Oh, no matter how many times I watch your videos, I moan every time I hear you groan with your back pain. I hope, eventually, you will heal and your back pain will lessen. Your channel is at the top of my favorites. Best wishes, John...
I really appreciate and relate to the way you fearlessly over think things thru, with the (sub)conscious intent to make your efforts go the distance. A trademark of honesty...your corner stone.
Try using your drone as a reference point. From the cabin, fly out and place it in a hover above where you think the saw may have landed. Then hike down with the controller and try to get underneath it. Then send the drone back to its “Home” to land.
You really are a leg model. The only difference is that you don't focus on it and you don't get paid for it. My opinion is that the only view that is better is that breathtaking view of the lake and surrounding hills, WOW!!
Always enjoy these videos of Super Woman Michelle showing us what hard work can produce. As an asides as anyone noticed the beauty of the old stone retaining wall that supports the road. Those individual stones are HUGE and laid so beautifully well. I used to do stonemason work. It’s backbreaking stuff for sure. In case you are curious those holes randomly place in the lower wall are for drains and are called weep holes.
Hi Michele, the easiest thing would be to make a small fence below the cabin, mesh wire or something similar. It's more work, but then nothing can fall down the cliff.
Hi Michele… Man you’re working your as* off !!! That’s a lot of work for two people let alone yourself.. I’ll put in my two cents first on the back of the cabin you have the right idea dig that trench out and put rock in there and just get a corrugated piece of plastic pipe kind of like a French drain and cover it up. That’ll keep that water from building up against the side of your cabin. Second, can you put like a mesh net or maybe even a fence something simple and spread it long ways across the front of your cabin, that may catch anything that rolls down that hill. Save you a lot of time walking all the way down looking for it just an idea enjoyed your video and you look beautiful as always.❤
Maybe you need to have a tether line on your tools while you use them so they can't fall down the cliff. Just put a long rope on them and tie them to a tree so if they fall you can easily hoist them back up. I can't believe how much work you get done on that steep slope and with a back injury! Your cabin is going to be epic!
Could you rig a net weaved through the trees near the bottom of the cliff face to stop tumbling gear. Even that cheap plastic orange orange stuff on rolls?
You need to make a few low dams, no more than 6" high, sloping down hill. It would resemble the track a tractor tire would make. That would divert the water around the cabin. Finish the cabin first. Build the deck after.
Michelle great show. one idea for your power tools, glue or duck tape Apple Airpods to them if they fall off the ledge. u can locate them. or teather your power tools to a line and the area your working in. Cabin looks great..
Wow Michelle it is no wonder your in such great shape that is a lot of work. No need to go to the gym your life is a gym. Be careful with your back if you hurt it you will be severely limited. I did something to mine once and it took about 6 months to get it back to normal.
Perhaps put that yellow rope I see up top, tie it to the cabin about the middle & use it to go down in a strait line & it may help find the saw, also later keep them tools tied to the saws so they don't fall too far. Also put an antenna on top of the shed so you know where it is when you are out of sight of the shed when you are down & out of sight of it.
Trying to think of things to write that don’t sound patronising, all I can say I guess is I’m in awe of your energy, work ethic, and positivity. I salute you! You are awesome. I hope your tail bone heals up quick. Hello from the Britain 🇬🇧
It pained me too watch you suffering with your back. You are in fantastic shape...I was a cycling coach and I recognize your strengths. Nothing like bushwacking with a bad back. You might have to put trackers on your tools like you do with your pooch...lol. Be well. Heal up. Stay safe.
something i saw someone do on youtube was wrap your tools with pink duct tape. put it on the handle. it shows up really well. nothing in nature is pink. they're much easier to find when you cant remember where you put them or lose them.
Zip line need retensioning? It's a clever way of moving stuff down the slope. Filling a runoff trough with even large stones will slow down the running water, limiting erosion, but also making it drop suspended material. The result will be filling the spaces with soil and organic material, and rendering the trough useless. Lining the trough (but filling it) with stones will keep the water fast, limit scouring and filling with debris. Delaying the deck seems prudent.
It’s great to see you back at your mountain cabin ! You look like you are still not moving around as good as you would like to be ! Injuries take time to heal , you are doing well though ! Please be careful up there !
Got off to a bit of a rough start at the cliff. I'd atleast finish half way up the back wall before the deck. It would be a good idea to put tin in the tech you dug then fill in with gravel for drainage to channel any water around the sides of the cabin instead of under it. And chance you could use the drone to find the saw or tie off a climbing rope and rappel down the same path the saw took? Don't over do it now with your back. Stay safe.
