So, I have a question. If you purchased 2Xs from the mill for your vertical planks, why did you not just send them through a band saw or table saw to split them into two 3/4" (minus your loss from the blade) boards, doubling your output instead of planing the boards down and only getting 1 board? That pile of saw dust seems quite wasteful to me?!?!?!

Your proof of concept Walipini has been very informative. I have been working on a design for our Passive Solar & 6th Grade Science Concepts home & attached Greenhouse. Our ideas are a combination of houses past & present plus Walipini, Chinese Greenhouses, underground Thermo Tubes and a Passive Solar/Solar Trombe Wall. Even with a computer design program and a big tote fully of Legos, the design has been reconfigured many times over. We have finally reach the stage where the Draftsman will fine tune the design and combine it with the environment. Thanks for doing the honest videos and adding the "Could have, Would have, Should have" items and information. Good Lucky & Planning with your Walipini 2.0

Good video, I have been wanting to do this for some time now. You explained everything very well.... you don't happen to have a diagram?

Excel NE: I don't understand why the tray is so small. Like you said, if the drum is half full, you'll have to do 5 or 6 tray loads out. That doesn't allow the drying process to occur and you are unloading wet poop. They should have made the tray larger. Defeats the purpose of composting. Also, the tray loads too high on the left side and when you remove it, the poop rolls out on the floor. Finally, the poop smears all over the outside of the drum. There are so many design problems that would be an easy fix. $2 Grand for this product! I wish I would have stayed with the bucket method. Typical engineering. Those engineers only look at the blueprints and specs, but never get into the practicality of actually using the product. I totally regret the purchase. Now what do I do with this monstrosity?

I don't know why your videos don't have tens of thousands of views! I've watched a bunch of series on ICF builds and I find yours to be the most informative and entertaining. Thank you for putting them up. I hope to come across some budget video later. Have you ever considered putting your house plans up for sale? I like the layout of your home and may want to do something similar where I am in south of you.

Why does my separator leak from a hole in the side?

What brand do u think is the best electric fence?

Good video. You could have included price for each splitter. I thought each one had a couple pros and cons. I like the first one for the kids to use. Please wear gloves and safety glasses just in case. Thanks

Arnt you just so woke

What a inspiring project. It's amazing to see what's possible even in cold areas. Good luck with further developments, Cheers from Norway :)

thank you for this amazing and detailed review!

Finally a video of someone installing a real barn door and not silly interior "barn doors".

I might be too late for the show and people might not respond but I have been thinking about replacing the northern wall in this design with a two foot brick wall. Is this a good idea? Maybe even some XPS on the outside of it and heck even drainage to keep the water out and prevent any leakage!

God bless you for saving her. ❤❤❤

Totally loved your setup there , the horses are happy doing what they are supposed to do being horses. Stimulating and keeping them healthy , I love how you thought about the design and how it was going to work for your lovely equine heard , only issue I see here is the trees taking down the electric fence at times , the trees In The middle could have tree protection like wire mesh wrapped around them so the horses don’t kill them but if your not concern it doesn’t matter . Great video and great content ,thanks.👍

This toilet is absolutely terrible and the fact it was designed in 1981 really shows. It is mind blowing that this product is still sold as is when there are multiple obvious design flaws. The barrel is too close to the collection tray, meaning that the entire barrel gets smeared with feces when rotated while emptying. This is made worse by the fact the bar used to rotate it has plastic cogs instead of metal, which jump out of place causing the rotation wheel to spin dangerously while emptying when full, meaning you have to physically reach inside and move the barrel by hand to empty it safely, touching smeared fecal matter. This problem also causes the barrel to overflow into the interior base of the toilet resulting in a permanent damp moldy carpet of feces forming underneath it which is almost impossible to access and clean. The collection tray is cheap plastic and cracked/breaks when lifted from the front due to the weight of the collected compost. It has to be reinforced with epoxy to be usable. The toilet has a gap under the seat giving insects easy access. The plastic quality is very poor and after a few years it became very brittle and started cracking, requiring reinforcement with epoxy resin. The bar used to rotate the barrel is cheap plastic and snapped off completely within the first year of normal use. It doesn't compost at for the colder half of the year as it lacks internal heating. basically, it is a glorified bucket made of cheap plastic that will give you endless torture. Buy something higher quality and save yourself the headache.

