One More Thing, Gone

Back at the old place we didn't have a lot of those modern conveniences like here. Our shower facilities were outdoors. This did limit their usefulness to relatively warm weather. For the rest of the year it was the old tin tub. The entrance to the shower can be seen on the right.
Well, there was not much use for this any more, and it seemed that the materials (tin & treated lumber) could be put to better use as roofing for a porch at the new place.
This outdoor shower was not without it's charm. Here you can see a bit of the interior with the bench for sitting, for what ever reason one might wish to sit. Many summer evenings The Fuzz and His Sweetie would shower there by candle light. It was one of life's little pleasures. But of course now it was time to move on.
And so, the other day, The Fuzz loaded up a few appropriate tools and headed over to the house bent on destruction. He hoped, by the use of hammers and pry bars, to dismantle it with a minimum of damage, and bring the lumber and tin out to the woods to be reused on the porch roof.Here is a look at things with the tin gone. Really, it went pretty well. And here is a look at everything loaded up for the trip to the woods.

Maybe eventually you guys can rig one up out at the new place. The candlelight showers sound like they could be worth the effort!!
