Something else falls off the cliff. Stick handling my way through building this tiny cabin.

- I suppose this video is an accurate description of the reality of this process for me. A whole lotta time spent doing something, but getting nothing done. I thought my next plan would be to build/extend the little back deck, but not only did my saw fall down the cliff, I kinda realized that the deck will be higher up the back wall than I imagined, which will make my ability to work on the back wall really difficult.
I filmed this over 2 days back to back, basically just getting materials out there and down the cliff. It's disappointing that I didn't get much of anything done, and a good chunk of my working hours on day two was spent trying to find my saw. (sigh).
But I must carry on, and stick handle my way through this build, taking things as they come. One way or another it'll get built!
I know people in the past have suggested a french drain for my back wall issue, but I think that would require a whole lot more work than I'm willing to invest in. I want something really simple, using materials I kinda have on hand, as my thought (and I could be wrong about this) is that having a reasonable sized deck there will greatly reduce the material drifting towards the back wall of the cabin. No? 😬
Anyway - this next week I will tackle getting a portion of the back wall done, maybe do the deck, or maybe keep on with insulation/windows and doing something about that annoying Tyvek 🤪
Either way, I'll see you out there again in the next video!

Need to get her to 100k to show how much we appreciate her efforts into bring her life into ours
3k more to go!!
Woot woot! Thanks everyone! ❤
Just love watching you building that cabin ! What a view you have, it’s amazing. You are quite the worker I must say and a pretty accomplished builder 👍🏻
Great work M. You are such a grafter, really admirable how stuck in you get to to manual labour. I realise how far along you are and how much stuff you don't need to get down to the cabin. But I had a thought. Is it possible to build a tower type structure at the top end of the rope system to allow you to put stuff straight onto it from the road. Save your back a huge amount. Also I just wish I was there doing that work in that incredible place. Apologies if the suggestion seems stupid, in anyway 😊
I am always impressed by your patience and tenacity for plowing ahead. At 78 I'm still working on the patience thing lol! ❤❤
I have watched Steve over the years and watched him closely. He is the absolute most patient human being I’ve ever known!
@@michygoss7148 You two do indeed seem to make a good pair. When he's in the videos he always just seems so easy going. 😊
Oh, no matter how many times I watch your videos, I moan every time I hear you groan with your back pain. I hope, eventually, you will heal and your back pain will lessen.
Your channel is at the top of my favorites.
Best wishes, John...
A couple of comments as a builder: spray paint all sides of your tools(you dont want to lose)with orange or pink, it might look ridiculous, but you will see them when dropped.
Second, determine the height difference between your storage shed and main cabin deck for later reference for stairs, if needed. Third, water proof the back of cabin, then build a type of French Drain that would be under the deck.
*My thought is put the stairs/transition from the upper cabin away from the back of the lower cabin, there isnt enough room. **Advil & Tylenol are my go to friends! 😎
Had a contractor friend paint his tools purple. He could identify his tools laying around the site no problem. Just a glint of that color. Good idea to suggest.
@@831BeachBum yeah I use red and engrave my driver's license number on all my power tools.
Advil and Tylenol were known as Ranger candy...
My great Uncle did the same thing by spraying them crazy colors. Great old tip. Thanks
I used to paint my tools pink, less likely they'll walk off;)
I really appreciate and relate to the way you fearlessly over think things thru, with the (sub)conscious intent to make your efforts go the distance. A trademark of honesty...your corner stone.
I'm always amazed at the stone wall for the rail line. She's a hard workin woman.
You work so hard that I get tired just watching all that you do.
Michelle. I am impressed with the way you are fighting through the tailbone pain and hauling all the lumber down to your cliff side cabin! I fell on my tailbone back in February, and even though I kept going too, it was so hard! Excellent video as always.! Take care, and have a great week! Steve
Interesting observation... In recent adventures - you had to work and adjust to get your Sea-Legs. And now it appears you have to work and adjust to get your Land-Legs back. Quite the dynamic!
