    Yeah, just get everything you need to survive somehow running in these two rooms and take it from there.
    I did the same thing when I move into my fixer upper. My first shower was the old shower tub thrown in the basement, next to the washing machine. Believe me, you will get loads more done when you sleep right next to the work to do 😅
    I remember almost working through some nights, falling into bed when it was already getting light again...
    Wish you the best, don't overdo it...😁

    Your mom is a legend and a hero for helping you out in the kitchen. So for the shower, I was wondering if u could get one of those kiddie pools, round and put under the bucket? so if the water goes out it would go in the pool. Just a thought. Congrats on moving into the house!!!

    What an ingenious idea! Very impressive for sure. Loved your camping weekend videos…camping out in your new home will be a cakewalk, and not having to pay rent for an apartment anymore will be icing on the cake!

    Super cool! That'll work great. The key is you're in the house full time, no rent pmt, no storage pmt. Lived in 1-room during my 1.5yr self-demo so I get it. If you're an outdoors person/camper it really isn't a big deal at all.

    Mom was great to help. I buy paint at the hardware store from the mis tint shelf. Only if the color is neutral and i like it. Usually 5 to 10 bucks per gallon. Just make sure it's egg shell or satin. Unless its for bathroom or trim.

    🤔 Ok I have a better idea. Dog collapsable pool with drain( they are about a foot deep much easier to step out of), holla hoop strung to the ceiling with shower curtain strung on it. Shower wand with shut off button. Hold the shower nozzle instead of handing it. Attach hose to drain on pool but cap off the end so you can drain into a buckle and empty in a couple loads 🤷🏻‍♀️

    A temporary camper would be optimal while you are rehabbing. You can pick up a handyman's special for really cheap , or bid on one at insurance auction. Just would have to tap your power, water and sewer.

    Neat shower. Back in the day, we'd have a little stool to sit on and a bucket of water and a cup/pitcher to take a "shower" with. Even when we had a full western bath with shower my dad would still use the bucket and cup in the bathtub. :D

    should have a cutoff at the shower head. then you could take a navy shower and use a lot less water. also if you had 3/4" emt conduit you could have bent that for the top of the shower and used normal curtain hangers.

      Many women are very skilled with tools and creative solutions, and have no problem roughing it. We date/marry guys that appreciate that about us. We love to go backpacking and build our own outbuildings, and do our own repairs. Because it saves money, because we can, and because we like to do these things. We watch this channel because it is interesting to us to watch the problem solving. I might have to dump the tub of water more often due to its weight, but I would totally use the shower! While I was building one with a drain of course, lol!
