    As a fellow maker, I hear ya on the grand caravan, don't knock em till you try em! I have 184,000+ miles on my 2010 and I've hauled more things in that thing than most people do in their trucks. I haul lumber, firewood, minibike, plywood/drywall, boulders for my backyard pond build, table saw, my 3 kids, etc.... those stow and go seats are great, haul the kids one minute and haul some gear the next minute. Price was right when I bought it back in the day. Anyway, nice video and build! Sorry for the minivan rant, they get a bad rap and everybody makes fun of em until they have one 😉

      Man I totally agree . I hauled a 45'' wide 13 horse snowblower in mine . I've had 3 whitewater kayaks inside with myself and the other 2 paddlers , I once hauled 1600lbs of laminate flooring in it which was maybe a bit much I've camped in it . it has 320,000 miles and I keep thinking I should get another vehicle soon and all I can think is its going to have to be another grand caravan lol

      @StevePrimo 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @blackspruce1861 heck yeah man. I can't believe you hit 320,000, that's awesome! Last time I was changing my oil I noticed the frame is rusting pretty good (Pennsylvania winters and salt on the road, which I'm sure you know what I'm talking about up in Michigan). I'm still surprised they stopped making the grand caravan back in 2019. I'm more than likely getting another one too. Anyway, keep up the videos and getting your money's worth out of that mini van!

    Ryan this turned out very nice indeed! Get your dog an excavator & let him / her dig! The thing about outhouses you have to consider
    1) Location 2) Comfort 3) Ventilation 4) Lights
    1) Location - looks like a good spot
    2) Comfort - looks about the right size, not too small. Air Spray, plenty of T.P., adult wipes & lime, for decomposing waste. $8 toilet seat, hey as long as your wife is happy.
    3) Ventilation - looks like you might need more. How about adding a Solar Powered Exhaust Fan & maybe a timer?
    4) The clear panel roof is great, consider solar lights outlining your outhouses location & a 12 volt light inside for those midnight trips out. Hey if the wife isn't happy....

    How deep do you dig the outhouse hole, and do you eventually have to move the outhouse to another location, or does it somehow naturally compost?

    So the idea of going out there in the freezing cold is a hard pass. Anyway to put some heat out there? The seat has to be ice cold in the winter. Are you putting lye in the hole? How are you dealing with that? I know they have stuff to break down the waste. What about a composting toilet inside the cabin? The moon and tree probably bring in cold, maybe polycarb on the inside to keep the cold out?
