This all started about 2 years ago when a dead standing cedar tree fell and landed on the roof of my sawmill shed, smashing the roof in, breaking the back window, and leaving me with a tree to clean up. This is a unique type of cedar - it has no bark on it, no limbs, and is blackened as if it was burned (but it hasn't been). As I started bucking it up, the thought crossed my mind about tossing it on the mill to see what it would be like, and I was blown away by how good the wood still was. Not only that, it was actually the most beautiful cedar I'd ever seen! I milled it up to keep both live edges intact, and this all got me thinking and wondering what it would look like as siding material!
The first structure to side on the cliff was my little shed I build, which ended up turning into a little camp shelter for me. This shed would allow me to stay overnight on location to allow me more time to work out there, as this property is a long way away from home property. I loved the look of this siding, so I knew it would also be what I would use on the actual cabin as well.
I do have some of this siding already out on location, but because I am still not 100% decided on how I am going to install it (vertically or horizontally), I wanted to have more on hand just in case I need it.
I'd like to continue gathering up as much of this cedar as possible, especially the stuff on the ground so that I can get it and use it before it rots.
Does anyone know why this cedar is like this? I think someone said it's a type of fungus that attacks the tree, but I can't seem to find out anything for myself on this. 🤷🏻♀️ Anyway, if you find this stuff and have a sawmill, definitely mill some up!!
I also put my little battery chainsaw to the test, and man that little saw kicks butt!
We have more bad news for Lenny - honestly, that poor little doggy just can't get a break. It's one thing after another for him and my heart is hurting for the guy right now. 💔 I will update his condition in a future video.
Thanks for watching and see you in the next video!

🙏 for Lenny. ❤
I like you, you're a hard-working woman and you're cute.
I hate that good people get caught up in scams. I bet nobody scams the Mafia or the cartel. It's people that work hard, and wouldn't hurt a soul that get scammed.
Poor lenny get well soon little buddy 🐕
where out of the country are you going Michelle?
I LOVE the Photo of you on the Saw Mill. Perfect♥♥♥♥♥
Michelle, Thanks for fessing up to being scammed and turning it into a learning experience and Public Service Announcement (PSA) for all of us.
Just when I thought I couldn’t like any more than I do, I find out you play hockey 🏒❤️
le Canadiens
She is Canadian don’tcha know. But yeah that is cool!!
@@rcclassiccrawlers4368 I am aware.
I was going to write something similar but you beat me to it!
Loved watching your roll-play. lol
Prayers for Leni!
Thank you, it takes a HUGE person to admit to being a victim of a scam, my hat is off to you !!!!
Tons of things I’D LOVE TO SAY!!!
I’m just gonna stick with “WOW” just “WOW”!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏻for Lenny👍🏻
Michelle, I am 77 and have been active my whole life in and out of construction, running (quit that 25 years ago) hiking, you name it. I live now with all the aches from past excessive physical labor. And now I have a mini-excavator to do the hard work. By noon I’m ok but you know what I’m talking about. So PLEASE, forget your pride or your time schedule and use all those wonderful machines you have. When we are young we are not bulletproof. Take it slow, use the machines. When you are in your 70’s and still an active person, you will be glad you did.
agree....worked with chain saws for most of my life....there wasn't anything physical I was scared of. I still am active however take many supplements and build sets for a theatre company building sets....I'm 72 and retired yet I have a lot of issues now.....had to stop playing my accordion 3 years ago because of a worn out rotator cuff. Rehab is slow at 72 however I'm back on track again and playing up to two hours a day....but yeah, your injuries creep up on you. Now i put in a 4-5 hour shift and I'm pretty much done.....used to work 14 hours a day climbing mountains and cutting underbrush with axes and chain saws. Michelle you are a physical specimen beyond compare....however we certainly aren't bullet proof.
thanks Michelle for the info on delete me....will definitely look into this as I have been scammed as well
Hey, Michelle. I think it is impressive that were willing to admit that you got scammed. The bad guys are so good at making things seem legit. And what really sucks is they prey on older people, (which of course you are not). In my line of work with my regular job, I see it all the time. Thank you for presenting detailed information on the subject! Great job with the video!
