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.

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.

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

@jame880 2 месяца назад

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.

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.

@brurade 2 года назад

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 ☝️

@johncarmichael1411 2 года назад

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.

@j.l.emerson592 2 года назад

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)

@thedude4632 2 года назад

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.

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

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!

@NMIBUBBLE 2 года назад

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. :)

Company was always 😮 , didn’t work well during dear season . There still is a barrel full of memories of that place , wish I still owned it . Yours is first rate

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.
