Hi everyone! I forgot to mention the game camera findings! There was nothing, which is comforting! The camera wasn’t in a very good place, so I’ve moved it. Will keep you all posted!
Your "One woman" work getting the locker down to the cabin...50% crazy?...100% crazy?...100% Fantastic. Love your cabin build and your video posts for all of us. Thanks
This video shows the reality of just how hard it is to accomplish your vision of this build and project. It is not only physically hard, but mentally as well. You have a never give up attitude, which actually does inspire me to keep going with my projects. I am sure you are inspiring others as well, because I read it in the comments. Keep your head up! Be proud of yourself! You are doing great.
Ice grippers for your boots would make that a lot easier. Stihl should make a commercial for their saws with your story of the ledge fall. Tough saws for tough ladies!
I feel the burn in my feet,legs and butt!! That's got to just wear you out!! And then the camera placement that nobody sees!! You go girl!! Best show out!!
You are one amazing woman! But don’t be so hard on yourself! Everything worth doing takes time! One thing I enjoy about woodworking as it helps me to slow down and enjoy everything more!👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
Michelle, in the future i call you Braveheart (perhaps not so original). What you show in this video is a glow of your character. It's not only the result of what you do, but also the process of it and what's going on in your head. You have a lot of followers who will help you with their best meaned advice. Also that for you to overthink. Of course there are moments of doubt and feelings of discourages. But with your character, your determination, willpower and some good advice of others you will succeed. This is a project you will be proud off. Go on Braveheart you are on the way.
I'm so sorry you fell and hurt yourself. I hope you're not acking too badly. Don't worry about what didn't go as planned, it will work out. Make some notes and a drawing or two and regroup. Don't be disheartened, you'll get it, and it may turn out better. Be well, and smile, it's getting there.
i am impress. you moved that locker unit by yourself and you didn't destroy the locker unit in that move. I am part of a small group called the One Eyed Workshop. The premise of the group is, if while drinking a bit, thinking about the project and if it starting to look good through one eye (remember drinking a bit) and in the morning it looks like it will work with two eyes (sober) then it might be the way to go. Suggest bring the bottle with you to one eye these tasks in the evening before the next day with two eyes.
@@zapa1pnt I admire her independence and her attitude to take on a challenge. It impresses me how she is comfortable enough to be alone, and motivated to do stuff.
I understand how it is when you have a vision and you see it in your head… then theres the reality of brining it to fruition. The 2 often collide. I gotta say, l like the 2 half logs on either side. Looks really nice. I do hope your knee is better. Your struggle with that behemoth down the hill was definitely real! PS: that million dollar view is worth it 👍🏻
You really are a determined « superwoman »….lockers weighing 200 lbs , awkward size, complicated downhill slope with snow, ice, rocks, and by yoursel, no helper around….bravo….
Hi Michelle Sorry for the late response and advice . you may be beyond this solution .but watching you getting those heavy items down that slop[e by the steps . my solution would; be clearing the grade and slope to the right of the stairs get a electric winch on the front bumper of your truck. when using it park near the ramp and control the weight with the winch. a controlled decent would make the work so much easier .
It’s been talked about many times (a winch on my truck), but I just can’t manage fixing all the things that need fixing on my own. I need an assistant! Lol
Hey Michelle! You should have a short discussion and a tall glass of wine with Shawn. He'll get your mood back on the level. Set backs and minor injuries are an unfortunate part of the experience. Go home and hop in the hot tub (with another glass of wine) and recuperate all your troubles away. Try looking at the lockers as if they're just a piece of 'furniture'. Give it a good steel toed boot! It will add flair! Focus on the building and move the furniture around over the next two years until it's "just right!" The Michygoss Way!
Bonjour Michele. Toute cette activité est très intense ! Tu n'es pas obligée de t'infliger autant de risques d'accidents pour construire une cabane de luxe avec une vue extraordinaire et imprenable, çà, c'est effectivement un privilège unique ! Seule, ou presque, tu défies les éléments naturels, tu construits, fabriques, répares, etc... ! Bravo !
This woman is so much fun to watch. I would balance the lockers while doing the flooring install, set it down, then get flooring under the other side. Prop it on edge.
