Laura, before you get into the outdoor deck, you should definitly put the house itself on jacks to relieve pressure on the tires, as time passes, ground will compact and tires deflate, having jacks on the metal structure will prevent sagging and bad surprises 8)
Laura, can I make a suggestion? You may need to turn your camp stove around as the back of the burner is very close to the front of the sink and it may leave a scorch mark over time. The tiny house looks amazing, but I must admit that I'm really looking forward to work once again commencing on the big house.
Yes...I thought this also. Unless she makes a stainless steel sheet heat-shield and tacks it in place on to the underside and over the leading edge of the sink maybe.
Yes this is was stood out to me too. Everything else looks great. I think they make hinge like drawers that when you pull them out they also rise so it would bring the stove further up and out and give you the bonus of higher shelf for the stove.
Amazing, as always! Please wear eye protection and a respirator. When I watch you cutting stone and other materials, I can't help but worry about your long term health, as well as the example you set for other young people who admire and learn from you. You are always an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your innovative designs and motivating your audience with your positive attitude.
This series has been my introduction to your channel Laura, and every time you post I am filled with a childlike excitement. The internet can often be a place I go to disassociate, but your videos leave me feeling replenished and eager to build and improve in my own life. Thanks for all that you do. Beautiful work!
Exactly same feeling here Ian, and I've been following her since before she did her first barbecue project. If you haven't checked all her videos already I recommend you the bench restoration near the river. Especially part 2 (but check both of them for context). I've even saved that second video in my inspiring playlist because even if Laura "just" makes stuff, here life philosophy will inspire many across the world.
My Sunday's wouldn't be complete now without having Laura's fantastic videos to entertain and inspire me to aim for perfection in my own little projects So excited to here that we'll be able to go back to the big house and follow it's ongoing refurbishment
You have been a great inspiration. After watching my husband doing all the work for thirty plus years (and being frustrated all the time because he didn't do the things I considered priorities), I started last year to buy my own tools and to start my own projects. Maybe for the younger generations, watching a girl making stuff is like a normal thing, but for us older folks, its much more transformational that I would thought. Looking forward to the Liselottes and more.
Laura you are a role model to many people. PLEASE use safety glasses and breathing protection, especially when cutting that concrete stuff. At least you put on hearing protection for a few cuts. You are far too important to the world to lose you earlier than need be. (Sorry for getting dark like that)
Agree! I saw all that concrete dust flying up and then the shot panned out and I was alarmed to see no mask. We don’t want to lose you, Laura. Please be safe! 😊
At this point I feel like I'm watching a friend, laughing along with Laura. Solution finding at it's finest, with humour, tenacity and kindness to her friends, dog, co-workers and importantly, to herself. I feel fortunate as a viewer to have a window into a life that is inspiring. Thank you to everyone involved.
Idea for gray water. Instead of a tub in the cabinet, run a pipe through the floor to a big container on the under-side of the tiny house (assuming you plan to leave it on wheels). Then as a later project, use it for watering a garden. You'd have to research soaps though so you're not using a soap in the sink that would be bad for plants. Or another option is to research gray water evaporation systems. The Burning Man community has come up with a number of interesting solutions for that, but they mostly take advantage of the fact that Burning Man is in a desert where it's hot and dry.
@@karincorbin2355 Good point, though with appropriate engineering, that can be worked around. Really, she just needs to decide what she wants to do with the water. She could conceivably run it into a septic or sewage system, depending upon what is legal and convenient for her.
@@christinedehn3257 depending on who you read. Toilet water is always black. Sink water is sometimes black because of the high content of bacteria and grease.
That turned out very nice! If I may offer a suggestion, get one of the little rubber switch covers that goes over the toggle portion and threads on to the mounting threads. That'll prevent any splashed water from going into the switch contacts. They're usually black and not as attractive as the bare toggle switch, but it will prevent corrosion inside the switch. You can also smear a little dielectric grease around the toggle before putting the cover on.
That is exactly what I was thinking immediately. But the metal switch looks so good! Replace the switch once a year is not big deal, but short in electricity is not very good ... I was also thinking about turn knob to be able to regulate the flow... I wish Laura good luck!
I know you're only cutting a little bit of that cement board but you may want to be careful to wear some kind of mask in the future. That stuff can be nasty. The wood is bad enough but the cement is worse. that said, amazing content and so fun to watch all this progress!
