Hot Tub Project and more

We've had the hot tub for about six months now and I finally got around to getting a new cover for it. The new cover allowed me to properly install the cover lift and accompanied the spa. I couldn't install it before this because the old cover folded in the wrong direction. I have now got a cover with the proper fold and all is good and happy. Almost!

The lift has the adjustable arms to fit the configuration of the cover. It turns out the the adjustable arms were not quite as adjustable as they should be. I had to employ some of my Mickey Mouse Magic to make it work.

I ended up using a pipe compression fitting which worked like a sleeve to join the two pipes to extend the length.
