Everything is turning out amazing!! 🤩 Leaving the wood is the best thing... it's natural fire prevention and insect repellent. 👌🏻 Teddy... you can fall on the ground all you want, but you need to stop the antics when you're in the air! You legit give me anxiety! Can't have anything bad happen to my friends!! 🫣 Screwing is my favorite thing to do! Especially when it goes quickly! There's just something about it that is SO satisfying! 😁😆 Oh CJ... 🤭 I'll give you props on that fall. I think Dad might've even been a little envious on the execution 😉😂
Awe thanks, Hillary! Yes, that's what we were finding out in our research as well! Would definitely want to seal it if it was being used indoors or coming in to contact with people so that soot doesn't get everywhere, but for this, leaving it as is was perfect. THANK YOU! When he's up on a ladder or teetering on a 4" wide beam 6' in the air... no funny business! He's going to end up giving me a heart attack... and we certainly don't want to be causing anxiety for our viewers! lol 🔩🪛 🤣 It was satisfying, all right! Omg when I saw the footage of CJ falling I was cracking up so hard! Like father like son! He's done it before IN FRONT OF STRANGERS out in public! LOL! The people didn't know whether to laugh or be worried! Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard but of course I freaked out at first b/c I didn't know he was doing it on purpose! oooh good times.
Looking Great!! You can keep the cold up der in da nort. We are going to hit 62 today and 66 on Sunday. Need to find my shorts and t-shirts. Jenna, you are just amazing, you are almost magical with how fast you can get smudge on your cheek Keep on keepin on, headed up close to you up to Duluth. Need my lake fix. Talk to ya later. God Bless. Be Good, Be Real, Be Safe. Psalm 121:5-8 “The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 18:2-3 “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.”
WooooWeee! A good ole Minnesota heat wave you're getting down there! We didnt quite hit 50˚ here today, but we'll still take it! Kids are up snowboarding as we speak! I bet they won't get another winter like this in their lifetime! I'm so glad they're old enough to remember it! Haha I'm a whiz with the soot! Enjoy the big water! What a beautiful weekend to be in Duluth! Love those verses from Psalms! Always such an encouraging and comforting book full of wonderful promises! Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend, Todd! 🌲
I wonder if it would be a good idea to raise a pillar from the ground so as not to put too much stress on the living pine trees. Although I think you have done enough calculations, If you will add much more heavy things on top of these in the future, it looks like it won't have enough support. Anyway these are valuable videos where we can see much younger Sandra Bullock who is doing various tasks every time😊
We have thought about putting a pillar under the one side. We don’t plan to put that much more weight on this structure. It’s only going to have a wall tent on it. You’d actually be surprised at how much these trees can hold with the TABs! So funny about Sandra Bullock! 😂 😂 We hope you have a wonderful week! 🌲 ❤️
Christine, Ted and I cannot thank you enough for supporting our channel in this way! We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity! It means the world to us! Thanks so much, and we hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🌲🥹🤍
When serving with an infantry unit in Alaska, we had to function in subzero arctic terrain. Our base camps were primitive but always had warming tents fueled by diesel, mogas, or wood. You may consider setting up a small tent with a wood stove that can keep propane and yourselves warm. Rotate your tanks and yourselves indoors periodically, we rotated shifts on an hourly basis warming for 15 minutes. Outside temps ranged from -25F to 20F even in sunlight. Cloudy days were warmer as the cloud cover would trap the warmer air.
We really can’t complain about this year’s winter weather! El Niño has definitely made us soft! The next 10 day forecast is all calling for warmer weather. 😊 we appreciate you following along with us! And Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸❤️🌲😊
Love the contruction! For screwing larger screws (50mm+) it is best to always predrill the hole in the wood to be fixed. This is because the screwing puts a lot of tention on the metal and if not predrilled a lot in the worng place, the wood you like to fix instead of the joint. So for a stronger fix-joint between the 2 woods you predrill, and to release the tention on the screw because they can break (the head is most vulnerable), especially stainless steel!
