wow, what a lot of work/fun accomplishment...even in the storms...and through the night..the custom live edge....and the kids having a blast!!! nice find on the berries..yum!!! flippin' a log in the forest...awesome! love Logans comment..nice tree fell! and of course Eli's final swoop on the stump.. thank goodness for a strong hitch...maybe 10' overhang daylight hours..thanks for sharing
How exciting!!!! It’s always exciting to watch you guys but I’m so excited to see you start framing. I’m sure I’m not as excited as you all are though!. See you next Sunday! 😊❤
Are you going to have to tarp your stash of milled lumber till it's time to actually use it, because of your rain storms! I came to tears and choked up about the offer of the biggest raspberry to a parent!!! And like it was no big deal to do this....Bless you parents and your children! I love your videos no matter the content. You could be boiling cactus or straightening old nails or something else and I would support your channel. Love from Central Oklahoma.
You enjoyed cutting and sawing while we loved your positive attitude. You mentioned the word character several times in your video mostly speaking about the logs and wood but I would say it is a wonderful metaphor for the way in which you and your family live each of your lives.
Hi guys in the UK an overhang between 2.0m 3.5 m is allowed but you must have a board attached to the end stating long load and must be lit at night. anything longer you must be accompanied by an agent to assist in getting you from AtoB and the police must be notified two days prior to the journey.
Great work! I look forward to seeing your drams to come into reality. With tree felling start with little one and build you skill level up. Don't buy steel wedges buy the plastic, if your chain grabs and kicks backward or you turn your cutting angle to much and strike the steel wedge, then yuo can right off the chain.
Beautiful logs I live in Idaho and I don’t think that’s legal here but by the way. I know that someone already commented on getting wedges, but I think you should have a hardhat because sometimes when you’re falling a tree you got top of the tree that may fall or fall off. They call them widowmakers. We just love watching you guys. Can’t wait till next week.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dead trees on my property were risky as the big straight ones would hold to the vey last. I had to make sure that it was a still day too as the breezes made them rock and pinch the bar. Yep wedges worked to help that. I enjoyed watching your videos, the family work, the resourcefulness and making things work for you with what you got. Nope, can’t tow a load like that in the land of Oz legally.
I am here in Arizona and having worked at Home Depot in the past loading lumber on vehicles... I believe the requirement for extending beyond your vehicle or trailer is to have a bright Red or orange flag attached to the furthest point from your vehicle... I could be wrong but that is how I have done it everywhere I lived.
Most jurisdictions want anything more than 18 inches past the bumper of the vehicle to have a bright red flag of some sort to notify other drivers of the potential hazard.
That was totally epic! I am glad everyone is safe. Every week you are one step closer to starting to build your home. I’m excited for your progress and can’t wait to see the new house. Blessings to your family.🙏🏾😍
In Australia with your setup that length isn’t legal plus we would have to put a flag or something on the end letting people know long load ,your so very lucky to have access to wood like that excellent progress mate
❤beautiful timber. Don’t think the overhang would be legal in Australia🙂. Love the children gauging their work intensity on the amount of dirt on their hands💖and totally agree👍 . Nice problem solving and team work. Great video, thank you🙏
3 steel wedges, a sledge hammer when felling large trees. Before you start cutting decide where you want it to fall and look up at the tree. Check to see if they tree is leaning towards or away from where you want it. Check for extra weight on one side or the other. Check for strong winds if any. Your pie cut and your straight back cut are key and those wedges. You'll be amazed at what those wedges can do. They can actually force the tree in the direction you want if your cuts are good. If you have to drop a large tree around structures you'll need a lot more experience. Just saying 😅. Good luck. We enjoy your videos. You all are doing a great job.
Every state has a law of no more than 4 feet overhang. That is a DOT law and is Federal. Hey better to ask for forgiveness vise permission right?...hahaha. Plus that wood is 35 lbs per square foot on average and I am quite certain that trailer was WELL overloaded for the weight as well...haha. Still you made it safe and not issues happened. Good to see all them awesome logs getting turned into some AMAZING lumber. Great work y'all!
