Garen, you have one hella-of-a wife! If she doesn't kill you with her love, she will be there forever behind her man! God bless and keep your family safe and happy!

I know it sounds funny, but a outhouse door opens in. You have to close the door to use the pooper. But in the hot of the summer you hold the door open to get the breeze. If someone is coming you can close the door fast. I know to much as you can see. I was 6 years old before the house we lived in had indoor plumbing.

"The deeper it is the longer it last" this statement is key. We in Trinidad use 2 oil barrels one on the other. The bottoms are cut out and water soaks away. 2 barrels equals 8 feet so it will last very long and u can build the top extra nice and beautiful

I like that idea, we are building one.

Need to keep a bucket of lime to sprinkle in the hole, helps keep bugs and damn flies down. Lived lots of places with an outhouse as a child and growing up, always sprinkle lime in it.

That's a nice outhouse but it won't be complete until you find an old Sears and Roebuck catalog to hang on a nail. Something to read and a Charmin back up!. Great work kids.

One of the prettiest outhouses I've ever seen..lol. we had one when I was growing up. Great job.

I have "read" many a "Sears and Roebuck" catalog, in an outhouse.

Beautiful dog !!

I remember your first video on your honeymoon. Love it then, love all new again. God bless y'all.

At 9 yrs old I lived in a house with no indoor plumbing at all. The happiest day of my childhood was when I flushed our toilet the first time. No more carrying an indoor pot to empty and wash daily.

looks good. My variation is a rear door i put a plastic tote in there and a scoop of mulch to start. Mulch is added after use. I then pull out the tote and dump into another larger bin with wheels and that gets dumped in a hole before long it is soil. Yes more steps I get that.

Nice job. If you put a tube liner in the hole with the bottom of it below the vent exit you can create a thermal syphon with fresh air entering the seat hole and you will rarely have smells. I take it the vent pipe is at seat level so a 6-12 inch tube liner would be fine.

I'm surprised nature head doesn't sponsor u to do a comparison video between them and your outhouse. You could keep the nature head inside. That would be much warmer in the winter. That said... Our family thanks you for filming this. We learned so much !!!

Camping with scouts in the winter I learned to carry a small self-igniting butane torch and just warm up the seat right before using it. Good luck

Great video thanks for sharing, i always look forward to seeing my little homestead posted a video. Garren is so handy, he has they mind of an engineer, thanks for sharing and god bless love ya Nancy

You are going to get water or snow blowing in from those openings around the roof line. Get a piece of aluminum roofing and size it so it overhangs at least 6 to 12 inches wider all around the roof. DONE

just for fun , add a flush handle on the back wall

Wow... you make it look so easy! (wink) The eight minute outhouse....That's the way to do it. Liking the lawn chair toilet. Keep giving me ideas. Yeah... best way of keeping the toilet 🚽 warm is.... bringing it out .....on demand. Nice job.

Would have been easier to have a composting toilet right next to the house, but nice job building the outhouse.

I haven't used one of those in a long time. Nice job. And you could run electric line to it and have a switch in the house, to turn on a light and a small electric heater so by the time you walk out to it the seat is nice and warm. You could even light the path from the same wire.

Awesome!

How does the door open once you are inside with that type of outside latch

Who knew I needed to know this. 🤠

Dude?! When are y’all going back to the cabin????

The use of lye will help keep the smell down as well as eat away at the poo making the outhouse last longer. And moth balls will keep most of the bugs and spiders away.

Add plastic to areas urine may hit to keep the smell down and reduce wood rot.

I didn't read all the comments, and maybe someone else has mentioned this, but here goes anyway. I know one family, way up north ( Canada/Alaska) used a piece of Styrofoam, cut to fit the seat shape, to make it much warmer to sit on in winter. Just sayin'. God bless.

She has not been around the family too long. She needs to lighten up! Where is the fun? She does work with him, though. Is there a light inside the outhouse? Haha.

I don't know why, but while watching the video the song "Outhouse" by Axel The Sot came to mind

Do bees and hornets nest on ceilings or smell drive them away?

What happens to the waste? Thanks

Did the outhouse get anchored down?

I like to know why the inside is red? If one is inside with a candlelight wouldn't that red be more darken than...like white? And how does the summer sun treat red color from the inside...does it make it cooler? Curious...they say you won't find a new black car for sale in Arizona because it retains heat so thinking this color to the outhouse applies as well?

would you tell us why you decided on an outhouse instead of a composting system? One smells horrible, especially in the summer, then freezes you in the winter, while the other doesn't smell at all and can have a version inside for nighttime...???

Never seen one with a wood box inside the hole. Won't it just get saturated and really stink holding the smell in the wood?

1981pjt there is. When you go in the dark you want enough light to see where you sit isn't on a spider. And not so much others can look in. Also. My uncle told me that there was a moon to remind folks to pull up their britches before standing up or they would "moon" anyone trying to see if anyone was in there.

Alternatively you could have cut a heart instead of the crescent moon.

6ft to 8ft hole

You need a lite $ stores have some
