I love how well you guys support and work together. Finding this channel was a blessing. You guys are the best! Keep up the good work! You are an inspiration to us all!
Well said!
A great looking, and practical, woodshed guys. The lumber you’ve milled and logs you’ve used will ensure that your shed will last decades longer than something store bought at a fraction of the cost. FYI Costco sells a great solar powered exterior light with 3 separate heads that would be great to cover all 3 sections when out at night. There would be no issues with it surviving the winter as I’ve used the light here in Canada for several winters. I look forward to your next video. Stay safe
I like everything about it, and I'm with Ariel...I would want to just sit in there and hang out lol. God bless!
Bo can't believe you took away his sawdust bed.
Yes that was so cute!
He follows them like a shadow, it’s so cute
Yes, I bet he thought that was a coup just from him. :-(
it looks fantastic myself I would put some kind of gravel down around the front and a bit inside just to stop the heavy mud when it rains and some heavy torches for inside for when its dark
Can you guys build an attached screened in patio to your home for hanging out in a bug free zone? If you can do this amazing build you can do a screened in attached patio, even a carport to park your cars in. You guys would be set for all seasons.
That's exactly what I was thinking. They need a place to just chill and hangout and look at all they've accomplished. Also, think if they extend the deck it could fit a wood fired hot tub. Lol
@@erincanezaro453 Ooooo Genius idea!
I think these two inspirational people can do anything.
After the porch, I think they need a sauna and shower room!
@@beckypincalifornia1985 YES!!!
Last the root cellar, now this functional shed made with materials at hand. The barn door may be a smart move too. Sure shows what team work can produce in a shortened summer season. Thanks for sharing, you're really awesome!
That turned out really well. A great addition to the homestead. Next, equipment shed.
Next is filling it with wood
Beautiful job on this project! Much better than a tarp... in sooo many ways... The two of you working together sooo well... is something that makes my heart envious of the life you're building... Not in a bad way, but a way that says I'm very happy for you!! You show what can happen... when a man and a woman working together toward a common goal... are able to achieve... Kudos to you both... God bless you always...
Yup. A good marriage is not looking at each other but looking in the same direction.
I've come to the conclusion that I really enjoy watching other people work.
That's pretty sick, but it is what it is.
That would be us too! I guess that’s what happens when you’re retired! 😂
😂🤣😂
*Or you live in the city with a very small garden❗️*
I have watched this lovely couple work for hours!!! To be young healthy and strong!
@@pwengert1 But, they motivated me to solve some of my own problems, I'm putting in a fence around my garden and have begun to put in garden ties on a bank to make steps and prevent falling. I fell twice this season so I need to do something. They have shown me, do what is necessary and I am, even as a retiree.
You two work your butts off and the homestead is looking beautiful. The woodshed is amazing.
Do a rolling barn door. It’s too pretty to have a tarp. IMO.
Yes, any door that the piling snow won't push in and will give easiest access when the deep snow hits.
Rather then that, build a awning out the front. Do it cleverly and snow can be plowed away simply, leaving good access.
In winter throw some snow fence across the opening... That'll keep most out since the buildings not weather proof anyway, and it's easy to move aside.
As always, your project turned out awesome. So we'll thought out and executed.
Is there a reason why you didn't overlap the boards a bit, like clapboards, so it'd be a bit drier in there? Just curious. More airflow maybe?
All right in the South that's what we call rough cut Lumber I had a 1930s house that was made out of that good stuff👍👌🐝
I love how clever you two are. I would have gone and bought pegs to hang the tools with and the nails are far more affordable and just as sturdy. Wood shed looks great.
I like the extra storage you guys put inside for the hanging tools. It’s a really great way to utilize space😊
If this were built in the lower 48, we would be treating it with Thompson’s Water Seal, or something similar. Why doesn’t this happen in Alaska? Just curious.
As a wood turner i would suggest you both wear a good quality dust mask when milling any wood. Many types of wood are carcinogenic and collect in your lungs. Once there long enough it will cause some unfortunate breakdown of lung tissue, cancers and respiratory failure. It may take years to manifest. Be safe and stay healthy. This project is awesome, great team work.
I've really enjoyed watching your homestead grow over the months, that was a great improvement on the log mill. Stay safe, your wood shed is looks great.
it turned out to be simple beautiful, see no thumbs down at all.