I sympathize with trying to keep things going while injured. I'm 2 weeks from hernia surgery and have been trying to get a lot done before I am laid up. I'm not looking forward to being idle in the month of August with so many summer projects pending. Glad to see you are back down at the cabin.
Your tenacity is just incredible. Extremely hard work and your doing it mostly alone. Watching you figure out solutions to something that’s not easy is a very special attribute you have. Bravo to you and your special projects. Take it easy and don’t get yourself in a bind. You’re a special woman with an incredible array of skills😅
Thank you! I’m feeling vulnerable because of my ‘lack of organization’ and working hard but getting nowhere show. It’s hard to show all aspects of the reality of this build, especially when it’s a small percentage of my life in the grand scheme of things. (I wish I had more time to spend on it, both mentally and physically). What do I take away from this? The next cabin build is going to be at our home property! 😂
Just a thought when your lower material down on your pulley system if you attached a second rope at the end of your material with a simple clip onto your main line it would help keep it straight going down
So glad to see you are very much mobile. Pain is a bummer, but will pass (think that is a slight joke in English?). You are so effing great! That about sums it up.
Try tying a long rope around the handles of your tools so you can still maneuver them around but if and when they take a dive off the cliff you'll be able to get them back.
Three things: 1. The best thing that can happen to a Ryobi Saw, throw it over a cliff! 2. Advil LiquaGels work the best. 3. You put in more work in one day than some of my entire crews have. 😐 Always impressive!
Super glue an Apple AirTag on your tools, in a place that would not be in the way, so you can get directional information that would at least lead you to a smaller general area to look. You an also trigger a beeper on the to help further. Just an idea.
Maybe finish the drainage channel and back wall, mark off where the wall studs are then you can place your deck joists on top of a ledger board or use joist hangers with the ledger board. Cheers ❤ 🇨🇦
Love your ambition, you should put some signs up downhill of the cabin to orient yourself when things fall down. Keep up all your hard work but safety first. Here's rooting for you
You can make a concrete slab in the back wall with concrete blocks between the deck and wall to prevent the dirt falling down underneath the cabin and the water would have some where to go just a thought
Hope you are feeling better. Sore back is hard to do strenuous work. Good job moving insulation and boards down hill. Such steep terrain. Bummer about saw. Hopefully you find it. Maybe a channel drain or French drain behind back wall to move rain run off out to the side and gravel on top. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
If the saw going down the cliff isn't a metaphor for how we've all felt defeated beyond recovery, then I don't know what is! We've all had the saw down the cliff moment at one point or another. I have had that same look many times. I greatly appreciate how you handled it. I think lesser versions of us would have found a way to push the whole cabin down the cliff in frustration.
Great show! So much work you have to do,to get the cabin finished. If I lived near you I would b at your doorstep to give you a hand! You are such a hardworking woman. You will enjoy your place when you get it done. What a great endeavor on your part!!!
Happy to see you. I can see your tailbone still is being a pain. Your moving the camera to fast for us to point out where the saw is. Lol. You will get back in the groove and get your game plan going again. Thanks for sharing. Your a one of a kind a unicorn
I suggest a french drain pipe and some small rock. A note about tying any load of more than one piece. Make an extra loop around the load. This will cinch up on the items if anything tries to shift. Simply going under and connecting on top can allow pieces to slide out of the middle. This can be critical if you are ever tying a load on top of your vehicle. Been there done that, once a long time ago. I had some pipe loaded, and when I had to hit the brakes a couple of them came all the way out of the middle and almost hit the vehicle in front of me. Lesson learned. Should have listened to my Dad.
Great video, as I watched you search for your saw I realized you’re like me when it comes to having to find things before you can move on. To that point, I would recommend a tag line on all of you tools (parachute cord works well), tie them all off to a tree while in use so you can pull them back up if dropped. Hope this helps, keep up the good work.
So sorry you lost yourself, at least so far. Have you thought of putting some type of temporary wire fence just down the hill from the front of the cabin to stop any dropped items. Thank you for another fun video.
You are so pretty, active and talented, I have not been keeping up to date on your trip to the orient, I know it must have been a trip you both will never forget. You must be tired from the trip. Keep doing what makes you happy. I enjoy watching your video's very much, keep them coming. Item keep falling off the cliff, as long as it's not you, I guess it's okay.
