You are absolutely correct I agree 100% we are a strong country and we will get through this. In the mean time please try to keep doing what you're doing and to everyone else try to be kind to one another.
Be well stay strong.
Kathy and I wish the best to the both of you and your family especially during this period of uncertainty. We get a huge kick out of your videos! We appreciate you sharing a part of your lives with us.
100% agree, it's going to be ok. In the mean time, I'm doing the same as you guys! Kitchen, basement, garage, it's all getting organized! Stay safe!
Years ago when putting cedar siding on a shed I was told to nail or screw one side of the board. Leave a small gap between the boards 1/2 inch then screw small strip 2-3 inches over the two boards with longer screws not in the first boards. This will hold both boards down. This will help with expansion & contraction it will also help or eliminate board splitting.
You guys are awesome I love you videos 👍👍👍👍
Mike and Melissa I 100% agree with you guys. America is a very strong country and we will succeed in beating this virus. I am also taking this time to spend valuable time with the kids and show them some things that they won't learn in school. This is time to get back to are roots! Keep up the good work!
old farmers tale. cut the bottom of the siding at a bevel so the water drips' off and doesn't migrate around the bottom. great videos Dave
You are the man! I am going to use this more than once I feel like.
And just so I have this right... the "meat" of the bevel should be flush on the exterior and then cutting up and in towards the interior? Thanks man
@@patrickofiara2157 i think you have it correct
Oh my word... hair up and wearing holy jeans....
America relax and watch and binge on the Morgans. Do this and you too will feel in your hearts and eyes being blessed.
Just another Melissa fan. Mike your blessed and my hero!
I’m a little surprised that you are not leaving a gap between the siding boards to allow air flow for lumber drying. I enjoy the videos every morning.
We are considering this a reset on life. Not one we wanted for sure. Be safe Morgan’s. Always enjoy looking into your projects.
Spot on, guys! Taking advantage of this time is the best approach. Enjoy the family!
That's the plan!
Thanks fir the great advice and calming words!
Melissa and Mike Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the shed progress. Having worked with the 'Hunters' in an educational setting for close to 30yrs I can empathize with the difficulties they and their caretakers/families experience when there's routine change. Hang in there Hunter it will get better👍
Me too. I really worry we will lose half a year if they decide to keep the schools closed through the summer.
As someone else said finally something I am good at---social distancing. You folks stay healthy and safe.
SAME HERE! My Darling Anna has improved my WHOLE LIFE 500% She keeps on me about my Health. We have always (15 Yrs+) Kept a Over supply of non Perishable food Items . We now have built up our other food needs to a Decent level for us. Its just wait and see now.
Melissa's jean are a sign that she's saving every penny for that pool!
"Just Stylin"
Nice birds beak on the rafters. You are a carpenter Mike and Melissa makes a great Foreman.
Yea I have 3 kids 12, 9 , 7 , we have created chores for them and have also told them they may have to grow up a little faster through this time and learn new things here at home and come together as a family , eventually things will get back to normal and I think this will give them a new appreciation of the great country we live in !
Its awesome that you guys work together
best of Spring to you folks! Hunter especially, God bless, love your video's!
God bless you all!
Awesome, thank you. Love your channel.
the past ten years(living alone) has prepared me for this self imposed quarantine
30 years alone for me, I am good at it too, being near deaf helped too, I just get tired of people looking at me like I am stupid, dumb because I do not always understand what they said, been on ''social quarantine'' for near 40 years.
@@benscoles5085 Mr Ben Scoles! Good day Brother. I'll tell ya whut I think is a Damned shame, you having kept all o' Your, particular, hard-won Wisdom to yer Self, because 'people' were and ARE too stupid to 'allow' you to freely GIVE it.
I Love you Brother, and I thank you for being like 'at "Stalwart Tin Soldier", Still Standing in SPITE o' all the stupidity.

You are right we have to stay positive and keep the good work and have a good day
We can do this as a whole, individually. It probably would have been a lot harder without the internet, and the ability to reach out to each other via video and get through it with grace and appreciation for those we love. A time will come again when we wished we could spend so much time together and it will be sooner than we think. Thanks for the same thought process of just get on with getting on!
Solid handclap,
Nice woodshed.
I think the next month is gonna be rough.
