A shower with a view!

During the summer months, when the weather is right, we are using the bath house, not only for the occasional evening hot tub, or the morning coffee at the table, but also for our daily showers.  We use solar shower bags hung in the bath house via a rope and pulley attached at the peak of the ceiling and let gravity to it's thing.  We have 2 shower bags now, a 2.5 gallon and a 3.5 gallon.  Each is enough for a shower, plus a bit more.  The larger is nice when you want to just enjoy it all a bit more, languishing in the warm water.  We also use these to rinse off before and after the hot tub.  We put the entire bag in the hot tub to warm it up if the sun isn't strong or we are refilling a bag.  The bags warm up pretty fast this way.

The view from the bath house is pretty great with lots of sky and trees because the bath house is about the height of the roof of the main house.  In this picture you can see the hot tub with it's lid on, the door with the stained glass window set in it and the new table and bench arrangement in front of the just added colored glass window border.  You can also see the solar shower bag hanging at the top of the frame.  It is all really simple and yet quite lovely to experience.  It makes bath time fun!

garden bench

From the pine tree that we took down a few years ago, I have made a bench to sit on in the garden.

Both sheds are made from reclaimed wood and nails.
