Arnold, CA…For Day 10 we started working on the ceiling & loft joists. First though coffee was in order. As we clear trails on the property we try to put the twigs and branches to a good use. So they looked to have enough BTUs to percolate a pot of coffee and and get ready […]
Arnold, CA…For Day Nine we finally got back to work on the actual cabin after a necessary detour to get the basics of our water system in place. In this video we just did a bit of clean up on the tops of the walls as we get ready to finally get a roof on […]
Arnold, CA…For Day Eight our work focused for seeing if our small pump could keep up with the output from the spring which is about 75 feet from the storage tanks. There is also a 30 foot elevation change as well. The head pressure slowed the pump output so in our testing the pump & […]
Arnold, CA…For Day Seven our work focused on completing winter storm damage to our floor joists & reinstalling our floor. Even with a covering tarp the amount of water from the winter storms swelled the floorboards, broke off lag screws and pushed the walls out. We are now back to a solid base and time […]

As we started moving dirt water started to pour out of the hill. The more dirt we moved the waterflow increased. Having a potential […]
Arnold, CA…Just a short video today. In the area where we are going to put a small outdoor kitchen we hit a spring. Good news is there is water, bad news is we need to make a spring box to make it useable. With where this spring is there is a good chance this one […]
Arnold, CA…In this video we cut a few additional boards for our rafters & floor joists. The ones we made a few days ago were a bit too short for the floor joists. We can use them somewhere else so they won’t go to waste. We forgot we will need a few extra inches to […]
