New owner! Bullfrog x7L

The wiring was done a few weeks ago! The electrician is going to come back on the delivery day to connect the wiring to the tub.
On a side note, I had one electrician give me a quote for $4,400! I told him I already had one quote for $1,000. He then "cut me a deal" and said he'd do it for $2,200. I told him to have a nice day haha.

Wow. One electrician wanted over $4k just to do a 230 hookup?! That's ridiculous!
Our spa is being put in place of my existing one, but we have to re-wire because the new sub-panel now has a separate heater control and 2 breakers. Luckily my husband's job regularly includes working with electricity so he can do the re-wiring for it.
I understand entirely about the anxious part. I can't wait for my new tub to get here!! I ordered my Caldera at the beginning of December but still have a couple more weeks to wait because Caldera has a shut down for retooling this time of year. I recall that same wait 15 years ago when I bought my Tahitian.

The good: the tub arrived on Wednesday!
The better: it's absolutely stunning. I didn't see this color combo in person (midnight shell, harbor grey case) and it really looks amazing.
The bad: my electrician isn't coming until early next week to run the wires from the tub to the GFCI. This is pure torture!
On a side note, my dealer The Backyard Fun Store in Bear, DE has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Before, during, and after the sale he has been a true professional.
I was going to add some cool pics of the delivery in the city and some pics of the tub but it seems like I can't add any attachments. I then uploaded them to photobucket but that site is being a PITA and won't let me copy any links while on an iPad. So I guess I won't be adding any pics :(

I played around with photobucket on my phone and it seemed to like that marginally better.
Here's some pics of delivery. Don't judge the city living too harshly! It also rained the entire day prior which turned everything into a mud pit.

These pics do the tub NO justice. I'll add more after I have it filled and running.
