      Wow! 🤩 That is a huge compliment! 🥰We absolutely love Josh and Erin. Such a loving, HARD working family! 💪🏼 ❤️
      We really do appreciate your kind words! It really helps us to keep on going with this UA-cam journey! (It’s NOT easy😂).
      We hope you are having a wonderful week! 😊🌲❤️

    Note that it's very important to "cap" your posts. Leaving the end grain exposed on a vertical post wicks in water and rots out the post very quickly. A post cap is designed to shed that water.
    I made my own post caps from cedar. Your mileage may vary. 😊

      Thank you! That is a great idea! We plan to cover them somehow, but we probably should seal them in some form or fashion first. We appreciate the comment, John and we hope you have a wonderful week ahead!🌲❤️😊

    Even after a false spring -- fresh snow is always so beautiful. Jenna, great job in caputing the beauty of God's Angel Frosting.
    I do have to say that I would expect nothing but the best from the family of Penguins that is "slightly off"
    Ted, are you getting ready for the Great Minnesota Chain Saw carving competition in Hackensack??
    The 2024 dates are September 27th through the 29th, the sounds of chainsaws will be heard once again in Hackensack!
    Nothing beats the Snackinshack in Hackensack
    And while in Hackensack -- be sure to check out -- Butts & Buns BBQ
    Have you ever thought of using an Angle Grinder with a Wood Carving Disk to finish the post cuts so you do not have to use the chainsaw tip
    I do think that the onsite SSL (Sweet Saftey Lady) would approve
    Are you planning on adding post lights to protect the top end grain from rain and snow??
    I am glad to see that CJ is already working on his bikini belly tan
    Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
    “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
    Psalm 128:2
    “You will definitely enjoy what you’ve worked hard for - you’ll be happy; and things will go well for you.”
    2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
    “Even when we were with you we were giving you this command: ‘If anyone doesn’t want to work, they shouldn’t eat.’ We hear that some of you are living an undisciplined life. They aren’t working, but they are meddling in other people’s business. By the Lord Jesus Christ, we command and encourage such people to work quietly and put their own food on the table.”

      Hey Todd!
      The fresh snow certainly was beautiful. However the muddy, mucky mess it left in its wake is kind of a pain in the butt. The property was so nice and dry and now everting is a huge mess-- much like a typical spring up here. So, such is life!
      We may have to check out this Hackensack that you so often speak of! It sounds like a very fun place, with fun events and people!
      Thats such a great idea for the angle grinder! That chainsaw is basically an extension of Teddy's body so he probably didnt even think to use anything different that could potentially make his life easier or do a better job. But, yes it would be SSL approved! 😉
      We were definitely winging it that day! (and most days... lets be honest)
      Per code, we are putting a top railing over the posts. We would've loved to leave it open like that but gotta follow the rules! Otherwise yes, we would've sealed them and then put lights on them just like at the project house "smokers hut" (I cant believe I just called it that)
      LOL- he wasn't thrilled I put that shot of him in there but he allowed it so I kept it.. just charging up his solar batteries! Who can blame him? ☀️
      Col 3:23- that has been a verse I hold close, especially remembering it when starting a new job.
      Love the other two as well! We're doing the best we can, and always, all glory to God!
      Have a great week, Todd! See ya soon! 🌲☺️

    Remember learning as you go is a good thing. I have been in nursing for 47 years. My motto has always been, if I didn’t learn at least one new thing a day I was not doing my job right. God is teaching you every day, learn to listen to him.

    • @TheLiFeInPines
      @TheLiFeInPines  9 місяців тому

      Yes! Love this! If you really stop and listen, God will teach you something new every. single. day! We tend to just forget about those little blessings that He provides for us! Thank you so much for your work in healthcare! 🥰

    Hi guys, just a thought about the movement of the stairs...you could always mount a small set of casters or pneumatic wheels to the bottom of the stairs to move back and forth with the swaying of the tree and frame? Or if you really wanted to get creative with it....either fabricate or source a pair of small runners or slides that will contact the ground at the right angle? Just thinking out loud. You guys are doing such a fantastic job and the ingenuity is top notch! Love your videos and the family oriented side to it....really nice to see!!! God bless!!!