Michy, All the setbacks you and Steve experienced trying to get Pelagic home have hopefully helped to make this deck setback tolerable. If only your saw would sing and howl like dear Clyde. All tools should be tagged with orange in case the trip off. My wonderful late husband bought me a Camo chainsaw and I was forever losing it in plain sight. On the bright side your tailbone bruise is helping you develop a superb "Sumo" squat with deep knee bends and perfect posture for any future bear wrestling you might get into. Love how you stopped to graze on your quest for the wayward saw.
😂😂😂. So funny. I too wish my saw could sing like Clyde!
When editing the video I was laughing a lot because never in my life has my posture for lifting been so good/proper!!! I should try and keep that up 😂
Gotta take in those berries while they are ripe and ready!!! 😋😋😊
Hey Kiddo good to see you back at it..i can relate to your back..after 50 years as a builder mine is trashed....LOL... I agree with Dan Oliver makes sense....be safe..best to Steve..
Love what you're doing watch it all the time
Try using your drone as a reference point. From the cabin, fly out and place it in a hover above where you think the saw may have landed. Then hike down with the controller and try to get underneath it. Then send the drone back to its “Home” to land.
Cool, Caber tossing with Michelle. Another adventure.
That view gets me every time all the arduous military type work ethic that goes into it I get it. It's an incredible spot.
I must say, I enjoyed the adventures, but it is great to be back at the cabin build. And I find it admirable with your perseverance while still nursing your injury. - Cheers
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Respect!! 😊
Emotionally this episode ranged from fun, to frustrating, back to fun again. Kind of following the current altitude of the work taking place. I remember the chain saw drop, then this time it is here we go again. Same story except still need a hand saw. I marvel at what a dynamo you are Meech. Save your back any way that you can. You are as strong as any gal I've seen. I mean really. But save your back. Take care. Thanks for uploading this stuff.
Your determination in this « work in progress » build as well as what you need to do just to get the materials down to the cabin site , let alone the work itself , are truly impressive…looking forward to the next step….congrats from Montreal…✋🤗
You really are a leg model. The only difference is that you don't focus on it and you don't get paid for it. My opinion is that the only view that is better is that breathtaking view of the lake and surrounding hills, WOW!!
Hi Michelle and Steve! I really enjoyed this amazing video. My heart went out to you (as well as prayers) with all the struggles and challenges. Your willingness to work through it was epic. You all are always in my prayers. TY for sharing this moment in your life. It is so welcomed and appreciated. God bless you and love in Christ. ~John
Great to see you back at the cliff cabin! Hope you get to feeling better 😊
Happy to see you back at the cabin with the beautiful view, love your drive and determination to get things done! Sorry about your saw! Looking forward to the next one!✌🏼❤️🙏🏼 I hope you feel better soon!
I always enjoy watching you do whatever you are doing, must be natural charisma
Gravity sucks! (I say that almost every day)
You're a trooper, MG! You just plow through or go around whatever obstacle is in your way, and you always get great results in the end. A very admirable trait. 😊
See Michelle cutting that tree was berry rewarding ❤
😂
Ok… now I’m tired just watching you going through all this. 😂🤣
Great job at persevering and plugging along!
Michygoss I like the cabin view had to watch back episode to see the beauty of where you are.
Nice to see you out in the colourful shorts out again. Lots of great shots of your injured area and I kept looking closely as I was concerned that you might injure yourself more doing all that bending over and lifting. 😁. As far as the drainage goes, it is a small area so you could consider digging a trench by hand and put in a French drain and vent it downhill making sure the drain is below grade. Not a big job and definitely will keep water away from the foundations of the cabin. After it is all in just build your deck over it all. Lovely to see you on the mend ❤️🩹..
Once again, you impress me showing your talented self. My biggest surprises is how you maintain you making it look easy and be truly lovely at the same time Mishy.
Its so nice to see you working on your projects with the good and the bad. Design and planning will help you make the right decisions before you commit to a location for your back deck.
Keep up the great work and be careful.
Nothing better then the rewards of hard labor! Great job! ✌️🙏
Wow, nice to see you using a plumb bob. Haven’t seen one of those for a long time. Great video. 🥇
Go for the berry break when times get tough! Your a trooper!
