19:11 Broom for sale... anyone...? LOL for your straight face delivery!! I'm pretty sure several of your fans would pay top dollar for YOUR 'work of art'.

Your journey building the cliff cabin has been such a joy to watch. You must have been deliciously satisfied to Freddy Kruger slash that darn flapping Tyvek? I never get tired of the changing views you enjoy from your mountain aerie. Give your pups a pet for me.

Thanks Michelle for another great video you make us viewers feel like we are there . Get the exterior done girl the snow will be falling really soon .

Have them put a drain in the bottom of the tub too in case of emergency, say you heart attack in it or something and need to drain the water fast. Good Job on window, even overkill for a cabin but better overengineered than under. No need to buy all those plastic shims with a forest and sawmill around, pine cutoffs are fine. Keep it up and remember to resist the urge to "Lowes" or "Home Depot" as much as you can.

If the stove is leaking on the outside it may also be leaking on the inside. It is good that you caught that at this time. Nice progress on the cabin. Thank you for sharing your progress.

Those shorts are gonna be the death of me... Great progress on the cabin. The view must be incredible.

Tyvek frustration anxiety attack with the Filet knife, Love that. Nothing like payback. LOL thanx for sharing.😃

You are fun to watch. Never a dull moment. Your enthusiasm to do things is infectious. I will watch your videos several times. Thank you! ❤😊

Hi Michelle. I like how you say " I know I should of done it this way, but I haven't" & " I know I should of bought this, but I'm just going to use what I`ve got"😂

Okay michy, making progress and getting it dried in. Your doing fine. Have a great week and God bless amen.

Don't over think your window install; you're on the right track and absolutely correct. It's very simple.

Don't sweat those windows. You're doing fine. All that cedar will outlive the both of us

Make sure to have a proper drip edge on top of the window to keep the water sheeting in the correct direction…down. Gravity is the law and you must obey.

Good morning Michelle, from Houma, Louisiana. It's 9am and I can't think of a better reason to wake up than to watch your video. Gonna be a great day.

Hey Kiddo.. the flashing at the deck attached to the foam will be just fine..the water will run down the siding onto the flashing and away from the building...your doing a very good job..Be safe.

Hi 👋, Michelle , great progress on the log cabin in the wilderness, should we be calling you the wilderness girl?, 😂 . Or the wild girl from the mountains., that was a slippery slope. 😂 , I remember from a few years ago, putting windows in that I’d made, always make sure you’ve got everything by the side of you, including props, you have to do a little list and put it by the window, saying do not fit window until you’ve got all your tools, screws, hammers, et cetera et cetera😂, it’s going to be amazing when it’s all finished and you better sit in your log cabin or on your decking looking out across the mountainside, can’t wait to see it finished, it’s a joy to watch you working, especially when you realise that you have forgot something, 😂. The hot tub is coming on well shame about the leak in the boiler system., but that could be a bit nasty, you might bear to put in a little solar pump to circulate the water a bit easier, and if you put the bigger fittings in as I think you said the flow will be a lot quicker as well, I could really do with your sawmill, as I have managed to pull some trees out of the river and I’ve still got three or four more trees to take down, I have about a acre and a half of land runs along the river, and I am responsible for that embankment my trees fall into it. I have through move them., Keep up the great work. Look forward to your next weeks work., stay safe, Phil from the moulin France.

Good job Ketchup gurl... your doing a fine job!

Was just thinking of you & wondering how your week has been - thanks for taking us along : ) Great to see you back at the "Cabin on the Cliff" #$%^

There's something about watching you struggle, yet overcome these hiccups. Tugs at my heart!

Michelle love this video I really love how you are taking your time building this cabin slow and doin everything right I can’t wait to see you and Steve in a video sitting on the deck and watching the sun go down with a glass of wine being relaxed holding each other like husband and wife keep those videos coming God bless Steve and Michelle

The purpose of the blueskin/resisto isn't just a shingled drainage plane, it is also a self healing membrane so when you drive a nail in or other penetrations it coats the fastener and seals the hole. You don't have to do the entire inside of the frame, but it's a good idea to do the entire face of the frame where you're nailing the window flange on. or a non-hardening sealant. Caulking, etc. I put my windows on the exterior of the rigid foam, it makes fastening it a lot harder, but the thermal break on the frame is very important, it is where most of the heat loss occurs with modern windows.

