Electrical work is nearly done.  Tub is filling with water.

(Apologies for the play-by-play, guys.  Just excited.)  :)

No apologies needed. I know how excited you must be.

We are up and running!  I've added more pictures added to my photo album showing the electrical work, and the tub freshly activated!

I've started to add chemicals, following Nitro's guide.  It's heating up at about the rate that wmccall predicted, ~4 deg/hour.  Continuing to monitor.

Having a hard time peeling the kids away from the tub.  They don't understand why we need to wait.  :)

Enjoyed teh pictures.  Use the last hour to run everyone's swimsuits through a wash cycle with no detergent to rinse out risidual soap that will foam.

Thanks!  Good advice.  I'd read about that months ago, but had forgotten.

Tub started at 74 degrees, and is now at 95.

My wife and I poured ourselves glasses of wine and went in for our first soak.  Glorious!  I feel sooooo relaxed.