Always love your videos. Your treehouse has a great foundation. Working in that cold is no joke. It makes everything harder. Jenna so cute with the soot on her face. I thought Honda generators were one pull, LOL. I didn't think you needed to treat the wood after burning. It is going to look so good as it ages. And Ted sticks the landing! Always love seeing the pups. Glad y'all had some down time to enjoy being with friends. So glad your AirBNB is successful and reaping the rewards of all that hard work. I hope you have a great weekend. BTW, Ted, it's a long shank. LOL. Love y'all.
The Honda generators are supposed to be one pull! Just too darn cold! 🥶 We really like the look of the burn! It looks even better in person. We are super excited about the Airbnb. It’s been just the right amount of bookings! 😊 Long Shank! 😂 Thank you! We hope you have a great week Ray!❤️🌲😊

The "Squatters Heights" is looking SOOOO good you two!! And look at that subscribers number climbing. I'm so happy for you all. I may just be a "Pine Nut", but your gonna hit 100K before you know it.
Slowly, but surely, Sam! We really do appreciate all your support! 100K? I don’t know about that. 😂 that would be CRAZY! We hope you have a wonderful, wonderful week!❤️🌲😊
You know what I want to see also....you remember when you planted your garlic...I planted some too the next day...of course I guess ya'lls is still covered with snow mine has greens tops..they say I pull it when the tops die...I can't wait to see yours. I am SO GLAD to hear you are having guests. I had been wondering. Our new guests come in tomorrow for a week ,,one day down and another week of guests.....
Normally we would have a ton of snow still covering, but that spot of the garden is completely clear! I'm not ready to take the pine boughs off of it until I know we're free of snow for good. We had a big snow storm last April so anything is possible at this point! We pull then when the tops have turned brown/yellow halfway down. We also sprinkle blood meal on them once a month. Don't forget to cut your scapes! They're delicious and it'll help your cloves grow bigger! We don't harvest ours until around august/September! Yes! We've been *just* busy enough to not be overwhelmed with everything else we have going on! April is big time off season here so we'll see what that brings! We just got our first week long booking! I'm nervous and excited about it! Glad your bnb is still booming! Thats so wonderful! have a great week! ♡
We have been in it for 3 years....and every guest we have is scary, nervousy, and excited also...that feeling never seems to end...PRAY AND BELIEF,,,AND I PRAY AND ANOINT THE HOUSE AND I PRAY OVER THE HOUSE EVEN WHEN IT IS EMPTY.--We have had a lot of repeat guests,,,so , we know them and they are 5's. @@TheLiFeInPines
As I was mid-way through the video, I couldn't help be thankful for the amount of work and heart you both put into each video. From the subtitles when needed to clarify things, to beautiful scenery, to bloopers and edits, to caring for your Airbnb and family, to responding to the Pine's family comments. May God multiply the work and bring an even more abundant harvest both on earth and in heaven. I really appreciate all that you do to include us, UA-cam fam, in this journey. Also, mid way through as I was hit was such appreciation, Ted fell again and I nearly lost it hahahah.... I wonder how long a compilation video would be of all the times Ted has fallen (or nearly fallen) in each video from the very beginning of Pines on UA-cam??🤣😅😆 It would be hilarious!
We wouldn’t be able to continue on without the support of wonderful people like yourself. Kind comments like this are what keep us going.😊🥰 it really is a lot of work! But we LOVE doing it. ❤️ Ted falling compilation 😂 I may have to look into that!😂 We hope you have a wonderful week Jasmine! ❤️🌲😊 Thanks again!
Just here to say I LOVE your channel, and am binge watching all your videos ❤ Thank you for being real, and for keeping God in the middle of it all! I found you because we are renovating a 3500 sf 111 year old, two story farmhouse. Pray for us please.
😊Well thank you! We appreciate you following along with us! We have said from the beginning that it just wouldn’t be right leaving our faith out of our content. Little mustard seeds here and there! 😊❤️ Many prayers for you and your renovation! 🙏🏼 You can do it! 💪🏼 Keep us posted on your progress! We hope you have a wonderful week! 🌲
Just now found you guys. So enjoyed the home renovation. Now watching your tree house build. I agree with 542FrmGrl about keeping God in your life. I think you are keeping God first and foremost in all you are doing. Blessings and PTL your new adventure will be successful.
