Dare to be Different! | Cedar siding begins on the cliff cabin

- Hi everyone, I am back! We are back! Feels good to be home, as always, but we're both sick now 🤪
I managed to rip out and start the siding just before becoming quite sick, which is my current status.
Like everything, I'm learning this process as I go, which means I'll be making many mistakes along the way. Hopefully I sort most of them out on this first wall, but all walls are different, so who knows. 🤷🏻♀️
So far, I'm loving the look of it. This cedar has created an itch I must scratch, and I have to know what it's gonna look like. Another question or thought I have moving forward is how to finish the siding - I will bring that up maybe next video and see what I receive in the comments in that regard.
Anyway, welcome back to the cliff! Clearly I have a lot more work to do to get this cabin closer to being finished.
Gotta keep plugging away!
Thanks for watching, and see you in the next one! 💥

(Oh, and I never did participate in the 'shorts' video thing while away. Sorry for those who might have been looking forward to that, but the one day I was planning to film while skiing, I never ended up skiing that day!)
The vertical format is definitely the right choice. It’s beautiful!
❤ hello 😊
Agreed. I wouldn't have thought so but seeing it now and it looks great.
Creativity and perfection will never agree. Creativity should always win. Keep true to yourself.
Yes but it was just a project that you have just about finished you should be proud of you self
As a contractor for many years, I like your problem solving skills and I think you did a great job. Love the look so far. Enjoy that gorgeous view.
Vertical is the bomb! It looks fantastic to my eyes! And you are very precise which makes the whole project so professional! I admire your skills: my wife is a nurse and am a pharmacist; neither one of us could come close to your artistic talent! Thanks for your videos!
Hi Michelle, good to see back safe and sound. I think your decision to go vertical is the right one, It is looking awesome. Take care of yourself and I hope you don't get too sick.
Welcome home. Your pictures are incredible. Thankful that you are home safe. Your siding is terrific. Wishing you and Steve a gentle virus, restful time together and a complete recovery. Peace princess
Good to see you back on the cliff, and the vertical siding is looking awesome. Thank you for sharing. Get well Steve , and you stay well also.
Shows like this are so validating. As a union Carpenter we are really expensive, and we have many years of experience. That prevents us from installing siding like this wrong and keeps us from having to redo things or leaving them wrong.
That cabin is a dream cabin away from home . So beautiful and peaceful you are doing a fantastic job .
Michelle the vertical siding looks fantastic! Definitely the right choice. Hopefully Steve is feeling better and if you have gotten it you feel better quickly as well❣️
The Lady of the Lake is back safe and sound thank the Lord, tho sorry to hear about Steve and your own up and coming illness, I'm sur e you will survive as you never fail to do..........Love the siding so far, maybe soon this project will end, tho it won't take you long to begin another, and we will all continue to follow every project you take on........Take care gorgeous, and regards to Steve.......😍😘
Thats a million dollar cup of coffee the only thing better would to be able to enjoy it with a beautiful woman who literally built this with her blood sweat and tears two thumbs up lady keep doing you.
Welcome Home Michelle, the vertical siding is looking fantastic! You need a Milwaukee battery operated siding nailer, to help you move along.
Hope Steve and yourself are feeling better soon.
Happy to see you both had a good trip. Awesome view hope Johnny okay if that's him and your husband feeling better. Love your work on installing the cedar board's great idea. Be safe Best regards 💗
I think you're doing absolutely awesome Michelle ❤ Trials and tribulations and making it look just like you want it is all that matters when the finished product looks as pretty as it does already 😊 Thank you for sharing and I hope Steve gets well soon and I hope you don't catch it
As usual, informative, entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you! Shout out to Steve...hope you're feeling better! Take care...❤❤❤
good day glad to see no broken bones and your healthy. lemon juice and water helps . happy to see you🙂
Perseverance is essential...this you have for sure. I agree with the vertical siding very cool.
Glad you are back and moving forward with the cabin

Michelle, your determination and creativity shine through in every project you tackle. Despite the challenges, you always find a way to push through and create something truly unique. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks once again for a wonderful video Michelle, so glad to hear you and Steve had a wonderful time in Switzerland, I must say the siding looks wonderful. I like it I think you on the right road anyway have a great day and a wonderful week, and I hope you feel better.

