tubbing

They pump water from the nearby lake into this tub and heat it completely with a submersible wood stove.  Yep, that’s what I said:  the wood stove is mostly under water and heats things up quite nicely, summer or winter.  I prefer about 107 degrees Farenheit; the kids like it a few degrees cooler.   

Now that’s what I call living off the land.  Or lake. 

How do you enjoy life’s little luxuries?