Looking good! Great job on the beams. You may consider putting up a couple of solar floodlights around your sawmill. They're pretty reasonable now. Looking forward to the framing 👏🏻
Ingenuity was the play of the day. Prep work is important, once you get a flow going you don't want to stop to figure out a situation. Can't wait to see the beginning of your house.😊
We did have a red flag at the end. It was only seen for a split second when we were pulling out of the woods in the video. And I would say that is very important. Thanks 🙂
Hi Jacob & Natalie. Yes get some steel Wedges... in Australia you can only have 1200mm or 4ft over the trailer... And that one big beam is $1.800 in Aus .... you are doing a great job on your sawmill
Love seeing the collecting and milling of the wood, can only imagine the wood smell. What are the next steps for the well and have the chickens laid anymore eggs yet? ❤❤❤
Currently we are looking for a well pump that fits our needs. Hopefully we get that done soon. The chickens are doing great. We're up to 5 eggs a day. Thanks 😊
Sir, as I already suggested at least once: To make your life a lot easier, get yourself a second debarking tool. Almost the same than the one you already own but with a slightly bowed/concaved blade. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
Good morning are you folks doing today looks like you guys are on your way to get some fresh water for your house all right you folks have a good day and then❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not sure today. But, when I was younger there was a limit on how much a load could hang off and you had to put a bright red flag on the longest piece, in Virginia.
Yes and no. We've been offered sponsorships for solar before, but they haven't been quite right yet. And we're kind of picky when it comes to sponsors 😅.
Yeah that’s definitely illegal in all lower 48 states…🤣 But hey nobody got hurt and thank god you guy’s made it home safely and your family will always have that story to tell while your sitting on the porch late one evening watching the sunset 🌅 Plus you saved a ton of money on the lumber needed to build your house.
In the Netherlands, transporting goods in the manner you have done is not permitted due to danger. You may not exceed the weight of the trailer's loading capacity, longer loads may not extend more than 1 meter behind the trailer, otherwise you must display a warning sign, the load must be secured using lashing straps or other material, a net over the loading is mandatory etc etc. Long story short, no way. I am looking forward to the house build and what else you have planned.
Very awesome we are hoping to move up there very soon we have our double wide trailer up for sale right now do hoping we will sale it in the next month👍 hopefully i can find a nice little piece of property up there well as much as i can find for ad cheap as i can find it anyways.... Great job guys...I have a p.s lol if you ever need someone to help you cut or load any of those logs or lumber I would be very interested in helping you for free we'll not free but I would trade my work for wood ??? I am probably going to try and build my wife a little house up there we live in Yuma now but as soon as our house sells we are going to be moving up that way just let me know if you are looking for someone to help you with your work 👍...
26:53 In the Netherlands it would not be legal, maximum is 1 m behind back of the trailer, about 3 feet 4 inches. (And 16 feet, 5 m, from the center of the rear axle)
In AZ too. I’m pretty sure he knows that but didn’t obey the law for whatever reason. Red flag must be made visible on all items extending 3ft past the vehicle. I’m pretty certain the load is illegal to use that small trailer to haul a 27’ log. Very unsafe
@@Gardendreamsforme here the concern is to prevent some other vehicles from running into your load, depth perception being off. The car with the load is secondary.
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid sorry if I missed it. I was answering a prior comment. I think you guys and your family are great and having an amazing adventure.
I would encourage you to get at least 3 wedges for felling trees. A lot safer for you and a lot easier on your bar.
👍👍👍
👍
wow, what a lot of work/fun accomplishment...even in the storms...and through the night..the custom live edge....and the kids having a blast!!! nice find on the berries..yum!!! flippin' a log in the forest...awesome! love Logans comment..nice tree fell! and of course Eli's final swoop on the stump.. thank goodness for a strong hitch...maybe 10' overhang daylight hours..thanks for sharing
Great job on saving. Your tools a blessing. It's going to be a beautiful home for sure.
How exciting!!!! It’s always exciting to watch you guys but I’m so excited to see you start framing. I’m sure I’m not as excited as you all are though!. See you next Sunday! 😊❤
I’m here for the algorithm 😊, keep them coming.
You all are amazing 😊.
Are you going to have to tarp your stash of milled lumber till it's time to actually use it, because of your rain storms!

