Starting Our Outdoor Shower Build | Part 1 - Pouring Concrete & Milling Lumber
Thank you Aura for sponsoring this video! Check out www.aura.com/woodbrew for a FREE 2-week trial to protect all your info!
What homestead backyard Intex pool area is complete without an outdoor shower?! We decided to build a timber framed outdoor shower for those days when you want to cool off, rinse off any dirt from a hard work day, and even wash the dogs. I have to say, this little area is getting such a big transformation and this addition will be so nice! In this video, we are pouring the outdoor shower concrete base and milling our own lumber for the shower walls!

Using soil as a base? Really? How not to do it more like
Nice work as always… Love the idea of Proven Hands… you may want to reach out to American Giant… they have an entirely domestic supply chain… They may be able to provide you some guidance and resources…
Ya know, I absolutely adore both of you. I just have a little bit of a beef --- TINY bit - with Dylan, because I think he needs to be a little more...ummm....he seems a little too.....macho? Like, when your girl says things you shouldn't get offended. You sometimes sound a little more offended than I think you should. (and, just by the way, I beg you....BEG YOU....to stop "surprising" your girl with project goals. Really. I thin Dylan is an amazing amazing man with the attributes that anyone would want. But surpises of project things just screams the old days of getting a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. Sorry dude. I think you're awesome in EVERY other way. Truly a masterful young man. Just trying to give you some pro tips here. (Edit to add: yes, I'm an old lady.)
Tip for the gnats i learned when i worked on the pipeline was to put a dryer sheet in your hat, the bugs dont like the smell. Hope that helps yall.
“Molly and “I’s.” “I” should never be possessive. Correct way is “Molly and my.”
You two have really relaxed into yourselves in a wonderful way; just being your warm, wonderful selves and kicking butt on your projects!!! So impressive all that you get done!
Do you not have postcrete in the US ? Much easier
Nice build! Good on you for going after it. You'll love having it. For the bed rails: add another set of supports on the outside of each bed position on ONE of the vertical rails - making the opening wider. That way, when you start lifting the bed, one person can set the bed on the extra supports (like a shelf) while the second person wrestles to find the opening. Watching at 24:10, she could have set her end on the extra supports while you wrestled your end up and slid it in. Makes that operation MUCH easier.
welcome to the nightmare of pool maintenance.
I LOVE, "Late Night UA-cam University" & "My mission in life is to learn all sorts of new stuff; a life long learner"... ME TOO 😁 Awesome job you two... Your place looks great.
Good job
Cracking video that lads!
My family and I have loved watching your outdoor patio space come together. The outdoor shower looks great, as for the aggressiveness of the finish: free pedicures! The roughness can be used to help wear down calluses. Looks amazing and can’t wait to see what’s next!
Seems like an awful lot of work building up around d a temporary pool…. What if it breaks and then future models are just a little bit bigger and won’t fit in that area.
I enjoy watching your videos. You're definitely someone after my own heart. I'm a woman in my sixties and I still like learning new skills and fixing my own stuff. My grandfather was a blacksmith/welder and taught all of us how to fix things instead of throwing things out and getting new. I've saved a ton of money over the years and gotten a lot of self satisfaction. Good on you for all that you've done. It looks great!
Clean up! Clean up! Clean up! Who's with me?
Great job guys. The only thing I would have suggested is to broom those slabs so u don't slip and bust ur butt with wet feet getting out of the shower and pool. Other than that, great job.
where are yall from in alabma i live in alabama
Would love to see the finished table!
Like you said things happen for a reason, I believe that God has your back and is protecting you both from unseen problems.I am new to your channel and just fell in love with you both.always great content and look forward to your to the development of the property.Coming from Chicago hts IL😊
Seeing how many followers and views yall are getting is making me think back to where yall started. Hope yall are proud of yourselves because you're doing amazing 👏
I so enjoy watching your videos. Very impressive.
The concrete vibrator is actually more to get the voids and air out of the concrete so it will be stronger and more consistent throughout the pour!
I’ve never had an online materials order come in correct. It’s actually impressive how bad these stores are at following a list.
Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers! I’m proud of you two! ❤❤🎉🎉
Molly your hubby is so Darling you both are precious to watch. ❤
Morning from the Winze family in Hutchinson Kansas congratulations on new addition. Do you know if it's a boy or girl?
Had to come watch the first video and I can’t believe how young you are, and doing such a great job.

I just started watching not too long ago and I love it I love seeing young people working hard and caring about what they do and how they work young people these days. Don’t have a good work ethic and all you hear is bad stuff and I’m so glad to see in here. What you do and how you do it
I love watching you guys 😊

You are both very hard-working people.
I love the mini concrete machine
Love your videos. They are so real. Thanks ❤
I used to work for a firm that had treetrunks delivered, we then had a giant saw, man riding on it, that cut the trunks into planks, they were then air dried, then put into an old lorry container that was heated which brought the wood down to interior wood use. Because we also did flooring, the planks were then dried further to 8-10% moisture content. Containers are great for drying wood.
GREAT Job you two (3) : )
Wow, that MudMixer looked easy to use. I hope yo guys can make a review about it or if it's worth buying 😊❤
Both you and Molly are amazing at what you do at such a young age. Wish you all the best for the upcoming birth. Love your videos 😊😊😊
*This project of part 1 is looking great. Roll onto part 2 next week.🙂 Yep get a few vids done ahead of time, so then when bubs arrives you both can take time out to enjoy parenthood. 🙂nz*
You guys do a really great job on your projects for being g so young. A mask REALLY should be used when working with concrete. You are about to be parents. You wanna live a long time, to see your kids grow up and be married and have kids, right? Look up what cement dust can do to your lungs. It’s not pretty.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and congratulations on your other business! You guys are awesome
G'day you 2.3, greetings from down under. You're getting good at the C'ment thing. We may have to start calling you "Con" (concrete)😊 Regards Wayne 🦘🇦🇺
Wow-looking forward to Proven Hands! There’s not enough made in America. I really enjoy you both working thru your projects and staying positive.
Great job, guys! You are truly inspiring to DIYers out there. Molly stay hydrated to prevent preterm contractions!!
Love you guys and your work ethic. 🥰💕
Love the roll out. Wood love a toolbelt that has a space for a pew pew tool.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
I find it so amazing that you do so many projects yourselves. You’re brave and not afraid to learn. It’s really freaking epic you can’t mill your wood instead of running to the lumber yard when you’re doing a new project. You’re both ambitious and are fascinating to watch! Thank you for sharing❤❤❤
