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…
