Thats good stuff right there! Thanks for the video, its added to my list of ideas as I have two 8 footers to move. The first one being the day after tomorrow which should be the easy one. the second one will have to come down off of a 4' deck with not a lot of room to maneuver. Seeing how "friends " are never available when their backs are needed , Im getting as many ideas as possible to handle any problems that ma arise. Good job and thanks for showing what one man, some tools and a little ingenuity and determination can do.
I loved this video, delighted by the backup plan. My only rebuttal to it is that receiving Christ is not a backup plan it is the only plan but that's merely semantics the idea is solid. Thanks for stating the truth.
I agree with your thoughts. Unfortunately, we all go with our own plan until we realize it ain't working out so well... at all. Thanks for commenting, brother.
I have had the pleasure of doing this also...mother in law and wife looking on. I used the old lift one corner and spin technique (20') I didn't quit coughing for two days. No heart attack though. Loo
What did you use for the slider please qe desperaþly need our hot tub over at new home and can't get anyone to get it over even at £500 no one is free to do it this near to Christmas
I move Hot Tub‘s every damn day and I could tell just by looking at it it was an 8 foot! The placard that you see right there will tell you the year it was made serial number and model of the tub. Even if I have two or three people with me I always use my spa wedge because why hurt yourself when you have the tools to do it safely without a struggle!!
A tape measure will also tell you what size it is. LOL It was my first solo move. So it really didn't matter to me how big it was. Perhaps if I had known, I wouldn't have tried it by myself. Then I wouldn't have had this video. :)
HELLO I AM IN FRANCE AND I DELIVER SPAS. YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU MAKE THE CARPET THAT YOU PUT UNDER TO SLIDE IT BECAUSE IT IS SUPER GOOD. OR THEN IF WE CAN BUY IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER
Frankly, there is no great answer to this question. Honestly, I was just trying to do what I knew. It was my first solo hot tub move. Today I would certainly do some things differently. But as you will find in my videos, I just do what I do. Some days it is solid. Other days, it is full of errors. Thanks for the question.
Great video! Thx! Whats the weight of the tub? Seeing you push it around by yourself makes me wonder if me and acouple friends could push my tub into place instead of hiring a truck with a crane.
That tub was about 900 lbs. dry. People can often do more than they think, but obviously safety is the most important thing. There are some things that only a crane will do. There are other things that are simply made easier by a crane. I do not hesitate to use a crane if it is safer. Have fun with your spa delivery. Thanks for watching the video. I hope you will subscribe.
That is a huge amount of weight... my masterspa is 8ft square and is 755 lbs empty.. so residual water in that probably adds a bit too for you to lift.
Whoah its 0110 in North East England...im pondering buying a hot tub for my potential new home ive not actually committed to yet...googled prices to move a spa...megabucks...so here i am at TH-cam's mercy. First 1 i come across the guy has my name!!!! David Gould. What are the odds? My surname is not common whatsoever. David....you make this look easy...fancy a trip to England? Excellent video.
@@GoodStuffVideos I deliver hot tubs in CA and I follow The Spa Guy and I've seen you on many of his videos, Ive called him on a couple occasions for pointers. The last time we spoke I told him how we use bags of ice when putting a hot tubs or swim spa's in vaults it allows you to manouver the tub into position and the ice melts not requiring dollies, keep up the good work
Thank you, sir. This was my first solo move. I remember him talking to me about that ice bag idea. I keep waiting for a good opportunity to use it. Take care and keep on keeping on.
number 1 why did you not winch tub on trailer like there design to do. number 2 why did you not stand up on 4 wheel cart then roll to trailer number 3 leave tongue on trailer so you have more leverage pulling down i been moving hot tub for 17 years first 2 with the same set up but quicker got rid the the 2 wheel trailer now use 2 wheel deck over tilt trailer 12 foot long 8 foot wide never have to separated spa cart winch cart with hot on flat or standing up
Well, this was my first attempt at moving a spa by myself, so there are probably some things I would do differently. I didn't have a winch at the time. Flipping an 8-footer up on 4-wheel cart by oneself is precarious at best. Leaving the tongue on upright trailer throws the balance off and often causes it to fall down. Sounds like you have a good system there.
Tyler Denham Yes. You can see at the 11:10 mark that this does have the abs covering on the bottom of the tub. For those concerned about scratching their deck, rolling the tub on white pipes can minimize that, though depending on conditions, some scratching will occur regardless.
Fun video to watch, thanks. I am wondering -- I see how easily you are able to move this hulk around once on the small trailer. why not back the trailer up to the wood deck and when you up end the hot tube let it up end directly onto the trailer? No slider needed then? Just wondering?
Thank you. This was my first solo hot tub move. So im.sure there were some better ways to do it. You are probably right regarding the spa dolly. But I also know that not everyone has such a trailer, and I like to show people various parts of the move in case they don't have the perfect equipment. Thanks again for your input.
So many times I thought we were about to witness an accidental death. You, Sir, are the true definition of DIY. I salute you!
Give a man leverage and ANYTHING can be moved. Great job!
That is true. Thanks
Dudes a beast. You will not last long doing this. Thank you for proclaiming Christ. He is the best back up plan!
I thought for sure we were going to see the backup plan.
You are a very strong man.
if I didnt see it with my own eyes, I wouldnt believe 1 man could do it...unbelieveable! props to u brother!
I appreciate that
You are the only 1 man hot tub mover on TH-cam, congratulations 👏.
Thanks! 😃
Thank you, what a job. Have us great ideas to move a much smaller spa. Really lends it's to " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Great video thanks the moving company wanted $800 to move ours... me and a friend did it thanks to your video
Thanks a lot. Glad you were able to safely move it and save some cash. I hope you will click on SUBSCRIBE.
Next video shows that his wife wants the spa back where it was
OMG lol I'm having the same issue. My wife is breaking my back, literally.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣
LOL
Nice work, if I had the same equipment I can also move it myself 😊

