Hot Tub Fun is on the Way!

Got the framing for the concrete pad installed yesterday.


Concrete was poured today. Once the concrete has cured, I'll knock off the frame and build a boardwalk around three sides. I plan to put a showerhead down low for washing our feet before getting into the hot tub that will be delivered in about two weeks.


After 2 days of curing, I took the frame off. The hot tub will cover all but a fraction of an inch on all sides. Yesterday, I re-routed a power line from the old electric water heater through the foundation and connected it to a waterproof outlet. I am ready to relax. Ben is going to love this - he remembers every cabin and beach house we've stayed at that had a hot tub. He especially liked the A-frame cabin we stayed at in the mountains during a snow storm. Our hair would freeze stiff as we enjoyed the snow falling that night. Now, we will be able to enjoy the stars over our heads and snowy times, anytime and all the time.
Tub will be delivered on June 2nd.

Feeling a Little Blue?

Caught my limit (15) of bluefish on Tuesday. Best fishing trip to the beach I've ever had. Fished off the Bogue Inlet pier from about noon until 5:00. Ate several fillets yesterday. Fried them in a pan. Best fish I've had in years.
