It’s her BIRTHDAY and She’s EXCITED // Building Our Own House – Ep. 24

It’s time for us to take on a HUGE project! It’s time to install our permanent electrical that will run from our main panel to the cabin panel. This means a lot of things! First, this included just getting the 340 ft. of thick wire we needed to complete the project. Ryan was able to find a vendor and they delivered the wire to our house in Oregon. Then it was a stressful moment of getting the wire from the delivery truck into our truck, but we made it happen. Next, comes the laying of the wire. To do this, you FIRST have to dig a trench at the correct depth. Our original plan was to rent a trencher for this project. However, we LUCKED out and were able to rent an excavator. The excavator will come in so handy as we take on this HUGE electrical project. This is just the beginning of this project so be sure to follow along to see how it all turns out. 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.
