Thanks to my good friend Matt, who reminded me Thursday night of the benefits of using wheel, lever, and inclined plane, I managed to roll and flip the tub onto its foundation sans assistance. Not even damaging the drain hole plumbing on the bottom. Speaking of drains, if you were about to go down the drain, this would be your last view. . . .
I guess for that to really be your last view, you would also have to visualize water and maybe some feet dangling above.
Then the notable big oops, because I didn’t render the cement footings on the AutoCAD drawing, they stick out along the edges (yea, only I would even notice, you probably didn’t in the top pic…. so no way am I going to do a redo).
After the tub was on its feet, I drilled 2½” holes for the five jets and the second drain. Six holes later, the back looked a little like cheese….
At the end of the afternoon, I went over to an open-house at our new neighbors Andy & Ruth new hillside villa across the street. They get to look at the [lack of] my house paint job.
They have a great view from their back yard.
And speaking of views, visualize bubbling hot water at your feet….. The real vision is still weeks away — as I still need to buy a few pumps, filters and pipe it all together.
