I could never run a tv station

I have no clue what people are interested in. Here I was thinking the outdoor shower was just some crazy idea. But apparently I'm not the only one with a desire to bathe outdoors. I'll have to chronicle this one more closely. I'll take some pictures tonight, but for now a little background on the project.

1. This did not come about without a good deal of bargaining and pleading on my part, as I am the only one in the house who does not look at the idea as insanity, and as such it is one of those things I get to work on in my "spare time." Of which I have little to none. Due to the aforementioned official adoption, we are having a baptism/adoption party on May 17th. Spring, as most gardening/landscaping folks will tell you is always a busy time. This creates the perfect storm of work for the next 3 weeks. Therefore, construction will largely be a board nailed in here and there when no one is looking...Thats right. This one is being built ninja style.

2. As for design... It will draw water in from the hose spigot right around the corner (like I said. Perfect spot). You're probably thinking "Holy H311! thats a cold shower." Watch your mouth please, this is a family friendly site. I plan on running a coil of black hose up to the roof before it gets to the shower nozzle. But which side of the roof, since the peak of the house runs north-south. Morning or night. I got to thinking. When am I most likely to use an outdoor shower...likely after working outdoors...meaning evening. The spot for the shower sits on the evening side of the house. Like I said...perfect. What about the wastewater? Well that part I havent got totally ironed out. And by that I mean I have a workable solution for now. I have some leftover pvc pipe that should work well enough to divert the water over to a 1'x20' strip of stone we laid down as a divider between the yard and the herb sanctuary/pond. It should be deep enough to to take a gallon at a time without flooding. In the future I'd love to see a reedbed there with a higher capacity...being used by the graywater from the house. But baby steps...first I have to get certain factions to accept and enjoy the outdoor shower first.
