After years of smoky outdoor baths and burnt elbows and knees, Becky Bee, author of The Cob Builder's Handbook, discovered cob and made the bath of her dreams. So many friends wanted to know how to do it that she decided to make this book so even friends she hasn't met can have the pleasure of making and owning the best hot tub ever! Unless you have had an outdoor bath, there is no way your imagination can see how absolutely divine it is. It's more like a temple than a bath. It is the reclaiming of an old ritual, balm to your soul, and a restorative for your body in the midst of the madness of modern life. This book guides you through the steps of making a cob firebox under a metal tub. This booklet is written in simple language with lots of easy-to-follow pictures and drawings. And, to top it all off, you won't believe how affordable it is. This little cob tub project is the most delightful way to start learning about natural building, giving you a hands-on introduction to subjects like drainage, site choice, design, foundations, and cob construction-with a hot bath as the reward.
