In this episode, you get to see us install the stove piping for our pellet stove into our yurt. Our yurt will actually become completely off-grid so we don’t have to code it as a liveable structure. Now, you may know that a pellet stove requires electricity so we will eventually be installing solar panels and the research we have done has shown that solar panels we plan to install will power our pellet stove. I just wanted to put that here to clarify why we chose a pellet stove and why the yurt is not off grid . . . . Yet Installing the pellet stove went pretty well. It is a little bit of a nerve racking process because you cut a hole in the side of your yurt which is just a little overwhelming. Plus, the weather was not on our side for a portion of the project. Also, as we were installing the pellet stove into our yurt, we had contractors working on digging out the foundation of our cabin that we will be building in late Spring. It was Avery busy few days at our land. And now a little back story on us, in case you just found us on YouTube. We’re Sara and Ryan. We are your average suburban family, but 8 years ago, we purchased a raw piece of land in the Hood Canal in Washington. We’ve been developing this piece of property slowly, and this year we knew it was time to go all in. So we purchased a log cabin kit home and decided that 2020 would be the year we built a house on our property. We plan to build this cabin (as much as we can) on our own. Unfortunately, COVID-19 put a delay on our cabin kit being produced and delivered in the time frame we had originally planned. While we could have just waited it out and pushed back starting on the build of our home, we decided to shift gears and change our course for the time being. We purchased a 30 foot yurt, and will be setting it up as additional living space when we begin to build our cabin. Follow along with us as we build our dream in the Hood Canal.
