YES, you are indeed extraordinaire artists! Actually made me think of the enclosure for our new outdoor shower - I bet this could somehow translate. I love - love the colors and crystals from the lamps and the overall ingenuity. Who knew an outhouse could be inspirational?!:) Great video and a fine job too.

Out of all the outhouse videos I've been watching, many many! This is my favorite by far. Best walls and prettiest ones of all. I will be artistic when I build ours. Thanks for the inspiring video!

Never thought I’d call an outhouse beautiful, but it fits!

That is crazy awesome! Officially on my bucket list before I die:D

Absolutely brilliant. Love the door handle and mirrors!

This is the most fancy outhouse i have ever seen!

Wow! This is awesome. A beautiful job well done. Love the storage concepts, the door knobs and ornaments. Beautiful work.

I want one! I have never built anything and I'm not handy. But I at least want to make a section of bottle wall to put in a patio or something! Thanks for the great video and dream.

You would really enjoy watching this kind of artwork being installed into an Earthship ! You are all wonderful ! Earthship Biotecture does this ! Liked the way you simplified cutting the bottle . No machine needed . Awesome shack !

+spaceglobes Grace and Peace to you as well. Let us not forget Hemp-crete in our building plans ! I have only recently begun to enjoy the truly healthy Hemp-hearts for everything from salads to ice cream ...etc . Amazing what we have been given , and how it has been denied to us by governments just so cotton and oil could dominate the market . How free are we , really ?

Awesome ! I have bottles in the walls in every room in my house ! I like your work ! Wulfy

Excelente 👌 muy bonita técnica!!! Así voy hacer esos detalles en mi casa, estoy ya recolectando botellas de colores. Gracias muchachos. Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪 ❤

thanks, I was very fortunate to have someone to commission me on such a unique project.

I can't wait to try this Very well done Thankyou so much

Thank you for taking the time to show the actual process, awesome job, I am looking at outhouse designs in a totally cool spectrum way!!!

Wonderful idea... Turned out beautiful! Really creative to include lidded bottles too. THANK YOU!

That was an amazing project! I'm planning on living off the grid and will need an outhouse. This video makes it easier for me to tackle my own project. I'll post the video when I'm done. Thank you guys!

very pretty one-holer. I did like the idea of putting a big jug with a lid in the mix for something (maybe air freshener)

Started my bottle wall yesterday. ( In our kitchen ) I had a union carpenter do up the in between walls ( it's load bearing) so the frames were properly made.

Amazing work.

Beautiful. Love the "lidded" jars idea. Great for toiletries or candles.

Awesome place to park your butt and spend time reading and cogitating - what a relief!

Your video is so amazing and inspirational :) I love how you made bottles 1/2 colors to brighten up the light coming threw. I am working on tiny house plans and I really to use this recycled bottle idea for my high up windows :) Instead of the cement mixture I'm planing on making wood framed boxed with bottle holes cut out of them and that lose fitting attic insulation :)

Fantastic project and video! Thank you so much for sharing! We are building a straw bale hut in which I am doing some glass bottle clerestory windows and this helped me so much. Thanks! Gianaclis at Pholia Farm Creamery, Oregon

Love it. I think the window idea is great form of solid waste management idea. I am thinking about a window making with huge pickle jars. Or maybe one large pickle jar and whole wine bottles. Cement the wine bottles in around the pickle jar. Colored glass nearest the pickle jar and white on the outside. I think this could be great for storing T.P. candles. Really great video. Thanks

So cool!!!!!

That is a fabulous room to 'go' in! I love how you've combined the bottoms of bottles this way, which will make it easier to keep them clean as well as keep things like spiders from making homes in them. I get bad reactions to spider bites, so I tend to be careful catching them and tossing them outside in a live and let live way. I've often thought of combining bottles in this way, and wonder how well they insulate, although with that vent I saw, it may be difficult to gage that in your project?

AMAZING!!!!!

On the farm we had three outhouses. Nothing fancy. Each had the sit-down-deck fastened with hinges at the back. This way an occupant could check the underside for spiders and wasps (for obvious reasons, LOL).

I would be proud to read a magazine in your latrine. I would probably spend more time than is acceptable in there. Well done!

Great job! I´m about to build a wall just like that with glass cylinders or blocks, I just hope it turns out as good as yours. What kind of mortar did you use? How did you mixed it to have that consistency? looks like play-doh.