Hey Laura. I love your work. A small piece of advice; epoxy without cloth is like cement without rebar. Eventually, it will crack. (I have built several wood sinks.) Also, epoxy does not like sharp edges. Your drain hole should be chamfered around the top. hope this helps.
Epoxy on wood wants to crack due to the wood expanding and contracting. I imagine that the cement board may be more stable and thus less likely to crack. Still, adding a cloth/epoxy layer wouldn't hurt.
I love it!! No matter the fire hazard and lung damaging respiratory harm it could cause! You’re awesome!! Lol Seriously, I love your work! Lori from California here admiring your skills!!!
The flame on the pull out burner is pretty close to the wood top. if the slide locked when extended it would be safer. If it got brushed in a bit while cooking, it could be bad... :(
I can't believe I'm watching you cut cement board without a decent dust mask. I've only known a couple of guys who died of cementosis, but that's enough for me.
It was so much fun to watch all of the builds you did for this project! Please do keep us updated on how you finish the furniture and details, and on what you end up doing with the outside area as well!
As much as I am looking forward to see more videos from Liese Lotte, I really will miss the tiny house project. I am 100% in for a season two of this :D
What makes me smile is how Laura is always so surprised about what she is or has built, and that it works! It’s as if you’re skills outweigh your confidence in yourself and your ability, which we all know as we watch you all the time, that you are a genius, a craft person, an engineer - You have skills Laura Kampf.
Let's point key moments in this video: 1. Notebook flying in the air. 2. Music matching Laura's tapping on the concrete board. 3. The back to reality moment after Laura said she feels like a grown up. 5. The copper touch to that amazing sink.
einfach herrlich, deine/eure Posts! hab sie erst kürzlich entdeckt. sie sind unkompliziert, praktisch, reduziert, inspirierend, clever, humorvoll, authentisch, etc. herrlich auch, wie sich die Leute aufregen können über Pipifatze und alles besser wissen... always was and always will be - keep on keeping on!
I watch all the videos and they're always interesting and nice, but somehow I wanted to compliment Felix on the editing and especially the music choices. the lo-fi hiphop on the assembly, the guitar on the epoxy bit.. very fitting and adds a lot to the video.
Amazing job. You might find that the water splashes a lot and marks your walls - it's a long drop from such a high spigot. Shortening the vertical will fix that.
I use a similar drawer set up for a small convection/toaster oven - but I agree with the others that open flame and propane seems dangerous in that location
The sink is really cool. Never considered how to make one before, but this gives me so many ideas for when I build my camper. With this design, you could add a little drawer for sink accessories, like sponges and brushes, under the right side.
From one Laura to another..... YOU are unbelievably talented! It seems there is nothing you can't build. And to top it off you are humble and can laugh- and learn- when you make mistakes. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
The cinematography, the storytelling and the editing in this video truly show the amazing team that is Laura and Felix. Amazing video as always, one of the few creators I make sure to watch as soon as I can after release! What a day hahahah
Among all the elegant solutions you devise, that sink is outstanding. I'm not so sure about having gas that is not properly bunded and drained to outside but that sink is the dog's.
This vlog was hysterically funny. I think I had a big smile ear-to-ear the whole time stiff I was laughing at the time. Felix, your camera angles were so good and the editing was superb. Now I will use the one German word I know. GEIL!
Nice Laura. I think your stove might give you some issues, the flame will be to close to the wood for safety and comfort. I would suggest a pull out (as you have) with a lift mechanism too, to bring the stove level with the top. Keep on smiling.
You may want to put some sort of heat reflector on your sink so the gas stove doesn't burn it. I think a small sheet of hammered copper would look nice.
this video was so funny. I can't tell you how much light these series are bringing to my life. Watching things get created by great people is a true joy. thanks so much for sharing
Super cool sink! Pro tip for the slide… Take some wax paper and use it to slide (under your bum) a couple of times and you’ll notice a big difference once you’ve done this.
Hi Laura, you did a great job, really nice and functional. When you weld copper pipes with tin, try not to point the flame at the welding point but make sure that the heat spreads towards the weld, so you will get better welds, so my plumber told me years ago: the flame direct raises the temperature of the junction too much and the tin penetrates badly and the flux burns before having done its job. Bye and see you next time, hopefully with Liselotte Haus!
