Wood-fired/Solar Shower Almost Ready

We were recently given an old wood-powered water heater, of german design, and this has now been installed in the compost toilet block. Its a fantastic device, a woodburner under a large tank of water:

In the summer the water will be heated in a coil of black pipe on the roof. We’ve been busy tiling and grouting the shower area, finishing a mosaic that was started by wwoofers last summer, and we are now almost ready to go, just a little grouting left to do. Cant wait to try out the water heater!

Stumble it!