Thank you Michelle 🙂 Great progress on the cabin , hope you're doing well, appreciate you, stay safe and take care my friend 🙏 🐾👋

The cabin's looking great the windows are looking great your hot tub look perfect with a few MODIFICATIONS that's a big word😂 but thank you for the video I enjoyed it see you on the next one😂❤❤😅😊

It could be possible that the small inlet/outlet hose diameter you're using with the water heater is developing more pressure than the heater is designed for. Return it and switch to the larger IN/OUT plumbing. Great Content, Thank You

So satisfying to get that Tyvek down, so great!

Thank Michelle, for another wonderful video, your cabin is coming along, wonderful, looks like. I do admire your work, ethics and your willingness to get the job done. Thanks again have a wonderful week.

I'm captivated by the creative door design on the cliff cabin shed. It's truly unique. When it comes to construction details, make sure to use flashing around the edges of all openings. Additionally, ensure that the tyvek (or other) membrane is securely wrapped around the header, sill, and studs, as you'll need to apply more flashing after installing the windows, doors, and drip guards. To prevent water penetration, it's advisable to use a rubber roller for even application of butyl flashing; water can't penetrate butyl unless there are small air pockets. Regarding the hot tub, have you thought about using four holes instead of just two? This could help distribute the hot water more evenly. I'm intrigued by the thermosiphon system. Have you also thought about incorporating a Stirling engine to power a pump, thereby increasing the water flow rate?

I'm often sitting here smiling because when we build things alone, we usually run into similar problems. How many times do I remember holding something up and then realizing that I need my drill driver or whatever and it's about a foot farther from me than I can reach and still hold whatever in place lol! Sunday morning, coffee and Michy. Gotta' love it! ❤❤ Love the chipmunk!

You are frigging bad ass. Watching you get around is a beautiful thing..have a blessed week.

... been fun watching the progress over the summer thank you ..!

You are an amazing, strong woman. The creativity you bring to your projects is incredible. Seeing you use a tool pouch makes me smile and show how you are wanting all your tools and supplies at hand. Most people don’t and waste time chasing down everything. Really enjoy your videos

The tech for installing windows has changed so much in my lifetime, I’m sure you will be fine, yes I’m sure we could nitpick on some details, but IMHO a lot of that would be personal preference or “that’s the way I was taught to do it” kind of thinking. Well done

The person I learned about waterproofing from always said "think like a raindrop". Do that, and you'll get the layers of bituthene in the correct order. Any brand of asphaltic membrane will work, they are all basically the same stuff. You can get it in various widths. When doing the sill, put half of the width on the sill, the other wraps over the bottom. At the edges, cut the width in half. One half goes up the side, the other goes straight along the bottom. Do the same thing down each side, layering that over the bottom layer. You can make a little bow tie shaped patch for the corners. The stretch Zip brand tape is probably easier, but not necessary. Great job!

ROCKET STOVE ROCKET STOVE !!! WOOOHOOO!!! SORRY IT LEAKED BUT VERY KOOL VIDEO! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

Increíble que con sólo ver vídeos en KZfaq puedas estar construyendo una cabaña en el acantilado, admiro tu determinación, fortaleza y disciplina para seguir adelante. Linda tu cabaña, linda tu vista y linda tú ojitos de gata 😊

Michelle vs. Tyvek ----> 1:0 yay! congrats!

MOST elegant. Also...Great work!

When I first saw the thumbnail for this video, I had to laugh. I thought you were hugging the wall because you were so grateful that you finally had eliminated the Tyvek noise. 😆

Can't wait to see the sailboat out front.❤❤

You have such a great husband! Steve takes such great care of you, he is definitely a keeper!

I love that view of the lake and the mountains!

MISSY,, i sure hope the dogs are all doing well and GOD only knows how much i love those little shorts u wear with the flowers on them, thanks 😁😁😁

Looking good (both the home and you) 👍

Hi there pretty lady. Pleaes be carefull working around and on that cliff. make sure your safe. The deck looks wonderful. Great job. Love the vids. Thanks for sharing.

I Second the comment below on your use of the battery-powered Stihl chainsaw -- well done you! (I told you it would become one of your "go-to" tools. I use mine, damn-near every day.) Cheers from the Willamette Valley.

Made my morning!!:) another awesome episode:)))

Well done…getting near the finish line on the exterior…stay safe and sound….

