We are EXHAUSTED. We are TIRED. We are BEAT UP. We are COMPLETING our ROOF Rafters. This has been the longest week yet for us in this build. We are pushing to be ready for the roofers arrival and that means LONG days working with heavy lumber and using heavy machinery to help us get the job done. The amount of work that were were able to cram into the week leading up to the roofers arriving amazes us. We honestly didn’t know we had this in us. Remember, it wasn’t too long ago that we left our comfortable home in the suburbs and moved to a camper and trailer and yurt so we could build our future family home. 3 months after that move, we’re putting the roof rafters on and finally seeing the shape of our house (and it’s AMAZING). 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.
