Well, after a huge fiasco, our tub was finally delivered. We are so excited & can't wait to fill it up!
So, the delivery guys bring it over set it down, & set up their part. We say, it's crooked on our patio, could you please straighten it out a little & push it towards the house a little more? Well, you want to leave room for the electrician to get in there, so when he's done with his stuff then just push it back to where you want it. (shouldn't have let them leave)
Electric is now done.
Ok, right, it's about 900 pounds & its empty. Of coarse we've called the delivery company & I don't think they are coming back.
We had 3 guys over last night before the Bears game & this thing is not moving.
It needs to go about 5" to be on our patio, it's hanging off the side. We've tried a couple dolleys & just pushing differant ways & stuff.

Anyone have a better idea to straighten it out & just move it a little?

Get a crowbar and some stuff to protect the bottom from the crowbar - like a metal plate. Lift the edge up and slide a couple of pieces of 3/4" pvc pipe and you can roll it around to your hearts content. But you only need to move it like 5" so... you'll have to play with it.

BY THE WAY -
If your control panel/guts side of the spa is up against the house then you are going to wish it was flipped around when you need to work on it. It is not a good idea to block access to the equipment.
