- My plan to get to the cliff and begin working on my siding was clearly altered by this massive rockfall. I was so close to being there, yet still so far away. The extra crazy thing I didn't mention was this it had just happened a bit before I got there, so it's pretty lucky that I didn't leave as early as I had hoped to!
Bummer, but I try and make the best of my time out there and decide to do some treasure hunting along the old railway mountainside. I find a few treasures!
Back at home I carry on with my 'stupid' dog feeding station cabinet, and boy-oh-boy has this been a struggle. I do finally come up with a plan for the drawer front, but there are just a couple of final finishing touches that need to be done yet - but those materials are at the lake property, so I've been unable to complete it yet.
LIFE CHANGING MOMENT IN THIS VIDEO! Hopefully it will (in time) make life so much easier for everyone in the house!!!
Breaking news on the allergy saga.
Thanks for watching and see you in the next video!

You know it is a good day when you are on the home side of a rock slide.
Indeed. Both on the other side or under side would be worse …
At least you have a place to shelter on the other side.
A proper point, that.@@turbinepower77
Omg this woman has such a sense of humor!
Ànd that's rare these days
Endoscopy nurse. Nothing sacred!
I grew up with a nurse family. The things I could tell 😂.
That's a stunning opener with the drone footage. Love seeing that trestle & tunnel...so cool.
Production quality has definitely suddenly improved.
@@jakester455thanks! I did also buy another camera (a nice one), so I’ll be incorporating it here and there
Yet another gem. Wylie coyote rock piles and a fart machine, This is why we love you.
You’re a special person I love the way your mind works
I love trying to figure out how it works!
You never know what goodies can be found on a " treasure " hunt & the adrenalin rush never stops .. nor does the curiosity.
You can always put insulators over l.e. d. lites in one of your cabins. They look pretty cool lit up. 😊
LED's are great for this, colors, low energy use, long lasting...
I was having the same thought
True.
I've had the fart machine for years and whole heartedly support your effort to introduce its wonderful sounds. Keep building.🤣
I was an old Railroad tracks worker and yep that lid was an old spike keg lid, you opened it by using a spike to bend up the flaps. The big crews now use bulk spikes loaded with a truck with a magnet, but they still buy some legged spikes. Those bars you found was joint bars where in the old days they would piece 39 foot pieces of rail together and make a railroad. Today the rail comes in 1500/1700 foot lengths that are welded together at various points they call it CWR for continuous welded rail.
Your wood working skills are also amazing creating beautiful pieces for the kitchen and small furniture items. Good on you !!!!
The approach to the cabin (if that is where this road even goes) is such a rustic drive. A railroad bridge and a tunnel. All one lane waiting for your camera. Great country. Thanks for another great upload.
Good stuff Michy! I'm glad your not allergic (severely) to the pups. They so enrich your life and ours.
Just love your videos. I always look forward to Sunday mornings with you. Just beautiful watching you ❤
So glad it's not the dogs you're most allergic to! I took had a reaction but it was a cocoa butter face cream.. Clyde coming out of the dog door was hilarious. I was expecting his AROOOOH😂. Great finds in the mining area. I can picture some garden art
Your fart machine is hilarious 😅😅 Thanks for taking us along on your adventures 😊 Very glad to see that you may have found your allergy problem best wishes to you and Steve ❤
I love your videos as you are not shy trying different things to do . Certainly when you are near a rockslide you just have the curiosity to investigate further especially inside the tunnel . Good on you for having the gutso to keep going .
Spring in the West Kootenays; ice falls, rock falls, ice and rock falls...
I remember 'treasure' hunting along the CPR tracks, always good for a stretch o' th' legs and few curios to happen upon.
Those insulators can be used as walkway (night) light diffusers, they look good in daylight as well.
Cheers from a former Castlegar guy, now in the Willamette valley.
PS: Always make time to lay on the floor with Clyde-D-Bear (and the fur children.)
Just stumbled upon this video and enjoyed watching you discover and analyze old forgotten items for repurposing.
My Mother had a keen eye for doing just that. She made wonderful art from very old pieces of “junk”. I’ve been lucky to have picked up on some of that insight, but use it not only around the house, but also for my classic/special interest car restoration hobby. I’ve won several car shows in my 70+ years and still own around 50 vehicles. A few are “donors”, but most are projects.
Keep busy and keep having fun!
Those glass things would make for cool lighting in the cabin and scrap metal is always fun. You can pick up some basic welding skills and make sculptures out of them. :)
MITCHY, I LOVE YOU. YOUR ADVENTURSE AND HUMOR ARE THE BEST.