Love the new broom handle!😁😂 M, struggling with that locker, and the fall can really effect how you feel. Get some rest and things will look brighter. You are well capable of handling whatever ever this build throws at you. ♥️🦅❤️✝️🇺🇸🙏🐕🦺
The cabinets are metal bits that are pieced together... coming off of a cliff did what is called "Racking" and so therefore are a bit here and some there to become twisted a touch. Why worry unless it gets featured in Homes & Gardens magazine. With you, nothing is strange anymore....
Hi ,saw you slip sliding away and thought o she gets so much advise and so I'll just slip in the the crampons and slide back to support from afar. My initial thought was o I should get some crampons .
You never cease to amaze me. Don't worry about expressing your frustration or disappointment, Michelle, nobody expects you to have or show no emotion. It's part of your journey to the completion of the cabin. We all love you all the same 🙂
There’s a grey line between stubbornness and commitment. You clearly live on both sides of that line. Kudos to you and all your efforts and accomplishments.
We'll missy I hate to see you doing more than your body can handle, hate you fell and hurt yourself, glad it turned out good for you, I worry to much sometime but always remember if your first thought is I need help , you usually do! Stay safe! Ole fart from Alabama
That’s always the challenge - I plan my days out there based on Steve’s shorter work days, or days we can have someone come over to give them a potty break. I dream of having a set up where the dogs have a dog door and a fenced area to potty in (but Steve won’t allow it! 🤫)
Hi there. great job, great videos. instead of using your cool chainsaw when comes to nails or screws borken in lumber, look for reciprocating blades that are specific for branches, small trees etc, they look like large tooth saw. I had same problem with chains needing sharpening, a milwakee sawz all works great for rough lumber with nails or screws in it. those blades im talking of are large.
I have no doubt that you will make it come together, look at what you have accomplished so far. Most would have changed course long before now because they are afraid of work. Keep it up!
next time take your straps and run them thru the d ring it should help keeping your load off the ground just the center one i think might help you get the clearance you need
As many times before, I am impressed by your work in progress, a work of art…and a « work of arms »… litterally « une job de bras » in french ….your are very ingeneous in how you use leverage to move things/stuff to your cabin…kudos….I love the rusted lockers and I think you should stay with the same species and color for the posts around them….best from Montreal…merci…
Some days you're the chainsaw...some days you're the broken screw. Chasing bubbles can be challenging. I was setting some island cabinets a few weeks ago and just about threw my level into its next life when I realized that the floor was shifting with my weight (180 plus tool belt) when standing on different sides of the island. Some projects diligently search for new ways to poke you in the butthole. The good news is, it is spring and the birds have only one thing on their minds. Your song fell on sidetracked ears. :)
You no the greatest thing about a wood stove is it's ability for long lasting heat, your gonna hate me for my idea after the struggle down the grade with lockers but, to build a stove down there looking over that view that you have would be awesome. Let me expand, with an oven built with a real fire brick that retains heat all night long and is an oven for the cabin , and is actually not even in the cabin, not taking any space inside, leaving for more room....What a plus .... Just an idea,... I can't wait to to see the finale for the cabin on the the cliff with the Million Dollar view...Contemplate that idea because when it comes right down to that stove can't conduct heat like a fire brick oven can all night long. And for needing a little help it's not like committing defeat, you'd be surprised, what you could get done, with a little help, and your still the boss. its hard to keep winging it by your self.👍
Use the short 2x4 and use another the full width of the locker, Your idea was better!!! you did goood!! you did real good dont beat yourself up! even the best carpenter has bad days!!!! YOu did GReat! !!
im worried about the cabin staying upright. esp with the potential snow load and winds and being on a cliff side. I know you know this but, houses are nailed together because they'd never pass inspection if they were screwed together, because screws break. I know that they make "structural" screws now but theyre literally 5 times as expensive as nails and still wouldn't pass inspection. and houses are built with the studs 16" O/C not only so the sheetrock doesn't get wavy over time, but also because there needs to be a certain amount of nails in every sheet of plywood on the exterior, and having studs at 2' O/C would delete a quarter of the nails. most codes require a sheet of exterior plywood be nailed 1' O/C in the field and 6" O/C along the edges. those nails are what keep the house from falling down. im not trying to be condescending, because it's not my intention, but, I see a lot of DIY content creators ignoring basic construction and wood working rules not only because they dont understand what a king, trimmer, cripple, collar tie and common rafter are and think screws are stronger than nails, but also because there's a certain self importance that comes with the "DIY/maker" title, and false idea that construction workers are not DIY and had to learn from someone else, therefore their methods are irrelevant. I know that you dont fall under that category, but I think it's important to not ignore. please forgive me if you've thought about all that and have it all penciled out.
