We are racing to complete our chimney pipe and our window wall so we can return our boom lift. The boom lift is costing us more money everyday we have it, but we just don't feel confident enough yet to tackle our big windows that are high up, so we focus on our lower windows for now. It may seem like we're procrastinating, but this task feels overwhelming.
Fortunately, in this episode, we are able to complete our chimney pipe so we can ALMOST cross that task off the to-do list. We just need to add it's supports and it is complete.
And now a little back story on us, in case you just found us on RUclips. 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.

Cleaning your chimney every year is going to be a mission that’s for sure...well done guys
I could watch your videos all day!
Awww! Thank you!!
To reach a dream always has it's trials and tests.
Watching you go through this journey reinforces the positives of the human spirit.
Keep moving forward through each obstacle.
The rewards are worth it.
Wishing you the best in the quest for your dream
You need to install your storm collar before you put the cowl on and the stabilising brackets or you'll be dismantling your chimney again guys, great job by the way so far.
We still have one 2 foot section of pipe to put on, so the storm collar is still to go on. Our storm collar clips around the outside instead of slipping over the top, so it can go on at anytime.
Nice, all you need is to anchor that baby, and depending on your snow load, a snow deflector. Looking awesome guys!
Soul deep satisfaction I think is the word you are looking for. I often marvel at what I've accomplished in building my own place. I still hate and shake when I have to climb up on the roof (3 stories) but I haven't died yet :) House is looking fantastic. I hope you have people that will help put in the prow windows. That will be so dangerous.
The chimney is looking great 😎 , 😊👍💕💕💕
Thank you! Cheers!
one channel almost had their chimney rip off the roof due to snow sliding down. they had to put a deflector on it to allow the snow to go around. just something to keep in mind.
great job guys. make sure you give each other hugs after each job. you have earned it.
I'm looking into it as more than one person has mentioned the diverter. We generally don't get more that 6' of snow accumulation here so we didn't think it was necessary, but this winter we got over 18" so it probably is something that is wise for the long term.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid hate to see that chimney ripped off by sliding snow. have fun.
@@I_Am_Michael Appreciate the heads up.
now that’s a chimney looks good now you just have to anchor it down it’s a good thing you have the man lift. looking forward to seeing your next video take care and be careful
Supports are going up in the next episode. One of the last projects we need the man lift for.
I bet you love working on your cabin....Its looking beautiful.
Yes we do. There are times when it is hard but it is always worth it when we achieve a new milestone.
Fantastic job, you two! Sarah, there are no words when we accomplish things that seem impossible at the start. The worth of these impossible feats is always in the act. What a journey...I've never wanted anything more than to become the salt of the earth. Building your own home is huge. God bless you both. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Thank you. It feels absolutely fantastic to finish big projects. We can't wait for the day when we get to enjoy the finished project.
That ending insight 😢😘
I also saw the dragon on the interior wall!!
Do what you have to do ,that's your home 🏡, you can't satisfy people especially when they do not know what it like to build keep warm safe GOD BLESS 🙏
Well said! Thanks for your support.
Livin 👍👋you guy's are rockin'the Livin things are progressing can't wait to see the proud front all splendor ed out😁👍gr8 content see ya on the next one🙏✌
Thanks Jim. We are pretty excited to see all the windows in.
It's always a great pleasure to watch your progress on building your home 🏡, even if it's one day of the week, but as usual. Congratulations 👏 🎊 💐
Oh wow the progress of the build is great ☺️🙂
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
BRAVO MR AND MS .IN THE GREECE.....
Great job guys. Keep up the hard work, it is definitely paying off. I love watching your success.
WoW
Well done sweetheart, and of coarse that guy who is helping, only joking, you're a good team keep it up or I
will criticise, no slacking or playing to much to the camera.
Cheers.
Be warned, your log wall height will shrink 1-3% over time. This has to be taken into account of your window side frame hight. Leave a gap !
I would recommend mounting windows slightly high. And alsow cutting the left and right side frame 3-5/100 of your frame hight. 3-5%..
Leaving a gap at bottom. ( leaving gap at top will force your screws to snapp as it sags down..)
wow....I love the end of this episode! I build my houses too!
