Plan No. 713. Shower Bath
A very simple, convenient and cheap arrangement for a home-made shower bath has been built by a woman. Take a 2-gallon tin bucket, punch a hole in the bottom of it, and solder in the opening a piece of metal piping 2 inches long. Attach to the pipe a 4-foot length of rubber tube, with a sprayer from a garden watering-pot on the end. Tie to the handle of the bucket a piece of rope and run the latter through a staple driven into a wall at a suitable height, thus making a pulley by which the bucket can be raised or lowered to meet the convenience of the person using the shower. Drive a hook below the staple so that the rope can be fastened to it to hold the bucket in place. A good-size wash tub placed beneath the bucket will serve for the person to stand in. To cut off the water a clothespin pinched on to the rubber tube will do. The cost of the shower bath will be as follows:
| 2-gallon tin bucket | .50 |
| 12 feet of rope | .07 |
| Rubber tube and connections | 1.50 |
| Piping | .10 |
| Stock | .10 |
| Staple | .10 |
| 1.87 |
