In an ambitious DIY frenzy, we dove headfirst into building our rustic dream home—despite zero experience. Board and batten walls? Sounds simple enough… until you realize “straight” is subjective. The cedar shake roof looked charming—until we climbed the ladder. Each shingle a gamble. And the stone oven? A masterpiece of trial, error, and YouTube tutorials. It may lean slightly, smoke a little, and bake inconsistently, but it’s ours . Every crooked line and wobbly stone tells a story of laughter, frustration, and stubborn determination. This project is less about perfection and more about passion—and maybe a few fire extinguisher tests.
