Arnold, CA…Well we wanted to get something done everyday consecutively until it was finished. However, thankfully we have actually had moisture in various forms falling from the sky and it is still falling as I write this. I will get something done on it this evening as it is supposed to dry out a bit. […]
Arnold, CA…We started with a log that was almost 17 feet long and cut it in two to be able to move it around. We were able to get 10 boards ranging from just over 8 inches wide to over 16 inches wide. As you may have seen we chalked a centerline and then just […]
Arnold, CA…After a bit of moisture from the sky we are back in action. On our Day Nine work session we marked and started cutting slices of lumber from this log with hopefully will be Wallboards on the Chainsaw Cabin. We are largely just eyeballing it and trying to get boards that are good enough […]

Tomorrow we hope to get them all leveled out, squared up and ready for walls. The Chainsaw Cabin is our […]

Arnold, CA…A few inches of snow and plunging temps made doing the dirt work a bit tougher. But any progress is progress, right? Details are below…
Arnold, CA…On February 21st we worked several hours on the pad for the Chainsaw Cabin. It is starting to take shape but still many hours left to go before we can start laying out the cabin. Video is below…
Arnold, CA…On February 20th, we spent a few more hours working at the property. Mostly it was pad, path and cleanup work. Not too fun to do or watch but necessary none the less.
Arnold, CA…On February 19th we didn’t finish our work until 3:30pm so we were chasing darkness. Working on the trail to our first little building pad was the task at hand. Clearing brush, transplanting some small trees and breaking a shovel were the highlights for the day.