4.3 on Teddy's dismount. Safety Lady needs a cattle prode for misbehaving workers 😊. Another great video. I understand that at some point, you just can't work when it is that cold outside. It's in the'70s here in Yuma..
Hey that is an excellent idea! Keep him in line! lol. Yeah it was just too bitterly cold. When the tools even refuse to work, we just gotta call it and move on! Warmer temps ahead! No 70's (jealous!) but I'll take upper 40's in march!
Nice getting there so that was first pull after 20 times of practice starting 😆 chringed when you said sealer. Glad you did research and are just leaving it 👍👍
Haha I pulled it 20 times and then Ted comes in and gets it on the first pull! 🤣 yes, there were more reasons to NOT add a sealer than TO add it.. Glad we went without! We can always touch it up and re-burn it down the road. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you have a great weekend! 🌲
@@TheLiFeInPines enjoying the channel I can see that for touch ups makes a lot of sense. Don't you just love your trying to do something and someone else comes along and they get the first time lol
😊 we love seeing comments like this! We are so glad you found us too! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and week ahead! We always appreciate the prayers Nicole! Many prayers to you and yours as well.❤️🌲😊
Hi Jenna and Ted 🌲it's good to drop in and see what you're doin' today. I really like the openening shots, especially Clifford's close up. I think the name Squatters Heights is perfect! You guys made good progress on finishing up the burning and installing the floor joist beams in place, despite the cold temps. I noticed the green knit top which is a good color for you, and for the record, you look great with or without the smudges 😉. You had some very appealing random shots woven into the video as it approached the end, I especially like the scene with Finley playing with the dogs. That location on your property is quite beautiful. You've never shared your thoughts on how you saw the use under the tent. Seeing the floor joist down and your activity with the fire, hanging lantern etc underneath it got me to wondering. It would be a perfect location for activty; are you thinking of building it out somewhat or simply leaving it up to guests to improvise? Good call by Ted for using the corded 1/2" drill to sink those long lads into the joists. That drill is heavy duty, high torque, and made for that type of work and there's not sense damaging a battery powered impact driver. Ted was at the top of his game, the colder weather seemed to bring out him clowing around which is always entertaining. CJ also jumped right right in and made me laugh out loud! You are all characters in your own right and I believe that is one of the things that make my enjoy you all and The LiFe in Pines so very much. You are a highlight my week. One of your loyal cones ... Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Hi Larry! Thanks so much! It was a collective idea between Ted, Finley and myself to do a little recap of our project so far! Video credit for Cliffords cameo goes to Finley! Yes we thought the play on words of "Squatter's Rights" was perfect! That green sweater was my thrift store find - 4$ 100% wool sweater! I had been looking or one to wear specifically outside working! didnt want to spend a lot on a wool sweater I knew I'd be working in, so I was so happy to find this sweater! We're not 100% sure yet on what we're doing with the underneath. It has about 5' of clearance on the one end and 8' of clearance on the yoke side. Cant really have a fire pit under there, but was definitely thinking about dry storage, stringing up some hammocks, maybe a little outdoor shower/tub situation? Time (and money) will tell! We totally agree on his corded drill for the lags. It was no big deal using it (other than the struggle I had starting the generator 😆) When the weather is this cold... I think it really does draw out the silly in people! When I saw that footage of CJ I also cracked up! Oh my goodness it's such a joy to watch your children grow up and see them develop their unique personalities right before your eyes. Parenthood is so special. Thanks for dropping in and we hope you have a great week! See ya soon! -Jenna
We are too! We think it'll look pretty cool finished, especially all illuminated at night! I thought about a wire brush but I have a weird thing about the feeling of wire brushes on things! It gives me the creeps! So I opted for a nylon bristle brush and push broom while Ted finished up burning!
Gosh! Not sure how you both handle the cold. I applaud you both for doing what you do especially to entertain us. Love you guys and always look forward to seeing you but not for you guys to suffer in the cold. Here in Kentucky today it's 68 and tomorrow in mid 70's. I wish for warmer days ahead for you guys. Blessings to you and your family.