Fantastic,looks really effective..one question though,do you get any condensation in the bottles considering they are sealed,thanks

Superb

Great job! I would like to know how, what kind of morder did you use and how did you mixed it to have that consistency too! Please give me an answer? Thanks for sharing!

It depends on how thick (long) the bottles are, and how large the bottle wall is going to be. I would get some advise from a carpenter type person to be sure it is structurally sound and safe. I hope you will show me what it looks like when your finished ! :)

Am planning to have them build 5 sections of frames.The center one will have white/clear bottles,the two sections on the right will be amber then cobalt blue.The two sections to the left of the middle(white/clear) will be bright green bottles & brown. A few other odd colors (if I can find any) will be interspersed.

nice!

Awesome!! I'm making a bottle wall between my eating area & back room.Any suggestions as to how to rebuild the drywall wall (the framing-would it be better to try 2 x 6 or is 2 X 4 sufficient?) I think the latter might have to do with the way the frame of the walls are.

hope to see it when its done :D

Awesome job! Where did you purchase the toilet seat?

What kind of cement are you using? How long do you have before it sets up? I want to build a small addition to the back of our house. Those narrow wall strips would be outstanding.

good luck !

Cool

Love it... What is the mix of your motar? Only cement as glue? Does it crack ? The other u tuber said not to use beer bottle. As it's wall is too thin. Will crack. He use special mix for mortar to prevent temperature change crack.

Our son has an outhouse at his off the grid cottage. Where and how does the bodily output go? HIs outhouse is over a large dug hole in the ground.

Hi, great video... I am about to try this at home and have a few question: are you using regular cement?And cement mixture..Did you use any special sand, maybe beach sand?Thanks and happy crafting.

tejka199, Hi, I used pre-mixed cement (just add water); following the instructions on the bag. You will need to allow some time for the cement to harden some, so the bottom wont get pushed down and smoshed out. There are a bunch of videos on UTUBE about bottle walls. If you have more questions please let me know. Good luck and let me know how it comes out. :)

:) You can cut colored glass circles the diameter of the bottles and sandwich it in between them. That is how I got the red ones. :D

What keeps the bottles from breaking with expansion hot to cold weather. Whats the trick to that.....

Have the bottles broke at all due to contraction and expansion of the mortar?

indeed, but as an alternate method this method was ok and easy enough. On a bigger job I would defenetely would like a tile saw, thank you for your comments :D

Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous;I'm a photographer, so how you considered light was fascinating to me. I've been looking for a tutorial like yours, so thank you; (I'm making an outdoor shower.)

I have had a bottle wall design brewing in my mind for a long time and have studied the process from several angles. Here's my question. Is there a good reason (other than aethestics) to use bottle blocks vs the whole bottle? Just curious. Oh, and this little outhouse is TERRIFIC! Keep on keepin' on!!! The world needs you!

+Kim Anne making the bottle bricks allows more light in through the bottle. if you left them whole you would receive very little if any light through unless you left a large portion of the bottle neck sticking out until the body widened to it's fullest diameter. Me being me, I would worry to death they might break in hail storms or in extremes of temp causing cracks and or breaks, and cut someone if they weren't paying attention. But, breakage could also lead to wall failure. I have seen the whole bottle used but they were alternated neck to bottom and then motored over completely. They were just used as purely bricks not for lighting/color. I am going to be building using mostly plastic bottles filled with dirt for my foundation, the mortar and building material I will mostly be using will be cob. I will be building in Oklahoma, spring of 2016 if anyone wants to come help, learn, and/or donate items. Hope I was helpful. All my loves to you!!!!

There is a way to build using the whole bottle, but you have to use 10 inch flashing taped around the necks of the bottles (tape the bottles together at the neck, then add flashing, and tape it down using aluminum tape) but that results in a 16 inch long bottle brick, so unless you want 16 inch thick walls for insulation purposes, it's a little cumbersome. That's why most people choose to cut the bottles.

What sort of concrete do you use

was your wood frame made of pressure treated wood? I was told it would rot if you use regular 2x4's. I am going to use hardy board between the cement and my wood frame!

I think that usually the bottle walls are made with Cobb. I’ve been considering making one with cement for a raised bed garden, am I right in assuming that you did use cement as opposed to Cobb?
