AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF WORK

I have been very busy since the last update and only have a short amount of time to do this update, so it will be brief.

The last bit of work needed to move in was a working shower. While we can all do other bathroomly(a real word😁😂) duties outside, or on a sealed bucket(on the colder days) for the time being until the toilet system is in place.

So I started by building the floor and framing in the walls for the bathroom.

*Floor finished...

*And the walls....sorry for the terrible night pictures...but it's been long days working and dark when I finish.

THE SHOWER

With the floors and walls framed, I installed the insulation and went to work on the shower stall.

First I glued a couple pieces of water proof plastic panels to the walls to ensure the water stays where it's supposed to. Then I installed the base for the shower.

THEN THE DRAIN

This was the worst part of the install....crawling back under the house and fighting the insulation to install the drain pipes.😁

*The easy part was starting the plumbing from the inside.

*Underneath...not so much fun.🤣😂

*But i stayed at it and the progress slowly started.

*This is the end of the line for now...

*A quick test run revealed everything was working as planned.

THE WATER FOR THE SHOWER

As anyone who's been following our journey knows, we do not have any water hook ups here and rely completely on our spring for water. So for a shower to be taken required a little thought on how to do it....this is what I came up with.

*The shower water bucket.

It's simplicity at its best. It is no more then a camp shower bag on a bucket. We have to fill the bag and warm the water to take a shower. It's not too much work really, and I would know, as upon completion I couldn't wait to take my first shower in the cabin.

*Here I am, fresh from the shower.😁

CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN IS A GO!

We put our Christmas tree up yesterday and I have decided to halt work(mostly) until after Christmas. I think it will feel good to take a short break. My body(and mind) need it.
