One Dreamy Bath Tub for a Great Deal

Yesterday I was heading to the feed store and had decided it was time to lock down a bath tub. I had planned from the get go to use a galvanized stock tank as my bath tub. I think it is a durable and attractive, if not unique, option. However, the tank would be over $100 and I am looking for bargains. So, before leaving the house I decided it was time to check Craigslist for a deal one last time. I am certainly glad I did!

Built in arm rests

I found a gorgeous Avonti acrylic drop in tub. Manufactured here in Phoenix by http://www.avontikitchenandbath.com/, model BT25 is oval in shape and white in color. It is larger and deeper than my current garden tub and includes built in arm rests. Additionally one of the quality features of Avonti tubs is that they are sprayed with a foam insulation. This makes them quieter and helps keep the water warmer longer. New these tubs run around $650 - $800, more if you have the bubbler option. This particular model runs about $800. I was able to purchase it for $40! That's right, 40 bucks!

On Sale!

I am quite excited to say that my future bathtub/shower is on sale! Whoot! I stopped by the feed store yesterday for rabbit chow and saw this site of loveliness. I am going to go with the 3X3X2 so that it can be both a tub and a shower. It won't be super huge, but it will allow immersion and that counts.

Only problem I have run into is fitting it in my car, but I will strap it to the roof if need be. This sale takes $30 off the price of the tank. That is a great savings. I hate that the manufacturer has painted their logo on the side, but that side can face the wall, so it is no problem. Another item soon to be checked off on the checklist.