Enjoyed the Video as much as I enjoyed reading some of these comments... Thank You Sir
Well done brother!
Top effort man! Impressive! Where there's a will there's a way!!!
Holy crap you're one crazy ass dude! just watching you made my back hurt and exhausted, becareful bro!
Super smart approach. The whole thing
But gotta say I do respect the work ethic…..you rock man.
I commend you. You persistent bastard. One of the best videos iv seen. Thank you.
Love your backup plan.
I sat n smoked a whole blunt and just laughed at this video.
Dude. You are a beast. Absolute respect💪🤙
In his next video he wrestles a grizzly bear over lunch.
Haha. Depends on the lunch.
Don’t let that dude get ahold of ya! Good work brotha
Scary but impressive👏🏻
Thank you
Thank you sir. Your idea just gave me an idea! Good job!
I have the same Spa, I was able to move it about 50 feet, but was not able to stand it up on end. I liked that slide method you used.
Respect to this man
I appreciate it
wow that tub is huge and you showed it who is boss!
You and I man, we are like twins. We can do anything. We use our head and anything is possible.. GREAT Video

Whete can we get a slide thing like that. Also, what kind of Airbag thing did you use?? Nice work. God bless
Oh man!!!!! I am thrilled you told people about Jesus!!!! Subscribing just for that!!! Fantastic job with the spa move, too!
Thank you. I am glad you appreciate it Shine that light
I have had the pleasure of doing this also...mother in law and wife looking on. I used the old lift one corner and spin technique (20') I didn't quit coughing for two days. No heart attack though. Loo
Great work, ideas and video! Thanks for sharing. It's also great to see so many comments and respect for 'manliness'. You're a great example of it! :)
How do you like the wooden deck for the hot tub? Was thinking wood but worried about it rotting out!
Damn dude! Nice work. I moved mine the same way but on dollies but it's a 4 person and probably 1/2 the weight!
Is this a special trailer made for this job?
Great job... ✌️🍺🍺thx for the tutorial
I wish you were in my area. The hot tub I intend to purchase would be easier for you. Plus you'd have my help. How far are you from Harrison Georgia?
Nice job! Can you tell me where I could get the crowbar with wheels (3:44) I'm looking for this one, but seems hard to find.
It’s part of the spa dollies that’s he useing the whole thing goes around 8000$

Why not bring the trailer to the deck and wench the tub on? Just curious?