I have always thought you were adorable. However, the explanation of your meticulous need for detail is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks because I've been watching long enough to see those clips and they connect to other ones. One day I will be a quarter as cool as you if I'm lucky.
I like this method of finding out what you want in your space and then building it to fit your desires. Super nice way to design your space. And I've never seen someone *make* their own sink before...and faucet. Super cool. It's so nice that you and Felix play off of each other in such positive ways. These are the kinds of friendships that I want, too 🌹🌹🌹
You might need a heat shield on the edge of the sink by the stove, you could combine it with a metal lining on the underside of the sink, to protect the wood from any residual heat from the stove, when you push it back under after use (also gives you a little bit of protection if the stove is pushed under lit!). Otherwise it's bloody ace!!
Laura, if you're building a deck, why not give yourself a porch outside the door too? A covered space to keep the rain off the door, with a bench to the side that you can leave your boots under, and a little deck on the other side of the door with a couple chairs, and maybe even a hammock chair. Could be really nice!
This has been such a great project! Looks so nice! Thanks for your work! I just have a few comments I want to get out there 😉: - 2:21 Please wear a mask when sawing this stuff!🙏😂 For your own healths and our entertainments sake! - 9:32 Really nice cut between the the next scenes! Big thanks to the editing team for your great work! - 13:57 Maybe you should install some heat proof material on the bottom of the board just above the stove? The wood above the stove might get black after a while. Otherwise you might always need to let the metal cool down before pushing it back in. Always fun watching your videos!
I love watching your channel, also being a somewhat crafty girl building stuff and renovating houses. Now I don't know why, but when I watch your weekly video, it drops my anxiety level so low that I nearly every time end up falling asleep, napping a bit and then having to rewind. Thanks for sharing your projects!
I would say the most controversial is the toilet and shower. How to handle the waste from the toilet, and how/if to shower has a lot more things to take in to consideration
So cool! I'm really impressed that you made a functioning sink so quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing Liese Lotte construction resume (and--fingers crossed--successfully completed)!
Laura i think the sink and faucet looks great, however i think it'd be a good idea to have an aerator/belufter attached. That way you will save a lot on water, which i think is especially nice when living in a house thats off the grid :)
It’s a beautiful sink, Laura! I love it that you made the faucet high. I look forward to seeing you resume building Liselotte. I hope the winter weather hasn’t done much damage to your house. Greetings from New Zealand.
Laura, I came across your channel 2 days back and really just in love with your work on the tiny house. I squealed with delight when the mitred corners of the sink fit perfectly! I love your child like enthusiasm and it helps that you are German- I love the way German engineering really is heaps ahead of most other countries so it’s a little bit of a projection 😅. Looking forward to more content from you.
I've enjoyed watching you with the tiny house, but boy oh boy am I looking forward to seeing progress on the big house again! Thanks for keeping it real.
Along with other safety tips, I thought the stove could use some sort of auto shut off when the drawer is closed. If it was on and the drawer was bumped close that could be a big problem. The fire proof lining could also be a good idea!
I just adore your videos. I do worry about your lungs though. You do lots of cutting and sanding without any respiratory protection and vacuum lines just aren’t enough. Please take care.
This is very validating for myself. I had just purchased an older home, built in 1890, that was a victim of being chopped up into 7 single flatts. But had since been gutted, rendering it devoid of any functioning amenities, a bathroom sink and toilet here and there, that kind of thing. However there were some undeniable up sides, all the windows and doors have original hardware, all of the wood trim, frames and base boards are unpainted. This is the practice of many slumlords and is almost unavoidable with these old homes where I'm at in Missouri, in some cases I've scrapped 6-7 layers of paint from woodwork at other houses I've worked on, literally changing the dimensions of windows. How ever, I digress, this is about a sink.. One of the sinks happened to be an original 'farmhouse' style, so this was the obvious choice for the main sink. I was basically camping in the place at that point, so I've had very similar set-ups over the weeks and months. Of course things take much longer than anticipated especially on a solo-reno; at a certain point you might find yourself weighing the amount of time and effort with the convenience or quality of life improvement to be gained by the upgrading of temporary setups.. My grey water system was just one of the medium size blue plastic drums and naturally I'd let that thing get too full to want to drag to the nearest drain, so I'd end up doing the 'where's the old pitcher at' method, so one gallon at a time across the house to the toilet. now I had already figured out the water pump sink faucet, only after a few weeks of gravity fed frustrations, but I hadn't thought to do the same for the other end of the system. So I hooked up another pump, dropped it in the barrel, ran the hose over to the W.C. then could just clamp the hose aimed in the right direction and flip the switch. It was one of those, I'm both happy and embarrassed with myself; but it sure did make a noticeable difference in my work flow and task management. Also my hot water at the time came from running the pex straight up to the 3rd floor and into the small attic (3ft tall) space, coiling up a few feet, then running it back down to the shower. during the winter it was a large Rubbermaid container mounted above the shower with a 'sou vee' element suspended inside..
