It's time to move on from this.

- I take the newly built ladder out to the cliff, with some firewood and odds and ends, to stay the night for my first sleep in the loft. Luna is with me, so I wanna take her on some fun adventures too, taking advantage of the fact that there is no snow there. Woooo hooooo!!
I’ll show you some places on the property in this video, and also start working on adding structural integrity to the loft. But between this and the ladder set up/install I’m feeling like I need to move on from this - it’s time to walk away from the inside of the cabin and start on something else. I’m pretty sure siding is next on the list. 😁
Thanks for watching and see you in the next one!
M 💝💝
(Ps - I do think the stove top fan did help distribute the heat more evenly throughout the cabin. Thought the outside temps were warmer than my last visit, the cabin was more comfortable this time. I was very warm in the loft, and the morning temperature inside was about 8 degrees Celsius with outside being about -5 Celsius)

A deck without a hand rail is an accident waiting to happen.
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!
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.
💝
Tough getting there, but the view is incredible.
Hey Beautiful Always looking Great. Enjoy your Property!!!!!
Nothing better than a beautiful woman caring a ladder.
Seriously? Nothing?
Weird fetish, mate. 😂
@@jakester455 More beautiful is a woman and/or a dog that doesn’t plummet off the deck! Hope she isn’t refusing to do this as some sort of dramatic statement. Silly.
@@jakester455 Must be some kind of fetish thing. I'll have to Google it.
OMG I just Googled it and apparently there is a beautiful woman carrying a ladder fetish.
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!
I would take a metal pipe and mount it underneath the bed at the end. Then, I would make two holes in the long wooden parts of the ladder and thread them onto the pipe back and forth. When the ladder is not needed, you can slide it completely under the bed, pushing it upward where the end is secured to the ceiling with a buckle. Simple but effective 😅
Well said that it is not a race. Because the slow driver will also reach the destination. Though the original in German has a nicer, more flowing feel to it: “Wer langsam fährt, kommt auch zum Ziel.”
First of all great latter. Turn the ladder sideways like you showed us. Use the dock hardware and run a metal rod through them and through the top of your ladder. Then use a rope and a pulley for the other end to pull it up to the ceiling. Bingo. ❤
The other night, I had dinner with my Dog at McDonald's in maryborough Qld Australia... while I was sitting there, I began to realise that my dog was no longer by my side... .died years ago....im an ex member of the NSW POLICE FORCE TOU...we spent many nights having dinner together...in 2001 I had an accident wich resulted in loss of memory....ive spent many years walking around not knowing who i really was..its now 2024 and my memories are finally returning...I feel weird... flashbacks...anyway, I clicked on TH-cam this morning, and there you were... my favourite person just doing her thing... Cheers... you always make me smile... and I definitely wouldn't put a railing up on your veranda...spoils the view...if you can build a cabin on a cliff without dying... who needs a railing...
The cabin is really getting crowded and cozy
Couple of thoughts. One the banjo at the beginning... fire! Two, "Dreams comin' True" right on. Three, what are you planning for the floor of the cabin? Four, contrary to everyone one else, I like the fact there is no guard rail. There's something about the openness...
You could in Corp that ladder anywhere in the cabin it fits right in Have a Blessed week give your fur babies a hug and tell Steve Hello until next time
Side the ladder, and ask Steve to think about designing a Stabilizing rigg and Hoist system to easily lift and lower the ladder to your bunk and down to the floor
Hinge the ladder to the top plate, parallel to the bunk then attach a pulley system to raise and lower it. It will be out of the way when not needed and add a bit of security when your sleeping.
Nobody plans to fall off a deck😬 Get the railings up please. It wouldn’t be right to enjoy that fabulous view just one more time.
A library ladder.
Hello from Brunswick, Maine, US. I was hatched in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1952,
If we get to that tequila now that railing could become mandatory. lol. I like your idea of ladder slide under and fold up. Guess I’d have to see it your eyes better. Looking good on the cliff!
Michy, it's the year of the water dragon in Chinese astrology, a very good omen for the successful completion of Hillside Clifford 😂
That had to be the best experience, first time in the loft!
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.
🪜 Idea: Trim rails' ears for an angled/flush fit against the loft's joists. More surface area: more stability.
You should not falling down when you sleep too LOL.... 😻 You must show me the stars wow...
Else it becomes a chore It's good you go hike, especially for the dogs. Cats too, in my case. Oh! And a Lee cloth to the side of that bunk to stop a midnight trip ;-)
Michelle, You mentioned that the floor, walls and roof are insulated which is great. You could create your own dual pane loft windows by installing polycarbonite sheets with a 1 inch gap between the glass and plastic. That 1 inch dead space will act as insulation.