The timber frame itself stood up over this past winter without any walls on it. I used a combination of screws and nails (nails where shearing might occur) for the wall boards.

Shouldn’t beat yourself up not going to hit a home run every time it just might be a couple of singles witch is awesome you are doing what other people couldn’t even fathom of doing with a gang of people and you are doing it by yourself you are doing amazing
Michelle, as impressed as I am that you moved those lockers down to your cabin by yourself, I wonder if this falls into the question: just because you can, does that mean you should? I only say that because of your injuries from the move.
@@michygoss7148 I know the feeling. I’m 190cm and strong as a bull. But, I’m getting older and past injuries still ache at times. I am concerned about future pains. Might be a consideration for you too.
Michelle, you looked tired and beat up in this video. Getting the locker down to the cabin build alone was a massive undertaking. Do yourself a favor and take the time to plan your projects out a little more as far as the construction of the various parts of the cabin. Speaking from the voice of experience, taking a few minutes to plan ahead can save you hours of grief.
Love your videos. Supporting the lockers by the flat of the bottom shelf might not be as sturdy as sitting the lockers on a platform so it sits on the upright edges it was designed to.
Well compared to most people on the planet - you’re kicking ass. You have no one to bounce ideas off in the moment. Hell, I always reach out even when I know exactly what I think needs to be done. 2 brains are better than one as they say.. but you’re doing it. Very impressive. Love your determination and willingness to put it all out there. It’ll all work out fine. 🙂 always does.
That’s so true. Sometimes it’s nice to just bounce an idea or two off of someone, but I don’t have that out there. So I fumble my way trying it to find an answer and then try and explain it to a camera. Lol. (Which I often suck at! 🤪)
For the solar panels, they do not have to been on a flat surface, all they need is Sun on the panels. You have all kinds of room out where your burn barrel is.
But you’re forgetting that the cable to connect the panels to the power station is short. That means hauling the power station (130 lbs) down a steep slope so they’re in the sun for 25 minutes, and then in shade for almost the rest of the day. The I have to haul them back up. I will wait until I have a more permanent place for things to live and a set up that doesn’t have to be moved around much.
@@michygoss7148 That is a problem. In the future you could possibly make longer cables. (Wire is cheap!) You can take the cable home and make very long cables.
Seriously.....no words. I'm so impressed with your resilience, aka "stubbornness" but love that you chain saw "Stihl" works! Not gonna lie, I LoL at that one!
You will undoubtedly be scaling that icy hill again (maybe no this winter but next). I wear Korkers Ultra Ice Cleats (Amazon $24.99 US). They really take the sketchiness out of treading on an icy surface. You'll be wearing them often! Nice job, Mich!
First off Michelle great job, you remind me of a female version of me. One lady show. Must say been looking forward to your next Video's all week. Your a brute on how you get things done. And if that is what u call grumpy mood , I would say take that any day of the week. Also see alot more of how you get stuff down the hill. If I make it up to my friends house I will make a video of his trolley cart and post it on my account for you to view. keep up the good work. Jeff
Don't be down hearted, you will always have days when things just don't flow. Stick with it. Great views across the lake for the sunset and the sun rise! Why not just bolt the lockers to the wall and lift them clear of the floor. If you do not lift the lockers they may touch on the floor. You need to go and buy a second chain, then when you hit some metal you can just change it for the sharp one and take the chains home with you to sharpen on an other day!
18:37 You can let the back of the lockers float. You've got the wood under the lockers giving some support to the bottom, so shim the front, screw it down, then screw the top to the board in the back. The screws there will relieve the weight of lockers so they don't deform due to not having a shim at the back. You're doing well and it'll be fine. :)
In your own words, you are impatient, determined and stubborn. Those traits are what help you achieve all that you do. In that sense, they are qualities. The other side of that coin is; those traits make it difficult to grant that one small person Grace. Just an observation, never a judgement. I appreciate and admire you and your videos. Don’t ever think that they, or you, are anything less than wonderful.
Locker should be inside and secured to the wall for thermal conductivity at minimum. As long as your floor is stable and level it shouldn't need much to prevent it from tipping.
