About:I am the author the novel Future Useless. I am semi-retired now as I work on taking care of my family and writing my next few novels. My Book is available in my profile and also on Amazon.com : http://www.amazon.com/Future-Useless-ebook/dp/B003NNUW3Q
I am thinking of taking the hot tub apart for winter.
Notes to self on next project--- Someone has some free red bricks for me- about 100 of them. I am thinking of making a burn-chamber thing to sit under the tub to put a fire directly under the hot tub.
The bricks wouldn't be mortared so they can be used for something else later as this is an experiment.
I would use an old pot I have to burn things in.
Needed to do this: 1. Place a drain directly under the tub so drainage is easier. 2. make a better cover with two pieces to make opening easier. 3. Make a smoke stack in the bricks to draw air. 4. Weld or attach a rod to the burn pot to pull it out before use. 5. figure out a method to back fill the area not directly over the burn chamber. 6. make steps to get in & out. 7. Possible insulation options or decking around the tub. 8. lights for the tub. 9. place to hang bathrobes. 10. place for spa bubbler.
