Backyard relaxation
Ron-P
Posts: 8,520
Been awhile since I've posted so I thought I'd start back with a bang. Added a new toy to the back yard to relax in. Seats up to 6, and runs off 220v. When we had it installed it was a plug-n-play at 110v. I bought a separate panel, all the conduit and wire and ran 220v. Runs much more efficient this way and heats about 6 degrees an hour faster then if running off 110v. All DIY except for delivery.

Hi Ron, I'll be right over!Political Correctness'.........defined

Congratulations. Good job, a very good investment. I love my spa. Bought a Coleman in 94, and, aside from a few incidents, it is still cookin. In fact, it is almost spa time.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

Oh, it won't be missing for long. That's a coming! I'm just not sure how I want to decorate around the spa and what to build. I want to do some bamboo framing around it for starters, and some sort of bamboo bar for the sides without the lids.
Thanks for the comments guys!!!

Awesome work man. That looks great. Please tell me you're in Hawaii or somewhere tropical, where a lot of that grows naturally, so I feel a little less lazy about messy back yard...2007 Club Polk Football Pool Champ

I love the Tiki God you have. Where did you find it? Or did you carve it yourself.
Great job on the theme backyard. -
Welcome back Ron,it's been awhile, miss those reviews too. Love the look of the backyard!

Thanks guys...
As for the Tiki God, a buddy of mine gave it to me. He cleaned out his backyard and I was able to give it a good, and fitting home.
Yeah, my movie watching days have slimmed down quite a bit. Not to much time anymore. Met an amazing lady about 5 years ago, got married and we are always on adventures. Not too much movie time anymore.
I wanna be in Hawaii but cannot afford to move there so I created it at home
