Summary: Mud around an old bathtub?
Review: I was VERY disappointed with this book. I should have heeded the other 'one star' review I'd read, but thought that perhaps it was an exaggeration: but it was not! I had hoped to receive a book about building a quality hot tub, perhaps from wood or some other quality material, but this book really is about taking an old bathtub, sticking it on top of some rocks, and then routing heat from a fire underneath it. I was shocked and VERY disappointed. If you want to make use of an old bathtub, perhaps this is the book for you. If you want something of quality, keep looking...

Summary: Definitely not the best hot tub book
Review: The author's idea of a hot tub is an old bath tub out in the back yard, propped over a wood fire for heat. No thermostatically controlled heaters and pumps, no sculpted reclining seats, no insulation.

Summary: You can Make the Best Hot Tub Ever
Review: What a GREAT little book !!! My friends and I were able to build and use a hot tub in one week-end. The book was full of helpful hints and tips that made the process painless. The materials suggested were inexpensive and easily found. We had as much fun making it as we did having a luxurious soak in the evening moonlight. The book inspired us and enabled us to create an inexpensive way to have our own hot tub. We built our tub small so we could change the water frequently and use no chemicals. Since it took suprisingly little fuel to heat the water it proved to be very inexpensive. I highly recommend this book. We also found the Cob Builders Handbook full of invaluable tips about building anything with Cob. I can't wait to build something else using Cob.
