So glad to hear, thanks for letting me know!

Thanks Kimo! I thought long and hard about adding clean outs on the tanks. In the end the fact that the concrete pads are only about a shovel deep in the soil let me take a pass on those. I did add the observation port at the discharge end which I check monthly. At the first sign of any thing but liquids going by I will call for a pump truck! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! Barry

At least! Maybe even much more better. Thanks for watching and always keep smiling!

Douglas Agree, but I am treating liquids and solids.

Ray It is a gravity system from the cabin to the septic tanks to the leach field. The leach field is the next video in the series. Barry

@ ok thank you great video

Thanks, a little respect is always appreciated! Barry

Thanks Britt!

Thanks Benjamin! I questioned the joint between the tube that hooks to the propane bottle and the stove. It just seems so flimsy and loose. I used to have the bottle propped up on the counter like you but Dave slid it over and let it hang. The bottles last an amazingly long time, so I don't believe they leak in either position. But as you can see ours is outdoors so a small leak would just be an inconvenience not a safety issue.

The best projects are when everything comes from the shop, I didn't even have to buy the varnish! Sometimes it just works out that way. Thanks again!

Girth There are guidelines based on your soil type, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. i just made mine as long as I could based on the piece of property I was working with 🤞

Thank you for the kind words !!!

An excellent solution!

Thanks ! The boat is in boat purgatory, not sure if it is for sale or if my sone wants it. But it is still around.

Thanks Brandy!

Thank you chugaaa! The needed some love!

Mr. Barry, great job! Wold like to know what epoxy and thickener did you use for the door? Brand, maybe link to big A page? Thanks.

Bert, thank you for the kind words. The jig was just a helper to establish more accurate measurements that I didn’t need.😏

Thanks for sharing!

Mike Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment. Glad you have a system that works for you.

KK Not sure what you are asking.

My most frustrating issue with You Tube is that I am not able to add photos to responses on comments . If I could do this I could show the haters that the walkway is crack and heave free after five plus years. So something must have been done correctly, yes? Anyway, even negative comments help my channel so bring them on!

That’s us!

Yes always beg for permission and pay $1000's of dollars to your masters in permits, licenses, and fees before doing anything on your own property, LOL!!!!

Justin Two thoughts One ; we are on our own 125 acres in a very rural corner of a very rural county in a very rural state. Things are just different here than in most parts of the country including Baton Rouge Louisiana where we live. Two ; I am not sure I have done anything that would not be up to code. To complicate the issue The codes refer to bedrooms and occupants, and we have neither. Location location location! Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment.

Frankly, if an any pipe in any treatment process gets clogged it is a problem. Not sure about your concern. If there were to be a clog wouldn’t you think it would be on the inlet of the first tank prior to any anaerobic digestion? There will be a year end review of the system in a video so that you haters can either say I told you so or more likely just be quiet. Thanks for commenting, as it helps my channel.

Thanks Buck! I guess I just don’t have much tolerance for folks that don’t do their job as best as they are able. In the other hand, Steve’s crew, too notch. Once the concrete hit the ground there was no more talking. They just made it happen. Barry

Thanks Chug! They don’t bother me it just seemed like they really came out of the woodwork the last time I did a concrete video. The boat is fine but I never use it. It needs to find a new home.

@ so sad to hear specially after all the hard work and dedication you put into it, well as any other cycle in life it is time for someone else to appreciate that jewel 🛥️ . Best wishes Captain!

Albert You are 100% correct. We are at the end of a long drought and all of the soil was dust. A ran the sprinkler for a half a day until the area was soaked and then no more the day before concrete day. I didn’t want it to be muddy. Technically visqueen would have been the best to separate the wet concrete from the substrate. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! Barry

Who’s pushing?

Thank you Ken for stating what a lot of folks have trouble grasping. Our loading will be minimal and fingers crossed, it will work for a long long time. Barry

New Kid, happy you were able to get something for the video and thanks for letting me know! Barry

Marion I think you have asked a pretty good question but one that has no good answer. I am sure "off grid" means different things to different folks. But to dwell on that part of the title seems to be missing the big picture. "Off grid" to me does not equate to illegal, at least to me and the other 290 thousand viewers that watched this video, as no one else has asked this question. Maybe a reasonable answer would be a location where no municipality has jurisdiction, as in my case. Thanks for watchin and thanks for taking the time to comment. Barry

Thank you chugaaa! You are a kind soul. Barry

On a normal day my head spins. Reading the Chinese/ American translated instructions that didn’t even pertain to my situation really had my head spinning. Just goes to show, instructions are overrated.

Thanks Paul I should have never tried to read the instructions! Especially Chinese instructions. It can become a bad habit . Barry

Not much of a blur job, was it? But since we have only had a working gate for about two of the 22 years we have lived here it is not a big problem. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! Barry

Alex Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment. And you are probably 100% correct. Barry

@@barrylukebuilds7894 I am fat from being a pro. I just had to struggle a few times seeking for workers so I have learn some tricks. You the pro. Thank you so much man!

Best comment!

Whaaaat????

The unfortunate reality of TH-cam is all of the tips and suggestions, some good, some bad, come after the projects are completed. Sometimes years after! Were it not for the choice of fabric I made, the method I used to construct these shades would require no sewing machine and no special tools. I think for a lot of people that is a plus. Your method would probably look more professional though. As always, thank you for the feedback. Barry

Thanks Jim! Several folks have suggested using yeast, I will look into that. Barry

Thank you Randy! I am also hopeful it will be trouble free, the warranty is a little suspect.

Randy If it’s yellow it’s not me For outside I Pee My bride will let the yellow mellow But mostly saving water for the next fellow.

Randy Can’t say we ever had an outhouse. I guess I was raised a city boy. But after using our log and then a bucket now having enough water and being able to trip the flush lever and watching it disappear, life’s little pleasures.

Yup I got close by leaning the drums.

Thank you, if you make your own I hope the video helps!

Thank you Philippe! You are probably aware we have a bit of French heritage here in Louisiana. My dad grew up in a French speaking household. But unfortunately as the decades roll on the French speakers a becoming fewer and fewer. Thanks again Barry

Mr Mark I am appreciative that you have watched my video and taken the time to comment. I also appreciate your safety concerns but I think (at least in my particular situation) maybe those concerns are unfounded. A while back when we switched from the camper holding tank to the holding tank I fabricated all of the drains underneath the bathroom were rerouted. We failed to test the tub drain for leaks therefore we had a dry p trap. Yes gases came in and it took just a minute for us to realize that there was a problem. Running bath water solved the issue immediately, I can’t imagine dealing with stanky air long enough to cause harm in what is basically a one room cabin. Shame on me for not knowing about cell core pipe. Now I know. The cabin is close to three years one now and everything has been copasetic. Thanks again. Barry

A little levity is always a good thing!

Outliving me won’t be too impressive but if it outlives you then I did a good job.
