Since You Asked-

I live in the suburbs of Minneapolis, so we have outragousely cold winters, and hot humid summers.  
Our spa is behind our house, under our deck.  Not the best place, as the deck partially blocks our sky view, but it was a good enought compromise.  It's less than 10' from our rear walkout door to the spa steps.  

We use our spa when we feel like it.  For us, indoors our out isn't a limiting factor.

Ok..again here I go putting my foot in my mouth..LOL! I live in Northern Wyoming, so winters are harse as well and the snow can accumulate. I think by having my tub in the "spa room" (my little name for it for the time being hubby has alot bigger plans but that will have to come in time screened in porch later on) lets me actually enjoy nature...and the outdoors (boy would I rather have the tub up on the mtn in back of a reallllly nice cabin) and be inside from the elements. Like for example 5 days ago we had a wierd thunderstorm. I went out to the hot tub and within 30 seconds after I got in, the rain started and it was a gusher of a storm too.

I guess we are paranoid here, we won't get in the tub during a lightning storm, even with it indoors.

I know one fellow that was working underneath his house, running cable TV wire, and got shocked (not badly) by a near lightning strike. Know another lady who was washing dishes at the kitchen sink, and got a jolt during a storm.

Are ou saying I shouldn't take my golf clubs into the tub with me?

You can take graphite shaft clubs, but leave the steel ones in.  And as long as your toaster is plugged into the NEC required GFI outlet near your spa, making toast should be ok, except that all those crumbs might clog up your filters faster.  Better than making toast in you spa, would be making a toast.

For those who are humor impaired, the above is meant as a joke, even if it isn't all that funny, and I in no way, shape, or form, advocate making toast in or near water.
