Top 10 Things To Consider Before You Buy Land
Get healthy soon.
Great Advice!!! Thanks!
my wife and I have lived in an army command tent for over a decade.Canvas is starting to fail and we are preparing to put up a new one.
Title is "Attic Floor, 3/4 Tongue Groove," but didn't see any of it, e.g. material, installation, etc.
Get a TMK tree sheer with a delimber. It will do a lot of that process in one pass and its much cheaper than an actual harvester attachment.
search for online stair calculator. Enter in your height (don't forget it's the height from finished floor to finished floor.) It will tell you your exact angle after you put in your preferred step height/tread depth. There are minimum/maximum values for both. Also, where I live, that's too far of a run of uninterrupted stairs to meet code. Imagine falling down the whole flight. Not sure if you have inspections or if they will care, but I'd have to build a landing.
Great work guys, you've changed my mind on how ill be doing mine
I’d strong back the tall wall every 4’ oc and 8’ oc for the rest of the walls. I would use turn buckles with 4”X 4”s to brace the walls.. Bomb proof it..! That way you can sleep at nite…
Can anyone tell me how to secure/attach an already built log cabin after its lifted , on a block or concrete foundation?
We built a 3 rail around our house there, but when installing the lag bolts we put washers on the bolt so the head didn't eat into the pole. I wish I had a drill like that though, would have made my fence building a lot quicker. Thanks for the video.
What was your son looking for in the shoe?
Yurt
That is a gold mine of plywood. A man could retire if he had that much plywood he could sell
Did nearby homes add fill that caused your flooding?...our neighborhood has that issue...that never ends as ech site adds fill.
Outstanding and practical review! Considering a Bladerunner or a larger machine as my Cat310 is a little light for grubbing larger trees but is great for shear, brush cutting, and light dirt work. Definitely helps when you can get an honest review from a highly experienced operator! Option is to buy a good used dozer…
We now have a cat 306 and a cat 320E as well as a D5 dozer that make a really good team.
@@EssentialMountainHomesteading The Bladerunner is definitely an interesting concept. On the right kind of job it probably would work very well, but as you know, once you purchase one, reality hits home and if you misjudged the benefits and made a bad decision, it can take years to recoup the cost and straighten out your fleet. Definitely a happy new subscriber! I'm clearing trash trees from around my farmland, lots of Ash, Locust, Mullberry, etc. that are about 20 years past due. Certainly is a learning curve to all of this! I may even do some videos one of these days...
is that 1" plywood?
3/4 inch
His name is Heath 😅
A sharp or a new chain would do wonders
Very very very gross intro. You think its worth all the people you force to think about the gross images your intro implies? You are an A hole!
Like that machine!
I noticed you used the same voice over on two different videos
3-2 is double and then add half on yhe sister is code. Keep going brother looks great!
About the tails. Sometimes that happens. Good recovery tho....i missed it did you ladder system the tails or 3-2 them?
Looks great! Good job
Not trying to argue or discriminate, just interested
Why not just build the exterior wall higher?
That's u huge heal to tie in. Was that the design or a whoops?
Tell your track hoe operator that dirt doesn’t burn 😂
Love it “i have a cute house “ 😂. Straight to the basics, i need a safe long lasting house to build/grow my family. Wish you be down in Florida
Using this fence design as inspiration for my own!
Where are the other steps?
I see that you dont have any settling jacks under the 2 loft ridge beam supports. Do you not need them ?
Great video, excellent workmanship.
'promosm' ❤️
Josh. If I could only have 1 piece of equipment to work my small 120 acre homestead what should it be? I am aware that big machines take big tools to fix. My last machine was a kubota B21 TLB. I SEE LOTS OF TRENCHING, DIGGING, GRADING. NOT MUCH LIFT AND LOADING.
PWH, For what you are talking about I think a 60 HP 4x4 tractor would be the best fit and then a close second option would be a skid steer.
Most people in the city have no idea what it takes to simply flush a toilet or turn on the shower. That is an amazing rock garden. It will likely bloom into a wonderful rattlesnake garden as well. Now, all you need is a teenager to flush junk and plug it all up. When it comes to buckets, size matters.
Thanks for noticing the rock garden! It's a work in progress, but I'm excited to see how it turns out.
Love the idea of building interior walls on the horses...
Thanks for liking the idea of interior walls on the horses! It's a fun project to work on.
Such a waste, people would come cut it for firewood, make money on it.
