**************************************************************************
And now a little back story on us, in case you just found us on YouTube. Weβre 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.
Weβve 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, in 2020 there was an unforeseen 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 certificate of occupancy by late Fall 2023. Just my husband and I are building the house. We get help here and there from friends along the way and we did 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.

"I'm Too Old For This Shit" Best line ever !

It's my understanding that just about everything you have done has been without experience. You two have done an outstanding job building your own home.

I did the 18K and I honestly wish I went larger. When I installed my outdoor unit I installed on top of four concrete and PVC columns that are 2 feet high. I did this because we can possibly get 2 feet of snow from a storm. It's worked out well. Oh, and the "I'm too old for this shit" comment. LOL! I'm 60 this Rocktober. Still not too old.

Special air conditioning contractor I strongly recommend that you get some spray and foam and seal up the ends of those lion covers otherwise your mind up with little fellows making their home in your line set of course I can't eat through the copper tubing but they sure do her job on that insulation and the controller cord other than that looks like you did a nice job for amateurs my congratulations

I installed 2 of these in our home. With a little bit of common sense mechanical know how, anyone can install these mini splits. There are plenty of youtube vids just like this one to help out if you get stuck somewhere. Installing these yourself saves an average of $2,000 to $3,000 depending on your area. HVAC guys hate these things because the DIY mini split revolution is eventually going to put many of them out of a job. So sorry Charlie but if I can save $3,000, guess which direction I'm going? Since installing our mini splits, the central unit, while still there for a "just in case" backup, will probably rot before its ever turned on again. The mini splits do an amazing job and both at less than half the cost of the central unit to operate. You guys did a great job on your install. Congrats and I hope others have the same great results from a DIY mini split.

I am so happy for all of you finally getting cool air to work in π. You both are amazing π.

We, too, installed our mini split as unknowledged diy-ers. Very simple, easy project. Had to have pros come out to charge the unit for warranty purposes. 5 years still cooling and heating as it should. Great Job you guys... I miss the PNW, lived in Kent and Spkoane areas.