❤ hello 😊
Yaaay! Michelle is back! I hope your trip was graaand! I wasn't sold on the vertical, in the beginning, but I am now, I think it looks great!!
It's looking good glad to see you back safe and back at it. Hope quick recovery for Steve and you don't get it. Seeya on next one 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks real good!!!
I am glad that you are back. It is always a great day when I can sip my coffee and watch your cabin come together. You do great work. Thank you for sharing your journey.
❤ hello 😊
I from Vietnam 🫱🫲
It looks great. You were right about the vertical siding.
Welcome back Michele. Looks great. I also like the board over rough cut siding. Did my garage with it. Keep up the good work and stay safe lady!
Hi Michelle - The vertical board and batten was absolutely the right choice for the cabin. Looks amazing! Regards, Randy in Arizona, USA
As you stated Michell you want what you want and the progress proves that you are getting the results you desire. Keep pushing forward. Good job.
"Things that make you go, hmmm." Love your whimsical creative process.❤
Vertical siding for the win. You ‘daring to be different’ is why I enjoy watching your videos so much. Keep following your instincts; they are smart 😊
Thanks for the video! I hope you and Steve feel better double quick. 🐾🍸
All I know is I'm 73 years old and I am amazed at everything you're able to do you have done a wonderful job can you do terrific work and take on an amazing challenge love your channel love your show wish you well and keep up the good work you're doing great
Hey Kiddo....glad your back safely.... I really like the vertical RB&B it looks very nice... good job your doing fine.
I came across your channel a few months back when i was researching woodland mills saw mills. I stumbled across your blade sharpening video. Anyways i purchased the 122 mill as the wood i get in the yukon isnt big enough to justify a larger mill.
Your building style is quite similar to mine. Ive always got somewhat of a good plan and a vision but thats about it. Ive always been that way. I start building and kind of plan as i go. It always works out and im always learning as i go. Youve got a great skillset and the fact your always wanting to learn and figure things out is all you really need. And some good tools always helps. At the end of the day be proud of your accomplishments and dont stop building. I look forward to your weekly videos. They calm me down after the fresh week of depressing garbage thats going on around us all.
Lol....the reason I decided to commemt and almost forgot to was the vertical siding is a solid choice. Im glad you decided to go that route as thays how i planned on siding my cabin. I think it looks awesome so far. I wish i had cedar up here but spruce will do for this guy.
Keep milling keep building and keep posting. Thanks for the content.
Love the look of cedar, some quick tips that might help your next walls; battens should only be fastened on one side to prevent tension/compression from splitting boards or pulling fasteners.
Strapping should be beveled on the top edge to make water run to the outside.
Finishing cedar; if you use a product that creates a film on the surface it will have limited durability flaking/scaling , but any sort of penetrating oil avoids this and can be easily reapplied.
Try to find something with copper naphtholate or other preservatives and UV blocking. it will change the colour slightly but add a lot of protection. Any effective treatment will add colour, it's unavoidable.
❤ hello 😊
Your siding looks fantastic. I like your dogs and the love and care you give them.
You had it right the first time, no need to change it. Looks really great, yep, sometimes you just getter done. You can only get so many projects out of one lifetime so don't dilly dally. :)
❤ hello 😊
I've loved watching you struggle over all the myriad decisions that have to be made during this project. Mostly because I just built a cabin in southern Ohio and have gone through so much of the same tortuous decisions! Over so many little and big things.
As far as the vertical siding goes, I build a cabin on Vancouver Island in the mid 70's and did the same live edge board on batten. Love it.
I've loved your project and story telling. That view from the cliff is breathtaking too!
I like the vertical as well :) One thing I learned when working on cars, mostly paint or body work, always do the passenger side first. That way whenever I walk up to the car I don't have to see the flaws I learned from on the other side. You mainly see the driver side so work everything out on the other side. It's not a bad idea wether it's old cars or cute cabin siding..
I know - but that’s the one side that will make the most difference at the start, and I’m kinda getting impatient with this cabin build! 🤪
Well I think it looks great. It’s going to give you years of enjoyment and will probably outlive you. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Well I am no builder, and I know nothing about aesthetics, but in my humble opinion, that vertical siding looks FABULOUS...
I really enjoy your shows. I don’t know how you have so much energy. Awesome.
