$7,000 Dollar Cabin Gets A Bathroom and Off-Grid Electric - Major Update!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- We have enjoyed our cabin as is for the last 2 years but recently decided it was time to do some major upgrades. In this video I will show you what we have been up to including the installation of an indoor bathroom with a grey water drainage system and the installation of low voltage battery powered LED lighting and a water pump system. I'm currently using a 100ah Battle Born LifePO4 lithium iron phosphate battery to run the cabin and am charging it at home, but will adding solar capability in the future.

Out of all the cabins I've seen built I always wondered about the bathroom no one ever had a bathroom, this is great!!!
I mean an outhouse can count no?
@@carenlook7902 I get it but I don't want to go out in the middle of the night. And no, I don't want to be creative either 😆!
@@AngelaMerici12 Exactly.
@@AngelaMerici12 shouldn't be living in the woods then
@@AngelaMerici12but if you get an constipation, hearing a bear breeth
close to you at pitch black can solve it instantly. Think about benefits
You should get 1 or 2 of those 1000L totes and collect rain water from your rain gutters and you would never have to worry about lugging water again! Awesome video and great work
This is the first video I've watched of yours. You are awesome. No rich daddy, no venture for fame and fortune. Just a really cool guy doing what he loves. There are too many folks who have zero clue about this stuff doing it way outside of their own means. Good to see someone who knows what's up
I just want to thank you. I had never heard about hepvo valves before and my off-grid kitchen doesn't have room for a proper trap and I've been trying like crazy to find a solution. from what I've seen so far this looks perfect.
Oh man, out of all the off-grid cabin videos I've seen, this looks to be the most featured and practical. Instant whole house hot water from the tank. I looked up that hot water heater and it seems like an awesome price. I'm subscribed to learn more from your other videos, I hope to see how you did this all! Take care.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your experience with installing both a shower, water heater, and a propane heater are the projects I had in mind for my addition up at our camp in northern Ontario. Freezing of pipes is an annual concern come winter and you covered that topic nicely.
REALLY NICE BUILD!! While traveling through Maine, we were invited to breakfast at an off-grid house. They used wood chips in a 5-gallon bucket, in their bathroom. At this off grid house were 5 teenage boys. Needless to say, I had to do the doo, and thought for sure that if that bathroom already didn't smell like poop, it was about to. Those wood chips did the trick, I couldn't believe it.
I wonder if building something like this in northern Maine would work, or if how he did the pipes so they didn’t freeze would work. It gets mighty cold up there. I’d love to build something like this and he has the best, smartest ideas. Kudos to him ☝️
Thanks for the ideas about lighting! I am going to use some of them on my cabin. I heat my water in the summer in a black, 55 gallon, plastic trash can. It works wonderfully. I have put a hose connector at the bottom of the trash can to connect to a shower head.
Totally love the whole thing, down to the details. I have to add on though. Dealing with an existing cabin. But I've gotten some great bits of info on how I'm going to add on a 5x8 shower, toilet and storage space. I'll run a roof 18 ft wide across the back of cabin and end up with two covered storage areas on either side of the addition. Roof line will match the short side of the saltbox style
A very nice off-grid cabin with some clever features. Well done.
Fantastic job on the cabin. It’s beautiful. So many great ideas. Thank you for sharing.
The cabin is sooooo cozy and nice.so happy about the bathroom,now you guys can enjoy it for longer time span.its really beautifull.i know you guys enjoy your time their for sure.
Very nice job I really like your idea on the venting of the water heater.
I built an 18’ tiny house on wheels. I towed it from Central California to the center of Montana.
Last summer I added a 10’ x 12’ bedroom & bathroom addition to it.
Haven’t completed the bathroom yet I’m going to use your idea on my tiny house.
Thanks Great info!
It would be hard to imagine doing a better job than you did. I really love this.
Very nice! Ya, it turned out great! the wood finishes on the cabinets and countertops look really awesome! Love the floor to ceiling woodwork! Great ideas!
Looks really great nice to see the cabin again.
I used a 7.5 gal stainless beer keg for my gravity fed shower tank. Works great for a 15 min shower.. Great job on the cabin! Be safe..
Love this idea!
Great job adding the bathroom, you never know, one day you may want to live full time in it! You will need something like a fridge to store your cold foods, guess you could cook outside or on the woodstove! Love the window shutters!
Hello, I told my husband to view your video because it's very impressive. Simply, it's an easy off grid built that can still be done on a low budget.
You've given us the absolute solution for our built.
Thank you for sharing .
Awesome. Good luck with your build
Very informative video. I’m converting a shed into an off grid cabin and your videos helped me tremendously. Thank you.
I like your install of bath, hot water and electrical!
I’m seeing a lot of ideas for my upcoming cabin build. Thank you for posting this.
looks amazing.. looks super cozy and inviting. enjoy
Awesome set up. A murphy bed where your bed is at would open up alot of space. Just an idea. With your skills you could easily build the frame yourself.
My thoughts exactly, and I’d add a fold down table to the base, as a dinette top to use when needed. That’s my vision/dream but what he has is pretty sweet too. 👍
Thanks for the links, it gives me several ideas for my cabin, the window shutters are a great idea.
For your gravity fed shower head you could use the same type of manual valve used in Navy shower heads. Open the valve, get wet, close the valve, scrub up, open the valve again & rinse off. No wasted water. (important if you're hand carrying the water)
As a navy Seabee my first trip was Vietnam, no barracks , we were birthed on the uss baxer a ww11 troop ship , showers for 30min per day get wet soap rinse get out . Fresh water wasn’t for wasting , sure was 😀 glad I wasn’t a real sailor . Only spent 4 or5 days on there but it was and is a memory.
Thank you for your service! JL and The Dude!! 🙏
@@thedude4632 berthed (birthed is coming out of the birth canal), but ya, agree!
I honestly like your off grid cabin more than any of the others on UA-cam !
solar panels will be awesome and the rainwater catchment is a winner I did a 55-gallon poly drum off one gutter downspout it's never been empty....yall looking good man
Love your cabin and the design and your right you can live comfortably!
Y'all have done a beautiful job!!!
That's absolutely beautiful and I can Totally live in that.... Very nice job guys
The best cabin
, I have ever seen, great work
Wow, just wow. I love your little sink.Beautiful
I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD KNOW A SIMPLE AND SMART WAY TO GET IT DONE ! 🙂
This is so helpful. The gray water system especially. I am planning a very similar project for my river camp. Thanks so much. I already have a Thetford I use for tent camping. I think I'm going to do an incinerating toilet in my cabin. I have electricity available.
Now its livable. Really dig that cabin.
Nice little off grid home, you could always make some outside shutters too! :) And either make a shelf above the shower/kitchen to hold some 50 gallon barrels for extra water and put some on the outside to catch rain water filter that to the inside barrels for kitchen/shower too. :)
you mean 5 gal containers.
I would so much rather have the bed where it is. Not a fan of
Murphy beds.
You have answered all my concerns. Smile. Nice job.
Love it! Thanks for sharing as we plan ours!
I think it looks very nice you did a great job
Love it man! We are starting to build our off grid cabin this fall/winter and this gives me some good ideas!
I am a little slow to finding your channel but this is a great video! So much information and love that you offer links to the products!
This is even better! Great job.
I am so glad you did this. That was the only thing I would have changed when I seen your first video. 👍
This is video is exactly what I was looking for thank you
What a beautiful cabin. Dang, I would love to own something like what you built...!
Upgrades = Great Job!!
Very nice. Alot of thought went into this project.
You are a fountain of info. Thanks so much!
Thank you
You did a wonderful job. Thanks for the great video
Cool cabin! I like the 12v system!
Absolutely amazing!
Looks awesome.
You are just a couple years ahead of me. Nice job.
Wow thanks much. I'm going to be moving into my 14x18 cabin before next winter that has no water, plumbing, electric or heat. I've been considering many ideas but loving your shower propane n electric set up. I'm gonna put in a wood stove, propane heater, Kitchen sink, cabinets, propane stove and probably a unique refrigerator. Probably going to get a well drilled up in the field above the cabin and use it to fill an IBC tote and use gravity to the cabin with a 12 volt pump there. Probably also going to use a solar generator and some panels for electric.
Awesome.
Love it, for me I would have the loft half way through, more storage that way, and a small office to sit in.
then you have have high walls
By far the best cabin on UA-cam.
Who wants to take a dump in their living room????
This such a nice video! You’ve given me some ideas for my own cabin!😊
Just found your video. Great job on the cabin!!
Turned out real nice.
Great work! Very impressive
Looks good 👍..ingenuity prevails

