Had one for a while, got rid of it when we had kids. Scared of them getting in it and drowning.

Anyways, upkeep was pretty easy. Just keep the floater with chlorine tablets in it and shock it after each use. Ours was the jacuzzi name brand and we were happy with it.

Love sitting out in one when its ice cold out.

Cool, thanks. I'm mounting the old 42" plasma on the back of the house so I can watch the foosball while I sit in it. Redneck heaven.

We had a standalone hot tub when we lived in Kansas and I loved it. Up keep is simple! If you bring a sample of your water to where you purchase your chemicals they will test it for you and tell you exactly what you need to add.

Spend as much money as you can on a spa. you can get the cheap ones at Home Depot but they won't last. Where do you live? If Charlotte, I would go some place like Rec Warehouse to look at spas. The two most important things to look at in my opinion are pump size and amount of jets. Once you find a spa you like and can afford, ask to test it out. Most reputable spa dealers will let you come back after the store has closed and actually sit in the spa.

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will be more than happy to answer them.

Whats up Bo? Stay away from Rec Warehouse. They sell cheap tubs that fall a part. They will not service the tubs like they promise in the warranty. Many of the tubs are built specifically for Rec Warehouse so you can only get service and parts directly from them. They in turn charge about ten times the normal rate because they know you cant get parts anywhere else. I bought a tub from them several years ago. I had 13 service calls in the first twelve months and they finally told me that they would not come out any more although the tub was still under warranty. I spoke to the president of the comapny in Florida and he suggested that I just sue them. The tub sat empty for a couple years and I recently sold it on Craigslist for $500.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