Michy, Whenever my Boxer dog Timber passed gas it startled him so much that Timmy would jump up and look around. That always made me laugh for his entire 14 years with me. I too love discovering old items left by folks who were here before me. In my Sierra mountain home I find relics left by the early 1800's loggers and ancient artifacts left by the native Miwok people who lived in my canyon. Exciting to discover any wonderful connection to the past.
It’s definitely so cool! ❤️
I collect old railroad relics on my wanderings as well. I relish your videos, I sit here laughing most of the time. Don't stop.
Dear Michygoss.
👍👌👏 2) I absolutely love the green glass insulators. How about putting an LED bulb in them and ending up having really nice looking lamps? Or doing some scrap metal art? You could fabricate a chandelier/candelabra using the insulators and some of the scrap metal you found. Especially the piece that is shaped like a turbine wheel. On the same threaded rod is another very interesting, bowl shaped piece. I would also grab all the zinc coated stuff. You can reuse or upcycle it while building your workshop etc..
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Post Scriptum: I'm glad that you didn't try to take the big boulder with you! 😁 ;-)
I have never seen such a beautiful woman have so many “kids” in her life as you and still look as beautiful as you do Michy. You and Steve look after all of your kids so very well. You are both amazing people ❤❤
Thumbs up Toot's.....LOL !! I'll bet Steve was pretty nervous the first 1/2 hour after you found that jewel...😅
Michelle I found you TH-cam channel a few years back. Look forward to your videos all the time. Never really posted but thoroughly enjoy your videos. Will be nice to see when you guys finally get your boat back home.
You have such a good imagination and talent on how to build and decorate your cabin on the mountain cliff. On those metal brackets that you unscrewed the insulators off of, and if you had enough of them could somehow implement those on a railing around your decking. Maybe using ropes as a go-between the brackets. I don't think cable would be very good, too hard to work with. Anyway just an idea I know whatever you come up with will work perfectly. Again really enjoy all of your videos. Looks like it's gonna take some big machinery to get those boulders out of the road. Hope you and Steve have a good day.
Pretty woman, hard working, industrious and funny! Ha! 😇 God bless you my dear.
Hi again Michy, from my 12 + years on the railroad those plates of steel are referred to as “Tie Plates” to help distribute the weight of the rail on the wood tie
Oh yes, Your fur babies will love the doggy doorway for sure. We now have 6 big dogs and my wife asked me to install a bigger doggy doorway so it is done along with a little porch for them to just lay out in the sun and enjoy their porch. Enjoy and be Safe.
Yep I’m gonna make a nice little area for them!
Hi Michelle, I enjoy watching your videos. You are very comical in presentations to your viewers, as your screen name represents someone with a whimsical behavior. Luna is such a sweet girl, she loves her mom and dad and brothers. She loves and enjoys exploring as much as you do. God bless you all in what you do and for those who can't speak, only bark and meow.
Another great video Michelle, you are so funny, especially about passing gas. That was hilarious. Thanks again. And Have a wonderful day and a wonderful week.
I love the way you put together old wood n make it come alive again , Energized Soul 👍♥️🌹🙏😎
I really missed you last week,so glad to see you on today,great video!
Turn those glass insulators upside down as furniture feet. You'd need an attached central cylinder to fit down inside the insulator. If you salvage what they are screwed onto, property sized, they can be attached to the bottom of the furniture
Whoa! Where's Superman when you need him? As I almost never say... lol You crack me up! 🤣
Nice big buck tracks....love your adventures!❤❤❤
Sweet looking cabinet for the dogfood!! Nice touch on the drawer front!👍
The only thing that was too much for me were the roaring belly laughs that lasted so long my sides started hurting. Also, I'm very glad to hear that you solved your allergy issue. It makes me very happy that it wasn't the pets (or Steve).
I can't wait for you to complete your workshop. I hate to see you working on the floor. As you know it is always best to bring the work up to your level. Thank you for the video's. I learn something every video.
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Michelle .
Kind regards, Hollandduck
You know back in the day when they were taking down all that stuff they should have put it in the back of a truck and haul it out of there😂 the dog cabinet for the food looks really good it's a nice touch😂 I'm glad you found out what was doing your allergies😂 they are such a pain my wife's perfume gave me allergies😂 but thank you for the video I will see you on the next one
The thing you found with the parts on a long pipe (possibly part of a gas or kerosene lamp?) would make a great hanging or floor lamp. Use the clear insulators in the shade construction.