We were ok except for our hands! It’s hard when you have to film or need dexterity for certain tasks and can’t wear gloves. It was mostly the propane tank that was hating the cold. 68° still sounds heavenly though and I’d welcome that weather any day now! I hope you get out there and enjoy it! Thanks for watching and have a great week! 😊🌲
I was proud of just replacing worn window screens today, then I see you guys working like lumber jacks haha❤ . You guys are the best and always prayers sent for continued saftey and progress.
Hey Pine Peeps…And YES another chapter in the continuing saga of your “Squatter’s Heights” build…Today was a cold and snowy day here in Beautiful Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada…Today’s vid did a great job of warming things up in my world as it was too cold (for me) to go skiing…Great relief from a potential case of cabin fever…As always, many thanks for sharing…IAG, eh!!!🇨🇦
We definitely can’t complain about the winter weather this year! I think El Niño has made us soft! 😂 Thanks again for always falling along with us! We hope you have a wonderful wonderful week!❤️😊🌲 🇺🇸
Woo hoo 🎉 Paul couldn’t wait to show me the title of this video! It’s looking great! I’m glad you didn’t need to put a finish on the joists. Figured with the cold that would be very difficult to even apply. Looks like the performance falling genes run strong in your family congrats CJ well executed! Looking forward to next week’s! All the best -Jayme ❤
🤗😊 Thank you for the name! It’s absolutely perfect! 🤩 The cold is what basically made the decision for us! We were not sure on temperature for linseed oil, but we knew polyurethane would not cure in these cold temps! Time will tell if it just the burn works! 🔥 CJ definitely picked up on Ted’s antics🫣 We hope you guys have a wonderful week as well! 🌲❤️😊
"The Life In Pines" There is a couple in Canada called off grid with Jake and Nicole and they do that to basically all their wood. It's turning out beautiful. Good job.
Very cool project. Sometimes when I" feel like a kid again" I get the urge to build a tree fort. You have inspired me! I Love the moisture meter. I would make good use of it. Thanks for the great content. Keep praying!
It really has been such a fun project already! The moisture meter is definitely a good tool to have! Make sure you comment “the LiFe in Pines” on last weeks video to get entered (if you haven’t already!) We appreciate you following along with us! Many prayers to you and yours. 🙏🏼 We hope you have a great week.❤️😊🌲
Awe, Bonnie! What incredibly kind things to say! Ted and I are so glad you enjoy the videos. It makes us especially happy to know they bring smile to your heart. Thank you for watching and we hope you have a great week! 🌲♡
It was sooo cold that day that you guys left! 🥶 We hope you and Jill had a good rest of your road trip! It was so good to hang out with you! Did you guys see your little cameo? 😊 We hope that was OK… Have a great week Steve! ❤️🌲😊
Awe thanks so much! Yes you can definitely relate to the bizarre weather we've been having this winter! Cant complain, though! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend! 🌲
Great video the cheapest way was a good decision on the beam so only suggested for using a sealer was for more protection but l am sure with what you have done will be enough protection and being in the sun with no contact with the ground it will be ok. Jenna why are you the only one with war paint on your face and Ted has none. The ending with your son falling looks like he is following Ted’s antics. Stay safe with the cold glad you took a break and warmed up. Fitted sheets l can’t fold them at all no wonder us men are all thumbs and turn to you and say here you do it. See you next week!
We went back-and-forth on the whole sealing thing! It was either nothing, linseed oil, or polyurethane. Time will tell if the burn method alone works! We all got pretty dirty!😂 CJ has definitely picked up on Ted’s tendencies 🫣😂 Fitted sheets 🙅🏽♂️ We hope you have a wonderful week! ❤️🌲😊
One would think after 15 years of marriage I would be used to it by now... I think he's just gotten better at knowing exactly how to freak me out. Or maybe I'm just becoming more of a wimp! 😆 LOL Ted knows how to turn it off so we can keep a united front when it comes to discipline! Thank goodness! 😅
wow you guys would make it here in Montana if you can not take the cold I had -60 before and had to go get my shop start pickup and let warm up to go to work so man up pine needle lol
Great question! The trees actually grow out at this level! So the treehouse will stay exactly where it is. Fun fact, the TABs (tree attachment bolts) will actually get engulfed into the tree over time! We hope you have a great week! 🌲 ❤️ 😀
This is our practice (with milling beams, installing TABS, etc) for when we build our treehouse!! We definitely plan on staying here in the winter as well!! The tent will have a wood stove in it.
