The Turning of the Tap

We've really done it now - gone from electricity to honest to goodness, clean running, water...from a tap....when you turn the faucet. COOL!
Yep, if there's one thing this city girl has seriously missed these many moons out in the woods, it's been that wonderful thing called a shower. Now, we have our little gravity fed solar shower, and have become experts at sponge baths in the winter time, but a luxurious, long, hot, shower has just not been possible...until (almost) now.

The well is in, the pipes have been run and at the cabin, the turn of a faucet brings beautiful clear well water on demand. Now, we just need to add the on-demand propane heater and build a bathroom, and my dream of an endless (well, endless til the propane runs out) hot shower is on the horizon.

Trust me, you'll know when that happens, cause I'll be wandering around town with a big old smile on my face and the pruniest skin you've ever seen - but it will be the cleanest pruniest skin you'll ever see.