Yay back to the building content! Carrying all of that wood looked like a workout!
Yeppers. But I need it! 😁
All that walking up those steps and with a bad back. I felt your pain !
We could feel your pain on the saw falling off the cliff. Love your videos Michelle. ❤
Holy cow, that view!!! 😮 Incredible
You must be sleeping pretty good at night working like that .... wow !!!!
Trying to think of things to write that don’t sound patronising, all I can say I guess is I’m in awe of your energy, work ethic, and positivity. I salute you! You are awesome. I hope your tail bone heals up quick. Hello from the Britain 🇬🇧
Well said, my thoughts exactly, hope the pain eases up soon Michelle.
You are incredible, a feast for the eyes in every way.
it is people like you that inspire me,make things work no matter what
I usually never offer unsolicited advice or feedback, but regarding the connection deck, I would suggest making the step down not at the new cabin but at the small cabin. This will keep your rear wall exposed making it a easier install. Either way, another awesome video. Sorry about your saw, that sucks..
You can get it done, you always put your best view on things
So glad to see. Back at the cabin building things!
Like how you bob and weave on your day and get things accomplished on your way....
Hi Michele, the easiest thing would be to make a small fence below the cabin, mesh wire or something similar. It's more work, but then nothing can fall down the cliff.
Hi Michele… Man you’re working your as* off !!! That’s a lot of work for two people let alone yourself.. I’ll put in my two cents first on the back of the cabin you have the right idea dig that trench out and put rock in there and just get a corrugated piece of plastic pipe kind of like a French drain and cover it up. That’ll keep that water from building up against the side of your cabin. Second, can you put like a mesh net or maybe even a fence something simple and spread it long ways across the front of your cabin, that may catch anything that rolls down that hill. Save you a lot of time walking all the way down looking for it just an idea enjoyed your video and you look beautiful as always.❤
Lanyard your tools to a framing member on the deck. Similar to an arborist or roofer.
I'm exhausted just watching you!! No wonder you're in such great shape!!
HAHA... Sasquatch is holding your stuff and partying at your cabin when you aren't there! Probably has a stash of berry wine somewhere nearby for the Sasquatch party!
Your determination under pain and adversity is very admirable.
You are a strong woman .
Maybe you need to have a tether line on your tools while you use them so they can't fall down the cliff. Just put a long rope on them and tie them to a tree so if they fall you can easily hoist them back up. I can't believe how much work you get done on that steep slope and with a back injury! Your cabin is going to be epic!
Could you rig a net weaved through the trees near the bottom of the cliff face to stop tumbling gear. Even that cheap plastic orange orange stuff on rolls?
Hi Michelle. So much of what you are doing is new to you, so fumbling around and mishaps are part of that learning peocess. Plus it's entertaining for us. Sorry you get to struggle through this with a bruised tailbone. Not funny. In the end the cabin will be a worthy reward. That view is incredible. So are you! Take care.
I’m constantly impressed with the amount of work you get done, and maybe a little envious. My back and knees ache just watching you.
I don't normally enjoy Mondays that much, but when Michy posts her latest video installment for me, my day at work is so much brighter. Take very good care of your back Michelle, as you only have one and it holds your gorjus self together, and you need it to enjoy this amazing property for a long time to come. (I know, as I've had lower back pain for over 25 years). Tools are throw-away and a pain when gravity assists in them experiencing "falling in style" off rock cliffs!
I love this project and thoroughly enjoy your creativity, style, tenacity and hard toil against a rough and rocky mountain. You're a tremendous inspiration to all us fans! You are definitely one of a kind. Be blessed, David
You made the right decision about the back wall.
And With All That Pain! You Do This! Your Amazing!
Oh you're kidding me with that downed tree! Holy Heck
In awe of your determination and skill as you pursue progress despite your tailbone pain. We all want to come over and help! But huge respect to you as continue with your project. Best wishes from the UK.
I find it oddly relaxing watching your videos in this peaceful location, my daughters off to France tomorrow with school so I'm chilling watching this. I hope your back continues to recover 🙏🏼
Wow was that an actual hummingbird? I would have really loved seeing that!
