I'm Pretty Sure I'll Never Own Another House

But if I take the plunge, especially out here, I will want an outdoor shower.

For a bit in the late 80's-early 90's, my parents owned a vacation home at the NC Outer Banks. This was a miserable experience except for the fact we had an outdoor shower. No, not the ocean access steps away, crabbing, bewitching views of dolphin pods. Owning a vacation home is a particular kind of self-deprivation--everything is much nicer than what you have at home, and has to be kept so, requires a lot of worry, and is done for people you will never meet. Screw that, in my opinion.

But you cannot imagine the sensual delight of an outdoor shower unless you've experienced it: the naughtiness of being nakey outside, the juxtaposition of hot water and cold air (or hot air and cold water) and fresh air.

And environmentally conscious too!
