Old painter here and just learned that lacquer is from a tree; nobody ever told me that before , many years ago I had been laying that studs down and all of a sudden I thought I heard a train coming, now I use the best acrylic poly I can find.
It’s Friday already…..the Moose installment is here. This is way better than watching golf or fishing the west with Wally! I easily stay awake, what with your commentary and such. 😂 Keep up the amazing videos and light hearted content. Good show Patrick.
I think I watch your videos more for the puns than for the progress. No really everything that you've done has taught me something about construction. I especially like the way you do things your way and not necessarily the "proper" way. I've done a LOT of construction around my place over the last 45 years. Probably 40% is up to code, but 100% of it is still standing and is still functional. I also like the way you advertise your merchandise throughout your video. Have you considered selling LOTM hats? Us guys down here in the desert could sure use some classy sun shade for our scalps. Keep up the good work and I'll be back next week to give you a hand again.
Ok, I’m surprised that the video still picked up the foot prints. Love your content, jealous about the scenery and the quiet nature you have there. Keep up the good work!
Not big in watching people paint, but that lacquer paint really made that upper floor shiny. Great video as usual, now I have to wait a week to see how we are going to build those cabinets.
Hey there Patrick, it's good to see you again. Please say "Howdy" to your wife Karen for me. I love your sence of humor my friend, & yes, their certainly is no rest for the weary, so I guess I'm alot like you, a weary, tired, man!!!.... But things are sure looking good. Sincerely, the old Montana cowboy, Frank Scherping😅
Patrick I enjoy you project and your easy going video style. I am going to start my cabin build in Northern Michigan this spring/summer. However at 74 years old Im hiring much of it out. I would love to do it myself but you've got to know your limits.
Nice video, looking forward to the cabinet work for ideas on my place. You asked for a hand in one of the earlier videos, so I hopped in the car and drove up there from here in Texas. No one was around. Just my luck, you were in Hawaii. Oh well, maybe you can come down to the Arapaho National Forest this June and tag in on my cabin's deck. No? No problem, I got it.
Man, the way you were working that paintbrush up and down so smoothly, I could have sworn that you were trained by Mr. Miyagi himself. Great job it's looking fantastic.
@ 7:41 "faux beam" that finger is pointing to a "faux beam" you are just too hilarious !!! I can even see the seam in it LOL it is really just an excuse to use the word faux LMAO
Hi Patrick, good to be back with you on the job site, you are really narrowing things down and getting plenty of things done. I’ll see you next week. Take care of yourself Patrick and have a great weekend.
Wonderful video, Patrick. And I like how you show working on the details. It's very important and many RUclipsrs don't show this. And, as you can imagine, I dislike when I'm following a build and suddenly I notice something on the video that the builder didn't show how he did it or even tell us a bit about it. Details are important to bring personality to the house, or the office, or any place you are creating. 😊 And just a question: what's that meat? Thanks, from your Brazilian friend.
Indeed! If I wouldn’t have run low on oil, I was planning on the glove trick. I just know so much gets absorbed and wasted that way, and I couldn’t spare a drop. I appreciate you watching! 🙏
just wondering if you had thought of gutters and rain barrels for water at the cabin set it up were everything in the back of the cabin and run it down to your outdoor kitchen lot of off grid filtering set ups if you wanted it for drink and cooking
Hey, Patrick. Out of curiosity, could you have applied that lacquer with a roller rather than a brush? Or would that have made for an undesirable finish?
Great question, and I asked myself that midway through! I believe I remember reading last time I used it, that rolling wouldn’t be ideal. It seems it may leave a “rougher” surface.
@@LifeontheMoose I had the same question. I used a pad on a floor once. Maybe that would have left more of a brush finish. Certainly would have been faster.
I like Urethane for a tough finish that will last minimum of 50 years, probably closer to 75 years. First Step clean the wood. Second Step apply a Sanding Sealer. Third Step use 120 - 180 sand paper and lightly sand the rough spots from Sanding Sealer. Fourth Step use cheese cloth to get all residue off wood from Sanding! Fifth Step Varnish would with a Urethane Varnish! If you want a tougher coat that could last up to 100 years, apply a 2nd Urethane Varnish Coat. Remember to lightly sand in between urethane varnish coats and wipe off the residue with cheese cloth. The way you're using either oil base or water base varnish, it will only last 25 - 30 years, then you will probably have to strip the oil off (cracks, peels, ect.) before you can apply another coat of it. I like doing things one time in my life and not ever have to come back to it. That's the old world way the Painters of my youth used to do it and it holds up. Just a thought for you! I know it's more work, but you won't ever be back to that cabin in your lifetime to do it again. My guess the way you did it 25 - 30 years max, maybe less depending on climate factors? Been working in the trades since I was 13 years old. My Grandfather and Father were contractors and built homes. I am by trade a Carpenter, but have done a lot of painting/varnishing. Also Drywall, Electrical, Plumbing, and heating and cooling. Anything that can be done in the building trades I have done.
@@Johnny_Yuma in 25 - 30 years you have to strip all that off. That's one messy job and will cost a lot more than (3 - 4 times $$$$$ wise). My way in 75 - 100 years, you come back, sand it lightly and put a new coat of Urethane on. More work up front, but a hell of a lot less work for the next poor bastard who has to redo it. My way, you pay just for the urethane, roller/brush. About 1/3rd of what you would pay to do it right the 1st time.
@@Johnny_Yuma another thought for you to consider. I get a lot of requests these days by home owners, who do there own work and mess it up! I have come to tell them, it will cost 5x times what I would quote you. Couple reasons I charge that much! 1) I hate fixing home owners screw ups! It's time consuming to fix it. 2) There are very few tradesmen today that understand how to fix that shit up right!. Most just go thru and ripe it all up, which will cost you more than 5x times what someone would quote you, to do it right the first time. 3) When home owners or non tradesmen spread the word what it will cost someone to fix there mistakes, it makes a lot of them reconsider what the h-e-l-l they are doing! One way to stop stupid!