Keep up the good work 💪🏻👍🏼👍🏼
It was an actual hummingbird. You do get a glimpse of it in that clip. It came really close to me!
@@michygoss7148 Must be a good sign 🙌
I"ll say one thing ,,,, The girl dont give up !!!!👍👍👍
Hi Michy,
I would use a slotted plastic pipe (Novaflo) around 3") along the back covered with some nylon cloth to keep some of the dirt out and then cover with small rocks. Check your fall with a level so water heads one way or the other. As you are always carrying gear when descending down those wooden steps to your top winching area, I think some benching or a few more steps would be a good idea beyond that last step. Also attaching chicken wire mesh to the wooden steps would assist with any slipping issues. its good to take some preventative measures rather than deal with future injuries. Loved the boat trip episodes and looking forward to more.
Might also be a good idea to get some of that orange construction webbing/barrier fencing to run below the cabin while you're working to prevent tools and debris from getting away from you. - or just pile up some logs in a low fence/curb .. Sorry for all the 'know it all' advice. At this point I'm very invested in you and your PROjects
I give you a lot of credit Michy. Packing that lumber down there is a lot of hard work let along with a bruised tail bone. You had to handle the lumber at least 5 times to get it down to the cabin. I can tell by the way your moving that its still pretty painful. It will heal with time. Sorry about your saw. that sucks! You would think that some of that brush, and downed trees would have stopped it. When you are setting in your cabin, or out on your deck drinking coffee. You will remember all the toils and say to yourself it was all worth it.
When you said the saw went over the cliff the first thing I thought was "and it's green". Write it off and continue to move forward. Finish up as much as you can on the back wall before you build the deck in your way. If you can dig a diversion ditch just up hill from the deck. A ditch will help keep water from washing down dirt and debris from filling up the low area directly behind the cabin. Take care of your back. Thanks for the episode.
Welcome back to your build. As for the deck connecting your shelter to the porch, make it two steps. People can take two easy steps down to the porch. Given your back, you can stay busy but make the tasks easier on your body. It's OK to have an interval of healing.
Always enjoy these videos of Super Woman Michelle showing us what hard work can produce. As an asides as anyone noticed the beauty of the old stone retaining wall that supports the road. Those individual stones are HUGE and laid so beautifully well. I used to do stonemason work. It’s backbreaking stuff for sure. In case you are curious those holes randomly place in the lower wall are for drains and are called weep holes.
The rats live in those holes!
@@michygoss7148 Well they are a secondary ready use for that for sure. Be careful with your injury.
Добрый день!
Смотрим в России, Санкт Петербург!
Прекрасные видео, интересная тематика!
Так держать, Вам спасибо и удачи!!!🤝
What a wild location to build! cool to see your methods
Oh, your blessed back. I hope how soon you can get treatment for it. It hurt me to watch you struggle. Love and prayers
Great to see you’re back at it at the Cliffside!
😂😂
What a workout every time you have to get supplies down to the cabin? Very impressive
Dear Michelle, you are amazing...that's all I got 💪
Hi Michelle. Nice cabin. I worry that you will fall off of deck. Please put up a temp railing for your safety. Never want to hear of nasty life changing injuries.
You are gorgeous and strong🤩 you will be back to your old self in no time!
Sorry to hear about the saw! And me looking for poison ivy everywhere on the screen... 😂
Whenever I get discouraged about a project I'm tackling I think of your perseverence and kick myself in the ass. Thanks.
😊👍
Maybe tie a rock or block to some paracord or chalk Line and toss it in line with the fall line. It doesnt really need to be tied to the cabin, you can gather it up down below when you hopefully find the saw. Good Luck.
Michele, sorry you lost your saw for now. Hopefully with Steve’s help you may still find. Hope your feeling better now. You work so hard no matter how you feel. Mad respect. You take care and stay safe lady!
The struggle is real….keep fighting and don’t give up…. Love your videos.