I love your videos no matter the content. You could be boiling cactus or straightening old nails or something else and I would support your channel. Love from Central Oklahoma.
Yes we have tarps. Thank you 😊
Wedges, an axe handy, face shield and cut the back cut flat to keep the hinge. You’re doing great and it’s going to be a fabulous home for you all!

"Totally epic" got a big smile from me. Love the work ya'll are doing.
you guys are amazing ,love you all ,& great hard work ,cannot wait to see this house coming together .
I love seeing the teamwork you and your wife do together, awesome
I'm in Pa. and that load would be fine with a flag. As long as it's secured! and not on a 4 lane!
It's legal if you don't crash someone or get caught ! My guess is U'all did a great haul this load.
Awesome savings!! 👍🏼😁

Extending the track should be very easy. My Dad designed them. Sawmills regular kind.
That was totally epic! I am glad everyone is safe. Every week you are one step closer to starting to build your home. I’m excited for your progress and can’t wait to see the new house. Blessings to your family.🙏🏾😍
As long as you tag the ends with a red warning, even a red cloth stapled on, generally you’re fine
Long hard work, and now framing begins, I know how happy you are , one hard working family, I can't wait for the next video 😀

Very enjoyable video, thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤
Great job you guys! Love watching your progress. How far do you have to drive with that load of wood? 😂
It was a little farther than normal. Probably less than a 2 hour drive coming back. Thanks 🙂
What a blessing the sawmill has been to you! Now, frame the house! more excitement ahead.
Nice that the county you live in will allow ungraded lumber in your build
Every state has a law of no more than 4 feet overhang. That is a DOT law and is Federal. Hey better to ask for forgiveness vise permission right?...hahaha. Plus that wood is 35 lbs per square foot on average and I am quite certain that trailer was WELL overloaded for the weight as well...haha. Still you made it safe and not issues happened.

