Rub-A-Dub-Dub

I bought a bath tub!
Furthering on my Home Improvement fad, I bought a bath tub for $50. Someone had advertised it on the noticeboard in town and I snapped it up. I *love* having a bath, and I've been missing it.
So, with Littletree away at her first sleepover, Purple and I got to work on setting it up.

Again I forgot to take progress photos, but I started with clearning a little bit of the rainforest just at the back of the house. Then we carried the tub and put it in place. A few wooden boards were nailed together to keep it stable and in place, and i dug a little drain which I filled with gravel collected from the roadside. We had an old bed base lying around, which made a perfect deck and voila! it looks fantastic :)

Of course i had to test it out, and we managed to rig up a funnel on the shower, with a bit of hose attached that almost made it into the tub. We filled buckets and tipped the hot water in, I guess it was about 20 minutes to fill it up, once we had the system organised.

AHHHHHhhhhhh :D

  1. That looks so cool. I would really love to have an outdoor bath, I have this picture of bathing in the moonlight, surrounded by lots of candles. It's obviously summer in my dream as well, lol!

  5. I'm happy for you.

    We LOVE our outdoor tub! They are free here all the time because in America everyone redoes their house every 2 years.

    Will you go solar?