I would set up my barbecue & semi outdoor bar over there.
Now it looks like a firewood Taj Mahal!!!
Makes me love my woodmizer even more! I did that for a bit, it’s a lot of work. One suggestion- your saw is bogging a lot, might consider a larger saw or ripping chain... milling is an easy way to burn up a chainsaw.
You have skills, a Jack of all Trades like me, and your wife is a real trooper , you two were made for each other like my wife and I of 45 years we just put a new roof on our house last year and we're in our mid 60's...
Now you need to build another for your dairy goats 😁
Awesome job. Now you have a place to take a person "behind the wood shed."
Absolutely stunning! Never thought I would say that about a place to store wood. 😉
Like the idea of a sliding barn door, will be attractive. How about flower / shrub beds in the front to stop water from flowing inside?
Well done!
Nicely done, the woodshed is a pretty special structure on the homestead! Not to take away from the chainsaw mill but I see a Woodmizer in your future!
The learning curve is short on woodmizers and it would be another stream of income.
Heck he could probably build his own bandmill.
It's beautiful! Great job guys! There's something very satisfying about seeing neatly stacked woodpiles and this takes that to a whole other level!
I just want to tell both of you that you have put a lot of hard work into the house and wood shed and other structures on your property and I am impressed by all that you have done.
That is just great!! Love how you two work together!🥰🥰
A great functional structure that looks good as well. Perfect use for the dead trees on your property.
Hi Arielle & Eric, you guys are such natural teachers. Every video you two do is outstanding! Thank you for sharing so much of your journey with us.
We've heated out home for thirteen years. It's quite a process. We're in our mid seventies
looks amazing and you two are the epitome of making use out of everything you have available!
I am hearing impaired so I often have CC on. When it got to the point where you are running the chainsaw the caption said "Music" I grinned ear-to-ear.
Yeah It’s so pretty I would have probably king hammocks in their for rainy days 😂😂😂
Ariel, bangin nails like a boss!
You betcha, Rosie The Rivetor emerges once again.
Awesome job you two. Big improvement over a tarp. Time for drone and a new aerial view 😉
That is the most owesome woodshed lv ever seen how good are you two
Love it. Cheap and serves it's purpose, did a great job on it. Thanks for taking the time to make a video on it for to help out your fellow man.
What a fantastic wood shed! Great design! Hey, how about an arial drone shot of the property to get a better idea of the layout! And if you have one from when you first moved in for comparison, to show how much you’ve accomplished!🥬🥦🥕🐓🥰👍
I’m impressed it’s not easy hanging siding strain down level when you don’t have a straight edge to reference. The building looks nice. You’re going to want to get something between the pallets and the ground because they will rot, I know from experience. Also no mater how cool that bark looks on the back siding get it off -bugs will get in there and cause rot that’s why you don’t see log cabins with bark.
Good work, I think it looks awesome! You could probably park the Polaris in the center during inclement weather.
Wow, looks great! In my opinion, you two are right up there with The Outsider, Girl in The Woods, and Gridlessness family!
Bo is definitely my spirit animal
The shed looks awesome!
I would like to provide two pieces of advice, as civil/construction engineer:
1. The roof construction is quite slender, not familiar with your climate, and design loads, but I guess that you plan to shovel the roof if there is excessive snowfall. Anyhow, for wind, snow and uneven firewood loads i suggest diagonal cross bracing supporting corner posts on at least three places.
2. It looked like you used four 4" nails for each wall board. if you are unlucky or if the boards degrade in the ends the stacks might push the boards out. Some stacks seemed to rest on the posts, for others, resting on the board walls you might want to consider a vertical 2 by 6 or something to distribute the load. No need to restack the firewood though, but you could consider it as an extra precaution the next time a section gets empty.
Greetings from a swedish moose hunter!
I am also interested in how it will weather the snowy season. A fantastic build.
Might want to consider doubling up a few of those roof 2" x 4" rafters for additional snow load support.
Well done. You should extend the roof then you can store your vehicle in there during the winter
Great thing about pole buildings is that you can keep adding bays.
