Hi, This is my 1st post and I really need some help. Long story short-signed contract 9/30/06---started 4 1/2 months late on 5-18-07. So far the have left off the steps next to the spa, left out the leaf/debris trapper system, cut the phone line, run over and broke the skimmer (thats in concrete!) . Also we wanted a grotto with waterfall top-- well after redoing it 4 times they hired an architect!! it's still not going to look like the picture I gave them but they at least made progress. Well 2 months later we have no rock, tile, coping etc. They decided to remove a 4 ft section out of the gunite to fix the steps next to the spa---wonder how long that will take? The problem at hand today is the spa itself. It is flush with the ground on the shallow end of the pool. Problem is the depth. There are no steps in side and the seat is 22 inches below the top (without the rock coping). There's no way I can step in that or anyone else either! When I sit inside my feet don't touch the bottom either. Also it has a spillover notch and judging by the height of it the water will almost hit my chin. If it was a raised spa it wouldn't be as big an issue because you could sit on the edge and step in --but not from the ground. Also the ledge/seat inseide is not really wide enough to add a step. All we can come up with is to cut a section out of it also and put a step outside of the spa area and then another into the spa-- it would just change the shape a little . Also I noticed that all of the jets are close to the seat--is that right? I wouldn't recommend their circles either--very far off. Also I found out today that he is chging me $1500 for a plain aquabot when I can buy the T4 for that much---I sent an email to cancel that and I'll order myself---I think he's screwed up the contract enough to not give me any grief! Any ideas--besides beating him? TIA
