I need to finish painting doors for my mother. Cut the grass and fertilize the lawn. All before Sunday.

I need to show my sister how to cut the grass. With my dad's back problems he won't be doing that for a while.

it's a wonder that our architect's incompetence hasn't actually impacted anything yet and all his mistakes were caught by people in too low of a position to make any waves.

Annual St pattys day party at your house?

No, we don't have a St. Patty's Day party, only a New Years Eve one and maybe a few summer get togethers on our new patio. The hot tub lights can be changed to green, though, so it would be a nice effect. :awe:

You've got to be the only person who I've heard of to actually use your hot tub

Time to get drunk with a wake maker. 'accidentally' spill the beans.

We haven't used it in a few weeks. I actually drained it, cleaned it, and refilled it last weekend. We're going to make it a "cool tub" for the summer. :D

You spend $7K on something, you need to use it.

Plenty of people spend that kinda money on shit they don't use. Pools... Home theaters... Saunas

We used it a ton in the fall/winter. Now, it is getting too warm to use it as a hot tub, so I need to drop the temp on it 15 or 20 degrees and it will be great to use in the summer.

Of the very few folks I've known with HTs, everyone uses it when it's new.

A few years pass.... something breaks. That usually gets fixed.

It's the next one that brings the perma-cover.

Yeah, that's what people have told us. The first few weeks we had it, we probably used it 3 or 4 times per week. That has dwindled for sure but hopefully it will be nice to have in the summer to cool off with.

I haven't been in one since freshman year of college. 2 ish years ago. I was a bit inebriated.

I could see myself getting one. It would be amazing after a workout.
I'm worried about never having time. Currently between work and school I nearly have no time for myself let alone time with my gf. She's been tons of help. Cooking, cleaning, shopping.

People say if you go into consulting you work way more ThN 40 hours a week.

Life would suck if it's always going to be busy like it is now....

$7k

24 times a year for 10 years would be pretty good. IMO. It would be a worth while purchase.
