If you are putting the pine on a wall, put black ground cover on wall first and then the pine boards. If the pine shrinks any, it won’t show plastic or insulation underneath. We did this in our camp and it turned out great!
Great idea, thanks
Does that mean we're going to watch the siding & skirting completed on the house before winter??
Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸. No Snow Just Breeze !
Can’t get over how the goats listen to you. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
They love us as much as we love them 💕💕💕
That wood 🪵 is going to look so awesome in the house 🏡. Was a lot of work, but will be worth it. You both rock. 👍
That little tractor did amazing. My Dad used to saw railroad ties for a living. Seeing the slabs brought back memories of the sound of the chainsaw and smell of the sawdust. You guys are doing awesome. What a beautiful home.
I love it when you take your goats out for walks with you guys they get so excited. They mind you very well too.
That wood is going to be beautiful inside your home I can’t wait to see it. Stay safe
God Bless🙏🏻
Either put a small log under the tree to roll it on to make pulling it up the hill out of the tangled brush easier, put the tractor as close as you can to pull it, make up a block and tackle pulley system to magnify your pulling power, or get an electric winch for your tractor.
The tractor is a game changer but be careful. So easy to break a leg or worse rolling those things around. I’m in northern Michigan and have been using my little kubota on our rural land for about ten years. I would suggest using the bucket and a chain to get logs out of tough places then turn around and pull with a chain. Use shorter chains. And weld or bolt a couple sturdy hooks to the top of the bucket. I had to take a nap after watching you vid😀
Just amazing. What a team. Katie you are spectacular and Greg always has a smile. Just admire you both SO MUCH!!
👵🏼🐶🇨🇦Ottawa
well done thumbs up everyone
I'm glad you're using the trees for lumber instead of firewood
That tractor handled those logs up the hill like NOTHING!! So sweet!! Also, I can’t wait to see all the wood finishing touches that you use it for inside your house. I built my daughter a play house in our backyard out of pallet wood and construction job site scraps, then used spar urethane over it to seal the wood from the heat. I’ll look you up on Instagram and send a pic of it! Love you both! ❤️
repurpose the logs great idea on wall...
You should look for a hay wagon frame and build a rack on it for logs to be moved.
Great day’s work! Y’all are definitely making progress. Stay safe out there.💯👍🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Whoa! That was an awesome undertaking!! Had me holding my breath a couple of times for sure but; I can’t wait to see this milled and in/on your house. Great job kids!!! 👵🏻❤️🙃
You folks work so hard… good job! One day your kids will be proud of you both!!!
Wow large trees.
Been reading the comments and agree that a grapple for the front or one on the back to pull would be a great investment. I follow another channel Walnuts and Wineberries and they are utilizing their compact tractor building a road and removing trees. Keep up the good work (thumbs up)
Those things are pretty expensive it's great having a tractor, but even the tractor loan was pretty expensive. Soon enough I will have lots of implements but for now we're going to have to do it this way
You guys cleaning up all at Deadwood for either brush to burn in the winter time or wood for the wood pile or for making your walls in your house it all goes to cleaning up your place enough to keep you safe from a forest fires...you need a heavier truck or a car trailer
Absolutely love the goats, they’re so funny.
You should get a grapple for your tractor. It would be so much easier to pick up those big tree trunks and move them.
Send them the money for a grapple!!!!
@@tonygrimes13 maybe you should. 😂
@@herbostenkamp8982 And what about you!!!!!!
@@tonygrimes13 I’m old, disabled and on a fixed income. I’m sure you have the means. I’m just suggesting a future purchase, if they continue to mill and cut wood for firewood like that.
That is quite the size logs that you managed to move close to the house! Congratulations on the successful moving of the logs! Better to move it as logs to the sawmill than moving the sawmill to the logs! I like the cooperation between you two as the one gives instructions, followed exactly by the second! Admirable! Now to see the large pine sawn into boards to be used to finish the interior! It will be “WOW”!
Wow the pattern on that 73 year old pine was beautiful, was the white stuff on the huge pine that fell some sap? the wood is going to look amazing in your home. What a wonderful opportunity to use the wood that has fallen on your property.
