FLY2 10,109 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I was on a family holiday several years ago, and there was one on the patio where we were all staying and it was right underneath our bedroom window. I only went in once to be sociable. I hate the damn things. Whoever invented them should be severely tortured daily. I ended up switching it off, but it still whirred away merrily, probably the filter or something. who on earth wants to sit in other people muck sipping warm cheap wine and looking as though they're enjoying themselves. Ugh ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I feel your pain, when I stay at my BIL's house in Nottm, their neighbour has one of the bloody things and when the teenagers and mates got in it with a few jubblies, the noise was intolerable and lasted till 11-00pm and later most nights ! It's undercover so even in the rain the buggers were in it. Maybe a phone call to the local council to see how you stand, mind if they don't look after the water well, they'll probably go down with some bug pretty quick, these water born bacteria love warm human fed water Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hey, don't knock hot tubs ! I once got a nice little earner lifting one of those things over the top of a garage in to some one's back yard ! He had bought one & was delivered & left in his driveway. Eight blokes couldn't get it in the back yard, I did in two minutes with a Hiab crane ! Perk of the job ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 As well ! I once lifted an engine & gearbox out of a car on the side of the road. Also lifted a concrete ornamental block on to the top of a brick pillar, nice earner's as well of many others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,361 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 My next door neighbour bought one when his wife left him, along with a high powered sports car! He took the separation very badly and desperately wanted someone to talk to, whereas most of his mates advised him to get out of his skull and forget her. As a result, I got invited round there most nights for a month or so to sit in the tub and provide a sympathetic ear! I was starting to look like a prune! He does keep an excellent wine cellar, nothing cheap! So there was an incentive. I remember the two of us sitting there with him pouring his heart out, me quaffing his best bottles and his dog sitting between us with a bone in her mouth, in the middle of November!! He got over it! A marriage counsellor I'm not! He still has the hot tub but never uses it now! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,525 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Freckles, hot tubs do seem to be a passing fad. Don't stress about your noisy neighbours, they'll get it out of their system soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 You dont need planning permission for a hot tub but some of the cheaper ones have very loud pumps and filters. My next door neighbour is a bit of a prat and has one. The cheap inflatable ones. Its louder than a lawnmower and going for hour after hour would certainly constitute a noise nuisance. Council wont normally do anything about it until you have sound readings taken (I have a sound meter from work, but they are about 20 quid from Maplins) and measured the sound levels and duration. That the council cannot ignore. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I was also somewhat puzzled as to whether the wife left along with a high powered sports car. Or the hot tub came with a high powered sports car. The mental images are priceless. :-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
