Family builds a unique off-grid outdoor shower out of hyperadobe earthbags and recycled glass bottle bricks. This was a fun little project that included our first exposed aggregate concrete floor, a drain that flows directly to our permaculture berm and swale (   • GREENING THE DESERT w/ RAINWATER? Off...  ), a ridiculous amount of glass bottle bricks, a multi day earthbag workshop, a portable outdoor water heater, and the fanciest shower head we’ve had in over a decade.
