Family Creates MAGICAL Outdoor Shower with Earthbags & Glass Bottles

Рет қаралды 348,604

Күн бұрын

Family builds a unique off-grid outdoor shower out of hyperadobe earthbags and recycled glass bottle bricks. This was a fun little project that included our first exposed aggregate concrete floor, a drain that flows directly to our permaculture berm and swale ( • GREENING THE DESERT w/... ), a ridiculous amount of glass bottle bricks, a multi day earthbag workshop, a portable outdoor water heater, and the fanciest shower head we’ve had in over a decade.

My dad (born in 1925) grew up during the Depression. He remembered when his dad rigged up a bucket with holes in it hooked to a water hose. Though he lived til 2009, he said that first shower stayed in his mind till he died.

You are not just building a beautiful self-sustaining homestead for your family, you are also teaching the world your techniques. You are helping to save the planet. Countries all around world are greening up the land that has been turning to desert. African countries, Spain to name a few. You are demonstrating how 1 family can create a beautiful clean greenscape homestead in the desert of Arizona. Who knew??? You are teaching the impossible. Thank you for sharing with the world. Love your chanel.

You forgot to mention Israel , Which since 1948 has been greening up the desert so much so that they now provide fruit and vegetables and flowers to the entire continent of Europe And much of the middle east! Humans can't save the planet , that is in God's control, but they should do all they can to conserve the resources he is given us. Don't buy the world economic forum Climate change agenda , that is all about controlling us. Here in America we adore our free speech and our freedoms! It's the big manufacturers that don't care about trashing our planet as long as they make a buck! And they are the ones that need to be regulated

I love showering outside! I developed a love for it when I lived in a trailer park in Broussard, LA. Our travel trailer has such a small shower, I hung sheets and used the hose, yes with cold water. Years later, I was living at my mother's house, and her tub drain was terribly stopped up. She kept putting drain cleaner in the tub, which ate the porcelain coating off the tub, so I made my own shower on her patio. Again, using sheets and the garden hose. The whole family started using it until my brother could come and rehab the bathroom. The idea of having an outdoor shower with hot water sounds amazing!

The shower is absolutely beautiful! I count 744 bottles. Showing my work like they taught us in school; I did my best to check how long each row is, since there are 8 rows, and since each row starts one bottle in from the outer edge, I just have to count how many bottles more each row has than the one below it, add the number from below, offset diagonally as we go up. so, all in all, I counted a total of 372 bottle bricks, which each is made up of two bottles, for a grand total of 744 bottles. 🍾🍾 Just to show my work even more (I was bored and this challenge was apparently just what my brain needed tonight): 41:57 - row 8 (the bottom row) counts 25 bottle bricks. 45:30 - row 7 has 12 more bricks than the one below, so 37. 36:48 - row 6 has seven more bricks, so 44. 37:37 - using the end point of row 6 to know where the 44-bottle point is, the next 4 rows (the ones that end by the shelf) count almost the same, but the off-set means they're overall shrinking slightly - so rows 5-2 are respectively 51, 50, 50, and 49 bottles long. counting up to the shower head, row 1 (the top row) has 52 bricks. you can count the bricks to the right of the shower in the above shot, but an even clearer one is at 41:48, showing the final 14 bricks for a total of 66 bricks in the top row.

That's really awesome, finished out pretty good. Here's a tip on exposed aggregate: after the concrete is down,and your laying the pea gravel ; use a wood float trowel first too tamp it in and cover with the concrete cream. Then use your mag trowel with the steel. Once smooth call it good, and spray it with a, portable gallon spray bucket: 1gallon water with 1cup of sugar ; spray entire surface. This will stop the concrete from hardening on the surface. Then when the concrete is hard enough to walk on rinse the surface off exposing the aggregate, use a broom if needed. Then allow for it too cure then seal if desired. This method is used by professionals and works really well. Also might I suggest a cover over the drain outline to prevent critter migration and clogging up the line. Have a good week and God bless amen. Ps 500 bottle.

The red marker is a “witness mark”. It gets drawn after the fitting is torqued correctly. If the fitting walks itself off, the mark doesn’t line up and at inspection’s you hopefully see problems before they get bad. In more expensive applications, it is a brittle paint that will shatter with even tiny movement on the fasteners, making it even easier to see a problem early.

Asking yourself WHY that line appeared which is crossing out part of your sentence? Here's what happened... When you type the dash and add it on to the right side of a word, AND there's no space between the dash and the word, THEN follow it with a 2nd dash which is to the left of a word, with no space between the dash and the word, THAT'S when the computer adds in the cross through line of all the words between the 2 dashes. Ex; -cross out my words- To avoid that, simply put a space between each dash and the words next to it. - add spaces & don't cross out my words -

Hello from northeast Georgia! I love watching your videos, especially your use of colored bottles. Which reminds me, have you ever made a bottle tree?
