Bye-by Spa!

When we purchased our home, we were somewhat surprised at what the previous owner chose to take and what to leave. He took all the appliances, faucetts, light fixtures, even the vanity in the master bath. He did not, however, take the custom-built hot tub in the backyard. We did not want it and debated on how to get rid of it. We just wanted it gone! So Julio posted an ad on craigs list for a free spa-you haul. The first party to come see it spent two hours trying to move it and found out it would not fit through the side of the house. The only way then to get it out would be by crane. So they hired a crane operater and rented a flat bed truck and voila! the huge hot tub is gone! What a relief! Now we just have to clean up the big mess it left behind.

Yah-Hoo! Amazing that you guys didn't have to foot the bill to crane it out of your back yard. If you didn't have kids and the possibility of drownings, it would have been fun- congrats for getting rid of it!

I can't believe someone went through all of that to get a free hot tub!
