So gutted I couldn't help with all this, it looks totally amazing! Another beautiful building to go in your collection, and in such a short time too. You guys are legends :)
Gives new meaning to that age old name of " Throne room " ! ha one point as you were in dressing gown thought we were going to have the topping out dump ha ... as usual Kris great job love the rustic organic feel ... just one thing a light ? ...... im an age i remember breaking ice in the mornings when the frost froze water in bowl. .. just again remember to tel, those to wear sturdy boots as toe stubbing aint fun lol .. look forward to your next project.
Very nice and fast! The timber framing came out beautiful. While I have never worked with cob before a wet paint brush works well for smoothing out cement.
Seen glass beer jugs used in a thin wall like this one, the dimpled sort with a handle which helps with anchoring the glass into the wall plus you get a little cubbyhole for tea lights or alike.
Wow, Beth is a total cob ninja!!! :-) It'll be a khazi fit for a king mate, got to get some books in there for a truly royal constitutional. ;-) Would be cool if you could mount one of your amazing carved bowls on the wall for a wash basin...
As far as I can remember this is the first toilet I've seen made into art. "[The wise] find something truly extraordinary and beautiful and awe-inspiring in the most ordinary and mundane and commonplace [things]." - Anon
Wow Kris. Thats a really nice shitter. She must be a really special lady. I must say blue haired Beth is real fine too. Great work all. Looks very nice. Well done. :)
I think you should have installed a TP holder on the other side too. Because over time, you're going to be shifting the toilet seat to the other side, swapping back and forth. Then, you'd have to reach across the room, slightly standing up (while messy) before you can wipe.
Are you going to cob the front of the seat? Also, a secret for mid-winter. Cut a seat from blue or pink foam. It's like magic. It feels warm the instant bare skin comes in contact with it.
+Kris Harbour Did You know You can add coloured glass bottles into the cob for natural light? That You can create beautiful stained glass effect patterns with coloured glass bottles? Someone has mentioned You can also incorporate glass beer jugs which will create glass cubbyholes inside for tealight candles too! I Love the look of cob houses with little sections of glass bottles. Please consider it as it really does add a beautiful architectural feature & lets in natural light or coloured light depending on whether You go for clear glass or Cobalt Blue/Green/Turquoise/Amber/Red/Pink/Violet/Brown glass etc The World is Your oyster with glass bottles & other features You can add. Keep Your eyes open for old doors that have little stained glass leadlight panels in them too as the panels can be removed & added as little tiny feature windows in Your walls. Definitely open Your mind to how You can add more interest, beauty & light to Cob Houses. You'd be surprised how much of a huge impact bottles have & You can literally create any patterns You like or just add a block of light or colour. You still get privacy too which is why for a Bathroom They're a great option! :)
That toilet building is coming along nicely, but I wonder if you plan on making it heated somehow? If not, it can get very unpleasant to sit down on the toilet seat during winter.
great stuff Kris. There was a point before the walls went in when it had a certain Japanese architecture look. I hesitate to ask what you are using while the loo is under construction. ( or ...)
A sWelsh speaker love seeing 'Tŷ Bach' is very appropriate, from were the original meaning comes from, the 'Little House Outside'. But in North Wales where I'm from we'd refer to a Toilet as 'Lle Chwech" it comes from the slate workers there toilets where open space building with six holes to sit on 'Lle' means 'Place or spot', Chwech' means 'Six' :D
Beautiful work! Will there be a bog-roll holder for the other side as well? I imagine it'd get quite nippy during winter, do you have any plans for warmth in there or do you rug up and deal with it? Keep up the great work, mate!
Very nice. May I suggest some broken glass or fax. imbedded in the cob art work, just to show it off? You're work allows me to use my imagination, thanks:)
What's all the space behind the toilet seats for? Do you have thousands of toilet rolls to store? Is the composting taking place in a huge chamber below the toilets? I actually don't know if I want to see inside....
Perhaps the wrong question but, would you consider sharing your tattoos with us? We only get glimpses of what appears to be very fine work. Or perhaps you have and I've missed that video? If so, which one was it? I realize this request may be an intrusion, if so, I ask your pardon. If a stranger would ask to view mine it might give me pause but I think I might share my dragons. If Anne McCaffrey had asked, I might have cried. (I don't cry.)
I thought you were putting a “two-holer” in that outhouse. We Scotch-Irish hillbillies over in Kentucky would consider a two holed outhouse as really being high society. Actually, it looks great.
But what about when you rotate the loo seat, and have to lean that far over to get to the TP? While composting is an excellent idea for solid human waste, is there any way to address the flies? I know flies will not be attracted to at least half-composted wastes, before that time they're going to be attracted.
The only negative I see is the roof slope should have been turned 90* so the water sheds off to the sides and not to your door. Other than that it is a loo fit for royalty.
Ohhh man. My grandparents had an outhouse at their old farm and...... yeah. Fine in summer, if a bit smelly. But winter....... Yeah, I've taken a dump in sub zero temperatures. Not fun. The moment your arse touches the seat is a shocker.
Please please block the spaces in the front of the actual toilet . Mice .... shudder . What about windows , think creepy crawlies getting in . Other than , fantastic !!!!! Like someone else said , I could watch you watching paint dry . Great work
never taught i would enjoy watching someone building a toilet so much looks great
Excellent use of dressing gown. Glad to see you aren't letting standards drop!!