Oh Laura. Your sink and the copper faucet are impossibly beautiful! So simple and elegant. You've done it again, and I'm not surprised, but I am continually amazed and impressed.
"Can you believe we did this in 2 days?" Yes, I can believe it. You are super intelligent and can make anything happen. Your tiny house is adorable! Kudos to you and to Felix for his excellent filming. 🙂
A concern I have with the sink here is that your surfaces appear to be entirely flat, it will make water pool up in corners instead of drain. I'd recommend adding a bit of an angle towards the drain when you add additional epoxy applications.
Slides are so much fun! When I was a kid we used to take our jumpers off and sit on them down the slide. They were often more slippy and faster down the slide than our trousers 😁
Geil! Such incredible work! I'll miss this series a lot, but what a job well done. I hope you will consider posting quick updates here and there (as long as they aren't about water damage, as I think you've had enough of that for a lifetime already). I'm sure your mini toolbox will be put to good use tinkering and making the house even better, and I can't wait to see how!
I speak almost no German but languages are very interesting. I really appreciate these new bilingual episodes. It's cool to hear a reaction in someone's first language
Hi Laura, Long Time Subscriber and I always look forward EVERY week, for a new episode in whatever you are putting out. 1 tip if I may in soldering copper pipe, is that you heat the I.e elbow first and then apply the solder, the heated elbow acts as a vacuum when the solder is applied and will draw the solder in and make much better joint. Keep up the great very interesting work with your astonishing talent. @ everyone and to those which it applies, Happy Easter .
So, Ive been watching you for YEARS, was just watching this episode thinking "wow she really does have my dream workshop and has progressed so much beyond my own capabilities and is so pro now"...then you forgot to cut that piece, I think it was the panicked taking off of the jacket that got me the most, so good to see you are still. just a human and do dumb things just like me! Amazing work. Thanks for all the videos over the years!
i'd recommend replacing the camp stove with an induction burner because using a camp stove inside puts you at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. at least get a carbon monoxide alarm and don't use the stove without opening windows
CO is the worst one, but you are putting all the combustion gases and particles into the small airspace that you are living in. Every research I've seen has concluded indoor gas (or any fire really) is bad for your health. Even when not going, almost all the gas appliances tested leaked. Induction is the way to go if you can. Or at least a good range hood / extractor fan
I think you might want to highly-consider an externally-mounted washing station: a deep-basin with goose-neck-faucet a long-hosed-sprayer and a large-size wet-board draining-side; a foot-wash, an emergency-chemical-shower, an eye-wash-station, and a huge towel-rod for all the washed gear to hang. Just a big commercial sink for clean-up everything messy before retiring inside.
I have loved this series and look forward to all the future details. However, I’m super excited to get back to the big house. I can only imagine what your creativity will be like in such a large space.❤
I thought the same thing, its a great build but having a flame burner that slides into a wood structure is worrying to me. I would replace it with a plug in induction burner personally
I just love the way Laura (with a little help from Felix) jumps over her hurdles when she gets to them, pure inspiration from all angles👍🏻 happy Easter Laura and co🐣
This is the first video I've seen from this channel but I wanted to point out that the plywood and other lumber used all looks to be very high quality. Dense in grain for the lumber and no pits or inconsistency for the plywood. Overall I'm just very impressed with the build and hope that sink and mini stove serve you well for years to come.
Watching you gives me so much confidence that I too can tackle projects that challenge my skill level instead of paying someone all the while wishing I could do it myself
Sink looks great! As a sailor who is always concerned about working with a limited water supply, I'd suggest replacing the toggle switch with a foot switch (or better yet manual foot pump) so that both your hands are free and you have better control over how long the pump runs.
