There's something magical about this place || Cabin on a Cliff

- I last posted 2 weeks ago because the process of siding is slow and tedious, and I just didn't want to post something until I had enough done to make the cabin look different than the last time. In my opinion, this is worth the wait - let me know what you think.
I now have 2 sides of the cabin sided, and I feel like most of the challenging parts are over. I have a bit of experience now with things, so hopefully the next 2 walls will be less 'up and down' so-to-speak. Hopefully I have enough lumber for the job, but if not, I will just mill some more! Join me at the sawmill soon!
Now, I can sit here and critique my work to no end, and the gable end at the front doesn't look quite as good as I hoped (maybe all black would have looked better), but it's not worth changing! I think the back will look better with longer spans of the wood both vertically and horizontally.
Of course, my chipmunk friends are back! Yay!! There is one specifically out of the bunch I've seen (I've seen about 4-5) that crawls up on me, and he is the only one, so I am certain that's Johnny from last year. So cute. 🥰
As always, I appreciate you tuning in and watching the journey(s) of my life.
See you in the next one!

(P.S. Yes, I will sand down and paint/stain the sliding glass door black to match AND I will eventually install a railing 😉😁)
The last minute of this video is, in my opinion, UA-cam gold. Worth the wait, absolutely. Don't change a thing.
I can't believe what timing you have and wisdom you are sharing with us. I suddenly think you are empathetic in some way. Just guessing. I don't claim to know your story but you just brought something different with your closing words. Bless you.

It is in your heart, Michelle. ❣👍🕯
@@michygoss7148 That was true of my wife too. Sometimes it didn't come out as casually expected, like when inserting a foley catheter or a syringe for a blood draw. But when our poor feline was in the latter stages of GI cancer, her decisiveness in putting our sweet family member out of her suffering was startling. It took me quite awhile to understand it for the loving and compassionate decision it was.
@@michygoss7148 In the last year and a half of my mother's life, I encountered many nurses, and the majority of them were fantastic. Sadly, there were a few I wouldn't trust as animal control officers, and some who seemed more suited to a profession as a prison guard. Watching your videos, and watching the cabin come to life has been a welcome distraction, and is still amazing. I expect you're a fantastic nurse-- even if you are part squirrel, part carpenter and part lumberjack.
It's a cabin, it's a rustic Cabin, let it be a rustic cabin. it looks awesome.
Or as we say here 'da' UP.... it's camp when honing in on whether it's square or not.
My heart skips every time you stand near the edge of the deck. Love the channel please be safe.
Just Spectacular a Woman among the Greatest Hearts in the Cosmos Immeasurable Unbounded Creative Ability
I don’t believe there is a builder that is 100 % happy with a project. Our little voices in our heads are so critical. I love watching !!!
Michy, septuagenarian and former rock climber here. I love your channel and content because you climb your own climb and do it your own way, in your own style and accept whatever challenges crop up with a stout heart ❤ and cheerful demeanor. You embrace the concept of “improvise, adapt & overcome”. You go woman! 👍
Am artiste, a builder, a healer, a philosopher, a pragmatist, an athlete…and an energetic “doer” with a positive attitude…need I say more? Yes…Steve is a fortunate person!😎👍
Love the fact that you had some little helpers to keep you company! ❤
That HAS to be Johnny!
@@Kodas-Dad Heeeeeeeerrrre's JOHNNY!
I have never witnessed or experienced the total trusting behavior of a chipmunk so trusting it climbs up you to get a treat and comes back even while you are working. Amazing and sooo cute 😎
I think it looks great. Remember as you are working, about 99 % of the people will not notice the small things. Don't let it take over the day. Nice close. Enjoy watching your channel.
From a carpenter of 40 plus year i myself think your doing a awesome job keep up the good work. Thanks for the quote and content, hope Steve is doing better till the next one.
