I bleed HotSpring Teal, but whenever I retire from the spa industry in a couple of years, this is what's going on my back porch!

No sir, that is some nice lady that made cookies for us when we visited the factory in January.  She's the president of Limelight Hot Tubs and has really white teeth.

My wife is 5' 12" tall and round, meaner than hell, and has yellow teeth..and she is worse than me in all areas, especially at sucking the life from people.  And she's bowlegged and knock-kneed and smells like hot links and barbecue sauce, which is the only reason I stay with her.

Yep.  After we have our third kid, I'll qualify for food and beer stamps so there'll be no need to continue to bust my butt day after day up here.  I can sit home and chat with ya'll on the internet, play with Photoshop, drink beer and smoke cigars all day and get paid to do it.

You can't beat that deal.

AH the Timber Tub. One of our European distributors wanted something to blow away the competition, and we come up with the Timber Tub design. It's still a traditional wooden hot tub, just 25% thicker than our "normal" hot tub. Without a doubt, at 2-1/8" thick, it's the thickest hot tub world wide. I really like the "beefy" look, and the thickness ads nicely to the natural insulating ability of the wood. It was extremely difficult just to supply our European distributor last year due to the lumber mill strikes, but with the strikes over and the fact it's doing so well in Europe, we decided to introduce it over here.

Funny, someone said that in a poor economy companies introduce new, lower-end, less expensive products, and here I am bringing out the what's probably the highest end product of it's kind.

The only problem with the Timber Tub, when I went to do the web pages for it, I realized the other web pages for our other hot tubs hadn't been updated in YEARS (serves me right, for spending so much time here  ;D ). Had to revamped the entire wooden hot tub section of our site. At least it gave me something to do for the last two months  :-X

If you mean Sam Walton, no, he's passed on.

If you mean Samantha W, President of Limelight Hot Tubs, then...yes.

I've been occupying myself between spa sales working on our new website.  It's still got a ways to go, but hopefully it will be chocked full of as much information as yours someday, albeit with a Lone Star flair which is unrivaled by any other nation.

Maybe I could sell one of your Timber Tubs on consignment in my neighborhood.

I'll be driving through Texas in August - if Andy would get it to me, I could put it on top of my daughter's car and take it to you.

Some assembly required.


My first Hot Tub was a Redwood Hot Tub. Redwood. It gave off a bunch of fibers and kept me cleanin' filters. But that was about 30 years ago. Andy offers other woods beside Redwood so no more fiber problems - and of course - the filters are much better nowadays anyway. My tub lasted a good 15 years, and then I dismantled it and moved it. Andy will tell you - that is not a good idea for any tub.

I had to soak it in the swimming pool for a week to get it to seal up again, and I was lucky it did. I finally sold it to a guy who got another ten plus years out of it. I know because I sold him a new heater and took care of the warranty and other repairs and upgrades on the equipment until I moved down to Southern Cal.

I'm sure those timber tubs would solve all the problems I had with my old tub!!

And please don't get me wrong - I loved the one I had. I didn't mind taking care of it at all! It was always hot and ready, didn't cost too much to run, had one of those roll covers, and it sat next to a redwood deck, under a redwood tree. In the city of Sunnyvale. You could spot those redwoods from miles around. One large and one small one, they towered over the neighborhood. They also shed the rain out to the tips of the branches, so when it did rain, we had a curtain of rain all around us but nary a drop landed upon us.

I remember coming home from my honeymoon to that tub - oh yeah. Fond memories.
