Author: Tod Martin

Every hot tub lover knows that in order to maintain your hot tub's quality and performance - you need to take proper care of it and protect it. In addition to a hot tub cover, hot tub gazebo's offer an added element of protection for your hot tub and also adds to the elegance of your outdoor surroundings. Hot tub gazebos are a great way to enhance your hot tub and attract friends and family to join in the fun!



Benefits of buying a hot tub gazebo

Buying a hot tub gazebo is a great idea if you want a little extra privacy in your backyard. Hot tub gazebo's can also feature partial walls or sliding walls for added obscurity. You can feel more at ease soaking in the tub without the worry of potential onlookers that may be travelling by. Hot tub gazebos act as a shield against the outdoor elements like rain, snow, hail etc. and minimize the sun's strong rays. Hot tubs underneath a gazebo can be used any time of the year.

If you're looking to make your hot tub area the party place in your home, a hot tub gazebo can really add to the festivity. Additional accessories like a bar, bar stools and deck decor can all spice up the area and get your guests socializing. Hot tub gazebo's come in a variety of different styles and materials to choose from. You can choose a classic stained wood for a cottage feel or take a modern twist by installing a hot tub gazebo made of bamboo.

    My hot tub is outside, the temp is zero, and it desperately needs repair. Can it be saved?
    I have a Calspa hot tub about 9 years old. It’s outside, in Michigan’s cold winters, which is when it gets most of it’s use. I replaced the motor in October 2007. It’s now half buried in snow, running, but leaking. I add water every two weeks to keep it going until spring when I can have it checked out. Now the motor is making noise. It’s zero outside, and very difficult to get access to the motor for repairs. If the motor goes, everything will freeze. Should I let it go and replace it in the spring? Will insurance cover the damage?

    I think it can be saved. According to how the hot tub works, the hot tub sucks in water and pours them out with force. It should be only frozen and maybe some bits of dirty stuff may be in it. But from what you described , it’s in a pretty bad condition. It has a chance about 25% chance of being fixed and working perfectly fine.

    you can get a new strap from the manufacturer of the hot tub.

    What is the best way to get tar out of shoes and fabrics?
    When the snow started melting I walked through a puddle where they had been doing pothole repairs and my brand new, very expensive snow boots are completely covered from top to bottom in tar. I’ve tried scrubbing them with this heavy duty stain remover, and now I have them soaking in a tub of hot soapy (laundry detergent) water but that doesn’t seem to be working either. Any suggestions? Their made of the same kind of material as Ugg boots if the type of fabric matters. Thank you for your help!

    Rub some glycerin into the spot and leave it for about an hour, then with a paper towel, gently remove the spot using a blot and lift motion. You may need to do this several times

