Building a SIMPLE Off Grid Bathroom | Ep. 1 | Visit From an Old Friend, “It’s Dead Nuts”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 сер 2023
- Getting started on the bathroom has been a real challenge with rain every other weekend it seems. My good friend Dave has been following my build and wanted to fly down to Tennessee to lend a hand. I’ve known him since kindergarten (40 plus years) where we grew up together in upstate NY. We finally worked out a few days that was good for both of us and sure enough it rained for 2 of the 4 days he was here.
We managed to get some trim and chinking done on the inside during the rain and got most of the bathroom walls completed when the weather allowed. Huge thanks!
Please subscribe to Dave’s social media below. He’s a great photographer who loves the outdoors and nature.

I love how every surface is a nailing surface.
It sure helps 👍
I absolutely love the simplicity of the basic shell. After binge watching this is something that my husband and myself could accomplish. 🤞🏻 Our dream will one day become reality.
🎉❤ good
Thanks 👍
Great idea for the build,,,2x8,,,should stand the test of time
Thanks. I hope so 👍
Best cabin on youtube change nothing carry on your the upside down fox,,,best life
Wow, thanks for the kind words 👍
Screw the rain, we got work to do. 😂😂. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 peace
Exactly. After 2 straight days of rain we needed to get stuff done.
@@TheOffGridExperience I have done the same thing. Lol. Good work.
Another solid room in place…well built
Thanks, it’s pretty solid if I say so myself. 👍
Awesome 🙂👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the addition. Coming together nicely. Something about nature videos that is super relaxing.
Thanks 👍
God bless!
Amazing job. I have forgotten to give you thumbs up so i will go back and fix that. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you 👍
Dude your awesome builder wished I had that talent
Thanks!
liked when you were commentating. gives a little more connection between your process and the end...!! Great job ...!!
Thanks. Plan to do some commenting on next video.

Your house is getting better and better. What a nice job! Thanks for the nature shots! Beautiful animals.
Thanks for watching 👍
Looking good! Kudos to Dave for making the trip to help out. The nature shots were awesome. Thanks for the update.
Thanks for watching!
Bathroom is looking good. Almost dried in. Loved the clip of the wildlife. The music was amazing. The more I watch your videos, the more it makes me want a cabin like yours.
Thanks 👍 It's been a long but fun learning process. I highly recommend it.
A gable on the bathroom side would look great and would give you more room in the loft. As if you didn't know.
That's a great idea but trying to keep it a simple shed roof. Maybe down the road though....
Really.should have waited until he could afford a larger add-on, or planned a bigger structure from the beggining that included space for a bathroom...He's now seeing why 2X4's, and Celetex were invented...Building like he did costs a literal fortune, with a much lower appraised value...Though, a modern bathroom helps the value tremendously, only a small % of people are interested in fire only heating...
Nice idea . What a great way to build a cabin.
Glad you like it!
This is the first time that I tuned into your channel........What a great cabin.......You do a excellent job......Every part of the cabin looks real professional as opposed to handyman type looks........I subscribed.....
Welcome aboard. Much appreciated 👍
I love the looks of what you're doing. Even though it's a new construction it looks like it's been there for 80 years which is really cool
Thanks. That was my intention.
Coming together! Well played on the cutting away all the joints to create the opening for bathroom--Excited to see how you finish the roof structure. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
Man , you're doing exactly what i always wanted to do . I can't think of two better things than living in nature and building your own rustic place . I really like that 2'' X 8 " system you created
Thanks. It's a ton of work but will be worth it in the end.
I like the cabin a lot
Thanks 👍
🥰Thanks for the Video. I enjoy them all.🥰
Glad you like them!
Merveilleux paysage. 🇺🇸

Great bathroom addition, now for that hot tub... 😉👍
Good idea!!
@@TheOffGridExperience😂when are you finishing the bathroom?
@@katheyadamspavelka7227 should be done in about 2 weeks…hopefully.
I love this little house. Just in a rush to see it all. Thanks for answering me.@@TheOffGridExperience
Beautiful stuff. The scenery, music, cooking, and building. Thank you.
Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching 👍
Always amazing. Love seeing your creative workmanship and your music selections are always so calming. Makes watching your journey such a great experience. Cheers!
Thanks again 👍 Cheers!
I'm going to put my off grid camode in the kitchen.
Thanks for watching 👍
Looking great
Thanks!
