Cutting that board to fit around the posts... that was a great fit! That’s going to be more sturdy than most bathrooms I’ve ever been in! Great work as usual!

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thank you

Good morning to the Outpost 👍👍!! Good job Richard, it’s looking good around there. You’re getting things done and getting lumber stockpiled and getting ready for the next big job. Thanks for sharing with us and taking us along with you.

Awesome work Richard, solo working is so rewarding!!!

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

That it is! Al, this is Jennifer. Figured I would give you an update on my finger. It is actually two of them. Not just the one. I was informed today that the ER doc read the xrays instead of waiting for radiology to. She missed the fracture in my index finger and didn’t realize they were both displaced fractures. Long story short, I have only had minimal healing. I am headed to ortho tomorrow morning at 8 to get the true verdict.

[@alluchterhand746]

Smoky Mountain Outpost Jennifer, Oh I remember you had both wrapped up originally, Well that stinks, hope for the best outcome. Come on your a nurse, and working with your Dad all you need was to wrap them up with electrical tape! Lol Many of times I have done, if my 84 yo mom RN new of all my remedies!!! 😂😂😂

I really like the look of the arched walkway! Gives me ideas for building a small bridge over a stream. Nice design! 👍

Yeah, but “old school” is cool and fun to use.

Thank you

[@tedbryer2512]

Man - I just love these videos! Coming from a carpenters background - it makes me smile to see a great craftsman at work. Ive picked up so many little hints along the way! Big hugs to you and Jennifer for doing a great job!! Catch you next time my friend!!

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thank you for all the support, Ted! -Jennifer

[@anitaglaab5458]

Ah, ok! My OCD problem fixed itself by being patient, watching and admiring. Nice job. ;) And yes, Papaw...nice catch with my "flush" comment last video. Cheers.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thanks for your support!

[@tipiandy694]

Yes I agree with many of the comments, have you thought about any heavy rain running of the half of the bridge onto the deck of the toilet area. Your doing a great job, love it... Namaste.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

I know the boards are going to shrink some and the rain will go through the cracks.

[@AnnetteZang]

Fantastic workmanship. This is going to be a great “bridge to indoor-outhouse” composting toilet. Great design and a lot of thought has gone into this.... looking forward to the next update. Stay safe and hugs

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thank you!

[@marianfrances4959]

I can't imagine how much all that lumber would cost at a lumber yard! Really enjoying all your prep and builds. Great job!!😉🇨🇦👍

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

It would cost a pretty penny for sure! Thanks for your continued support. -Jennifer

[@jameshaynie4570]

I noticed that you reversed your drill to back the auger out of the holes. So thought I would tell you how I do it. I reverse the drill just enough to disengage the screw tip and then go back to forward as I lift the auger out. It clears the chips out of the holes better. Darn you do nice work. Your place is looking fantastic.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thanks for that tidbit of knowledge! We always love to learn. Thanks again for following! -Jennifer

[@richardperry9095]

5" might be better on the arched walk anyway because it will lay flatter on the arch. Good video

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Absolutely

[@takeahikeforlife]

Would you hurry up and get that thing built! I gotta go, man!

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Working on it

[@dannyjackson5132]

Good morning SMO how big is the outdoor toilet going to be looks like about 5 foot by 10 foot plenty of room keep up the good work stay safe and God bless

[@VALYCOSTAS]

👀...👍.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thank you!

[@timothychristian9140]

You know, I was just thinking how that arched bridge is going to make it very difficult to stiff leg to the toilet during an emergency. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Lol

[@bucklaquey1157]

Turn the cup facing downward, instead of up, like a cup in the planks, they are exposed, they need to shed water, not allow water to be held .

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Some of them I left like they were because of the curve on the flip side. Using the complete flat side to conserve lumber for the cabin. As well, I can always replace if needed.

[@giddelgonzalez8744]

Love the videos and the explanations I’ve learned a lot. Can you tell me the name of the knife he’s using, did he buy it as a combo because I can’t find it on your website

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

It was made for me by my neighbor. He charges around 225 and I bought the sheath tailor made for fire steel. He has made a couple for subscribers. If interested just send us an email.

[@giddelgonzalez8744]

Looks awesome and yes will do in the future. Thank you for the reply and sir keep up the good fight, I can only hope to make it to your age, a year ago I had a massive heart attack at 47 and I’ve been very active my whole life which put a perspective on life and a wake up call to stop putting things off till I retire,, my whole life’s dream is to do exactly what you’re doing and you are an inspiration thank you and you’re family for sharing your journey

[@papaw5405]

I was taught to check the ends of boards that were going to be exposed and to turn the arc of the growth rings up as much as possible. Like this ︵. That way if it cupped it wouldn't catch water. Just an observation, not criticism.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thank you for that tidbit. We can always learn something! Thanks again for your support. -Jennifer

Will the bridge to the throne be covered from the weather?

[@majcorbin]

no eye or ear protection? what sort of example does that set? you can do better

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

My equipment doesn’t run very long. Grew up in construction and didn’t have any of those things. I suppose you call that “old school.” Never had any problems with skill saw and wood flying. I understand working all day near heavy equipment the use for heating. But, I don’t. It is quiet generally around me. I also use hand tools a lot. So, I probably won’t use any especially since I’m changing out most items with battery operated. I use ear plugs if I’m cutting all day with the chainsaw.

[@rollemswift2683]

Why didn't you build a small annex on the cabin for the toilet seems you are going to a lot of trouble to send people out into the cold for a visit and then there is during the night as well, not good. Cheers.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

There will be a bathroom in the cabin. This is just for use when we are out working. 😊 -Jennifer
