 It's like an ant or one of those flying ants carrying a caterpillar, pretty cool, but that is not why I said you're not going to believe it, oh man, I don't know why the live feed cut out on the last one, I was melancholy, maybe the camera got too hot again or something but you're not going to believe this, Donny said we needed eight more two by eight eight footers to finish this entire job at the mill and that one log I just cut, I was able to get eight two by eights out of it and I also got one, two, three, four, five two by fours to go with it, so we are done, we're done milling, cannot believe it, I'm so excited, I'm so pumped up, finally done milling, done at the mill for this whole project, which I love to do, I love milling, I love cutting my own lumber, I love cutting my own lumber and doing something with it and from the trees right to the building project is always awesome, but this one was starting to, starting to kind of wear on me, we just had so many breakdowns and the mill's been running at like 60% power probably for quite a while, she's seconds away from detonating at any time, I think Donny's got a new motor on order or he's pretty close to ordering it because this one's pretty well gone, it's an antique mill, it's 40 years old or 41 years old and you know we put a lot of use on it and got a lot of lumber milled out of this mill, but if you're just tuning in now guys, I just made the announcement that I've cut my last piece of lumber for this project, I was able to somehow I got two, I got eight, two by eights out of this, make sure my count is right because I don't want to be wrong, four, five, six, seven, yep eight, two by eights, I also got one, two, three, four, five, two by fours as byproducts of going after those two by eights, so I'm super super pumped, I'm done milling for this wilderness camp build, all done, that's it, no more milling on this one, Donny's going to be super excited, I know that and tomorrow we're going to load all this lumber up on NC Hunt lumber, NC Hunt Brothers lumber truck and they're going to haul it up north for us so we're going to haul, we're going to load as much as we can, we originally thought we could get it all on the load, we're also buying concrete blocks from them, we're buying a lift of a Vantac, we're buying a lift of blue two inch Styrofoam and maybe a couple various other building stuff, so I'm not sure we'll be able to get it all on there, I've seen those trucks haul big loads with trusses and studs and two by six lumber too, so I'm hoping we can get everything on there, we have two different sets of rafters, we're 16 foot long at our longest and yeah, really hoping we can get it all on that load tomorrow, I'll be towing up a trailer full of various tools and building supplies, if you guys like, if you guys want to see some like tool reviews I guess on some on some new tools, especially Milwaukee tools, tune over to my other channel is JH Roughcutt, we'll be putting like the tool reviews and unboxings on those, I picked up like, I don't know, 15 on two grand worth of tools yesterday from the Home Depot, mostly Milwaukee stuff, so if you want to see reviews like real no-bull reviews because we're not sponsored and even if we were you'd get no-bull reviews anyway, but yeah there's no affiliation or anything, we're gonna open them out of the box, we're gonna slap a battery in and we're gonna use them and you know we're gonna let you know because we're gonna be in the woods and we're really relying on these tools, so if you guys, if you guys are on the fence about buying tools whether it be nail guns, saws, different types of saws or anything along those lines with the Milwaukee stuff, tune into that other channel is JH Roughcutt and then we're gonna be doing some a lot more in-depth stuff on the build on that channel and then on this channel my regular fishing channel will be vlogging, you know you'll see like our day-to-day activities, what we get done in a day, you know what we eat in the morning till what we eat at night and everything in between and the planning process. Bear with us on the build, you know I know you guys could probably get it done in four or five days, but Donny's 81 years old and he works till about noon every day and that's that's it, you know and then the rest of the day he does pick a pick away on some stuff and he's always good for an amazing dinner but this isn't a race this this project we just want to build this cabin we want to build it the right way and we want to have fun doing it so we're not up against any deadlines that's the cool thing we're building it for ourselves and you know the only deadline that we've set for ourselves is to get it you know buttoned up before snow fly or before winter so even if we get an early snow we'll be ready and we'll be able to handle it but I got a list like this long of stuff I had to I still have to pack because when you're building in the wilderness you can't just run to the hardware store or run to your garage or run to your shop or grab this tool or this side screw or or or more lumber or anything like that so I got a really long list I've been packing a snow wheel trailer right full of gear and tools and stuff like that if there's anything odd or weird that you guys can think of that they that maybe I've forgotten about just just let me know like if there's something weird that that you could forget that you might need on a trip like this let me know because I've been racking my brains for the last two or three weeks and writing down some really weird stuff and and I think we got everything but you know darn well we're not gonna have everything it's just the nature of the beast we're gonna get up there and eat a doom a flogging all we got to doom a jiggy so don't know if chat's working let me know if chat's working just just give a quick hello on this thing I got a set on vertical mode and pointed towards me I don't think chat's working because there's no one chatting through but let me see if I can figure this thing out nope I guess chat's not working weird chat viewing options all messages visible not sure but anyway if if you guys are out there throw a chat on there maybe I'll get it throw a thumbs up on there if you like this type of stuff if you're just tuning in now guys I've caught my last stick of lumber