The Coffee House

Out in the woods, if we want a hot tub, all it takes is borrowing the stock tank, stack a few cinder blocks, and build a fire in an old oil drum (helps if you burn the oil out first LOL), you slide the drum closer or farther away depending on what you want the water temp to be.

OMG! Don't fall asleep; you might end up boiled to death!

We are literally surrounded by pools. We really prefer the hot tub to a pool plus it leaves significant room for gardening. Mary Lou practices some water aerobics in the tub. Gary drinks vino.

Mary Lou likes it cool ... so the tub is set at 98F.

Adds another dimension to a "Red neck".

Wouldn't that make it "Lukewarm" tub?

I would rather have a pool. Hot tubs make me feel kinda sick after about 5-10 minutes. They kinda freak me out. I would rather sit in a bathtub and let the water slowly cool until it's time to get out. When I move, I want to invest in a really great bathtub.

I would use a pool far more than a hot tub. I love to swim, so it would allow me to finally be able to exercise outdoors in the summer. I used to swim laps regularly and I miss it a lot.

I completely agree. I've only been in a hot tub once in my life. I got out within 5 minutes, as I overheated very easily. While I like my showers HOT, I dislike immersing myself in hot water. Baths are also usually a no for me...

If you can't personally control the temperature, then I agree. I've been in one where I had to keep getting out or I'd start to feel nauseated, and it was awful. I've also been in one that was delightful, with air jets, room to bob around, and just relax in. They can be wonderful or they can be icky. No question.

Hot tubs: Nothing more than a big old pool of Campbell's Cream of Human Effluent Soup!

Gary and Mary Lou's tub seats "six" (which means four comfortably), a ton of jets from the feet to the neck (60 IIRC), each station/seat has different types of jets ... some stations swirl, some pulsate, some are needle point, et cetera. There is a waterfall, which Gary initially thought as dumb, but once in the waterfall adds a lot of ambience. The color of the light is controllable and even the waterfall internally lights up. The amount of bubbles is controllable and the global power of the jets is controllable and all the jets (sans the needle point jets), are individually controllable.

A waterfall, disco lights, and you garden in there?? ooohh

I'm just being a smart aleck, I know you meant there's room to garden in your backyard AKA your outdoor paradise as well as have a hot tub.

I think John's on the right track, toss in some noodles and slap a Campbell's Soup label on the side! lol relax in it and when you get out, dinner's ready!

As a general rule in Texas if you want a hot tub or sauna just got outside.
Today I had to bug out a little earlier than I wanted to. The truck left my Sister stranded at the food truck.
I got a 60amp push button switch and wired it in. Key on and push button. Dad thinks the valets at the VA will be terribly confused. But the switch is easy to see as you get in.
26.xx after 5 days. 31 ought to be easy enough.

Sharon thinks Gary should get a U Soup 5000. But it'll attract swingers.

And one of these - it's bluetooth!
