This is incredible! A few native plants between the tub and the pavers would help elevate the aesthetic just a touch. I was also thinking that replacing the copper pipe with a waterfall-esque fountain would be cool but now that I've seen the finished product, I see why you went with the copper pipe. It's stunning.

I think this is the most beautiful tub I have ever seen. Granite is gorgeous, what a fantastic project. It must be amazing to sit in and watch a sunset, the stone would retain the heat too, warming the water. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

@jameslostlen

33w↑12

Wow, thank you! I think it’s the most beautiful I have seen too, but I am extremely biased! For me, I really enjoy the irregularities and unique shape, very unique and one in a million shape. When it was sitting upside down, I could not envision what I would do with it. Once I saw it as stone tub there was no other way to showcase the rock in my mind.

@sauljones522

I love that this is presented with such modesty when it is by far the most impressive tub build you are ever likely to see, the humility is as impressive as the build. The attitude of saying "I was more inspired than I was threatened" is good advice on how to create a good aptitude for anyone in any endeavour. Fantastic results and approach
I have seen rocks with similar rocks discarded by quarries because cracks devalue them, sometimes you will see them spray painted with an orange box around the crack I guess so no one takes it by mistake. Really impressed by the repair and sure it hold out perfectly fine

The coolest part about the ancient peoples who built this rock tub is that they did it all using copper chisels and rock hammers. It was used either for the burial of nobles or used in ancient mysterious rituals. Notice how it is perfectly aligned so that the sun passes over it each and every day, and during the equinox the tub casts a perfect shadow if clouds aren't blocking the sunlight. Truly the work of a primitive yet crafty ancient peoples.

I totally overlooked that when focused on the crack. I wish I had used stainless. Hoping to totally seal off the crack all around to prevent the water from rain or the tub entering, then in this desert heat and dry climate I won’t worry about the rust - it is not an issue out here unless in standing water or deep underground.
