had an early morning hot tub and then went through the slightly complicated winter process of adding water to the tub… first you take the hose off the dryer vent and run the hose through the vent…

spaghetti of hoses in basement…

then you go outside and grab the hose and bring it around to the hot tub and put it under one side of the cover…

then you go downstairs and turn on the water (a very stiff valve)… then you run upstairs and make sure the water is running into the hot tub… then you hang around for a while to make sure that only the correct amount of water goes in…

hose through dryer vent to get to hot tub…

then you run back downstairs and turn off the water, back outside to take the hose out of the tub and snake it back through the vent…

then run downstairs and put the end in the washer to get the water out of the hose and loop it back up on its little hanger, which it doesn’t really want to be hanging on, lol…

everything back together…

then hook up the dryer vent again… and you are done…  excellent form of exercise…

no wonder George always looked after this, sigh…
