Recycled cast iron bath tub

 This is bathtub shortly after we picked it up for $75, we had already scraped off alot of the old paint. It also came with the shower ring and ceiling hangers and shower head setup, we did need to buy the faucet.
Here is the bathtub afterwards and installed in the bathroom. Mike painted the outside and the 3 legs. Can't even tell it has a cinderblock foot lol. We did not have to paint the inside, it only had a very small amount of rust. To finish out this picture the lower part of the wall is a solid oak door that we found, on top of the door it thin brick, just because we loved the look of it. I am 5'10"and can fit in this tub, the water stays hot for  long time and afterwards if you do not drain the tub until the water cools it will also warm up the bath room . As I also have said we are huge recyclers and also use the tub water to fill at least 1/2 the washer. You are washing dirty clothes with soap anyway. We also leave the water in the tub so it can put some moisture in the air. Tahoe is SUPER DRY!!!!!
