It’s time to WRAP up the wall insulation on our cabin kit home. This is a little different than a traditional house build. Our log walls are covered with 2 1/4 inches of foam board insulation. Every 24 inches we place a 2″ x 3″ nailer board. This nailer board creates space for our electrical to run, and it also gives us a place to connect our shiplap walls later down the road. This project is tedious, and takes us a little longer than expected, but it’s an important step in the build. When we are almost to the end of the project, we have to make some decisions on the final layout of our loft bedroom. We have been bouncing a lot of ideas around when it comes to our loft bedroom, and not it’s time to start deciding which ideas will make the final cut. 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.