Yes, just sap from when it was cut
That biggest tree you found will be a good re-seeding tree. 🙂
Hello from Benalmádena Spain. Good video. Have you thought about investing in a wood chipper to process branches, small trees, and dead undergrowth? Wood chips could be used in your garden soil, and to reduce mud around your house...
Oh it's high on the list of priorities. Wood chips would be a game changer for us
That pine will look great! We have the beetle kill go through Colorado 14 or so years ago. Helped a friend do a tongue and groove wall room with it. Turned out beautiful!!
You two are the "Goat Whisperer's"... :):)
Beautiful logs. You will get some good lumber for the build out of those!
Leaving all the tree trash on the ground, in what is a forest, is fine. Dont waste fuel and energy. The sawlogs are important, but all else is just organics.
Nice Logs…great work ❗️
…I’am sure they will make some awesome wall siding !
Because drywall is so tiring that we would rather become loggers for a few days just to forget about it for a while… I’m with you. The fun part of drywall is primer and paint.
😂
You know Id make an over sized tobbagan out of wood for hauling large logs both winter and summer to keep them cleaner for milling also smooth trails or packing trails or roads. since its near the ground just roll the logs onto it no lifting.
Congrats on doing fulltime home steading.
That tree is huge
I just love your smiles as its honest great times that the two of you have captured on video to show the kids someday where and how, all the why this and thats... when we get a touch older and look back, its really comical to see just how far we gain in knowledge... great times kids
You need one of those plastic cones to keep your log from digging in.
I'm really enjoying your channel these days, and now with extra videos!
Huge tree!! Should be able to put it to good use👍Can’t believe how your Goats respond the way you want! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Have you seen the rubber/plastic sleds that you can hook to a vehicle/tractor and pull it.
Y'all make a good team.
smart very smart guys mill your own lumber
Amazing work. I was on the edge of my seat. Great job!
Silver oak tree. Best wood.
Great job great video thankyou for sharing here from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️😎
I'm impressed by what you two have accomplished. It's amazing what you can do as a team. I was wondering if you've considered a grappler attachment for the tractor. It seems you would be able to move more logs and with much more ease. With all the trees/logs you'll be moving, it may be a worthwhile investment. Just a thought.
Some day, it would make good sense to have out here. The cost is pretty big for one
I hope your husband realizes how lucky he is, you're beautiful and hard working at the same time!!!
Looking forward to the milling.
Kind regards Christiaan
WELL THAT WAS FUN I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT YOUR ABLE TO USE SOME BIG TREES FOR YOUR HOUSE VERY KEWL👍😉
It's all about teamwork and you two make a good team!
Can't wait to see the wood on the walls
Ceilings!
Awesome, building with downed trees
Great video
I understand the hate off drywall👍🏼🤪
Great show . you will be happy to weld a chain hook to the center of the bucket it will help on so many things. i like more shows in the week thankyou as always have a nice day bob from muskegon mi,
7:13 in video be extra careful using that log turning tool (log Cant) as Greg just ran over it with the tractor
That was heavy work. the wood is going to look awesome especially if it is polished up
I’ve been wondering if y’all still had the mill this will be fun to watch .
Are you still enjoying going full time UA-cam?
Loving it! But doesn't feel like I'm less busy than I was when I was working as well 😅
@@ThisOffGridLife at least your doing what you love to do
@@ThisOffGridLife Busy keeping that big wheel rolling. Content etc.
A lot of hard work to retrieve logs,but it will be worth it !! In the end !!
Great job on the clean up, thank god you have a nice tractor to make your life so much easier!
still doing awesome work, even cleaning up the tree, are you enjoying doing you tube full time.
Wow what beautiful logs! Great that you have a mill and can use them in your home design.
13:09 great looking tree / if you side you house in wood you could just seal it with a garden spray (or paint sprayer) and deck sealer for a cheap option
Beautiful 🪵!!
That's what she said.