@Michygoss A small construction/containment fence just below the cabin would work as a catch for anything trying to leave the premisses. A little 1-2 ft fence.. alot of const sites have them to contain trash n environmental stuff. You could make it from stakes, housewrap, and staples... or an old tarp. No more chasing things down the hill.
You should definitely protect the base of the house from damp dirt, snow and water running down the mountain. Either with the roof tin or some heavy plastic sheet. I would let it go 10-20 cm up behind the siding to. Fill the trench with stone/gravel if needed. Great work. Maybe time to put a airtag on your tools 😂
@Michygoss you do know depending on how bad you bruised your tail bone you'll probably feel it until your older years. I bruised mine as a kid and had to sit on a donut. All i know is i still have pain and its never been right as it was. Bruising the tailbone is no joke. Cant wait to see that finished cabin.
OMG , all that Landry and all the dog beds are made! I swear Michelle, you work five times harder then any women I know. You have the maintenance of your main house, your house on the lake plus your care giving of your animals. Now get this, animals are just like children, except they don't live as long, so the full fillment of life is short but extremely fullfilling under your care. I look into those blue/gray eyes and I wonder, does this soul have a limit? The mould was broken when they made you Michelle. Take the time to care for your tailbone Michelle, we trully understand! And note, I didn't even mention your build project's.
Just love watching you building that cabin ! What a view you have, it’s amazing. You are quite the worker I must say and a pretty accomplished builder 👍🏻
Great work M. You are such a grafter, really admirable how stuck in you get to to manual labour. I realise how far along you are and how much stuff you don't need to get down to the cabin. But I had a thought. Is it possible to build a tower type structure at the top end of the rope system to allow you to put stuff straight onto it from the road. Save your back a huge amount. Also I just wish I was there doing that work in that incredible place. Apologies if the suggestion seems stupid, in anyway 😊
You circular saw would have pobably been significantly damaged in tumbling down the cliff. At least, the "Shoe" or "Foot" plate would have been bent. Had you found the saw, it most likely would have been unusable, and most likely unrepairable. Also, you have several comments good about spay painting your power and hand tools. Pick a Shocking Pink. **** Second, @danieloliver20 suggested a French Drain to carry off the rain water. Lots of work, but an excellent suggestion. **** Third, think about building you deck extension without attaching it directly to the Cliff House. **** Fourth, your foam insulation would be most effective and last decades longer installed inside the walls of the Cliff House. Installed outside of the protective Tyvek it will be subect to degradation by moisture when it freezes and thaws. **** Lastly, I can't wait to see you next video.
Welcome back to your love, I know you were getting discouraged before you left for China, now I can see your recharged and ready to get going again! Ole fart from Alabama
If you put a pulley on your cable with your rope system, that way you have one pulley in the front, and then one in the back that keeps them from going down the hill fast that way you can lift it up and they will go down in one direction and not bang around on trees and stuff
We’ve sort of tried that before but it still didn’t work that great. I’m sure it CAN work well, but we just don’t have the time to execute and sort out every detail that could be improved.
If a tree falls in the woods does it...land on the sky mule....of course it does Your a climber; rappel in that location and use what I'd call a chicane or a rope wrench for the climb back up. Again, as always because I get it. The struggle is real but, your perserverance is honorable
Sorry your butt still hurts and you lost your saw! You make the bigger one look good though! That green team really needs to sponsor you! If I were doing a quick and dirty drainage trough for a cabin, I would probably trench in a couple sections of gutter...level, backfill them on the high side, and pin landscaping fabric coming down the hill laying over into them. It might take a season for it to settle into an actual runoff, but it would be cheap and should last a while.
Hello Michelle - I broke my back on June 27. I went on, business as usual until June 30 when I finally realized I was hurt worse than I thought and could not ignore it. 9 hours in ER to confirm very bad compression fracture at L4. Followed by surgery 13 days later. I hope you got yourself checked for broken bones, tail bone or vertebra. Don't try to be a hero, Ibuprofen is not the answer. Also, I broke my tailbone as a small boy (age 10) and it bothered me for 15 years or so. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona
Hi; simple suggestion buy tools that are bright orange an attach them to you with a lanyard you are building an amassing cliff side retreat remember we love YOU not your work you are an inspiration to me and many others I am shure❤
I wish you had rails up on your deck? If you would ever trip and go over the the side it would most likely be the end of you and your cabin! Please be extremely careful especially out on the front deck

