If this makes you feel better ...
I've wanted a hot tub for about 10 years now.
I started looking at tubs in January 2004 to see what tubs AND dealers I liked. I had A LITTLE CLUE that Spring 2005 was the anticipated delivery date!
I found and put a deposit on the tub in Oct 2004.
I was supposed to submit plans to the township Jan 2005, didn't do it until 2nd week of April 2005.
Wanted to FINISH BUILDING deck and screen room; have 200 Amp service done and tub delivered and wired (AND USING) by 2nd week in May.
I just finished framing deck, have tub delivered (not wired) , maybe having tub wired on Wed, hopefully put decking down next weekend (if not then the following (Father's Day) weekend by myself) and probably won't be doing the screen room until July 2005.
So I can feel for you!
Feel Better? LOL
