DIY Shed Build (Pt. 3) - Struggling to Build the Roof
We’re building this shed ourselves—just me, my wife, and my dad—with no prior construction experience. And this week, the pressure’s on.
The rain keeps coming, and without a roof, the floor we worked so hard to build is getting soaked again and again.
We need to get this roof on—but since we’re learning as we go, everything takes longer than it should.
In this episode, we face the reality of slow progress, constant weather delays, and the very real possibility that we won’t get the roof on in time to protect the shed.
But in the middle of all that, we’re also learning to slow down for what matters most—like taking a full day off to spend time with our daughter.
This is Part 3 of our DIY Shed Build—the first structure we’re building on our raw land in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. It’s the first big step toward turning this forested hillside into a long-term home for our family.
If you’re into building from scratch, mountain living, and raising kids with dirt on their shoes—we’d love to have you along for the ride. Subscribe so you don’t miss what happens next.

Sailing Project Atticus
We're Jordan and Desiree! Our newest crew member is Captain Oso. We spent 6 years restoring and sailing on our 30 foot sailboat, "Atticus I". We made it as far as Panama, when we decided to upgrade to "Atticus II", our larger, more reliable family sailboat. We are now heading towards the Mediterranean to start our sailboat family!