If you are “burning and screwing” I guess Teddy thinks you’re HOT lol. Yall make me laugh in a time it has been hard. My wife remains in the hospital after her fourth emergency surgery since 12/9/23. Yall give me 20 mins to reboot. Blessings to your family. From Richmond, Va.
😂 😝 🔥 It brings a smile to our faces to know we can bring some joy (if only for a couple minutes) to someone who is going through hard times. Many, many prayers for you and your wife during this difficult time. 🙏🏼 Please keep us posted on her recovery! ❤️🩹 God bless! 🌲😊❤️

New follower from Denmark, love your projects ❤
Denmark! Wow! We are glad you found us! Thanks for dropping in! We hope you have a great week❤️🌲😊
Another awesome video! Kimberly and I are so glad to see your channel growing. You guys deserve it! Looking forward to your next video already! 👍🏻
😊 thank you! Slowly, but surely our channel is growing! We appreciate the support from other channels like yours! We hope you have a great week! 🌲 ❤️😊
As I was mid-way through the video, I couldn't help be thankful for the amount of work and heart you both put into each video. From the subtitles when needed to clarify things, to beautiful scenery, to bloopers and edits, to caring for your Airbnb and family, to responding to the Pine's family comments. May God multiply the work and bring an even more abundant harvest both on earth and in heaven. I really appreciate all that you do to include us, UA-cam fam, in this journey.
Also, mid way through as I was hit was such appreciation, Ted fell again and I nearly lost it hahahah....
I wonder how long a compilation video would be of all the times Ted has fallen (or nearly fallen) in each video from the very beginning of Pines on UA-cam??🤣😅😆 It would be hilarious!
We wouldn’t be able to continue on without the support of wonderful people like yourself. Kind comments like this are what keep us going.😊🥰 it really is a lot of work! But we LOVE doing it. ❤️
Ted falling compilation 😂 I may have to look into that!😂
We hope you have a wonderful week Jasmine! ❤️🌲😊 Thanks again!
Just here to say I LOVE your channel, and am binge watching all your videos ❤ Thank you for being real, and for keeping God in the middle of it all! I found you because we are renovating a 3500 sf 111 year old, two story farmhouse. Pray for us please.
😊Well thank you! We appreciate you following along with us! We have said from the beginning that it just wouldn’t be right leaving our faith out of our content. Little mustard seeds here and there! 😊❤️
Many prayers for you and your renovation! 🙏🏼 You can do it! 💪🏼 Keep us posted on your progress!
We hope you have a wonderful week! 🌲
Just now found you guys. So enjoyed the home renovation. Now watching your tree house build. I agree with 542FrmGrl about keeping God in your life. I think you are keeping God first and foremost in all you are doing. Blessings and PTL your new adventure will be successful.
right...the burn is the seal.
YES! We feel really good about leaving it with just the burn!
4.3 on Teddy's dismount. Safety Lady needs a cattle prode for misbehaving workers 😊. Another great video. I understand that at some point, you just can't work when it is that cold outside. It's in the'70s here in Yuma..
Hey that is an excellent idea! Keep him in line! lol. Yeah it was just too bitterly cold. When the tools even refuse to work, we just gotta call it and move on! Warmer temps ahead! No 70's (jealous!) but I'll take upper 40's in march!
Hi I been watching from Pennsylvania love you guys a long time
Aw, thanks so much! Ted and I sure appreciate that! Have a great weekend! 🌲
Hahahahaha...... Don't smack me.... I would have jumped off the ladder also just for the rise.... 😂😂
😂 😆🫣
Ya’ll were very punny in this video. Pfrem Dad would be proud. 😂
You would’ve really enjoyed the Valentine’s Day card Ted made! 🫣🤭
❤️ 🌲
It’s great & so much fun watching some of our favorite locals on UA-cam . 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Carol! It’s so nice to have local support! 😊We appreciate you following along with us. We hope you have a wonderful week!🌲❤️😊
Love the name, it’s brilliant 😂 it’s already looking great. Love your videos.
