Our hottub arrived ... on a very hot day!

Well - our hot tub arrived late yesterday afternoon in 90 degree weather and it was the hottest day of the year. The installers, who were the owners made it look easy as they slid it off the truck and put it in place. It weighed 300 pounds empty, but several thousand when its filled, so it was important that it be placed exactly where we wanted it. They were very very nice about making sure we understood what to do as far as the chemicals are concerned. And please call them if we had any problem. However, they didn't bring the starter kit with them because we hadn't made up our mind which company to go with. They were to bring them at another time...which ended up being sooner than we all planned. Which I'll explain later.

I see it looks kinda small from the pictures I took, but it is round, and seats four which means if we have (a lot of) company, they'll have to take turns. There's even a higher seat for small people like Vincent. Paul and I will fit just fine, thank you. And I can't wait for Paul to get in and sooth his aching shoulders. But I am pleased to announce that the cortisone shot he had last week really worked well! His pain is pretty much all gone on that shoulder. It was a long time coming...or going...depending on how you look at it.

I went to Curves this morning for the second time and I feel fine. I didn't overdo, but I didn't underextend myself.

Paul completed all the electrical work today, filled the hot tub this afternoon, flipped on the switch and it worked fine, except we didn't have any bubbles. He called the store, after they tried to troubleshoot over the phone, they planned on coming tomorrow to check it out. However, instead, they came down late this afternoon. The problem was there was an air lock that needed to be opened. We got a quick session on the chemicals before it started pouring really hard. The heavens just opened up. Luckily they got all the information we needed. Even put in the beginning chemicals to get us started. Now we have to wait till the temp. goes up, as it's doing gradually. Tomorrow will be the day. Paul wanted to use it tonight, but he'll just have to wait...it's only 72 degrees.
