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)
Seriously, you can't be old enough to know that song! Even though my kids have watched the movie, I've never heard them sing or quote from it.
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!
You did a great job 😂😂
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!
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.

Hey Beautiful Always looking Great. Enjoy your Property!!!!!
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.
Excited to see the flooring and woodstove backing tie everything together. Best wishes my friend
Meeee toooooo!!!! Thank you, and same to you guys!! 💝
A library ladder.
Hello from Brunswick, Maine, US. I was hatched in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1952,
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.
yes the ladder looks great Michy
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. 👍🏻
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.
The cabin is really getting crowded and cozy
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.
Lucky for u - Steve is an Engineer !!!
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 😅
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.
M: Just a bit of humor: "This is my step ladder. I never knew my real ladder." Hank in SC.
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)!!
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.
I think the ladder looks Great
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. ❤
You crack me up 🤣. You’re seriously beautiful and I love your dogs 🥰👍
You should not falling down when you sleep too LOL.... 😻 You must show me the stars wow...
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 😊
You look so good in the back seat of the car ❤
Those are some reallly nice Levi's.
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 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. :)
Thanks for another cool video!🐾🍺
Your ladder looks really cool. Great job 👏 😊
Yes your drone shots are alway cool , I love that type of footage !
Yes you have possibles on the other site from what I see and the view is amazing !
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 ;-)
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.
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.
What beautiful views! Beautiful place !
Love it! Professional! Satisfying!
Break! Open! Bottle of wine! Dancing! Great day!
Love them Nilsson tune reference.
Growing up, my mom used those exact storage tins. I had forgotten about them. Great video..Very cool cabin and absolutely love the loft.. Peace
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 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.
You are awesomely awesome. Thanks for
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.
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 !
Awesome view from the cabin thank for sharing
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.
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.
I just discovered your channel last week and been binge watching all week! You are amazing and love your content! A friend of mine has the same saw mill as you do and we mill lots of slabs and lumber for various projects! You inspire us to do more! Love the cliff cabin Michelle!
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
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. 👍😎🇨🇦💜🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💙
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!
Yes, it’s definitely been talked about! There are some solid improvements that need to be done for that whole system.
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!!😃
No wonder you are so slim and trim. Great to see you are very active and a problem solver. Not much snow over in here in the Arrowhead of MN either. Be safe!
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.
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.
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 UA-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...
Try pivoting the ladder from the right side stringer only, which would store the ladder parallel to the loft with the runs verticle.
@17:30 Wow!!! I could sit there all day just taking it all in.
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Michelle .
Kind regards, Hollandduck
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.
That is the best view from a bed I have ever seen.
I know!!! ❤
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.
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. 🙂👍🏻
I’m not sure it will be resting on the loft, so I’m leaving it until I know how I’m completing it 👍
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.
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.”
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
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❤👍🏼😊🇺🇸🇨🇦🥃
As long as she doesn’t fall asleep and roll over the side!
Why would you like’ this comment. Secure your deck!
@@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!
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
Me gusta! Congratulations. Saludos desde Chiapas, México.
awesome view from the bed
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….
Crazy Canadian winter we are all having, even here in Ontario. All your hard work has paid off nicely WTG
@Michygoss1 Looks like a scam
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..😊
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 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.
The fan is cool. Missing Klosterfrau Melissengeist 😂
What an amazing view you have. Totally awesome. Maybe you could get some trail camera up and catch who stole your stuff.
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...
Building a little village on the hill side would be fantastic. A great way to share this beautiful place, without overbuilding.
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.
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.
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.
Tough getting there, but the view is incredible.
Ok, wow, when you climbed up the ladder for the first time up into the loft... that view... just wow! amazing!
I love it a get away place you are lucky.
Every time I see lenny becoming more of a normal happy loved dog life is good.
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 ❤.
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
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.
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! 😊
Luna looking at the panorama, make me feel that she is an happy girl now ;)
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
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
Hope you enjoyed your first all nighter!! And as far the ladder goes I like it where you have it and since your not "living" out there I would think it's really not in the way. As heavy as it is I would think it would be a pain in the ars to move it all the time. It sure looks heavy and as beautiful as it is it's really a wonderful decorative piece! And next year you can put pine on it from the land for Christmas!!!
Must have had some mild weather, I see much of the snow has melted since your last video. I'm green with envy. What a stunning sleeping spot you have, and to wake up to that view. Oh my goodness! As someone else mentioned you could put the ladder verticle with a rail on the loft and wheels, but that would make your steps probably slopped to much forward, since you have them level when the ladder is leaning back. Awesome job!
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.
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
Michy, it's the year of the water dragon in Chinese astrology, a very good omen for the successful completion of Hillside Clifford 😂
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! 💝💝
