    Hot tub motor caught on fire, hot tub completely ruined.

    Long time lurker, figured I'd join up to ask this question. I see lots of people ask questions about stuff like this on here, so here goes nothing... So, I was out of town yesterday, and when I got back, my neighbor came over to tell me that while I was gone, the hot tub on our back patio...
