We're gearing up for another exciting year of log cabin building! Now that springtime has arrived, we pulled the tractor out of hibernation to haul a load of salvaged roofing steel to the cabin build site. We've moved heavier cargo, but this was definitely the most awkward. The sheets were 20 foot long and weighed almost 1700 lb in total. My little trailer was far too short to transport such a load, especially over the rocky cedar trails, so we had to find another way to make it happen.

Dad: Stand back son I got this.
Sr Outsider is definitely a great tractor-trailer operator! Makes me miss my Dad!
@johny ubankta . I had an asweosme Dad; super intelligent and capable !. Ran an insurance Co; then grew grapes and sold for $1 per grape to Japan !. He had a Massey Ferguson; probably a touch older that that one. Grey; in New Zealand.

@Senior Outsider if you really are outsiders dad?I have to say You guys are awesome!!!!your son is very smart and doesn’t play around,You must be the best dad on earth,I’m sure you’re super proud?!God Bless!!!
Hey bud sorry to hear of your loss!!!I didn’t had a father in my life,But I can see how extremely lucky guys like the outsider benefit from the wisdom and skills one can add to life,Not to leave out love,I’m a single father of 3 and though they miss their mom(and I might not be the best)But they know I love them more than anything,So I never had a father,But I damned sure know what a father feels for his children!!!I just wanted to say this mans father is incredible,I’m sure you have many fond memories of your father,I’m sure he would want you to remember the good times and laugh rather than be sad.RIP
I know how you feel William. I miss my Dad too. My Dad passed in 2011. He was old. Now I am. Life cycles.
The most thought out Log Cabin build i have seen on utube, Mr. Outsider has to be proud of his son.
I’ve been watching since the beginning, even remember that first little cabin u guys put up, but what really got my attention was when ya put all them stones in the ground for the foundation,,,,,knew then this was gonna be a bad to the bone, life time cabin!,,, been thru alot since then huh,, some good,some not so good, I’m gonna enjoy watching till the end, can’t say enough about you an your pops dedication to the build,,,God bless, and again thanks,
davidlee0817 I too have watched just about everything this kid and his friend, wife, Dad, heck so many that I’m sure I forgot, but yea, the way you posted this is best way to put it, “Bad to the Bone”, even when he /they have had troubles, it was just a resting place to catch their wind, great work and great support and subs for this video v-log, I watch this on all my channels/names, this roof should get it in the dry and help it come together dryer and faster, Later
Beautifully said and I so agree. God bless you and your dad, and your dear wife and her health.
The Outsider yeah, Tons of work for sure! You an your pops reminds me of me and grandpa, we built a sawmill pc, by pc, and it was all old and recycled material, talk about hard work!!, it was ran by an old wacashaw motor, we had old school draw works, and a old rip saw, but I loved working out there saw,n boards up, specially in winter,,, when temps would allow,,,lol we had a couple 52inch blades, we lived in central Illinois but we had to take them to this ole man down in Kentucky, he still knew the art of pinging them blades, that just blew my mind how that worked,, yeah was so sad when your mama passed, she’s surly proud of you guys, she’s keeping an eye on ya I’m sure,, okay then keep up the hard work brother,
Much appreciated my friend. It took a TON of extra work to get those stones and boulders in first…literally tons of work ?…but I’m SO glad we did it. I just couldn’t stomach the thought of having the log cabin sitting on the ground. Didn’t make sense, in my eyes, to pour so much love and effort into a cabin, just to see it slowly rot in the dirt. Just wish my mama could have seen it completed, but she’s onto much better things now.
That sawmill is such a critical piece of equipment that I was nervous just watching you haul off the cutting head.
They could have put the trailer tongue down and would have a lot of clearance.
You’re right about that Tim. To have such an important piece of equipment, one that helps to provide our livelihood, literally hanging in the balance was enough to keep us on our toes. Keeping a featherlight touch on the clutch and hydraulics was vital, plus having my dad to guide the cutting head was equally as important. The good thing is that the cutting head comes with two heavy-duty lift points, welded on the top cross member, so it is designed to be hoisted when necessary.
Tim Stellmach yeah. That was dangerous. Could have lost the saw mill. Scary.
Love watching the videos of you and your dad, and seeing you guys problem solve together.
Mee too love watching the videos of you and father….
Thank you my friend. We really do relish these challenges.
“Give me a lever and I will move the whole world” applied here. Good work Gents!
When I was watching him lever that 1700lb load over not just a little but a lot I was a bit surprised because the tractor couldn’t life the load from the middle.
Old Red comes through again! A little horsepower and a lot of leverage is a great combination. Not to mention brain power. ?
I love watching the problem solving. Good job.
Keep up the progress and your family can spend Christmas this year at the cabin.
Well done. The experience of a father is so valuable.
Well, there ya go – two heads are better than one (plus old Red)!!
Couldn’t have done it without em: Sr Outsider & Ol’ Red.
God Bless Mr. Harry !
I knew you would have a creative solution to moving it. Every time you come to an obstacle, you and your dad find a great way to overcome it by working together.
when I saw senior backing the trailer up I said that he’s done that before. You know he’s good when he makes it look easy.
THANK Jim that comes many 10s of thousands of hours literally, on all kinds of tractors and situations, plus tractor trailer driving skills help too.
Great to see you again my friend. Hope all is well for you and the family…Thank you for sharing your time at the cabin.
If you need more height for the boom pole to raise the sawmill when reinstalling it, drive the rear tractor tires up on some boards.
Woodland Mills will be able to justify a price increase now that you have demonstrated the benefits of its multi-use trailer!
Your dad looks like he’s never been sick a day in his life. A tough woodsman who can solve any problem. I knew what he meant by the drag as soon as he said it. I’m half French Canadian!!
@The Outsider You might need to lower the tongue on that sawmill trailer .. to get the sawmill head back on .. or off. Nice video! ?
I’m not any French Canadian and I understood….is that ok
He certainly is. ? Works hard and doesn’t quit …except maybe for a coffee break. ? Then back at it again. …Anyway, I just love that old knowledge. Still comes in handy.
Charles Robert then JR says “hold my pine needle tea, how about the sawmill trailer”. Lol
Glad..to see a significant progress on cabin project after quiet a while postponed..
Wow talk about having to thread the eye of the needle…. a few times I was like haha you’re going to clip that tree but nope he slid right on past everything