I learn something every day! I appreciate you watching. 🙏
I liked when you added the faster pace music on the front of the railing. It must have been close to lunch time.😂
Ha thanks!
It was..
Next week ?.. we build a picanica table
The floor is beautiful.
IT IS WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING NOW AND EVERY TIME A GREAT VIDEO COMES OUT
“” WHAT A GREAT DAY 🎉👍””
Thank you so very much for your great stuff!!!
Thank YOU! 🙏
The Cabin Is Looking Great. You Are Doing A Wonderful Job. Keep Up The Good Work.
Thank you!🙏
Such an excellent choice of music today! Very enjoyable and relaxing. Really enhanced the video content.
Hey cool! I’m glad you liked it.
It's "No rest for the weary." The wicked always have plenty of energy.
Actually it’s both, I was using it facetiously, as I’m really not that wicked. But weary applied!
It’s Friday already…..the Moose installment is here. This is way better than watching golf or fishing the west with Wally! I easily stay awake, what with your commentary and such. 😂 Keep up the amazing videos and light hearted content. Good show Patrick.
Aw thank you so much. Means a lot.🙏
Another fun video thank you for sharing!

Hats/caps are next!
Looks good. Looking forward to making cabinets. What a wonderful day! Weather looked perfect. Thanks for bringing us along.
It was indeed a wonderful day. Thank you for being here!
Ok, I’m surprised that the video still picked up the foot prints. Love your content, jealous about the scenery and the quiet nature you have there. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that! I’m trying to share as much of this beauty and serenity as possible.
I received the mug, exceptional packaging and I hope it helps with the videos and project. Enjoy the show.
Outstanding! Glad it’s ok.
Thank you 🙏
Consider putting some sort of gripping pad on the loft ladder. A friend has the same setup and slipped one while coming down in socks
I just may!
A+ Worth th effort to seal the wood; most guys would not
Thanks!
That floor looks so nice.
🙏
Not big in watching people paint, but that lacquer paint really made that upper floor shiny. Great video as usual, now I have to wait a week to see how we are going to build those cabinets.
Thank you!🙏
It’ll be here before you know it.
Great video! Fun fact: some lacquers are made from beetles instead of tree sap!
I have heard that! And thank you.🙏
One of my favorite things about Friday, Moosetales..
Thank you!
Great job !!! You accomplished a lot in this video !!!!
Thank you! 🙏
Hello from Midway,Tx… hey i won’t be able to be at work next went, I lost my alarm clock, hope you understand…. 😂😂
I suppose..😅
Hey there Patrick, it's good to see you again. Please say "Howdy" to your wife Karen for me. I love your sence of humor my friend, & yes, their certainly is no rest for the weary, so I guess I'm alot like you, a weary, tired, man!!!.... But things are sure looking good.

Will do! Thanks so much!
Excellent work as always
🙏
Cabin is beautiful!
🙏
Floors look amazing ❤
Thank you!🙏
looking good my friend
Thank you! 🙏
Wow! Next time you use lacquer I need to wear a mask. The odor gave me a headache😂
Safety first!
The latter former formed the ladder.
Lookin good
Thank you!
@ 4:20 stick some felt pads on those ladder legs and you can tell your wife it was your idea / I won't tell

Hey awesome! Glad you’re doing it. Let me know how it goes. And thank you. 🙏
Nicely done. I was waiting for the Dad joke about painting yourself into a corner...
Nice!👍🏻
once again nice job !
Thanks!
@ 2:48 (sit out here) would be a good time while sitting on porch to paint that door trim ( and you know I am watching )
Nice video, looking forward to the cabinet work for ideas on my place. You asked for a hand in one of the earlier videos, so I hopped in the car and drove up there from here in Texas.