Love the build. Somewhat worried about the stove though. Placement and type. Personally, and I did work as a professional cook, would not use gas in a tiny house even with a well ventilated dedicated area which I don’t see. Health risk besides the obvious flame safety concerns. A great choice is induction portable cooktop since you have electricity. Quickest cooking with temperature control. I use mine exclusively now for home use. Please also have a smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, again for your safety if not already in place. Keep up the builds
Looks very good. A tap/faucet with just an on/off switch (no gradual control) and without the "filter" you usually have at the end of taps/faucets will probably use more water than you need. That means your water container will empty faster than it needs to.
I'm actually surprised by the lack of dust collection. For someone that's concerned about safety this really surprises me. I saw no dust collection at all. Shame. I have a hard time believing Laura was ok breathing in concrete dust.
A lot of wood dust extractors have trouble with non-wood dust. Laura did have line connected to her sander. On the safety end yes, also she could wear glasses more often.
Love watching this process! I am a bit confused though. I had the impression (might be wrong) that the tiny house was to be a place to live while working on Lise Lotte and I assumed it would be moved to the house site. I see from all the plans to improve the area around the tiny house that it will be staying in its current location??
Dein zufriedenes und glückliches Gesicht wenn etwas perfekt passt, alleine dafür lohnt es sich, deine Arbeit und Felix Kamera jeden Sonntag anzuschauen. Mal abgesehen, dein Waschbecken sehr sehr cool! Schön das es bald mit Haus Liselotte weitergeht. Gruß aus Berlin, Sandra.
The Tiny House is a good transition to the Big house. It may take a few years to complete the Big house, so it is great that you have a comfortable place to live during renovation. John in Bethel, Missouri USA
That is SO COOL. I love the colors copper takes on when you heat it; all the bright gold, copper, deep reddish-copper, blues, greens, pinks.... Your sink is gorgeous; I'd have that in my house any time. :D
Laura, before you get into the outdoor deck, you should definitly put the house itself on jacks to relieve pressure on the tires, as time passes, ground will compact and tires deflate, having jacks on the metal structure will prevent sagging and bad surprises 8)
The "DID WE EVEN CUT THIS PIECE" sequence was just comedy gold!! I literally cried with laughter when she started hammering down at 11:30!
Me too! And not with glee, but because I was relating so hard!... 😂🤗
🤣🤣🤣
stripping off because she got so flustered! totally relate
A larger, heavier hammer definitely would have helped -- perhaps even creating a bit of patina to memorablize the event.
“I thought of the back wall. I did not forget it this time.”

I actually thought she would use an induction plate, since she already has electricity inside and it would be safer

There are also switches which are actuated remotely by an air button. That would keep the water away from the electricity entirely.

As much as I loved your channel before I can't stress how much more I enjoy it with the addition of Felix.
I do "grown up" the same way, don't let it knock your confidence. We are all making it up as we go along.
Amazing job. You might find that the water splashes a lot and marks your walls - it's a long drop from such a high spigot. Shortening the vertical will fix that.
I use a similar drawer set up for a small convection/toaster oven - but I agree with the others that open flame and propane seems dangerous in that location
I LOL'd so hard when she threw her sketchpad off the table. You are such a joy to watch, Laura.
May I suggest checking out plumber's putty for sealing the drain cover to the sink? Learned this from a handyman. I hope this helps.
The sink is really cool. Never considered how to make one before, but this gives me so many ideas for when I build my camper. With this design, you could add a little drawer for sink accessories, like sponges and brushes, under the right side.
From one Laura to another..... YOU are unbelievably talented! It seems there is nothing you can't build. And to top it off you are humble and can laugh- and learn- when you make mistakes. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
The cinematography, the storytelling and the editing in this video truly show the amazing team that is Laura and Felix. Amazing video as always, one of the few creators I make sure to watch as soon as I can after release! What a day hahahah
Among all the elegant solutions you devise, that sink is outstanding. I'm not so sure about having gas that is not properly bunded and drained to outside but that sink is the dog's.
"Remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these: safety glasses!"
This vlog was hysterically funny. I think I had a big smile ear-to-ear the whole time stiff I was laughing at the time. Felix, your camera angles were so good and the editing was superb. Now I will use the one German word I know. GEIL!
Nice Laura. I think your stove might give you some issues, the flame will be to close to the wood for safety and comfort. I would suggest a pull out (as you have) with a lift mechanism too, to bring the stove level with the top. Keep on smiling.
