This is for Morticia ... didn't want to derail the local business thread
Have you considered the little heaters that look like fireplaces that have 'flame' that looks very realistic? Little stoves that throw heat or none but really look like flames. If I can find pictures of the ones I had I will post them ... I built (yes, me) mantle surrounds for two of them, and one my son built a fancy surround and it was just the fireplace insert, not a stove. People thought they were gas fireplaces.
My nephew gave me one for christmas because my bedroom is chilly and the fireplace chimney in my room needs a reline. It is a sweet little thing. I set it in front of the fireplace. I am attaching a picture of my little one - I don't know the brand but can find out. Had friends in and they thought it was real.
I pulled it out a bit so you can see it. Yes, there's a cord but this can be camouflaged, especially if you bang together a simple mantle. The cord on mine doesn't usually show.
If people are looking for fireplaces, give them fireplaces. You have a couple fireplaces already, right? Add some more. They had some on q-c recently about $100 and $150. They don't take up much room at all. I fitted one at the b&b in a corner and used a corner shelf unit from a thrift shop as the basis for that 'fireplace'.
You could build a firepit in the spring. I did that, too. Got a cheap insert from C.Tree * you know the place ... and we built around it. Awesome.
Course, the next owner likely dismantled all of it.
Can't help with the tub thing ... but if people (often) are asking for something in winter I'd try to have it.
Nice of me to add projects for you to consider, huh?
