The bathroom in our house, as you remember, needed to be gutted. Our bathroom, after 6 weeks, is STILL gutted. Thanks to a series of setbacks, including both waiting on bureaucracy to do it's job and send an inspector out, and 7 days of MC being MIA, we are living with no working bathroom on the main level. In the lower level there is a bathroom, however it only contains a toilet and a sink. It is also located at the furthest possible point from our bedroom which makes for a bad middle of the night bathroom.
After only 5 days of living in our house, it was apparent that this whole no way to bathe thing was going to be trickier than we first anticipated. While we are creative and resourceful enough to find ways to shower at friends houses or places such as at 24 hr fitness... this is clearly something that while funny at first, loses it's charm after oh.... 5 days.
We convinced MC to hook up the toilet temporarily, and to hook the bathtub to a drain so that we could at least have a draining bathtub, even if it wasn't hooked up to any other plumbing.
This has led to a more convenient, in ways, but much more archaic mode of bathing. We have taken to boiling pots of water on the stove and then filling the bathtub with enough water to even constitute calling it a bath and managing to clean off before the water's temperature plunges. Without heat, and considering the fact that it is November and our bathroom is gutted and has no insulation, this happens rather quickly.