What a view! I can imagine having my morning coffee on that porch!
Wow what an amazing view of the mountains..hope Steve and everyone gets better asap. Peace ✌️ love ❤️ and harmony from maryland
Very beautifully done leading drip edges on that classy looking window. I luv it!❤
Hi Michelle, Keep up the good work. The siding is looking awesome!
❤ hello 😊
Hi Michelle. Glad you stuck with the vertical boards. It looks amazing! Good you made it home safe.
Michy looks great, I'm so happy you dared to be different.
In life, we don't learn as much if we don't allow ourselves to think outside of the box and risk learning something new from our adventures and experience.
Well done hope Steve starts feeling better and you don't contract the flu too.
Blessings
Cass
It is coming along Michelle - the error on top should be easy to fix. The corner should go up to the rafter but you could fill it in instead.
It looks great, and it will shed water.... Welcome home!
ALWAYS GREAT TO WATCH YOU, AND YOUR PROGRESS. THANK YOU!
The cabin will be STUNNING once fully sided!! Trees grow vertically, and the live edge siding will blend into the forest, while still being visually offset from said trees...great job Michelle!! Jp, NW Indiana!
Outstanding exterior siding. Beautiful build 👍👏🏻🚜
I know it’s all relative but I envy your patience. Being a welder for 40 years I’ve never had the patience for wood even though I love the look. I think the vertical looks amazing.
I love the view from your cabin ! It's absolutely stunning. I would take in a few moments everyday to enjoy it 😊.
Hope you’re both feeling better
That's going to look so beautiful!
Glad to see you back without any casts! Vertical is looking good, perhaps it's because its the way trees grow. Keep up the good work.
Missed you my friend. Looking good on the siding. Hope y'all feel better soon.
Peace and love, Tim
It looks great so far and you've figure out how to get around the obstacles you've encountered and you'll continue to. Looks like a great vacation. Thanks for the video.
You need an oscillating multi tool. Also just add a piece to the front of the sill to extend it out. Looks great!
I actually have one out there! 🤪
I admire you so much!! You have so mutch strength!!keep it up Mitchy. Greetings and BB love from Crete!!love you!!!!
Glad to see you are both back safe and sound, and you both enjoyed your holiday, , That is going to look 👀 amazing, I think the neck of installing live edge boards is the Top and tail them , so narrow at the top then narrow at the bottom on the next one, and it is definitely more time-consuming, as if you’re doing it horizontal you just do your pieces first and then cut your infill to length,
From what I’ve seen over the years the way you’re doing, it does look a lot better , more rustic looking, 👀 😂,
“Taking the way of the siding less traveled!”…looks great! 😎👍
Nice to see you back. Listen to your brain, it is your good advisor :) The siding looks great.
Michelle, glad to have you back. I didn't think I would like the vertical board and bat but once you did part of it I can really see a great look that you are going for. Looking forward to your next "episode". Thanks for Sharing!
Welcome home. Give Steve plenty of warm soup.
What a Great Look going Vertical with the Siding. Your 2-dimensional application and keeping the tree's natural shape make it look like the trees are again standing in the forest. 🫡
Exactly!! 💝
Wow @michygoss7148 this turned out so beautiful 🤩😍🤩
Around 14:00, please imagine the stadium with your happy subscribers cheering for how great your cabin is starting to look. Hope you do not catch that flu after all, or if you do, get better soon!
It's looking great so far, sister! Great work! You are an inspiration. If I had a tenth of your energy, I wouldn't know what to do with myself!
Hey Michelle, I get sick often when the weather is below 50F. My cats are allowed to go out through an open window with a hole in cardboard covering it. I hang a heavy curtain in the door opening to that room to limit drafts. I have to keep my shoulders covered and my feet on a heating pad or I get sniffles and sneezing. My meds (morphine 30mg., hydrocodone 10-325 & nortriptyline 100mg.) make me too hot or too cold as time wears on. I have a voice controlled fan I use to cool off then. I can't go out when the sun is out due to too many radiation treatments (27 in 8 months). I find that chicken soup really does wonders to keep me healthy. I hope both of you get well soon. I feel sick a lot due to taking Xtandi, which ruins my apatite quite often.
