An idea you might consider: Cconvert the ladder to a "library ladder" with a bar across the top and wheels on the bottom so it could be moved side to side.. It then could be left up and could still be moved out of the way if needed. - I am extremely jealous of what you have there and very impressed with what you have accomplished with it!
I like the hinged, raise up ladder idea. It takes up way too much floor space otherwise. I look forward to a deck railing out front as well, also a good rope rat line rail opportunity to prevent too much view obstruction. Cheers!
The views from the cabin deck, the loft windows and the meadow bring forth tranquility, it's no wonder there is a spring in your step and a song in your heart. As for the 'Clifford' name ... a sure name to use when you tell Steve you are going to see your boyfriend ... Clifford 😆Hi Clyde and all the rest of the 'fur family' -- Jerry
Michy, use those dock supports to hook the ladder up with pins or long bolts. Mount those above the window. Put it on the side above the window. Use a pulley mounted to the ceiling and a rope to pull it up out of the way if you have enough room to do so. Put a cleat to tie the rope up and hold the ladder out of the way when not in use. Spray bleach on the wood to kill the mold. We hope you don't fall off the porch. Be Safe !
Or do something similar elsewhere if you don't want to relocate the dock supports. Hinge the leader and hoist out the way is a great idea, Many places could work as long as it doesn't interfere while going up/down.
Your ladder looks great! One thing you may consider when you get a permanent place for it is to ensure that the base of the ladder can't kick out while you're climbing on it. I'm not sure how slippery your floor would be.
The view is breathtaking for sure Of you and your cabin But yes please Michelle put up a railing one small slip could be devastating 😢 We all love and adore you and enjoy watching your projects So please always be safe ❤ I like your idea of putting the ladder at the end and having it slide over and fold up underneath your loft It would only take a few l brackets and a short piece of pipe And of course a loop to hold it when you folded it up 😊 Love seeing the pup with you as well ❤ When will we see foxy Roxy again L o l
My point as well. Accidental trip/slip would be devastating. And what about the pups - can’t imagine if she lost one because no railing. Lovely shot of the pup sleeping but my dog rolls over in her sleep all the time!
Michelle, you always bring a smile to my day... & respect for your love of your animals...& your ingenuity to problem solve.... Have a great week.. look forward to the next time.
Hi Michelle. Happy Valentine's Day Honey. I know your confinate and careful but....one slip and you could end up with your lost saw over the abbiss. Just saying! We all are concerned with your safety. We Care!!!. I know enough said on that. Cabin is really becoming a home away from home. Great video editing as always..good job. You are still the most interesting beautiful nut case case I love. Can't wait to your workshop project and future meadow village project. Stay safe and happy.
That ladder is beautiful. And those views are just spectacular! And you said it perfectly, it's not a race. It took me two thirds of my life to realize that. What a great little space you have created there!!

Ladder looks perfect. I’d probably just cut the top edge a tad so that it sits flatter next to the beam it’s leaning against. A bigger surface area, and safer too. 🙂👍🏻

Here’s a little tip from a carpenter, maybe add a little angled ramp to the front of your sky mule platform to help with larger items. If it’s a heavy item for you to pull up the angle will help with the load leaving the platform. Aloha from Maui!

@@illiniwood yeah yeah. Chill bro! Should the steps be mortised in, it would help.

Just another suggestion on the ladder. Put it on a pulley System that you could raise, so it's right out of the way. Having it attached to the side of the loft. If the ladder is too long you could hinge it In the middle and fold it up out of the way as well.
What a beautiful view of Luna sitting on the deck looking out over the lake. Wondering what she is thinking. Would make a great painting, love it❤👍🏼😊🇺🇸🇨🇦🥃
@@SJC49 take a chill pill, I was talking about the dog, and the view. I could write all night about what if safety concerns. And about my likes and dislikes, stay in your lane!
That is a very special night ! Systems are working so great , you should be very proud of what you accomplished, myself I don’t know that I could have pulled that off !
How about cutting the ladder in half and hinge it to fold when you want to put it out of the way like an attic ladder. The metal brackets off of the old dock could be a pivot point at the top of the ladder. Or make a spot along the wall where you can attach the ladder to the wall vertically out of the way. The view up there is spectacular. Thanks for the episode.
