My wife is pressuring me to jut get a portable spa type thing. She thinks that if I build something it might look unsightly in our back yard....she just does not have or understand the importance of making something yourself. In our argument so far, I am losing and may have to go with a portable spa

  The more she saw me researching the tub on the internet the more concerned she was becoming hehe. She found one today for $500 and when i saw it i could not believe how big it was, its like the biggest model ever made. The one she looked at before was 470lbs, the crew that moved it said this one was closer to 1000 lbs dry. I gave in and got it. The guy said it worked but it was been sitting for a long time so I will have to keep my fingers crossed and hope that it fires up ok. There is a bit of wood rot but I can fix that. Photos below.