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.
Michy, whatever you choose to do with the ladder, you need to ensure that it will not fall down while you are in the loft. At the very least temporarily I would attach a rope to it and something at the top. With the size of the dogs that you have around one of them could easily bump it enough for it to fall, making it almost impossible to get down, and heaven forbid that it fall on one of them.
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.
Beautiful view. Excited you had the first overnight. How fun
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.
For the loft ladder you can put a 2x6 against the wall under the loft and out past it to allow the ladder to slide. Add a 2x6 on the left and right side. Drill a hole for the solid rod that will act as the hinge for the ladder. Drill two holes at the top of the ladder. The basic look would be like a towel rack in a sense.
The ladder looks great and the view is beautiful. I can see why you two purchased the property.
I was going to mention the zipper trick and i forgot to comment on it... good you fixed coat/zipper!... The meadow looks awesome for building site!
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.
Ladder looks awesome in there! 😎
The fan is cool. Missing Klosterfrau Melissengeist 😂
What would be cool is if you had a pivot for the ladder on the top end,, so that you could swing it up and use it as a railing running alongside of the bed and then pull it down to use as a ladder when you wanted to get up there.
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.
Well... It's pretty obvious that Lenny is in love. I was thinking while you were at the cliff-dwelling that there might be some "Lenny-Luna-lonesomeness" going back at the "Ranch". The closing scene confirmed it. Your ladder turned out very nice. I like your idea of hiding it under the loft when not in use. I'll be interested to see how you solve the "engineering" problems, which I am very confident that you will do. After you do have some professional resources to call upon. I'm so pleased to see you dream coming true. I so love the life you are sharing with us. Thank you again for including those of us who can appreciate it. And, yes it is another "Smiley Sunday" here in Michigan.🙂
Michy. What a Beautiful place to get some R&R. Michy put your ladder on the Side then when you not Sleeping put a Pulley on the Bottom of your ladder and Pull it up to get it out of the Way. Still you are an Awesome Wood craftswoman. 👍🏻
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.
Hey Michelle, Thanks for the shoutout! You are welcome!
The view is amazing. congratulations on making it happen,
4:59 best view ever.
The stars at night from that position must be amazing. That is the perfect cabin on the cliff over the lake. Thanks for sharing this journey with us....
U SHOULD SEE WHAT THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE WITH A P1000
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.
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.
if you do a railing I think you should do a rope one . Like a big rope from a fishing boat. I think it would look good.
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.
You need to incorporate some hooks on the top of the ladder to attach it to the loft for your safety.
Michy, always enjoy your content. No offense to you (and especially your husband) but when you were trying to get the clip on the skymule to work, the view of you in those jeans was utter perfection! What a woman (inside & out)!!
15:53...The Reality of a Dream...Work! Work! Work!
A labour of love...🔨🪚
I like it!
Good morning Michelle..
Your latter is like a work of art and it fits perfectly with everything else you have created at Clifford…
You and several other creators on here ( RingWorm)
To name one show us all that if you have a vision there is absolutely no reason to not make it come to fruition. And then stand back and smile and be proud of what you have accomplished…
And you share it with us…
Life is short and there is no reason to not make it be happy and enjoy it to the fullest…
I know every day is a cake walk but we all have the capacity to overcome it.
As a FF for 25 years and you as a nurse understand how precious Life is..
I very much enjoy you sharing just a piece of you and Steve’s little piece of joy you have carved out for yourself and all the fur babies…
Again thank you for sharing with us…
Positivity is always contagious so keep spreading it…
Can’t wait for all your new adventures ..
Cheers….
Your ladder looks really cool. Great job 👏 😊
I think you made the correct decision to forgo the steel plates to connect the boards in your loft. But you may still want to keep them apart orherwise. Try cutting 4 small blocks like 1" x 3" and lay them between the boards 20" in from each end. You'll still have sufficient open space for air and your mattress pad will keep them in place for the most part. This will also allow for contraction or expansion of the long boards. Also, look into library ladder rails for your new ladder.
Maybe the ladder could stow flat against the wall, give you more space downstairs. Great stove, btw.
How about a pulley system for the ladder? Put ladder to the side & hook up a pulley system to lift bottom of ladder to hoist up along loft. So it would be suspended in the air at the same height as the loft & tie it off to a cleat or something like that.
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.
Ladder could be on the side hinged at the top to the beam, then some kind of rope pulley at the bottom so when you lift it up it's parallel to the loft.
Try pivoting the ladder from the right side stringer only, which would store the ladder parallel to the loft with the runs verticle.
Lucky for u - Steve is an Engineer !!!
