We keep a plastic kitchen stool in the tub. We heat a kettle full of water, which we pour into a bucket which sits under the tap. We add water from the tap to adjust the temp. Now you scrub, using hot water from the bucket, soap and a sponge. Once u is all scrubbed you use a dipper to rinse yourself squeaky. So a nice bath with a gallon of water. The Japanese would climb into a hot tub and soak after doing this but we lack the hot tub (alas), so we just have to dry off and get dressed.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133236228952504852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31544381.post-61083589143636828122009-03-06T19:00:00.000-08:002009-03-06T19:00:00.000-08:00Okay Auntie...I'll bite...what's a Japanese style ...Okay Auntie...I'll bite...what's a Japanese style shower?<BR/><BR/>We're 100% on the gas (that's from driving 32 miles round trip a day to work) but we were only 3% on the heating fuel (propane) we also use our fireplace for heat. We are below average on everything else except the food. While we do garden and put lots in the freezer, we still purchase lots of fruits, vegetables and meats. interesting calculator site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