I noticed that some of those pallets are missing some planks you could cut some pieces of planks from those wood that you cut and cover those missing pieces of the pallets
Just an idea
Great work it's an awesome wooden build
🌺✌peace✌🌺
Thank you! I love watching you two work together. Fantastic results. I would liked to have seen a view from a short distance, and perhaps a aerial view of the homestead, so we can put it all together in our heads. Always excited to get your invite.
When are you guys going to build yourselves a bad ass log cabin? I know I would watch every minute of that!
OutlanderVideo hopefully soon....
That really turned out great. Congratulations on a job well done.
Love, Love, Love your channel :-) Great job on the wood shed!
Beautiful woodshed. You did an amazing job on that one! But one little suggestion - Put on a lockable door to protect your tools. We're 12 miles from you and the other day, we had intruders when we weren't home and they carried off everything that wasn't locked down, including the trash can, the winch off the truck, the firewood cart, and a dolly. They even broke into the outhouse and took the toilet paper holder and two half-burnt candles, which is pretty hilarious, but they also got all my sentimental froggie statuary that was dotted around the place.
Makes me think that after installing that lockable rolling barn door and a solar panel for lighting when you visit the woodshed at night, you might want to activate the lighting with a motion detector. Sign of the times I guess.
Wow, you guys did an amazing job! It looks great! Such a nice addition to the property!
Watching you two has inspired me immensely.
I will use so many things I learned from you, when my Alaska homestead gets going.
I recently purchased land outside of Tok, and was going to be coming up this month.
But Covid-happened.
Thank you for the knowledge.
Keith Lumley God bless. Maybe you could share your journey, too.
Tok is a pretty area, but the mosquitoes there are horrible during the summer. I prefer coastal life here in Alaska but I hope you enjoy your journey when you get to our state.
@@Thornbeard
That is the truth! I was looking at cheap farm land in Glenn Allen (and no taxes!) when I first came up here, and I stopped the truck and within seconds the windows were covered! I put it into reverse and continued on to the valley. Beautiful area but the bugs are INSANE.
You know, I don't normally give advice on these kind of channels, but... Diagonal Bracing will prevent you folks from a lot of heartache. Try it. You'll like it.
Of course, you can stand back and watch it collapse in a good wind storm without diagonal bracing, and it'll be even more fun if it's loaded with a foot or two or snow.
That wiodshed looks great! You guys did a good job!
You two are an amazing team! The woodshed looks terrific - well-built and well-planned, right down to the sawdust!
Omg guys it looks awesome!!!!! Love what you’ve done!!!!!
Really, really nice build! Hanging tool storage was such a great idea too! I only saw one of your dogs in this video. Hoping that doesn't mean something happened.
NE Sandhiller both the boys are doing great, Bandit was messing around in the pond all day :)
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Great!!! I was sure hoping Bandit was okay. They are both pretty great dogs!
Looks amazing 👌 Guys. Great video. Barn sliding door with a man door for the winter months, open for the summer. A LED lights for working when it's dark. See if you can purchase a reverse kindling splitter. They work very well . Thanks 😊
Btw: you can use that sawdust, if mixed with concrete sand (4:1 sawdust to sand) as planting soil. Looks like the chickens got it this time??? Continued success!
Even better with chicken manure in it!
Nice job, the wood shed looks great and it's nice to see you working together to complete the project!
Add a overhead door awning to keep the snow away from the door opening. This stops you from shoveling snow just to get inside the building. If you have the resources to add on to the hole front of the building, you’ll have more space for equipment or storage.
Great build. Really enjoy and look forward to your channel. You guys really have skills! Just wondering how the root cellar is holding up in all of that rain? Stay well!
Keep milling build your own cabin on the 2d property, great vid thanks
My husband and I so admire you kids for your ingenuity and hard work! The way you have made the most of your land, built all your surrounding outbuildings, your cold storage for your food, you are SO SMART! Now you have this beautiful, hand milled wood storage shed with your wood already cut for next year! So much better prepared than those fake "reality" shows! Well done!
since you put all those tools and generators it's probably better to lock it all up. You never know....
We look so forward to seeing what you guys are doing every week. We would love to see an addition onto your home after hearing Ariel say she was a little bummed and would like to hang out in the woodshed, maybe an additional room that could serve as a sunroom where she could start her seedlings for planting and just hang out. God bless you both.
