This little (self-imposed) orphan is going to take a dip in her improvised hot tub. Here's what you do:

Go to an architectural salvage or recycler.

Look for the grottiest old clawfoot tub they have - mine was around $40 US.

Buy a contraption online that has feet and a steel-webbing frame (ouch - 165 bucks).

Ask the nice person at the hardware store for fittings that will convert the pipe coming out of the tub into a regular hose fitting.

Buy a Y fitting, one side connected by hose to the kitchen sink (adapter needed, like for a dishwasher), the other to a short outflow hose for drainage.

Viola! You have your own cheap-ass hot tub!

Of course, you will feel guilty if you fill it all the way, so you only fill it halfway, add essential oil, and sit back to read "Lamb" as you soak.

Mmmmmmm.
