A lot of people have told us to hire professionals to make it go faster or to keep us safe. A lot of people think we’re ridiculous for taking on this build of our home. And a lot of people wonder why in the world we would even take on such a crazy task. Here’s the truth of it, though. We didn’t take on this cabin build because we thought it would be easy, or safe, or normal. We took on this task for adventure and to prove that when tasks seem too overwhelming, we can look those tasks in the eye and say bring it on! And we took on this build to start a huge task and SEE it ALL the way THROUGH. Follow along on this episode as we raise half of the prow front of our a-frame style cabin. We have the help from our friend Cameron, and we are so thankful because this portion of the project is a HUGE undertaking and we are under a little bit of a time crunch because we have hired some help for our roof that will be coming in less than 3 weeks. The race is on, and we ARE SO excited to share it with you!! 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 9 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. In the summer of 2021, we FINALLY moved to the Hood Canal so we could start the build of our future home. While we are building our home, we are living in a camper trailer and the yurt that we built in the summer of 2020. We hope to have our cabin kit home built by the summer of 2022. Just my husband and I are building the house. We get help here and there from friends along the way and we do plan to get help on the roof but other than that we are doing it all on our own. Follow along with us as we build our dream in the Hood Canal.
