Building an Outhouse with Cedar Logs at My Off Grid Wilderness Homestead

A bull moose and a tom turkey pay me a visit while I mill lumber from the trees in my forest and build an outhouse next to my new off grid log cabin, which I start building in the coming weeks.

Shawn is not just a builder ... he is also an artist. When he makes a cut to fit a log or board it always fits so tight it has to be bumped or hammered into place. That’s the type of precision I’d expect working with a full blown wood shop. But he’s doing it with hand tools in the dirt. That’s possible because of a lifetime of doing it. I’m impressed.

I would have never believed it, not in a million years how much joy I got out of a guy, Shawn James building an outhouse with nothing but hand tools only, simply amazing.

[@elderepyper]

Absolutely

[@2H80vids]

"Nothing but hand tools" is pushing it a wee bit, since the arrival of the A.T.V. and the mill. I think adding a few heavy bits of kit has been a great move for Shawn. Apart from simplifying some of the heavy work, it also speeds things up a wee bit and Shawn is less likely to hurt himself. Working alone, with heavy materials, was taking it's toll on him and using the power tools makes a whole lot of sense.👍 Having said that, I see the attraction of using nothing but hand tools, very satisfying to do and to watch. I wouldn't imagine he'll move to "all power tools" but it's good to see machinery doing some of the heavier stuff.😁

[@kevincerce5056]

@@2H80vids He had the mill well over a year now, he used it milling lumber for the cabin extension. Besides, we all know the insane cost of lumber at the big box stores, prices tripled. His mill already paid for itself and will continue to do so by building the new cabin.

Part of the pleasure of watching you do your projects is that everyone approaches things differently. With all the sawing you're going to be doing I'm amazed that you haven't knocked together a sawbuck or two and a couple of saw horses.

My favourite thing is watching you build stuff. Bravo again.

Never knew I'd watch a 50min long video about a toilet...

[@nancystill6447]

[@keeneterry1603]

And actually enjoy doing it!

And yet we did and wanted more

I wonder if he had to go to the bathroom while building it.

[@kforest2745]

Yeah gotta love the guy he defies the trap of typical lazy political bullshit

Beautiful job once again! You make it look so easy but anyone that has tried building anything knows what goes into something like this. Its always a pleasure to watch your craftmanship skills and appreciate the time involved. Thanks for sharing Shawn. The great photography is appreciated as well! Sheryl from Wisconsin 🙋‍♀️

I find it so calming to watch him build. I always feel like I'm right up North with him and Mother Nature! Somehow it makes me feel in touch with the universe!!! Thank you, as always it is a pleasure to watch your videos!

I immediately though he’s got to be an building engineer. He does quality work and those buildings will last the test of time. I love this channel!
