Tub & Pool Designer Pro Software – what is this all about?
It seems such a long time ago that I wrote the initial version of buildahottub.com website which was essentially a single web page. That page still exists today and explains how I went about building my own hot tub step by step with all the photos that I took.
I couldn’t find the information I needed so I thought that when I was done, I would write it up so others could do the same.
Fast forward quite a few years and here we are today. The website is totally different – there are hundreds of articles covering all aspects of building a hot tub. I have plans that you can purchase – an online courses that you can take and parts that you can buy too. Not to mention the 8K subscribers and over 1000 videos that I have published on YouTube all around this hot tub and plunge pool niche. Directly as customers, I’ve helped over 1300 of you DIYers build hot tubs and plunge pools and many more indirectly by the website and YouTube Channel.
Who knew that building my own hot tub would eventually turn into a business – well it has, and I love every second of what I do.