Thanks so much! One of our viewers suggested it and we loved it! Ted and I are so glad you're enjoying the videos! Have a great weekend, Michelle! ♡🌲
Nice getting there so that was first pull after 20 times of practice starting 😆 chringed when you said sealer. Glad you did research and are just leaving it 👍👍
Haha I pulled it 20 times and then Ted comes in and gets it on the first pull! 🤣 yes, there were more reasons to NOT add a sealer than TO add it.. Glad we went without! We can always touch it up and re-burn it down the road. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you have a great weekend! 🌲
@@TheLiFeInPines enjoying the channel I can see that for touch ups makes a lot of sense. Don't you just love your trying to do something and someone else comes along and they get the first time lol
I am so happy I found you guys..I can hardly wait for your video each week.
Have a wonderful weekend
You are all in my prayers always
Nicole
😊 we love seeing comments like this! We are so glad you found us too! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and week ahead! We always appreciate the prayers Nicole! Many prayers to you and yours as well.❤️🌲😊
Hi Jenna and Ted 🌲it's good to drop in and see what you're doin' today. I really like the openening shots, especially Clifford's close up. I think the name Squatters Heights is perfect! You guys made good progress on finishing up the burning and installing the floor joist beams in place, despite the cold temps. I noticed the green knit top which is a good color for you, and for the record, you look great with or without the smudges 😉. You had some very appealing random shots woven into the video as it approached the end, I especially like the scene with Finley playing with the dogs. That location on your property is quite beautiful. You've never shared your thoughts on how you saw the use under the tent. Seeing the floor joist down and your activity with the fire, hanging lantern etc underneath it got me to wondering. It would be a perfect location for activty; are you thinking of building it out somewhat or simply leaving it up to guests to improvise? Good call by Ted for using the corded 1/2" drill to sink those long lads into the joists. That drill is heavy duty, high torque, and made for that type of work and there's not sense damaging a battery powered impact driver. Ted was at the top of his game, the colder weather seemed to bring out him clowing around which is always entertaining. CJ also jumped right right in and made me laugh out loud! You are all characters in your own right and I believe that is one of the things that make my enjoy you all and The LiFe in Pines so very much. You are a highlight my week. One of your loyal cones ... Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Hi Larry! Thanks so much! It was a collective idea between Ted, Finley and myself to do a little recap of our project so far! Video credit for Cliffords cameo goes to Finley!
Yes we thought the play on words of "Squatter's Rights" was perfect!
That green sweater was my thrift store find - 4$ 100% wool sweater! I had been looking or one to wear specifically outside working! didnt want to spend a lot on a wool sweater I knew I'd be working in, so I was so happy to find this sweater!
We're not 100% sure yet on what we're doing with the underneath. It has about 5' of clearance on the one end and 8' of clearance on the yoke side. Cant really have a fire pit under there, but was definitely thinking about dry storage, stringing up some hammocks, maybe a little outdoor shower/tub situation? Time (and money) will tell!
We totally agree on his corded drill for the lags. It was no big deal using it (other than the struggle I had starting the generator 😆)
When the weather is this cold... I think it really does draw out the silly in people! When I saw that footage of CJ I also cracked up! Oh my goodness it's such a joy to watch your children grow up and see them develop their unique personalities right before your eyes. Parenthood is so special. Thanks for dropping in and we hope you have a great week! See ya soon!

I am looking forward to seeing this done ... it looks great with the burn. i used a wire brush to help take off some of the heavy burn ...
We are too! We think it'll look pretty cool finished, especially all illuminated at night! I thought about a wire brush but I have a weird thing about the feeling of wire brushes on things! It gives me the creeps! So I opted for a nylon bristle brush and push broom while Ted finished up burning!
Gosh! Not sure how you both handle the cold. I applaud you both for doing what you do especially to entertain us. Love you guys and always look forward to seeing you but not for you guys to suffer in the cold. Here in Kentucky today it's 68 and tomorrow in mid 70's. I wish for warmer days ahead for you guys. Blessings to you and your family.
We were ok except for our hands! It’s hard when you have to film or need dexterity for certain tasks and can’t wear gloves. It was mostly the propane tank that was hating the cold.
68° still sounds heavenly though and I’d welcome that weather any day now! I hope you get out there and enjoy it! Thanks for watching and have a great week! 😊🌲
Love this , watch it weekly 4:48
You're too kind! Thank you so much! Ted and I appreciate that!
