Canadian Winter Has Arrived at Our OFF GRID Cabin!
Welcome to Going With The Ganongs! We are a family of 4 who moved off grid in the summer of 2023 and since then have been working at slowly establishing ourselves off grid in the Canadian forest! This week, we get our first snow, add shelves to our storage shed, and find a Christmas tree.

    what are you going to do about the over flow in the tub. don't forget you will need a air vent for your drains.

    • @goingwiththeganongs
      @goingwiththeganongs 11 днів тому

      Our current plan is no over flow. Without actually running water, and even when we do, having it be rationed, we are not worried about overflowing the tub. If the day comes where we have a normal well, we would consider retro fitting it then. I know it seems crazy, but no vents for now! Thanks for following!

  • @MelissaMarsh-qu1gp

    In addition to the spray foam use steel wool to prevent rodents from chewing through the spray foam. Also are you going to wrap the pipes to insulate them from the cold weather before you skirt the house?

    The plumbing will definitely make everyday life easier in your cabin. Just an FYI, ‘S’ traps aren’t supposed to be used anymore, also, technically vents are required so fixtures drain better. All good for this winter though! Good code info that is easy to read can be found by typing in ‘Winnipeg planning brochures’.
