My wife and daughter really wanted a hot tub. Eventually they convinced me. And with all the money we’ve saved by not traveling or eating out during the pandemic, we could afford it.
There were two dozen things that needed to happen in the back yard before we could put in the hot tub. An old trellis needed removing. Some post holes needed to be filled with concrete. A fence needed repairing.
Eventually we completed all these tasks as a family. The hot tub arrived. Our electrician installed it.
And it didn’t work. It turned on but it didn’t heat up. Instead of a hot tub we just had a tub.
