7 hours Try going on a vacation. Our daughter discovered it 3 days later. Fortunately it was May and aroun 60 most of the time.

Yawn, another thread ruined by Jim and/or his bashers. The thread has interesting possabilities and could be of interest to a lot of poeple. From my experience as a consumer, there is much truth in what Jim said in his original post. However, I don't agree with him that this applies to every dealer and every show. (Your milage will vary) However, also from experience you have to question why he starts any thread, as a prelude to his agenda usually. And there are plenty of people who will be there to make sure he doesn't score any points with those who don't know his ways. Jim is also becoming more conscious of his online image, so those of you unfamiliar with him, just look around awhile. Getting back to the topic, I only had two things to say about these home shows. 1. They are a great way to see several tubs, frequently from different manufacturers at once. 2. There is no deal that is good for only today, that can't be repeated tomorrow if they want your business. Frequently as Jim said stores bring in factory reps for shows and they are more high pressure, so if your susceptible to that, then beware. After educating myself at several shows, I found dealing with at the home store much more relaxing.
