One Foot Off the Grid
United States
Приєднався 28 жов 2019
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.

THE TINIEST DECK in the WORLD

Oh my goodness!! We are getting SO CLOSE to calling for our final inspection.
We just have to complete all the railing, one small part of our kitchen and then we can call the county.
In this episode, you get to watch us complete a very small deck off of the back of our house.
I’ll be real with you, this deck is SO small that it may not be used for anything other than a bird feeder and bird bath, BUT putting this deck together was so satisfying, and I’m sure watching it will be amazing, too.
There’s nothing better than a project that can be completed in 2 days!
************************************************************
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.

We’ve been running up and down our stairs without railing for about 2 years now. Before that we were climbing a ladder from the main floor to the loft so honestly, stairs without railing were a major upgrade. But now we’re elevating this space and really taking it from a build site to a future family home. Follow along as complete our stair railing. And now a little back story on us, in case yo...

In June of 2021, we started building our own house. As we get closer and closer to June 2024, we are starting to feel like we just might really live in this house one day. In all honesty, we thought this house build would take us around 1 year, and we couldn’t have been more off in our time estimation. But… I keep reminding myself that everything will happen in the time that it is supposed to h...

Yes. We put up a shed for all of our stuff to go into that was left to store from our house in Oregon. BUT . . . We did some things incorrectly when we put the shed up so it was NOT a dry place to store our stuff.

Lately, on the build, it feels like we are running a race . . . But the problem is that if feel like the finish line keeps moving. We accomplish one task, and think, “There! Now we are closer to finishing the build.” But then, another task pops up. It’s frustrating, but the only thing we can keep doing is keep showing up. The truth of it is, there is a defined finish line, and we can clearly se...

Save yourself a ton of maintenance and build a screen box around your outside unit to keep a ton of yard debris out of the coils.
Did you work at the same time?
Yes. Ryan (my husband) is a real estate agent, and I run an online educational business that I’ve grown a LOT while we’ve been building. This means we both get to be flexible hours so we don’t work the traditional 40 hours a week, but even both worked the whole time we’ve been building. We’ve also run our clothes whole time we’ve been building which brings in a small income as well.
It’s..”Your’s”.. I know I cheated the debate, but God is good ❗️
Some people are so bruised by the “System” their imagination does let them accept any other way 😢
Hi I did not see how you secured your support post to the deck's base but watching how you secured the balcony using structural screws , however, I think you should use bolts which will transfer any lateral pressure to the structure rather than the screws which will eventualy come loose and render the deck railing hazardous and eventually fail or you having to go through the same process again.
So nice! 😊❤🙏

En eller flera sådan kameror till så är tomten säkrad . Varför inte ha en längre ned på en Stolpe ?
It is a great airflow deck. Maybe not super useful for desk sitting or standing.
You two are amazing. The ambition and perseverance you have is something else. Been watching from the beginning as this was always my dream too, sadly being a part of your build is the only way I will get to experience it. Keep up the good work, you're almost there!
Thanks for cheering us on and following us through the journey. So close to moving in now.
One foot inside the house 😂 what a great new name 😂
It's got a nice ring to it. =)
Peak - as in peak of a mountain. Peek - a small look see.
That's not a deck - it's a Juliet Balcony! So romantic :)
That is a better description. It's a bit silly, but it adds a nice touch to the back of the house. We like it.
I would stand out there and have my morning coffee!
That is what I'm thinking. Could be really nice.
Is the tiny deck mainly for egress?
A window would work as well, but they door serves the same purpose and we get the added benefit of a small deck.
Love the little deck! Yall could play Romeo and Juliet!❤😊
Stay tuned. Maybe we'll do a reenactment.
So exciting! Can't wait until you are in. Such a grand project. A life memory!
It's getting so close and we are getting so excited.
The little deck sure is cute. It adds interest to your exterior. Hopefully you will be given the final approval and then move into your dream home. Blessings to all of you.
We are crossing our fingers. Functionally the little deck doesn't add much, but I agree it gives the exterior a nice little flare.
I wish I could accomplish what you have. Having said that, every time you show the front windows from outside, I tell TV you to finish the trim please. It triggers my OCD, lol.
Trust me. It bothers me as well. We need to move the material first so we can get a lift in. It will happen soon. 😄
Balcony for predator control using thermal imaging scope on rifle. If the camera works like you want, maybe put one in the back to give you complete coverage around your house.
Both good ideas!
Eufy great products
We've enjoyed it so far and like not having to pay a monthly subscription for it.
The little balcony makes you think of ‘Romeo and Juliet’
Very nice job.
What you should do, is put in a little gate, then attach a slide so it goes down to the ground! 😁 A quick way to get downstairs! 🤭😎
I was thinking maybe a suspension bridge.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid 😂😂👍
Oh..Zip Line! :)
Is your bedroom deck just for esthetics...it's too small for anything else!!! I would want to put a couple chairs out there!!!! After you get into the house, I'd make it bigger!
Well Done🤗wow
🇳🇴👍👍
Hi guy’s good job getting close now
I just came here to say, that's what she said 😂
"One foot inside the house" That was funny 😂 Just enough space to step outside for a moment 😊 I have an upper deck also It's 3x8. Never use it though. Keeping my fingers crossed have a good inspection
Thanks for sharing
Olá meus queridos casa quase pronta, o que se segue será o paisagismo? Acredito que sim, ficará bem mais bonita. Abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹👏
I’m confused about why it would be a *temporary* COO. Can you please explain? Thanks!
Well, when we call, we'll call for our "final inspection", but we know that we don't have everything we need in order to get the FINAL okay, BUT they will give you a "temporary" okay to live in the house. Did explain that so it made sense? It is a little confusing, and something I never knew about until I was building a house.
Yes. Very helpful! Thanks so much.
✌💗💗🤗
Love the tiny deck. I must say it’s only good for flowers to admire.
Yep. I definitely want some flowers on the deck, a bird feeder and a bird bath.
So near to inspection, exciting times ahead for your family 🇬🇧
👏🏻👋🙂🙋♂️🇩🇪😊
Nice job 😊
I think Ryan is done with building. Lmao the camera is ok we had it. When it seen someone it didn’t go back to the Original setting. Good luck with the inspection 🤞🏻
Sorry i did not watch the full video. I've missed some part in the video, so my question is did you charge refreegerant in the compressor and vacuum the air out of the line, and what is the long white line you ran under your desk? Thank you
The lines from Mr. Cool come pre-charged so there is no need to vacuum. The white part under the deck were the compressor linesets.
Are those linesets came with MrCool and how long is the linesets? So we can sit the compressor anywhere outside the home?
Guys! It is not the world's tiniest deck. It is a very romantic Juliet balcony. Think Romeo and Juliet...
Yes! I wanted to add that same comment!!
I'm so excited for you guys so close to moving in.yeah🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!! We are getting super excited, too. There will still be a LOT of work to do once we move in, but it will be an awesome upgrade for our family.
Very nice work and Sarah you’re beautiful
Hello from Sydney Australia
So beautiful. It's similar to the styles I've been designing. I love it!
He lo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have really enjoyed watching your progress almost from the beginning. Partly because we too have a yurt and we are your neighbors in north Idaho. One point to add...you might consider adding some on-edge product, say a two-by-four or something similar to the underside of your top rail as it will most definitely sag with time. It will also give it more rigidity.
