Was that your thread months ago (maybe years) where you took pictures of the crane truck lifting the hot tub to the roof? I bet that cost a fortune. I had a good friend that lived in that building (if it's the one I'm thinking of). I use to live in the Grand Ohio (233 E. Grand) about 5 years ago. I still love that city. Great place to visit in the summer.

Nice choice with the TT. Congrats and good luck selling your car.

yeah... I'm the idiot... I really mismanaged cost projections on that one... All said and done it was the cost about what I am selling my car for...

One of those projects that once started could not stopped.

Here are some pics...

hilarious-- curious to know what your initial cost-benefit analysis was! First, the 3-4 months of sun thing; second, probably would've been easier/cheaper to construct a custom hot tub up there; and third, must have been at least a 1/2 day off work

anyway, that is too funny!

Amazing view though! Bet it makes a good life a little better, right!

That hot tub installer guy looks hard-core with the red bandanna!

It is safe to say I pissed everyone off on that jobsite. For constructon workers they whined like little girls.

I pissed off my neighbors, the board, the community, the construction team, the crane operator and the hot tub guys.

BTW - We could shoot a rap video in Raid's backyard !!!!

Bah, f*ckem if they can't take a joke.

The pool and deck were finished Sept. 1st so we haven't had an entire summer with the digs... can't wait. Parties every weekend, come on by.

Nice project. Probably painful during construction, but WOW, what a finish!
