Jungle Shower!

So while I should have been busy listing and posting all my new treasures I've created on my Etsy site I was instead doing this....
 This is our new jungle shower!  Let me fist start off by explaining that this wall of the house can be seen on two different streets.  The shower was put in...and used...with no walls.  Now the owner might have been ok with his white backside glowing in the moonlight but I was not.  The solution?  We weaved together guava saplings and filled in with palm fronds to create the perfect jungle shower!  This project took about 4 to 5 hours in all ( with a siesta in between of course).  The result was being able to stand back and admire our handiwork as well as being able to take a nice cool shower in the middle of a warm Hawaiian day without any backsides showing..Hooray!

BEFORE:
  The walls that were woven together with guava saplings:


Tada!  After weaving in the palm fronds...Not to shabby if I say so myself.

Finally the finished product..
So get out there and build something!!!