14:04 Headset wearers beware.
Sorry about that.
Oh, I just thought that because my logitech speakers came from my aunt's estate they were haunted. that's all.

For the trailer to fall you gotta love it you know? 😂
Great job! 😊
that was impressive
What is that slide? Where do I get one?
I laughed. Surprisingly entertaining for a dry subject.
Thank you.
Where did you get the trailer?!
Where can I get that mat mover? Thanks!
Your crazy man you looked like that trailer was going to flatten you
Sometimes it feels like it is going to flatten me. LOL
You are a machine! 💪
That is a huge amount of weight... my masterspa is 8ft square and is 755 lbs empty.. so residual water in that probably adds a bit too for you to lift.
Did you buy that slider or you made it? I saw a few places selling them just wanted to get one i know works for sure
Go to www.SpaDolly.com and look for sled. Tell them David at Good Stuff Videos sent you.
Whoah its 0110 in North East England...im pondering buying a hot tub for my potential new home ive not actually committed to yet...googled prices to move a spa...megabucks...so here i am at TH-cam's mercy.

David....you make this look easy...fancy a trip to England? Excellent video.
A man amongst men...
David you're a Beast man.. Nice work Sir. What's the name of the inflatable bag used to lift it?
You are the man!
Very impressive
how much easier life is when you have friends - very impressive regardless thank you
It is true. Your friends seem to scatter when it is time to move something. Ha.
What is the sled sheet you are using
How did your hernia surgery go?
I'll let you know when I have it. LOL
Is that a hot tub dolly attached to the trailer?
The entire trailer is called a "spa dolly." There is a cart that can be made from parts of the trailer.
Confused: at 10 minutes there's a noise and the tub lifts by itself?
It is magic. :)
Actually, it is an air bag that inflates to the shape of a wedge. That sound is the wet/dry vac filling the bag with air.
Where did you get the sled from?
Another TH-cam guy named Spa Guy sells them or something similar
This is an amazing video
Thanks, dude.
what was the slider thing
What is the name of the slidey pad thing you are using?
We actually sell the slider.

man ,,so big power to move a spa
You are The Man 😊
Thank you, lady. 😉
How thick is plastic sleigh he is using?
About 1/4"
I think the wife is trying to collect life insurance.

I didn't have a winch at the time.
Flipping an 8-footer up on 4-wheel cart by oneself is precarious at best.
Leaving the tongue on upright trailer throws the balance off and often causes it to fall down.
Sounds like you have a good system there.
@@GoodStuffVideos good luck to you every move is different be careful and happy new year
Thank you, sir. All the best to you and yours.
Watch this when your drunk! It’s better than Netflix
Hahaha. Truth.
Does that tub have avs plastic bottom some tubs can really tear up a deck, If you are just sliding it around.
Tyler Denham Yes. You can see at the 11:10 mark that this does have the abs covering on the bottom of the tub. For those concerned about scratching their deck, rolling the tub on white pipes can minimize that, though depending on conditions, some scratching will occur regardless.
David Gould cool thx for the reply, really great vid.
What a beast!
Lol I was waiting for him to throw the pump hose over into neighbor's yard
What type of slider is that? What’s the name?
Contact Billy@thespaguyinc.com to get the slider. Tell him David sent you. Thanks.
Hello
Do you know if we can get this carpet in Quebec. Canada?
Fun video to watch, thanks. I am wondering -- I see how easily you are able to move this hulk around once on the small trailer. why not back the trailer up to the wood deck and when you up end the hot tube let it up end directly onto the trailer? No slider needed then? Just wondering?

Chris Budge No problem. Thanks for the comment.
You my friend are a beast
Good job!
NikkiPinto Thank you!
Why can I not find one of those Airbags :/
He made my 1 inch feel like a half inch.
Superhuman!
He should of put that airbag lift under the back end of the trailer to help him level off the trailer instead of trying to only use his weight.
That is another way. Just have to watch the metal angles on the trailer that may puncture bag.
RESPECT!!!!!!
what type of sled is that and what size/type of trailer
You should be able to find the trailer at www.SpaDolly.com and contact Billy@thespaguyinc.com for the slider. Tell him David sent you. Thanks.
is your name the Hulk