You may want to put some sort of heat reflector on your sink so the gas stove doesn't burn it.
I think a small sheet of hammered copper would look nice.
this video was so funny. I can't tell you how much light these series are bringing to my life. Watching things get created by great people is a true joy. thanks so much for sharing
I feel like Felix was flexin’ on this one. Epic transitions and those gamble moves! Wow!
The comedic editing on this video was cracking me up!! Amazing work as always, Felix and Laura
Super cool sink!
Pro tip for the slide…
Take some wax paper and use it to slide (under your bum) a couple of times and you’ll notice a big difference once you’ve done this.
Standing applause - you freaking amaze me with your ingenuity and the joy you create.
Hi Laura,
you did a great job, really nice and functional.
When you weld copper pipes with tin, try not to point the flame at the welding point but make sure that the heat spreads towards the weld, so you will get better welds, so my plumber told me years ago: the flame direct raises the temperature of the junction too much and the tin penetrates badly and the flux burns before having done its job.
Bye and see you next time, hopefully with Liselotte Haus!
Looks good, although, I'd want to have a backsplash panel behind the tap to stop that wall getting mucky/wet maybe.
I have always thought you were adorable. However, the explanation of your meticulous need for detail is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks because I've been watching long enough to see those clips and they connect to other ones. One day I will be a quarter as cool as you if I'm lucky.
I like this method of finding out what you want in your space and then building it to fit your desires. Super nice way to design your space. And I've never seen someone *make* their own sink before...and faucet. Super cool. It's so nice that you and Felix play off of each other in such positive ways. These are the kinds of friendships that I want, too 🌹🌹🌹
You might need a heat shield on the edge of the sink by the stove, you could combine it with a metal lining on the underside of the sink, to protect the wood from any residual heat from the stove, when you push it back under after use (also gives you a little bit of protection if the stove is pushed under lit!). Otherwise it's bloody ace!!
Laura, if you're building a deck, why not give yourself a porch outside the door too? A covered space to keep the rain off the door, with a bench to the side that you can leave your boots under, and a little deck on the other side of the door with a couple chairs, and maybe even a hammock chair. Could be really nice!
This has been such a great project! Looks so nice! Thanks for your work!
I just have a few comments I want to get out there 😉:
- 2:21 Please wear a mask when sawing this stuff!🙏😂 For your own healths and our entertainments sake!
- 9:32 Really nice cut between the the next scenes! Big thanks to the editing team for your great work!
- 13:57 Maybe you should install some heat proof material on the bottom of the board just above the stove? The wood above the stove might get black after a while. Otherwise you might always need to let the metal cool down before pushing it back in.
Always fun watching your videos!
I love watching your channel, also being a somewhat crafty girl building stuff and renovating houses. Now I don't know why, but when I watch your weekly video, it drops my anxiety level so low that I nearly every time end up falling asleep, napping a bit and then having to rewind. Thanks for sharing your projects!
I would say the most controversial is the toilet and shower. How to handle the waste from the toilet, and how/if to shower has a lot more things to take in to consideration
So cool! I'm really impressed that you made a functioning sink so quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing Liese Lotte construction resume (and--fingers crossed--successfully completed)!
Laura i think the sink and faucet looks great, however i think it'd be a good idea to have an aerator/belufter attached. That way you will save a lot on water, which i think is especially nice when living in a house thats off the grid :)
It’s a beautiful sink, Laura! I love it that you made the faucet high. I look forward to seeing you resume building Liselotte. I hope the winter weather hasn’t done much damage to your house. Greetings from New Zealand.
Laura, I came across your channel 2 days back and really just in love with your work on the tiny house. I squealed with delight when the mitred corners of the sink fit perfectly! I love your child like enthusiasm and it helps that you are German- I love the way German engineering really is heaps ahead of most other countries so it’s a little bit of a projection 😅. Looking forward to more content from you.
I've enjoyed watching you with the tiny house, but boy oh boy am I looking forward to seeing progress on the big house again! Thanks for keeping it real.
Along with other safety tips, I thought the stove could use some sort of auto shut off when the drawer is closed. If it was on and the drawer was bumped close that could be a big problem. The fire proof lining could also be a good idea!
I just adore your videos. I do worry about your lungs though. You do lots of cutting and sanding without any respiratory protection and vacuum lines just aren’t enough. Please take care.
