If you’ve been following our house build for a while, you know that we purchased a cabin kit home. This means that you get ALL of the supplies you need to build the house from the sill plate up. However, what we didn’t realize when we purchased a log cabin kit home was that we also got the assistance of a project manager. We didn’t realize this until he called and introduced himself to us right after our cabin kit arrived. Eric Sechrist is the project manager at Conestoga Log Cabins and Homes and his help to us on our build has been monumental. Anytime we’ve had an issue, we’ve called him up and he has helped us through. Now, we finally get the chance to meet in person, and we are sooo excited! Follow along as we have a fun working visit with Eric from Conestoga Log Cabins and Homes.
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.
