The old Bathtub (Part 1)

When we brought the house, we desided that we had to redo the bathroom before we moved it.

This renovation included pulling EVERYTHING out of the bathroom and replacing everything.

It also left us with a lovely yellow 60's bathtub & basin.

We thought that maybe we could use them as flowerbeds, but we listed the tub & basin on the Trading Post (and also some doors) to see if we could sell them first. They didnt sell (although the doors did). So, we desided that we would figure out how to use them 'later'.

Bubbles hard at work
So, about two years later, Bubbles has started building a frame for them to sit in. This project is getting done now, as Bubbles has been slowly redoing the veggie patch behind the garage, and needed the bath out of there.

Bubbles has knocked together the bathtub frame, and the tub fits in perfectly.

The frame will have picket slats around it to hid the under part of the tub. The basin will sit higher then the tub, and sit under one of our outside taps.

We plan for the water from the basin will actually drain into the bath, to water the plants that will be in there.


More to come.....
