    Default Shower at Graymoor

    Does anyone know where I can locate photos of the shower at Graymoor Monastery?

    Here's a photo of the outside:



    If you look at this photo, it shows where it is in relation to the picnic pavilion:

    you can feel your heart as smooth as a snail
    the mountains your darlings
    but better to love than have something to scale

    Thanks, QHShowoman. I wonder if anyone has the dimensions or a picture of the inside.

    No picture but I remember it being roomy with smooth round stones on at least part of the "floor".

    This should give you some idea of the size.

    There are 2x4's on the corners so it looks like the planks are 6" (5 5/8" if I remember + give or take one inch gaps.)
    The door looks like a 24".
    Three slats = 18"
    Two gaps plus edges 4 + 2 = 6"
    Pretty close to 24 I guess.

    Size of front of shower
    2 2"x4" + fifteen planks x 6" + fifteen gaps x 1"
    8" + 90" + 15" = 113 divided by 12" = roughly 10 feet.
    Do not know how close you need to be so "Just guessing here".
