Last week, we started insulating our log cabin kit home. The project was moving along pretty good, BUT we found out that a lot of our insulation had water damage. Since then, we have processed our insulation supply, and we are READY to crush this project. The hardest part of insulating our roof is the fact that our ceiling is 24 ft. high. This means we are having to get material into high-up spaces. We work hard to install the insulation correctly while battling the heights AND the heat that rises into the peak of our ceiling. Follow along as we install the insulation in our 24 ft. ceiling.
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.
