The exterior of the shower will be covered with the debarked exteriors of the milled trees from on site. The walls will be insulated - either with styrofoam reclaimed from bike shops or with mylar coated bubble wrap I reclaimed a few years ago from Whole Foods Floral and Produce Department. The braces will be removed once both doors have been hung. To take full advantage of the extra height and to add stability, a pull up bar will be hung inside the shower. This will help use up all remaining energy at the end of each day.
In the background, to the let you can see one of the 260 gallon water tanks, which we places on a shelf we dug out of the hillside-we used a trunk on the downhill side which we packed with dirt, clay and rocks to form a solid foundation. As I write this the tank is being filled with water from the spring.
