What happens here

To cover the expansive and angled upper sections of the cabin walls, wood planks need to be precisely cut to fit. This often involves using a miter saw set up on a stable surface, such as a deck. Measurements are taken from the wall, transferred to the planks, and then cut with the saw. For higher sections beyond the reach of the scissor lift, a combination of ladders and makeshift scaffolding (e.g., an extension ladder spanning two beams) is employed to create a safe working platform. The cut planks are then installed, following the contours of the ceiling and existing beams.

Goal: Cut wood planks to fit and install paneling on the upper and angled wall sections.

[Music] w [Music] [Applause] when I first built the cabin we just sheetrocked the wall just to get it enclosed secured airtight and sealed but it didn't really feel cohesive the new part of the cabin that we remodeled didn't kind of jive with the old part of the cabin so we had to bring some of those elements from the old part into the new part to make everything flow seamlessly and that's why I opted with this wood because the old part of the cabin has this exact same kind of wood in it this scissor lift came from Cruiser products and one of the things that we noticed right away about it was that it holds its charge I was little bit worried that I'd be plugging it in every single night and if I forgot to plug it in I wouldn't be able to work with it the next day but one of the things I noticed right out of the gate was that it will easily hold his charge for 3 to five working days now it depends on how much much you guys work it we just use it intermittent as you see here but it held its charge for everything we needed it to [Music] do but this big wall that we're looking that's Lakeside is where we had to switch things up because it's just overpowering whether that's sheetrock or whether we're using this wood siding we just wanted to do something that would break up that pattern and switch things around a little [Music] bit [Music] [Applause] he [Music] [Applause] we ain't even going to be able to put any boards up how far how close really damn close like a blades width is all we need well I want that as tight as we can get it uh we ain't got we got pry bar up here in here no I got a pry bar down there okay give me that [Music] board [Music] you [Music] be me not my truthfully you be alline [Music]
