Today we show you how we built a staircase leading up to the cabin, and began working on the inside of the outhouse by creating a partition wall for the shower cubicle.

You all are lovely, authentic people. A joy to watch.
Brilliant. I've never been so keen to hear about the progress of a toilet block as I am this one! And I love how happy Ginjey seems to be in her new environment. Cheers.
I’ve enjoyed watching your build, but equally, I’ve enjoyed the energy of your relationship. You work so well together! Great people!
Pppppp
Great job Theo
Theo has once again done a beautiful job inside and out! And this is from someone who helped and mostly watched her late husband build a 2400 square foot house in the Texas Hill Country.
Gary would have notched that staircase in with his jigsaw and set the tredders in that way ,but I think I like the way that Theo did it better. If you have enough of the cladding to make shingles, it might look cute to put a little 3-foot by 4-foot awning over your doorway to help protect you from the rain and to also protect that beautiful stained glass that's in your doorway. Y'all have the fanciest dang outhouse that it has ever been my experience to see kids! All that you need now would be a crystal chandelier that is powered by solar panels to provide Lighting in there. ;-)
Thank you for the lovely comment Mary, sounds like your husband had a lot of knowledge!
Crystal chandelier, YESS!!
@@theindieprojects yes Bee & Theo, Gary was a very knowledgeable man. He was the only person I knew of who could look at a piece of medieval armor, start doing the math, get a piece of sheet metal and start cutting after he had drawn out his plans on a paper napkin. I know that there are others out there that can do the exact same thing he was just the only one whom I knew. He was able to do the same thing with any construction project that he cared to complete. We had a two-story Texas Farmhouse package home kit delivered in late May of 1983, only to have a ranch style floor plan and instruction booklet sent for what was supposed to be a two-story structure. Gary went to his various manuals and adapted the materials that we were given. Since we put pressurized lumber on the first floor for the floor joists we were able to double the floor joists on the second floor as well as with the staircase. We were able to put our king size waterbed upstairs and not have to worry about it falling through.
An even greater blessing was that his father was a concrete and steel construction engineer. Dad's degree was an architectural engineering and over his 60 year professional career wrote monographs, textbooks ,and other types of papers , as well as editing books that are now considered the gold card standard of that particular type of engineering throughout the world. Dad designed the interlocking pieces of the Washington DC metro line, or as you call it the underground, that goes throughout the nation's capital and all around its surrounding areas as far as outlying towns in Virginia and
Maryland. Gary would always run a design idea past Dad before we actually started on the build. Gary passed away in 2006 and Dad just passed away this past Tuesday. Both were those giant of a man type Texans that everybody sees portrayed in movies, but they were that kind of man in real life.
That is why I can sit back and see what you two kids are doing and be appreciative of the type of building that Theo is doing, because it's very much like what Dad and Gary would have done. The only recommendation I would give you and it's not for your Outhouse building but for your existing barn is put in some reflective barrier up against that roof , sort of like the reflectix in a van build , so that it will repel the heat from the Summer sun...if you do that with the existing structure, the temperature difference between the two will be roughly 20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Trust me on this one, and just listen to your Texas Hill Country granny and do it! We did it at our Medina Lake House in 1983 before it became an industry-standard here in Texas. It cut our Energy bill in half of what most people's were for an equal sized house.
And yes before I had to sell that house in 2011, I had remodeled the downstairs bedroom and created a master bath out of a storage room next to it . I had a black crystal chandelier over my jetted tub. 😉😊😋 I absolutely loved it!
P.S. I absolutely hate the fact that this stinking Android telephone of mine cannot understand my Texas accent half of the time! Stinking piece of junk!
Mary Ellen Cook What beautiful memories Mary. 🤗. Great idea to protect the door!!
Bea and Theo have you thought of protecting your cladding, doing a technique called: “Shou-Sugi-Ban” is Japanese and literally translates to “burnt cedar board”. It seals the wood and makes it water shed. Many a You Tube video on it. My grandad used this technique on his cabins and outhouses in Maine USA. Just a thought. Love to you both and of course Gingie 🥰 Nana B
Plant hangers! Just put some rope on each corner of the wood square. And hang it wherever u want and put some cute plants on it. I've done it with my rest wood and it turned out really cute. And pinterest worthy ;)
You are doing great there Theo and it’s so beautiful you done a great job you both did there
Thingemajig thats a word we use here in good old South Africa. Good to here that somebody so far out in another country use it as well
The pallet cladding looks fabulous!!!
Don’t forget to waterproof the inside woodwork. A hot shower produces a lot of condensation
It's so nice to watch your videos. You can really see in your guys' faces how satisfying and rewarding it is to create and build something.
