DIY Outdoor Shower with Solar Hot Water & Lights
Updated with Cheap Night Lights
We added another enhancement to our outdoor shower. Solar lights! These things are only 99 cents and they make perfect night lights for showering after dark. Now we don't have to worry about stepping on those scorpions or snakes! We bought several to circle the shower 
area and wired each one to the tops of the mesquite poles. It lights up just enough to see everything including the floor where those night creatures lurk.

One of the first building projects around here was our outdoor shower. It's a necessity for living in the baking hot summers of the Southwest. And, if you have ever longed to play in the sprinklers as an adult, here's how to do so in a dignified way. These videos show the progressive building of our outdoor shower in reverse order:

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
