We also had an iron tub in the front yard that my mom would fill with water and put black plastic over to help warm the water, then a little hot water from the wood stove, and we would take turns bathing in the great outdoors.Rough stuff, but I don't recall ever being unhappy at that time.

The space was heated, but cold air goes to the ground, which is where the water pipe was.Another thing to keep in mind is that PEX pipe is less likely to burst when it freezes, since it is plastic.

SPC (Stone Plastic Composite aka Solid Polymer Core) seems to be the latest, greatest product, better even than LVT/LVP.

Bandit signs - these are the 18" x 24" plastic signs you see on the side of the road.
