You remind me of the woman I borrow Robert the Boar from each year. She lives on her grandfathers farm in a 'mobile home' with no bath. She has a Victorian cast iron bath with legs outside in her garden, and when she wants a bath she lights a fire under it. :bugeye:

I haven't taken an "after" shot yet, but here's what they looked like before I put them in the bath (they have been pre-jetwashed, but much of the crud is encrusted & wouldn't shift with just water...
