Just snuck into the vacant apartment next door to my trailer. BEST SHOWER EVER. (I was afraid that my clothes were going to hide from me I was so dirty.)
 
<P>I don't know why I didn't think of this before; or I have never read about this anywhere. I was filling up with petrol at a truck stop and needed to use the loo, and on my way I found that they had showers too! I looked around and there was nothing about paying for a shower. So I tentatively checked that the hot water ran and grabbed my shower kit. (Which now lives in my car.) and&nbsp;took a free shower. I'll defiantly be doing this again! It was hot and beautiful and didn't have some of the drawbacks a shower at a gym or a mates place. The only thing it didn't have was a power point for my hair dryer. XD<BR><BR>In other shower news, I went to a plumbing place, said I needed a 'drain' and hose for my horse troth because when it came time to clean it, I couldn't be bothered to bucket water out of it any more. It was much easier to make out that it was for the water for my horses rather than explaining that I use a horse feeder to bath in.<BR><BR>So I got a 'plug' pipe and 'drain' Total cost was $30 (I"ll post up pics later so you can see what I mean, its not your typical shower drain ect.)<BR><BR>MY PLAN<BR><BR>--I've got a shipping pellet which my troth (tub, feeder, what ever you want to call it.) sits on. <BR>--Ill be attaching a backboard to it.<BR>--Attaching the shower rose on to that.<BR>--drill a hole in the troth and attach the drain, then attach the pipe, feed the pipe through the pellet and out the door of my tent.<BR>--Attaching shower to a car 'power pack' aka 'jump starter.'<BR>--Use urn to boil water.<BR>--add water to bath<BR>--and the water will cycle from the bather up into the shower head and down into that bath.<BR><BR><BR>I hope that wasn't too confusing, again ill attach pics when&nbsp;I can.</P>

Hi sox and nik, thank you so much for reading my posts. It has it lows but I try to always push on. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">
 
I love my new home. But what I miss most is a real shower and toilet. Can't wait till I save the money for a hot water system so I can have real shower at least. And then to ask my landlord how he feels about me having a shipping container. XD fingers crossed