@17:30 Wow!!! I could sit there all day just taking it all in.
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.
Nice ladder! Please put a safety rail on the loft!
Levis should sponsor you!!!
Hi Michelle, maybe attach a swivel hinge to the right side of the ladder at the top so that it will pull back and also move to the left. That way you could just swing it out of your way and hook it on the left side. It also would look like a railing for the loft when it was up.
I think the ladder looks good like you got it. Good job
You crack me up 🤣. You’re seriously beautiful and I love your dogs 🥰👍
Those are some reallly nice Levi's.
Hi Michelle. I've watched pretty much everything that you've uploaded and I must say that I'm impressed with what you're all about. Your tenacity, your 'stick-to-it- ive' ness, your heart. As a matter of fact, if you think of all about you that I should be impressed with, and don't be scared to embellish...I'm impressed. Thank you so much for the content you've provided.
By the way...if you have room enough to do it, you could hinge your ladder to the frame of your loft and lift it out of the way with a small pulley. Take care...I'll be looking in on you.
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
My thoughts exactly!!! 😂
🤣@@michygoss7148
An idea I've had for loft stairs that is admittedly not that rustic (and I may not be able to explain without drawing it) build a (floating) box frame off the loft extending out, and secured to ceiling rafters with wood posts or cables at the outside corners - and then install a fold down attic stair in the box frame - securely attached at the loft, the outside (floating) corners of the frame would only need to support the minimal weight of the stair unit when closed. I've also seen loft ladders built with door hinges on the treads so it can be collapsed to a lot thinner for storage
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
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.
I think the ladder looks Great
Me gusta! Congratulations. Saludos desde Chiapas, México.
Its just beautiful at that location. Thank you for sharing. Oh yes we are concerned for your saftey. Please be careful. I like your loft.
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!
Barn track with a hinge at the top should work. You will want to put a pulley with a rope and dock tie off to pull it up and store.
Your ladder doesn't need to be one piece. You can cut in in half and hinge the back side, then hinge it to the loft, then have a pully to hoist it up when not in use as it folds in half. The pully can even have a separate wheel that allows you to lift and lower it once you are up in the loft. Use one of those wheels you found like the one @ 14:25.
Yikes, the lack of snow concerns me re: uocoming fire season. This continent could use a break! LOVE your vids. Hugs for all the doggies. 👍😎🇨🇦💜🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💙
Swivel hinge from right to left. Bottom secured to loft edge. You could rig it so it works as a guard so you don’t fall off when sleeping.
Awesome view from the cabin thank for sharing
From small acorns grow large oak trees which produce more cabins in the woods crack on girl be good be safe
Insulation on inside cabin would help plus I’d put railing up on deck before someone falls off and get railing on your ladder to help you up and down don’t forget to clear in ladder so it doesn’t kick out on you
Love them Nilsson tune reference.
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.
What beautiful views! Beautiful place !
Yes, I think your ladder looks great. Love that live edge and the grain looks really tight, like old growth. And, I don't think you need those flat plates on the loft boards. You'll have some rigidity without them.
You look so good in the back seat of the car ❤
Maybe install a raw board lengthwise down the center underneath of the bed to add safety and matching your theme
I think the ladder looks great in the cabin. I think you should go with a metal rail with rollers so you can slide it out to use it and then slide it back to store it away up against the bottom of the loft. you can always take a cut off from your wood mill with the live edge and attach it to the side of the loft that you can see so it matches the live edge of the ladder. really love the view you have of the lake from up there. its very beautiful. also I wish you would put some railing on your deck so you won't fall off by accident.
"I'm not going to fall off" Is how a LOT of video's start off on TH-cam🤣
Try a barn door rail and rollers. Place the top over the kitchen counter area.
Me and my arrow from the movie The Point.
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 😊
HI Michelle. The ladder turned out to look really nice. A thought is to use the dock hinges and hinge the ladder to the wall caps/beam run it parallel to the bed like you wanted and use a pulley and cable to lift it out of the way. Might work the way you wanted. I personally like the idea of the library ladder someone else mentioned. Brackets on the top with a steel rail and wheels on the bottom. It showcases the ladder and can be moved out of the way as needed. Thing is, we're not there to experience the space and not sure if either one is suitable. As far as the loft deck goes, I would put a strip of wood or steel angle under the boards on the side where the groove is cut in the cross beam. That's your weak spot. It will give some margin of safety for the boards sagging or shrinking. The top boards you are adding will spread the load out more but won't prevent the boards from slipping out of the groove. So now the butt kisses....I'm blown away by your achievements, tenacity and energy...and of course your eyes. Bravo. Take care.
yes the ladder looks great Michy
