I mentioned before, I'm sure, that Nitro tends to build way more well thought out and complicated and useful things than I. What? You don't think my crocheted hats are as useful, or impressive as the back deck? Whatever. I'm over it.
This next project of his is FANtastic. I'm really excited. He's making a hot tub. Out of a water trough and a beer keg. I kid you not. The water trough (pictured) is big enough for us both to sit in, legs straight out ahead, water up to our necks. And there will be some sort of a tube at the top and at the bottom, and cold water will go out one tube, get warmed by a fire (that will be in the modified beer keg) and then the now hot water will go back into the hot tub. Apparently, through the magic that is physics, this whole circulation of the water will happen automatically.
Don't ask me how.
It's magic.
The basic concept is presented in Mother Earth News, a favorite publication around here. But I'm rather fond of the beer keg boiler creation that Nitro came up with. That's a class act right there. Oh, and the stovepipe? Why, it's made of the old exhaust pipes from his Chevelle of course. Pictures to come, I'm sure.