Oh wow it’s coming along brilliantly. So rustic and cozy. Theo, how could you not be proud every time your eyes rest on the little cabin? 😁😁
Wow what an awesome job you’ve made of it !! Theo’s woodworking skills have come on leaps and bound since you started your van build - he’s a true pro now! So excited to see the finished “shoilet” 😃
Great work! Congratulations.
Theo, you should use your Gram's jam pot as a washing up sink in the bath house.
Wow it’s looking amazing guys 👍
Idea to use up the off cuts - shelves for your toiletries and towels and perhaps a little stool to sit on to put your shoes back on after the shower. The stairs look great.
I thought the very same thing. You can always use shelves in a "bathroom".
The wind is called Nortada
It blows a lot on the coast
Keeps summer bearable
But chills a bit in the winter
Looking so good great job guys😊
That shower wall is amazing!!!!
Thanks Ali! 😊
Alison Gove-Humphries l
It looks amazing! I'm so excited to see the other projects after this one's done
Thank you! really lovely to hear :)
Looking fantastic 😊😀😁
Wow.. Kids Love your videos and how nice and neat everything looks... And no experience! You both look like a couple of pros! Love your music also! Plug On! Can't wait for the next video!
It looks awesome! Can’t wait for it to be finished! Cheers Oliver
Thanks Oliver!
Nice you guys are living the dream. I started watching about 2 years ago and you’ve come so far from putting the work in its awesome. You even inspired me to get my own van for converting. I’ve just done a tour it still needs work but I’m happy so far with the outcome. Van life is the best life
you two are so human , love the faults and all about you two , makes me feel much more affection for you both , love what you two have done so far , now you just need to build an outside pizza oven ... make stone baked bread , pizza and even cook stews and roasts in it
Wow it sure looks great. How exciting it is to watch your progress on your land! Gingi will have a hard time staying inside once you start to travel again. Keep up the super job you two are doing!
Looks great. Even the "poo bin" 😂😂😂😂
Good job! About the stairs I just would recommend two screws per side. If the wood is out in the weather all the time it will dry out often and this can result in „shape shift“ and the one screw can crack.
A suggestion that you put stones or something under the base of the steps, as that will stop the wood rotting less quickly.
Well done for learning all that skills. Unbelievable
Amazing job guys, looking forward to seeing it completed.
Absolutely fantastic work, considering you have done nothing like this before. To you sir, I tip my hat.. 👏👍
E' stupendo !!! e voi siete bravissimi!
It turned out beautifully!
You are very handy! The cabin looks quite well, much nicer than would expect for a toilet :) Looks like a tiny house for Glamping.
Even the stairs are amazing!
Congrats on the excelent job on the property
Awesome job guys, your talents know no bounds. 👏😎🔨
Great Couple enjoyed the Video taste wood work job well done
The "shoilet " looks awesome, 😎😎😎👍👍👍!!! Looking forward to the finished product, and the final, complete tour? Thanks again for the videos, plz, keep them coming? Eric Sulen, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
You've both done an amazing job with that I'm impressed! And the pleasure of looking at it after you've built it yourself...bravo
I love it!!! Wow! The rustic look is really neat!
Wow, you've done an amazing job guys! I've been watching for a long time and it's been riveting. So pleased with how it's turned out for you!
Just one thing though - I know it's not my business but please make sure you're looking after yourselves! You guys work so hard for so long and you both deserve some rest and relaxation every now and again... A cheeky spa day never hurt anyone lol...
HI YOU GUYS SO SPLENDED FUN COUPLE! MY INSPIRATION FOR VAN LIFE AND MAKING VIDEOS!
Love the music in this vlog. The showlette looks fantastic!
Good job on the steps 🤓🤙
Hi guys brill stuff make so funky signs out of your off cuts
Theo , Nice steps, If you only put one screw each side on the treads then it will buckle and never go back without splitting , Ive built loads like that, YOU NEED ONE IN EACH CORNER. I know you where short on screws , maybe you've done it now.
Love the look of the wood 😍 great job guys 🤗
Hi Theo and Bee - looking really great - it's coming on quickly - good job - keep it up - thanks for sharing - Chris & Marianne 😀👍😜
Love your build it’s looking so awesome!!
I am excited! 😀
you need to seal the wood with a waterproof sealer to protect it from the elements.
Isn't the university of UA-cam a wonderful thing! Great job.
Film the city sometime; curious.
Brilliant! Keep up the good work guys !
🌍🚐💨
Yeah Brilliant ❣ Again! ANOTHER FULL ROUNDED CONTENT!
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!
💋4 Ginjey

Ginjey was helped down by Theo! Thanks for all the support guys 😊😊
Brilliant!
Looking good guys
Love the rustic look...done my van very rustic...mostly pallet wood
Great time lapse and love the music too
Hi you young stunning beautiful ones 😊😊💜🙏👍🌟
Seeing this film
Makes me so proud
to
Call you beautiful ones
My beautiful friends.
Best wishes forever
to you both
And all.
