It's Labor Day weekend which means the unofficial end of Summer. I looked back at my posts from last year to see what we were up to. We were varnishing the floor in the TV Room and cooking a brisket on the barbecue.
This year, we don't have anything as ambitious planned. I have just finished staining and varnishing a shelf for the armoire we are using as a stereo hutch. I think we'll be cleaning out the old and moving the new into place.
I'm going to work on the hot tub. It needs a cleaning and a filling, followed by a servicing. When last I had it filled, the breaker in the tub was flipping off when the heater was turned on.
The first thing I'm going to do is glue a piece of tile into place. That means I'm off to the General Store for some Gorilla Glue. But first, my final visit to Jim's Home Brew, which is closing forever after today.
5:28PM: As usual, some other stuff got in my way and prevented me from replacing the tile. It's not a problem though because I managed to get the hot tub cleaned out.
So I got it scrubbed out pretty well and it is filling now. I'm going to run some chemicals through it to clean the jets and all the attached tubing.
Then I will drain it tomorrow and glue the tile in place and hopefully, refill the tub by the end of tomorrow. At 500 gallons, I'm using a lot of water this weekend.
For now, the tub seems to be heating but we shall see how long that lasts.
9:24PM: We have just returned from the Hub where we watched the first half of the WSU vs Utah St Football contest. It was a very low scoring half with the Cougars putting up 9 goal scores and the Utahians placing 5 goal scores. In the end, the Cougs lost by 3.
I drained the tub mostly after running the chemical stuff through the jets. The water was very cloudy and it seems like I may need to fill and drain a couple of times.
