      I had to Google Fuel Bund!
      40c, Nice! That must have required some hot tub chemicals to keep sanitised, What sort of size are you going for your new one, Have you considered ICF?

      @@RJ-cc1fz nope, just two coats of standard sand cement render. 2nd coat had a waterproofer in it from Antel. Didn't need Basecrete as it was going onto a more robust solid substrate 👍
