When you live in the forest in a camper trailer and a yurt, a lot of things are different for you than people living their lives in houses. When it snows, you don’t get to just relax and sip on hot cocoa and watch the snow fall. Instead, the snow puts in you into defense mode as you work to clear your structures, take care of animals, and work to clear paths for safe walking. We thought the days of snow were behind us, but then Mother Nature reminded us that she is in charge. What was forecasted to be a small snowfall, turned out to be an amount that kept our kids home from school for a few days and put our build on hold. Once the snow has cleared, we get back to work on the build, and make some MAJOR progress on our supply line plumbing.
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.