Ha thanks! Sorry I missed you.
I’ll see what I can do…🙏
lookn nice ty
@ 2:28 I think it is time to put the to-do list on the computer and print it out LMAO or at least on the phone LOL
I am just now getting here..sorry I missed helping...it is almost 11pm here in south alabama. lov ya.
Just in time!
Man, the way you were working that paintbrush up and down so smoothly, I could have sworn that you were trained by Mr. Miyagi himself. Great job it's looking fantastic.
Ha believe me, I thought of him more than once that day! Thank you! 🙏
@ 7:41 "faux beam" that finger is pointing to a "faux beam" you are just too hilarious !!! I can even see the seam in it LOL it is really just an excuse to use the word faux LMAO
Hi Patrick, good to be back with you on the job site, you are really narrowing things down and getting plenty of things done.
I’ll see you next week.
Take care of yourself Patrick and have a great weekend.
Thanks and same to you! 🙏
Boy..that oiling makes it pop. beautiful.
I would stain all the trip around the floor ans where the wall meets the ceiling really dark gray. Like charcoal gray
Wonderful video, Patrick. And I like how you show working on the details. It's very important and many RUclipsrs don't show this.

And just a question: what's that meat?
Thanks, from your Brazilian friend.
I appreciate that! 🙏 I try not to take anything for granted.
Whitetail deer…also called venison. Steak.
@@LifeontheMoose I never tried this meat. Maybe it's a good try when we go visit US during our vacation.
💖💖💖💖💖💖
🙏🙏
I have the same reaction to seeing deer in the wild and Tuna swimming at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. "Mmmmmmmmm".
Yes!
For these works it is more effective to use a sponge or even a glove. It's a lot of work with a brush.
Indeed! If I wouldn’t have run low on oil, I was planning on the glove trick. I just know so much gets absorbed and wasted that way, and I couldn’t spare a drop. I appreciate you watching! 🙏
Looking good. Thanks for shairng
Thanks for watching!
you missed a spot ... Naw just kidding
😅
Hey that bent over tree in the beginning of the video would make a good hand rail for a stairs on a future project😆
It’s a unique one!
@ 18:40 I guess you were going to paint that door frame but were scared to get paint on that nice new T-shirt ??
just wondering if you had thought of gutters and rain barrels for water at the cabin set it up were everything in the back of the cabin and run it down to your outdoor kitchen lot of off grid filtering set ups if you wanted it for drink and cooking
Haven’t given that much thought, but might have a water “system” in mind…
Pizza oven !!!! Pizza oven !,, … did I mention ?. Pizza oven ?
🤔
👍
@ 13:55 I see your wife still has not figured out you confiscated her good cooking pot/pan / Man you like to live on the edge !!
😅
A outdoor kitchen before a toilet? I see where your priorities are.
Out there the whole world is your toilet!
Just "grousing" around this week I see....
👏
you need a chicken coop, all that red meat will kill you LOL @15:05 but you did eat your greens and avocado
Cabin rental for a week of Life on the Moose (includes daily bear stew for lunch) is how much again?
lol. Love it!
What, no chili for lunch today? Who are you? Where is the real host of this channel?
😂🙏
how bout the baseboards?
Indeed! Glad you saw that. Down the road after cabinets at some point.

@@sjackson99 I believe a pad would have worked well.
Why didn’t you wipe your loft down before applying sealant?
I did! Even sanded it.
I dont remember what you said you used for oil. What was it please?
Tung oil
Pardon my ignorance, but what type and brand of oil do you use?
It’s a Watco brand tung oil. Thanks for asking!
@LifeontheMoose thanks for reply..I just saw it. Still figuring out how to work all this stuff.🤣 I ain't giving up either!
@@quailhunt1964 Good!

Odd that a "Carpenter" would spell "wood" as "would". But otherwise, you sound like you know what you're talking about....
Patrick, if you're 47 years old and that floor last 25-30 years, I say well done. Keep doing thing your way, they look great.
I appreciate the effort you put into to that comment! Good stuff. Thank you!

"Sand the Floor" ⌛
ruclips.net/video/__qOY9hcm64/видео.html
Yes! 😅
Missed a spot ;-) Why did you choose lacquer over poly for the floor?. Poly is so much more durable.
Dang!
I used it a year ago on the Ridge Cabin floor and liked the look.
@ 25:40 your T-shirt looks fine ( no paint on it ) , but my (my) door frame is still not painted / are you just baiting me to keep watching ???
Yes! lol. Unfortunately, it will probably be one of the last things.
You and Robby Layton do a lot of Sanding all for a good cause 🙏
