    Don't be too hard on yourselves on the way you do things. It looks good from here.
    That was a lesson my husband kept telling me when I didn't think everything looked perfect on youtube.
    He always told me..."Do you, and no one else"....😂 Easier said, then done.

    Temporary fix to the outhouse shall be ok, Spring is just around the corner folks and you'll have heat , doesn't matter what it looks like it will do until you can fix it. Id put a foam toilet seat on it ( blue foam is warm). Nice work you won't want to leave it lol. That is a good heater . see ya on the next one folks .

    Good morning, great job. After watching several channels on homesteading, off grid, etc. I wanted to mention that from what they said critters will haul away pink/soft insulation for their nests. Hopefully you can find a more permanent solution before next winter but the heater had to happen. Stay warm spring is coming.

    If you follow or contact Eric and Arielle @Simple Living Alaska
    , theyve been off-grid in Alaska for a number of years now and moved from maybe Wassilla area to up near TOK a year ago. He has done several of those diesel heaters for different projects. A truly likeable couple who will have zero hesitation in helping you troubleshoot.

    Also on the exhaust where you screwed it to the wood wall, I would take a piece of the concrete backer board you used around your fireplace and screw that to the wall then screw the exhaust to that. Could help prevent a fire.

      Yes, in the next few weeks or so we will start putting together the bathroom. Over the summer we will get all the pipes under the house run and hook into the spring to hopefully have running water.

    You cant sit on a cold hard plastic toilet seat. Cut your own seat out of foam insulation board...much better as it is not cold to sit on and warms up quickly. Also, keep your toilet paper in a tin tobacco or coffee can with a lid...save it from the mice etc.

    • @ouralaskahomestead
      @ouralaskahomestead  Місяць тому

      We luckily don’t have mice around here. I will definitely look into getting some foam for a seat though because yes, the one we have is very cold in the winter.

      Actually this is the exact opposite of wasting materials. Every piece was repurposed from a previous project. Yes, when you’re doing construction there is usually mess. We always clean up afterwards.
