For what it's worth, I don't think either one of you are idiots. We all make mistakes, and hopefully we learn from them. You never know who is going to need your knowledge in how you fixed your mistakes. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Have a great weekend.
I believe, if you use lime in your outhouse, it will decompose a lot quicker .
Yes up at our Maine cabin we use peat moss and a bit of lime to hasten breakdown and eliminate odor. Works great! We’ve also used wood ash and saw dust.
Great job guys , them steps also stop the erosion at the entrance from filling up the new hole you just dug !!!!! Awesome video again as always 👍 Thanks for sharing 😅
Never thought I would enjoy watching someone dig an outhouse pit.
You made it funny with the dirt down your pants remark.
Had me laughing right along with Jen 🤣
Another dirty job done.😊
Glad I could bring some joy to the process. Best wishes my friend
I do remember that! It was scary when it happened but now it seems pretty funny because you didn't get hurt 🤕! One of my favorite memories at the beginning of y'all's building of the homestead. That's when Old Man Benjamin was still making footprints!🐾
Oh man.....old man puppy dog Benjamin.......I miss him.
My idea is to use a 55 gallon plastic drum to line the pit. Just cut the top and bottom off and drop it in. When it fills up just yank it out and put it in a new hole. Bury the old hole with ant extra dirt.
you should put some solar light by it so it is easy to find the path at night
Jay - you are a hoot! Wish I lived closer - would love to share a beer or two around the fire!😍🇨🇦
It would be a hoot for sure my friend
love watching your videos...
So glad to hear it....iit keeps Mr going my friend
Great video! You had me laughing! Oh, have you ever thought of saving or using your sawdust for your outhouse. Just a hand full in the pupper helps the smell and the breakdown. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK!❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Oh ... Your that guy that got lucky on the ladder . LOL
Yup

Hello jay and Jen I would have put a wood frame in the whole so the sand would say there but that’s me good work jay here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Few years ago (35 or so ) we went to Put in Bay on lake Erie and went to park and it had outhouses our youngest son looked down in the hole and said mom that looks like Hell down there :) my grandparents both sets had outhouses when I was young. Good job moving it thought you might use tractor 3 pt hitch to move it but that worked :) ps look for a set of forks for the 3pt sometimes you can get them cheap :) keep em coming !!!
Jay you should had called the show dirty & Jobs lol! That’s one less dirty job off the honey dew list😊 Thank God you weren’t hurt on the other outhouse . You and Jen have a bless weekend and we hope to see ya all soon. Love from Ohio❤
I can’t believe how much sand there is guys, those steps certainly are lifesavers Jay, the only thing that worries me is how close the outhouse is to the edge, imagine sitting in there minding your own business and suddenly you start sliding down the hill, sounds like a scene from a comedy movie lol, on a serious note I hope it stays in place, and you’re not idiots either, l think you are clever and brave to take on a project like you did, and look what you’ve both accomplished, a beautiful off grid cabin in a very beautiful place, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Like normally awesome job to you both. And have a wonderful week and stay safe and sound 😊
You two are not affraid to work, that's for sure ! Even when it's a $#!%# job, you get it done!
No thanks. I’ll use my Natures Head composting toilet installed right in my always warm cabin. It needs emptying every month and a half and composts the #2 into beautiful black dirt that I dump around the trees to fertilize them.
Aren’t you lucky!
@@SJC49 not “lucky”, just making my priorities a …priority. I’m sharing an alternative that is well within reach of Jay and Jen. Much like they share their successes and failures. Maybe they will chime in and give their take on things.
I think we will consider this for sure. I know all good things come in time....and we have progressed slowly but surely and if you love it, we will definitely consider it in the future. For right now.....the outhouse and Jens night time indoor toilet works for us. Always open to better options
It's a shitty job but somebody's got to do it! (Sorry I had to). Lol.
When I was growing up we use to have a outhouse & a tub to bath in. It would set in the kitchen.
I hope ur not inside during a big downslope wind/rain storm
The step is important so you don't get muddy when you go in
your ladder incident was very funny i remember that because i LMAO good blooper CHEERS
Plant some flowers around d out house jay 🌱💚
I feel as if you should mark the old hole with a dead stone or something
👍👍👍👍it's a dirty job but it has to be done....
Nice work mr 😊 and jenny 🎉
Technically you did MOVE it solo💪🏽 Jen pitched in for the final touches💕
Crappy job but it’s gotta get done🌻
Woot woot
Crappy job......... but SOMEBODY has to do it!!!!!!
100%
❤ Remember you have one another. A miracle 🙏 in today's narcissistic life.
So true! Very blessed
Congrats on the new hole! I’ll be digging one of those myself soon. We close on our off grid property in 2 weeks! Finally! 5 beautiful acres in Northern WI! You guys have been very inspiring, giving me lots of great ideas. Cheers!