Building a cabin on a side of a cliff will bring in viewers. However I keep having the thought that you picked this because it is a fun way to stay in shape.
Michele you could use those eye plates to hold the latter on one end (with removable pins w/safety catch) and have a pulley to pull the later up out of the way. Just a thought....
Okay Michy , i think I’m officially jealous. That is such a breathtakingly beautiful view (to wake up to)!!!! I think you have done a great job with that prOJect . And thank you for taking the time required to share your videos with us!!😃
I cannot believe your a smoker.😮 You really are naughty and nice all rolled up into a lovely muffin. P.s. I stopped a month ago so very jealous of you lovely smoking cabin.
Hiya, without sounding barbaric 😅.. you could cut the ladder in half much like a loft access, and have a simple rope pulley system from the roof, attached halfway folds the ladder as you pull it up. . Another idea I guess hey? 😂.. love your work x
Imho ladder fits the décor perfect. At it's current angled position threads are almost level, good job. One thought, hinge rails at top underneath rails secured to sidewall topcap parallel to loft. pulley system attached at roof rafter; lift up out of way when not in use. When up, hang clothes to dry and udder stuff. You'll figure it out. keep'n it real, peace.
Thank you truly for sharing this beautiful video. Its helping me get away from some worrisome health things. I swear I could feel the sun on my face too! Love how the puppy just loved laying on deck looking over the lake. Glad to see your other pup thats missing its eye looking full of energy and well. If there is a heaven, I hope it looks like the view from the cliff cabin. Thank you again for sharing. I like your idea for ladder from side that slides and tilts up out of way. What camera are you using, is it a go pro or like it? Cheers, be well, from SW Ont.
Michy, Your ladder looks great and the view from your loft is spectacular! Sweet Dreams!. I suggest simply mounting the ladder in-line beside the loft using a pulley system to tuck up it up by the loft when not in use. It won't block any light and may be lowered directly down when needed. LENNY!!! OH my what a happy ol' boy he has become. LENNY HEARTS LUNA!!
Excellent job on the ladder & by the way nothing has to match just do it how you wanna do it, I was thinking the exact same thing about your loft ladder as you were building the loft hang from some sort slider mechanism and raise and tuck it out of the way, nice place & good job
Me too, I was thinking once again “put up a safety railing!” just before you mentioned it. “Don’t worry I’m not going to fall off” is not the way its works! Everyone who was ever in an accident thought it wouldn’t happen to them. Everyone who knows you, everyone who follows you, would be devastates if we found out you had fallen, despite everyone, including Steve, telling you how unsafe it was.
Thanks for adding the brackets, I can sleep knowing you won't fall down... Love the hammock idea, I've used a hammock instead of a couch many times....
When you are laying there and it's all quiet looking at the stars relaxation of your mind and soul thinking how much that you did to get to this point and it's all worth it a very good job🎉❤ well done now it's time to have a couple of glasses of wine and celebrate your achievements😂❤ always like seeing video of your family and the playing around that's because they are happy in life and you and Steve make that possible😂❤❤ so thank you for the video I will see you on the next one
Hey Michelle , maybe some brackets either below or on the front of your cabin loft would help hang your ladder out of the way. I'm a sailor, so when looking at your sleeping loft, I immediately thought of a "Lee Cloth" installed when sleeping.
I really enjoy your shows and content. I find them very entertaining. I think the ladder would look good side on and use the hinges from the dock to attack it to the wall and use a pulley system to raise and lower it from the ceiling area. Keep up the great content.
Consulting a Qualified Engineer about the slide and swing ladder is a great idea. Their per hour charge maybe be lowed by suppling apple pie. Clifford as the Summer cabin is a great idea and I would rather have a cargo net underneath out of the view to catch the odd skill saw and other flying things. The Meadow build will have another awesome Winter view. Gosh you are going to be busy seeing your friends Clifford and Meadow. Make sure you leave enough quality time with Steve.
