Painting the back of the house

I guess like most people, I saved painting the back of the house for last. After all, who sees it?
Nice to have this job checked  off. The object in the lower left is the gas grill with it's cover.
Looking forward to creating a special tropical planted area back here one day.

The outdoor shower

There is nothing  like taking a hot shower under the clouds and trees . Something very basic and special happens feeling the breeze against your wet skin. Today I cut an opening in the guest room wall to expose the hot and cold water pipes . It was then just a matter of cutting into  the pipes and adding a few elbows and sending the water to the outside of the house.

Next was to solder all of the copper members together along with two shut-off valves and connect this assembly to the PVC water supply.

Looking forward to using it this evening after the glue has a chance to dry :0)

This will be great when coming home from the beach. Also a water station (hose bib) to rinse the beach sand off of your feet.