I wish it worked that way. We had it advertised for free for a long time and a few people come and picked up a little but in north Idaho there is some much wood and this cotton wood is not the most desirable to heat your house with. So we decided to just get rid of it
good to see you posting again.. missed ya
I was just taking an extended coffee break, but I'm back now!
We have owned a few versions of these classic vehicles and the best in my humble opinion was a Series 3 109" 6 cylinder factory standard Rover inline 6 2.6l sidevalve which was indestructible. Ours was the same Safari Stationwagon with the double roof and included an opening windscreen. Our favourite pastime was to roam through the African Bush around the Kruger NationalPark where we lived at the time and KwaZulu Natal with the windscreen down and the front door tops off. It never ever lt us down and was huge fun in the Bush offroad. You have made my day with this video. Keep 'em coming please! Greetings from the KwaZul Natalbush.
Craig, I’m ready to upgrade. I have been out looking for a TD5 maybe a 1999 or 2000 in white or green. I’m jealous that you got to spend time offloading around Africa. I can only imagine all of the adventures that you had and the memories you made. Thank you for watching and thank you for sharing..
@@EssentialMountainHomesteading My last Landy s a 2000 110 Defender TD5 County SW which served me very well and took me over 380 000km's through virgin Bush in Swaziland and the Lowveld including Mozambique. I drove around the Bush in Swaziland and all the way home to Durban sans a clutch which was interesting. I'd buy another if I could but they've become very expensive now.
@@craigdouglasmartens7037 That sounds like a really good time. You definitely know how to make a guy jealous.
One more consideration is, you can't just mill your lumber and put it to use. It needs to dry which takes time. That is unless you know someone or somewhere to dry it in a kiln
I would love to have a kiln for drying lumber
No vibe concrete. That's a first.
You can rent a cran
Yes, you can get someone to come out with a Crain and charger you hourly for there time. But it’s not cheep and you are a prisoner to the Crain’s schedule. We made a decision early to keep control of the building schedule because our short building season. When the project is over we can sell the Crain and recoup some of the expenses.
Hey I am recording right now let's keep the dirty comments to the minimum
I'll save the dirty jokes for the behind-the-scenes footage!
It is great having your children working along the side of you, that way they feel like they were a part of the build.
That's so true! It's a special bonding experience to work on projects together.
equipment is invaluable
I couldn't agree more! Having the right equipment can really take your project to the next level.
A DitchWitch. That would be effective in this scenario.
The ditch-witch would be perfect in the summer but totally ineffective in the frosty ground during the winter.
@@EssentialMountainHomesteading What? That is Surprising. We use in in Northern California and Southern Oregon all the time. The ground does freeze in that region. We do get snow. What does it do? Just skip over the surface?
Why do some people build with round timbers and other split the wood to remove pith? Trying to learn and have a bunch of round wood that people are telling me I need to split before it gets cracked and ruined? Or is there a way to store rounds so this doesn’t happen?
All wood is going to check / split as it dries out. The best thing to do is know what you are going to build and then cut and prep your wood for your project. It may mean you have to cut your lumber over size and let it dry and then come back and recut it to the dementions you need for the project.
@@EssentialMountainHomesteading so am I understanding correctly the checking is fine if you’re keeping it as round wood and using as such… but not so much if you are storing the round wood stock to eventually be cut into boards?
I think checking is fine in all wood and I think cutting your round trees into boards is a good way to help it dry sooner.
I think this is one of the better Woodmizer videos I have seen. You make a lot of good, well thought-out points. I have been running my LT40 for about eight years. Before that I had had other people mill for me, but I enjoy doing it myself. I have milled lumber for siding ( pine and cedar), decks ( cedar ),barn frames and similar projects. I have over 50 yrs experience as a timber industry worker, and a carpenter, and agree with you there's a lot more to producing lumber than it looks like. Here in Northern California we have access to good quality timber...mainly from our own land.I love building with lumber I have milled, and seeing other people use it. When it comes to using your own lumber for framing a house, there are building code issues. They can be overcome if you want to do it, but it's a hassle. Milling your own lumber is not for everybody, and considering the expense of the equipment, and time involved it may not be worth it. But for creative people who love wood and building with it, there is a lot of satisfaction to be had!
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with milling lumber. It's great to hear about your passion for woodworking! I love what you say about creative people and a love of wood and building, I could not agree more!
Good points in this video Josh. cabin build is incredible. Those giant beams are amazing!
I really appreciate your support and feedback on the cabin build video. It means a lot to me!
Yo brother. Glad to see things moving along well. My high desert homestead lacks harvestable trees. I can make it work though
Who needs trees when you can have cacti as your lumber source? Desert vibes all the way!
