The only reason it is simple is because I wanted to build it mostly out of cull and recycled lumber. I tried to keep a budget of under $100 but blew that by about 80 bucks. So now I can say it was under $200. <br />It will be used if needed or not. This bathhouse is to lessen the load on the well, septic system and the water heater during the summer months. <br />I do have it connected to the well right now but as soon as I can it will connected to the rain water harvest system.<br />I wanted the solar heated floors and all that but I chose simplicity. <br />Thank you for the comment.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-50326808750705851072012-01-16T13:58:29.756-06:002012-01-16T13:58:29.756-06:00Pretty neat, might come in real handy one day soon...Pretty neat, might come in real handy one day soon.

Plus, if someone wanted to build one then they are alright in my book and I would try and help as much as I can. Good thought though. <br />What's next? Well I need to to the signs for it and add the rugs plus do some decor work on the inside but the wife has been on me to build her screen door for the back sliding door to keep the flies out and then I have to get some shade on the gardens.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-81072782433621309762012-01-16T08:03:28.070-06:002012-01-16T08:03:28.070-06:00Thank you Stephen.

There's something to be said for having your bathing facilities away from the main house. I've been thinking about building a cistern and putting in a bath/wash house myself. That may be as far as it gets, though!Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-28148966574647751702012-01-15T21:43:22.277-06:002012-01-15T21:43:22.277-06:00So am I, great job. you should draw up plans for s...So am I, great job. you should draw up plans for something like this,(but make some changes as yours is one of a kind) and sell it to people who may want to build one.<br /><br />What is next on the drawing board??Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-67049599363797309112012-01-15T20:47:17.118-06:002012-01-15T20:47:17.118-06:00What a really nice job you've done.
