Title: Finally going to post some pics
Post by: Cola on October 27, 2006, 10:07:05 pm

Well the first two are from spring 2005 and the third from last winter.
The fourth shows a bit of the finished deck and then the spa house with my neighbors vines in the fifth
I will get a pic of the Blue LED lights under the deck at night too.

I LOVE the logs.  Such a unique look--very outdoorsy. :)

Cola,
nice looking setup there. One question for you. how far away is the entry door to get inside the house? When I talk to people this seems to be the biggest reason they don't use the spa as much after having it a while. Not a big deal when it is new but seems to becomes a problem later on when the weather gets colder.

Yeah, it's built for looks, not for speed
I wanted the tub away from the house so that I could get a good look at the skies, I get a good 130 degree view from there and the street light is behind me about 100 feet so I get little light from it.  It's about 10 quick steps in.
But hey, I like it.
Thanks for asking
Steve

Nice setup! Great pics of the kids, you do good work.

Wow that sure is alot of kids in the tub! I bet you shocked the heck out of it, after that party. ;D

How'd you get Ol' Faithful in there? That's really cool. 8-)

I love the deck, and as it matches the steps in the background, I assume you did the other deck, too! Very nice looking! Love the kids' playhouse, too

Thanks guys
The pics with the kids was my daughters soccer, baseball team party.  We recently had a birthday party for her and there were about 12 five year olds in there at once.  They had green feet from the grass and the tub water turned a tinge green.  We didn't have the jets on with all the kids in there so no filtering.  It cleared up about an hour after the party.
Old faithful is a 3/4" PVC tube that goes into the bottom of the waterfall that sits on top of the filters.  If you remove the waterfall and close the jets, it goes about 15 feet into the air on high.  This works great for cooling down the tub really quick.
