  Maybe I'm missing something in this thread. Does that mean that if someone is handy, which a lot of us aren't, that we should ignore warranties and the ability of a dealer/manufacturer to service and repair the tub we're looking at in our decision making? I can buy a lot of tools for what I think I'd save looking at tubs other than the big 5 or 6 companies and giving them credit in that  decision making for me not having to do it.   paul
