Master Bath
The floor is ordinary Terra Cotta tile with a 300 watt electric heat mat under it, that we use only in the coldest months to keep the floor from feeling cold.
The window trim is sustainably harvested pine.
When we travel, we use our shower as a automatic plant watering system
(left), which is just a short drip irrigation system. Our
shower tile is grouted with an epoxy grout, so is less prone (but not immune) to mold problems.
We opted for a sauna instead of a bathtub, because all the heat goes to the
house, and it is just as good for stretching achy muscles.
Our Sauna is made largely out of reclaimed cedar that came from the ceiling of a
house that was being demolished.
