Up until today, the only water was outside the home. As of today, a new trench takes the PVC to PEX pipe,
which is frost proof, and hooks up inside to the water heater. No more hauling buckets of water inside.

Granted that Walls, floor tiles and proper lighting would help the picture,
functionally, the tub has become operational today.
Arnoud is enjoying a bath right this minute an is rating it 5 stars.
I placed Hardie Backer Cement Board on the floor, which will be the base for tiles.
Besides the tub and shower, the toilet is now also fully hooked up,
enabling flushing without having to get a bucket of flushing water from outside.
The joy of luxury is coming closer and closer.

One thing most of us take for granted is hot water. In the US, this is supplies by a water heater,
which is electric. Arnoud has experience with Plumbing so he did most of the work to get this one installed.

This water heater is connected using PEX tubing and currently runs at 110V.
As soon as I have found an electician that can hook up the panel box, the water heater can be connected using 240V,
which means it will heat up quicker. All connections to and from this water heater are made with a PEX plier,
that crimps a metal ring around the connection to make it water tight.
