Is this SAFE??? // Upgrading our off grid YURT – Ep. 21

Follow along as we FINALLY complete a covered entrance for our yurt. If you’ve ever been to the Hood Canal in the Fall, Winter, or Spring you know that the probability of it raining is HIGH. This makes a covered entrance to our yurt even more important. Without a covered entrance the door to our yurt will continually be rained on which can cause all kinds of issues. We chose a garden arbor plan and modified the plans to fit the deck at the entrance of our yurt. The plans are fairly simple, but required some adjustments. The most stressful part is once the structure is built, we have to get it from the ground to the deck where it will be permanently attached. Watch as we navigate the various struggles this project brings our way and how we overcome them. 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 8 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. Follow along with us as we build our dream in the Hood Canal.