People always talk about how the Egyptians, Inca, Rapa Nui and Mayans built their structures (and many others). The proof is right here. If you have the drive and desire people can make anything happen. Michy moved lockers probably twice her weight with just ropes and off the shelf climbing gear and a whole lot of drive or passion. Not the safest decision but if you want something done....
fyi a must do - Mitchgoss Merch shirts "it is what it is" you'll sell thousands 😂 hope you got those kisses and cuddles you needed , stay strong , your doing really well considering the terrain and environment , best wishes from sunny Qld Australia 🤔
I'm not clear on why the lockers need to fit tight to the wall. Just for securing? Couldn't you just shim and add some trim to cover gaps, either at the floor or along the walls? BTW, when you look up 'stubborn' in the dictionary, it's says 'see Michy'.
Because I’m not building this cabin in any proper way, I was trying/hoping I could use the lockers and their strength as a structural component to the back wall, as well as a stand alone aesthetic feature of the cabin.
You are going to injure yourself, never stand ahead of a very heavy object that could fall on you. Think in geometry terms and use geometry to figure out how to move an object safely. Think safety. Build a sled and tie it to those lockers. Then use your ropes to belay it down the slope with you out of the way. I always use devices to make these things safer to do. Use a plumb bob on the vertical, it will tell you if the lockers are out. My guess is the horizontal 2x is bowed. Full marks for your attitude, l admire it so much.
@@michygoss7148 thus build a sled out of 4x4's, taper the fronts of them just like a skid. Even attach longer 2x4's to the front angle to gain a height advantage in comparison to that snow and ice. Takes little time but gives you the advantage over the lockers etc.. You are now in a much safer position and can belay them down. You could make a couple and store them for future use. As l age l can no longer lift the things l used to just pickup and carry. Now l use things to work to my advantage. A heavy duty flat dolly to roll heavier items onto my truck using ramps. The list goes on. I walk things along using the corners and twisting the item from corner to corner. Slower but easier and the end result is the same. I get what l want into place. A little tip on squaring corners, use the 3,4,5 method. In the corner measure 3’ one way then four feet the other. If the connecting distance from those two points is five feet you are square. Keep up the good work you are doing great. Kudos to you.
Re: Lockers…can’t you just mount it to the wall when you get the wall completed? It would only require 3-6 screws at the top/back only…and not mounting them to the floor at all.
nice job of splitting that log... it's getting there, keep your spirits up and keep moving forward.. a little at a time and eventually it'll get done..
Hi everyone! I forgot to mention the game camera findings! There was nothing, which is comforting! The camera wasn’t in a very good place, so I’ve moved it. Will keep you all posted!
That is good to know that the game camera didn't pick up anything. 🐻🦁
I'm sure the big cats was taking refuge under the roof hopefully they have moved to new turf since it is going to warm up
I think you scared them off last video by peeing 😂😂😂
@@Charliesaysz Not a bad idea . Peeing around the cabin wards off bears too
Guarenteed your going to see Sasquatch on your game cams.
Really impressed you moved a 200 lb locker that two people could not pick up
Was wondering about that too. But this Michy has quite the fit body and looks twice as determined . Need her as a canoe partner
7:27 - The sound of victory. Great job getting that rusty whale down the hill. Grant yourself a lot of grace. Thanks for sharing - cheers
Roadblocks and head scratching moments are the whole reason that some people smoke a pipe or drink another coffee. You're doing great.
Your "One woman" work getting the locker down to the cabin...50% crazy?...100% crazy?...100% Fantastic. Love your cabin build and your video posts for all of us. Thanks

Sometimes it's just hard work, nothing to apologise about. Damn good effort getting the lockers there and they look good in there.
When Steve is working and your there like this video, who takes care of your pups?
That’s always the challenge - I plan my days out there based on Steve’s shorter work days, or days we can have someone come over to give them a potty break.
I dream of having a set up where the dogs have a dog door and a fenced area to potty in (but Steve won’t allow it! 🤫)
Hi there. great job, great videos. instead of using your cool chainsaw when comes to nails or screws borken in lumber, look for reciprocating blades that are specific for branches, small trees etc, they look like large tooth saw.

Great choice with using the satin clear. This 200 lb solo locker move is the most amazing thing!