Thank you. It’s definitely not something I’ve wanted to talk about - Steve and one other person are the only ones I told, except now everyone who will see this video.
They were very good at what they were doing, and yes, it breaks my heart that the elderly get taken advantage of the most in these situations. I was very lucky.
All of us who played hockey do the 'sniff' test as we pulled out the equipment from the bag... It's a habit which is hard to break.
SO pleased you are mentioning the battery-powered chainsaw in positive terms; Stihl, Greenworks, the brand doesn't matter, just that more folks begin to switch and use them!
We've got an 'old-man' with health problems; our Aussie-shep is 13 now, (or 14, he was a rescue, and the shelter wasn't certain of his age) unfortunately, he's declining as well. Our mission is to make his days happy and safe for as long as possible.
Batten down the equipment soon, Old Man winter comes quickly to the Koots.
Cheers from a transplanted West Kootenay guy now in the Willamette Valley.
So many fun toys! Bobcat, accessories, wood mill, chain saw. I wanna Play! Um, why is Steve in the dull blade section? LOL
That last beam from the first log would make a beautiful, natural edge mantle
Awww, Lenny… poor fella. ❤
I am so glad to see you wearing protection for you eyes, ears and breathing. You are a very good example to others. Where necessary a kneeling pad or knee pads will save those joints that could take 20 years to develop arthritis.
Great advise to being extra cautious on dealing with internet crooks. You have saved hundreds of others the same pain.
By far my favorite thumbnail!!! If woodland mills would use this picture they would easily sell a million mills! ❤
At least Lenny was able to open his eye again. Sad to hear about the glaucoma though I will send a payer up that leeny won't have to loose an eye. His little tail wag when you asked if he could do that was so sweet. It made me think that I bet that even though Lenny couldn't open his eyes he was still feeling loved by you and Steve and that was his way of letting you know that he loves that you two love him so much and are willing to do what it takes to humainly help him live his best life. You, Steve and your guys dogs and cat are so blessed to have each other. Oh and with you talking about not having a wood working shop to work on projects in the winter made me think that maybe building a shop for that purpose should be your next build. Question is where would be a good place for a shop?🤔 Thank you Michelle for sharing another video with us. May y'all have a good one. Have fun take care
😢 yeah I hate it when things go wrong with our doggies😢 and learning he looks like a trooper😊 wagging his tail he's showing you he loves you❤
And now we get to see both of you picking up the boat another adventure❤😂 and again thank you for all your hard work 🇨🇦 getting your videos together😂😮😊
I hope Lenny’s doc visit went well. Your whole pack is lucky to have you guys so willing to make their lives comfortable and loved.
Thank You, for being such a kind and caring person-some people would just put them down when things get tough.
My pets always end up being family and treated with unconditional love and care as family and not just pets.
Hi Michelle. You and your videos are by far the favorite videos I watch. Love ypur personnality and humor. Every video is always interesting and edoted to perfection. I am praying for Lennies outcome to be good. But he has you and Steves Love...he will be fine. Stay safe and happy. G
Wish i had half of your energy Michy 😄
Hope Lenny recovers soon, look after yourself, pushing logs around can wait until you and Steve get back from overseas ✨👍💃🌲🌠🎉💫
What a week.... Appreciate how positive you are and stay in the face of adversity..
Hi Michelle. Nice job moving and milling those logs. You get right into and enjoy every challenge you undertake. Sorry to hear about Lenny. Even in all his pain, he still showed how happy he was to see you. He gives back all the love you give him. I hope he will be ok. 🙏🙏🙏
Aww dear Lenny ❤ warm thoughts & hugs to the sweet boy. I hope everything is o.k with your boy 🙏
Your resourcefulness and tenacity is abundant as your joyful energy. We're hoping the best for Lenny.
So funny to see you do the “sniff check” on your gear as you go thorough the bag - I still play 3 times a week and my wife thinks I’m crazy for doing the same thing!! Love this channel and your independent spirit - keep it going! 🥅 🔨👍🏻
Pecky cedar makes some cool stuff. I remember 4x4s made from it.