The exciting stuff is starting for you guys. We'll done with the milling.
Eli ❤❤❤❤
Looking good! Great job on the beams. You may consider putting up a couple of solar floodlights around your sawmill. They're pretty reasonable now. Looking forward to the framing 👏🏻
Ingenuity was the play of the day. Prep work is important, once you get a flow going you don't want to stop to figure out a situation. Can't wait to see the beginning of your house.😊
You two work well together. You milled some beautiful beams
What about attaching a red flag or kerchief to the back end to alert oncoming drivers from the back???????
We did have a red flag at the end. It was only seen for a split second when we were pulling out of the woods in the video. And I would say that is very important. Thanks 🙂
Haven’t been able to watch in awhile, you’ve made great progress!! Really enjoyed today’s video!!
Beautiful pieces of wood
Good job on cutting of all the lumber for your house and what a huge savings and yes get yourself a set of wedges for cutting trees
Its really coming together 😊😊😊😊😊
Some awesome work… always a joy to watch.. Hey the music!
Great savings on those beams well done hard work but well worth the effort.
Wow, your house is going to look awesome, continued blessing 🙏. Can hardly wait till next week to see the framing begin.
Hi Jacob & Natalie. Yes get some steel Wedges... in Australia you can only have 1200mm or 4ft over the trailer... And that one big beam is $1.800 in Aus .... you are doing a great job on your sawmill
Wow, that's pricy. Thanks 🙂
Good to hear from you all.❤❤❤😍
In Michigan anything hanging out the back over 5 feet has to have red flag on it....then you can haul it
Awesome Family, Awesome video always enjoy watching your family/videos
In Texas you are allowed 6’ of overhand. I’m sure that with special permitting you could haul longer.
that is a impressive beam , you will have a awesome custom house
Love seeing the collecting and milling of the wood, can only imagine the wood smell. What are the next steps for the well and have the chickens laid anymore eggs yet? ❤❤❤
Currently we are looking for a well pump that fits our needs. Hopefully we get that done soon. The chickens are doing great. We're up to 5 eggs a day. Thanks 😊
What a great job cutting that long log 😮 wow ,nice job
Definitely not aloud in Western Australia. 😮
you’ll have the UA-cam police filling your comments! Wedges are a must.
You guys are beautiful people 😊love watching you guys play together 😊😊😊
WOW those log's are beautiful, Going to be a beautiful house! Love watching!
Yay can’t wait to see start framing 😊😊😊
Great job and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was curious as to how you planned on cutting the beam that was longer than your mill. Great work. Thanks.
Sir, as I already suggested at least once: To make your life a lot easier, get yourself a second debarking tool. Almost the same than the one you already own but with a slightly bowed/concaved blade.
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
I am so impressed with what you guys are able to do!! God is blessing you!!
Good morning are you folks doing today looks like you guys are on your way to get some fresh water for your house all right you folks have a good day and then❤❤❤❤❤❤
I could watch y"all mill wood every day
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Really enjoyed the video. Y'all have gotten so comfortable in front of the camera. It's like second nature to you now.
I would recommend a bit deeper notch and you might have had a little better luck with your drop next time. Other than that it is a learning curve.
Excellent
That is a beautiful peice of wood your house going to look stunning with lots of character ❤❤
Those beams are going to look great in the house Thanks for taking us along.
Epic!!! Kids called it.
😁
Not sure today. But, when I was younger there was a limit on how much a load could hang off and you had to put a bright red flag on the longest piece, in Virginia.
Great video!
Love it
These beams are awesome 👍😅
Amazing work again this week! Looking forward to watching the framing progress. Take care & stay safe!
In Texas, I believe a load can only extend 4 ft over a trailer AND must have a warning flag attached.
What a great job and saving!
Great wood! Back in Concho to work at my place.
in australia your only allowed a meter over hang
👍👍👍👍👍
Have you ever thought about doing a solar sponsership for lighting outside while you run sawmill? Street light style.
Your progress is amazing.
Yes and no. We've been offered sponsorships for solar before, but they haven't been quite right yet. And we're kind of picky when it comes to sponsors 😅.
Absolutely amazing
I say it's legal as long as you aren't stopped by police.😊
Yeah that’s definitely illegal in all lower 48 states…🤣 But hey nobody got hurt and thank god you guy’s made it home safely and your family will always have that story to tell while your sitting on the porch late one evening watching the sunset 🌅 Plus you saved a ton of money on the lumber needed to build your house.

I am looking forward to the house build and what else you have planned.
i believe anything 3’ hanging over needs flagged, and i’m not sure the length but at some point it has to be lighted.
Definately to long for a trailer here in the UK.
Here it's 4 ft over
In France, no more than 3 meters.
The view looks absolutely magical
Very awesome we are hoping to move up there very soon we have our double wide trailer up for sale right now do hoping we will sale it in the next month👍 hopefully i can find a nice little piece of property up there well as much as i can find for ad cheap as i can find it anyways....

4 feet is the max in Arizona. But from experience, they really dont enforc it.
I live in Michigan and anything that sticks out longer than 3’ from a trailer or vehicle needs a red flag on the end. That’s it.
In AZ too. I’m pretty sure he knows that but didn’t obey the law for whatever reason. Red flag must be made visible on all items extending 3ft past the vehicle. I’m pretty certain the load is illegal to use that small trailer to haul a 27’ log. Very unsafe

@cheriosmith Yes, we did have a red flag on it. It was easy to miss, but it was there in the video. Thanks 😁
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid sorry if I missed it. I was answering a prior comment. I think you guys and your family are great and having an amazing adventure.
Nope to hauling that, but then again, I live in a city
You do know they have wall jacks for jacking up walls right? Hell they even have remote controlled ones now.