    Hi Jenna and Ted 🌲 I'm dropping in to see what you're doin' today. As usual, nice job Jenna with the various random clips at the beginning and throughout, they are always very enjoyable to watch. Nice to see Finley and CJ having fun like that. You all were once again getting a workout with the draw knife on the logs. Kind of like crunches and arm/shoulder workout at the same time. I laughed out loud with the shot of Finley chillaxin' - Finley is so cute. I anticipate Ted's humor as I watch these and just knew he'd do something while on the deck shoveling the snow 😉 The real easter egg was when he was carrying the gas can out across the clearing ; he totally caught me off guard with that one 🙃 The posts took a lot of work and effort and certainly turned out great. The distance shots showed how they blended in so nicely and disappeared into the view with surrounding trees. The vertical elements are fine but my concern is with anything in the railing that run horizontal as your eye would be drawn to it. Not sure what your plans are for between the posts but have a suggestion. There are some companies that have very nice desk cabling systems that I have seen used elsewhere. Cable Bullet and Muzata are a couple. These systems provide unobstruced and nearly invisable view (can get cable in black) and would also make snow shoveling the deck mush easier. I believe Muzata would also work with you as a sponsor for the advertisement. I look forward to seeing where you land on that aspect. I really enjoyed the various clips and outakes you place near the end. From one of your loyal cones, let me say that you " Minnesnowtans" are tough folks. I wince when I watch the ice cutting and then you two go from the sauna for polar plunge. I have done it, but now those days are long ago faint in the rear view mirror 🤪 Have a great week and be safe out there ❤ Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

      Hi Larry! thanks for stopping by to say hello! Yes the kids have had a phenomonal winter up here!
      Peeling logs is so satisfying and relaxing...defiinitely a woek out, but thats the best kind!
      Haha finley is adorable, but she's also growing up so fast! She's very mature for her age so we often have to remind ourselves that she's still onl 13!
      LOL, me too! The volume was turned way down on that clip beause i was standing right by the mini truck and it was really loud..... so you couldnt hear me laughing about it! lol he totally caught me off guard!
      Its so true about the posts blending in! I was actually telling Teddy as i was filming all of those shots, that it was really didfficult to capture because it just blends right in!
      I wish we wou'dve known about Muzata! We already ordered and received what we're using, otherwise we would've reached out to them!
      Lol- we're hoping if we keep on polar plunging, we'll never get to a point where we cant do it anymore! We hope you have a blessed week, Larry! Well see ya on the next one!

    For future reference: "Level" is horizontal. "Plumb" is horizontal.
    Also, make sure to seal the cut ends, even if you put a handrail on top.

Both of you look like chimney sweepers at the end of day. :) But, what an amazing thing you'll have when it's finished. Only question I have right now is how many bottles of propane has it taken to get it all burnt? Stay safe and keep up the good work.

      Hi Sam! Thank you so much! Haha yes we are ready to be done with the soot, that’s for sure!
      We just tapped into our 4th 20 lb tank yesterday. Barely used any of that… and now we’re done (hopefully!)
      It’s hard to judge because once you get down to about 1/3 tank of propane left, it just doesn’t give you the flame you need so we’d have to get a new tank even though it wasn’t all the way empty. And then of course you factor in the cold… so I’d safely say all in all we used about 3 tanks to do everything. Much less than we thought!
      Have a great weekend and we’ll see ya on the next one!

    Hi guys…great Chanel, so much energy & fun as you work !
    And you're building some very cool stuff !
    So FYI
    I'am not an expert but, I watch a few off grid building Chanel's and they burn & then lightly wire brush & then use an oil stain that seals the wood. And I believe from what it appears, that there is no more burnt material to come off.
    And the wood looks amazing. & clean !
    One Chanel uses an Australian oil stain but I don't recall the brand ?

    • @TheLiFeInPines
      @TheLiFeInPines  9 місяців тому +1

      Hey there! Thanks so much! We really do have a lot of fun on our projects!
      Yes, we burned and brushed all the beams and floor joists, etc. We opted not to seal because the technique itself seals and protects the wood.
      Since these handrail posts have the potential for people to brush up against them, we do plan on sealing them! I bet you’re thinking of linseed oil!
      We still haven’t decided what we’re going to use… 😬

      😊 we couldn’t do it without wonderful people like yourself cheering us along along the way!
      Jenna actually lived up in the mountains of Colorado for about a year! She worked at the Mount Vernon country club in Golden. It was absolutely beautiful out there!

    are you going to use lag bolts for your post ? That would be best to keep them from moving.

      We are going to see how these type fasteners work out. The posts seem pretty solid for now, but if they start to loosen up, we can always put traditional lags in at a future date. I guess only time will tell. 🤔