Primero amo la forma que tratas a tus maravillosos perros, segundo cualquier escritor o pintor o anyone amaría rentar por una o dos semanas una pequeña cabaña at the new spot que mostraste, that sunrise it’s wonderful.❤❤❤❤❤
Enchanting is the only word I can think of to describe this next in a long series of vids as you build your won't-fal-l-oft. Who can resist the urge to be with you through your thinking; at least in a mental state? I hope you are happy that you left that tree on the left side of your vista. What a beautiful person you are! -Curt
Nice work Michelle. I like when you take pictures of your surroundings. I think the last time I was in BC was about 10 years ago. PS. I had some pretty serious health issues that kept me away from building anything. I think I’ll will get back living again shortly.
Hinge the ladder above the window and it can go up parallel with the loft ..you can put eye lags into the rungs for hanging pots or stuff...that will stay hanging even if you put it up and down...just a thought.
Back to the purple 🎵💜 🤣🤣 The 🪜 looks cool in the cabin for sure!! You girls must of loved the little get away and the walks all over .. Have to keep an eye out for some fallen hard wood around Clifford so you don't have to haul it in . The smile says it all about your first night in your cozy loft dreams ❤.
Hi, nurse Michy, just a thought. So as I was watching this video this morning, I was thinking about the square o ring attachments you brought up from the cabin and used them for support on the bed 4x4s. I had an Idea on how to utilize them. How about you instead of plant holder or such you get a solid pole and use that to make you barn, well more like a library style of set up for a wall shelf style ladder. They sell the wheel attachments for the side and bottom of your ladder and I'm sure you can get one more square attachment for the center. And give it some centered support. Slide your ladder left and right. Just a thought, hope it helps. 👊🏼😊
Excellent video Michelle 👍 I always enjoy what you have for this week. Your cabin on the side of a mountain is spectacular 💥 Enjoy that you have a dog or dogs with you: we have 2 dogs rescue lab and husky! Unreal how they get along. Our pride and joys: Cedar and Jewel
Use a horizontal pipe that extends back under the loft. Hinge the ladder in the pipe, slide under loft and stow against bottom of loft. Have Steve design a little counterweight system for it.
Maybe the hoist needs some lubrication? I use a greaseless lubrication that works quite well outdoors... What a view to wake up too!! That is an inspiring aspiration to build something in the meadow, Even tougher to get materials too, huh? I guess your 2 little friends up there are hibernating . The ladder looks d345 good!
The ladder looks great in the cabin. When you got those hinges from the dock in place on the loft, my first thought was that you could put a steel rod, or EMT between them and through the top of the stringers of the ladder and use it like a library ladder system to slide it along the loft and out of the way and doubling as a hinge to swing the whole ladder up to stow it up and out of the way. Perhaps with a pulley that can attach and detach from under the center of the lowest rung of the ladder. I look forward to Sunday mornings and your video coming out. Have a great week!!
You have made a beautiful place in a beautiful location. Ladder where you have it is perfect just secure it. Trust your timbers, from an old almost washed out engineer.
I just came across your channel a few weeks ago and I love your sense of adventure .,, your problem solving skills and your humor. I checked out some of your older videos and was fascinated by your adventures on water as well .. after watching some of this series I can see why you and your husband hit it off as you are both talented and pioneers of your own callings .. I am not sure if you have ever done a video on your pet family and how they all came into your lives but I would love to watch a video of a story telling of how your fur family became your furever family .. admire how much you both love your pets and nature,,.. xo from South central Ontario .
The ladder looks great in the cabin, love the live edge. I like it the way you used it facing away from the loft... it's true that could cut into the ability to use the dance floor but personally I would want to see the ladder rather than fold it away and hide it somewhere. keep well 🙂
Your ladder looks and works great! My vote is to mount it sideways, parallel to the loft. But instead of stowing it under the loft, mount the top of the ladder to a sturdy rod (acting as an axle/hinge) protruding out from the side of the loft. Drill a hole near the end of each stringer so you can slide the end of the ladder over the rod/axle. Provide an attachment point at the bottom of the ladder to attach a clasp with a rope and pulley system. Attach a cleat to the wall to secure the rope once the ladder is stowed beside the loft. You could also have the ladder in the "stowed" position while you're in the loft to provide an added degree of safety or as another flat surface space for bulky items you bring up with you. By the way, you did a wonderful job creating and editing this video. Always enjoy your four-legged fur babies sprinkled in your videos. The affection and care you show for them is very endearing. I have two 9-year-old Labs (Ben and Sam) and they are my world. Anyway, thank you Michelle for sharing your life with us every Sunday. The sound of your voice has a wonderful calming effect. You're just too adorable for words. ❤ ☮️ on 🌎
I really appreciate how you tie your thought process into your tasks and projects. Your channel is criminally undersubscribed Michelle. Keep up the good work!