Lanyard your tools to a framing member on the deck. Similar to an arborist or roofer.

The back deck, yes. But I need another side deck to help me complete the cabin, so I will direct my focus to that one instead.
An Idea Michelle, is to use a type of construction fence that is made of material, by staking it in below to catch your tools. Just be careful 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Michelle great show. one idea for your power tools, glue or duck tape Apple Airpods to them if they fall off the ledge. u can locate them. or teather your power tools to a line and the area your working in. Cabin looks great..
And With All That Pain! You Do This! Your Amazing!
Love what you're doing watch it all the time

You are gorgeous and strong🤩 you will be back to your old self in no time!
I tried to make a video of me just changing my brush hog blade today and it was such a pain. You are a pro and we love watching the progress.
Changing the blade? Or making the video? You can do it!!
@@michygoss7148 the video lol. it takes so much extra time. And bleeping out the cuss words.
Perhaps put that yellow rope I see up top, tie it to the cabin about the middle & use it to go down in a strait line & it may help find the saw, also later keep them tools tied to the saws so they don't fall too far. Also put an antenna on top of the shed so you know where it is when you are out of sight of the shed when you are down & out of sight of it.
Great effort - wow - hoping you find the equipment down in the scrub
Hey Michele, to prevent more saws (and other stuff) to fall down the cliff, maybe you could instal some sort of safety net on the cliff. Cheers.
Oh you're kidding me with that downed tree! Holy Heck

Well said, my thoughts exactly, hope the pain eases up soon Michelle.
It pained me too watch you suffering with your back. You are in fantastic shape...I was a cycling coach and I recognize your strengths. Nothing like bushwacking with a bad back.
You might have to put trackers on your tools like you do with your pooch...lol.

Running a piece of perf pipe along that back section to channel the ground water away from the cabin would be good
So much work !!! I'm exhausted!!! Wonderful to see you back at the cabin!!!!❤
Maybe finish the drainage channel and back wall, mark off where the wall studs are then you can place your deck joists on top of a ledger board or use joist hangers with the ledger board. Cheers ❤ 🇨🇦
A drone would sure come in handy for finding such things sometimes.
Nice work. Rock & a piece of perforated pipe French drain might be helpful
I would use a french drain behind your cabin. Trench along the sides so the water has a direct path away from your cabin. I really enjoy your videos.
Nylon catch fence for your run aways, and or GPS locators. Good luck
Love your ambition, you should put some signs up downhill of the cabin to orient yourself when things fall down. Keep up all your hard work but safety first. Here's rooting for you
you're a great builder 🎉
Buy a roll of flourescent marking tape attach at top throw down, go down throw again leave year round for a fall marker to judge where it went?
You can make a concrete slab in the back wall with concrete blocks between the deck and wall to prevent the dirt falling down underneath the cabin and the water would have some where to go just a thought
It’s getting the water and bags of cement there that are the problem for that idea.
Hope you are feeling better. Sore back is hard to do strenuous work. Good job moving insulation and boards down hill. Such steep terrain. Bummer about saw. Hopefully you find it.

Hi Michelle, I had pain in my lower back and got rid of it using Kirkman Original Epsom Salt Cream. It works surprisingly well.🌹
@Michygoss A small construction/containment fence just below the cabin would work as a catch for anything trying to leave the premisses. A little 1-2 ft fence.. alot of const sites have them to contain trash n environmental stuff. You could make it from stakes, housewrap, and staples... or an old tarp.

