Building this massive deck has been a huge undertaking, but we’re finally starting to see our efforts take shape as we lay down the floor joists on our 900 sq. foot deck! This deck will provide so much more space for our family to enjoy our beautiful land.

And in the middle of the deck build, we say goodbye to our camper trailer. I still remember the day we purchased the camper trailer. We were so excited to have a safe and clean space for our family to create so many memories on our land, and for the past 3 years, we called the trailer home. Now, it is being taken off of our land for a new owner to enjoy.

Follow along and watch our deck take shape.

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 10 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, some unforeseen events in 2020 that were completely out of our hands 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 end of 2023. 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.