I had an idea, hinge or pin with a rod at the top, in the sideways position . Then to lift it up and down you could use small block and tackle type pully system at the bottom edge and attach it to the ceiling rafter. That way it would be totally out of your way during the day. Those small block and tackle pully systems can be bought at Princess Auto for cheap. Just a thought.
Awesome! Love your videos! Your ladder looks really cool, but I would fix it on the top, to the sleeping platform, so it can't slide. A big hello from the Netherlands!
'Live Edge' loft ladder...Two Thumbs up. I did a live edge spiral stairs back in 1982 with a cedar tree for the center pole for one of my log home designs. I used a Pine tree in the center of the house to hold up the roof of chainsaw milled timbers. Steel hanger brackets were custom made by a blacksmith and followed the design of hardware in Greene & Greene designs and used on Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood/Oregon.
The ladder matches your cabin perfectly! Anyone who's watched a few of your vids knows your innate ability at producing gorgeous decor. I love your idea of the ladder being parallel to the loft. So much easier to use and in 30 years, the older you will thank you. Thanks for taking everyone with you on your journey, MG! 😊
Michy, at the top of the stone wall why not lower your stuff with a rope. Have you hubby install a pulley so you don't cut the rope. Install something out over the edge with a pulley. Tie up what you need to send down to the next level, Push it over the side. Have the other end tied to the back of you truck on the hitch maybe with another pulley and let it down slow. Beats carrying everything down those long steps. Just a though. You might have something at the top of the wall so you don't fall over, like a railing, one one the deck might be a good idea also. Wanted to tell you about this be for. Good luck.
Looks good.I basically live in something like this mine is log and around 400 sq ft but plenty for me and my dog this is my 4th winter.I love the woods I live in the peace and tranquility. Best part no Bill's.This has basically saved my life mentally. Was so nice to escape the racket.I love watching others build there dreams why I watch things like this.I have a saw mill like yours it's totally a must if 7ou are doing wood projects all the time.5hey pay for themselves quickly. Cheers.Love watching you and dogs.I also must add I think your very capable and quite handy.Take time always pays off.
Это сколько сил же потрачено для постройки такого дома! Нахождение его в таком чудесном фантастическом месте с таким шикарный видом. Делает его уникальным сказачным!!!!
I just watch u working on ur dog food cabinet, i built a end table beside my bed i used old barn wood and for the drawer i used an old old wooden fruit box. It turned out great (i thought) the wife said it was very cool too.. but she loves me and i hope she liked it lol.just a idea in future. Very cool channel just watched first time.
Railing. I had a house in the Adirondack Mountains on a lake. The back porch facing the lake had screens ceiling to floor and an aluminum storm door in the middle. We would sit our after dinner and the view was great EXCEPT for the door, it annoyingly blocked the view of the lake and the mountains beyond. So I took the door apart and replaced the metal with clear lexan. Problem solved. You could screw a 2 x 4 to the floor, 4 x 4 on either end, bolted to the deck and then create 2 x 4 panels with a dado groove cut and then insert the lexan sheets. Just an Idea. I'm guessing there's no railing yet because you don't want to mess up the view. Please put up a railing.
The ladder is a fashion statement that stands alone and requires no matching other than the fact that it’s rustic and refined. Thanks for the video and good luck on the chandelier project 😊As for the railing you will see in time that it should be done ✅ 😂
You mentioned the future rail right as I was thinking about it. When it comes to heights, it's not that I'm afraid, it's that I prefer to look up at something high up not down on something far below.... but I must say your view is awesome.
Continue trusting your artistic instinct when it comes form and function, its working very well. As for the ash tray/pot, I hand form copper and would be happy to hammer something out for you. I think that would be kinda neat. I feel very much at peace watching. Thanks from just South of Pittsburgh...
