Interesting, but I think I will go with the modern tub.

The guy looks like a Apple software developer. Had it not been for the Ipod, they would all be extinct now.

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

That's a nice one Doc.  :)

The one in the article had some pretty nasty looking water. Hard to tell if they were soaking or bathing.  ::)  ;D
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

It IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you.

Frequently the wood heated hot tubs have NO pump or filter, and they try to get by by changing the water once a week (doesn't work too well)...but it makes for a VERY inexpensive hot tub (tub, bench and wood heater is all you need). Most of the wood heated tub we sell, we really try to talk people into at least a small filtration system...but there's always a few hard core purists, and people that are totally off-grid.

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.