I was proud of just replacing worn window screens today, then I see you guys working like lumber jacks haha❤ . You guys are the best and always prayers sent for continued saftey and progress.
😂 Any work is work! Thank you for your continued support! We appreciate the prayers! 🙏🏼
We hope you have a great week!🌲😊❤️
Love your channel!👏❤️🙏🏻
I didn’t know you could burn logs like that. I learn something every time I watched your videos.😊
Awe thank you, Karen! Yes! Ancient Japanese technique! We love it and are so glad we found out about it, too!
Good luck to all those enter in their giveaway!!!! Squatters Heights is looking good and love the name for the new project!!!!
Wooop! Thanks so much, and yes- good luck to everyone! Glad you like the name, too! 🌲
Great video. It looks good. Love the name.
Thanks so much, Darren! Ted and I appreciate it! Hope you have a great weekend! 🌲
🤣🤣🤣love you all’s sense of humor, looking good
😊❤️🌲
Hey Pine Peeps…And YES another chapter in the continuing saga of your “Squatter’s Heights” build…Today was a cold and snowy day here in Beautiful Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada…Today’s vid did a great job of warming things up in my world as it was too cold (for me) to go skiing…Great relief from a potential case of cabin fever…As always, many thanks for sharing…IAG, eh!!!🇨🇦
We definitely can’t complain about the winter weather this year! I think El Niño has made us soft! 😂
Thanks again for always falling along with us! We hope you have a wonderful wonderful week!❤️😊🌲 🇺🇸
Woo hoo 🎉 Paul couldn’t wait to show me the title of this video! It’s looking great! I’m glad you didn’t need to put a finish on the joists. Figured with the cold that would be very difficult to even apply. Looks like the performance falling genes run strong in your family congrats CJ well executed! Looking forward to next week’s! All the best -Jayme ❤
🤗😊 Thank you for the name! It’s absolutely perfect! 🤩
The cold is what basically made the decision for us! We were not sure on temperature for linseed oil, but we knew polyurethane would not cure in these cold temps! Time will tell if it just the burn works! 🔥
CJ definitely picked up on Ted’s antics🫣
We hope you guys have a wonderful week as well! 🌲❤️😊
"The Life In Pines" There is a couple in Canada called off grid with Jake and Nicole and they do that to basically all their wood. It's turning out beautiful. Good job.
We will have to go check them out! Thank you!🌲😊❤️
Very cool project. Sometimes when I" feel like a kid again" I get the urge to build a tree fort. You have inspired me! I Love the moisture meter. I would make good use of it. Thanks for the great content. Keep praying!
It really has been such a fun project already! The moisture meter is definitely a good tool to have! Make sure you comment “the LiFe in Pines” on last weeks video to get entered (if you haven’t already!) We appreciate you following along with us! Many prayers to you and yours. 🙏🏼 We hope you have a great week.❤️😊🌲
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching! We hope you have a great week!❤️😊🌲
I love Life in Pines!! Your show brings a smile to my heart everytime I watch it. Thank you for being such a blessing, your family is so beautiful.
Awe, Bonnie! What incredibly kind things to say! Ted and I are so glad you enjoy the videos. It makes us especially happy to know they bring smile to your heart. Thank you for watching and we hope you have a great week! 🌲♡
Another amazing video, don't know how you managed the cold and still got so much done, love every minute, looking forward to seeing what is next 😅.
It was sooo cold that day that you guys left! 🥶
We hope you and Jill had a good rest of your road trip! It was so good to hang out with you! Did you guys see your little cameo? 😊 We hope that was OK…
Have a great week Steve! ❤️🌲😊
@@TheLiFeInPines we had such a great time, the grandkids really liked seeing us on UA-cam. Thanks again have a great week 😊
So glad to hear your B&B is renting-it is so cute! Also glad that you are taking some down time with friends. Good name for your treehouse!
Thank you Laura!! 😊
We hope you have a great week ❤️😊🌲
Great day to win stuff 🙌
😊🌲
year round squatter bugalow
We may just move in and rent our house out! haha☺️
Another great video. Everything is coming together. I agree with Ted on the fitted sheet folding, I try but I am not very successful.