So very cool my friend......congrats
I can't believe I just watched 18 mins of someone digging a new poop hole LOL. In the future, build the outhouse a little taller, and put a door in the back to access under the sitter, get you a plastic 55 gal barrel, and when it gets full, pull it out and dump it. No more digging. Dump it and cover it up.
Thanks for sticking with me buddy
Nice job Jay 👏. Should last for a while, big honey do ✅ .
I guess the step earned a permanent spot.
A forever spot my friend
Outhouse graffiti:
Oh my gracious, oh my soul, there goes Nellie, down the hole.
😊👍
Great job Jay !!!
You don't get to see a video like this every day, very educational. When my dad was a boy during the depression, he, my uncle, and a friend, moved a mean old guy's outhouse back several feet one Halloween. He never said if he knew the outcome...
Based on what I have read, composting toilets produce great fertilizer over time, so maybe in a year or so, you can dig up the old hole and put it on your garden... Just a guess, I am not an outhouse expert. I wadded up my last Sears catalog at around age 12, and now there are none... (I thought the step was to keep the sand from giving away and you sliding into the hole. 🙃
Maybe if I plant an apple tree there it will produce wonderful fruit.....but let's give it 5 years before we find out
I so enjoy your show. Jay you and Jen have great personalities. Down to earth folks.
Keeping it real my friend
A helicopter
Lol your funny
똥싸는 게 이렇게 힘든 일이라니.... 놀랍다
That would have been real crappy if someone fell into old hole 😮 no pun intended 😂. Plant some wild flowers over old hole, plenty of fertilizer to grow 🎉 and improve smell of new latrine
Ha.....good idea
So when the people say you are full of it,that was true____😅😅😅 so you moved it😂😂
For sure, lol
It doesn't matter if a million people think you're an idiot, what matters is the one who loves you. And obviously she does.
I like it 😀
I don't know, but when you said you were glad it was done, and now you are free to do more important things, I would say that was a very important job because it would be hard to continue to use this outhouse when "the pile" in the hole got higher than floor level!
Very true......lol. priorities
Idk if you do this, but we sprinkle lime after doing duty into hole. Helps decrease smell and helps with soil also.
We do use some ash from time to time, easy to tell when it needs it, lol
It makes sense. But your the 1st person in my life who've said they have favorite & sentimental steps. Glad they were there when it mattered!
lol
Is it out of the high winds that you get? Was that the time Jen ran in and checked the insurance policy? Just kidding.
She has been asking about the what if situations, lol
My husband‘s coworker died in a collapsed hole. this was very hard to watch watch because it was so dangerous
Oh, I'm sorry
It's $hitt!! job, but someone has to do it!! LOL J & C
Unless we dig a new hole each visit, lol
Excellent job! Stay amazing
Woot woot
Bet you could grow some nice tomatoes in that area lol
Lol
Do you just let 1 & 2 mix... or is there a treatment?
All down the same hole my friend. Although I hydrate many trees throughout the typical day 😊
Oh moving the out house that wouldn't be fun work at all. Great work on the hole. and moving the johnny on the spot Jay.. WOW Jay that would have been scary happy you are still here no doubt so is Jen
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect Jay and Jen and working on the homestead
Thanks Jay and Jen 👍🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you 🫶🏻
🖐😎👍
And that’s how you do that. That was great.
Woot woot
and not once did I ever think you were an idiot! Pretty resourceful from what I've seen!
I'm 75 yrs old. The house that was born in was torn down & a new one has been build in it place.
The other goal is not to fall into your old poo hole
Truth, lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂that "cracks " me up
Lol....😊
Wow, and just think my guess was that without the step, when you step up into the outhouse, Jason may have the outhouse tip right over on him. Not Jen 😂 🤣
Good to go literally. 😅
He he he
Good video!
Thanks!
I ‘dig it’. 😍🇨🇦
Ha...Ha....Ha.....😊
Nice deep outhouse. I was trying to remember when you put that other one in and how long it has lasted. I thought the ladder incident was actually in the house but then I remembered it was outside. Glad you were ok after that ...that was scary for sure!
Off grid with Jay and Jen may have just ended.....or maybe it would just be off grid with Jen ....?????
Jay I got a say that I was a little worried about seeing you dig that hole so deep with out it caving in on you. so glad Jen was with you!
I try to be careful my friend
the musical score cracked me up
I found it appropriate.....yes? 😊
Holy crap I just read you descriptions .. Your down state address is right near us.
Most our family lives there.....I grew up in the area too.
I could never live without a flushing toilet!! Don’t understand how you do it.
Lucky Caroline! Needs must!
Jen felt the same way....but she gave in after a bit.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen I still enjoy watching the build. To each his own. You are doing what you love. That’s most important.
Taking a poop
Everyone does it
As you just said all ready tooo gooo.🧻🚽🚦🙊🙊
Lol