I'm proud of the two bunkies I built in northern Ontario, but, they are in a gravel parking lot on my 15 acres with easy vehicle access. What you have done on the side of a cliff just blows my mind. The dedication is incredibly inspiring. Thanks for what you do, Michygoss. :)
BOTH YOU AND YOUR CABIN ARE LOOKING REALLY REALLY GREAT , MICHELLE , ALL THE VERY BEST .
Hello Madam,
What beautiful words at the end of this video.
Whatever you do, there will always be people who will make contrary or even hateful comments. I admire you for having carried out this cabin almost alone and with all the logistical problems.
I'm looking at you from France

Michelle
Experience is learning through failure. You can read a thousand books or watch a thousand videos but learning through failure you never forget. Keep failing and keep learning. Just never give up. You are doing great.
You can forget it, trust me.
Love the quote by Charles Swindall, needed it this morning. Be positive, and don't beat yourself up. Far to many people are willing to do it for you, so love your pets they're far less judgmental.
You don't suck Michelle. We all have to learn new things all our lives. So don't worry about it, that's a great cabin and you have done a wonderful job. So just keep on rocking it..
That siding looks fabulous Michelle. Especially that bark siding on the lake side. I would have never thought of that. 👍
"Comparison is the thief of joy." You're doing a GREAT job. So keep doing "YOU" Michelle on YOUR channel Michygoss. And besides...your content is more than the cliff house. Stay positive!
Don’t doubt yourself. Those boards were cut and covered for the winter and should be fine. If one splits down the road, just replace it. You’re doing great! I think Johnny must be the brave one like you. Much of what you accomplish, others just dream about!
Congratulations on the work.
Your cabin is more beautiful every Day.
Yep, the comment at the end , about attitude is priceless ! Thank you for sharing it with us, beautiful, absolutely beautiful !
Dude. Your doing great. Its justa little cabin in the woods. Im a proffesional carpenter my wife and i love your Channel
Hey Michy, you do you better than anyone else! Don't get caught-up on how other folks do a project, just enjoy your project and learn as you go.
Michelle, your boundless energy is amazing.
Don't sweat the little things....woos is a craft....we all learn as we go....
You rock....Don't let others steal your joy❤
Как же ты прекрасна! Ты просто замечательная женщина! Ломаешь, строишь, отдыхаешь, трудишься! Ты молодец! Ты просто супер женщина!
Most people would never even be able to manage the journey each time to that place and hauling all the tools and supplies to it so you are doing amazing work that the majority of so called awesome builders would never get their hands on anyway.
My favorite saying as a craftsman is”I cut it 3 times and it’s still too short” . Keep it up! You’re doing a phenomenal job in spite of what your’e feeling. BTW, I love the new song. I might use that one in my projects as well. Best Wishes!
Just want to say I think the siding looks incredible!
Hi Michelle. Cabin looks beautiful!!! But your still the most beautiful!!!! I know what it feels like doing sketchy things...someone is looking after us foolish builders cause we are still alive and have learned even better ways to do sketchy stuff. Super great editing. Thank you for at least giving safety a thought. Stay safe and happy.❤
Very heart warming quote
Philosophical ending with a great quote but my next t-shirt will say, "I is what I are".
Your work is a tremendous inspiration
Michelle, I sure do enjoy your videos, thank you for posting them and it doesn’t matter if the carpentry is perfect. It just matters that you’re doing it by yourself.
“Way to go girl”.
So many great things about this video... The anticipation of waiting an extra week, the scenery, perseverance, Johnny and Cash, the music, the resourcefulness and of course it goes without saying, the Levi's LOL!
No matter the methods the end results of the rustic cabin are looking great.
