Peeling Another 40 Logs / LOG CABIN Building (S4 Ep15)

In the previous two videos I've been cutting down the sick spruce trees and I decided to use the smaller trees and the tops of the bigger trees as logs. I had to peel the bark before the logs would start rotting. Peeling approximately 40 logs was a long work. Now I have the logs ready for future projects, like the balcony and porch, outdoor kitchen,...
Thank you for watching!

    Whew, that was tedious and exhausting work. I had to nap at video end. 😉 All of your physical efforts aside, you also excel at camera positioning and editing. Watching the log placements for drying and storage was an interesting process. Including video of the wild flowers was artistic. Creating these video's is time consuming but also historical for your family and friends. 👍👍👍

    Wow Nik you sir have patience I would have packed in after a few days and sent for the log peeler attachment for a chainsaw and done the rest with that or better still paid someone to do them for me. But as you’ve shown us many a time if you can stick to it you can do it yourself and have that sense of knowing that you have the ability to do it yourself. You are a better man than most people who have sat there and watched you peel all those logs. So please give yourself a pat on your back and a second one from me please and thank you for your video I love them and have watched every single one of them. 😊😊😊