It could also make a nice bird feeder with the insulators in the same position in the "shade."
It's really quite incredible the amount of discarded railroad debris, and other junk, just left to rot in nature from past generations. It was very irresponsible, without forethought, and careless, especially the discarded glass.
Very nice dog food cabinet. Nice work.
Best content yet. Up at 3 this morning and disgusted about it, then you pitch the farrtalator. Thanx sweetie for making my morning 10 times better. And clyde is alot like me, I seem to do a bit more slobbering too nowadays.
You crack me up! I look forward to your Sunday videos. Thank You 🤣
Nice woodworking, I've seen some glass insulators used as hanging light shades. 😊
Michelle. That fish plate, the big chunk of metal with the four bolts, is probably worth a few dollars to a railwayana collector, so if you don't get around to repurposing it, it could still make you some money in the right sale, after all with a date like that, it is a genuine antique...Regards Robin.
Wow, glad you aren’t under all that Rock!! Congrats on the Woodland Mills Article
-you’re moving up in the world. ❤Wilber& Margaret from the lower 48
the glass cones would make awesome paper holders... or material holders for cutting out fabric.
I just saw this, very nice .I worked un woods around Shelton Wa. ,found rail road spikes an wedges and cross cut saws in mid 90,never kept anything, wished I had.
Luna is a wonderful adventure pal! Great treasure hunt. Yay on the antique repurposing! Awesome dog food cabinet...and dog door!! 👍😎🇨🇦🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💘
Nice to know the dogs are not the main issue with the allergy, I liked the treasure hunting because I too enjoy old discarded and forgotten artifacts. Was sorry you could not take us techicoly to the cliff but that's another day and trip that we can ride along with you on. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
I think the insulators would make a really cool looking chandelier! Love the color of them. Maybe even make a rope light out of them.
Yikes what a mess....Thanks for the video :) 🌻🐾
The plate that said CPR 1912 would make a cool coat rack. The thing found after with 4 legs covered in glass could be a ceiling light. Be awesome in a converted caboose.
Great cabinet work. you are very talented.
Hi Michelle. The bar with the bolts you found is a joint bar used to connect two rails together. Railroads used one on each side of connecting the rails. Nice to now have a dog door. Watch out for racoons now. I talk from expience. I agree with the one who said good you were on the home side of the slide. Michelle your still the most gorgous woman. Great video. Stay safe and happy.
I lmao 🤣 your Hilarious And beautiful, Animal lover Outdoors woman Steve is a lucky man. Hope you got the road cleared out to get to the cabin Thanks for the video!!
Oh, the fart machine commercial had me cracking up. Oh girl, you are a good advertiser!.
That was spot on!
I love seeing all of the things you find along the railway grade.
Hi, how far does the train grade go. Here in North Carolina they turn old train grades into hiking trails called rails to trails.
I absolutely loved this exploration video and how much you enjoy finding old “junk” to repurpose. I 100 percent agree with your thinking and do the same thing. Also, I commented on how cool the ok wall was awhile back. It was really cool seeing that stuff and a little history lesson with it. When I go arrowhead and junk hunting I think the same way when you talked about someone having there hands in it long ago and we were the first to touch it since then. Great video!!!!
Great show!!! You guys keep busy for sure. Your steel flower is a ground anchor for the power poles. We use them for traffic signals as well
Here's an idea about the broken insulators. You can collect them up and take them to a glass blower and have them make something that you would like . Then you have something made out of 100+ yr old glass .
Double Yew Tee Eff???? Fun Stuff! Great finds, especially if you do some blacksmithing.
HA! LUNA is my cat, and I thought how funny it would be to take my cat treasure hunting! Great video, I actually thought you were trying to break out She Hulk for a minute there, LOL!!!
I’m glad you’ve got most of your allergies figured out. I hope you feel a lot better! Love you mean it!❤
Thanks for showing the bridge, tunnel, etc!
Nice to see Roxy demonstrating your toy with her usual style and grace!
The Kettle Valley Railway near Kelowna, BC has a couple rock ovens that were used by KVR employees to bake bread and cook food. Usually found on flatter terrain than you were on. Cheers from Vancouver, BC..
You are so funny and real what a blessing. Thanks.
I love your scrapping job you find some neat stuff! You go girl ,
Thank you for the video, it was interesting cause I like looking for old things that aren't made like in the old days and if it's something that's free it's a Big plus. Take care and be safe, from San Antonio Texas home of the Alamo.
