Bought a Spa!

[Lars]

Purchased a used D1 Arena.

Five years old, used inside in a rec room.  Barely used actually, was in great shape. Guy threw in the GFI and disconnect too.  For $1,200, couldn't pass it up.  

Which leaves plenty to build a new deck, sliding glass doors out of bedroom onto deck, and of course, the new kitchen floors and granite counters for the wife.  

Not the spa of my dreams, but for $1,200 how wrong could I go?  Someday I'll be getting all the bells and whistles.

I can't believe my spa is five years old already.  Essentially, it does the same thing the new ones do.  It sounds like you got a good deal.  Good luck with your construction projects.

Congrats on the new tub.  Enjoy!!  

[Lars]

In a couple of weeks.

Then I'll be back pestering you guys with water questions.  

[Lars]

Steps designed.  On to the surround.

[Lars]

Surround is done.  This is going to look awesome.

Never leave a bored draftsman alone all day…

View south, deck has been stained, hot tub in place and bubbling.



View north, same same.



A 9' French door is going in right where the window is in that photo.  Thing is huge!  And I'll be building a surround and steps around the tub this weekend.

[size=20]$1200?.......OMG![/size]

[Lars]

Well, we can now tack on $200 for a 24 hr circ pump.  

But yeah, it's in great shape.

btw, French Door.

[Chad]

Looks great Lars! Thanks for taking the time to post pictures. So I'm assuming that French door leads to your bedroom? Very nice. I wish Spatopia was just a couple steps away from my bed.    Carrying all those women through your house was probably geting rather tiresome and you wanted a shortcut.  8-)

Lars:

That is a stellar job on the deck.  The french doors with the sidelight look great.  
And it sounds like a GREAT deal on the tub.
Looks like you have done a heck of a job there.

Beautiful job....Love it...and all for under $2,000.00??!! Did you have the decking stored already. In my area a cedar deck is very expensive....All in all you got a great price for the really nice spa. The space looks Wunnerful, Wunnerful, Wunnerful!!!!  

Please, keep posting photo's of your progress. Merry Soaking!
