Nice outdoor shower Jon! I have also been doing the “modified” cold shower routine. I start with a warm and then go cold, probably not as effective. I hope you have been practicing your hammer flip for Maker Camp. Hope to see you there!

Yeah buying bags of gravel vs bulk is about 3x the cost but unfortunately that’s the pain of smaller projects. Most landscape supply places won’t deliver less than 3 cu yds so it’s either buy bagged or get your truck bed trashed picking it up yourself.
@stingray427man2 ай бұрын
I remember picking up my 1st Truck bed full of white river rock, threw in a bed comforter to semi protect the bed and make it easy to clean up. Fckt up the math and the loader bottomed my suspension 😂.
@JonPetersArtHome2 ай бұрын
I did think about having the stone delivered… But then there was a delivery charge and the shoveling to think about. But for sure, much cheaper to buy the stone in bulk 👍

Interesting use of wax and then propane it into end grain. I would think the propane would melt off wax and open up the end grains. I’ve always used a slight layer of glue and sometimes a second coat to harden it up and close off all grain.
@JonPetersArtHome2 ай бұрын
The propane torch helps to suck the wax deep into the wood pores.
@richm91572 ай бұрын
The shower looks great ! Aside from melting the beeswax, does using a torch help seal the end grain at all ? Great video 🙂

True story: Here in LA, I have an outdoor shower under a tree, and when I my head was all soaped up and my eyes closed, I heard a thump next to me. I knew immediately it was a king snake that had dropped out of the tree. I don’t know if I have ever felt more vulnerable in my life. By the way, guys, if you are not building a shower that will be seen by the public, you could do this a lot cheaper with a $30 Waterpic showerhead, galvanized pipe from Home Depot, fake wood boards, and Pex. I did buy a hot-cold mixer online for maybe $40. I also installed a ball we shut off between the showerhead and the mixer, so I can leave the hot/cold mix the way I like it during any given shower. (And for a couple hundred bucks, you can buy a 2.5 gallon 110v water heater.) I probably spent $320. My neighbors, meantime, spent probably $1000 on solid plumbing, redwood enclosure, a copper showerhead, etc., and their’s only cold water. But yes, it looks better.
@JonPetersArtHome2 ай бұрын
My son did something like that and it really works great. We have hot and cold water that we plumbed in about 23 years ago so the cost was only for the materials I needed for the platform.. crazy how expensive things are I can’t imagine building a deck right now.
