Good for you!  Hope you enjoy your new tub very much  

That crane up & over the house like that would scare me.  It'd be my luck that something would beak & it would end up in my living room    

[grumpy]

not scary at all, something breaks I get a new roof and another new spa, the only downside is the wait again

Hmmmmmmm.... I need new shingles.  Maybe I will give the strap the old slice-a-roo when the crane guy is not looking...

wow....congrats and happy tubbing!

Nice deck....post finished pics in a few days.

just curious....a question to anyone....
ballpark what does a crane delivery add
cost wise to tub delivery?

I know each case is different
but if normal tub delivery is free
does crane delivery add like $500,
$1000, $1500 or more to costs?

[grumpy]

delivery was included in the price whether it was buy crane or man handeled. I was going to pick it up myself to save $300 of the final price but decided to get it delivered to save some aggrivation and possibility of something happening. no extra charge for the crane. 8-)

Free crane delivery....sweet!

I've got the same tub and same color (also on a raised deck).

You should have seen how much work it was to muscle that sucker up there.

Enjoy your tub.

Sorry I must have missed this post..

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE CRANE DELIVERY!!!

They just charge more for the spa.

[sledjunkie]

Ever notice how most hot tub salesman ask where the tub is going while you're shopping?

There is a reason for that question.

[grumpy]

He gave me a price first when I was looking. He did not ask were it was going until I made the purchase.

Great  pics Grumpy. I think you and I dealt with the same folks.    you got it at a great time too, you can have your first fill up, really enjoy it now that's getting chilly here in MA, and before water changes become an impossibilitie,  you'll have a couple of months to get a handle on the nuances of water chemistry.

Sled, you are so f-ing negataive. Yes, nothing is free.   We all know that. It's not like we're 10 years old.  We understand. Really, we do. I think you'll find the majority of folks here are over 30 adults that have seem some level of proffesional success .  We understnd that there is value added  and an exchange of goods and servies  for currency. Some dealers choose to bundle certain items togethor, some dealers are able to offer lower prices on certain things due to thier specific set ups.  A wise consumer shops arounds, understands the offers, the different oppurutnites to spend thier money and evaulutes their needs in line with the merchant. Every item and service provided in our economy is subect to it to varying degrees.  We get it.

Why do you always feel that you are reveailing some great mystery and feel  that consumers are getting screwed for participating in  the open market?  It's getting old.... quickly.

You must have been burnted, because you feel everyone else is getting screwed.

Tell me, do you feel that you are that much smarter than us and need to point this out,  or do you just feel that we are all morons?  

[sledjunkie]

I'm sorry but I feel most of you don't get it, that's why I continue to educate the consumers on this board. While shopping I learned early the Spa industry is a very screwed up, dirty business. Lots of lies being told. This market is much worse than the used car market in my opinion.

With statements like "Free crane delivery....sweet! " certainly shows me that alot of consumers continue to not "get it".

Congratulations on your new spa Grumpy!

I apologize for my negligence concerning the Pic o' the Day, but I've been concentrating my efforts on the Spa Wars Saga in the General BS section.

So here's a nice one just for you:

Excellent,  It reminds me when I was younger and I thought sex was free when you got married, I have been paying ever since.

Sled ease up man.