Great job! Once the bathroom is done, it will change everything! Looking forward to the completion of that room.
You and me both! Thanks 👍
Love the way the cabin is looking. Just trying to figure out the mindset of not making and using a "JIG" to build the "logs".
Probably takes the same amount of time unless I’m missing something.
This cabin becomes nicer and nicer - have fun with it! I hope the bathroom and the bedroom will be ready before winter then ...!
Greetings from Germany from teh silver fox, David 😉🦊
Thank you 👍 Cheers!
Awesome brother.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Awesome as always. Great work on the bathroom addition. By far, the neatest cabin build going on UA-cam. Unique design and construction technique. Always enjoy watching each episode. Regards, Randy in Arizona
Thanks again! Much appreciated 👍
Great job as usual!
Thanks again!
Your video is very good, I really like your beautiful house
Thanks for watching 👍
Love your work, brother.
Thanks 👍
Wonderful cozy cabin. Great ideas. You and The Outsider among best, inspiring YT channels. Great work and thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks for the comment 👍 Much appreciated!
Looking good. My guestimation is the inside measurements of your bathroom is 42”x90”. I’m anxious to see how you lay it out. We are hoping to fit a corner shower, toilet, and small sink in a 48”x72.
Haha...spot on!
man the animal shots are awesome, great video
Like your cabin, The scenery is so pretty.💪👏
Yes, thanks 👍
Looks good. Is this just a get away cabin or are you planning on living there full time?
@deniselockhart2882 just a weekend getaway right now...
Stand back y'all Jamie's got his chainsaw..😆 cabin is looking great!
Haha....yes. That 24" chainsaw is a beast to handle.
You have a great eye for proportions, layouts, etc. Keep up the great work. Subscriber #13. :)
Thanks again #13 👍
I haven't been getting notifications. Going to have to check in on my own. I have some catching up to do i guess.
Thanks for checking in. Hope the notifications start working.
Finally! I was waiting for this video so long. I am looking forward to see the end of the bathroom. It looks really nice and a great job man... If only here in Italy it should be so easy to build something on your own property I would like to create something similar here, but the rules here are very stricktly
Hope you like it!
@@TheOffGridExperience of course I do.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
touqre head screws..you'll love em
Greetings from West Chester, OH. Great cabin build. What is the link to your friend Dave’s social media? It’s not in the description.
Thanks! His channel is Sensubly Health and is linked in the description.
Good
Hello! I want to apologize because some time ago I dared to give you advice on where you should best place the staircase that goes up to the upper floor. You kindly told me that this is where the access door to your bathroom would go. I shouldn't make those kinds of comments. I think, as a viewer, I should exclusively watch, learn and enjoy your videos. I wish I had the courage and entrepreneurial capacity that you have. Many times I dream of building a cabin like this, like yours, where I can live the rest of my life, far from the crowd and the noise of the big city where I now live. You are doing an extraordinary job. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and extraordinary dedication. All the best. Carlos.
No need to apologize. Thanks for watching 👍
I have to build something like this
You should!
@@TheOffGridExperience Thanks, I am definitely going to be saving. Great stuff
You know I have been watching for first time I really like what you have done the design the cosiness and the colour where it is located kind of ironic I am a modern minimalist but nevertheless I like what you have done. Congrats.
Thanks for watching!
great great cabin man. i just noticed your profile.. your around bon aqua. i am in the hills out here around hurricane mills. had no idea you were so close. it you ever need extra pair of hands, give me a holler.
Thanks neighbor 👍
It seems to me a jig of some kind would speed up the process of joining the boards together...
Hey guy's great job, since I'm blind on one eye can't see at the other is hard for me to tell on the video.