Scammers are scum, brave of you to go public with it I think many victims don't, it's defo a huge problem. Thanks for the DeleteMe info. Sorry Lenny is having a bad time, keep your chin up xxx.
I see a timber frame workshop in your future ! Prayers for Lenny 😊
I just want to send love and well wishes to Lenny! Thank you Michelle, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the timber ❤🙏
hope the pup is ok soon , fingers crossed , enjoy your trip , interesting video .
Rarely do I laugh out loud watching various creators. This one had me splitting my sides. The dull and sharp photos, then the full body log rolling show. Girls are so different! The comedy in your productions is greatly appreciated! ❤❤😂
So sorry to hear about Lenny. Good thing he’s got a great Momma to take care of him. Yes please let us know how he makes out.
I’ve got a 12 in DeWalt electric saw. Love it too. Light weight and powerful for its size. Can’t beat them.
Thanks for what you do and stay safe lady!
Sorry to hear about Lenny. I pray that he does okay. I see you got you leg presses in moving that log. Stay young as long as you can. I loved working out when I was in my 20's and 30's. Now all I get in is a lot of walking with my dogs. One will be 15 in December and the other one will be 3 in Dec. Also sorry about the scam.
Poor Lenny; Glaucoma, I have it my self, controlled through Laser treatment every 4yrs or so to keep the pressure down; and that is the key to keep the pressure down.. Brady sends his best for all the dogs, specially his favorite Clyde🥰
So sorry about Lenny, I hope all goes well for him and you both, really enjoy your videos
He wagged his tail! What a wonderful dog; hope all is well
Michelle I’m like unCAcad and only 72. Worked sitting at a desk all my life, built my house, walked a lot, but when 25 intercepted a car who ran over the red light. This week going hospital for a heart operation so take care. Whatever you do, it is great.
I SAY IT EVERYTIME I WATCH YOUR VIDEO'S "YOUR AN AMAZING WOMAN" YOU WORK MEN INTO THE GROUND, THEY COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH YOU. I LOVE WATCHING YOU.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
I love you videos ❤. You’re such an energetic and lovely woman…
Sharp and dull 14:47 🤣 had to stop the video for a moment to laugh! Poor Steve. It's really amazing what you've accomplished in the last few months! I also always admire your love for the dogs... so heartwarming! Keep it up ! I love your content so much 👍🏼 Greetings from Germany
praying for you and Lenny 🐕🐕 give them peace and comfort, amen
I don't comment often. But allways impressed with you and your husbands work ethic and skills. Thanks for sharing.
That cedar was beautiful....respirator with cedar...
Poor Lenny...Im sorry for you all.
Gone from the PNW for less than a month and I miss it so.
Scammers suck.
Blade identifier is quite creative...
Once again another amazing video. Your determination is inspiring ..
I really appreciate you being so open and honest, I know it is so hard to tell people that we have been taken. I have been taken more than once in my life, it is always personally embarrassing to me and very difficult to share with anyone. I am so sorry that this has happened to you.
Hey Michelle,
Nice job on the wood milling! Can't believe how much energy you throw into everything! Well done!
Such a shame about Lenny, poor little fella! Really wish his luck would improve with his health! Glad you and Steve are looking after him best as you can! Fingers crossed they can do something for his eyes! 🙏
Have a great week! 👍🏴🇬🇧
one can never have enough wood!
Hi Michelle, I am really spoiled watching your channel, I find you more entertaining than most tv programs, hope you come back soon, I’d love to see you finish your cliff side cabin!
Prayers for your sweet Lenny ❤🙏❤🙏❤
I'm really impressed with the way you seemingly can tackle anything.
❤ gotta love that thumbnail. Gorgeous and enjoy your video's.
Lightning struck trees have a lot of character especially the grain where the electricity travels through the grain.
Girl in the world of thumbnail pics you are the best .You definitely have talent .
