Not quite a wet bath, but close. Our composting toilet was built over the rear wheel hub, with a step in front of it. To get to that, you have to walk through the shower space. But when we shower,...

We have a 1969 Bluebird with probably the original engine (we no longer trust anything the guys we bought it from told us, it for sure was NOT a rebuilt 305).

Hardwood floors for us. We have a cat so hardwood floors are easier to clean up when hairballs occur (that's also why we have a vinyl tablecloth on the bed!). I dislike carpets anyway. Non carpeted...
