    how do i make dull redwood siding on a jacuzzi/ hot tub look good again?
    HOW DO I MAKE THE WOOD AROUND MY JACUZZI LOOK LIKE NEW.OR AT LEAST BETTER. JUST LOOKS LIKE IT IS DULL NOW.

    RW has it right. Many hot tub company’s also have classes for this sort of thing. Just remember that the total Alkalinity is the magic number for maintaining good pool or spa water balance.
    Generally there should be a filter pump that keeps your water circulating through the filter all of the time anyway, so turning on the massage, and / or bubbles won’t do much more in the chemical aspect any way.

    Which looks better? A hot tub stained a deep redwood or sealed with a natural wood sealer?

    Using a pressure washer on wood isn’t going to rejuvenate the appearance of the lumber. The wood has faded and aged due to exposure to the elements. The only true way to make it look good ad crisp is to sand it down slightly, Then apply a sealant that prevents wakter, moisutre, etc from entering the pores of the wood. don’t sand the wood and then wait several weeks to seal it. Apply the sealant as quickly as possible. This will protect the wood for several years to come….
    Good luck

    What would be a nice place to stay for me and my husband when we visit the redwood forest.?
    All I know it my husband has always wanted to see the Redwood trees. I have the idea of staying in a small cottage(something romantic). Maybe a small kitchen, with a hot tub. I don’t mind staying in a small town but would like a nice view of the forest and walking distance (less than 1/2 mile). Must be nicely decorated and comfortable beding. What city/ state? Any suggestion

    Felton Crest Inn – 780 El Solyo Heights Drive Felton CA 95018 USA; (831) 335-4011; http://www.feltoncrest.com/

    The Inn is surrounded by tall Redwoods, next to the Big Basin and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Parks. Very romantic and secluded. Its a B&B, so you get a kitchen and breakfast. Located in Felton, 15 minutes from Santa Cruz. Innkeepers name is Hanna Peters.

    qwerty -

    It depends on what type of natural wood the tub is made from, and the setting or surrounding area. Redwood is a beautiful look, but remember you should probably seal the stain so that the outdoor elements don’t take it’s toll on it. Without knowing what the natural wood is, then I’d determine whether it looks good where it’s located. Does it blend in with the elements. For example, if it’s located on a deck, does it match the wood from the deck (if it is wood). I have one built from maple and I’m letting it age without sealing the wood. Part of the reason is I don’t want to become a slave to sealing the wood every 3 – 5 years.
    Basically, it what you think looks best.

    good luck
