Hot Tub
A sunken hot tub, using a sheet of neoprene to separate the hot water from the cold.
It took 50 gallons of propane in rented tanks, an entire roll of 1/4 inch neoprene, 2 above ground pools, 5-10 cans of 3m 80 spray adhesive, 150' of PVC pipe, and several hundred wo-man-hours on everything from gluing insulation, to building and decorating the shade structure, to repairing the hot tub heater and filtration system.
