Spa/Hot Tub

It was about 7 years ago we bought our first hot tub. Actually, I was the one who instigated the purchase because of my experience of owning one well before I met Kirk.



Back then, Kirk questioned whether we would use it often enough to justify the cost. It was $4000. plus the cost of wiring which was around $350. It was well worth it. We should have taken it with us when we moved.



Since the hot tub we have here died last fall, we truly miss it. So, we are now on the hunt for a new one.



It seems things have changed since our last purchase. Either our standards have increased or there are too many choices. In short, this hunt has become complicated. We started out looking for; energy efficient, well insulated, 5 hp motor/pump, and lounge that Kirk would fit in with sufficient jets for his back and legs.



Kirk now has hot tub experience. He fell in love with one that has plenty of room/jets for a tall man. (I found one smaller.) Price, delivery charges, etc. is now the issue. I am leaving the negotiating up to him.



I just hope it happens soon and my job will be to fill, maintain and clean it. Plus Enjoy!

I started this post at 1:17 pm it is now 4:17 pm. The deal is agreed upon. The deck is coming apart as I write. They made their offer. Kirk made counter offer. Then, Kirk's patience got low and called back. Something in the middle. All are happy now. We may have Hot Tub up and running by Easter or early next week. (My job, write the cheque/check).
