    It’s looking great. If you were a professional carpenter I’d probably wouldn’t be watching your adventures, I like watching the way you think your way through your projects. Maybe it’s not right for some but it’s your way and that’s what great about you doing it your way. Good seeing a flash of Steve and him giving you his wisdom of don’t burn the house down. Lol. Thanks for sharing your adventures

    Another wonderful Sunday morning with Michelle!
    I'm a little hesitant to admit that I have 140+ subscriptions on RUclips. Michygoss is at the very top. My absolute favorite! The sound of your voice has a very calming effect, especially when you do the voice-overs.
    Thank you for sharing a bit of your world with us every Sunday morning Michelle. You're an amazing woman. 🍁❤🍁

    I bet, but could be wrong, that we’ll see more of Steve now that his back is better. One caveat though, you’ll need to get a tv and stream Hogan’s Hero’s.
    Almost lost it when he asked you not to burn the house down. Too funny!!😂
    Great progress!!

    LOL, I did the same thing in the mid 80's with a piece of a crate wood. I worked at a motorcycle dealership which sold Yamaha and Honda motorcycles from Japan, and one piece of the crate smelt so good I had to taste it. My co worker yelled at me and said don't do that the crates are probably sprayed with pesticides. LOL

    I'm so sorry to hear about Clyde. He was my favorite out of all your dogs. He loved his life! He loved to wander & explore. He always knew you'd come find him. You & Steve are beautiful people for taking in the seniors that most wouldn't. I'll miss all his barking & howling. My condolences to you, Steve & the rest of the pack ❤ 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

    So sorry to hear about Clyde. We had to say goodbye to our Henley, nearly 15 yr old working Cocker Spaniel two weeks ago and it is absolutely gut wrenching, my wife and I were distraught and would burst into tears thinking about him. We feel your pain and hope that it passes soon, love and hugs to you and Steve from UK.

You never forget all the memories. Your fort is comin along fine . I built 4 mini homes for the homless this past summer . Temps are dropping fast indian summer is over . I m stuck on how to saftey heat them. Staying dry out of wind helps but some warmth is a blessing . Lil children are amongst the homless to no fault of their own . Inspiration

    Hey Michygoss,
    You see how easy it got after you put the floor and the roof on first.
    This is exactly how my husband and I built our house. Everybody thought it was a platform of a stage until we got it finished with the walls and the windows.
    You simply amaze me with your building ability.

    That's more than a fort; it's a fortress; all the boards are thick. It's lookin' good. If it were me, I'd kind of wish I had gone bigger, maybe another cabin. It looks like it might be done just in time for the snowfall.

    • @michygoss7148
      @michygoss7148  2 месяца назад +1

      I chose that size simply because the slabs and scraps I had were 16’ long, so cutting them in half gave me all my subfloor material, and my slabs material. (Not all the slabs, but a lot of them)

    I enjoy watching your videos. As an architect who has been building for almost three decades, it doesn't matter if I would do it the same or differently, you always figure out a way to solve it and that puts this activity back where it belongs and it existed long before any university.

    FYI, when you are using your electrical saw to rip, put the large flat surface on the large flat surface of the wood you are cutting. It will give the saw more surface area to lay on. Your doing a great job.........

    Paint stripping tip, I always start with a heat gun and putty knife which gets the bulk of it off and no goopy mess to deal with at that point. Then use the chemicals and course steel wool/scraper.
    Love the blue flannel shirt by the way.

    I would recommend you peel off all the bark. If you want the shed to disappear in the woods, paint it Night Mission flat green. If it's not to late, run the stove pipe out the wall and not the roof. All my slabs are from 24-36 inch x 18 foot logs, I must move them with a forklift. Bare your skin to the sun when possible for better health. Thanks for the show.

    GoodBraveheart,
    I think, i can almost smell the wood.
    Now the door, almost back to it's natural base, is very characteristic and suits in it's surroundings.
    The side to the sun, gives you the opportunity to feel the warms of the sun.
    So, someday wenn it's suits you, you can easely remove the planks and made it all glass.
    The barks of the dog is only his.
    He can and will be honored by your love.

    @couerl 2 месяца назад +1

    You got a lot done. I might consider roughly framing in a small bed or couch (like an RV) with 3-4" strips and a cabinet or counter space while you still have the open access. After the walls and doors and windows are all up it can be a more challenging workspace to navigate, especially in a smaller space. A little wood stove in there will be cool, but it will also get hot and dry quick I bet. Keep a pot of water going with the wood stove on so you don't dry the interior out too much while the exterior is wet.. This will help to keep the wood from checking over time. FWIW I kind of liked the green door and would probably just have painted some flowers on it. :p

    Hi Michelle, your humorous comments/actions are always welcome in your videos, and today I laughed out loud when you reached into your pocket for some screws, and had a handful of dogs treats too, and you said screws or dog treats...that is one of the many things I enjoy about watching you. When I saw 71K views, I was trying to imagine a stadium with 71K people in it, and believe so many of us enjoy your tenacity, the way you share your thought pro-cesses when doing things, your ability to do so many things that a lot of women don't have the interest/knowledge in doing, and your caringness that comes through loud and clear! You and Steve are blessed to have each other, and I can only imagine how possibly Steve's life in that environment might be a whole lot more difficult, if you didn't possess the ability/skills to do so many of the things you do, that some might consider men's work, to continuously help and improve things around the property. I'm curious about the game plan/timeframe for getting the boat over this way? Irish Spring; "manly yes, but Michelle likes it too"! You all stay safe, and "clean as a whistle"!😘😘
