Going Off Grid EP6 - Shed Bathroom getting it finished

Welcome back. Sorry it's taking so long between videos. I have had very little internet access up here in the Boon Docks. I'll have to fix that. In this video Judy and I clean up a heap of old tounge and groove cedar boards removed from a neighbour's house renovation. We got the sink as well. It's all plumbed in to our instant gas hot water system and it all seems to be working well.
For paint stripping the old paint we used our large 5 KVA generator, but for most of the work we used hand tools and other tools power power our solar panels and Battery systems.
I wanted rustic simple and that is what we got.
Thanks for watching!

The Tongue and Groove Floor Boards came in 12 foot lengths. And since We were going to hang it vertically as Wall Boards it needed to be cut to lengths of 123 inches. And since there were so many of them to shorten Two of Us set about doing it. First I measured 120 inches with My Ten foot Tape Measure and marked it. Then I added 3 inches and marked it again, then I cut it. This first Board was then became the Template from which I cut all My other Boards. My Mate did the same. When hanging the vertical Wall Boards it became clear that all of My Boards were short. I had mistakenly added THREE CENTIMETRES not 3 inches. So We hung the Boards Long short Long short in alternating sequence across the Wall with the Gap at the bottom, intending to cover the Gaps with a Skirting Board. In the 20+ years the Board covered Wall existed the Skirting Board was never added. In time it became known that the Gaps were a Deliberate Architectural Feature (without further explanation). Personally I have always blamed it on Australia’s conversion from Imperial to Metric and the manufacture of Tape Measures calibrated in both. That and My youth and inexperience.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

: ) I feel your frustration Michael. A lot of my tapes have both metric and imperial and your not alone in making those mistakes haha. Bloody Aussies :) Thanks for sharing that Michael!

[@spinyuk]

I'm very much enjoying this build series, its a dreary evening here in the UK, not much chance of seeing a bunch of roos in my garden thats for sure :) Also, that paint pour with the tape, totally going to do that from now on, what a great idea :)

Thank you Michael! Much more to follow.

[@Crewsy]

The “rustic” appearance of the reclaimed pine and sheet metal perfectly captures the Forme Industrious look of your work. I love that you didn’t sand down the pine after the paint stripping process.

[@branchandfoundry560]

What a sharp looking bathroom, Scott! This is particularly interesting as my wife & I finished drawing preliminary house floor plan Tuesday and reviewed on-site with our architect Wednesday. With that in motion it's on to drawing workshop plans, which we'll build first as you did to facilitate our house build. Exciting stage of life we're entering, though I must say it feels like the clock is ticking! Best, Andrew P.S. Makers Camp was great last weekend, everyone sends their best!!! Jon Peters & I dutifully drank a beer in your name ;-)

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

[@brunomckay1875]

Mate I dont think you will have enough pressure but be aware of hammering in the pipes against the metal cladding, you can just buy anti hammering tap washers if it occurs.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Bruno. Zero hammer so far

[@FixitFingers]

You'll have no excuse to come back to the house a mess now Scott. Even using scrap you make it look like that's the way it was meant to be.

[@christopherdahle9985]

Cool! Curious why you didn't put a vent pipe or at least an air admittance valve on that drain line. I know it's "just a shed" and your drain line runs to air so you don't have to worry about sewer gases coming into the shop. But without a vent the traps are going to siphon. Even with the frog stop at the end of the drain line I'd be a bit concerned about creepy-crawlers coming up through dry traps. Don't know what sorts of creepy-crawlies you have in Northern Australia, but I'll never forget having had some really large, wiggly antennae poking up in the shower drain one morning in an old apartment I very briefly occupied. I'm fond of U-bends that stay filled with water!

[@Crewsy]

There are P traps under the sink and shower that should both stay full of water. With 2” pipe run the short distance that he ran them he’ll never have an issue with siphoning.

[@christopherdahle9985]

@@Crewsy He'll never have an issue with siphoning because it's temporary work camp set up for showering and brushing teeth until the house is done. It drains to air and it doesn't matter that the S-trap under the sink is going to siphon dry and suck the seal right out of the shower drain as it does. Besides,ain't nobody going to inspect it.

[@Crewsy]

@@christopherdahle9985 Your comment was about creepy crawlies. I still say it won’t siphon because the pipe diameter is large enough and the run is short enough to prevent ever being full which is what will be required to create a siphon. His P traps will definitely remain full.

[@stuartkorte1642]

I’m liking the bathroom build, especially the tin and the door. Is a building permit required for this or is it considered agricultural? So the clean room will be temporary living quarters until the house is built? Also do y’all camp in the van while doing this construction?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Stuart! I think technically you would need a permit yes due to management of waste water, but we had no sewerage set up (Just a portapotty) so we let it go. No I just wash my hands in there as we are up at our shed house now. Yes we stayed in the van whilst we built.

[@Giddyup0]

This was an awesome setup doing the same can I have a detailed how to please .. like how’d u plumb the hot water into sink , howd u sort the pump to turn on with the tap any info appreciated please thanx

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Sorry for the late reply. There are a lot of plumbing diagrams on line that would be of great help to you. The Pump comes on when there is a pressure drop in the water line, for example when you turn on a tap, the line is open and the pressure drops. The pump senses this and turns on. Most domestic water pumps would have a pressure switch installed. You would need to plumb the pump into the system. I used shark bite plumbing connectors. These are easy to use but expensive/ Lot's of tutorials on line for these. Hope this helps.

Hot running water makes life great! Judy might not think so, but the paint came off well with the heat gun. Old paint in the UK often just balls up in a sticky mess when using heat. Just curiously is the steam from the shower not going to add to Queensland’s humidity and rust the tools even faster in the shed? Or a better question, do you need a lid on the dunny? 😊

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yep definitely need a lid on the crapper. Hot water makes us feel like we are in civilisation again. The shower room is only for whilst we are building. We'll eventually have the house. The humidity is pretty low up here thankfully. Thanks Doug!

At 6:02, can I ask why are you using a knee instead of a bend? I've always been told that knees shouldn't be used too much because they restrict flow and this type of pipe is easily bendable :)

For the bend in the sink pipe? I used a heat gun and beat the pipe. The pressure pipe? Oh I'm an amateur :)

This is the life style we bought into when we immigrated to Australia from the UK, A beautiful idyllic setting, with a rustic shower, a few cows, and old Yota 4x4 with some Banana, Mangoes and a garden just big enough so sustain the wife and I. It started off so beautifully, we were on track to make "Robinson Crusoe" look like a Sunday School Pick nick when it all tuned into "Lord of the Flies" with the local Council making their appearance and demanded that we try to recreate Sydney in the middle of the Grafton Bush. Well as any "Bush Dweller" will tell you the responsibility in running your own Country inside Somebody else's Country (Council and all their Services/Taxes and infrastructure) is no mean feat, you end up being a Democratically Elected Major inside a Dictatorship, now how in the FCUKING Hell does that work, I have to follow the Wife's Guidance but Democratically Elected to "Rule", but the Dictatorship/Council/Bully is trying their best to grab the biggest part of the Nest egg you build up over 10 years to be able to do what I can only guess the Town Planner/Inspector will never have the the lability to do unless he tries to fly under the radar like I wanted to do. Well you win some and you loose some, I am planning something so sinister in the world of Farming Architecture that it will shock them to the core, but I am not saying anything. LOL!
