During this house build, Ryan and I have raised a beam that was over 500 lbs, we’ve installed a huge window wall, wired the house, etc. We’ve done it all with only the help from friends here and there. All of these jobs have been hard and at times felt overwhelming, but we may have met our match when it comes to plumbing. Plumbing has been the trickiest part of our house build so far. There are so many parts that you have to get just right. That means there is a lot of starting and then stopping to analyze and think about the next step. Not to mention going back to re-check your work only to find that it wasn’t correct. We know that all of this work is worth doing slow and correctly because if it is done incorrectly the repercussions can be huge. Follow along as continue to install the drain and vent plumbing system to our self built home.
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.
