Well, it looks like I may have just attracted even more Japanese beetle to my garden by using the Japanese beetle trap.😒 On the box, it said to place it 10ft downwind from the foliage. So I placed it

I love cooking over the fire at the cabin! The old heavy duty skillet and old heavy duty grill (handed down from Jay's grandfather) are my favorite campfire cooking tools! Medium-rare prime rib steaks

Well, my garden has to be crazy full of weeds by now, it has been so humid and stormy these past 3 days! I hope the rain stops soon, or I will be weeding that garden until Jay gets back! 😆 Some of last

Warning- these videos more than likely contain a bit of swearing, lol this one went sideways You hear Jay in this one "hell ya you should!" 😆 @leemlaframboise @medic8553 #north-woods

The far end of the lake where it gets long and narrow. In the video, you can see a huge rock cliff that Dallas had jumped off of last year. We come up to it at 2:05min. @leemlaframboise @medic8553 #north-wods

Since it's Thursday and I just posted some great cabin progress photos, I figured I'd throw out a Throwback Thursday!! To the first tree fell, late November 2016. Ultimate dream is right.. this post uses

Decided to use the ole YouTube, DTube just wasn't going to let me upload. 😒 Jay, Dallas and I got the second timber rafter up, the first rafter was a lot of up and down, adjusting our cables and ties

Jay and I have been at the cabin for just over a week working to get the frame raised. Well, we didn't get the entire frame raised this trip, we had one rafter and 6 purlins left to get up but ran out

A hand drill is an important tool for us in timber-framing, its used to make the holes for the pegs which hold the timber frame tightly together. ▶️ DTube ▶️ IPFS

Jay and I have been at the cabin getting some work done and haven’t had the best of service. I tried a few times now to post with no luck. The timber frame should be ready to start hammering in the pegs

This is always a hit in the house so I make a pretty big pot when I make it. I am not great at measuring ingredients, I do a lot of eyeballing, LOL! This time around I made sure to get some measurements

Dallas hauling in scaffolding When we were bringing up the firewood we had dumped on the shoreline, lol. Weeeee!!! It was getting hot! When Jay and I brought the truck out I totally forgot about the trail

The manure is bringing up tons and tons of thistle weeds. picture was taken the night before I weeded Peas and beans look good The cabbage appears to be recuperating from the beetles, there is still beetles

Fresh moose tracks, a cow and calf. Lil guy landed on my quad while I was unpacking it. Had an Eagle flying over us for a while. First catch! Don't forget the bailing bucket! lol, my dirty feet The biggest

So I have decided it makes more sense to have the tools/ tool shed closer to the decks where everything is normally worked on and it is way more level and dry over there too! The skids under the shed right

I took a break from getting the shed prepared to move to a different spot in the yard (emptied, lifted, blocked up, cleaned up the area to put it, etc) I will make a post on this shortly. Dallas and I

Well, its been a few days since my last post, I haven't been feeling so great. I just have too much on my plate and I am not hungry anymore! ;) Here is what I have been up to. This Japanese Bettle trap

One thing I do not like is mowing the lawn, its time consuming (I could be doing other productive things). Got the mower gassed up, hooked up and ready to go. I had to mow it twice!! Its really just a

Well, I have been back home now for two days now and I am overloaded already! Jay also headed back to work early this morning for another 2 weeks! My garden is quite weedy and I also have some little beetles

Got camp cleaned up and head back home...I really hate this part.....I don't want to leave ever, I just wanna here stay forever 😢 Crossing the small flooded creek Jay and Dallas stuck 😂 Seen these cute
