One Foot Off the Grid

One Foot Off the Grid

Welcome to our One Foot off the Grid Channel. We are your average suburban family, but we have a huge love for the outdoors. 7 years ago we purchased a 5 acre piece of property in the Hood Canal (in Washington). We have slowly been developing it, but this year, things are going to get serious!!! In May 2020 (fingers crossed), our log cabin kit will be delivered to our land and we will start building.

We plan to take you along for the WHOLE ride. We'll be sharing what we've done on our property so far and projects we do before the kit arrives, and in May we will be sharing the building process. You'll get the good, the bad, the funny, the sad -- you'll get ALL of it!

Thanks for following us!

PS - For some reason you only get Ryan and the kids (Owen & Lindy) in this pic. Someday we'll have a picture of all of us up at our property.

    I’m about a year too late, but it doesn’t look like you used insulted electrical boxes on the exterior wall which would have been good since you had to cut away all the insulation to fit the boxes. You might be able to feel cold air pouring out of your switches and outlets in the winter.

    Hi guys!! I hope you are all well. Like everyone else l too have missed seeing you guys! You are really making forward progress now!! May l just say a piece on the cable railings…..I have them here and within a short time of moving here one of the cables snapped and due to the tension l was whipped and cut pretty bad. Please ensure that the kids do not even touch the cables. I might sound a bit melodramatic but l can tell you it’s no fun when they snap! Oh by the way could you please send me some of your summer warmth?? It’s far too cold here at the moment. I hope the kids are well. And the dentist appointment not too bad! Take good care. Best wishes and big hugs!! Di.

    Some measuring here and some measuring there and measuring again. Some sawing here and some sawing there and sawing some more. Some screws here and some screws there, and more screws. All that turned into a staircase 😊 So happy for you. Another step closer. I'm sure the want to get moved into the house is at it's highest level right now. As always wishing you the best.

    Wow! The cable railing looks great! And you’re so close to that temp COA! We’ve been following in your footsteps over this past year and so many of your build choices are choices we’re also making. With the cable railing, what was the new measurement you used when drilling the posts. I know your original measurement was 3 and 3/4 inches apart, which you realized was too far apart. Love that you all are so willing to share the ups and downs! We’re certainly benefiting! 😊

  • @OneFootOfftheGrid

    We ended up going with a 3" spacing to be safe. We probably could have gone 3.25", but we were trying to use a pattern that would let us use some of the holes we previously drilled.

    Love watching your build. Been looking for land in Kitsap for a while now. Might have to expand my search area. Just a small suggestion. Maybe use a coin between each tread board to create a gap that allows expansion, drainage and air to flow through since these are outside.

  • @OneFootOfftheGrid
    @OneFootOfftheGridКүн бұрын

    Thanks for the tip. Those boards were pretty wet so my thought was that the gap would shrink down once they dried, but I do like the idea of using a coin. If you want to explore area in Mason County, I'm a Realtor and would be happy to help you along with your search.

    @@OneFootOfftheGrid I have no doubt that you have done everything according to the project. And yet, the one who created the project should have understood about the penetration of moisture into the basement and the subsequent destruction of the foundation of the building.. In Russia we always do waterproofing. You probably have different laws of nature. Lol!
