Nice job guys! You accomplished a lot in one day. I'm also a fan of the Ryobi cordless tools, but didn't know they made a dust buster. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Btw: your shower room? I'm jealous!!! Its gorgeous for off-grid!! As much as you love all your outdoor, rugged, living and sports I can tell you're still a girly at heart! How? You had decorations in the window sill BEFORE the room was done. I love it!! And you have a great week, too, Jen
Awesome! I just love your construction videos. You two do a great job. Yes, I also have battery power tools....thank you NASA! Couldn't survive without them. I'm very impressed with your sweating pipe....not many do that anymore. Ya'll got something to be proud of. Thanks Jen and hubby for your time, very entertaining.
Awesome progress Jen. I'm working on the water storage tank, aka swimming pool and I did some maintenance on the Yanmar excavator. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
🌼🌼Busy day @ the shower house, it's finishing beautifully!! Nice touch with the "faux wood" vinyl flooring! Looking forward to the rest of the series! Have a wonderful week🏞🌼🌼
Hi Jennifer. As always I enjoyed your video. The only concern I have is with putting the steel wool against the copper pipe. Have you considered galvanic corrosion? I might have wrapped the pipe with a bit of duct tape to prevent any reaction between dissimilar metals. The steel wool is a good idea to keep mice out. They'll chew through foam and wood.
Nice job Jen, There is a type of metal wool that may last longer and not cause your copper pipe to corrode from the electrolytic or galvanic action between the steel and the copper. Bronze wool is much less corrosive when in contact with the pipe you are using. I once lived in a steel Quonset house up in Alaska. The house was an old ammunition bunker. I had to dig a tunnel beside the house ( underground house) to get to a copper pipe that had burst. Turns out that the pipe had come in contact with the steel structure and where it touched, it corroded. I like the way you do things. NIce looking project. Smiling, George.
Good idea. I was thinking on doing the same around a propane line but i will cover the line prior to steel wool. Even though copper is more noble than steel, there could be alloys in the metal that are weaker than the steel.
We don't see your husband in videos very often. Is he always at the cabin with you when you make your videos? I always just see you and think your so brave to be out there by yourself. I would never do that. Lol. I love that vinyl floor Makes me want it in my kitchen. Haha. Take care.
Hi Jen Everything is looking great so far. I bet you two can't wait until it's completely finished so you can actually use it. We are looking forward to a new update thanks for sharing
Great video. Thx. My cabin in WNY has no water electric or plumbing. But it has an outhouse. The cabin is way to small to have a shower indoors so my thought is to do exactly what you're doing there. What type of heating will you have? My plan is to live in it year round.
Great video . Looking great so far . Be interesting in how you set up your drainage system . Waiting for that . Thanks . Do you have videos on the cabin and shower house build . I like the large over hang on the shower house .
Looking good. Is that the elusive Mr. Yam helping you with the install? Are you going to have a way to heat the water in winter other than the black barrel?
Great job Jen! It's coming along nicely... will you be draining the plumbing during the winter months? I use heat trace when needed which uses just 7 watts per foot and is automatic. A temporary water holding tank inside the shower house and a tiny wood burner with a copper tubing heat reclaim on the stovepipe would work great in there for hot water! Take care. 👍👍
I was wondering where your pump set up was / is and where you turn it on. I did not see any switches near your shower stall or a faucet handle etc ?????? I know you Canadians are tuff but what would you say the water temp was coming out of the shower head ?? Thx Rick
Ok I feel like you could of had a tub in there an a toilet meaning a DIY toilet on the other side cause I plan on doing something like this if I have a tiny house thts small where u do I have room for my bathroom. But if I'm wrong let me know but over all looks nice.
Is that your husband we sometimes see in videos? Also what do you do for a living? Something in biology or forestery? Also what's with the gloves hung up above the door? 😊
Do you live full time all year? We do and love it. Are you separating your pee from the other? As we did , we learned it makes a really big difference in smell. We have been living off grid full time for 10 years now. We dug a well couples years back and have a hot water on demand. Wouldn't live any other way. We live old school much as possible.😊
God loves everyone so much He came to die and rise so that if we choose to accept Jesus as our Lord an Savior repenting of our sins we may be gifted eternal salvation through Jesus's perfect sacrifice on the cross for us
You must trust your hubby completely! Your fingers looked so unprotected as he was hammering nails into the boards for the stud wall. What a team!!!!
You empower every woman. You are really awesome and so are your building skills!
What a beautiful spot for an outdoor shower!
Thanks!
Wow, Great job!! What a difference!
Excellent soldering skills. Tidy!
I enjoyed. A good bath, you can relax
Looking good! Really liked that steel wool idea for mice, think I am going to use that!
Also have to add wish I thought of that years ago, Now I ll will try that should work great
Shower house looks great. No more sponge bath YeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeaaAaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Nice job guys! You accomplished a lot in one day. I'm also a fan of the Ryobi cordless tools, but didn't know they made a dust buster. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Looking good. What a lovely addition to the cabin! And yes, it DOES look easy to clean. The steel wool is a great addition.
Great job,looking very nice and a great choice in the flooring ...thanks for sharing!