Tolle Arbeit geleistet 👏👋👍😁😊
It's so good to see you both in such high spirits. Enjoying the journey to your final vision is so important. It also makes me smile as it must your other subscribers. Keep it up guys.
We found our groove at this part of the build and really enjoyed the process. Thank you for your continued support Nicki! Means a lot to us to see your comment each week.
great progress wow
Thank you for watching. It's getting exciting.
Those views when the sun is out… 😍😍😍
Awesome video!
It is a fantastic project you are working on. A house with character that stands out from other projects that I follow, mrf congratulates the preliminary result.
Greetings from Denmark😉
We are in love with the design and can't wait to spend our mornings enjoying the large window wall. One more season of HARD work and it will be done.
I think your channel is a how to inspire channel. I hope to do this myself one day
I'm amazed on how awesome the build is coming along.
It's so pretty and the view is nice. great job guy's 🤩.. can't wait to see the inside begin.
We are SOO excited to start working on the inside. It's going to start changing quickly.
Check to see if you need straps to support the chimney for the snow load. Great job
We will have straps at 4’ and 8’. They will go in soon.
I wish I could do half of what you do. Your home is beautiful, you should be proud of your work.
Thank you so much! Some days we look up in awe of what we have created.
Yay!!! You guys are so close to being all dried in! I’m so proud of what you two have done! You inspire me like you can’t imagine! 🙏🏻❤️❤️
Y’all are working so hard, and it’s beautiful!!! I hope y’all always have something else to do after the cabin is complete!!!
We have some plans in the works. An outbuilding that we can use as a shop, and a larger deck expansion and an outdoor cooking area with a pizza oven just for starters.
For sure the TOP of your triple wall piping must be TWO FEET ABOVE the highest point of the RIDGE on the roof. If you don't then you might possibly have some problems with "DOWN DRAFTS" and smoke in your home.
To you who do not know. Necessity is the Mother of invention! Well done, you lovely people wish you all the best in installing your windows cant wait to see them all installed! If at first you do not succeed try try again (simples)
We are so excited for the big windows to go in.
I’m so jealous.Great job once again!
You guys are doing a wonderful job. Its a beautiful build and yhou will be so happy when you get to move in and enjoy all hard work....
Wonderful improvement 👍
Love the dragon 🐉! 😊👍💕💕💕
We told the kids they could draw whatever they wanted to since the wall was going to be covered and that is what they chose.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid it's very nice, very creative 👌, 😊👍💕💕🤔
@@OneFootOfftheGrid They are very talented 😊👍💕💕💕
Nice job .
PLEASE Look !!! Hey the zip tape, you do not need to cut the corners on the windows, it will stretch around the corner. I have seen it on other channels doing it that way. I would think you could stretch to fit the profile of the logs too. I dont know about the wood windows, if you could take the glass out so it is lighter when installing. Keep up the good work building your own home. I built mine 6 years ago.
There are two types of Zip tape. There is the “stretch” version and then the regular that we used. The stretch kind doesn’t need to be cut, but the kind we used i researched heavily beforehand and it was how everyone showed building sills.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid Thanks I learned something new today. The build is looking good!
I have seen if you get a lot of snow you might want to put up a snow diverter for the chimney.
We don't usually get a lot of snow, but this last winter we actually did. Thankfully the chimney held up, but it might be smart to put one in as extra insurance.
Beautiful house ❤
Thank you! 😊
Nice video 😊
You better put on a snow deflector while you have the lift.
Thankfully I can get up to the chimney on the extension ladder. We don't get a lot of snow so not sure the deflector is needed, but it certainly can't hurt. Cheap insurance.
bravissimi
does the missus have a rolling pin in the kitchen? the top board should be over the vertical ones on the windows.
Do you mean the trim boards?
@@OneFootOfftheGrid yes maam, the top board goes up first then the side boards go under them, as if to hold the top one up. also the crack or joint is not as visible that way. have a good day..............g
Great job guys, but you should put a snow deverter on. So the snow doesn't take out your chimney.
