Michy, you should think about using the mechanical advantage of the skid steer, with a rope and sling you can turn the log, by using an offset loop and lifting the log so that it rotates….think about it before you mess your back up….use your brains instead of the brawn….is what my mom always said….just an old man’s observation…

I laughed out loud when you comedically collapsed face down on the lawn. You mentioned in a previous video that the one thing you can't do is sing. Perhaps slightly off key, but I loved it anyway. More please! The composition of your videos has a wonderful natural flow and improves with each new video. Your choice of music, and when to use it, is spot on! Your use of visual humor and the ability to laugh at yourself are a couple of the reasons why I adore your channel. Some of my favorite moments are when you do voiceovers. The calmness in your voice has a therapeutic effect. I guess it's akin to this new phenomena called ASMR. I'm glad that Steve is home to help take on some of the physical and emotional burden that you've had to endure while he was away.

In USA the code requires the deck being attached to the house. There is a method of proper flashing that prevents water from getting behind the ledger board. I’m sure the combination of deep snow, rain, and subsequent ice is the issue here. I imagine ice dams trapped melting snow against the house. I imagine being connected to the house helps prevent catastrophic failure. A freestanding deck sounds good, but I’d want to be fully convinced it’s there to stay. Also, shovel the deck after each snow storm to help. Michy, you’re amazing!

Good morning, Michele I have a suggestion that might make your life easier. If you rotate the log toward your walking side of the mill ( opposite of what you normally do. ) your sawblade would be cutting on a non-bark part of the log. The sawblade exiting the bark should not dull it very much even if the log is dirty thus eliminating the need to remove all the bark off the tree. You would only need to remove the bark for your first strip of cutting. It might be a little more difficult to ensure you had a 90° cut on your second cut, but I’m sure you have the talent to make that happen. Just a method to think about to make your life easier. Keep up the videos they are very entertaining in a bed of bark!

Whenever and, all of the last 30 decks I've built, I build freestanding and unattached to the house in any way. I make sure that there is about a 3" gap between the sill and the sill of the deck. I overhang the decking to almost touch the house by about 1" - 3/4" shy. I also turn the boards perpendicular to the house as opposed to running parallel with the house. This lets a lot more moisture and debris fall between the building and the house. It also allows a lot more airflow through there.

Great work Michy. Love your determination. When putting logs on the mill you need to plan how to position the log before you make the first cut. Just rolling the log on the mill and dogging it and start cutting will not give you the best results. When you have defects on a log you must rotate the log so that the defects will be removed with your cuts. Usually it involves turning the log so defects are not going to be at 45 degrees to the flat surfaces of your cuts. Also lifting the small end of the log half the difference in diameter of the large end will give you the most good lumber out of a log. As for the type of wood you are using, if this lumber is going to be exposed to any type of weather, Hemlock is not going to work. It will be rotten in a few years. Also you need to avoid any sapwood. It will rot quickly no matter what species. Even a very decay resistant wood like cedar, the white sapwood will rot away just as fast any decay prone wood will. You can see this on the logs you said had staining, that is just the sapwood starting to rot. A lot of the damage to the house where the deck is attached is from water droplets and rain hitting the deck and splashing against the the wood of the house causing it to deteriorate. If you really want the deck to last I would seriously consider putting some kind of roof over the whole deck.

Dear (sometimes simply too) hard working Michygoss. You definitely could use 2 common, sturdy debarking tools with long handles (blades look like extremely sturdy spatulas/scrapers). One with a straight and one with a curved blade. These two will make your life sooo much easier that you will wish you had them before. I suggested the tools to Shawn James over and over again. Finally he bought them and is using the tools a lot for years now. 2) There is definitely a way better and easier to handle debarking attachment tool for chainsaws existing. I saw those in use several times on the Interweb. If I remember correctly, there is even one existing to put on electric chainsaws. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (humans and dogs 💚).

Michy, The block of wood method worked great !! good job. I hate the big bang. Cut a door stop wedge and put it on the end you already pulled out from the log stop and pull from the other end and you won't be playing chase. great job, love it when your milling!

Good evening, I just watched this video. Very good. I always wondered how you moved the largest logs by yourself without using equipment. Thank you for letting us see your whole process, struggles and all. Thank you again. Favorite video as of now haha -molly

WOW - a truly beautiful beam and you even got several other pieces of stock in addition to that! GREAT JOB!! I'm not surprised that you might have some back aches even with all of the good leverage techniques that you are using. I commend you for your abilities and "stick to it" character traits. Good luck on the rebuild of the deck. It's going to be beautiful and last many years.

You make me laugh, woman! Thanks Miche for another great episode. I have empathy for you and Steve with all the problems that have cropped up with your house. I’m sure your new hit single will help defray the costs. LOL