I found the best way to get people to calm down is to be very calm yourself, they in turn will adopt and reflect your attitude.
Well Said, I agree, and all the hype on TV just adds to the frenzy.
Mike, from an old barn builder, one nail or screw in the center of green sidin. It' will shrink and two nails or screws will cause splits at one or both of the nails. Leave a quarter inch gap between each board and add a one by two or three as a batten over each gap with one screw between the boards with the screw going in the gap. Leave the batten a little loose so each board can shrink and slide under the batten.
Love your channel and usually watch on the smart TV. JOHN
Wooooodsheddd!!! Yahooo!! Keep being the bright spot in our day Morgan Family!!!
What a great glass half full video. Mike I hope you have the roofing as you will need it soon. Take care
Wise words Mike, wise words!
I am just enjoying watching your videos.

FAITH IN GOD , FAMILY, FRIENDS , NEIGHBORS, COUNTRY... Sometimes in life there comes a mountain we have to climb that we need each other to get to the top ,, but along the way we need to appreciate each other and the view of how Blessed we really truly are.. I am going to binge watch outdoors with the morgans..........
We’ve got supplies, Faith, and hope! That’s all we need! 🙏🏻💗👍😉
Pine is great to work with. The shrinkage is very minimal. Warping is very rare.
Thanks Morgan's
Siding Looks Good!!👌👊
Very true Mike everybody need to not over react. This will pass it bring back family together more witch forces people stop and think. Maybe people who can learn to grow your own pick up canning for the future. Who knows the key is remain calm and enjoy the outdoors with the Morgan’s be safe.
Hey Milisa I got a lotta jeans like that! I notice that the pups are never too far from their favorite person.Gotta luv GOLdens!
And all of the sudden, I'm motivated to get stuff done around here. Thanks
Amen on being a strong country
The green line will shrink a little !! Love what you do !! Keep it up !!!
Another night Outdoors with the Morgans. I think Mike should have warned you about that clamp!🤣
I shared a FB post the other day about school closure. Take the time to teach your kids REAL stuff -- painting a room, changing a flat tire, cooking, being kind and respectful, etc. etc. Loved it.
I know the owner of the local small-town hardware store and he was saying he's sold more housepaint and gardening supplies in the last few days than he's sold in the last couple of years! You're not alone!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
hey mike and melissa, Nice to see you guys address the situation like this! hell of a good way to look at it, unfortunately for myself in ontario canada we still have 2' of snow in the back yard or my new shed would be started too. by the end of the week mike may even have a couple new shooting videos (hopefully), those are always a good treat!
take it easy guys, hang in there!
*When I left the military, I built a hotel in Belize by the airport just outside a British army base. I wanted to build an attached outside bar about 4k sq ft with a rustic look with lumber. There is no softwoods to speak of so it was only mahogany. All the construction was with green lumber as you can't get a nail through it when dry. The outside walls were board and batten to compensate for the massive shrinkage. That method handled monsoon season just fine.*
@Sailor on the Seas of Fate I guess guitar-maker heads would explode to hear the 30' x 3' bar itself was made of 9/4 rosewood planks. :)
When did you have your hotel in Belize?
@@buzzwor I started construction in 1986, opened the doors in '87 and sold my interest in the business in 1990. ( Most of my customers were the British Forces and their deployment to Belize after decades, was about to end.)
@Sailor on the Seas of Fate Then maybe you're friends should look to that area of the world to source the timber they need. It wasn't a major export when I was there so with little demand, the cost was low. Just as those shipwrights that need live oak turn to the southern US states.
Well steve I was probaly one of your customers having had 3 tours in Belize 2 in APC and one down in San ignacio, Belfast camp. From 86 through to 89. Remember the golden rum fondly. Although never really got to grips with the Belikan.
Yup time for family
At least there is no more Bloomberg adds! Getting better everyday !
That siding is gonna look good. And in trying times like this, never forget the power of 🙏 prayer. Say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Mike and Melissa for the words of encouragement.
We have been through a lot of bad but only because we have taken it seriously definitely not a time to go on vacation .I agree with you on what you are doing.
Central California watching
WOW, your videos just get better and better and better !!! Your camera angles, the Music, the projects.... THANK YOU Mike and Melissa...
Great advice guys!👍👍
I’m like you work don’t stop for me. I’m a truck driver so we still rolling!