Love what you done bug Plus on bath room
Excellent ideas!
Cabin is really great Ada far as water for extended stay they sell these things called bladders you fill with water like up to 50 gallons you could refill with that
Love all the new additions. Bathroom now,moving on up. Lol
Nice work!!!
Awesome job
Very very beautiful!
Very nice job!
LOL,,, This looks fantastic. I did get some working ideas from you as well. Not sure I wanna do that Tongue and Groove walls again. That was 3 weeks out of my life,, : ) But, Boy ! It sure is a Beaut ! Congrats and Thanx for the amazing Video. I am currently having a 12’x16’ garden shed built and in our Twsp we have an ‘under 200 Ft’ size limit on skids. Not sure how I’m gonna handle any underneath plumbing projects.
Great cabin sir 👍🏼❤️
Very nice , well done
Great video 👍
Você é um grande profissional.tudo perfeito... Nota mil pra sua cabine...
Using custom cut microfiber foam blocks (or any kind of foam blocks cut to fit) you can put them in between the windows and the shutters you built to keep the cold out through the winters.
TheyFramedMe: Or just use bubble wrap.
@@SuzanneWho I've never tried bubble wrap as insulation. Will be a decent experiment.
@@theyframedme I think you just moisten the window and the bubble wrap should stick. I haven’t tried it yet, but there are several videos about it. 🙂
Great use for all that bubble wrap from shipping that ends up in the trash.
Great inspiration for some things we have in mind for a property we're working on now. I watched from its first iteration until now, and I love the updates!
Thank you
Nice work
Very nice my friend!
Where I live you could never get a shed this cheap at the price you paid for it this is very nice
lOVE THE WINDOW SHUTTERS.
Great job
❤️ love it!
Very nice!
Great job, i like it. 👍
So beautiful. this is a dream of mine
Lol. I just left a comment on the “$7000…” video. Another great job. I have a feeling you are gonna want to expand before too long.
Awesome stuff
Awesome job man new subscriber here thanks for sharing

I am blown away.
I learned stuff ...Thanks
Looks great, that wall paneling alone would cost $7,000 even with the slightly reduced prices. I guess that stuff is crazy popular now because it sure isn't priced like soft wood.