for this wilderness project it's been a long arduous process if you've been following along we've had tons and tons of breakdowns the mill is definitely on her last legs she doesn't have a lot of life left in her and I'm just so pleased that we were able to get through all the cuts that we needed to get that we or at least that we think we do we think we have extra of everything but I'm gonna turn this camera around for you oh there's the chat awesome alright it's coming through cool thank you guys thanks for letting me know I'm gonna turn this around show you our lumber piles so various 2x4s and couple 2x8s in this pile this was just kind of like byproducts when we were going after 2x10s that's our floor system our floor stringers are gonna be 2x10s and those are gonna be resting on a beam on the outside like a joist and then a beam down the middle to those are floor joists these are our 14 and 16 foot roof rafters they're 2x8s 2x8s roof rafters get a couple various 2x4s mixed in got a lot of those the building is 28x28 and 8 of that 28 foot farmers portion this is our foundation this is what they're gonna be sitting on our these 6x6 blocks and we got some various 2x8s in there too that's that's not for this project that's another project there and then down here's our studs these are our stud pile right here Donnie stacked these tight this morning we should have you like 170 or so of those and that's our 2x4x8s right there and you let us know let us know if you think we're gonna be able to get all those on one lumber load one truck from the lumber company has with one of those lifts we already ran all our sheathen up there all our boards anyway up there so that's up there waiting for us and hopefully tomorrow or tomorrow afternoon we're gonna get this loaded up and then Tuesday we're heading up I'm super excited I have like this great feeling right now because I was able to get 8 2x8s out of that log and that's exactly what Donnie said we needed to finish this job so like I'm so pumped right now guys like so excited that we're done because the whole process has been a nail bite or whether the mill was gonna hold up and not break whether we're gonna blow the mill the motor up whether we're gonna get attacked by this hornet's nest that's 10 feet away from the motor you know just everything in this process and you can get hurt doing this stuff too and luckily no one got hurt so the whole process is this part of the process is done it's super rewarding there's nothing like you know Donnie owns these trees and grew and it's on his wood lot so it's even more rewarding for him but for me to go out and fell one of these trees and drop it and then drag it into the mill and cut it up to length and cut it into lumber that's just such a great feeling guys and then use that lumber you know so we're pretty pumped about that hello from Peabody Mass nice Donnie loves it I do too but Donnie really loves when you guys let him know where you're tuning in from whether it be near or far it just blows his mind how far this internet thing has traveled over the years but yeah he really appreciates all the support too I appreciate the support I'm gonna take a bunch of questions here if you guys want any if you have any questions on the build or the process or the milling part just let me know I'm at the mill right now as you could see it shut off for the last time I hope on this project yeah I think I think we've milled extra of everything just in case you know something breaks or the board warps or whatever we mess one up Shane's tuning in from Connecticut that's pretty awesome hopefully you guys too like like this type of stuff you tune in for the build too if you're just tuning in now I was mentioning earlier my other channel is called JH Roughcutt and that one's gonna have a lot more like tool reviews on the new tools we're using it'll also have it'll have you know like how to hang a rafter or how to cut a rafter or how to hang floor joist stuff like that so I'm about as close as I want to be to this wasp nest but I'm gonna turn that around show you guys those are white faced hornets and those are bad they're bad man my jammies if this camera drops and you see and you hear footsteps that means I've gotten stung and I'm running but I think you can see him going in there the hole is just about the size of a finger so I'm thinking about putting a finger in there if there are any volunteers out there let me know they're coming and going yeah the height of that nest is about 10 feet so it looks like we're gonna get 10 feet of snow this year you know and it's funny a lot of people laugh at that but if we got in snow what we got in rain this year we'd be 20 feet under we got so much rain here in Maine in this area I don't know about where you guys live but we had a wash it was a wash of a year well that was the update I wanted to tell you guys that you weren't gonna believe is that we're done we are done cutting lumber Donnie's tickled pink about it I'm tickled pink about it super happy I love cutting lumber I love millen I love millen for myself or for her friends and it's done so that makes me super happy that's gonna be it for this live I'll stick around for any other questions you guys have and if you if you have any questions and you're watching this and you're not watching it live I still get all the comments come through on my feed and I try to get back to every everybody that's one thing northern Michigan that's really cool that's one thing about the channel that that I've always you know enjoyed doing is you know someone takes time out to leave a comment that means something and I always get back to them with an answer or another comment so so if you're not watching this live feel free to check in but otherwise that's it guys like that's it I am tired it's been a struggle it's been a long long road getting to where we are and we did it with half a day to spare so good to go for loading up tomorrow and trucking this stuff six hours north and then and then being able to so we're pretty excited but those bees are like getting shot by 22 and can hit you more than once yeah those are the ones that are bad those white-faced hornets they're awful I'm gonna kill them I'll get them eventually but awesome thanks for tuning in guys tune into the next one I'll see you then
