I Bought an Abandoned House on a Remote Island – Installing a Propane Shower - Skote Outdoors Newfoundland

Jun 29, 2025

Kelly gets right to work, pulling out an old wall and countertop, then laying down some temporary floors and sealing things up with a fresh new wall. It’s not permanent, but it’s a big step forward in getting a real bathroom up and running. From there, we roll right into the next challenge — trying to install an off-grid propane shower without the right fittings. It’s a bit of a hillbilly operation, and after a whole lot of trial and error... we still don’t get it working. That’s island life sometimes — move on, regroup, and keep going. Out with the animals, we realize our current setup isn’t cutting it. The goats and sheep need more space, so we start building a second pasture to kick off proper rotational grazing. Our friend Cameron comes out to lend a hand with the fencing, and we start putting together a system that’ll give the land time to recover and the animals room to roam. We finish the week on a different note — Kelly loads up her concert gear in a cart behind the trike and hauls it across the island to Gord’s patio, where she sets up for her first live show of the season. She ends the day with a little music rehearsal and a quiet moment to share it with us. Thanks for following along — through every project, misstep, and milestone. It all adds up to something good.