You are amazing!! I think most of us feel that we're just winging it. Butcin the end we do it and it looks great. Your work is awesome!! ❤❤❤
Great to see you. I don’t think the sound was bad at all. Do it your way, it will be their long after you move on. Doing a great job, your a worker for sure. Projects take time to get them done and then are you ever really done. Plus your travel time to get their and all you have hauled to do this build is just amazing. Your doing fantastic and I thank you for sharing your adventures
Listening to it now (on my phone) isn’t as bad as when I was editing with headphones on. So perhaps it’s only really noticeable with headphones 🎧 🤷🏻♀️ (but it was really annoying the whole editing process). Glad it wasn’t so noticeable!
It’s an adventure to watch you . Totally enjoyable. Thankyou for being who you are and being willing to share. Love it all.
The black trim on the windows and door look good and so does the siding, I think you are on the right track.
Always a pleasure. I haven’t stopped by in a while, but I always enjoy your content. Yes, what probably enticed me to click on your video, many years ago, was your attractiveness. What keeps me coming back is your tenacity and your relatability. I like that you show your learning process and creative problem solving. It is such a beautiful property, and the cabin is a work of love. You are an inspiration. Keep it up.
You don't suck. Just ignore the haters, Michelle. You're doing great! :)
I'm new to your channel. I'm 61 years old. I have some construction experience! You have a good thought process for how to build. Best of luck!
You are always amazing to watch. Everything you do is done with love.
Good job Michelle, you be careful on the cliff, I'm praying that you and Steve will put railings on your cliff cabin for safety purposes fore you Steve and the puppies 🙏🙏🙏
God bless you and Steve for the amazing work that you do❤❤
Now listen, you have to ask yourself, is this going to be a SHOW SHACK for Home and Gardens ,, or a comfortable place for friends and family to relax. You should be proud of yourself, for the hard work you have put in. Right or wrong you did it with very little help, chimp monks excluded. You are a marvelous Woman that is a Nurse with outside interest, and you are easy on the eyes too. Let the armchair builders say what they want, you are a doer that is what counts. Stay safe Thanks for sharing.
Hi Michy, the siding looks great. I love the live edge Looks really great
The cabin is looking great, I love the way you think on your feet, the triangular window pieces turned out really well. you are doing an amazing job. so please don't be so critical of your work. you are doing this without any help and you are doing brilliantly.
I think trial and error has been our best teacher throughout history and will continue to be in the future.I love what you do,and eagerly watch and admire your work and natures beauty.
Thank You for taking us to the edge of awesomeness !!!!
Just LOVE that chipmunk talk!
It looks good, has insect mesh, insulation, looks well waterproof, double glazed windows, thats some fancy rustic from the rustic I have experienced. Its looking fantastic!
Don’t cut yourself short you are doing a great job … Stay safe and positive 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼🔨🪚🙋🏼♂️
Lovey job. Looks great. And that quote by Charles Swindoll was absolutely fantastic. So simple, so true
Btw, that lake view is increble. That's why I was suggesting you add add a full bathroom in that tiny house. It could totally become an air b n b after you modifed the skymule into an elevator. system. heehee. Shrug.
Don't worry about being the next Norm Abram Michy . You have your own talent and charm. And your comments about attitude are spot on.
LOL...I miss Norm!!
And your little friend needs a mini chipmunk house very cute .
Michy, I don't comment a lot, but I have watched all your videos and honestly, you are an inspiration to me. The quote at the end resonated in a way that made me think about my own life and choices. Thank you for being you and sharing your journey with us.
💜💝
I love watching your videos. Everyone is hardest on themselves, but you're doing a great job. The siding looks great!
Things are coming together, looks really nice. Great trim work. The chipmunks are too darn cute, but be careful. We raised some squirrels and released them. When chip came back with a huge tick, my husband tried to remove it and was bit pretty good. Chip kept his tick and Travis went to work.
Love the ending comments; I will keep those bits of ideology handy for my own moments of doubt and grumpiness. The cabin siding look great. I also especially love the large front windows. Keep up the great videos Michy..