I seal the window opening with tyvek or tar paper first. I caulks the flange then set the window. I seal the flange after I nail it in with the buytal tape. Seal from the bottom to the top.

You are a gutsy little lady and you are doing a great job .Keep it up.Greetings from Alberta

You are doing such a great job. Better hurry winter is coming fast .

What a woman.just a worker n thinker.good stuff.

i made our pool heater out of a 55 gallon barrel, about 40 feet of copper tube and a bilge pump. haven't used it in a few years but it worked great

Putting up that insulation and being *this close* to finishing the window install seems like a huge step. I bet that was pretty gratifying.

On widow prep like you did.Then staple once flap above to keep out of way.Then silicone flange and set.If you don't silicon then set and membrane sides , followed by top last.

Awesome, I know that you are so stoked to get this done, and when Michnu takes on her multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of Tyvex"🤣🥰

Very well presented young lady on all counts nice to see progress on the cliff shack come hotel lol

Again bravo and congrats from Montreal…tout un exploit ce work in progress…👏👏👏👍👍👍😉

Michy watching you install windows ,transported me back to the homesteading days and what it was like for them to install foam ,sill wrap ect. What an historic moment for me.Thankyou 😊

Thanks for sharing Michelle as always a great hustle around your property now you better hurry and put a patent on that broom, lol, what can you say you're still on the RD phase of your hot-tub great job keep up the great work.

My first time here michelle ! You are an incredible lady . God Bless Bob M .

Now that's a original use for a boning knife 😂 Hey, whatever works, at least it cuts.

I’ve never done all that around windows & can never recall a leak in my house or any customers. But I’m sure what your doing is more than enough especially for a cabin in the wilderness. That’s probably how they do these airtight methods in today’s residential construction.

Do NOT use silicone around windows on the flange! It makes replacing them VERY messy and is unnecessary. I'm glad you didn't have any! ALSO, @25:57... BOTH pipe openings in the hot tub MUST be underwater for the thermo-siphon effect to work. you CANNOT have the hot water pipe above the waterline, otherwise you will boil the water and only steam will come out, with spurts of water. And YES, you need extremely low resistance to flow when relying on using thermo-siphon effect to pump water based on the density change of heated water, a 1" pipe is not big enough to allow for good flow.

Love the way you think on the fly!👍

Love the flower shorts 😁. I need to watch this one twice so I can overcome the distractions first then really enjoy what you are doing. Funny one, when you said it was about 5 it was 2 min to 5 where I am. It gave me a chuckle. Great to see you moving forward. 😁

Your new Indian name is "Woman who stabs annoying Tyvek". I'll bet those windows never leak. At least not while you own the cabin. Good to see you getting closer to siding. Anticipating good times in the hot tub.

Howdy Michelle & Steve, I have a "smart" suggestion for temperature controls on the hot tub. Use a Sonoff TH16 with probe to control a water circulating pump through the wood stove. You can set the temperature from inside the house via the eWelink app to within 1 degree. I would suggest a second pump, on a separate Sonoff Mini R2 to keep the water circulating like a Jacuzzi. Place these controls in a water tight electrical enclosure. Both are accessible via Alexa & you can ask Alexa what the hot tub temperature is from inside your home & make changes on your phone. Just imagine being in the hot tub and asking Alexa to " turn the bubbles on", and you get bubbling jets of water via voice. BTW: the Sonoff Mini R2 has 2 terminals you can use to turn on the bubbles that use no power, but instead use 2 wires on the logic terminals (grey) to activate the chip for manual operation at the hot tub via a rocker switch on the outside of the electrical enclosure. The switch will work in unison with voice command. To avoid runaway heat you will need to divert hot water to a separate place or risk damage to the boiler from over pressure when the probe cuts off flow to the hot tub. For this, divert the water to a radiator with electric cooling fan and another temperature probe and pump.

Thank you for sharing your dream with us folks who trek around KZfaq for entertainment! traveling along with you as you figure out the ins and outs of each task makes for great fun!

I sure love you and Steve, and all the fur babies: LOL I would love to be you guys neighbor. I am 71 now, looking back, would that i had done what you guys are doing back in my 20-30's. Well you guys bring me along with your journey and i am happy with that. Steve you appear to be a good honest and humble man, with common sense, and an engineering look at things; Michelle is fortunate, and Michelle your a good woman, wife, smart, very good common sense. Steve is blessed... Keep the videos coming, if and when you can. You guys feel like family to me. From SE Texas Bear 💙❤💯🙏 Tell Steve i said hey :) Bless you guys :)

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, these are a few of my favorite things.

