Outdoor Shower Buddy

10 years ago

I thought I would share some photos of critters who also enjoy my outdoor shower.

First, here is the outside of the shower

Here is a shower buddy who showed up recently

And another one up in the rafters "laying out"

    Yes! And both of them are eating the mosquitoes that like to hang out in there.

    I kind of love this shower. What part of the country is it? Can you show us a few more pictures?

    GrannySmith, I'm in SE Texas. The outdoor shower keeps me from having to track in grass clippings, sawdust, and sweaty clothes from my hobbies and yard work. It also keeps the humidity outside. It's so wet in this part of the state, anything I can do to keep moisture outside is a plus. I have hot and cold water, plus a faucet for a garden hose. The drain goes to a underground tank I can water from when it gets dry in the summer. I'll post a few more photos,maybe this evening.

    I love your rustic plumbing! How clever! (And I love your visiting critters, too. You must not have a cat >^..^<.)

    LOL!, no, no cats. I like cats but too many side issues to deal with.


    And thanks for the kind comments. It was a while in the making but it was a learning experience and I LOVE it!

    John, I like it. This looks familiar. Did you post a build thread for this shower a while ago? Nice work!

    Looks familiar to me too. Was this a project you built 3-4 years ago? And more recently showing the fixtures?

  • 10 years ago

    Yes, it's the same shower....seems like I had posted photos of the fixtures in that older thread. Now, I'm thinking more along the lines of other things to add to the interior. I have a couple of aloe plants that do very well in the subdued light. Oh, I added the roof last year to keep the cold northers out in the winter. I preferred to leave the roof open but it was just more practical with a roof...also keeps leaves out of the floor drain.

    the outdoor setup looks so unique! how long did this project take?

  • 10 years ago

    I like the roof :)

    Maykke, Oh man, I forget how long the project took...maybe two months? I had the slab poured earlier by contractors who did a porch slab for me. The mortar work was slow for me since I didn't have any experience laying stone. It took two phases since the inner wall is cinder block and the outer wall is limestone. I did the cinder blocks first since they have a good square, regular shape and were easier to learn the techniques.
