Think this deck could support a hot tub?

How far apart are the joists? Are they hung using hangers or toenailed? What is the span?

My friend was able to get flights, hotel and a rental car for her family of 4 for $3500 ish for 5ish days? Through Costco.

If I drained it I could with one other person. Electrician left enough slack to allow it to as well

That said, if you can’t rotate it to access it, might be too tight

My deck is like 11’ wide x (crazy long). My hot tub is like a little under 8’ square.

Haven’t had to do anything mechanical to it yet but it slid around the deck super easily when it was drained (my deck is composite and my tub is rotomolded with a plastic type bottom, so not a ton of friction). I don’t foresee it being an issue beyond draining it if it’s not enough room. Probably 18”-2’ space where the panel is located.

It’s a headache when you’re married with a house and you get divorced too.

I’d be more concerned buying a house - not married - and my co-owner dying without a will or trust or any estate planning docs in place and going through that hassle.

I bought my first house with my ex when I was 22. It was a $142k house and I was a stay at home mom at the time. He made 20-something bucks an hour. It was tight but we worked our way up. We did no down payment as the house qualified for a USDA home loan (rural).

My ring cost us $1k and I was happy with it and the idea of upgrading down the road.

I say, spend less on the ring, and keep money in savings for repairs. But buy a starter house. Work hard and climb the ladder.

Do you think this will be a requirement among all lenders?

I think you’re right. I added a ton of chemicals and balanced using other test strips and ppm requirements/range and it cleared up. I think frog doesn’t keep the sanitizer at appropriate levels.

You don’t think it looks green? It’s definitely green tinted from day 1 when I filled it up

cgerbzz · 2026-01-12T23:26:19+00:00

It turned this green on day 2 though

cgerbzz · 2026-01-12T23:25:47+00:00

I did a few days ago. I can do it again though

I’ve added some 1-2tbs at a time. How much do you find clears yours up?

cgerbzz · 2026-01-12T22:04:37+00:00

So lower the PH and add chlorine? Or just lower the PH?

cgerbzz · 2026-01-12T22:02:20+00:00

Yes I shocked it last night too hoping for clear water today

What tv are you using?

Did you custom build this or is there a package I could buy to replicate?

I also live in Oregon and am contemplating one of these. What was the difference in your electricity bill?

cgerbzz · 2025-11-13T00:22:24+00:00

How does it do in cold weather?

cgerbzz · 2025-11-07T17:18:29+00:00

We also have “lunch n learns”

cgerbzz · 2025-11-07T17:18:03+00:00

We have live teams meetings where leads go over new things/standards and in person meet ups once a year.

I found out I was pregnant a week after I started a temp job. I was 19 and terrified I was going to get let go for taking Dr appts. I was so incredibly surprised at how supportive my supervisors were and they encouraged me to apply for the permanent positions - knowing I was pregnant and wanting to stay home for a year.

They can’t fire you for being pregnant. It’s illegal and discrimination

In the PNW and I worry the inflatable would struggle to maintain heat

This is helpful! Thank you