Fantastic job. It’s hard work I know but great reward when all done.

Nice job, coming along great! 👍👍👍😃✌️

Looking Good ya’ll. Greetings from hot/dry central Texas!
Yes, love the colour of the flooring. Looks great! 👌
🌼🌼Busy day @ the shower house, it's finishing beautifully!! Nice touch with the "faux wood" vinyl flooring! Looking forward to the rest of the series! Have a wonderful week🏞🌼🌼
Looking good
Jen, Jen Steel wool is not going to stop mice. Very nice work.

I might have wrapped the pipe with a bit of duct tape to prevent any reaction between dissimilar metals. The steel wool is a good idea to keep mice out. They'll chew through foam and wood.
Stainless steel wool would also be an option.
Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing :)
Nice job! You guys make a good team! 👍✌️☮️

NICE!
Wonderful install, Jen & Cam ! Bring On The Dirt ! Have A swell Labor Day, Friends ! ATB T God Bless
You two do quality construction work. Time to move up to a 1500+ sq ft home project . Preferably lake front .
Looks great guys. I just installed the same shower.
good job impressive
We don't see your husband in videos very often. Is he always at the cabin with you when you make your videos? I always just see you and think your so brave to be out there by yourself. I would never do that. Lol. I love that vinyl floor
Makes me want it in my kitchen. Haha. Take care.
When live full time sometimes you are alone. This life is not for everyone.☺
congratulations to you both, great job, well done .
Getting some really good tips!
Hi Jen Everything is looking great so far. I bet you two can't wait until it's completely finished so you can actually use it. We are looking forward to a new update thanks for sharing
Another good video
You guys are dynamos. Building is tough enough without having to film it!
What made you choose to build a bathhouse instead of adding a room onto the cabin? No criticism, just curious.
See my video on this topic ua-cam.com/video/f3xNyRyrL98/v-deo.html
Taxes for me. Or unable to be taxed
Ms. Yam, FYI; there are paint primers that have a vapor barrier property which may be a good idea for this project.
We compost also. Do you prefer the peat moss over the pine or dust? Do you do humanure or bury the buckets?
Great video. Thx. My cabin in WNY has no water electric or plumbing. But it has an outhouse. The cabin is way to small to have a shower indoors so my thought is to do exactly what you're doing there. What type of heating will you have? My plan is to live in it year round.

Question on the peat moss toilet system. How does that work and what does the peat moss do? is there another video?
Thumb up
I was wondering where your pump set up was / is and where you turn it on. I did not see any switches near your shower stall or a faucet handle etc ?????? I know you Canadians are tuff but what would you say the water temp was coming out of the shower head ?? Thx Rick
Any plans to add a sink or heating? Looks like a great space.
how much did this cost to build?
Will you have a heat source in the cabin for the winter?
Ok I feel like you could of had a tub in there an a toilet meaning a DIY toilet on the other side cause I plan on doing something like this if I have a tiny house thts small where u do I have room for my bathroom. But if I'm wrong let me know but over all looks nice.
You kids are talented!! Cool video!( I even beat the #2 thumbsdowner?)
Have you done an updated video to your shower house yet?
Great video Jen. Are you using a 12VDC system or a 12VDC/ 110VAC. WAYFAIR has a propane hot water heater for $180. Thanks
What is the name of the bird singing in Your intro?
Good job on the bath house. Looking fantastic. Do you use only solar or do use wired in elec also? I like the floor color choice. Way to go. 😺💞
Is that your husband we sometimes see in videos? Also what do you do for a living? Something in biology or forestery? Also what's with the gloves hung up above the door? 😊
I noticed the glove, too. Was wondering if it was a tradition or if there was a meaning...?
Can you give more detail about your composting toilet set up, seems like you are trying to keep from grossing ppl out, but I am super interested!
It is better to separate the pee from other better for smell and composting.
what are the dimensions of the shower house? sorry if I missed this in the video!
🤙🏼
Do you live full time all year? We do and love it. Are you separating your pee from the other? As we did , we learned it makes a really big difference in smell.
We have been living off grid full time for 10 years now. We dug a well couples years back and have a hot water on demand. Wouldn't live any other way. We live old school much as possible.😊
Also for your pee paper (toilet paper) should be separate as it will to much for the composting.
Are you getting younger? Tell us your secrets.
God loves everyone so much He came to die and rise so that if we choose to accept Jesus as our Lord an Savior repenting of our sins we may be gifted eternal salvation through Jesus's perfect sacrifice on the cross for us
Are you using peat moss for your toilet? I sure hope that it's not the unsustainable kind. Peat moss is incredibly unsustainable ecologically.
