Arnold, CA…Last year we had started cutting logs for our first little log cabin. We have adjusted our plans though and our first building on the property will be a shed/cabin/office closer to the driveway and parking lot. This building will just be a 10 x 12, 120 square foot single wall construction building with […]
Arnold, CA…We were going to start milling this evening. We were…but a little voice said (Finish one project before staring next one) So we finished the rest of our downed branches and made our first hoodie. A photo and video is below…
Arnold, CA…For today we thought we would take a look back at a book that for many started it all. Many young readers including me dreamed of one day going into the woods and building our own small cabin. The quote below has spoken to almost all of us at one time or another. “I […]
Arnold, CA…In tonight’s video we cleared away the snow from our log pile that has been aging about a year getting ready to be milled. The temps are going to be above freezing the next few days so if we removed the snow tonight by tomorrow night we should be dry enough to start making […]
Arnold, CA…On January 10th we did work on project but not much that was worth video. So we thought a bit of trail cam footage on property might do the trick for today. We needed to change the batteries anyway so it was a good time to pull the files. The video is just raw […]
Arnold, CA….Normally I am not a big football watcher as I usually feel too guilty for not putting my time to a more productive use. But I could not resist today with teams fighting to get a playoff spot. I did however get a bit more done cleaning up the downed branches…
Arnold, CA…Today was a bit more treading water instead of real progress. We count ourselves lucky though as in this last winter storm many had real damage from downed trees and more. We just had downed limbs & debris that made a mess. Yes as is our want we are turning even this into fuel […]
Arnold, CA….After the recent winter storms that left us without power for 5 days last week and in some areas 5 feet of snow we needed to run some errands and clean and catch up. So there will be no video today but just a photo. We know is early in our project but we […]
Arnold, CA…Today was a loooong news day so we didn’t get to work on our Hewn project until after 11pm this eve. We have needed to get a burned oil line of our old 1942 Ford GPW Jeep so we can order a new one. It was in a hard to get to place and […]
Arnold, CA…This afternoon we cleared away the brush from the northern side of our building site. Looks like we will have to move a few wheelbarrow loads of material to get the pad level. But all in all not so bad for building on the side of a hill.
