Building a capable family life—one ambitious project at a time.
We’re Jordan and Desiree. After a decade of rebuilding sailboats and exploring the world, we moved ashore to build our first home in the mountains. We make weekly episodes on YouTube about learning difficult work, building with good people, adapting when plans change, and creating a life our family can grow into.
Our current chapter
Building our first mountain home
We started with plans, a patch of mountain land, and more ambition than building experience. Now we’re learning our way through the systems, finishes, mistakes, decisions, and collaborations that turn a structure into a home.
New episodes every week
The project changes. The promise doesn’t: take on something real, learn in public, adapt when the plan breaks, and earn the progress.
