Luxury Outhouse Upgrade? | Weekly Peek Ep321

[@gailasgreatdanesandmanes1042]

Your family brings me so much joy! Love a good back wood hand washing station! And those babies... 🤩... love Azealia pounding sand!😅😂🤗

[@mortshare7037]

We’ve been using a simpler solution for electrical cords: reusable shopping bags. Coil the cords, put one cord per bag, hang the bags on a piece of plywood mounted on the wall with as many nails as needed to hang the all bags.

[@ajb7530]

The washing station with the metal pipe, little shelf and stick towel hook is so creative. Great job.

[@nikechenevert]

I just think you guys are awesome. I love how you love each other so much and so well. Ellie, Jared and Skylar scored! Your family is just everything! I sooo love watching you guys. G&S,wonderful job.

[@julieannenyeart9326]

Your videos brighten my days. Thank you for letting us be a part of your family every week. I really appreciate you all.

[@WendyDahling3]

Azalea and her sister are adorable! You can see how loved they are. When Azalea put her arm around her fathers neck and when she wanted to be picked by mom for a hug, it was cuteness overload!

[@shariyoung4064]

Love the sand playing song. Oh playmate, come out and play with me, and bring your dollies three. Climb up my apple tree, holler down my rain barrel and we’ll be jolly friends for ever more. My mom use to sing it to us. Pretty good memory as I’m 75 yrs old.

[@marcusjay8103]

Oh my! That campfire and the whole environment and atmosphere looked absolutely amazing! The most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time.

[@msfatts7162]

Great teamwork mom great design love you guys

[@pearlmoore7969]

Wow How Ingenious is this hand washing Station! Love the video and seeing you all work and Have fun together! Great Job washing your hands Azalea and smashing sand Castles!

[@JoanOfArgghh]

"Branch manager." This was such a great episode! All of it. Family, dogs, grandkids, project... just life.

[@cryttersytter]

You can always tell who's filming, by what dog is fallowing, lol 😂. Great show, thank you again!!!

[@JustFun-ze5pk]

It’s so cool to see you all working on projects together WHILE on a family vacation! AND, you didn’t even need the earth bags to THRIVE!

[@StoneKathryn]

Nice hand washing station at the outhouse. I enjoyed watching your design process. It all looks so quaint and cute. Thanks for this guys. Love the sign too!

[@mark_preudhomme]

As I watch this video I can imagine how special and rewarding this is for all involved but especially for Gary and Shelly who can now kind of sit back and relax seeing the marvelous young men and women their kids have grown up to be. To see Garen and Ellie now well on the path of parenthood, to see Bree and Jared starting their life together, to see Shae and Skyler planning and working towards their marriage. There's still Bryson to keep them from the empty nest syndrome but he's such a fine and intelligent young man I wouldn't be surprised if some lovely young lady comes along and sweeps him off his feet in the not too distant future. It's just so amazing seeing how much everyone has grown and matured over the past several years I've been watching (since just before the MusArt Studio). I can only conclude that Gary and Shelly are filled with great pride and satisfaction with how all their children have turned out.

[@Smilebefine]

I could not said that better. What a lovely family

[@TheTammyable]

We’re proud for them!!!

[@micheleapps7050]

oh my gosh you guys make my heart happy happy happy!!! beautiful family! thank you :)

[@sheliaberry877]

I thoroughly enjoyed spending time (by video) with your precious, fun, creative sweet family! Thanks so much. God bless

[@jessegoldstein4217]

I’m nearto weeping in joy for you all Oh lord.. the babies So sweet!

[@TheTammyable]

The babies is right!! So loved and blessed.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

The out house door needs a star along with the moon cut into it. Originally the star was for men's and the moon for women's. Both meant for all. It also Provided a way to say occupied at night. As the lantern light would show through. Just a little trivia. In Europe outhouses had a heart in place of the moon for women's.