I would revisit the dock and look for a couple more of those brackets, then use them to hinge the ladder parallel to the loft and hoist it up when not in use. It will give you more floorspace when you have a cabin full of dogs
An idea you might consider: Cconvert the ladder to a "library ladder" with a bar across the top and wheels on the bottom so it could be moved side to side.. It then could be left up and could still be moved out of the way if needed. - I am extremely jealous of what you have there and very impressed with what you have accomplished with it!
Library Rail is perfect, combined with Chelle's flip/fold/stow/move idea
Cabin is too small. If it's on rails it will always be in the way.
Jake - Not if she raises it for stowage under the loft. That's dead space anyway. Win/win.
was thinking the same thing :) then it could slide aginst the wall by the window
I like the hinged, raise up ladder idea. It takes up way too much floor space otherwise. I look forward to a deck railing out front as well, also a good rope rat line rail opportunity to prevent too much view obstruction. Cheers!
Congratulations, seriously. If ANYONE deserves a good night's rest and to see millions of stars from the little cabin they built themself - it's you.
💝
3 seconds before you mentioned the railing I was saying please put a railing up lol. We as subscribers care about your safety.
I did the same. You might not need it often, but when you do...
I've been saying that for what seems like years now.
She’d be fine, got the puffy jacket on to break the fall
On the one hand, she might die, but on the other, might finally find that saw.
YES! every video I plead with her from 1000s of miles away!

Building a cabin on a side of a cliff will bring in viewers. However I keep having the thought that you picked this because it is a fun way to stay in shape.
I loved it when she said that going down to the other cabin would help get some exercise! Everything she does requires physical strength.
Michele you could use those eye plates to hold the latter on one end (with removable pins w/safety catch) and have a pulley to pull the later up out of the way. Just a thought....
That is the best view from a bed I have ever seen.
I know!!! ❤
Okay Michy , i think I’m officially jealous. That is such a breathtakingly beautiful view (to wake up to)!!!! I think you have done a great job with that prOJect . And thank you for taking the time required to share your videos with us!!😃
I cannot believe your a smoker.😮
You really are naughty and nice all rolled up into a lovely muffin.
P.s. I stopped a month ago so very jealous of you lovely smoking cabin.
Hiya, without sounding barbaric 😅.. you could cut the ladder in half much like a loft access, and have a simple rope pulley system from the roof, attached halfway folds the ladder as you pull it up. . Another idea I guess hey? 😂.. love your work x
Imho ladder fits the décor perfect. At it's current angled position threads are almost level, good job. One thought, hinge rails at top underneath rails secured to sidewall topcap parallel to loft. pulley system attached at roof rafter; lift up out of way when not in use. When up, hang clothes to dry and udder stuff. You'll figure it out. keep'n it real, peace.
THE FOOD YOU COOK IS AMAZING YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY BEARS VISIT.
Levis should sponsor you!!!
Thank you truly for sharing this beautiful video. Its helping me get away from some worrisome health things. I swear I could feel the sun on my face too! Love how the puppy just loved laying on deck looking over the lake. Glad to see your other pup thats missing its eye looking full of energy and well. If there is a heaven, I hope it looks like the view from the cliff cabin. Thank you again for sharing. I like your idea for ladder from side that slides and tilts up out of way. What camera are you using, is it a go pro or like it? Cheers, be well, from SW Ont.
Michy, Your ladder looks great and the view from your loft is spectacular! Sweet Dreams!. I suggest simply mounting the ladder in-line beside the loft using a pulley system to tuck up it up by the loft when not in use. It won't block any light and may be lowered directly down when needed. LENNY!!! OH my what a happy ol' boy he has become. LENNY HEARTS LUNA!!
He LOVES her so much. She’s such a darling, isn’t she!?!
Love it! Professional! Satisfying!
Break! Open! Bottle of wine! Dancing! Great day!
Excellent job on the ladder & by the way nothing has to match just do it how you wanna do it, I was thinking the exact same thing about your loft ladder as you were building the loft hang from some sort slider mechanism and raise and tuck it out of the way, nice place & good job
Me gusta! Congratulations. Saludos desde Chiapas, México.
