We are BACK to the build after a snow storm, ice storm, and the holidays. What a whirlwind! It will feel seamless to the viewer, but we were actually away from the build for 1 complete month. And we are READY to get back to work.
We’re in a race with ourselves to get to our combo inspection as quickly as we can. This means that we need to get everything inside the walls that is needed before we can add insulation and then close the walls up.
What all goes inside the wall of a house? Electrical, plumbing, speaker wires, ethernet wire, any HVAC you may choose to add, and any other low voltage wiring you choose to run. It may not seem like a lot, but when you’re amateur builders like us, you have to be careful to make sure that you don’t miss a piece of the puzzle.
Follow along as we chip away at this overwhelming task and get closer and closer to our combo inspection.
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. ----------------------------------------- Items used in this episode: Wall Heaters - https://amzn.to/3HoyB6X Impact Drill - https://amzn.to/3D5NR5Y -------------------------------------------
