Yeah, actually this is possibly one of the most stupid things
I'm surprised it hasn't been pulled apart yet
I'm hoping they've actually done something about this though, even a shitty trench as a run off
If the shower is used with any regularity, (strong doubt but lets pretend they aren't what we know them to be)
and even if it's used only once in a blue moon, it's pretty dumb to have a pool of grey water where you live.
The water will start pooling and the entrance to the shower will be muddy and pretty unappealing quite quickly
Look at the pics, I think the shower may be on the other side to the garden, but no matter, they have chairs and that by the shower, so it's obviously a used space
The ground is compacted with lots of dust and shit, the water will sit and it will get pretty rank
But when it all gets too muddy, they'll throw some boards and planks down to cover it
Lazy fucking half ass stoners
It's so fucking regressive and again, belligerent, to do pig headed shit like this
It's ignoring basic principles that have been around for thousands of years
There are some easy solutions.
Basic:
Dig a hole beneath, fill it with shingle and cover over
Shape the land around so it all falls to the soakaway
Carry on as you are
Bit more advanced:
Buy, find, get a shower tray, you need something very basic, they cost fuck all.
Fit a trap that costs cents and some 32mm pipe and send the water away.
Run the pipe above or below ground, except for the ideal solution it doesn't matter how you do it, as long as it has a fall.
Now once you've sent the water away, you either just let it go somewhere away from circulation spaces and where you live, or you do like above and build a soakaway
OR, MISTER FUCKING PERMACULTURIST JARROD
You have the shower tray and the pipe above ground, but you collect your run-off and use it in the garden you have conveniently nearby,
larping bloody spergs

Edit: The sheet board is OSB, orientated strand board, a cheaper alternative to plywood, it's pretty waterproof and this looks like it's been painted which will help seal the surface. It's going to get mouldy and look like shit but in these conditions it may last a season or two?
I reckon they'll abandon this thing long before it's fucked through use (fucked through poor workmanship is another matter), their attention span seems short
Wasn't Jarrod just a base brat who then went with his sister to a military junior college or school?
But when it came to join the big boys and stop playing child soldier, they said lolno you're a fucking sped mate
And he's been permanently raging ever since