[@earthwizz]

The problem of moving from desert to forest, it's difficult to see the wood for the trees. You could catch water from the outhouse roof very simply and it would be completely automated. A bit of guttering and a downpipe that extends below the top of the bucket with a screw cap on the end as a first flush system. A T junction level with the top of the bucket feeds the bucket. When the rain starts the roof is washed and the first bit goes to the bottom of the downpipe, when it fills to the T junction clean water goes into the bucket. Leave the end cap a little loose so it just seeps a bit and between rains the first flush will drain leaving it set up for the next rain.

[@CosmicGorilla]

You could run a pipe from the roof into the bucket to naturally refill it when it rains. You could add an overflow and gravel pit to the bucket as well. Love your creativity and the way you all work together. Keep the live flowing chaps.

[@MEASURETWICE]

so nice to see you all working together. especially love how much the new members of the family fit in!

[@jessicawalls2685]

When we go camping, we recycle the laundry soap gallon jugs and fill with water and a bar of natural soap in a nylon soak tied to the water jug push the button to wash and rinse

[@lisajackson4951]

great idea...and something I can afford as well! Thanks

[@carlaloganmercer6855]

It looks s great seeing you all together at the cabin. I am sure each time anyone visits idea for making it better will come. The fire at night and bubbles was a great idea also.

[@roseyrose9467]

That sign on the outhouse is such a great idea. I like that hand washing station too. You have no idea how much fun I have watching you all. God Bless

[@vivianwilliams2216]

The outhouse and hand washing station 💧 is so cute! 😊👍💕💕💕

[@mika72.-Bois]

In Australia a toilet is often called a "dunny"! 😄

[@vivianwilliams2216]

@@mika72.-Bois wow ! That's something new to know , thanks for sharing 👍

[@PippiLong1]

Ha ha I wrap my cords the same way. That was funny!! Family get togethers like this is so wonderful. Even having the dogs join in for de-barking (pun intended). Luna was doing quality control on the sticks. The video was so well done ... I felt I was involved as well. I like projects like this. Well done.

[@emmyholmes780]

Shelly's "oh" was the best! I absolutely lol-ed at that one! 💜💜

[@manuelabonig4946]

Especially in these difficult times with Corona and all the other problems in the world, it is nice that there is still a functioning family that sticks together. I am happy about every new video and it is so nice to see how the children grow up with love and in nature with animals. There is nothing better.So again heartly regards from Germany and stay healthy and happy.

[@lisajackson4951]

I haven't been camping for decades...thanks for taking me with you :)

[@joanrichards235]

You guys are so creative! And I wrapped all of my cords the same way 😀

[@imari2305]

Great idea for a hand washing station outside the outhouse. Nice seeing the whole family get together at the cabin. I'm excited to see the next project coming up.

[@cbshomebizplane]

Nice to see you all up there camping together and having fun. God bless you all.

[@Robzartzstillaround]

So nice to see the a whole lot of the family together, and those Grand babies are just beautiful. You always manage to out a smile on my face and love in my heart so thank you from Australia. lol... my OCD is telling me you need a couple more curtain rings on those great curtains....{sorry} lol

[@janpetersen750]

So cool!!! I love the hand washing station!

[@rojerww]

The shelf that holds the supply water - well - sharp corners at about head height for the little one. Maybe consider rounding the outside-bottoms.

[@TripleG69]

Love the hand washing station! A bit of silicone will prevent all leaks. Love the campfire gathering. Miss being able to share such memorable times with my loved ones. Can't wait to see what's next. Enjoy and stay safe. Big hugs!

[@marieharrison150]

What a pleasure to see you all relaxing and enjoying

[@emmyholmes780]

What a fun little get away! The upgrade to the outhouse is genius and genuinely MLH chic. The family's creativity never ceases to amaze me, and Bryson with his homemade bubble makers out of "trash". Recycling at its finest! Curious, why have you guys not made a MLH design with the horses? I think it'd be super cute!! Best wishes!

[@rebeccamiller3248]

I roll my cords same way your guys do. Comes from having construction workers n electricians in the family. Loved seeing the family together enjoying the peace of the outdoors. Cannot wait to see G & E latest work on the cabin. Thank you for letting us join your family yet again on a family adventure.

