Cool. Glad it gave you a new perspective. You planning on building one of these?

I might not do exactly the same way , just because I don’t want to mess with the propane . But yeah it’s pretty tempting.

Others have commented on that. It's a pretty small piece of pressure treated. I agree that if I were to do it over, I'd use something different.

Thanks!

Happy that this was helpful. Which toilet works best for you?

I'm with you on that one. You going to try this for a project you have in mind?

Not entirely sure what you mean. The vertical 2x12 attaches to the vertical part of the 90 degree angle on the top edge of the trailer and the horizontal 2x12 attaches to the horizontal part of the right angle on the trailer (via bolts and nuts). Then for good measure I connect the horizontal 2x12 to the vertical one with some construction screws. It's a REALLY secure connection to the trailer that's created in this fashion. I'm not sure if what you are describing would improve on that.

Burning will definitely help. Not sure how much additional time that will buy in terms of longevity, but I think that either way, burned wood looks a lot better than pressure treated any day of the week.

I'm not sure that I have a good answer for you. I would think that some sort of UV resistant/blocking treatment would work the best since it's ultimately the sun that is causing the change in color. Not sure what product that would be, but that would be my best guess. Something like this maybe: amzn.to/3YOmrLR

@@TinyIndustrial Thanks for the insight. Ill keep dong research to see what UV blockers are the best option.

Hard to say. I know that intermittent application of linseed definitely works, since I have done that myself. All comes down to a number of factors like sun exposure, moisture, temperature, etc.

Hi. Maintenance that I have performed is reapplication of linseed oil on occasion. I think that the wood will 'let you know' when it needs something from a visual standpoint. This process certainly helps with preservation, but the chemicals in pressure treated wood are definitely more effective in that regard...but I would argue that pressure treated wood is really ugly to look at even if it's less maintenance.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

How did it go? Were you able to make it work?

Yes, that was my takeaway as well, that solar would likely be (much) more effective. It was a fun thing to try out though. I'm happy that I tried it. :) Thanks for the comment.

Thanks! DIY car ramps. :)

Yes, it's pricey, but so is drilling a well and installing a septic system... My version is a 120V.

@@TinyIndustrial Thanks!

You are welcome.

what an Unbreakable comment.

Yes it is.

Ideally the wood isn't very 'green'. Yes, the dryer the better. What project are you looking to tackle?

Not for everyone. What's your go to choice?

Just 'dust'...don't overthink where it came from. :)

Well, yes I suppose it is, but having a flush toilet in a tiny house on wheels is also silly UNLESS, you fully know that every place you are ever likely to park the house will be able to accommodate a flush toilet (ie. access to water and sewer/septic). That is a lofty expectation and therefore flush toilets are rarely found in tiny houses.

@@TinyIndustrial Some areas, they have to be on wheels just to sit in the yard or else they're subject to all sorts of code malarkey.

Yup...

That's great. I'm happy that this was helpful for you. Would love to see the finished product. Will you do a video of the fence?

@@TinyIndustrial Hadn't thought of that, maybe? 🤔

Worth a thought. I like providing people with information. It's helped me many times and I'm trying to give back.

Excellent. Glad the video was helpful for you. Yes, I think there are some videos where the wood gets 'washed'. I personally never bother with that step, but sure, go ahead and do that. I presume that the wood would need to fully dry before you add on any kind of oil though. What's the project you are looking to do?

@@TinyIndustrial well, at present my goal is just to put wood aside for future needs.where I live it is humid and therefore wood turns Roth if not treated. Ciao

Error. Roth is wrong word. I intended "rotten". Thx. Ciao

Gotcha.

Again, the oil mostly just soaks in and evaporates. Kind of deepens the color and help with the wood preservation. In the video I know it kind of looks wet and greasy. Rest assured that goes away pretty quickly. What's your project? What are you looking to do with this technique? Either way, thank you for watching and for the comment.

@@TinyIndustrial I'm making outdoor benches.

Nice idea. I have wanted to make one of those too for a while.

All good info. Thanks for posting. It will help others make their decisions. Thanks!

Well the oiling of the wood would only leave the wood 'slippery' for a short while. Once the oil soaks in and any excess is wiped off, there is no more sheen or slipperiness. I just did a brand new video where I do a cedar plank with this method. That really looks the best to me. I worry a bit about cedar being kind of soft, but from a looks perspective, cedar (oiled) can't be beat. I was shocked how good it turned out (ua-cam.com/video/HAo9ZEt11Co/v-deo.html). Check that out. We are going to be doing a deck redo next spring here as well and I'm leaning heavily towards Shou Sugi Ban cedar as the material of choice. Are you using pine? I'm not sure I would trust that for extra long longevity...although it is reasonably inexpensive and plentiful. What are your thoughts?

Oh good. :)

No. The wax paper handles liquids better in that it doesn't let them soak in or impact the integrity of the seal. Newspaper would leak and be a soggy mess before you get a chance to 'flush' the toilet. Wouldn't work.

I have done so in several subsequent videos. Please check them out on my channel! Thanks!

Yup, it sure does.

Well the burn PLUS the seal in the form of oil only gives the wood a better chance of survival. You are extending the life with the addition of oil. Not necessary, but why go through the trouble of burning if you are not interested in getting maximum longevity?

​@@TinyIndustrialburning the wood repels bugs and gets rid of soft wood while oil protects the wood from rotting. That's what I figured out from researching. Love the video

Yup, that's exactly right. Thanks for the comment.

Ok. I'll keep my response to your comment short in that case...

Thanks! I have secretly been liking the darker burns a bit more lately. Don't tell anyone though.

Thank you so much for suggesting that. I just shot a video using that method. Will be posting it shortly! Much appreciated. Keep the suggestions coming.

Water toilet would likely be cheaper. It's not so much about cost to operate. Rather it comes down to what you have available to you that will determine what kind of toilet makes sense in a given scenario. An incinerating toilet makes a lot of sense if you don't have running water but have an electricity source. Even if an electric toilet might be more expensive to acquire and operate. Know what I mean?

That's a cryptic comment. I'm not sure what you mean(?).

The little hydros are putting out DC. I'm going in on the the solar panel input on the battery power supply. That 'should' work if they were putting out any kind of meaningful juice, no?

It could be! Could be siding. Could be a fence. Could be furniture. Whatever you want to make with it. What do you want to make with it?
