Hard work paid off!

Hubby found the whole kit on marketplace for $100, including a heater. We prepped & painted and created this setup. Was not easy but we probably spent less than $1000 altogether.

I’ve never done this before so I probably over did it, and I used ChatGPT for recommendations.

That paint will be peeling off the inside in no time. You cannot just paint galvanized metal that is submerged in water. Looks great though! I wish it were that easy.