Thank you, Jill! We hope you and Steve had a good rest of your road trip!
Fitted sheets! 🙅🏽♂️😂
We hope you have a great week! ❤️🌲😊
Love watching you both and your projects we are from Wisconsin we relate to your weather keep the faith 🥰
Awe thanks so much! Yes you can definitely relate to the bizarre weather we've been having this winter! Cant complain, though! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend! 🌲
Luv ur intro ❤
Awe thank you! I try to do *something* new or different in every episode. Have a great weekend! 🌲♡
Cant wait ♥️
Us either!!! 😊❤️🌲
Great video the cheapest way was a good decision on the beam so only suggested for using a sealer was for more protection but l am sure with what you have done will be enough protection and being in the sun with no contact with the ground it will be ok. Jenna why are you the only one with war paint on your face and Ted has none. The ending with your son falling looks like he is following Ted’s antics. Stay safe with the cold glad you took a break and warmed up. Fitted sheets l can’t fold them at all no wonder us men are all thumbs and turn to you and say here you do it. See you next week!
We went back-and-forth on the whole sealing thing! It was either nothing, linseed oil, or polyurethane. Time will tell if the burn method alone works! We all got pretty dirty!😂
CJ has definitely picked up on Ted’s tendencies 🫣😂
Fitted sheets 🙅🏽♂️
We hope you have a wonderful week! ❤️🌲😊
I really could use the moisture meter!
🌲😊
Jenna, you’d think by now you would be used to Ted’s antics. Must have been a hoot raising kids, who was the disciplinarian. Great video
One would think after 15 years of marriage I would be used to it by now... I think he's just gotten better at knowing exactly how to freak me out. Or maybe I'm just becoming more of a wimp! 😆
LOL Ted knows how to turn it off so we can keep a united front when it comes to discipline! Thank goodness! 😅
Progress, but am not sure how you motivate yourselves to work in this Cold Cold Weather!
Lol LOTS of coffee and knowing theres a HOT sauna waiting for us when we're done! ☺️
wow you guys would make it here in Montana if you can not take the cold I had -60 before and had to go get my shop start pickup and let warm up to go to work so man up pine needle lol
We blame it on El Niño making us soft! We usually can handle the cold….🥶
You can keep your -60° though 😆
We hope you have a great week Wade! 🌲
Is there a danger of the treehouse becoming lopsided, if the supporting trees do not grow at the same rate?
Just curious.
Great question! The trees actually grow out at this level! So the treehouse will stay exactly where it is. Fun fact, the TABs (tree attachment bolts) will actually get engulfed into the tree over time!
We hope you have a great week! 🌲 ❤️ 😀
😁👍👍
😊🌲
@@TheLiFeInPines love it 😍🌲👨👩👧👦😊, have a great weekend.
Maybe y'all should call it Frozen Squatters Heights ! Keep up the "cool" work y'all are doing ! 😅
😂 ❤️ 🌲 thanks for following along with us! We hope you have a wonderful week!
I think you'd be better off if you built a tree house, you could enjoy it all seasons especially during the winter with a wood stove.
This is our practice (with milling beams, installing TABS, etc) for when we build our treehouse!! We definitely plan on staying here in the winter as well!! The tent will have a wood stove in it.
🤗❤❤✌
😊❤️🌲
Jenna you are right fitted sheets need to be folded properly, it’s not that hard Ted. Is this whole falling thing hereditary or what, lol.
😂 🤣😂 Must be hereditary! 😆
son is just as clumsy as his dad lol
😂 He has picked up on his antics for sure! 😆
If you are “burning and screwing” I guess Teddy thinks you’re HOT lol. Yall make me laugh in a time it has been hard. My wife remains in the hospital after her fourth emergency surgery since 12/9/23. Yall give me 20 mins to reboot. Blessings to your family. From Richmond, Va.
😂 😝 🔥
It brings a smile to our faces to know we can bring some joy (if only for a couple minutes) to someone who is going through hard times. Many, many prayers for you and your wife during this difficult time. 🙏🏼
Please keep us posted on her recovery! ❤️🩹
God bless! 🌲😊❤️
