Not sure if this work but hopefully a pic of our tub will show up here.

Area where it's installed is small, 10'x15', tiles are recycled rubber tires, nice and soft on feet.

Sweet setup, I especially like the rubber tiles!  Where did you find those and about what did that cost.  I havent seen that.  I love those cedar sidebars!

Thanks all.

Yep those are the goofy headrests.  Uncomfortable and keep popping off.  They're the first thing to go.  Gonna use Capo headrests.

Tiles are made by http://www.tonmik.com/ .  Bought mine from Rona at $11.75 for 24"x24".  Easy to lay and easy to cut.  Not slippy and are quite grippy too.

my wife promised that if I did all the joe jobs around the backyard, she would garden!!!  Yeah right.  It was so crazy getting the hottub.  I spent more money than I thought creating our outside escape.  

It started with a garden that goes all around the back on my yard, I shoveled 25 yards of dirt from front of house to back, then I had to plant everything cuz the misses didnt want to get dirty.  Then I did 5 yards of mulch which was easy,  1000.00

We did a four teared cement patio, aggrigate stone, with stamped borders, custom stairs to the house and coloured cement, 15000.00 for 2200sq ft. of concrete.  

Patio set 1000.00

custom mexican chiminia, fire place 500.00

and grass sod 500.00

oh yeah and then the tub, stairs, bar, and planter boxes  12,000.00

I worked overtime all year to pay for all of that.  At one point I was working 7 days a week, 12 hour shifts, for like 4 months straight.  When that tub came I was so relieved.


Oh yeah back to my story, my wife doesnt do the gardening, She promised after all that I just listed to plant some sh it once and a while but nope!

Oh well I love her and im stuck with her, and I got a hot tub out of the deal.

Looks great. Lets see one with it open and running. Do you find yourself using the bar as much as you think you would?