This is very validating for myself. I had just purchased an older home, built in 1890, that was a victim of being chopped up into 7 single flatts. But had since been gutted, rendering it devoid of any functioning amenities, a bathroom sink and toilet here and there, that kind of thing. However there were some undeniable up sides, all the windows and doors have original hardware, all of the wood trim, frames and base boards are unpainted. This is the practice of many slumlords and is almost unavoidable with these old homes where I'm at in Missouri, in some cases I've scrapped 6-7 layers of paint from woodwork at other houses I've worked on, literally changing the dimensions of windows.
How ever, I digress, this is about a sink..
One of the sinks happened to be an original 'farmhouse' style, so this was the obvious choice for the main sink. I was basically camping in the place at that point, so I've had very similar set-ups over the weeks and months. Of course things take much longer than anticipated especially on a solo-reno; at a certain point you might find yourself weighing the amount of time and effort with the convenience or quality of life improvement to be gained by the upgrading of temporary setups.. My grey water system was just one of the medium size blue plastic drums and naturally I'd let that thing get too full to want to drag to the nearest drain, so I'd end up doing the 'where's the old pitcher at' method, so one gallon at a time across the house to the toilet. now I had already figured out the water pump sink faucet, only after a few weeks of gravity fed frustrations, but I hadn't thought to do the same for the other end of the system. So I hooked up another pump, dropped it in the barrel, ran the hose over to the W.C. then could just clamp the hose aimed in the right direction and flip the switch. It was one of those, I'm both happy and embarrassed with myself; but it sure did make a noticeable difference in my work flow and task management.
Also my hot water at the time came from running the pex straight up to the 3rd floor and into the small attic (3ft tall) space, coiling up a few feet, then running it back down to the shower. during the winter it was a large Rubbermaid container mounted above the shower with a 'sou vee' element suspended inside..
Oh Laura. Your sink and the copper faucet are impossibly beautiful! So simple and elegant. You've done it again, and I'm not surprised, but I am continually amazed and impressed.
"Can you believe we did this in 2 days?" Yes, I can believe it. You are super intelligent and can make anything happen. Your tiny house is adorable! Kudos to you and to Felix for his excellent filming. 🙂
A concern I have with the sink here is that your surfaces appear to be entirely flat, it will make water pool up in corners instead of drain. I'd recommend adding a bit of an angle towards the drain when you add additional epoxy applications.
Slides are so much fun! When I was a kid we used to take our jumpers off and sit on them down the slide. They were often more slippy and faster down the slide than our trousers 😁
Geil! Such incredible work! I'll miss this series a lot, but what a job well done.
I hope you will consider posting quick updates here and there (as long as they aren't about water damage, as I think you've had enough of that for a lifetime already). I'm sure your mini toolbox will be put to good use tinkering and making the house even better, and I can't wait to see how!
I speak almost no German but languages are very interesting. I really appreciate these new bilingual episodes. It's cool to hear a reaction in someone's first language
Hi Laura, Long Time Subscriber and I always look forward EVERY week, for a new episode in whatever you are putting out. 1 tip if I may in soldering copper pipe, is that you heat the I.e elbow first and then apply the solder, the heated elbow acts as a vacuum when the solder is applied and will draw the solder in and make much better joint. Keep up the great very interesting work with your astonishing talent. @ everyone and to those which it applies, Happy Easter .
So, Ive been watching you for YEARS, was just watching this episode thinking "wow she really does have my dream workshop and has progressed so much beyond my own capabilities and is so pro now"...then you forgot to cut that piece, I think it was the panicked taking off of the jacket that got me the most, so good to see you are still. just a human and do dumb things just like me!
Amazing work. Thanks for all the videos over the years!
i'd recommend replacing the camp stove with an induction burner because using a camp stove inside puts you at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. at least get a carbon monoxide alarm and don't use the stove without opening windows
I believe she mentioned getting a CO2 alarm in another video ?
@@m.maclellan7147 Note Monoxide vs. Dioxide. Probably just a slip but the body tolerates excess of these two chemicals very differently.
