ALONE & OFF-GRID BUILDING a LOG CABIN 

Thanks for the kind words 🌸 do you remember what the book was called? I’d love to give it a read

My eyes did see and read your comment And said this is special send to the brain. My brain having read said this is spiritual send it to the heart. My heart then read and almost 💔.

@@theoriginhomestead it was called "S'pose I die" I think. Miserable title, but I guess life must have been a struggle for the lady. I'll try to find it, and if I still have it, I'll send it to you.

Thanks so much🌻💖

Great advice we will definitely be doing that! Thanks for watching 🤗

Thank you so very much for the donation, also thanks for your kind words. we so much appreciate it. 🌹

Thanks victor! 🌸🤗

Thanks! It’s gonna be such a nice feeling finally using the shower ahha. We have a separator for the urine from our toilet in the van build, i’m thinking of installing it as a way of utilising the urine as a source of nitrogen and like you say using it as a fertiliser 🤗 thanks for the tips

Hi Antonio, thanks for the tip and for the support 🌻

@@theoriginhomestead I second what António said above long time ago when i was young I almost died inside a cabin / bathroom built outside of the house in the patio only difference it was a cabin made of brick and cement- completely sealed without any air circulation with a gas boiler inside after a 10 minutes bath when I open the door I felt to the ground with a feeling of complete lack of strength and as if i was drunk....I stayed lying in the ground for a few minutes until I catch my breath again and my head started to function again....I was very lucky to come outside alive.... a few more minutes inside breathing carbon monoxide and I had gone.....that boiler needs a straight chimney until it goes off the roof and when you are taking a shower there must be air circulation...it's your life that's at stake.....

I agree. The boiler needs to be vented to the outside. Otherwise, you are emitting all of the combustion fumes, which will probably have Carbon Monoxide, into the outhouse. Take the vent pipe either out through the wall or the roof. And, as was stated, since there will be combustion, leave a window open a little for circulating air. Do these and you should be fine.

Thanks for the suggestion 🌸

Thanks! Dan actually realised he’d done it the wrong way later and changed it but didn’t film it. Very astute of you to notice🤗 he’s sealed it all up as well so no water can get in

Thanks very much 🤗

great idea ✨

Little house on the prairie vibes is what we’re going for 🤗 Thanks so much

Very astute! Aha, they’re only a temporary measure 😆

Thanks so much Carley, Dan is self taught 😊 A q&a is a good idea we may do in the future ✨

Thanks Martin! Have you turned on notifications? 🌻

@@theoriginhomestead yes they've been on for about your third video when I started to follow you. I've switched the notifications off and back on see if it helps. I've had this problem with RU-vid a few times now and the switch off/on seems to work for it it may be the number of channels that I'm subbed to lol.🤣😂🤣

Thanks Ali 🤗

Thanks for your support 🤗🌸

@@theoriginhomestead youre welcome

Thanks Lenny! 😀

Thanks Billie 🌿🌸

Thanks for watching! We have the camplux in our van also and put the flu outside but since we have 2 windows in the outhouse for lots of ventilation we didn't bother 🤗

THE BURNT GAS FROM SHOWERS, FIREPLACES ETC IS CALLED CARBON MONOXIDE CO AND 1 DANGEROUS GAZ THAT LEADS TO DEATH! FOR ME THE BEST! A PERSON SLEEPS BEFORE DIE!

@@theoriginhomestead Maybe think again on that ... carbon monoxide is not something you should take a chance on for the sake of a flue extension .

Thanks Stephen, we’re both really proud of the progress

Thanks Justin! 🌿

Thanks so much 🫶🏼🌸

Thanks for the tip 🌸✨

Thanks Neil 🤗

Thanks! Winters in Portugal are very mild, some mornings there is a little frost but it goes as soon as the sun comes up. There’s little risk of the IBC freezing

:)

Thanks Anthony, Dan self taught a lot through trial and error and learning along the way 😀

Thanks for watching and concern :)

Thanks for concern

💖💖💖🌸🌸✨✨✨

That's an interesting idea Mary, i've never heard of anyone doing that before. We use natural fluoride free toothpaste too so no nasties are going to be going into the land, thank you for the kind offer, and your support it means a lot to us both 💖take care

Ah good choice then in tooth paste. Let me know though if you do want an eco care package. My offer is a genuine one. Xx

We had bought it online before we came to Portugal, at the moment the vans parked right outside the outhouse 🌸

😀

Thanks James

Hey thanks for watching and your concern, our property is registered as urban and has a habitation licence.

We brought all our tools over from the UK, we’ve been charging them off our van inverter and running some off our generator but we brought these over from the UK also

@@theoriginhomestead Have you tried to charge anything on Portuguese electrics and how well did it work?

Hi Kiran, if you go to our channel we have a playlist with all the videos in order

Not plastic. Thanks for watching

@@theoriginhomestead Yay!

@@theoriginhomestead If you have time would you tell us what it is? We aren't wealthy but always looking for environmentally good ways to repair and build with.

🌸✨🫶🏼🍇

We forgot to mention, it runs off from underneath the shower. We’re going to put a charcoal filtration system as well as filtering plants

Hi Heather, we don’t at the moment but we do have a PayPal donation link which is in the description 🌙 thanks for your support 🌸🫶🏼

Nice we’ll check out the channel 🌸