❤ hello 😊
@@Truongthikimcuong92 hello
@@smarthome2660 nice to meet you ❤️❤️❤️
love the look of the siding, you enjoy it too so its ok to take your time doing it. you can always hide the top part by installing soffit. hope you enjoyed your trip and not get sick either. look forward to your next video.
Sunday morning wouldn’t be complete without watching mitchygoss, and Itchyboots! The cabin looks amazing! You did a great job!
Yes, back at the cabin. I love it give those dogs smooches because they’re so cute❤😂
I love the way your laying the siding! And that music you had playing in the back ground! Wow! The big band stuff , and the guitar, softly website! ❤
Must admit, love your choice of music.
Another great video and wonderful progress on that beautiful cabin! You have done a phenomenal job but then again you always do! Thanks for bringing us in for a glimpse into your life! Hope this finds you and Steve both fully recovered or at least on the road to it! Blessings to both of you for the week ahead!
You make my Sundays wonderful.
Really nice, that siding looks mighty spiffy! Really original and unique.
You never cease to amaze, Michy. I am begining to think you might be amazing. Aren't all flus viral? Speedy revovery to you!
I was really just eluding to Covid without wanting to say Covid. Haha. We both have it now 😷
@@michygoss7148 that really sucks my friend. Much Love
@@MrTimNed it’s ok - I was much sicker when I got it in Japan 🥴. I’m feeling improved already!
@@michygoss7148 Oh, you poor things, speedy recovery to you both!
Morning coffee and a wonderful view from your deck,enjoy your day.👍🏝️🇨🇦
I love that you're doing vertical and in the end it's your cabin who cares what other people's opinions are.
The vertikal sidings you did is really awesome. I'm glad you sticked to that decission. The look of it is very spot on.
Thanks for the video. Great content!! :)
Michy, I'm happy you are home safe from your adventure. I really love the "look" of the vertical siding. It makes your cabin seem to have grown up out of the cliff like the trees around you. Well done you!
Thanks girl!! I really like it too, and just had to know what it would look like!!
Two words and they need repeating..."That View, uhg, That view, that view, THAT VIEW"!!
A RAILING, A RAILING, A RAILING!!
@@jakester455 100%, when Michelle backs up, on that deck, i lose more fingernail
@@barryhoneycutt3894 But you never hear about utubers who fall off of cliffs although I can watch too much of that.
Mitchy or the country😂
That arse, that arse, that arse....
Glad to see you both are home safe and sound, hope Steve gets well soon. You made the right decision
Where have you been beautiful it seems like months since you last did a video I can’t cope without seeing you precious one ❤
Just over a week ago I posted a video!!
@@michygoss7148 I wish you would do one every day 😁❤️❤️
The B&B look fabulous. Can't wait to see it finished.
Nice safety glasses
A lot more time consuming, but I agree with you on the vertical siding, it’s going to be gorgeous when you’re done with the complete cabin!
I see you're still being a rebel. No railing over there. Safety first. Tsk Tsk! Remember how you drop tools down the hill? other stuff could fall down the hill too without a railing, you know. :)
It's good to have you home...Funny. To see you cold when I'm looking at 98° today, in Phoenix...Sure missing the PNW.
Vertical, horizontal, diagonal...do what you want. Looks great.
Take 2 aspirin and drink your fluids....that will be a $20 co- pay...× 2. I'm including Steve.
Geez, for safety why don 't you put up a railing around that deck, it only takes one slip-up. Seems kinda obvious no? But you know what is said about common sense.
Correct. I worked construction for nearly 40 years and seen all sorts of things. I’ve seen guys who’ve been working all day on an 8 foot step ladder then grab a 6 foot step ladder 'just for a minute' then climb up it only to walk right over the top, LOL. Or just step back off a staging. Mitchy needs to at least nail up a couple of 2x4's and put up a rope to remind herself the edge is there. I know, I know, but I’ve seen more people hurt from complacency.
Great video as always , good job 🙂🙂
Nail up a safety rail! 🫣 I'm a 67 year old General Contractor and unfortunately have seen some terrible injuries... That's a broken back, at least, fall...
Steve, her husband, agrees with you. If not for your sake, Michelle, do it for the dogs. Love your channel, but cringe every time I see every other job done except the rail.
The railing appears to be a non issue for some inexplicable reason, not like it can be slippery or someone might stumble.