CO is the worst one, but you are putting all the combustion gases and particles into the small airspace that you are living in. Every research I've seen has concluded indoor gas (or any fire really) is bad for your health. Even when not going, almost all the gas appliances tested leaked. Induction is the way to go if you can. Or at least a good range hood / extractor fan
I think you might want to highly-consider an externally-mounted washing station: a deep-basin with goose-neck-faucet a long-hosed-sprayer and a large-size wet-board draining-side; a foot-wash, an emergency-chemical-shower, an eye-wash-station, and a huge towel-rod for all the washed gear to hang. Just a big commercial sink for clean-up everything messy before retiring inside.
I have loved this series and look forward to all the future details. However, I’m super excited to get back to the big house. I can only imagine what your creativity will be like in such a large space.❤
Even when rushing, you're still a consummate professional about your construction techniques.
💜
How would you feel adding a fire proof lining where the burner slides in?
Awesome work!!
I thought the same thing, its a great build but having a flame burner that slides into a wood structure is worrying to me. I would replace it with a plug in induction burner personally
I was thinking it was going to be an electric stove (induction, probably) until I saw it, yes 😅
@@EcceJack hopefully that was just a placeholder 🙊
6:58 - UNF! That camerawork! So satisfying.
I just love the way Laura (with a little help from Felix) jumps over her hurdles when she gets to them, pure inspiration from all angles👍🏻 happy Easter Laura and co🐣
This is the first video I've seen from this channel but I wanted to point out that the plywood and other lumber used all looks to be very high quality. Dense in grain for the lumber and no pits or inconsistency for the plywood. Overall I'm just very impressed with the build and hope that sink and mini stove serve you well for years to come.
Watching you gives me so much confidence that I too can tackle projects that challenge my skill level instead of paying someone all the while wishing I could do it myself
Sink looks great! As a sailor who is always concerned about working with a limited water supply, I'd suggest replacing the toggle switch with a foot switch (or better yet manual foot pump) so that both your hands are free and you have better control over how long the pump runs.
Tiny house is looking amazing Laura ! Looking forward to seeing Lisolotte back in action. ❤
Love the build. Somewhat worried about the stove though. Placement and type. Personally, and I did work as a professional cook, would not use gas in a tiny house even with a well ventilated dedicated area which
I don’t see. Health risk besides the obvious flame safety concerns. A great choice is induction portable cooktop since you have electricity. Quickest cooking with temperature control. I use mine exclusively now for home use. Please also have a smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, again for your safety if not already in place. Keep up the builds
You are so resourceful, I love everything you do Laura!
Looks very good. A tap/faucet with just an on/off switch (no gradual control) and without the "filter" you usually have at the end of taps/faucets will probably use more water than you need. That means your water container will empty faster than it needs to.
Summer must be coming for you guys. I can't wait for the big house update.
🇦🇺
You are a powerhouse of ideas! 🎉Respect you are authentic and genuine! I appreciate your humor! Keep and building and laughing 😂! Thanks 🙏🏼
I'm actually surprised by the lack of dust collection. For someone that's concerned about safety this really surprises me. I saw no dust collection at all. Shame. I have a hard time believing Laura was ok breathing in concrete dust.
A lot of wood dust extractors have trouble with non-wood dust. Laura did have line connected to her sander. On the safety end yes, also she could wear glasses more often.
Laura panic installing a panel has far better fit than i have ever achieved haha. Outstanding work.
Love watching this process! I am a bit confused though. I had the impression (might be wrong) that the tiny house was to be a place to live while working on Lise Lotte and I assumed it would be moved to the house site. I see from all the plans to improve the area around the tiny house that it will be staying in its current location??
Dein zufriedenes und glückliches Gesicht wenn etwas perfekt passt, alleine dafür lohnt es sich, deine Arbeit und Felix Kamera jeden Sonntag anzuschauen. Mal abgesehen, dein Waschbecken sehr sehr cool! Schön das es bald mit Haus Liselotte weitergeht. Gruß aus Berlin, Sandra.
No dust mask when cutting. Ever?
flip the stove,hot air will burn the wood! awesome build,love it!
I wondered about “make a sink”, but you did it! Is the pump switch safe if it gets splashed with water? Maybe a sealed switch!
The Tiny House is a good transition to the Big house. It may take a few years to complete the Big house, so it is great that you have a comfortable place to live during renovation.

So much cutting and dust. Laura, be careful with your lungs! Wear a mask when it's dusty.
That is SO COOL. I love the colors copper takes on when you heat it; all the bright gold, copper, deep reddish-copper, blues, greens, pinks.... Your sink is gorgeous; I'd have that in my house any time. :D
