Very nice Tim. I did take a look and I am sure it will look fantastic with the New England setting it will reside in!

Cutter, I'm not sure of your location but by the postings I would say not in the South. However, I'm building a barn at the present time and I'm having the plumber put in an outdoor shower. It may never get hot enough in your location but I used to live in Fairfield County in Connecticut and we had some of those days where one would have been nice. I'm certainly going to use one in East Texas.

Well Farmhouse, you are correct, I am in upstate NY. The shower idea is something I have kicked around and what I plan on doing is installing one on the back of the house. I have a deck there just abaft of my inground pool. After a hard day's work, I will strip off the dirty clothes and use the hose to wash before I jump in. That works fine if the sun is out and has heated the 150' coil, nice and warm until it is used up. I can easily run the shower from the laundry room to the deck and build an attractive wood enclosure. The deck is 6" off the ground so I don't even need to install a drain, it will run between the slats, kind of how my old cottage was built in the 40's for the grey water. The barn pictures are on this site if you are interested.

I remember wash sheds when I was a kid visiting my farming cousins. Wash-sheds were standard. We build a 10' x 10' wash shed last summer because the 40' construction trailer at our camp is too small for a shower.
The shed is on stilts so water will drain into our raised gray-water pit. In our case that will keep inspector Bob happier if he comes visiting, but the issue may not be relevant for everybody.
At the moment, we're using a large laundry tub and heat well water with a propane cooker (boy those cookers sure heat water fast). I haven't figured out if it's worth putting a gravity fed solar heated tank overhead, but I do have to figure how to slope the floor so it completely drains. With or without a shower, wash sheds are truly wonderful things to have. Just wonder around inside and splash cool or hot water around everywhere, which ever is best. I'd recommend building one to most anybody. After it was done, the guy who did most of the carpentry said ‘Boy I sure we’d build one of these at our camp.’ The guys get a little ripe towards the end of moose season I guess.

That is a great camp idea Tom. I am leaning towards a large shower stall sized area with a seat and shower head. This will serve as a changing room for pool guests that don't want to go in the house as well as a way for me to rinse off before jumping in. I plan on building it when I remodel the deck, hopefully next year but who knows. I want it to look attractive and to enhance the pool/deck area when completed.
