We started our build of our Cabin Kit Home at the end of June 2021. Over the summer, we worked harder than we’ve ever worked on a project so we could get dried in as fast as possible. Balancing this speed of building and editing our videos for us. Remember, we are both VERY NEW to building and to creating YouTube content. (AND we BOTH have jobs that we work as well. They both have very flexible schedules, but we couldn’t turn our backs on them completely). Unfortunately, this all set us back quite a bit in our editing. The build was the number one importance. So there were times when we’d have to skip a week of posting until we settled into our a new routine. That means that we fell behind in our posting schedule to what you see each week. We are working to get back to real time, but we honestly don’t know how long it will take us, but we are so happy that so many of you have been following along with our journey, and we have no intentions of stopping. In this week’s episode, we are completing the loft subfloor. It was a fun project to take on, and we were both excited to be back on the build after our world had been halted by a MAJOR snow storm in our area. 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.