I just don’t have the words to describe your cabin!! It is just perfect and the setting and view is amazing! You are very gutsy to have tackled it-hope you can enjoy it for many years! ❤❤❤❤
And by the way, you don’t suck. You’re doing a great job there one your own. 💪💪💪💪💪
GoodBraveheart,
In this video i get the impression that after a slow start you are getting better and better in your elements.
Many of your physical and mental skills comes together.
Stay tuned to your intuition, after overthinking and listening to comments.
This project is yours, so the decisions you make are good.
Take f.i. the vertical placed planks.
The look of the outside within all the trees, matches de vertical standing of (most) trees.
You placed the planks in its natural position.
From the view of the drone, you can see an organic building, wood in wood.
Very, very beautiful.
Go on that path, and the attitude at the altitude of the cabin shows that there stands a proud human.
The siding and front trim is awesome, and your philosophy on life is spot on! Cheers from NC!
Fabulous work Michelle! I've been watching your channel since near the beginning of this cabin build, and am astounded by how much stamina and sheer physical effort you have put into this build, by yourself! With all the "mental gymnastics" and doubt you've had in yourself, you have endured, figured out everything, and come up with a solution that will do the job. The emotional, mental and physical input you have invested in this is huge! I bet you've clocked up many 100s, if not 1000s of miles travelling out to your paradise lake property with the pooches, cat and Steve at times, in all types of hot and freezing cold winter weather! You, my dear lady are one very classy high value woman who accomplishes what she dreams, desires, plans, then builds!
Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your family with us, every week or so. Blessings from me in NZL, David ❤
This is funny almost because you could make videos of the dogs popping and people would watch .. lol but seriously you’re awesome . Life relationship the fur babies boating building I just appreciate all the effort you put into making the videos you do ,so lower expectations of what you do for us and live your best life
They don’t pop, they poop!😜
@@SJC49 yea my thumbs got ahead of my brain

Welcome to the elite carpenters club comprised of individuals who have made 15 degree sills with a circ saw and a sander! One of the percs is the ability to ignore the advice of individuals who googled manufactured siding spec sheets in a desperate attempt to seem adequate. Each piece of custom milled anything has its own personality and needs when it comes to fastening. You're doing great!
On an unrelated note: As someone who has jumped off of many perfectly good things in his life, you CAN use a triple wrapped D ring as a decelerator in a pinch when you've left your figure 8 elsewhere, watched it bounce down the side of a mountain, etc. :)
I’m not too worried about you falling because I know angels can fly, but don’t overthink what you’re doing. You’re doing a great job follow your first instinct. Chances are it was right I would redesigned that spool on your sky mule and rig up a handbrake off the front of a motorcycle. I hope you never stop posting.❤❤❤
The drone image really shows what a shear cliff that cabin was built on. Just amazing views from there of the water below
This cabin will probably outlive you and me. It looks fine. Don’t overthink 😮it down the road if you decide to go horizontal with it, you put it on with screws. You could take it all back off and redo it.
Soy carpintero ebanista y veo que se te da bastante bien ,ánimo!!
Omg Michy, I love your determination and problem solving!!!! And your a pretty good hockey player 🇨🇦
I would so like to see you put a temporary safety rail on the front of that deck!
Cutest overwhelmed.. love the song .. sorry your going threw the ruff times with the siding.. you got this . Looks awesome 👌 ❤😊
The drone shots are just unreal ❤❤❤❤ you have gorgeous workstation 😊❤
6:33 There will always be someone better than you and someone who’s not. You doing a grand job from where I’m sitting. 👍🏻
I really admire your drive, your willingness to try things and share it on youtube - including your errors/struggles. But my oh my, you do tend to make things hard on yourself, especially with all the second guessing, and perfectionism. You seem to sometimes rob yourself of the deserved JOY of building something wonderful - even if it's not "perfect". Nothing is!!
Always outstanding and full of surprises! 👍👍👍🇨🇱🇺🇸. Thank You 😊
Because you Built it Michy and it over looks the awesome land.