Love when you impersonate Matt Reisinger. "LET'S GET GOING " 😂
Once again, I am waiting, desperately seeking to live vicariously through you on your seafaring journey. I can’t wait for you to start. I will be praying for Lenny.
You are an amazing person!💕
Given the hard-working, hands-on, outdoor-loving, dog-caring, up-for-anything Canadian lady you are, why am I not surprised you were/are also a great hockey player?!!
Beautiful property to just go out and get a log for your cool projects. Thanks for the scam warnings and best of luck with Lenny. Hope he is better soon.
The struggles with keeping your information safe is very tough. Thanks for sharing your story. Hope things go well with Lenny. The slabs are definitely very nice pieces! Looking forward to see what you do with those.
Prayers for Lenny!
It's great to see a lady running a mill, making some lumber, doing good productive work. Thanks for a good video.
Great watching you enjoy your adventure so much.
Stay positive with your hurdles we all have them
... awwww! I feel so sorry for Lenny ...! Let's hope the best - I feel sad seeing him suffer! I am with you all!
Greetings from Germany fromthe silver fox, David 😉💜🐕🦺🦊
Always love your work and videos , stay safe and careful . Please know we love y’all.
Wonderful video and great narration and explanation of the process!!
Hi Michelle, Everyone. You can get that wood to glimmer like a showpiece using a super sharp/ "smoothing" hand plane. It doesn't take long. Nothing make wood sparkle like a hand plane with a super polished blade edge. The mirror finish on the apex gets transferred to the wood. No sandpaper will ever come close to the finish you get with a sharp plane. If you try it, you are gonna like it. It feels so good as it glides and slices. It's hard to stop once you get into it. Making shavings is so much fun.
The idea is to use the fine abrasives on the plane blade and then the blade on the wood. It makes the wood come to life in insane ways. I have found myself staring at even pieces of humble construction lumber in awe after taking a paper thin shaving off to reveal the hidden luster of it's inner structure. Oiling it will take everything to another level.
Ask and I can respond here with some detailed instructions on how to get the glimmer. Rob Cosman has lots of youtube vids on planing that would be way better at teaching than anything I can say. He taught me how to make a plane dance. There are lots of others. Paul Sellers, wood by wright....
You will need a half decent plane, don't impulse buy the cheapest one on ebay(or princess auto!!) and expect it to actually work as a tool. Ask me how I found that out, twice ;) Wooden body planes can be awesome and cheap but you have to learn to use them. I have one, don't use it as often. There's a learning curve. Busy bee tools has some that look nice, for all of us here in Canada. Haven't tried one yet.
Many people don't understand that we can love our doggies like our own children.We have two small dogs that we love.I hope yours pulls through okay Michysoss.All doggies deserve the best care we can get them and give them.Good Luck
Loved the music while you were laying on the ground trying to move that log after chainsawing it.... Total comedy! Then you looked up at the camera like "OK what do I do now?"
Glad to hear that you do take the tension off of the blade when not using it. I'm a woodworking machine technician and I do recommend to my customers who have bandsaws that they back off the tension if they are not going to use the machine for a few days. While I don't think that you have to do so every day, it is a good habit to have if you don't know when the next time you are going to cut because you could forget that you left the blade tensioned and next thing you know a month has gone by and leaving that tension on for that long without running it can cause problems.
Your work ethic is just like mine with all the physical labor. Working alone, you just have to do what you have to do. Only thing is, at 59, I sure can feel it by the end of the day! I see a building project in your future in the form of a woodworking shop! CARPE DIEM! The news at the end about Lenny was not as bad as I feared. That was a relief. He did look a lot better than earlier too. Hope everything with him will be okay.
Bless his little heart. 😢 I hope it's something simple.NNTR
Good morning Michelle, Previously I told u that the Stihl electric chainsaw would become a favorite for you. I have cut down trees a little smaller than the one you cut up on the ground with my battery saw. As I said before, it’s become my go to chainsaw, my Stihl MS 270 Farm Boss which I loved to use has become too heavy and hard for me to control safely at my age. I also carry chain bar oil and an extra battery when using my battery chainsaw, especially went Jeeping in the back country. I am so sorry that Lenny is having all of his problems, wish the best for him. Your channel is 1 of 3 of my favorite YT videos sites to watch to relax. With all these wars going on, it never ends.
