1st TIP OF THE DAY: There are very few constants in the world of finances – but one of those constants is that people need houses to live in.  Putting money into your home, such as a master bathroom renovation, is a sure investment, mush more than the fickle world of the stock market, vehicles or even collectables.  And, not only is this investment good for your future finances, but it has practical results for you in a more pleasant bathroom to relax and be yourself in.

Bathroom Remodeling Tools For Survivalists

You’re stuck in the middle of the wilderness from accident or choice. Although you are learning very quickly about your resilience and your appreciation for nature, you still have to go to the bathroom. When you have been raised with indoor plumbing, being out in the woods and suddenly having to go can come as a bit of a shock. But our ancestors have been making outdoor bathrooms for millions of years. Even then, they wanted to do some remodeling. If you are in such a situation, here are a few bathroom remodeling tools you need to have on hand before you take on such a project.

A Spade Or Shovel

Please, please, don’t just go to the bathroom on the ground near your camp and just leave it there. Not only will this start to smell, but will attract rats and insects by the hundreds. The last thing you need at camp is to compete with rats and insects – because they will win. You need some sort of outhouse or bathroom, and for that you need the most important bathroom remodeling tools of all – shovels and/or spades.

2ND TIP OF THE DAY : One of the rooms in the house used more often by most people is the bathroom. While spending a lot of money on the usually smallest room in the house may not be high on everyone’s list, since everyone uses this room quite often, bathroom remodeling can make its use more comfortable and convenient. There are different ways to improve the appearance and functionality of this small space, and bathroom remodeling does not have to put a major crimp in the bank account.

If you can’t get a hold of a man-made shovel or spade, you will have to make your own. Pounding sharpened green wood branches into the ground helps loosen it. If you don’t have a knife or machete, then you need to find a sharp edged rock. Be patient, and don’t loose the sharp edged rocks. They also make great bathroom remodeling tools for the great outdoors.

If you can use dried vines or rope or any material you can, tie the rock to the greenwood branch and dig steadily. You are best digging at least six feet deep, but do the best you can. When you are done the hole, look for little pebbles or small rocks or even large pieces of dried tress bark. Line the bottom of the hole with that as best as you can manage.

Fire Ash

This is the second most important of your outdoor bathroom remodeling tools. You need to get a good shovelful (or equivalent) of cooled ash from your firepit or campfire and dump it in the makeshift hole every time you go. This ash not only covers up the excreta and nullifies the smell somewhat, but discourages both rats and flies.

Over time, you can use your knife or sharp rocks to make a bark or woven branch “lid” for your hole, weighed down by rocks. Insects also don’t like lavender, so if you happen to find lavender growing where you are, keep some of it around your hole as a decorative and useful outdoor bathroom remodeling tool.

3rd TIP OF THE DAY: When considering a staggered plan, act on the bathroom remodeling ideas that will make the biggest improvement in appearance first, but there are some thing that should be done at the same time. For instance, when replacing an old sink, leaving the old cabinets in place will detract from the appearance.
