early Monday morning I unplugged the hot tub again and put the pump in to empty it…

with the new hose it only takes about fifteen minutes… so much better than the old two hour procedure…

Mike from Krevco arrived later and moved the tub away from the wall… then he spent a good half hour trying to remove the bolt in the broken arm…

eventually both arms were attached and the lid was back on… yay…

once my grandson got home in the evening we were able to get the hot tub back into the correct spot… sounds easy, but if it isn’t in just the correct place, the lids won’t open… but we got it into place and then it took an hour and a half to fill…

a slow process, but done… then it was restarted and will take quite a while to come up to temperature as it is plugged into an outlet, not hardwired, lol…

tonight I have been adding the start-up chemicals, with twenty minutes between each addition, and am looking forward to a lovely late evening time in it;-)…

Sunday (well, Mother’s Day) will mark the fourteenth year since I had the first dip in it;-)…

I truly am blessed…

arms…

was on my way downstairs to go out to the hot tub on Friday and heard a loud noise… looked out the window to see one of the two hardcovers laying on the ground… not attached to either side of the tub…

it had slipped out of my grandson’s hands and, in the very cold weather, broke both arms that hold it on…

luckily, after we soaked for a while the two of us were able to set it back where it belonged… no single person hot tubs until it gets repaired, lol, as it will take two of us to open and close the cover…

happily Krevco had some arms available…

we will wait for a warm day to empty the tub, move it to install the arm closest to the house, put it back, connect the second arm, and refill the tub…

fun times, lol…
