- We are a couple building a house all on our own. We have NO building experience and have learned every trade that it takes to build a house.
Finally, we are closing in on getting our house ready for our temporary certificate of occupancy.
To get this certificate of occupancy, we have to have ALL of the walls and ceilings covered in our house.
We started covering our walls and ceilings with shiplap & tongue and groove boards in June of 2023, and FINALLY, we are DONE with this massive undertaking.
Follow along as we complete the shiplap in our self built home.
*******************************************************************
And now a little back story on us, in case you just found us on UA-cam. 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.

Great progress! For the lowest part of the storage under the stairs, maybe it would be an option to have a drawer or two that open on one or both sides of the wall from the outside. That way you wouldn't loose storage space by having to leave space on the inside to maneuver a drawer or wheeled cart. Thanks for sharing your story. It has been interesting to watch everything come together.
Omg! Yes thank you! That corner was had to see in finished. lol! You’re a great story teller.
Aww! Thank you. Thats such a meaningful compliment to us both because we both always feel like our story telling in our episodes is our weakest point.
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍Great JOB guys!!!!
Definitely a drawer under the stairs. They are not that difficult and you may as well make the space accessible.
Yes, that is what I'm thinking. I'll need to start looking at designs if I'm going to use drawer slides or some sort of caster system.
Way to go guys, one step closer❤👍
I know y'all can't wait til it's all done! We can't either!
I love how excited you get when things come together. I think a flat storage cart on wheels for under stairs would work wonderful. As you age, you will be thankful to just roll out that cart back there than on your hands and knees.😊
"Slide a shelf" makes some great hardware for an awesome pull-out shelf for under that stairway in your pantry!
So close keep rocking it.
Doing great !
My Husband and I have been watching your videos for a year now. We are now in the DIY stage of our log cabin build. We can relate to you guys a lot! People ask us the same? When do you think you will be moving in😳 also people thought that we were crazy😂 anyways my Husband and I really enjoy your videos like you we have made a few mistakes along the way but what a adventure and a you can’t explain the wow feeling that you did it! I’m in the early stages of doing you tube videos also and I’m learning how😳 thank you for being so encouraging and positive! Look forward to your final dream log cabin😁 Bobby and Camie “ junes log cabin build”
So exciting, the finish line is so close for your wonderful family to move in 🇬🇧
Yes! We are getting so excited. The kids will be moved in so soon and then Ryan and I will be close behind. Then time to say goodbye to the trailer finally!
almost there great job I love it can’t wait to see it all finished ❤
Speaker wire, receiver....sounds very 70s to me, lol (old timer here :)
Finally covered top of stairs,next
Under stairs is great for Xmas decoration. Only need once a year, less if you travel at Xmas. 🎅🏻 😊
It’s getting closer now everything is coming together won’t be long now great job guys
It was such a massive job to cover all the walls. So glad that part is over.
Don't hurt yourself the house will be there tomorrow . Your house is going great.
I like the idea of some sort of rollable mechanism under the stair platform.
So excited for you that your now able to get the inspections you need.
Ryan
I was sweating with you. I was hoping you were done with the scaffolding.
Anxious to see what happens on the next video
I had got so comfortable up there while we were covering the ceiling I was a bit surprised that I had some fear. I guess it's healthy though.
Sarah and Ryan the two of you are doing a very good job are you finally happened up that you don't have to do any more shiplap good job do the railing on your steps. Big Daddy T, Richmond Virginia
I think you should have a wheeled platform for the heavy equipment. That way You or Sarah won't be breaking your backs to get it out!
Why don’t you make access to that small space under your stairs FROM the stairs? Put hinges on one of the stair treads so it lifts up to give you access. I did that at the foot of our stairs for shoes and stuff. I put a glass strut on it as a hinge.
Love the Nomadic Movement! It’s awesome that they have inspired you. I love your videos too!🥰
That's so beautiful. I love all the windows. Great job. As always be safe and God bless you and your family 💖
Thank you. We love the windows too. We can't wait to move in soon.
Yes...above the stairs was driving me nuts....so is the outside prow front unfinished driving me nuts. Been with you from the beginning...this is so exciting!
Well, the top half of the prow outside of the house won’t be completed until we have a deck blow it to set the scaffolding on. So you just have to keep waiting on that one for a while.
Awww, shame the air hose reel has gone. You couldve used it for an air powered mixer.......or put an air gun end on it to blow dry your dishes 🤭🤭
When are you going to finish covering up the tyvek on the main windows outside?
Bet youre glad to see the back of ship lapping 🥳🍻🥂
well ya Jorden a younger and reminds me of me and the reason I always work later is that I was be myself and work better fast and I know my limit and that why I did it
You two work so well together, my husband and I would be divorced 1 year in.. lol😉😂(kidding… I think!)
We do work pretty good together and I think it's actually made us closer as a couple. Not for everyone though...
How about a two shelf cart on wheels
👏🏻👋🙂😁😅👍👍
That's kind of what I'm thinking would be easiest or something made out of furniture dollies.
It would be nice with LED stair lighting
I think it will look pretty cool once I get them installed.
Why note make a drawer as part of the step that is on pulls and can utilize the space under the stairs
Yeah, I'm trying to decide between installing a drawer or using some sort of casters or rollers. I'm leaning towards furniture movers because it's low tech and should last forever.
Nice work. I have seen others with spaces under stair platforms like that use like carts on wheels or take those furniture dolleys and attach small cabinets to them
That seems like the easiest answer. A super long drawer slide is tempting as well.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid the major downside to drawers if that if one of the rails suffers a mechanical failure that small space would be annoying as heck to repair or replace it.
😊❤❤❤❤🙏👍👍
✌❤❤🤗
Why no hand rails on the stairs after how long ?????? ????????
Because the stair crew still hasn’t shown up 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Samsung refrigerator are junk take it back and get LG alot more dependable.
Skafferiet som ni bygger under trappan är perfekt , men vart finns inkommande luft och varför struntade ni i isoleringen om ni ska ha mat där inne ?
SARA I ENJOYED YOU SHORT ON YOUR DANCE I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE SHORTS AS ITS NOT LONG ENOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE YOU DO THE DANCING TOWARDS THE END OF YOUR REGULAR VIDEOS IT WOULD ADD MORE QUALITY TO YOUR VIDEO AND EVEN IF WILLING PUT YOUR HUBBY IN IT WITH YOU IT WOULD ALSO YOUR ENJOYMENT ON YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THAT VIDEO PLEASE
You should put your adopted nephews bedroom under there. Worked for Harry Potter.
Just wondering are you going to finish the front outside…or is that 20 weeks to go
We are planning to finish it. We are waiting until we get the front deck built so it's easier to setup the scaffolding and reach up that high. Hopefully not 20 weeks out. I'm guessing 10 weeks though.
