Our friends, Mark and Chantal, had been storing their hot tub in their garage from when they moved to Texas over a year ago. They finally decided it was time to install it in their backyard and decided we could accomplish this ourselves. So how many engineers does it take to move a 700 lb hot tub from the garage to back deck?
It takes seven. Five to work and two to watch.
Moving this hot tub was a challenge none of the guys could pass up. They schemed for weeks on the best way to do it. I think a few were upset when renting a crane to lift it over the house was ruled out. They settled on a pallet jack and board path method.
Derek drove the pallet jack.
They had to turn it up on its side to get it through the opening in the fence. They then flipped it back down until they got it in place. The big move was ultimately successful and there were no injuries sustained.
After the hot tub was wired up, cleaned, and filled we were all invited over to break it in.
Everyone else went out to enjoy the hot tub while Derek and I cheered on the Tigers to win the ACC Championship. After the game was over, Derek and the guys enjoyed the fruits of their labor.