Thanks again for the morning fix. Always a great way to start the day, your videos are like an extra spoonful of sugar in my coffee. Dont tell Hunter, BK drive up windows are still open. Take care and be safe as always. :)
I have built a cross cut table that I lay my lumber on to be cut to square the ends. It’s pretty much just a big set if sawhorses with a chainsaw fastened to one end that pivots to make the cut
Ah, finally something I'm good at... social distancing!
Introverts Unite. or some thing like that!,
CP Topher's I’m actually ahead of the curve....been doing that for several years.
I'm not anti social, I just don't like being around people.
Building coming along Mr. & Mrs. Morgan. Yes good advice just work around your own place , if nothing else should get something done , just have to wait til the snow melts ( 2 to 3 feet still in the bush ) or gets a good crust to walk on .... or play with grand kids and watch The Morgans all the best
From outdoors with the Morgans
Great video. Loved it. Take care and God Bless.
Since you aren’t using sheet goods (e.g., plywood, OSB) you should consider putting diagonal bracing in to stabilize and stiffen the structure. It would keep the structure square and plumb and help it resist wind loads.
Nice shed start, we are going to have to do the same soon as ours is 35yrs and falling down. You have some good tips here, thanks. Have yourselves a great day///
Thanks so much
I do try to spread the word. We had a conversation at work (Guy I built a custom after market big bore MS361 for) about the Wolf Ridge splitter and he told me " Ya, I watch the Morgans too".
I agree Mike and Mellisa just take it easy and reset for the next couple weeks. Stay home and chill 👍✊
You're right Mike! Getting things done around the Ranch ,! THAT I HAVE BEEN PUTTING OFF AND Dealing With The Situation! Got Plenty of Beer ! FOOD! And A Good Woman To Help,! Who could Ask 4 Anything More?
An ounce of prevention is better that a pound of cure. Stay strong and safe.
P.S. Day 10 Mike is on wood shed #5 and looking for more red pine for the sawmill.
Great advice.
Don't forget hurricane ties on each end of the rafters. And dip the siding ends in some preservative. Those ends will wick water spashing from rain in no time. If it was me, I would put that front overhange at least 24". It's so nice having that much more protection from wind blown rain. I have 2' overhangs on my covered front porch and I still get wet decking all the way to the house 12' in from that overhang. But it helps. Hey we are getting ready to put Alaskan Cedar down our our 100hr old farm house front porch that is 51' from end to end. The boards are 2" thick, 8" wide and 20' long. Taking them to a mill in a week to get resawn into 1" thick. The joists are 14" on center to help with the thinner boards. I have 10,000lbs of boards in my garage waiting to get used.
Mike you are correct, just chill out and learn skills at home. I am home every day being disabled and I do not like being around a lot of people. I loved going to the woods. It was a way to just relax and remember what we should be. Thanks for another great morning. God bless.
Glad I found your channel.
Melissa and the girls will have the woods chipped in no time. Stay Safe and Have A Day!
Your editing is getting better. Plus, we are seeing more Melissa. Good on you Mike.
Great message, guys!!! I am convinced we all will be better after this and begin to appreciate the simple things and just start taking a deep breath more often. Gratefully, that is the message you ALWAYS share with all of us.🙏
Another great video from the Morgans
Good morning Mike and Melissa, enjoyed your video this morning. 👍👍 ! The wood shed is looking good going to turn out really good and perfect for what you will be doing with it, sorry for the ramble on it’s looks😳🤗😊. You folks will handle this down time really well. Like you said, stay calm, slow down and enjoy the extra time together, look out for those near you. Trying to explain things to Hunter might take some creativity but you will get over this hurdle as you have before. I lost internet last night but I also have it through my TV so I can still have touch with the outside world. Keep up the good work and videos please, thanks for sharing. Fred
OLD DAWG
I’m Fred too!!!
Conventional education isn't always best.....what your kids will learn from you during this crisis will be such a blessing on you all! (spoken as a homeschooler :) ) And, cheers from another social distancer! This doesn't bum me out at all except I can't see the extended family and my bestie!