[@loriemerida1137]

Oh the logistics of loading the camper!! We “primitive” camped (with a generator) 2 weeks ago and I’m STILL not done “unloading”🤣 Oh how I love the hand washing station on the outhouse. Azalea is a very good quality assurance person. She left no stone unturned 💕

[@PersonOfNoInterests]

My family has a inherited extension cord storage method too. We basically crochet a long chain out of it. I used to think my father was just clever/weird for coming up with it, but then one day my aunt freaked out when she saw me doing it. Apparently my grandpa used to make them all wind up their extension cords the same way.

[@rachealsmith5138]

Man that all looks like so much fun! The campfire was great, and you could see Azelea kind of yawning in the background. Such a wonderful thing for the whole family to get together. Take care and blessings!

[@lynnbowser6146]

Bullet barely fit in the dog bed so funny the dogs are adorable

[@EachpieceSounique]

Love, love, love seeing the family together camping and working on projects. So enjoy seeing the little ones, Azalea will be learning so much, it's awesome. I was wondering if the sign for the Outhouse could have something painted on it that reflects at night ... Just to show with the beam of the torch whether it's occupied or not.

[@Gardendreamsforme]

You could drill a couple of small holes in the lid to alleviate a vacuum. I look forward to your videos. Every one of them bring me such joy. Thank you for that

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

But then bugs could get in along with dirt

[@jamessimms2343]

Maybe a pinhole 1/8 of an inch in the bucket just under where the lid sits.

[@tardismole]

Bullet doesn't want to be filmed. He is loyal only to his toys. :) I can't undo cables tied like that, either. I guess I prefer to sit and untagle the mess for an hour than untying it... however Jared did it. :D Cuteness factor of 5/5 for the additions.

[@kerlyn3582]

Such an awesome family - you guys are so rare in a world where there is so much discord. You all seem to get on really well and enjoy each others company by the looks of it, and all the extra members ie grandchildren and son and daughter in law just adds more joy to the vlogs ...

[@kimnelligan9820]

Your parents are so creative what a neat idea enjoy your vacation

[@shelbell9013]

great side eye from Bullet....

[@wishfulthinking3309]

I was so happy to see that the family was able to get together and upload a video. I've learned so much from everyone. When I talk to my husband about you guys, he says that I sound like I'm talking about family.

[@wishfulthinking3309]

Thank you for sharing with us, even on your semi family vacation.

[@Justme-j2d]

Well that campfire looks like such a precious experience for everyone. Much be wonderful to have all these videos of family times as well. The hand washing station - pure brilliance!

[@tanicurtis7766]

That is a great way for families to enjoy each other! Wish I was there -- with marshmallows!

[@Justme-j2d]

Yes. Wonderful to see little Azalea becoming sleepy and getting to nod off in her father’s arms. Safe. Warm. Laid back for all.

[@maggievedrenne7379]

Really cool. Another super great video. Love seeing y'all and sharing your time

[@JewelNicole]

I love how everyone in the family is so positive! Thank you so much for that!!❤ It definitely helps me end the night with good vibes.

[@deborrastrom8559]

Love the family Humor & common sense in tackling problems & solving them. The most Outside of the Box Family Ever!! Love ❤️ 😍 them. ( watching since 2018.)

[@katrinajoyce6658]

Was great to see the whole family up at the cabin, it’s truly beautiful there, what wonderful memories you all make and Azalea,Kinsley, and any other future grandchildren will grow up with great values and memories aswell #cabinpimptime lol 😂 luv 💖 from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@meganguthrie9796]

The dog chewing the towel branch was so cute. I like how y’all just laugh it off.

[@patriciakim440]

I like how everyone works together and sort of laughs off the mistakes and problems that arise.It is soo fun and relaxing just to watch. It makes me feel like I am part of you family. I just love you guys.

[@robinbriggs1517]

Family trips so so so so much fun!

