Here's what to do with an unwanted spa in Anaheim Hills. I consider myself a bit of an expert because I have dealt with this scenario three times in Anaheim Hills, Orange and Yorba Linda and once in Colorado. The first time, we were all young men and the backyard access at both houses was awesome, so eight of us picked it up, carried it to a motorcycle trailer and hauled it to the next home. We didn't have eight guys at the next home, only 3, so we borrowed an idea from history. We used 4" PVC pipe. Two of us pushed it and the third ran back and forth moving the PVC from the back to the front. We were laughing the whole time and all felt very good about ourselves when we set it into place.
Another time, I had to move a spa was a few years later. It was an older spa, it was electric and I couldn't find anyone who wanted it. The choice was obvious, out came the reciprocating spa. It was scary how fast that spa came apart and it gave me resolve to not pay for one new...ever.
Yesterday was my fourth spa move. My dear friends in Yorba Linda are pool people and not spa people. When I told them I wanted to find a spa, they instantly offered me theirs if I could figure out how to get it out of their yard. I knew the answer; a crane!
I work By Referral Only, so I called my reliable contractor Dave Churnock and asked him for a referral. This was a great example of why referrals are better than internet searches or the yellow pages. The crane operator was friendly, professional and affordable. I'm happy to share his information, just ask!
We had minor problems at both places, but the crane operator and my buddies handled them with ease. In Yorba Linda, he had to lift the spa up way high over the palm trees. They were much taller than the roof, so that crane was extended almost completely out to swing it around and set it on the flatbed trailer I had rented.
We convoyed to my new home in Anaheim Hills and set it into the backyard. Did you see us on La Palma yesterday?
In Anaheim Hills time we had to contend with power lines. Honestly, we couldn't understand why the crane operator was so concerned until he pointed out the obvious, the lines don't have to touch his cable, they just have to get close enough to arc. Yep, we were REALL careful!
We set it into place and I already have plans for it's use, even though it is not yet connected to utilities.
Besides, I hope to have that done today or tomorrow, after my new baby arrives!
Do you have a large appliance that you need to give to someone who will use it? I'm working with several new clients who would sincerely appreciate your refrigerator, washer & dryer or even your spa; because I know what do do with an unwanted spa in Anaheim Hills.
