Ken and I are trying to talk ourselves out of liking a hot tub. Up until now, we have loved taking a hot tub every evening before bed. Then we started having difficulties. The first problem occurred at the farm. The hot tub started to leak. Being as we live in a remote, obscure area of Pennsylvania, servicing it was impossible. For a long time, every time we arrived at the farm, Ken filled up the hot tub and all was well. When it got worse, we just decided to empty it. We discovered that we could live happily without a hot tub so we asked Keith, our builder, to get rid of it. We now have no hot tub at the farm.
Last summer in Nova Scotia, the hot tub was not fixed until after we had left for the season so, once again, we lived happily without a hot tub all summer. I was encouraging Ken to have it removed but he thought it better to have it fixed for summer 2013. We arrived at the lake house in Texas in April to find the hot tub not working. Ken called for the service man but no one came. Except when we returned from the ranch today, the hot tub was working but not yet hot enough. Ken turned up the heat and now we are eagerly awaiting our first hot tub. I guess we are not totally ready to get rid of our hot tubs!
Our thinking is that sooner or later, we will not be able to get in and out of a hot tub so perhaps we should remove them now. Also, the hot tubs we have are fifteen years old and probably need replacing, so we talk about living with no hot tubs but truth be told, we can not wait to get into that warm water. I guess we still like them.
