your age and would kill for them to have 1-10th of the drive you 2 have! So for what its worth over the internet, in the comment section, I am Very proud of you 2!

    I remember when you first started building your house you didn’t even have a nail gun and were pounding every nail in with a hammer! Gradually you two are coming along and building a beautiful life together.

    Great video! Next time considering using a roller with a 1" nap for the staining. You could knock it out in about 30 minutes, especially with an extention pole. Did my whole deck this way in about an hour, railings included.

    Ooh I love this video. I get to see Rowan❤️. Cody can do anything. I like his style - he improvises. Please wear protective gear. You don’t want nails causing injury. I’m terrified of nail guns! You drop it, you don’t want that tool going off targeting your body.

    A sawmill deck gets some hard use. I would highly recommend one or preferably two courses of blocking between your joists as it is an easy way to add strength and stiffening.

    Keep your hand back far enough the nail cant reach it. I had a board blow out doing that while framing a house and that nail went to the bone in my finger. Was not life threatening but man did it hurt!

    Could you use a roller on the deck instead of a brush. Might be quicker?

    • @linhaton4957
      @linhaton4957 3 месяца назад +1

      A roller attached to a longer pole works great. You can stand and walk the roller along the platform. It’s fast.

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  3 месяца назад +2

      We considered using a roller to speed it up, but decided it would drop too much through the cracks.

    Why don’t you rebuild your bridge that gets you from the road to your house. You guys sure do things without prioritizing what is more important.

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  3 месяца назад +5

      While you may think the bridge is most important, someone else thinks the interior of our house is more important, and someone else will say the outside yard is.
      As the ones who are living and experiencing this life, I’d say we have our priorities right where they need to be.
      The bridge is one of the last things on our list. We have other means of crossing the creek and if it were a big issue, dozens of other people use this same route - we are not solely responsible.

    Please please no flip flops in the building area. Also a wise carpenter told me to never use the back of your hand/palm as a tool. You will do serious damage over the years. Ie use an hammer. Also never have your hand on the other side of where the nailer is pointed… ask an ER nurse.