I'd be more than happy to help you😁
next time take your straps and run them thru the d ring it should help keeping your load off the ground just the center one i think might help you get the clearance you need
I admire how you never give up 👍
A little behind on my cliff videos. But I’m thinking the cliff cabin would really be a great location for an upright piano. 😂
The one woman army did it again while I lay in the hot tub full of admiration for this project :-)

The timber frame itself stood up over this past winter without any walls on it. I used a combination of screws and nails (nails where shearing might occur) for the wall boards.
Given the height of the lockers, I recommend securing them to the wall as well.
My plan was to try and make them a structural part of the wall, so they will definitely be fastened to the wall boards.
Michy, the lockers are just bolted together. They look awesome! Maybe they could be elevated and screwed to the wall?

Shouldn’t beat yourself up not going to hit a home run every time it just might be a couple of singles witch is awesome you are doing what other people couldn’t even fathom of doing with a gang of people and you are doing it by yourself you are doing amazing
Your awesome
You forgot to add the word INSANE when describing yourself! The things you attempt and achieve are truly amazing! 😮👏🏼😅
Ya that too! 😂
Michelle, as impressed as I am that you moved those lockers down to your cabin by yourself, I wonder if this falls into the question: just because you can, does that mean you should? I only say that because of your injuries from the move.
Tough question. If I know I can, it’s hard not to!
@@michygoss7148 I know the feeling. I’m 190cm and strong as a bull. But, I’m getting older and past injuries still ache at times. I am concerned about future pains. Might be a consideration for you too.
Here hold my beer and watch this. love your channel
Michelle, you looked tired and beat up in this video. Getting the locker down to the cabin build alone was a massive undertaking. Do yourself a favor and take the time to plan your projects out a little more as far as the construction of the various parts of the cabin. Speaking from the voice of experience, taking a few minutes to plan ahead can save you hours of grief.
I take my hat off to you Michelle
Good job sometimes it's just the way things happen Have a great day 🪵👍😉
Love your videos. Supporting the lockers by the flat of the bottom shelf might not be as sturdy as sitting the lockers on a platform so it sits on the upright edges it was designed to.
Possibly, yes. It might be a moot point now anyway as I’ve kinda changed things slightly.
You can do it😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Well compared to most people on the planet - you’re kicking ass.
You have no one to bounce ideas off in the moment. Hell, I always reach out even when I know exactly what I think needs to be done. 2 brains are better than one as they say.. but you’re doing it. Very impressive. Love your determination and willingness to put it all out there.
It’ll all work out fine. 🙂 always does.
That’s so true. Sometimes it’s nice to just bounce an idea or two off of someone, but I don’t have that out there. So I fumble my way trying it to find an answer and then try and explain it to a camera. Lol. (Which I often suck at! 🤪)
@@michygoss7148 That’s what makes me laugh when I watch. I can picture you having these major discussions with the camera! 😆
For the solar panels, they do not have to been on a flat surface, all they need is Sun on the panels. You have all kinds of room out where your burn barrel is.
But you’re forgetting that the cable to connect the panels to the power station is short. That means hauling the power station (130 lbs) down a steep slope so they’re in the sun for 25 minutes, and then in shade for almost the rest of the day. The I have to haul them back up.
I will wait until I have a more permanent place for things to live and a set up that doesn’t have to be moved around much.
@@michygoss7148 That is a problem. In the future you could possibly make longer cables. (Wire is cheap!) You can take the cable home and make very long cables.
Seriously.....no words. I'm so impressed with your resilience, aka "stubbornness" but love that you chain saw "Stihl" works! Not gonna lie, I LoL at that one!
3/4 round the bottom of the locker would be easy and look good stain the 3/4 round to match the flooring
You will undoubtedly be scaling that icy hill again (maybe no this winter but next). I wear Korkers Ultra Ice Cleats (Amazon $24.99 US). They really take the sketchiness out of treading on an icy surface. You'll be wearing them often! Nice job, Mich!
I have a pair of cleats now
First off Michelle great job, you remind me of a female version of me. One lady show. Must say been looking forward to your next Video's all week. Your a brute on how you get things done. And if that is what u call grumpy mood , I would say take that any day of the week. Also see alot more of how you get stuff down the hill. If I make it up to my friends house I will make a video of his trolley cart and post it on my account for you to view. keep up the good work. Jeff
Don't be down hearted, you will always have days when things just don't flow. Stick with it. Great views across the lake for the sunset and the sun rise! Why not just bolt the lockers to the wall and lift them clear of the floor. If you do not lift the lockers they may touch on the floor. You need to go and buy a second chain, then when you hit some metal you can just change it for the sharp one and take the chains home with you to sharpen on an other day!