We might put one on later but not sure if it is needed on an asphalt roof. For sure would be important for a metal roof.
Your doing a great job, not easy working with a 12/12 pitch roof
You can say that again.
Is there settling by the wall that the window needs to be framed special for? Looks like a standard install in a log build.
Hey I never used a J roller and I built a few houses hahahaa Good job looking good. Very nice roller for sure hahaha
Sometimes you just need to improvise.
I used to install windows for a living. It takes practice. My old partner and I used to fully install about 24 windows a day.
That is on another level! I’m not sure I could ever get to that level.
@One Foot Off the Grid Eventually, you would be amazed . Thank God you don't have to. Every window is a learning experience. We also would start with the highest window and work down to the lowest. Bonus it kept me in shape and didn't have to pay to go to a gym to work out. I used to work on roofing. We didn't have a lift and my job was carrying shingles up the ladder to the roof top. You are not going to look at Roofing and Windows the same when you go out.
Very nice to watch what you are working! Always wonder if it’s enough for insulation??? Or the material of woods have a special material?
We’ll actually be insulating the whole house still. The walls will all have rigid foam insulation, and the ceiling and floors will have fiberglass insulation.
Thanks for telling us!
Are you going to have to add support to that tall chimney to the roof? Great job, and so high up too.
Yes. We will have two sets of supports. One at 4’ and another at 8’ as the manufacturer recommends. That will go up soon b
I am sure you know or someone will tell you put braces and a pipe snow protection sheet or your pipe (chimney) will come down
We have had that comment a few times. I had already purchased the braces and they will go up in the next episode. We hadn't thought about a snow diverter. We don't get a lot of snow where we are and we have an asphalt roof, which doesn't let the snow slide as easily as a metal roof. But we are looking in to installing one.
Thanks for the update... Curious, what are your thoughts on keeping the cabin warm up there in the great PNW without insulation?
Good question. It will be insulated with about 2.5” of solid closed cell foam on the interior of the cabin, then finished with shiplap boards.
Keep up the good work!!! Love your channel!! Please see if you can get another hand to put the upper windows if they are super heavy
😯☺👍👍👍👌
😀❤️
You are going to put stantons on that chimney are you?
Yep. I have them and they’ll be going up next. One st 4’ and another at 8’. One more thing to get done before the man lift goes back.
🥰😉🌟
REmember to put a snow diverter on you stove pipe
We don’t traditionally get more that 2-3” of now accumulation in our area. This winter we did see over 2’ though and I manually cleared the roof so it might not be a bad precaution to put in place.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid Key words don't traditionally..... the day very well might arrive when installing a diverter is necessary because you got some "non-traditional" snow fall and your pipe is either bent or uprooted from the roof. And usually, this will come on the worse day of the winter. The Marine Corps has a saying: proper prior planning precludes piss poor performance.
Chimney brace ?
It's coming in the next episode. We eill have one at 4' and another at 8'.
Ok... looking good...
But... why do the windows appear to be for 2x6 wall and not the 2x4ish width walls you have? Also agree how are you heating this huge place without insulation come winter
The answer to both of your questions is the same. 😄. There will be 2.5” of interior closed cell foam before the finish shiplap so those extra large windows will trim out perfectly.
ادعوا الله بالسلام والرحمة لطفل ريان من المغرب
Well the way that I think is one must improvise and use what one has. And if I don't have a j roller I use a piece of PVC pipe it works just the same as long as it gets the job done. If I don't have a hammer handy I use a rock to drive a nail. And for a lot of people that believe that you have to have the exact proper tool to use and if they don't have that exact proper tool to use oh boy what am I going to do well I'm going to have to put this job off until I get the proper tool to use and that's why those people never gets anything done because they don't want to improvise. And for those people who improvise because they don't have the exact proper tool at hand well they always get the job done. So I say use what you got on hand to use so you can move on to the next part of the job and provides and you will be surprised at what you can accomplish.
Looking like a home now, not building site. By next winter, you will be moved in
Just an opinion, the music gets wayyyy too loud at times.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look at the levels more closely next episode.
? Wasting your Money ?
Is that a question? If so, the answer is no.
