I will fly out to Columbus to help lift it, if you pay for a case of beer, airfare, and hotel room.

Lifting WITHOUT sliding is a good point. When people lift something large, like a spa, they'll tend to push into it as well. You should only need to lift it about 1/2" to slide the bracket under. I'd try a flat bar (small flat pry bar AKA wonder bar). One person should be able to step on the lat bar, lifting the spa, while another slides the bracket under.



I picked up the longer version of the wonder bar Friday . Got up this morning at 8, drained the remaining water out and had no trouble slipping the umbrella base under the tub.   Two bad things.  I just finished filling and the water is 42 degrees!  A new record low. The other bad is with the umbrella.  On the base the instuctions says the rotating assembly comes with 4 8x20 bolts and 4 - 8x30 bolts.   Looks more like 7 smaller and 8 longer damm it!  Off to Home Depot. (Or as it is called along the border, Home Deport
