Okay, the best part is that they're outside and I'm surprised, you guys there is a hot tub, right, but guess what.

It's a wood burning hot tub. So I had to start a fire on and maintain it because the whole house is off the grid, so there's no everything is solar powered, and so you light this fire and the water siphons, you know, just from the heat alone. Five hours it took, and then I had this glorious, like one hundred and three degree hot tab.
