We are installing the FINAL windows on our cabin. I love seeing the transformation take place inside and outside the cabin as we replace the plastic coverings with permanent windows. With each window, we get more light into the house and from the outside the house starts to look more and more like a home. Along with our final windows, we start to prepare for our sliding glass doors. The first step to get these started is to just get them out of the packaging that they were sent to us in, and then get them into the house. This second step is a little harder than we bargained for. Once the sliding glass doors are in the house, we have to get one of the doors up to the loft bedroom area of the house. Thank goodness for help from one of our friends. 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.