Also Michelle, one solution to being out of reach with a hand saw is tape the saw to a long pole.
Nice Work👍
You should definitely protect the base of the house from damp dirt, snow and water running down the mountain. Either with the roof tin or some heavy plastic sheet. I would let it go 10-20 cm up behind the siding to. Fill the trench with stone/gravel if needed. Great work. Maybe time to put a airtag on your tools 😂

Take the time to care for your tailbone Michelle, we trully understand!
And note, I didn't even mention your build project's.
Berry-powered
Super respect.
oops too tired
Need to get her to 100k to show how much we appreciate her efforts into bring her life into ours
3k more to go!!
Woot woot! Thanks everyone! ❤
Just love watching you building that cabin ! What a view you have, it’s amazing. You are quite the worker I must say and a pretty accomplished builder 👍🏻
Great work M. You are such a grafter, really admirable how stuck in you get to to manual labour. I realise how far along you are and how much stuff you don't need to get down to the cabin. But I had a thought. Is it possible to build a tower type structure at the top end of the rope system to allow you to put stuff straight onto it from the road. Save your back a huge amount. Also I just wish I was there doing that work in that incredible place. Apologies if the suggestion seems stupid, in anyway 😊
You circular saw would have pobably been significantly damaged in tumbling down the cliff. At least, the "Shoe" or "Foot" plate would have been bent. Had you found the saw, it most likely would have been unusable, and most likely unrepairable. Also, you have several comments good about spay painting your power and hand tools. Pick a Shocking Pink.

Second, @danieloliver20 suggested a French Drain to carry off the rain water. Lots of work, but an excellent suggestion.

Third, think about building you deck extension without attaching it directly to the Cliff House.
****
Fourth, your foam insulation would be most effective and last decades longer installed inside the walls of the Cliff House. Installed outside of the protective Tyvek it will be subect to degradation by moisture when it freezes and thaws.

Lastly, I can't wait to see you next video.
Welcome back to your love, I know you were getting discouraged before you left for China, now I can see your recharged and ready to get going again! Ole fart from Alabama
Un petit coup de main 😊😊
Michelle really sorry you couldn't find your saw. The wonder woman cape may have helped. But could the drone help? Keep up the good work.
Great video! Thank you!🐾🌻🍺
If you put a pulley on your cable with your rope system, that way you have one pulley in the front, and then one in the back that keeps them from going down the hill fast that way you can lift it up and they will go down in one direction and not bang around on trees and stuff
We’ve sort of tried that before but it still didn’t work that great. I’m sure it CAN work well, but we just don’t have the time to execute and sort out every detail that could be improved.
Work smarter not harder!
Get the back into the coldest water you can find.. the hoffer in you will get the healing cranked.
Bummer that you hurt your back and lifting all those boards to the small cabin. 😢
If a tree falls in the woods does it...land on the sky mule....of course it does
Your a climber; rappel in that location and use what I'd call a chicane or a rope wrench for the climb back up. Again, as always because I get it. The struggle is real but, your perserverance is honorable
Sorry your butt still hurts and you lost your saw! You make the bigger one look good though! That green team really needs to sponsor you!
If I were doing a quick and dirty drainage trough for a cabin, I would probably trench in a couple sections of gutter...level, backfill them on the high side, and pin landscaping fabric coming down the hill laying over into them. It might take a season for it to settle into an actual runoff, but it would be cheap and should last a while.
Wow Michelle, they dont make em like you anymore, girl, you're one tough lady, cute too
a cheap silt fence will stop your falling tools from going all the way down the cliff. Be sure to stake the bottom of the fence.
Hello Michelle - I broke my back on June 27. I went on, business as usual until June 30 when I finally realized I was hurt worse than I thought and could not ignore it. 9 hours in ER to confirm very bad compression fracture at L4. Followed by surgery 13 days later. I hope you got yourself checked for broken bones, tail bone or vertebra. Don't try to be a hero, Ibuprofen is not the answer. Also, I broke my tailbone as a small boy (age 10) and it bothered me for 15 years or so. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona
Thanks Randy. I’d say I’m 90% healed now, so really don’t think it’s broken. I got lucky! Sorry to hear about your fracture and subsequent surgery!
Hi; simple suggestion buy tools that are bright orange an attach them to you with a lanyard you are building an amassing cliff side retreat remember we love YOU not your work you are an inspiration to me and many others I am shure❤
Spray paint them pink or orange
I wonder if a safety net would be a good idea?
Beautiful job by a beautiful lady ❤❤❤❤
welcome back to the cliff cabin sis
I wish you had rails up on your deck? If you would ever trip and go over the the side it would most likely be the end of you and your cabin! Please be extremely careful especially out on the front deck