You are right, Take your kids hands and (Pray )
I think that the wood will be more likely to split in some cases where it is screwd the rafters might bow but if you run stringers between them use a little more than you usually do
Great attitude, does not mean you have to stay in the house all the time. We will survive this and be stronger as a country after it is over. Time to get to work
I really like the way you think Mike. Shed is looking nice
~ Peace be with You's and Stay Safe ~
Down to earth. Nothing better. Thank you for sharing your day
Having a cup of coffee with the Morgans.
I have watched shows about building in Alaska that use a saw mill like yours that cut the lumber they use right away for their building
Ann wanted me to tell you that we took your advice: We got out and did some work on the property yesterday; cutting a lot of wood and pulling grape vines down from out of the trees and hauling them up to the road for the town to take away. The trees have been down on the ground now for a couple of years and are rotten so not good for firewood or milling. That battery powered chain saw is amazing! Oh by the way, this has always worked for me: When in panic, when in doubt, run in circles scream and shout! Will you be putting battens over the siding joints? In two years the wood will have dried and shrunk opening that joint to at least a half inch. Ah now that you have more time at home can we expect more videos? Especially now that you have two more sets of hands to help out. Great video M&M, thumbs up.
All that green framing lumber should dry uniformly and not be a problem. Siding may end up with 1/4" spaces between boards, but that will provide ventilation and promote firewood drying. Maybe deck the roof with 1/2" CDX ply instead of something like OSB. Only thing I'd add as a possibility -- since you're running your siding vertically -- would be to install some diagonal, 2x4s between your posts (or nailed to/across the inside faces of the posts) at the rear to stiffen the structure against heavy winds. Maybe corner brace front posts, too. After that, shed seems like it'd survive a direct nuclear strike.
It's great to see someone with a overcome additude and as American people we will grow our lives. Loving additude is the magic.
Yes great advice Mike. Make hay when the sun shines, or in other words take advantage of the situation. The power goes out - you've got no internet or tv - so you get a good book out, or a jigsaw puzzle (one of the best time wasters I know), or catch up on cleaning the house. Its not so much what happens in this world, its your attitude towards it.
See - Melissa bangs her head - what does she do? She laughs it off. What a lovely lady...
Thank you Morgans for the thoughts, meanwhile, there was a tree in the pond pointed out by Melissa when she went walking. I look forward to watching it being pulled and later processed. Thanks again.
Make sure you keep some logs for Melissa to mill also. The girls will get 3x the work done than Mike can in the Evening.
Mike , when you put a wet wool shirt in the dryer what happens ? It shrinks ! So when wood shrinks would it be tighter around the nails or looser ? I've used green wood for every thing framing ! I had to take it apart , what a job . Just fasten it solid & no worries ! Rule of thumb 3 nails in a 1/6 , 4 in a 1/8 5 in a 1/10 6 in a 1/12 then it will not curl on the edges !
That back beam that will hold the roof load, use HeadLOKs instead of regular screws - they replace lag bolts.
I heard Alaska School's may try to start next week but its not official yet there thinking about it. hope it works for use up here. i guess will try. God bless to all hope all works out
You guys are great! Gotta love the positive attitude you both have. Does Hunter go out and help, like stacking wood. I remember one time you had said something like once he starts something he doesn’t stop until its done. If you and the ladies get started stacking, that pile would be done in no time.
Keep up the great videos. The Morgans and a cup of coffee, a great way to start the day!
He does.. but you are right! Once he gets started he doesn't want to stop till the job is finished!
What better way to spend your day then binge watching Outdoors with the Morgans!
With all those trees and your sawmill you can build a shop or anything you want that is nice I know I would make me a shop if I had all those resources.
You guys have a positive out look on the situation
As a carpenter and official arm chair quarterback I would have loved if you would have framed a beam along the back like you did the front for the rafters. Its not too late in the years to come youll be glad you fixed it.
Great video. Time to teach the kids how to do some of the things they don't teach in school, like balancing the checkbook, household maintenance, etc. Have a Day.
Mike, I like how you can custom cut dimensions of your lumber. Where can you buy 3 1/2x 9 inch beams, that is totally awesome!!!! So much enjoy watching your building projects!!!!
Good job!!! good morning from florina Greece
This being told to stay home and quarentine will spawn a whole new generation of kids all across the country.😉
i cant imagine the satisfaction of going out on my own property cutting down a tree milling it into lumber and building a building without having to rely on going to buy lumber. it must be very satisfying.