Those pine logs were huge! They'll cut well and look awesome as shiplap or whatever ya'll will be doing with them. Alot of work paid off for ya, I can't wait to see the finished product! Love ya'll ❤️
Thanks Russell yeah we're going to get a ton of ship lap out of these!
@@ThisOffGridLife and saving yourself thousands of dollars 💵!!
Hard workers you & spouse!! Naples fl
Cut the branches off of those trees 🌳, it's a lot easier to drag those trees 🌳 without the limbs on them..
Kışlık odun ve genel bir temizlik yapmışsınız ,
Kolay gelsin 👍🌹
Thanks for another great story. Looking forward to seeing your milled wood. I love tagging along and watching your progress. 🐞🥀💕
We are really excited to get going on the mill again it's been quite a few months since we've done any significant milling. It's my happy place *Greg*
You may want to acquire a grapple for your tractor to grab lift and carry logs. It looked a little precarious to me when you stood under the logs using the ratchet strap balanced on the bucket...
It's definitely on the list of implements for the tractor
Send money for the grapple!!!!!!
Big trees. Lucky to have all for construction. Thanks for sharing
We will see in future videos!
Love your videos and your pioneer spiret.
I very much like rustic we built a 40x80 shop and the last 20 feet is barndominium we had rough sawn oak and maple we did board and batton on the walls with galvanized corrugated tin as wainscoting looks like it's been there 100 years fits into the old west look for our area in Wyoming...we used to have a lot of beetle kill pine around in the Wyoming black hills thinning the trees cured the beetle 🪲 problem
Bedankt
How cool...collecting the trees, beautiful, gorgeous nature ....I love ❤️ this kind of work....wishing to be there ...doing the same💫very curious to see how you will use them all...it will look wonderful with those wonderful trunks
You are making a very good investment !!👍💪💪
Great job! I love the look of beetle kill wood colour is fabulous! It will make for a stunning wall feature!
Looking forward to seeing what you do to the wood. Enjoying your channel. Change from mudding rooms.
Team work makes the dream work. Great job guys
tractor turning out to be a good investment !
It's been awesome 👌
Ya, I was thinking the same thing. Greg was so stoked when it came in, and they're working it hard!
Pretty exciting times ahead for you guys your own timber supply which is awesome 👏
love them goats.
I wonder how many boards one of those ponderosa pine logs will make?
like the extra video midweek
Hello from Centreville, Mississippi
Looking good
I love your stories guys
So beautiful
Keep up the videos and I'll keep commenting. Love the goats and your tractor
Great video ,, I get a wonderful inner peace just being out in the wooded area`s like that :)
GET RID OF ALL TREES THAT ARE "FALLING DISTANCE" FROM YOUR HOUSE!....
I really enjoy your videos
Pulling logs how you has the potential to flip your tractor over big time. Yes you have a roll bar but you could get flipped out of the seat before you could blink. I would have got past the log and use the bucket to get the upper end on the road then pull . Alternative face down hill and lift upper end to edge of the road. Many people have been killed doing just what you are doing.
hello from algeria
Why don’t you cut the branches before hauling the logs and remove all unnecessary branches from your road side
bol and keep crushing
lv this stuff
Great Job with the logs! Got a splitter?
I am the splitter
@@ThisOffGridLife oh boy! I started out that way! Living off grid and heating primarily with wood, investing in a splitter will save your body! I know and paid the price! I know it’s an expense, but it make a huge difference and your wife would be able to run it also!
With footage like that, Kioti ought to be paying you two the big bucks for proving their tractors to be 'indestructible'. It's either that or Kioti execs are cringing and hoping their equipment doesn't fail. LOL
I see how everyone is an expert on these comments , just keep your advice to yourselves and enjoy the video .
Bucket forks?
Good afternoon you guys how you guys doing hey if you do it right can you guys build a little cabin or something you got plenty of wood right there but you know it's up to you guys hey that would be nice or a little garage or something or a water tank or something put water tank in there something that way you don't want you guys get your water hooked up much better that way you can fill it up your tank and you don't have to go so far down and get your water all right guys have a great day
Think its time for a winch for doing that stuff.
