John Lewis asked:


has made the decision to buy then you have to consider carefully where you will position the Hot Tub.

There of course various choices depending on your property. For example indoors depending on access in to your property or perhaps outside in a front or rear garden or what many people often prefer, on a terrace or a roof terrace if possible.

Whilst there are many choices to consider, one has to take into account certain factors, and the most important and obvious one is that the Jacuzzi Style Hot Tub is going to be placed on a weight bearing foundation that is able to support the weight of the Jacuzzi including the water and say 4/5 adults.

It is important that the base on which the Jacuzzi is to be placed is level and of a consistent texture and strength through out - little point if it is just strong at one end and weak in the middle.

A suggested base or foundation would be a layer of concrete with a thickness of 6 inches and to be laid on hard core, which has been laid for the concrete to key too. Perhaps bars of reinforced steel would also add strength - some people use concrete roof beams or small RSJ’s Rolled Steel Joists,

If the Jacuzzi is going to be installed on, for example, wooden decking the same, kind of considerations have to be made. A guide for the total weight is 100 lbs per square foot.

If a Jacuzzi is to be set into decking or sunken consideration has to be given to access for service or routine maintenance. I have seen many installations that whilst they look nice they are impossible to access. At some time, access will be required in the same way that you have to open the hood of a car to change the battery or what ever.

It may be possible to place a Jacuzzi Style Hot Tub in side your property.

If you do decide to put your Jacuzzi indoors, then of course you will have a lot of water inside your property and one has to consider very carefully the implications if for what ever reason a leak occurred. Just a child possibly accidentally opening the drain valve one evening might mean that you could wake up knee deep in water. Therefore, if it is going to be inside one has to plan an effective drainage system and ensure that should (heaven forbid) there be any leaks that the water drains away harmlessly.

In addition, as the Hot Tub will run at a high temperature it will give off a lot of damp moisture and this could accumulate on the ceiling, floors and walls of your property. Obviously, you will need very good ventilation in order to deal with this.

For the majority of Jacuzzi Hot Tub users the best position tends to be outside for a variety of reasons. The Jacuzzi can be enjoyed at any time of the year, that is for a full 365 days, perhaps to cool off on a warm sultry day or to warm up on a winters evening.

Obviously when outside the Jacuzzi Hot tub will be more exposed to the elements and you will need to wear bath slippers or equivalent as you walk to the Jacuzzi to keep the water as clear as possible.

A cover is essential for a Hot Tub whether it is indoors or outside.

You should always have the cover on it when the tub is not in use.This not only keeps the water warm but also keeps the dirt and dust out.

Also the cleaner the water the less you will have to treat the water with chemicals etc. In addition, it is a safety factor to ensure that youngsters do not get in to the Hot Tub unsupervised.

Luxury Bath Hotel

Alan Hope asked:


My wife Anne and I arrived by car in the famous Royal Crescent in Bath which comprises a number of Georgian town houses which were built in a curved shape. Towards the centre of the parade of houses is The Royal Crescent Hotel which is a luxury Bath hotel. We pulled up to the hotel entrance door to be met by a member of staff who removed our luggage and dealt with the parking of our car-a bonus in the centre of Bath.

Upon entering the entrance hall to this luxury Bath hotel, which has a black and white tiled floor, we were warmly greeted by reception and quickly shown to our junior suite which was expensively furnished with antiques. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in and we were informed can be purchased. Air conditioning is present in all forty five bedrooms.

This luxury Bath hotel has so much character and the staff were both professional and personable. The hotel overlooks a park at the front and there is a beautiful garden at the rear of the hotel where we enjoyed the most wonderful afternoon tea-do not miss the experience!

This luxury Bath hotel has a delightful spa known as The Bath House where you can enjoy a treatment and the heated indoor swimming pool-it felt as if we were swimming in a chapel! There is a well equipped gym if you are feeling energetic and I dare you to get straight out of the wooden hot tub into the cold tub.

The Royal Crescent Hotel owns a vintage wooden motor launch located on a water a few miles away which is available for up to six of the hotel’s guests to enjoy an evening trip accompanied by champagne (and a knowledgeable skipper) . We decided to join the boat trip and the hotel arranged a taxi and hamper containing the champagne and titbits to take us to the water. The boat was beautiful and the ninety minute trip was unforgettable-not least because Anne and I were the only guests on board so we had a full bottle of champagne to ourselves and as we were not driving we drank it all. We were returned to The Royal Crescent Hotel by taxi and then enjoyed a delightful dinner in the hotel restaurant.

The hotel is most conveniently located within a few minutes walking distance of the shops and special places to visit.

The Royal Crescent Hotel is indeed a luxury Bath hotel offering the highest standards of service in a most spectacular building-you will not be disappointed.

Enjoy!

Home And Bath Remodeling

Tagged Under : Carpeting, Coat Of Paint, Floor Surface

Cathy Peterson asked:


Outdated wall coverings such as wall paper and borders are one of the first things to change during a home and bath remodeling job. With the use of a heating gun, the glue used to secure wallpaper on a wall can be easily removed. The homeowner might choose to paint the walls instead of repapering the wall, and if there is any type of mar in the wall surface, spackling will need to be done to give the wall a smooth surface.

There are a lot of choices to make when choosing the color of the paint in a home and bath remodeling job. If the home will be occupied by the present owner for more than 7 years, then any wall color suitable to their individual taste is fine. In order to be kindly favored by prospective buyers when the house is placed for sale on the real estate market, a neutral shade will be required.

A fresh coat of paint is recommended prior to placing it on the market. Old walls tend to get dingy with age, and suffer from grease and grime build up over the years. Prospective buyers are more reluctant to buy a home that requires a lot of work, and many simply do not enjoy the idea of painting a house. Instead of scrubbing walls spotless, homeowners will simply paint over the old paint to cover up the grime and grease.

To find home and bath remodeling plans, people may consult a building supply house that sells building materials and fixtures. They can refer you to an architect or trade magazines that feature many ads for floor plans. When you are ready to buy a floor plan that everyone in the house agrees on, they can be obtained very easily by purchasing them online at the company website.

A favorite home and bath remodeling project is replacing the carpets in the home. Carpeting is another eyesore in the home that old and new homeowners do not like at all. In many homes, carpet is placed on hardwood floors, with a layer of padding to protect the floor surface and give the floor a cushy surface when people walk on it. Ripping carpets out requires the removal of tacking boards along the baseboards throughout the home. All carpeting should be hauled to the curb after it is removed from the home.

With careful shopping and selection, a homeowner will be able to replace the carpeting in the home with no trouble at all. There are carpet factory outlets in many cities across the United States, and these sites are where commercial and novice carpet buyers get their inventories. If you do not think you can do this job successfully, it is advisable to contact a professional carpet installer to do the job for you.

It may be necessary to update the tub or shower during a home and bath remodeling project. Outdated tubs are unsafe and people prefer to have a firm foot hold when they are standing in water. Other people have medical reasons that require that they sit while bathing. There are ample shower/bath combinations for sale at local home and bath remodeling warehouses.