[@luella2u152]

Oh Shelly, don't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes it's hard to wrap our minds around how a thing is done. Because I worked in a college tech department, I had to learn how to do my cords and cables like that. I actually got really good at it. BUT my parents tried to teach me to tie my shoelaces using a Zimmerman Knot. I was 35 and my son was 2 when I finally got it figured out. Let's just say it took me 30 years to learn that knot. It's actually very easy and won't come untied until you pull the end of the shoelace, so I really needed to learn how to do it. Very clever hand washing station. I love all the little details...even a privacy sign.

[@andie9691]

Awesome job on the out house and sink.

[@naomibrooks5848]

So fun to see you all at the cabin🥳 super excited to see the inside work you all are so very creative ☺️ love the way you just take everything up a notch and it turns out so awesome💯😃 sitting on the edge of my seat for Monday hope we get a sneak peek 😉 then Wednesday is on the horizon yay💜💜💜💜

[@diamondperidot]

What great memories! I hope one day to see many more grandchildren on these family outings.

[@MBMCincy63]

Impressed, love this family. Thanks for inviting us along to camp out! ⛺🏕️🤪 At the moment I was watching the towel hook being placed, I think it's a grand thing. However, if you have a spare jug/ or something water repellent that could cover the towel: it would be dry longer. 💡 Make another skinny shelf above the towel hook, then the vacant/ occupied could sit on the shelf.

[@Christine_A_M]

When it comes to winter, don't forget to insulate those pipes ;)

[@breakingburque2200]

I love the cabin, I’m hoping my family will get started on ours soon.

[@carrie4910]

Nice hand wash solution! Looks like y’all had a great time.

[@Spottychan]

Ollie's face always cracks me up. I love his goofy underbite.

[@mmalsbur9579]

If you put some Glycerin in your bubble mixture, they will be bigger and stronger so won’t break as easy. Just a little help from a newly retired grade school teacher. And love the camouflage baby ball cap WITH LACE TRIP! WOW!!! Should be sold in your shop, if it isn’t already.

[@gacattack1234]

A good Idea is to line the path to the outhouse with Mullien so you have a regular source of free toilet paper.

[@ivyrees991]

Jared is starting to fit right in to your family. Love spending time with you.

[@tirzahcollins8130]

During the rest of the show I had the song "A Hole In the Bucket" stuck in my head dear Liza. I'm so glad you fixed it dear Henry.

[@suzieq2958]

How lovely to see all your family fun and hard work AND wild penstemon and aster (I Think!) thank you, it's a joy! and I'm not even caught up yet!!! 💜

[@katehammond6900]

You all are just a great family keep up the good work x

[@vickismith2469]

Love the new wash station. But, come on! I was raised in the west and I know how hard the wind blows! How long will that towel remain on the hook? HAHAHA! A clothespin, or two, might come in handy. Also, I'm smiling at some of the comments about "catching rain water," and putting some sort of awning over the towel to keep it dry. Here in Tennessee we get more rain in a week than some areas in the west get in an entire year! Southerners cannot fathom the difference in the climate. Although I've lived in the south for over 15 years now, I still am amazed that I can put decor on my front porch and it just STAYS there and doesn't get blown away, and the amount of rain and humidity is truly mind-boggling. I love the simplicity and nod to the past of drying my sheets on the line, but it takes FOREVER in the humidity and you can FORGET leaving them overnight because they'll smell like mildew in the morning. It's a different world, for sure. The footage of the family around the campfire is so soothing and relaxing.

[@catreader9733]

UPDATE: Using a ball (I originally said gate valve, in error) valve at the wash station would allow a fast change from zero- to full-flow, saving water and making it easier to operate with mucky hands. Admittedly, it wouldn't be as picturesque. Maybe Bryson would want to cast a custom replacement handle, or you could find an unusual one somewhere.

[@marywalker2896]

Those babies are gonna be privileged to grow up happy and healthy in a loving beautiful family..godbless..

