Wait, don't the Aussies use something more than 110-120 volts?

25 amps will kick your ass.

Not being familiar with the unit, it does sound like a major design flaw. Would you be able to shut off the power, wrap the bare wires with electrician's tape so that next time you have to go in live, they exposed connections are covered?

Foot, i really just need to keep my hand on the screwdriver handle. Taping it would probably just give me a false sense of security. Its pretty messy in there. Lots of copper tubing etc, which is all live.

Maybe you can get your medical insurance to pay you for home ECT treatments.

I like that crazy just where it is.

Maybe put the spa on eBay ... ?

Sorry to have assumed so much, Ali, I was just thinking of things that helped me cope with four teenagers in the house plus a husband who wasn't into housework, yard care, or kid schedules. I'm glad you're doing okay.

Isn't supposed to be that way? That's the problem with today's society. Women just don't know their place. At least that is the way Gravdigr explained it to me

In fairness, in "yesterday's society" those pesky children would be out tilling in the fields, or working in the factories, by the time they were 8 or 9. Wouldn't be nearly so tough if we could still send them off for hard labor before they hit their teens...
