How to get a hottub to a backyrd
So there's a ground floor patio and would like to perhaps get a hot tub put there.. how could it possibly fit thru the apartment's front door and out the back door? Has anybody done this and how is it accomplished?

Gas line for pool heater
I am purchasing a pool heater. My pool is at the end of my yard about 75 feet from my gas meter (meter is inside my house)
I am going to hire a plumber to run the gas line but always like to have knowledge of task before hand. The gas line will run under ground.
How deep does the pipe have to be buried under ground 18”, 2’..?
For 75 feet how thick should the pipe be ¾, 1”..?
Do I need a shut off value at the start of the connection?
Should I shut off gas at the end of season?
My bar-b-que grill is 10’ before pool. Could I tap on another connection on to pipe to feed bar-b-que grill?
I have a 10X16 pool. The pool heater will be a 100,000 btu.
What is a comfortable temperature?
If anyone has a pool heater (my pool will only be used on weekends), what are the logistics with pool heater usage and what is the typical impact on the gas bill?
Thanks.

Brownstone pool
perhaps an insane question, but has anyone considered putting an in-ground pool in the backyard of a townhouse, where there is no access to the yard for a backhoe or any other large-ish equipment? any suggestions as to contractors? any idea of cost?

Free Above-ground Pool!
we have just bought a house with a large, relatively new above-ground
pool in the backyard, complete with heater, filtering system and
deck. we are putting in a garden so would like to give it to someone
who wants it. no cost, but you would have to pay to dismantle and
transport. happy to send pictures. contact: caxton@earthlink.net