    How to eliminate outdoor rats?
    We’ve been having rats in our back yard for 3yrs now and it’s costing a tremendous amount of money to repair the damage they’ve done and to kill them off. My neighbor has fruit trees, so there is nothing we can do to prevent the food source as he won’t cut them down. His newest one, planted right under 4yrs ago in his backyard (which is our problem tree) is planted only 4feet away from our fence. The rats eat in his yard and take shelter in ours. We can’t eliminate their shelters as they’ve used our hot tub (3 motors have been replaced already due to chewing wires), our BBQ pit (has been replaced twice, but begging husband not to replace it again as we just noticed yesterday this new one has gone to sh$t as well) and our shed since we need it to house our lawn tools. The hot tub & BBQ pit is in our screen patio so of course constant replacing of the screen is needed…as you can see I’m just FED up! My daughter can’t go in the backyard anymore (scared of her touching something contaminated) and since I’m deathly afraid of rats I can’t go in the backyard anymore without my husband being there…and since he works away 2wks out the mouth, I’m screwed! We’ve purchased every type of trap there was. The glue traps weren’t strong enough and the wood/spring traps failed on a few rats that my husband had to shoot with a pellet gun to kill them as they couldn’t get out the patio with a trap around their neck to escape. We now have the T-Rex traps and although the pellet gun has stayed in the closet now…it seems as though the rats are to smart for these traps! We’ve only killed a hand full, but there is always poop around the trap as they just walk by it. BTW, peanut butter is our main bait used. There has been this stray cat hanging around (huge, bad a$$ cat) since my dogs have passed away and I’ve been feeding it to keep it coming back for more but of course it can’t get into my patio or in my shed. I was told to NOT repel the rats from my shed or patio as they will find their way into my home…which I just can NOT allow. What can I do to completely repel them from my yard. I am assuming the rats are crawling up my 6′ wooden fence to gain access to my yard as I don’t think they can go under it or between the boards (boards are pretty swollen tight). Is there anything that I can spray on my fence to prevent them from even entering my yard once? Obviously a “little spray bottle” of something won’t be enough! It needs to be a massive amount of liquid to cover the entire fence and possibly penetrate the wood.
    Now that my big dogs are gone, poison is always left out under the shed, along side the hottub, inside the hottub and in the BBQ pit. We do have a boston terrier indoors that wouldn’t know what to do with a rat and adopting another or purchasing another wouldn’t be an option right now in our lives. Over feeding the cat isn’t something I thought about, so maybe I will cut it down half a can instead of a whole can. I do know the cat is a hunter & fighter because since the cat has been around we haven’t had any visits from our ole friend the opossum…we’ve only seen the shreds of fur left over from there meeting :) . The rat population is down (going from killing 3-5 per night to 3-5 in a week) so I am guessing that is because of the cat as well but the cat doesn’t come every night…which makes sense if something else is feeding it. I’m just at my wits end. The pest control supply stores we’ve visited of course push their products on us just to make a sale and all have different opinions
    Lar – It is an orange tree and it does produce year round. We have placed pieces of the orange (the newly fallen ones) on the traps and it didn’t seem to work as well as the peanut butter. We haven’t smeared juices on the poison blocks and I think that’s a great idea! My husband described the rats to the local pest shop and we were told it was Norway rats…although I’m not sold on that. They don’t always look the same..some very long & skinny, some short & fat, some brownish, some grayish, some very dark…but of course I don’t stick around to examine their features that well. I get a glance and haul A$$.

    you didn’t mention what type of fruit they are feeding on..hopefully there is not fruit out year round. In the period when there is no fruit on the trees, get the same type of fruit from the market to bait the snap traps with. The baits can be hit or miss when there is an alternative food source, though smearing the fruit juices on the blocks may make them more attractive to the rats. I wouldn’t use warafin, Norway rats (though you may be dealing with the black rat) have become resistant to it and the newer generation anticoagulants work better. Definitely do not want to place any baits, or traps out in the open for non target animals to get into. Rats have evolved living around man and their pets so they will not be bothered by placing out cat / dog hair.

    Maria: There is other alternatives but it would involve having to hire a pro…they can place what is called a tracking powder placed in a secure location they are running in which the rodents walk through it and it adheres to their fur, when they later groom themselves they ingest the dust and in turn kills them. This product is more hazardous to be around than the bait blocks..there is also a liquid toxin they can place out, once again in a very secure spot like under the hot tub area, if they are not taking the bait (food) they may take the water.

    You may need the dead rodent to know for sure , but the tail of the Norway rat will not extend past the head if folded back over the body, their nose will be blunt …roof rats (black rat) the tail will be past the nose of the rat when folded over and it’s nose is more pointed. Although the roof rat is also called the black rat, it will come in a variety of shades and colors.

    Not getting enough hot water!?
    For the last 2 weeks I’ve been having repairs to the bathroom in my apartment that involved completely ripping out the tub/shower and replacing all the taps and what-have-you’s. Tonight was the first night that I was able to use it and I no longer have the hot water I’m used to. I had it turned all the way up and it’s hot but not quite hot enough. They haven’t installed all the cover around the valves yet and I’m wondering if this is something I can fix quickly without waiting for these guys to make it back on Monday. Like… can I just turn something so it will release more hot water?

    Did you check the thermostat setting on the HW tank in case it was lowered?

    Did a pilot light (or an electric heating element) just go out?

    Are you asking if there is a fault in the faucet (tap) that lets cold in to temper the hot even when the handle is in a position such that only hot water should flow through? That would have to be physically examined by your guys Monday as they would have to dismantle things.