That thing that looks like a windmill could be de-rusted, spray-painted metallic gold and a used as a refector for a wall sconce.
I love your sense of humor!
I like how you add in drone footage which you are quite good at doing ! RR trestle done using a drone adds a whole new meaning to the experience! Very well done !
Love all of your projects
be glad you are able to get out and not be stuck on the other side.
Oh my, the rock slide, finding things that most would not repurpose, and the added doggy exit door, the most important thing in this video is that you figured out what was irritating those beautiful eyes! 😊
Beautiful! ❤
For the insulators there's many things you can do.. turn it upside down.. hole side up.. wrap copper or your choice of wire or twine around it. You can creat a hanger to hang off a hook etc. To create a small planter for succulents or air ferns.. you can pre drill a hole into old wood 4 by 4s to create a hanging or standing votive with tea lights or battery operated tea lights. Attach 1 or several into wood with hot glue etc and place a hurricane glass around it. Use the spring from an old bed spring attached to a plank of old barn style wood for a vase or planter, potpourri, pencils, etc. There's lots of options. Hope some of these helped.
Only gets better! You are truly my SG!
Awesome, did not know you are Canadian. Wonderful to have Canadian beautifully made you tuber. Love all Canadians and Americans. Cheers. ❤😊
OMG! A FART MACHINE,, Take my money! 🤣🤣🤣 awesome!
Thanks for reeling us in and especially for letting us swim away. We'll keep hanging around the hook to see what you'll be teasing us with again. I'm looking forward to seeing how the doggie door gets used. Mine is still in the box.
Ours was in the box for about 1.5 years!
The cross arms have nice wood buried inside. I made a nice mantle for my sister's fireplace with one.
Thank you so much for the laughs!! Can’t express how much I needed that! really enjoy watching your videos! Kudos to you and all the best with your endeavors. Cheers 😎🍻😎
Wow... I would love to rescue you from that tunnel...❤❤😂
I love your eyes WOW!!! Great idea having a dog door especially given how many dogs you have.
This reminds me of the time a friend and i ate a pot of Onion Soup. Then rode the elevator at the South & Life building in Dallas (39 stories) up and down until we ran out of gas. We were 16, so we were old enough to know better, and too young to beat with a club.😁😄😅🤣😂🤪👌
You have a gold mines with all those train track spikes, steel plates. A metal fab/forger. I wish I could get my hands on a bunch of that good metal
Your vids always bring good vibes! Keep shining bright! ✨
First visit. My “enthusiasms” run much the same as this adventure. I’m attracted to the glass, metal , rocks, and lots of etc.
😂 I was descending a wet , frozen bank not so long ago and slid on my backside about 10’ and stopped up against a tree. No real harm, know I’m leashed to my service dog Kenny and am using a cane. The tree broke off when a tried to get up and I needed to roll onto my belly to get my knees under me.
When I saw your descent I cracked up!!
At least you have a fart machine to match the skid marks
❤
What’s a man got to do…. ;) excellent episode michy! That fart machine lol lol those poor dogs lol
Steve is such a lucky man. I sure hope he realizes it. I’d be joining in on the treasure hunting fun, if I were there. Awesome.
Not only are u super talented but absolutely freeking hilarious. Love ur channel
I could see you taking interest into what is known as Green Sand Casting, where you take scrap metal, place it into a crucible, and melt it in a propane powered forge, and pouring the molten metal into ingots for use later with green sand casting which uses a mold called a flask that can come apart into two or more layers, and uses a particular recipe for the sand, which can be reused over and over again. And you could make things with your metal ingots. There's a wonderful book that I recommend called Build You Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap (complete 7 book series) by David J. Gingery (you can also get them separately but I found them all as one book too which is an easy read, flows together, and provides the details necessary to do it all on your own). Anywho~
Moral of this story is carry a 40-60 ft , 4-6 inch wide 60k tow strap so you can use your truck to drag those smaller rocks out of the way. Looked to me you coulda gotten around. Also, a Johnson bar is always handy to have in the truck.
P.S. those glass insulators can be worth money
And just as you're finishing, the county bulldozer shows up.
Or a rock drill and dynamite!
Or call a man with a machine to move it for you
Michelle you are the treasure I look for every sunday .
Incredible!!!
Perhaps you could repurpose the railway spikes and use them as handholds on your retaining wall, and use it as a climbing wall? Just a thought 😊