The Tree Design and the Designs in general are looking amazing, fits great in. :)
That cracked toilet seat will pinch some important parts ! LOL ! Great videos as always sir.
Jeff Barr i thought the same thing 😂😂
Wow! It looks so good. Great job. Looking forward to the completed structure. Blessings...
excellent project and outcome. Love the combination of cob, stone and cladding. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes
Thanks so much for sharing the lovely loo. You both have done a great job and it's coming along nicely.
awsome job 👍 that's nice enough to chill in if it started raining ..love the specail effects ..
Coming together nicely. Love the cob art.
This is what I call life with style. Perfect.
Love the tree cob art!
Very nice and fast! The timber framing came out beautiful. While I have never worked with cob before a wet paint brush works well for smoothing out cement.
I would have loved to see some glass bottles mixed in the cob to bring in some colorful natural light

Awesome Kris. And she is very beautiful too, im happy for you.
I want the cob-art lady in my life..... that’s seriously aesthetically pleasing
Thank goodness, you had me worried for a moment that you were a 'roll from behind' kind of toilet roll person.
Sir, I´ll have you know that rolling it from behind is the only way to keep a cat from unrolling it, and therefore the correct way of doing it.
G B: And for that, you will be first on their list when the uprising starts!
but i haven't got a cat. Should I get one?
Yeah anyone who's ever been owned by a cat knows that under rolling is the only way to go. I don't have a cat anymore and I still do it lol.
I would tell my cat not to go into the loo :)
A second toilet roll holder for when you change seats - or are you going for a long reach?
Good man... He puts the roll in right ..

Man I never had one like that looks great
Another great video

Keep up the great work, mate!
Nicest outhouse EVER!
Great project again 👍Love your videos 😃
It looks amazing. Love it!
You should do an episode on turf roofs. Why? What are the benefits? How does it even work?
Very nice. May I suggest some broken glass or fax. imbedded in the cob art work, just to show it off? You're work allows me to use my imagination, thanks:)
wow work of art !

love it, well done yall
Nice to see that my patreon money is well spent in a toilet haha, jk, tbh I would watch you doing laundry :)
Damn amazing, the girl with the green hair was very beautiful and did great art too!
Now that's a nice Loo..
Yes Sir, mighty fine Privy...
Almost done everything new except the seat, should have done it too. Greetz
awesome looking crapper dude! doesn't the loo roll get damp out there risking a finger break through?
enjoying learning from these vids. I found cob always takes ages to make, do you speed up the process in any way? ta
I thought you were never using cob again? ;-)
More vids! Made my day! :)
I thought you were putting a “two-holer” in that outhouse. We Scotch-Irish hillbillies over in Kentucky would consider a two holed outhouse as really being high society.
Actually, it looks great.
Sorry mate, I want a clean toilet roll 😉
Great job 👍
That dirty bog roll looks like something from a nightmare stop at a public toilet.
Too funny. I thought the same, just leave that beside the seat and listen to the visitors/volunteers scream and run away.
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed indeed
I've seen house-raisings and barn-raisings before; this was my first outhouse-raising. Y trwsiad tŷ.
But what about when you rotate the loo seat, and have to lean that far over to get to the TP? While composting is an excellent idea for solid human waste, is there any way to address the flies? I know flies will not be attracted to at least half-composted wastes, before that time they're going to be attracted.
Sawdust gets thrown over any waste, and that has a lovely smell :-)
For the posts, are you hewing your own timbers or buying dimensional lumber?
I thought you were shifting the seat over to the other side? It’s going to be quite a reach to get to your T-paper.
As much as I like it, I don't think I've met a female who would use it : /. If your lady approves, you are one lucky man. Great work as usual.
The Pooh palace is going to be nice.
The only negative I see is the roof slope should have been turned 90* so the water sheds off to the sides and not to your door.
Other than that it is a loo fit for royalty.
aloha K... i noticed the same thing... your drip edges are where you enter???? oh well, its your privvy.... keep up the good work....
Why put the roof eve over the door, now you need an eve trough to keep runoff splashing at the door.
Great!
Ohhh man. My grandparents had an outhouse at their old farm and...... yeah. Fine in summer, if a bit smelly. But winter....... Yeah, I've taken a dump in sub zero temperatures. Not fun. The moment your arse touches the seat is a shocker.
Does it freeze in Ireland?
Now, let the poopers flow!
what no quarte moon in the door ?
What kind of mortar is that?
Matt Foushee it's called Kob
Swirly brown poo art on a toilet. Does what it says in the art
i guess no provision for heating the space in winter??? brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Please please block the spaces in the front of the actual toilet . Mice .... shudder . What about windows , think creepy crawlies getting in .
Other than , fantastic !!!!!
Like someone else said , I could watch you watching paint dry .
Great work
Awesome shithole
Its a Thunder Box, not a Nancy boy toilet
Have you thought of making a biogas generator? Like this th-cam.com/video/pKZgnXQCp98/w-d-xo.html. Another form of power/heating/cooking...
No bedet ?
Malcolm Funnell Yes, a bidet would be great 😉
The stream is a short walk away... ;)
selador11
Bit cold in the winter , I wouldn't fancy it
Brilliant video , but you have hung the loo roll round the wrong way!
First Comment
That's not a comment, its a statement:)
Brilliant!
