It is the world's oldest hot tub -- a huge, pale greeny-yellowy fiberglass affair. You have to run the water for an hour just to fill it up past the jets, and forget having water up to your shoulders. The grandkids love to "swim" in it. As antique as it is, we love it. It's one of the many reasons Old Dog won't even consider moving.Jeanne Estridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096521122802823385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-7402070607759602232009-03-07T00:51:00.000-06:002009-03-07T00:51:00.000-06:00I don't have room for all those fun things -- but ...I don't have room for all those fun things -- but I sure can dream along side you.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-29932972841441837442009-03-06T07:59:00.000-06:002009-03-06T07:59:00.000-06:00What a great idea!

At age 49, I don't know if he and my sister-in-law qualify as "old hippies" or not, but they built their own wood-fired hot tub outside their Tennessee home and it's wonderful! They also have a garden, but the bamboo fence they built with bamboo from their own property does nothing to keep out the deer!Coffee with Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267344646007108501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-31511722828268873622009-03-06T06:32:00.000-06:002009-03-06T06:32:00.000-06:00I say go for it.

He came home scratching his head saying "I saw the darndest thing, all these old people sitting together in a big horse trough visitin' with each other.

And since winter is really a very long, ordeal, and you have such a really beautiful yard I think you should make a summer sleeping, resting place out of the little shed. You could drape the bed with netting, to keep out the bugs and really enjoy yourself.<BR/><BR/>Take photos if you decide to build it. We all will want to watch.<BR/><BR/>Linda<BR/>http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.comDayPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241862779620972216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-47468024391279530212009-03-05T14:10:00.000-06:002009-03-05T14:10:00.000-06:00Your friends sound quite interesting, I like their...Your friends sound quite interesting, I like their ideas... I've been toying with the idea of an outdoor stock tank so I can take my long-missed baths (we only have an indoor shower here). Of course, I could only do so in the summer... and since we live in such an isolated area, no one would really SEE me! :) I also like your idea about moving your unused building and converting it into an outdoor getaway.