You might want to put a couple of diagonals for sideways support & consider stronger beams for the roof (for heavy snow / winds). Looks great though and what a great feeling to have more space for work /tools 🙂
i agree complitly, maybe diagonals in both directions; heavy maschines use this technique also
Nice job! It should serve you well for many years.
Great JOB!! WELL DONE!! YOU TWO are Bad Ass, i sure enjoy watching your show. Stay safe.
Surely a great improvement to get better wood for heat !
Love it! Can you do an updated video of the property with the drone? Would love to see all the projects.
Super nice looking wood shed! Love it! U guys make everything look so easy...😁 ...I know it isn't....
That looks amazing! I'd build an outdoor kitchen the same way!
Great video content and quality!! Nice to see you 2 continue to work as a team. The pallets are a good idea to keep the bottom wood off the ground for sure! I dont mean to be a "know all" but never split wood on the ground - the earth just absorbs the energy, use your big splitting log ( not just for kindling). And those splitting mauls are just great. I hardly use my old axes now. You guys have created a wonderful place out of hard work and teamwork.
How many planks could you get in between sharpenings?
What a neat looking useful building! Wow a sliding door made like that would be so cool! You two never stop working!
Rolling barn door, but it has to match the walls. Good job guys.
Just found this channel ! And subscribe. Good job on the build
looks awesome, I built a similar shed and I put two canvas tarps on the opening so I could part them for easy in and out. I put them on a cable like a shower curtain so you can push them aside when your working or the weather is not bad.
Steve Allen Great idea thank you!
Fantastic, I agree it’s a great looking shelter.
Salut vous ho super beau tank you vidéo magnifique bravo
if you overlap the boards, then you don't have gaps between them. You mentioned snow and rain, if you overlap the boards then it's called weatherboarding! Am I missing something? Sorry if I am!
That would really slow down the air flow which is needed to keep the logs dry and mould free. A little rain and snow may get in but not enough to cause a problem.
@ 4:41 I love the quick switch 2 the 2 handed hammer grip;... Dam can't hit your fingers that way...
Aw Bo loved hanging out on the sawdust
Well done ... YOU 2 NAILED IT !! 😂👍
out of interest what do you use for bar oil? I've started using rapeseed (canola oil for Americans/Canadians) so that i feel fine composting the shavings. I have heard canola oil has trouble in extreme low temps though?
How well does that stay on the chain? Bar oil is formulated to be sticky, like honey is, to stick to the chain, because at high speed regular oil will be flung off the chain at the top of the bar and the bottom (that’s doing the work) doesn’t get enough lubrication, especially on a longer bar.
wouldnt be a bad idea to put a center beam on the 10ft walls. all that movement is going to work those boards loose
Great wood shed! You two are banging out projects this year!!! I have Willow set on my weather app and being in Phoenix am slightly jealous of the rain 🌧.
Looks Great !!! Y’all did a great job . I really enjoy watching your Alaska Adventure .Lord Bless
You two amaze me with every video! I think whatever you choose to accomplish, you WILL!
Congratulations on a wonderful new building!! You could have a great party in there if you wanted!!
You both amaze me. The wood shed is stunning!! Keep up the amazing work! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!!
Why does The Truman Show keep visiting my mind.
Good job guys!! Now the real work starts. Chopping that pile of wood! So impressed by how much y’all have accomplished in just a couple of days.
Eric and Arielle, I just heard the news of the earthquake 7.8 I pray to God that you guys are ok. Please say something. I’m worried to death. Hope you are well.
I was wondering that too! It looks like the epicenter was about 500 miles south of there. News said the Matsu valley had “mild shaking”, so they should be okay hopefully.
i hope to see yall at 500k subs soon
Great job. You work well together. It's nice to see. Storage is always great on any homestead. Good luck with it.
Wow, I am fortunate enough to have a Woodmizer band-saw mill and I'll tell you what, my hat is off to you guys for getting all that done with a chainsaw mill. Well done!
Well done you two, Ariel you swing a hammer like a Pro !!
I see your getting your share of rain too ! This year has been a wet one.
Take care and Enjoy , It does look awesome !! Fill it up now.. Take Care !
Wonderful shed. Good looking too. Well done guys!
