Hot tub in yard, but SlashChick not in hot tub…

The hot tub got installed today! Yay!

The hot tub requires 220v wiring, which I don’t have in the back yard! Doh!

I called this electrician guy I found on craigslist and he is going to come out tomorrow and install 220v wiring. Preliminary cost estimate: $225. Gotta love paying for upgrades to a rental house. But I doubt my landlord will cover it since it’s my hot tub. I am getting a pretty good deal on the rent anyway, and my landlord is cool, so it’s OK.

In other news, today was Conference Call Hell, but I got a lot done. We’re signing a contract for 10,000 email customers. Craziness! I also landed a fairly large dedicated server contract today, so at least things are humming along on the sales end. I am also getting lots of calls about our office space for rent. I have a feeling we might finally sublet the other half of our office in the next 30 days. That would be a godsend.

I have tickets to the Giants/Reds game tonight, so I’m headed out! I will have pics of the hot tub up once it’s actually functional and not just sitting there like a lump in my back yard. ;)

    Not a bad price for the install if it’s more than a few feet away. Esp. in your area.

    Sounds like a good price for a professonal job. I had my own wiring hell when I tried to add a pair of breakers to wire in an electric water heater, something went wrong with the grounding and… well… glad to hear you hired a pro!

    Lemme go grab my swim trunks and towel!

    Hey hope the hottub goes well! I followed a Slashdot comment to see what all the fuss was about re OSI. If I’m ever in SF I’ll drop you an email. Right now I bet you have great weather, its raining and cold here in Hamilton, New Zealand! Good luck with the company, I see your spending your pay rise wisely :) yeah I pretty much read ur entire blog. Laterz!