What size birds are you using 2x8 ? And what is the measurement on the middle board to the side boards ( the tong)
Yes, all 2x8's. The middle tongue board sits up 2"
Thanks for watching 👍
WOW! JUST found your channel. It came in on the list of coming up videos. All I had to do was see a cabin in the woods ♥️😊. My house is set way back from the road, woods on all sides. I’ve been here from 1984 to Mid March 2022- middle of the night fire 😪 Come spring, I got a small camper to set here and bring my husky who was in heet. My son who got stuck here when Covid hit to visit his dogs who I was tending while he was looking for a house in Nova Scotia. He’s a breeder and I knew how noisy his males could be wanting the female and never renting before thought perhaps take Sorcha out of the apartment for abit would be good
I planted my gardens, started picking up glass and doors insulation and anything else I could safely. They want $15000 to tear down the burned frame 😳😳 LIKE HELL even if I had that kinda money. So started out to be a couple weeks but I left when it was too cold … BUT spring spring and so did me and my dog and we came here in April. ♥️♥️ I tried every way possible to fit my wood stove in here but it’s not gonna work so I’ve been toying with the idea of building a small room on somehow to house the wood stove 😊. 🙏 My pension is very little but old age pension starts this winter THEN I can at least afford to get started somehow on living back here at HOME for the years I’ve left. Your place is gorgeous and is my life’s dream and how I’ve always wanted to live. I’ve subscribed 👍😊. Looking forward to binge watch all I’ve not seen
Keren keren
Newbie here love your cabin and how you have it all set up on the property
I do have a question are you going to build a root cellar for your food
Thanks. That is in the plans. 👍
The bathroom roof line looks great. Too bad the rain stifled us so much. I wish I could of helped finishing bathroom. I’ll make it up with more chinking 😅.
Haha...sounds good!
Шикарно для лесной избы супер классно у вас золотые руки отличный мастер строитель респект всех вам благ я из России!!!!👍🕌👍👍🏫🇷🇺🏡👍👍👍👍👍🌲🍀☘🌿👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌄👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
❤❤🎉😮👍👍👍👍
I am curious how you keep the OSB from rotting or otherwise soaking up moisture from the exposed edge.
Trim. You can see it here. ua-cam.com/video/J0H0NSEQilo/v-deo.html
That cut at 8:33 and the ones like it were brutal. Hate to see the breakage/tear out. Maybe an oscillating tool to finish the cuts?
They will be wrapped by 1x's when I finish trim everything so I'm not worried. Thanks for watching 👍
I would have used a tarp and one above to keep everything dry, but that's just me...
Love your videos. Curious to know what grade 2x8 you are using.
Not sure but it’s southern yellow pine. Thanks 👍
Probably #2 if you bought them from a Lowes or HD. We are planning our cabin build and it’s going to be very similar to what you have built and I have been trying to figure out the pitch for the main body. I was thinking it is a 12/12 but with the amount of courses on the gable end the math looks closer to a 14/12. I am a roof/floor designer and drawing it out on our software it looks like you have from the top plate to the peak is close to 8’. Also….what are your pitches for the bedroom and bath? Thanks for your help!!!
What kind of 2x8s are these. Pressure treated?
No pressure treated wood should be used on interior. I only used pressure treated on foundation posts.
😂Bro your cabin is so dark and gloomy like the cabin from the evil dead. Like a 1985 horror movie. But great video.
Haha...thanks...I think?
Were the roof panels repurposed from another house? I’m only asking because of all the rust. Why not new panels? Maybe cost?
I rusted them myself for an antique look.
It's a great videos of the build but I think you should have made a plan of the whole cabin before beginning
I don’t believe it was his plan to build a bedroom and bathroom. He’s doing a great job though!
If you watch this video, you will see it was part of the plan.
ua-cam.com/video/Xxxw0mC60A4/v-deo.html
It appears you didn’t shou sugi ban the 4x4s supports. Is there a reason why?
The 6x6 posts for the foundation were all pressure treated.
@@TheOffGridExperience of course, I just didn’t know if charring them would diminish the benefit of them being pressure treated, because the cabin looks rustic, but the pressure treated posts have a that new green wood look. I suppose over time the posts will grey over.
C'est de mieux envieux merci
Hey honey build me one of those .😊
Would blowtorching the wood before putting it together be better or it doesn’t matter ???
It's a bit messier and probably a bit safer.
Follow the animals you will find food
nice poop room
great. he ruined all joints . . . please build alone 😂
Haha...they will be wrapped by 1x's so not worried.
Pretty ratty looking piece of OSB you used on the floor .
Yes. Perfect for the application.
Silly question but why doesn't anyone who builds off grid tiny house/cabin factor in the bathroom in the original build/plans......just wondering. After watching hundreds of these type videos they NEVER build a bathroom 😂😂😂 Especially with these new dry flush and compost toilets
The outsider did.
Poop.
Haha...yes. Soon!
Seriously? You used a piece of Almost ROTTED Chipboard as a Floor? Then let it get rained on to soak up even more Moisture???
bring him some of that 80 dollar board, he won't mind.
Yes. Same thing I did on main cabin. The 1/2 OSB is just to walk on and provides no other structural value