I can only hope, should I ever require a caregiver, that i get someone as thoughtful n caring as you (two). I'll be sending Lenny some Good Vibrationzzz. Thanx for sharing. 💚
Prayers for Lenny. Can’t wait to see what construction project you dream up for the slabs. You guys take care and be safe. Love you all.
All I can say and do is prayers for Lenny. May the doctors come up with a solution to slow down this problem. And for you Beautiful, you have to be a vert powerful and strong lady, moving those heavy logs around. Your leg muscles must be powerful and big to handle everything you do daily. You are a Beautiful Wow Lady. Hugs and prayers from Santa Barbara. 💕🍷🌹😘🙏✝😇🤗
Watching Michelle "playing tug of war with logs" reminds me of something my mother used to say... that when I did what Michelle did, she said I was doing a lazy man's load... trying to do in one trip instead of two trips. Bad things often happen with a lazy an's load
!
Your stock just skyrocketed knowing you play/played hockey hahaha. It is true there is a big difference between being in shape and hockey shape. Aside from cardio you use muscles you forgot you had. I always said there is nothing like a loose puck to push ya even if you have no gas left in the tank. I quit for 11 years, I stay in shape, run etc but man o man...core, thighs, shoulders, and butt came back to life in a hurry in the form of pain after jumping back into it for me. Couple of weeks of drop ins I joined beer league and everything comes back...even the scoring touch :) Safe sea travels for you, Steve and crew on bringing the boat home. Hurry back as I started watching your stuff because of the winter and mountain scenery and love to see more from this winter :)
I too was scammed to the tune of 5000.00. Thought I could detect a scam, but they are so, so evil in their methods. You are not alone!
Michelle, I'll have to admit you do have unique ways of moving logs around. Several of your techniques I've never seen or tried before! Please keep us updated on Lenny. Hope you have a good week. Thanks for Sharing!
Of all your skills - learning that you play hockey - sealed the deal for me - you are amazing!
You've brought it up to top notch when you get on top of it!
“Or can you?” Followed by the best music of the year. Also, time to build a shop next year.
❤❤❤ to your boy Lenny. He looks like such a sweet soul.
Great work! God Bless Lenny! What a sweet loving pup.
I just love Clyde he reminds me of my 13 year old American Bulldog I rescued named Monti who loves to frolic around my cabin land 🥰
I know how you feel. My dog Mickey has been having problems one after another. Everyday I am in tears for him. Just like right the tears are flowing. I'm praying for him and you. WE have to be as strong as we can for them. They are are Kids So Sorry for this for both of you.
Be proud to admit it because you can help people learn good things Lenny
So sorry to hear the news on Lenny. Prayers that he recovers.
The blonde girl is a good worker.i have two of those saws n really like em.when the saw isn't cutting good like it was ,it's the oil every time unless you get in the dirt.
Bless you both for your dedication to your rescue critters.
Laughed out loud on the Dull and Sharp section of the shed. LOL. Fingers crossed for Lenny.
I’m so sorry to hear the news of Lenny’s eye, you love him so much.❤️
I used to think the same way and had a major operation to my right shoulder, a slap repair. After the operation and its intense pain, I realized work smarter not harder and don't get lazy. It could cost you. Now that I'm older I have lots of machines to help me on my 4 acres.
You need to do the stationary bike when you get home from hockey (or any type of workout) to prevent lactic acid build up. I do it after hockey (10 minutes) works every time!
The sharp and dull picture indicators are just wicked, Michelle 🤣Prayers for Lenny. Hope he gets relief.
I love your outlook on life and the way you take on the world.
Nothing like a good workout with a nice piece of hard morning wood!!!👍🏻🤗🤗🤗😘
you have such an interesting life. Woodcraft, sports and a huge heart for your dogs !
So special the fur babies. ❤
