We are considering one but in talking with a neighbor she said they put one in a previous home and used it every day - for a month, and then not at all. What has been the experience of others who have had one? Do you use it a lot or did it turn out to be a waste of money?

Also, can anyone give me a ballpark estimate for the incremental cost of an in-ground hot tub? We already have a quote for a birdcage and are now considering doing a hot tub as well. We have someone from T&D coming out in a couple of weeks to give us a quote, but I'd like to get a rough idea first. (Side note: couple of weeks to get a quote??? Wow, business must be good!)

How about ongoing costs of heating it and chemicals? Is the maintenance a real chore or just a minor item?