Looks nice cooker and boiler. Would like to neaten up the pipework above tank and at least clip it to the wall neatly. Would of looked better in copper pipe.

Looking for barn door hardware please open it.

Too much work for a toilet. But if it saved you money good job.

Eliminate pipe on the bottom altogether, just use over flow tube's from barrel to barrel, if using for watering, just put a hose spicket on every 3rd or 4th barrel

Great video! Very informative. It was cool to see that you got the whole family involved.

I have a 4way like your middle one and green oak wood is a bear to get thru annd my logs arent big enough

These things are made to SELL, not to USE! Use a maul !!!

Bless you!

Sorry, if someone already mentioned this. One thing we use with our tents and teardrop camper are rubbermaid type storage boxes. Our shoes stay in the closed boxes either under the camper our outside of the tent. The shoes stay dry, snake and bug free, and the tent/camper stays a lot cleaner. Thanks for this video - very helpful.

This product is awesome! Have to convince my wife...we were using compost bucket but now back to flushing 😢

Great❤️❤️❤️

Avec un ingénieur français... C'est vrai que ce concept se développe. L'idée d'être hors réseau n'est plus tabou mais il reste du chemin pour que nous approchions le savoir faire américain

You did a great job explaining the orientation, cheers for that

Do you still have the refrigerator? And are you still happy with it after a year?

Kind of a way to get around shed/ outbuilding height restrictions. I'd never have thought you could have a two storey garden shed.

I hope the new season is going well! I'm looking at potentially building on a property, similar to you all--any chance you'd be willing to make a blog post, video, etc about how much it cost to build your home while doing a number of things yourself, and any chance you'd ever sell your blueprints? Thanks! Blessings on the new season.

Thank you so much I have the Sunmar Ne and love it but am having fly issues, going to try the spray you said and see how it goes. thank you again for posting

So while you are waiting for the solids to dry out during the cleaning process, are you still able to use the toilet while you wait? This would be the only toilet.

very helpful thanks

Level,it with the rock

Le debes recortar más los talones !!!!!!

I read that you can apply it to the wall also. Have you done that?

Is there any reason people put headers on the inside of the post instead of outside?

Great instruction from my friends in southern Indiana! Thanks!

I love this stove, but as an American I'd be a little daunted for the thermometer to be Celsius instead of F. I guess I'd get the hang of it. (Fahrenheit shaming. LOL. Hanging my head.)

So, considering one of these, when i see it i think state park toilets and the horrible smell associated with them. Do these stink when you lift the lid like those do at lakes, state parks, etc?

Thank you❤😊

The Doubl-Mat from Load Handler is not in stock anywhere online. Does anyone know where to find one, or what I could use similarly? Thanks.

Thank you

Is this still being used

Hello! Thank you for this video, Ive had a hard time finding some good videos. Can you explain how you put your switch in? My SunMar is in a recreational/off grid cabin using a solar panel and battery. I want to be able to turn it off when we aren't there for periods of time because it is running continuously. Thank you!

You’re lucky the walls didn’t collapse while working in the trench! Please use proper sloping.

Thank you for the informative video! We have friends who have a cottage they let us use a couple weeks in the summer with one of these in it. The cottage is off grid, no running water or electricity. Just used for summer getaways. I am hoping to be able to fix the issue before the owners get there so they have an easier stay. My question... Have you had to clean your screen yet? We started having issues a couple years ago with too much liquid in the bottom of the unit. The company said it could be a blocked screen or if the screen was horribly blocked it could be that the drain hose is blocked because the screen was blocked so badly. I was wondering how difficult cleaning the screen is first of all and also if you have an easy way to determine if the drain hose is blocked as well. We don't have many tool available at the cabin and I am trying to figure out what we might need to bring with us when we go up. So if you have any advice on cleaning the screen and possibly cleaning the drain or drain hose I would greatly appreciate it. Seeing a new one showed me better where things are (can't see the screen in the current one or never looked exactly in that direction really) so that gives me a little more hope I can get this done. Thank you for the very informative video.

will this Sunstar 12v fridge work well in an RV?