Me too, I was thinking once again “put up a safety railing!” just before you mentioned it. “Don’t worry I’m not going to fall off” is not the way its works! Everyone who was ever in an accident thought it wouldn’t happen to them. Everyone who knows you, everyone who follows you, would be devastates if we found out you had fallen, despite everyone, including Steve, telling you how unsafe it was.
“Don’t worry I’m not going to fall off” - Famous last words of many a contractor.
Thanks for adding the brackets, I can sleep knowing you won't fall down... Love the hammock idea, I've used a hammock instead of a couch many times....
When you are laying there and it's all quiet looking at the stars relaxation of your mind and soul thinking how much that you did to get to this point and it's all worth it a very good job🎉❤ well done now it's time to have a couple of glasses of wine and celebrate your achievements😂❤ always like seeing video of your family and the playing around that's because they are happy in life and you and Steve make that possible😂❤❤ so thank you for the video I will see you on the next one
What an amazing view you have. Totally awesome. Maybe you could get some trail camera up and catch who stole your stuff.
Hey Michelle , maybe some brackets either below or on the front of your cabin loft would help hang your ladder out of the way.
I'm a sailor, so when looking at your sleeping loft, I immediately thought of a "Lee Cloth" installed when sleeping.
I really enjoy your shows and content. I find them very entertaining. I think the ladder would look good side on and use the hinges from the dock to attack it to the wall and use a pulley system to raise and lower it from the ceiling area. Keep up the great content.
You did a great job 😂😂
Building a little village on the hill side would be fantastic. A great way to share this beautiful place, without overbuilding.
Consulting a Qualified Engineer about the slide and swing ladder is a great idea. Their per hour charge maybe be lowed by suppling apple pie.
Clifford as the Summer cabin is a great idea and I would rather have a cargo net underneath out of the view to catch the odd skill saw and other flying things. The Meadow build will have another awesome Winter view. Gosh you are going to be busy seeing your friends Clifford and Meadow. Make sure you leave enough quality time with Steve.
Luna looking at the panorama, make me feel that she is an happy girl now ;)
Primero amo la forma que tratas a tus maravillosos perros, segundo cualquier escritor o pintor o anyone amaría rentar por una o dos semanas una pequeña cabaña at the new spot que mostraste, that sunrise it’s wonderful.❤❤❤❤❤
Enchanting is the only word I can think of to describe this next in a long series of vids as you build your won't-fal-l-oft. Who can resist the urge to be with you through your thinking; at least in a mental state? I hope you are happy that you left that tree on the left side of your vista. What a beautiful person you are! -Curt
Thanks Curt! 💝💝
Nice work Michelle. I like when you take pictures of your surroundings. I think the last time I was in BC was about 10 years ago. PS. I had some pretty serious health issues that kept me away from building anything. I think I’ll will get back living again shortly.
Hinge the ladder above the window and it can go up parallel with the loft ..you can put eye lags into the rungs for hanging pots or stuff...that will stay hanging even if you put it up and down...just a thought.
Back to the purple 🎵💜 🤣🤣
The 🪜 looks cool in the cabin for sure!!
You girls must of loved the little get away and the walks all over ..
Have to keep an eye out for some fallen hard wood around Clifford so you don't have to haul it in .
The smile says it all about your first night in your cozy loft dreams ❤.
that cabin deck would be sweet with some glass type railings
Logs upright for support with the bark and slots cut in for Plexi glass for safety thick Plexi with nice clarity. For safety and it would look sweet
The down jacket looks good on you, love your videos
You are such a worker it's crazy.I'll bet they just love you at your regular job.gotta spray some WD 40 on that.
Hi, nurse Michy, just a thought. So as I was watching this video this morning, I was thinking about the square o ring attachments you brought up from the cabin and used them for support on the bed 4x4s.
I had an Idea on how to utilize them. How about you instead of plant holder or such you get a solid pole and use that to make you barn, well more like a library style of set up for a wall shelf style ladder. They sell the wheel attachments for the side and bottom of your ladder and I'm sure you can get one more square attachment for the center. And give it some centered support. Slide your ladder left and right. Just a thought, hope it helps. 👊🏼😊
Excellent video Michelle 👍 I always enjoy what you have for this week. Your cabin on the side of a mountain is spectacular 💥 Enjoy that you have a dog or dogs with you: we have 2 dogs rescue lab and husky! Unreal how they get along. Our pride and joys: Cedar and Jewel
Use a horizontal pipe that extends back under the loft. Hinge the ladder in the pipe, slide under loft and stow against bottom of loft. Have Steve design a little counterweight system for it.
