Plunge Pool

This was one of our biggest projects that we took on. Several years prior, we bought a used corner jacuzzi tub to make a cold tub to compliment the hot tub that we already had. It worked okay but was not very deep and it made it difficult to really cool off in and besides our grandkids never really used it much. So I was on the lookout to find something that would be much deeper than the old corner jacuzzi tub. So one day, Jaye was looking on Facebook Marketplace and found a person who was selling a baptismal font that was 4 foot deep, 4 foot wide and 10 foot long. That bought a church and were converting the old church into their new home. We called them and left immediately as soon as we could get the racks taken off of our kayak trailer as we figured that the kayak trailer was just big enough to fit the galvanized metal baptismal onto the trailer. The pool stayed on the trailer for a good while, while we made plans for where we would put the plunge pool and to figure out the logistics. The photos pretty well tell the story. We removed the old cold tub and installed the new plunge pool in the same basic spot. It was quite challenging to move and install the pool with just Jaye and I. This project ranks up there with cutting down the red oak tree in the front yard and then having it milled and then installing it as the new living room floor and paneling for the music room in the downstairs.
