No more digging holes, we built an outhouse | Building Everstoke

Показать описание

Building an outhouse is a pretty huge piece of the puzzle for making the land a bit more habitable. Hopefully we can dig a hole deep enough to last us a good long time.

Hey Brian, a trick we used in the Marines when we were in Afghanistan for urination facilities, 4" PVC pip at a 45 degree angle set in the groung about 3', kept the smell away usually and would filter into the ground. Just a friendly tip sir.

Hi Brian, use Lime after a number 2. I have built several out houses in different regions, and we have a bucket (with lid) of lime and a scooper. Only takes a single scoop over the top of the feces and off you go. It helps it breakdown quickly, so a hole as deep as the one you dug will last a couple years at least.

Many great stories were started with “if you’ve never pooped in the woods…”. 😂

Glad to see your family staying fully involved! You're living the dream and that's awesome.

The Grumper has been a trooper. I've put that thing through some serious situations.

From experiance: ventilation is your friend. And not just the top! Having air flow at the bottom and top of the out house will make a huge impact on odor.

Hi Brian, Kris M. from Ct, We grew up with an old functioning outhouse ! In side we had a bag of Lime, the top open with a plastic cup inside . After you deposit your contribution into mother earth sprinkle a little lime on top. This should help keep the unpleasant aroma to a minimum. Looking forward to watching you build your little slice of the pie ! Good luck

Pretty sure that hole is not neartly deep and big enough. If i remember correctly, at least 15 feet are recommended. And that is with changing the location after a time.

Make a sign that says "Pee on a Tree, Poo in the Loo"... 😂👍

You had me at hello! 🤣 you can add water to the hole to loosen the soil to help dig. Great video

We live in a small 1 toilet farm house, no way to easily add another toilet, so we've been looking into outhouse construction, thanks for the vid!

Cordless post-hole auger... about $200-$300 bucks from Home Despot or Lowes. You could make that 6ft hole and it would be worth the investment for the future if you need to place posts anywhere else in your builds.
