Homestead Update

We’ve got so much done here around the homestead recently!

We’ve (nearly) finished up the studio entirely. It now has a floor, insulation, and wall coverings! We used snap-together laminate flooring between us and the insulation for a few reasons, the main one being that it was cheaper than putting up drywall. It was also prettier than plain drywall, and we didn’t even need to paint it after.

Breaking Ground

We finally broke ground this week!

Kyle’s dad Keith came out this week and helped us start on our ‘temporary’ studio shed shelter. It’s just a little 10 x 10 that we will be living in until the cabin is built, which probably means it will be home for at least a year. We really went small with the temporary shelter to save money, and it will certainly be interesting squeezing ourselves into that space after living in our average-sized house in Washington.

First, the guys widened our driveway so we could get all the materials to the little clearing we had picked to build the studio in. It gets plenty of sunshine which will be great for our solar plans (Amazon affiliate link).