[@thethrifteddragon8157]

I soooo love hanging out with friends and family around the fire. Mostly great memories. Except one. We had a weekend camping gathering with friends and the day after we got home from it, our son had a horrible asthmatic attack and almost ended up in the hospital. He was in the ER for about 15 hours. Since then, obviously we are leary of having him anywhere near a fire. And it's especially hard where we live in Florida where there are controlled burns every so often. So, enjoy your time around the fire for us!!! God bless

[@dwaynekendall]

Looks like such a good time. And you brought all the critters. Cool

[@ravenpage6630]

If you guys are loving the chalk markers, a good on the suggestion would be. the glass markers! You can decorate the rv windows in your awesome art instead of trying to tack up/ down decorations and still make it feel festive and cozy :) I use mine for everything, inculding a picture frame daily meal planner. Just printed one out popped it in a frame and you just write over the glass. Also easy for kids can add magnetic backing and food magnetics until at reading/writing stage hope the tips help :) you guys are great.

[@sky02148]

I just came back from a family vacation inspired by y'all, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy

[@richardwhytsell7974]

Just love the idea's everyone comes up with. great vid. Sending blessings to all from Nebraska.

[@nekkidnora]

God, my family lives in the city and doesn't own a car, so camping is not a possibility for us, but that campire, with all of your family gathered around, and the bubbles and the dogs... makes me yearn to be able to do that.

[@donwilliams3253]

I did it again,, I apologize for my ineptitude figure mobile devices and trying to get my point across. Love your" channel, vids, youtube vids,, find them very inspirational, family oriented, and wholesome. Continue creating this content.. luvs and prayers and wishing best 4 u all!

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

You should plant some nice flowers to absorb the water that comes out of the sink. Something the grows easily. Then you would be really making that water work for you. Also you could use a rainwater catch basin to provide water. Next will there be a solar outdoor shower too?

[@jackiesaylor2487]

It reminds me of when we were girl scouts and we had to get a milk jug, poke a hole near the bottom and put a stick in it to keep it from dripping water out, and then used a stocking and put a bar of soap in it, and tied it to the handle. Then they just put a string through the hole of the paper towel roll and hung it nearby.

[@barbaradenooijer8412]

I wrap my cords the same way and never find the right way to un-wrap them.... This was a great video again, so much love in this family! Love you guys! Greetings from the South Caribbean.

[@sheilatodd7280]

All of you are so creative and resourceful!❤️

[@sarahjones1649]

I use to wrap cords like that until someone suggested I "crochet" them, and now I "crochet" the longer cords. I fold them in half and begin crocheting from the middle to the plug ends. Then when I need them I can un-crochet them to the length I need free.

[@fondoftheduh]

That outhouse is so cute! Maybe if you turn the lid upside down, make a hole and a screen filter to funnel water in and release air... Options. You have many. The outhouse path, the outhouse would be so cute with solar lights, says a person who stubbed a toe far too many times on an outhouse path Also!!!! Dad!!!! I spent thousands in garages for my favorite Chevy station wagon. Had my dad been alive then I suddenly, I mean my mouth fell open!! My dad would have told me vapor lock! I forgot that possibility and ended up selling cheap to someone " willing" to deal with the problem garages charged me to fix three or four times but down the road, it quit. Finally! I am reminded what my dad tried to teach me. I feel both dumb and grateful for you.

[@christiancelticwarrior1222]

I like the way the dogs are relaxing while watching their humans work 😂

[@alancall5113]

Family time and campfires👍🏻👍🏻🔥

[@VampDaVegan]

Well done again guys !! 🤗 u could add to the end like shower head type thing so it sprinkles out using less water

[@fee1959]

Nice back at the Cabin, need more videos on its progress.

[@jamessimms2343]

That was brilliant what you all did to the outhouse. I would just worry about someone or something knocking the faucet off the wall in the middle of the night. Maybe some reflective tape could be helpful. Also maybe consider changing the color of either the vacant or occupied paint so it's more noticeable for those who may be slightly visually impaired.

[@designdoctor247]

2:17 wow beautiful footage!!!

[@designdoctor247]

27:39 yes!!! An hour of work for a few seconds of footage ...but the footage is...spectacular!!!
