I cut down dead pine trees that are on my 40 acre property to build a log cabin sugar shack that will house a maple sap boiler so we can enjoy some delicious maple syrup in the spring. With the help of my chainsaw, I'll cut down all the overgrown and shaded out dead pines which I will cut into log to build a sugar shack. The pines in this replanted forest are fat too overgrown and have been grossly mismanaged. The trees should have be cut and thinned nearly a decade ago. Removing the dead trees is a good start to rehabilitating the forest. Later, we will thin even more and get the forest ready for replanting and rejuvenating. We will mostly be cutting trees and then getting the site chosen. It's a lot of tree felling, and hauling to get our raw materials.

Removing the dead trees is a good start to rehabilitating the forest. Later, we will thin even more and get the forest ready for replanting and rejuvenating. In this part, we will start building the log cabin from the foundation up. I will use the butt-and-pass method which laps one row of logs over the other, while fastening the logs together with spikes. This is simpler and quicker because it does not require the tedious work of scribing each log and notching. A butt-and-pass corner joint on a log home creates the look of a rustic, old-fashioned cabin. As the logs are laid to create the outside corners of the building, the first log on each layer extends past the corner, and the log forming the other wall butts into the first. As the timbers are laid to build up the corner, the extended logs alternate for an effect that resembles interlaced fingers. We will continue to erect the log cabin walls from the foundation up.

The log cabin is intended to be used as a sugar shack where we can boil fresh maple sap and turn it into delicious maple syrup. The log cabin is being built on a large track of private land as part of a homestead. We have built other buildings such as the main cabin, the outhouse, the small cube, the root cellar and even dug a pond My Brother The Wooded Beardsman's Channel:    / billert55   SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram:   / wood_chucker_987   Facebook:   / modernselfreliancechannel   SPONSORS MMM-Grill (use code MSR10 for a 10% discount): https://www.shop.mmm-usa.com/product-...

It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle. #EcoFlow #EcoFlowDELTA #PowerStation
