Partner With Us
Building Half Acre is a real-world small business build documented week by week. We’re restoring historic buildings on our half-acre in Walla Walla, Washington and launching Sawdust & Espresso — a working woodshop and drive-through comfort-food stand.
This project is being documented from the first steps of restoration through opening day and into real-world operations.
A Long-Term Build Journal
Building Half Acre is not a one-time project video.
This is a long-term documentation of building a working small business from the ground up — including property restoration, shop setup, restaurant construction, and daily operations once the doors open.
Each week we publish a new episode showing the real work, the real constraints, and the real lessons learned along the way.
Why Equipment Partners Are Involved
Real Working Environment
Equipment appears in real conditions — building structures, running a woodshop, and operating a restaurant. Nothing is staged or scripted.
Long-Term Visibility
Because this project runs for months and years, equipment appears repeatedly as the build progresses and as the business begins operating.
Practical Demonstration
Viewers see how tools and equipment actually function in real projects, not short studio demonstrations.
Where Partner Equipment Appears
Equipment We Already Use
The equipment used in this project comes from companies we already purchase from and rely on for real work. As the build progresses we will continue highlighting the tools and systems that make the project possible.
- Vevor
- Grizzly Industrial
- WebstaurantStore
- Square (POS and payment processing)
- WordPress + Kadence (website platform)
About the Builders
We’re Rob and Christine, a husband-and-wife team building a small family business on our half-acre in Walla Walla.
Our goal is simple: build something real with our own hands, share the process honestly, and document what it actually takes to launch a working small business from scratch.
Building Half Acre exists to show the steps most people never see — the planning, the compromises, the setbacks, and the small wins that move a project forward.

Partner With the Build
If your company produces tools, equipment, or systems that support construction, woodworking, restaurant operations, or sustainable property development, we would be glad to discuss working together.
We are especially interested in long-term equipment partners whose products will be used throughout the build and into daily operations.
