We hired the same Samoan guys that brought the tub to us in Everett (when we first bought it). Three amazingly strong guys… This is all they do – and they do it well!
So the tub is here, with nothing broken, and nobody hurt! It fits perfectly, exactly where I needed it to be, with the conduit coming up from the concrete through a 2 inch hole in the bottom of the hot tub.
So now I can clean it up, wire it to 220, and fill ‘er up!
Because I did this project “right,” the concrete pad is a flexible surface: if Camille decides to get rid of the hot tub in the future, this will be a perfect patio – the late afternoon sun fills this spot through the summer, which is one of the reasons I chose the spot for the hot tub. The project was a difficult slog, and Camille had almost nothing good to say about the project for a long time. But now that it is nearly completed – clean, neat, level, plumb, professionally done – she’s beginning to express delight. This is a relief, because the truth is, I was really doing this for her. I’m not a hot tub person, but in Everett, I saw how much she enjoyed using it, so I wanted to make that happen for her here in Mill Creek.
