    Try using a "Shower Saver" for the shower head. No other head I've tried saves as much water. And because you can adjust the stream so low, it also permits you to take longer showers for the same amount of water.

      +IamNemoN01 thanks! But we just turn the shower off while soaping up. Keeps it simple.

    Could you comment on the total efficiency differences in composting vs incinerating toilets? Composting toilets draw conditioned air out of the home all the time but otherwise take no electricity while incinerating toilets may be vented from interior or direct vented from the exterior and are available in both electric and propane versions. Which is most efficient in desert conditions, in extreme heat and cold/dry and humid conditions. How much energy does the venting of a compost toilet cost, worst case scenario and how does that compare to incinerating?

    I never heard of a water less P Trap. Will you be able to get to it if you need to service it? I wonder how this will effect your blower door tests.

      +59seank Come see the #TinyLab, Sean, and you'll learn all about it. In the Advanced Diagnostics Boot Camp every Friday, we take a look at exactly this issue. And you'll find that it's airtight, buddy!

    does that eccotemp tankless water heater have the horizontal bundle to exhaust out the side?

    Do you have any videos showing the exterior shower drainage? Looks like it goes down through the subfloor still?

    I'll be getting a tiny house in a few months. But it doesn't come with water system. At least I'll need toilet for me to take dump. I'll have tiny house delivered to a land I'll be leasing. How much will it cost me to have a toilet installed and plumbing? They need to dig the ground to get the pipes run right? How all this going to work? I'm clueless. Plz help

      Yikes, noobz. That’s why we emphasize planning- I have no answers for you this late in the game, sorry.

      I haven't bought the tiny house yet I'm looking to get one but trying to get more info before I move forward. Same with the land. I didn't sign the contract yet. I may have house have walls insulated and have electrical outlets ready. Though it would be convenient for me to have a toilet but not absolutely required. I can come up with other way around it.

    All this fancy build science stuff yet you still built the sub-floor directly on the trailer cross members? With out that thermal break?

    • @HomePerformance
      @HomePerformance  4 года назад

      Feel free to think thru how you’d build an effective break that won’t crush under the regular pressure of earthquaking and would be worth the expense since we already installed the smallest heat pump in the world.
