This shower, built by my husband, Danny, has been in the works since last summer. I had the idea of the shower stall as a round wooden structure. "Possibly with a stone wall at the base," I said to my husband. I believe I may have caught him rolling his eyes at the stone wall suggestion. The plumber/slash/ Harley guy took my vision and made it a reality. The circular bands are old wagon wheels with 2 inch redwood boards (to which he also rolled his eyes) are screwed on to form the round stall. A job only for a big stong guy! He and Jack went through several drill bits in the process. They had to cut the circular bands to make the door. They cut them then welded the end pieces on one side and attached the door with hinges on the other. The shower floor is gravel with a large slab of stone over the gravel. It's fabulous! (and so is my handstand)

This was taken at dusk and as you can see I could not hold perfectly still for the camera, but pretty close. Jack asked us to all come outside to check out this cloud so I said (as I often have over the last year) "Let's get a handstand photo." I was hoping one of the bats swooping around our yard would accidently get caught in the photo! No such luck.
