Anyone have a stock tank pool or Jacuzzi?

[Paul Sandhu]

I built a wood fired water heater to heat my above ground swimming pool. But it's a part time job collecting and cutting all the wood and keeping the fire going. The pool is 12,000 gallons. So I'm thinking about making an outdoor Jacuzzi out of a livestock water tank. In order to not look too redneck, I'll put 1x4 stained lumber around the sides to make it look classy. I already have a pool pump/filter, and I can use my wood fired water heater to keep a much lower volume of water hot.

Does anyone have any experience or tips on approaching a project like this?

I had a bad fluorescent light in a kitchen at a rental. I removed the fixture and replaced it with a conventional light. There was a big hole in the ceiling from the original light. I put stained 1x4 lumber up there. The Jacuzzi sides would look like the lumber above the light.

If this project goes over well, I'm considering putting one in my 2nd biggest house.  It can sleep 8.  It already has a concrete patio and is relatively private.
