My Outdoor Shower Turned Into a Pond-Side Fortress

In this video, I’m buttoning up a bunch of little projects around the outdoor shower and barn lot: running power, setting up outlets, mounting a retractable electric cord reel, connecting hose reels, adding quick-connect fittings, using softened water for the electric pressure washer, testing the reach of everything, and talking through what still needs to happen with drainage, privacy trees, gates, and the future path through the area. This is one of those projects that started simple and slowly turned into a full-blown setup — which, honestly, is pretty much how things go around here.