I was saying that exact thing to myself last time out there. (Second chain)
Make 3 picture like frames flat and screw them under the lockers
The END or finishing jobs are the most demanding..
Screw the lockers to the studs at the top so they basically hang
18:37 You can let the back of the lockers float. You've got the wood under the lockers giving some support to the bottom, so shim the front, screw it down, then screw the top to the board in the back. The screws there will relieve the weight of lockers so they don't deform due to not having a shim at the back.
You're doing well and it'll be fine. :)
Ok!! That helps to know this! Thank you!
I came here to say the same thing, but not I don't have to. :)
In your own words, you are impatient, determined and stubborn.
Those traits are what help you achieve all that you do. In that sense, they are qualities.
The other side of that coin is; those traits make it difficult to grant that one small person Grace.
Just an observation, never a judgement.
I appreciate and admire you and your videos.
Don’t ever think that they, or you, are anything less than wonderful.
Locker should be inside and secured to the wall for thermal conductivity at minimum. As long as your floor is stable and level it shouldn't need much to prevent it from tipping.
If the lockers are plumb, leave them plumb and try to plumb up the back wall. The locker doors will operate better if the lockers are plumb.
Locker wrestling! Who knew?
People always talk about how the Egyptians, Inca, Rapa Nui and Mayans built their structures (and many others). The proof is right here. If you have the drive and desire people can make anything happen. Michy moved lockers probably twice her weight with just ropes and off the shelf climbing gear and a whole lot of drive or passion. Not the safest decision but if you want something done....
I love you ; however I would screw the lockers to the wall not the floor.
Have you ever thought of wearing crampons when you are on the icy slope?
I have a pair now (sort of crampons)
fyi a must do - Mitchgoss Merch shirts "it is what it is" you'll sell thousands 😂 hope you got those kisses and cuddles you needed , stay strong , your doing really well considering the terrain and environment , best wishes from sunny Qld Australia 🤔
I'm not clear on why the lockers need to fit tight to the wall. Just for securing? Couldn't you just shim and add some trim to cover gaps, either at the floor or along the walls?
BTW, when you look up 'stubborn' in the dictionary, it's says 'see Michy'.
Because I’m not building this cabin in any proper way, I was trying/hoping I could use the lockers and their strength as a structural component to the back wall, as well as a stand alone aesthetic feature of the cabin.
You are going to injure yourself, never stand ahead of a very heavy object that could fall on you. Think in geometry terms and use geometry to figure out how to move an object safely. Think safety. Build a sled and tie it to those lockers. Then use your ropes to belay it down the slope with you out of the way. I always use devices to make these things safer to do. Use a plumb bob on the vertical, it will tell you if the lockers are out. My guess is the horizontal 2x is bowed. Full marks for your attitude, l admire it so much.
I tried to stay above the lockers but they kept digging into the snow and wouldn’t move. I had no choice but to guide them down.
@@michygoss7148 thus build a sled out of 4x4's, taper the fronts of them just like a skid. Even attach longer 2x4's to the front angle to gain a height advantage in comparison to that snow and ice. Takes little time but gives you the advantage over the lockers etc.. You are now in a much safer position and can belay them down. You could make a couple and store them for future use. As l age l can no longer lift the things l used to just pickup and carry. Now l use things to work to my advantage. A heavy duty flat dolly to roll heavier items onto my truck using ramps. The list goes on. I walk things along using the corners and twisting the item from corner to corner. Slower but easier and the end result is the same. I get what l want into place. A little tip on squaring corners, use the 3,4,5 method. In the corner measure 3’ one way then four feet the other. If the connecting distance from those two points is five feet you are square. Keep up the good work you are doing great. Kudos to you.
Re: Lockers…can’t you just mount it to the wall when you get the wall completed? It would only require 3-6 screws at the top/back only…and not mounting them to the floor at all.
And before that I would slide the lockers to one side, put the flooring down up to the lockers then slide it up on the new floor.
nice job of splitting that log... it's getting there, keep your spirits up and keep moving forward.. a little at a time and eventually it'll get done..
I think you're allowed to have a crummy day. We all do.
@ 2:55 uhuh ! Sketchy Girl.
Nothing sketchy about this operation AT ALL. 😂
