[Building A Shelter Around The Hot Tub - Need Ideas]

I guess when all is said and done I am looking for a "less" Ghetto version of something like this.

the wood is different colors ? Why?

the roof is sloping the wrong way for the direction of the panels. (silly, we have snow.)

it looks like this would break.. but what do I know?

then again.. something like THIS is perfect.. but got to figure out sides and how to do that?

Yea.. that Sterling Covana is super neat.

Takes the place of a cover too. not sure the sides would work that well. Like I said Cleveland is WINDY.. or at least it was this winter. I wouldnt know this is our first year hottubbing in the winter so I wouldnt have a clue as to if weather this year (wind wise) was normal.

I am still looking for some sort of structure to be built out of 4x4 posts and a metal roof. not sure how to design the sides, nor how to make the "sitting" / "dressing" area in the front.

This is what they sell in our spa store for 8000

Nice.. but.. sheesh.. that is a lot of cheddar.

[My Back Is Burning. Chemicals Seem Fine]

You know the whole inability to adequately test MPS (without a 79 dollar test kit) (ok the Taylor is 50 on the web) seems dangerous. nah of course they sold us the 29 dollar kit and she said "your levels are fine. Just bring it up here when you change the water and we will test all 7 levels for you. Hmm.. well.. I THINK the bumps are going away but honestly I am just getting itchy in other places but it isnt as bad. Still got the bumps.. but then again Ive already been in the Tub this morning once before work and yesterday I was in three times. The day before that twice. (generally one cycle 15 minutes) Hmm.. just guess i will keep having to test. My wife "sees" the slight yellow tinge.. but i can see the titration one where it goes pink on a small detection being a lot better.

hmmm.. still a mystery... probably was low chemicals. She was trying to prevent me from getting burned.
