How to build a modern outdoor shower

[@charlesmorgan2897]

Love my Fridays thanks to Meike's hard work! Thanks for another great build.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thank you for stopping by Charles! Have a great weekend

[@edgarfeinberg]

Thanks!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

That’s so nice of you! Thank you!!

[@rockyfesta5099]

Nice project, like they way it looks! I used paver pads when I did my gazebo. Each pad eliminated 5 bags of sand each. Both big stores carry them, but for whatever reason they are different sizes made by the same company. For the next bigger project you do!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Its always so misleading to look at this big heavy bags. It always makes me think, one bag must be enough for a whole project and then you empty one and it looks like nothing 🤣

[@robertkerby2581]

Great job at building an outdoor shower! I especially liked the white rock that you threw around the base as Drainage! Well done, Ms. Meike!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thanks a bunch! Glad you like the design

[@canadude6401]

Clever design, and one of the nicest outdoor showers I have ever seen. Smart to use patio stones...nothing worse than standing in mud or on sharp gravel! It's amazing the breadth of knowledge you have. You seemed to have found a real passion!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

That’s such a sweet comment! Thank you very much for your kind words. Glad you like the shower build and my channel content. I’m really happy with the work I’m doing and it brings me much joy, so thank you for watching and your support ☺️

[@canadude6401]

@@WhatMeikeMakes I just love to see people living out their dream...Many of us are on a journey to find their elusive passion....can I ask, how did you find it? at childhood? did you stumble upon it by accident?

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

It’s always been my hobby since childhood. I always love to built things and I was always better with my hands. I worked hard in my career to be able to afford the farm and now I soak it all in and enjoy every moment of it

[@canadude6401]

@@WhatMeikeMakes Oh cool to know the back story of your passion. What career did you have? was it creative as well?

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

The total opposite. I always felt like I had to give back to the community so I had a career in that capacity. Make the world a better place, you know. 😊 but a few months ago I felt like I did my part and it was time to follow my dreams. And that’s what brought me to my farm

Bonjour Meike. La vidéo du vendredi est toujours un pur bonheur. C'est tout de même la première fois que je vois quelqu'un commencer la construction d'une douche à l'aide d'un tracteur. Une fois encore vous nous offrez une réalisation de qualité. Simple et efficace. Merci Meike. Bonne continuation. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés. Olivier.

This is so cool! The attention to detail made it come out beautiful. 😯

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thank you so much, glad you like the shower built!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Your shower came out great. You can make a solution of vinegar and steel wool or other metal filings that when brushed on pressure treated wood will age it to a gray color within hours. Works great for adding to a board fence.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Glad you like the shower built thanks for the tip Tom.

[@letmeplay1song]

Gute Arbeit Meike. Die dusche sieht sehr gut aus.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Vielen Lieben Dank!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Very cool idea, especially since it's likely only cold water! LOL I think I would have used a smoother rock for the perimeter, but otherwise, great build.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Hey Rob, thanks a lot. Its very refreshing since the temperatures have been ridiculous hot. I'm wearing sunblock 100 and still get sunburned super quick. The shower is so refreshing. I was looking for river rocks but they were much more expensive. I wanted to build it on a Budget. Those stones were the cheapest in white color.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

@@WhatMeikeMakes Budget is always the thing, right. Plus you can always swap the rocks out later if you want. But yeah, great idea in such a hot locale. Cheers.

[@TheGripper74]

Great job, as always. The neighbours are going to enjoy watching you use that, Meike! Don't think their wives will be so happy though! 😉🤣🤣😘😘😘

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

I made sure to full privacy at this location 😉

[@pmwalt22]

Nice -- I liek the design of the water drainage system, clever. I like the look of the wood on the shower stand too Any thought to drainage stand/walking board (duck bills boards) outside of the shower so after your done you're not waling in the sand/dirt?

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Glad you like my built. I've been thinking about different options for that. I think I will just end up growing grass and maybe adding a few more stepping stones. Currently I just have a pair of slippers waiting me to wear after my rinse.

[@thines01a]

These videos make Friday even better!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikekelly9851]

You're so creative, have many great ideas. Did you learn my trial & error or did someone coach you?

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

I learned a lot from my dad and grandfather but anything else was lots of trial and error

[@darrenwhite3362]

Hi Meike I like the shower base idea it should drain well in the sand . Is it getting any side panels or a towel hanger ? Something that will keep me from trying to buy the lot next to yours 😉

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Haha, I made sure I have full privacy before I decided on the location. So no side panels needed. I want to feel fully connected and immersed in nature when I take a rinse 😁

[@simjai1000]

[@OOO0Oo00OOO0Oo0]

Hmja, und wo kriegst du jetzt das Wasser her? Und wäre es nicht sinnvoller gewesen das Holz erst zu versiegeln und dann anzubauen? Bis auf welche Körnung schleifst du an?

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

I get my water from a well, I installed a second water pipe to tap into it. If you like you can seal the wood first but that usually ends up getting a bunch of grass stuff to the wet stain since I have so much grass and sand here. So I rather built first, so it’s off the ground. I sand as much as the instructions on the stain say. I think this one was 120