Michelle, I am impressed with your work ethics. You are doing this your way and to me it looks great. Congratulations!😊❤
MICHY YOUR MAKING GOOD PROGRESS BASED ON LOCATION, AND TIME CONSTRAINTS. YOUR SCAFFOLDING WAS PRETTY GOOD, HOWEVER NEXT TIME SCREW A SAFETYRAIL UP THERE TOO TO INCREASE SAFETY AND SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TOO. YOUR GETTING THERE, HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, AMEN.
Hi another Beautiful job well done by a Beautiful Lady. Cheers.
I have so enjoyed watching the progress of this build over the years. It is satisfying seeing you getting near the end of finishing this beautiful place. I hope that in the future you and Steve can spend many hours relaxing and taking in the beautiful sites there. A side note- if Levi Strauss has not contacted you about being in an ad campaign they are clueless☺️
It’s beautiful Michelle. Clever solution to hanging the scaffolding. Good thing you don’t get dizzy.
There were a couple of times I had to really slow down and focus cuz it’s easy to get dizzy and kinda turned around. But I managed!
Excellent work, please be safe, life is full of ups and downs, and you have surely had a lot of ups and downs on this project, But it is how you cope with it, achieving progress each day, because it doesn’t matter whatever happens or you do there will always be the next day, to accomplish your goal, Not sure if this is garbled message, but I think you might get the point, ❤😂,
Michelle, there is something very magical about the place but mother nature aside, the most magical ingredient has been you. Your vision, your ingenuity, your hard work - just you! Love the place, when is it going on AirBNB ;) Joking.... You are way too harsh on yourself. What you've done is sensational. It looks like it belongs there and inside is just perfect. If I needed a cabin building, I'd hire you!
Great Call putting your siding on vertical, it looks stunning.
You started the video expressing doubt abut some of you technique choices, so to put some perspective on this whole build, who among viewers has attempted doing what you have done, celebrate your accomplishment. Know you have done an extraordinarily challengingly build. By most measures a great success. Congratulations.
"I did it tack down so it won't move." ,,,, Perrrfect
Safety is my priority! 😂
You are a shining example of what it would be like to live out Swindoll’s quote! Be good to yourself.
Michelle, your kicking goals everywhere. Your little friends just prove what a great person you are. Cheers m8!!!!
You are the homeowner. Make the homeowner happy.
Such a tiny dot on the side of the rock when the drone zooms out. But a very nice dot. I didn't expect that detail in the window framing until you started it. Amazing work. - cheers
This makes a very pretty cabin.... Have a nice weekend Michèle ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋
I built an "imperfect"' cabin in Idaho a long time ago (20+ years). Didn't know what I was doing. Definitely could have been better. But, its still standing, and has provided decades of enjoyment. So, board-and-batten discussion... it'll be fine. Love seeing hard work come to fruition.
Ok I was freaking out and I wasn’t even standing on that plank. That was much better than being on the top of the ladder and reaching. As u indicated in the title that view is spectacular… another awesome video, well done. I couldn’t agree more with u on attitude, we have a choice.
It's looking fantastic. I wouldn't have thought of the bug screen under the siding.
It is really coming together nicely Michelle! I have milled & hung lots of board and batten, but never the “ reversed” style. It looks cool. I have enjoyed sharing your journey on learning and new projects coming to life. I do a lot of very similar projects & work alone too. Keep taking your time & thinking things out. Also I get a kick out of Johnny! I guess that is when the pups are home 😆. My hound would never tolerate that because squirrels and chipmunks are her nemesis’s.
Great job with the trims around the windows. You were thinking outside the box there!
Hello!
Greetings from Russia!
I'm watching you and what you do!
This is great!
Good luck to you and achieving your goals!
I sure do wish you would put a railing up. being out there by yourself you fall off that would be a tragedy. just a thought. the cabin on the cliff is looking really good you're doing a really good job I think😂 thank you for the video see you on the next one😂😮🎉