That’s exactly my plan. But I think I can engineer it up myself - he’s too busy with other things 😊
Ok, wow, when you climbed up the ladder for the first time up into the loft... that view... just wow! amazing!
Maybe the hoist needs some lubrication? I use a greaseless lubrication that works quite well outdoors... What a view to wake up too!! That is an inspiring aspiration to build something in the meadow, Even tougher to get materials too, huh? I guess your 2 little friends up there are hibernating . The ladder looks d345 good!
Just an Idea for your stairs/ladder. You could install hinges on the top rails and a pulley to raise the ladder when not in use.
The ladder looks great in the cabin. When you got those hinges from the dock in place on the loft, my first thought was that you could put a steel rod, or EMT between them and through the top of the stringers of the ladder and use it like a library ladder system to slide it along the loft and out of the way and doubling as a hinge to swing the whole ladder up to stow it up and out of the way. Perhaps with a pulley that can attach and detach from under the center of the lowest rung of the ladder. I look forward to Sunday mornings and your video coming out. Have a great week!!
You have made a beautiful place in a beautiful location. Ladder where you have it is perfect just secure it. Trust your timbers, from an old almost washed out engineer.
You should be a photographer,and sell your prints,such a beautiful place,love your cabins,plus look forward to your videos
I just came across your channel a few weeks ago and I love your sense of adventure .,, your problem solving skills and your humor. I checked out some of your older videos and was fascinated by your adventures on water as well .. after watching some of this series I can see why you and your husband hit it off as you are both talented and pioneers of your own callings .. I am not sure if you have ever done a video on your pet family and how they all came into your lives but I would love to watch a video of a story telling of how your fur family became your furever family .. admire how much you both love your pets and nature,,.. xo from South central Ontario .
Be sure to subscribe n like 👍 her channel..😊
The ladder looks great in the cabin, love the live edge. I like it the way you used it facing away from the loft... it's true that could cut into the ability to use the dance floor but personally I would want to see the ladder rather than fold it away and hide it somewhere. keep well 🙂
My gosh, Lenny and Luna, it's a real " love story " ;) ;) ;)
Your ladder looks and works great!
My vote is to mount it sideways, parallel to the loft. But instead of stowing it under the loft, mount the top of the ladder to a sturdy rod (acting as an axle/hinge) protruding out from the side of the loft. Drill a hole near the end of each stringer so you can slide the end of the ladder over the rod/axle. Provide an attachment point at the bottom of the ladder to attach a clasp with a rope and pulley system. Attach a cleat to the wall to secure the rope once the ladder is stowed beside the loft.
You could also have the ladder in the "stowed" position while you're in the loft to provide an added degree of safety or as another flat surface space for bulky items you bring up with you.
By the way, you did a wonderful job creating and editing this video. Always enjoy your four-legged fur babies sprinkled in your videos. The affection and care you show for them is very endearing. I have two 9-year-old Labs (Ben and Sam) and they are my world.
Anyway, thank you Michelle for sharing your life with us every Sunday. The sound of your voice has a wonderful calming effect. You're just too adorable for words. ❤
☮️ on 🌎
I really appreciate how you tie your thought process into your tasks and projects. Your channel is criminally undersubscribed Michelle. Keep up the good work!
You can't be more correct .... just subscribed .... take care✌🏻
If she refuses t put up a railing soon I will also unsubscribe. Now a matter of the dogs’ safety.
I had an idea, hinge or pin with a rod at the top, in the sideways position . Then to lift it up and down you could use small block and tackle type pully system at the bottom edge and attach it to the ceiling rafter. That way it would be totally out of your way during the day. Those small block and tackle pully systems can be bought at Princess Auto for cheap. Just a thought.
Such a beautiful place. I could live and die there, for sure. Would love to be a cliff dweller. One of my favorite channels.
Awesome! Love your videos! Your ladder looks really cool, but I would fix it on the top, to the sleeping platform, so it can't slide. A big hello from the Netherlands!
less snowy nice.
