It's time to move on from this.

I take the newly built ladder out to the cliff, with some firewood and odds and ends, to stay the night for my first sleep in the loft. Luna is with me, so I wanna take her on some fun adventures too, taking advantage of the fact that there is no snow there. Woooo hooooo!!
I’ll show you some places on the property in this video, and also start working on adding structural integrity to the loft. But between this and the ladder set up/install I’m feeling like I need to move on from this - it’s time to walk away from the inside of the cabin and start on something else. I’m pretty sure siding is next on the list. 😁
Thanks for watching and see you in the next one!
M 💝💝
(Ps - I do think the stove top fan did help distribute the heat more evenly throughout the cabin. Thought the outside temps were warmer than my last visit, the cabin was more comfortable this time. I was very warm in the loft, and the morning temperature inside was about 8 degrees Celsius with outside being about -5 Celsius)

    An idea you might consider: Cconvert the ladder to a "library ladder" with a bar across the top and wheels on the bottom so it could be moved side to side.. It then could be left up and could still be moved out of the way if needed. - I am extremely jealous of what you have there and very impressed with what you have accomplished with it!

    Michy, use those dock supports to hook the ladder up with pins or long bolts. Mount those above the window. Put it on the side above the window. Use a pulley mounted to the ceiling and a rope to pull it up out of the way if you have enough room to do so. Put a cleat to tie the rope up and hold the ladder out of the way when not in use. Spray bleach on the wood to kill the mold. We hope you don't fall off the porch. Be Safe !

Everyone who knows you, everyone who follows you, would be devastates if we found out you had fallen, despite everyone, including Steve, telling you how unsafe it was.

The view up there is spectacular. Thanks for the episode.

    Hi Michelle. Happy Valentine's Day Honey. I know your confinate and careful but....one slip and you could end up with your lost saw over the abbiss. Just saying! We all are concerned with your safety. We Care!!!. I know enough said on that. Cabin is really becoming a home away from home. Great video editing as always..good job. You are still the most interesting beautiful nut case case I love. Can't wait to your workshop project and future meadow village project. Stay safe and happy.

    Consulting a Qualified Engineer about the slide and swing ladder is a great idea. Their per hour charge maybe be lowed by suppling apple pie. Clifford as the Summer cabin is a great idea and I would rather have a cargo net underneath out of the view to catch the odd skill saw and other flying things. The Meadow build will have another awesome Winter view. Gosh you are going to be busy seeing your friends Clifford and Meadow. Make sure you leave enough quality time with Steve.

    Well... It's pretty obvious that Lenny is in love. I was thinking while you were at the cliff-dwelling that there might be some "Lenny-Luna-lonesomeness" going back at the "Ranch". The closing scene confirmed it. Your ladder turned out very nice. I like your idea of hiding it under the loft when not in use. I'll be interested to see how you solve the "engineering" problems, which I am very confident that you will do. After you do have some professional resources to call upon. I'm so pleased to see you dream coming true. I so love the life you are sharing with us. Thank you again for including those of us who can appreciate it. And, yes it is another "Smiley Sunday" here in Michigan.🙂

    The ladder looks great in the cabin. When you got those hinges from the dock in place on the loft, my first thought was that you could put a steel rod, or EMT between them and through the top of the stringers of the ladder and use it like a library ladder system to slide it along the loft and out of the way and doubling as a hinge to swing the whole ladder up to stow it up and out of the way. Perhaps with a pulley that can attach and detach from under the center of the lowest rung of the ladder. I look forward to Sunday mornings and your video coming out. Have a great week!!

    if you do a railing I think you should do a rope one . Like a big rope from a fishing boat. I think it would look good.

    Nice ladder! Please put a safety rail on the loft!

    Ladder looks perfect. I’d probably just cut the top edge a tad so that it sits flatter next to the beam it’s leaning against. A bigger surface area, and safer too. 🙂👍🏻

    I’m not sure it will be resting on the loft, so I’m leaving it until I know how I’m completing it 👍

    Must have had some mild weather, I see much of the snow has melted since your last video. I'm green with envy. What a stunning sleeping spot you have, and to wake up to that view. Oh my goodness! As someone else mentioned you could put the ladder verticle with a rail on the loft and wheels, but that would make your steps probably slopped to much forward, since you have them level when the ladder is leaning back. Awesome job!

    I have a similar concept as you do for the loft in my cabin. You can buy library ladder hardware. It’s a double hook hardware for the top of your ladder. The higher hook allows you to kick it out for climbing up the ladder. The lower hook allows you to hang the ladder straight to save space. Hooks will hang on a 3/4” black gas pipe you can purchase at any hardware store. Run the pipe as you would with a normal library ladder

    The reason I didn’t think of that as an option is because the kitchen is on one side and a couch will be along the other wall, so the space is just too small for a library ladder.

    I have almost the exact setup. I put a short rail (5’) from the middle towards the couch. When I go up the loft, I move the ladder to the center and use the top hook to kick it out. When not in use I move it next to the couch and hang from the bottom hook so it hangs vertical and out of the way. Your build so no wrong answer but I’ve been really happy with the setup and functionality

    For the loft ladder you can put a 2x6 against the wall under the loft and out past it to allow the ladder to slide. Add a 2x6 on the left and right side. Drill a hole for the solid rod that will act as the hinge for the ladder. Drill two holes at the top of the ladder. The basic look would be like a towel rack in a sense.

    Logs upright for support with the bark and slots cut in for Plexi glass for safety thick Plexi with nice clarity. For safety and it would look sweet