Speaking as a Canadian, I love the quintessentially ubiquitous filleting/fishing knife as your Tyvek cutting tool... Don't sell that broom! Hang it in place of honour in the "Michygoss Museum of Building History." (Charge a Toonie to view.) While at the welders, don't let them alter the originally welded-in brackets, as the water heats up, all those holes in the brackets will cause a bubbly whirlpool effect -- it's a bonus! Cheers from a (displaced) West Kootenay guy.

To protect wooden frames from the elements I use pine resin tar. It is a bactericide and fungicide. The construction of the cabin is progressing well. Well done Michèle 👏 Have pleasant moments ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋

Hahaha you do the same thing as I do with a tape measure when you're attempting to measure something bigger than yourself........ yup just stand on the tape and that will make it reach the ground👍 love it

A fine cabin, should be warm too! Nice video!

Love witching your videos its good to see im not the only one who over thinks but we get there in the end. Thank you 😊

What I enjoy watching here the most is how you really take your time to see your way through a problem… I enjoy it when you show how taking your time through your problems is more important then just trying to get through an issue just to get it done. I also like that you research for the best solutions. Slow and Steady Wins the Race.

Excellent progress on both counts Michelle. Thank you for sharing and continue to be safe my dear friend. Say hello to the little chipmunk for me. And of course the lads and kitty!

happy weekend sis i not care what people say you doing great pat on your back

I like the way the cabin is coming, can't wait to see the Christmas Tree inside and the nice snow storm outside, I can almost hear jingle bell in my head ;) :) :) :)

Awesome…. The whole point is you are making sure you find out what you are unsure about to get the final project right, even when it means one step back to go three steps forward…that’s Engineer thinking…. all good stuff… everything comes out in the wash … 😊

Always enjoy watching you skillfully build your cabin on the edge. 😊👍🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦💙😊

You give some awesome views and the scenery is beautiful to lol . love watching your videos they are great . Would be fantastic to see a full walk around your property and the landscape.

Good work in the window insulation and installation Michele. The one inch sealed foam should give you a nice snug and warm cabin. Too bad about the hot tub heater. Like you said good idea to test stuff before installing it. Still a beautiful view from the cliff! Stay safe lady!😊

love the filleting knife /utility knife lol

You are just incredible "STAY SAFE"😍😍😍

You can do anything Michelle….. thanks for sharing, always a treat to see that you have uploaded a new video!

minor set backs.. that its just part of life. The projects will get done. Keep at it. you are an inspiration to us guys as well. Thanks for uploading.

I’ve always wrapped the Tyvek , then installed the windows and then put up a flashing perimeter of ice and water shield that overlap to keep water out. I do that with any hole in the building (doors, windows, vents, chimneys, exhausts, etc). It’s the way I was taught. If your way works for you, that’s fine by me lol

Michelle rocks hard. Nice work.

Next build...a matching cabin for your little chipmunk 🐿 friend ❤

Spray foam works to fill any gaps in the ridged foam insulation. There are lots of ways and products to install windows and new ones being developed all the time. Obviously the goal is to get it water tight. If it fails you can fix it. Thanks for the episode.

Awesome work. Thank you for all the great info and techniques!

The cabin is looking great

Hello Michelle super boulot comme toujours 👍😊😘

Hey Michelle, Great video, good job on the Cabin and the hot tub is coming along great, typical about the log burner eh, (at least you found out on the test run!) Ps. You Need to start keeping your tools under the window lol 😂🤦🏻 Have a great week! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I'm happy for you, that your Tyvek nemesis has been slashed! 'Bout time, eh? Your are doing a really great job on your cabin. Your can-do attitude is unstoppable. Thanks, MG! (Michelle Gerbil) 😄

What a thrill it is to see a new video posted. It means I can escape for a few minutes and enjoy you and your husbands accomplishments. Take your time and plan every move for safety.

I love how you just go .❤

Nice video.....thanks Michelle! I love the way you're not afraid to take on any job even though you've never done it before. Shows a lot of self belief!

Morning having my coffee watching you . I see you’re enjoying your new saw . Got to get me one . Awesome video thanks 😊