Michy, try erecting a temporary 'construction net' just around the cabin below by 10-20ft. Staked to the ground, supported by strong enough paracord to halt a falling person, so that if you drop any more things, ie. tools, lumber, yourself... it will arrest the fall and you don't have to search down there. BTW, can you try to use your drone to go look down the hill for your saw? At least the Ryobi is neon green.
What a trooper this girl.
So glad to see you working on the cliff house, but it hurts me to see you in pain. Love you awesome lady 😊💙🇺🇸🇨🇦☕️
What an insane amount of work. 💪🏼🥵
Your tenacity is just incredible. Extremely hard work and your doing it mostly alone.
Watching you figure out solutions to something that’s not easy is a very special attribute you have. Bravo to you and your special projects.
Take it easy and don’t get yourself in a bind. You’re a special woman with an incredible array of skills😅
Thank you! I’m feeling vulnerable because of my ‘lack of organization’ and working hard but getting nowhere show. It’s hard to show all aspects of the reality of this build, especially when it’s a small percentage of my life in the grand scheme of things. (I wish I had more time to spend on it, both mentally and physically).
What do I take away from this? The next cabin build is going to be at our home property! 😂
That michy gal has got muskles 😊. Great video 😊.
Welcome back Michelle. The 'drainage trough' .... if you were to take scraps (or good pieces) of Tyvek and staple them to the wall and lay them in the trench/trough and then back fill with small rocks, your drainage would take care of everything and take water completely away from the building or beneath the building. Inexpensive and relatively easy and materials are all on hand. Talk to Sean if he's still hanging out in the woods nearby? Best of luck.
Really. Huh. Ok!
It’s great to see you back at your mountain cabin !
You look like you are still not moving around as good as you would like to be ! Injuries take time to heal , you are doing well though ! Please be careful up there !
An Idea Michelle, is to use a type of construction fence that is made of material, by staking it in below to catch your tools. Just be careful 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
When you showed the berries my first thought was Elderberry Wine, Elton John song, my second thought was, don’t eat them, Movie Into The Wild, lol. I used to be a truck driver so I know a lot about back pain, Ibuprofen has been a wonder drug for me and ice rather than heat.
I sympathize with trying to keep things going while injured. I'm 2 weeks from hernia surgery and have been trying to get a lot done before I am laid up. I'm not looking forward to being idle in the month of August with so many summer projects pending. Glad to see you are back down at the cabin.
I hate it when I'm working and i lose something and spend the rest of my day looking for it. Sorry you lost you saw. You might need to let you tail bone heal a little bit longer or it will never get well. I hope you had a better night and got so sleep. See in the next one. Have a wonderful week.
You are such a hard worker. Good for you!
I've got to say.. You're an incredible person. So determined. I'm building a cabin in a remote location and you inspire me to keep going. Even when some days are so tuff....
Hope you get to feeling better ❤😊Take care of your back ❤❤
You are one super amazing woman and whoever your partner is is one lucky individual. I’m 82 and have travelled widely around our world so have met many woman but none could hold a candle to you. Cusps I love your entertaining spiel colin
Well, holy crap, you've got some grit fighting through the pain. At least the injury forced you to lift with perfect form? Anyhow, really good call on pausing the deck build until you address the rear siding first. Cheers from Northern California
That area you were digging, you could fill with gravel. Just go get bags of "gravel" from home depot, Menards, Lowe's, etc any home improvement store. A few bags to fill that gap.
You will have deserved the view of the lake when the cabin is finished. Don't hurt your back trying to do too much. Take care 🙏 see you soon Michèle ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋
Good job you are doing ..Even with your back pain ❤
"And the beat goes on."
Working through the pain in your tailbone is commendable. I might have said the heck with it and headed home.
Was thinking it would be best getting the backside of the cabin done first then concentrate on that drainage ditch below. Also, too the deck could be same level as cliff cabin (the one you're working on) and you could have steps dropping down from the shed cabin to meet the deck which would be a couple inches above the ground if that makes sense.
You need to lay in a tub of epsom salts for that back for an hour.
Got to thinking too maybe setting up a section of nursery cloth below the cliff cabin to act like a catch all incase something bounces down the cliff face again.
