Greetings,

Read a lot of messages and figured I'd call this home. I figured I wouldn't start with a question, but a picture of what I'm doing.

Bought my first house with a '94 Cal Spas, Cal Classic. Enjoyed the heck out of it, then deep winter... frozen... cracked fittings and pump housing. My bad, wasn't sure how to run it, and my wallet started to freak out hearing it run 24/7. Anyway, I'm moving it a couple feet... pouring a slab... frame and reinstall.

I'm open to any and all comments. Not sure what I'm doing, but what the heck, that's how I got a beautiful daughter.

Well, I got it moved. It was only about 3 feet but it's moved.

More details...

I set up a series of crossing 4x4 as you can see in the pictures. Using a floor jack ($14.99) I lifted the end in the direction I wanted to move the tub. Don't forget wood or something under the jack.

On the opposite I used two 4x4 (one for the left hand and one for the right) under the tub support like levers. Lifting the 4x4's allowed the tub to roll on the jack about 4 inches at a time. I tried 1 4x4 but couldn't balance the load.

I checked the load often and listened for "bad sounds". I walked between the levers and jack about 100 times checking it.

All in all the tub moved smoothly and is out of the way.

Again, all comments/questions are welcome

But the Egyptians didn't have PVC pipe. LOL. If the ground is fairly level, you can use PVC pipe under the tub after you raise it up enough to get them started. Then as you roll it along, remove the first pipe and reinstall under the tub to continue rolling.

I thought about the PVC but I'm a bit cheap. All the 4x4's came from an old swing set that I took down that was left by last owners. Now it's time for the slab. This thing was sitting on (2) 4x4's, (1) 2-2x4's nailed together, and the odd blocks and bricks you see in the picture.

Thanks for the reply...