Ps. This video
Was just what I need after a very busy stressful week. 👍🙏😊
This video
Made me really relax for 15.49 mins
of my life this morning
Thank you both again
For being such beautiful young caring souls 🙏💜
Your both
Very hard working
Beautiful souls. 💜🙏👍💜
You got my eyes in a few tears
😊👍💦
This morning
Because you reminded
me and of my of my girlfriend susan
Together
From when I was in my 20s
and I've never stopped loving her ever
She sadly left my life
And the earth
when she was early 20's
But we used to build things together and we hoped for a wonderful life together
Life for us
took a change for the worse suddenly
but we all should never forget
our past
🙏💜🙏
but and always indeed
look forward to our futures 💜🌍🌟🙏👍
Best wishes to you both and all
forever and more.
💜🙏💜🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌍
Whoop whoop 🙌 here we are again
Congratulations on a great build. It looks fantastically rustic and cozy.
I’m impressed with the wood you were able to get. Your ‘wood guy’ has some great product.
With example of this quality job you are doing on the Shoilet, I’m stoked about the barn remodeling project. It’s going to be epic!
Best Of Luck
Fantastic job guys it looks fabulous 💪👌👍
It looks great!! 👍🏻
Top notch job you two👍👍
Looking fab x
Great job. The "down bits" are called risers. 😉
Make some bird feeders and houses out of it
Birdhouse from the leftovers? Or feeders for chickens or lifestock(?)?
Oh you guys it is looking so good I really envy your life there together you are so lucky :)
Leftovers call for a bird house/feeder - so you can sit and watch the birdlife ;-)
What will you guys do about drainage, or water for the shower? Or lighting?
Love the inside wall. Whole thing is so rustic and gorgeous
Thank you so much Nicola 😊
Clamps. Also my favorite tools are ajustable straps.
only down side for your project is wild fires, Portugal is known for wild fires and your cladding is really acceptable for fires as well as wood it self, because it is soft wood.
Loving your video you are doing a great job on your DIY project loving your Lifestyle 👍🏻
Nice
Awsome guys 👊
Welcome to Portugal :-) (I know you have been around for some time but it's my first comment on your videos :-D)
Congratulations, it looks amazing. :-)
Will you add some kind of protection layer to the wood?
Are the stringers pressure treated or cedar?
Hello Indies
Loving the Shoilet build!
Please can you let me know where you bought your foldable trolley? It looks so handy!!
Thanks,
Sarah.
Looking good guys :-)
Not being awkward but should have small landing outside door as it can sometimes catch people out having top step right out side door. Love you guys.
I bet all the spiders and bugs love that place :D
Isn't it amazing that you can just watch a few videos, grab some wood, nails and a hammer (maybe a saw or two), and magically create something that actually works!
Off-cuts for birdhouses. Gingy will appreciate.
What are you planning to use for flooring?
to what city do you have to head back to ?
"like a glove!"
Looks so good! Congrats on everything so far. Y’all make me feel like I should be able to do handy things too and yet when I try... 🙅🏼♀️ Is there any plan for the corners where the cladding comes together? Wondering how sealed it really is from the outside. Thanks!
cool vid, how much was the land?
Looks great! (I be been wondering who’s keeping an eye on your land and keeping Everything secure whilst you’re in Scandinavia?
Anymore podcasts or live Q&A coming????
Really, what is life without one's own pooooooooooo bucket ha ha Looking great!!!
Did you guys think about letting the poo box sit outside the shed, under it? Also, how are you planning to water proof the shower area?
Well done amazing. I love the cladding in and out the rustic feel. Very romantic soundtrack. Why is ginjey spelt like tHat been meaning to ask fOr the longest while i thought her name was gingy. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Haha yes the music was a little romantic wasn’t it! Not too sure why we spelled it that way, just like it as Ginjey 😊
@@theindieprojects Ha ha - spelled that way makes you say it with a west mids accent =D
Ruth Yael Ben-Adir .....maybe because some people have a hard time in English with the "soft g".....Believe it or not I have heard people produce ginger as "Ging Ger" both with hard g's ....but since they are using ginjey I guess that is not the issue?
@@theindieprojects what was the name of the track used btw? Really loved it!
Would some of the extra pieces fit for some shelving?
Will you be cladding the other side of stud wall?
11:08 that moment when a man has a van but it doesen't use it :)
if you had put 3x3 or 4x4 in your external corners you could have butted the planks into the corner and had a finished edge for the planks to go to ? but hey you live and learn and its looking good xx
We chose to do it this way as we will have finishing edges that we are yet to attach :)
@@theindieprojects hope that weather improves come feb 26th as we will be in albufeira by then hopefully ?
Very professional job guys,......will you have a outside porch solar light?
Thanks! We are thinking of different lighting options at the moment and will definitely be including solar lights :)
