One thing we hear a LOT is, “You should hire someone to do that part of your build.”
But you have to remember –
1. We didn’t start a 100% self-build just to end up hiring people to finish what we started.
2. It’s actually really hard to find contractors right now. (and they know they’re hard to find so they price themselves accordingly)
3. When it comes down to it, with a little research and a go-getter attitude, everything is actually doable on your own.
This means that when it comes to our propane gas line, we’re installing it all on our own.
Follow along as we install our propane gas line, and see if we pass our pressure test.
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.