'Live Edge' loft ladder...Two Thumbs up.
I did a live edge spiral stairs back in 1982 with a cedar tree for the center pole for one of my log home designs.
I used a Pine tree in the center of the house to hold up the roof of chainsaw milled timbers. Steel hanger brackets were custom made by a blacksmith and followed the design of hardware in Greene & Greene designs and used on Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood/Oregon.
You're a bundle of energy and one strong woman. The view from that loft to fall asleep to and to wake up to is absolutely awesome .
The ladder matches your cabin perfectly! Anyone who's watched a few of your vids knows your innate ability at producing gorgeous decor.
I love your idea of the ladder being parallel to the loft. So much easier to use and in 30 years, the older you will thank you.
Thanks for taking everyone with you on your journey, MG! 😊
Bien hecho Michygoss
Michy, at the top of the stone wall why not lower your stuff with a rope. Have you hubby install a pulley so you don't cut the rope. Install something out over the edge with a pulley. Tie up what you need to send down to the next level, Push it over the side. Have the other end tied to the back of you truck on the hitch maybe with another pulley and let it down slow. Beats carrying everything down those long steps. Just a though. You might have something at the top of the wall so you don't fall over, like a railing, one one the deck might be a good idea also. Wanted to tell you about this be for. Good luck.
Looks good.I basically live in something like this mine is log and around 400 sq ft but plenty for me and my dog this is my 4th winter.I love the woods I live in the peace and tranquility. Best part no Bill's.This has basically saved my life mentally. Was so nice to escape the racket.I love watching others build there dreams why I watch things like this.I have a saw mill like yours it's totally a must if 7ou are doing wood projects all the time.5hey pay for themselves quickly. Cheers.Love watching you and dogs.I also must add I think your very capable and quite handy.Take time always pays off.
Reinforcement of loft latts a great idea, if you get big Steve up there with you you'll be safer. Ladder is perfect. Thanks for the video! 🇺🇲🇮🇱
You can even make chef boy R D Ravoli too. The ones here in America, you just pull the top open (no need for can opener). Just an option. :)
I know there is never enough time, but a cover over the area where you operate the sky-mule would prove beneficial.
Это сколько сил же потрачено для постройки такого дома! Нахождение его в таком чудесном фантастическом месте с таким шикарный видом. Делает его уникальным сказачным!!!!
I just watch u working on ur dog food cabinet, i built a end table beside my bed i used old barn wood and for the drawer i used an old old wooden fruit box. It turned out great (i thought) the wife said it was very cool too.. but she loves me and i hope she liked it lol.just a idea in future. Very cool channel just watched first time.
Railing. I had a house in the Adirondack Mountains on a lake. The back porch facing the lake had screens ceiling to floor and an aluminum storm door in the middle. We would sit our after dinner and the view was great EXCEPT for the door, it annoyingly blocked the view of the lake and the mountains beyond. So I took the door apart and replaced the metal with clear lexan. Problem solved. You could screw a 2 x 4 to the floor, 4 x 4 on either end, bolted to the deck and then create 2 x 4 panels with a dado groove cut and then insert the lexan sheets. Just an Idea. I'm guessing there's no railing yet because you don't want to mess up the view. Please put up a railing.
The ladder is a fashion statement that stands alone and requires no matching other than the fact that it’s rustic and refined. Thanks for the video and good luck on the chandelier project 😊As for the railing you will see in time that it should be done ✅ 😂
You mentioned the future rail right as I was thinking about it. When it comes to heights, it's not that I'm afraid, it's that I prefer to look up at something high up not down on something far below.... but I must say your view is awesome.
Continue trusting your artistic instinct when it comes form and function, its working very well. As for the ash tray/pot, I hand form copper and would be happy to hammer something out for you. I think that would be kinda neat. I feel very much at peace watching. Thanks from just South of Pittsburgh...
I would revisit the dock and look for a couple more of those brackets, then use them to hinge the ladder parallel to the loft and hoist it up when not in use. It will give you more floorspace when you have a cabin full of dogs
EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT CABIN IS REALLY NEAT, YOU DID A GREAT JOB!
Ladder looks great....like the sliding idea maybe Steve can assist 😁....don't need the additional strapping on the loft bed floor.....great video!!
