How We Wrangled the Beast: Removing a Hot Tub the Yee Haul Way
Hot tubs might be all about relaxation when they’re in use, but when it’s time to say goodbye, they’re about as stubborn as a mule stuck in the mud. Recently, the Yee Haul crew tackled one of these backyard beasts, and it was no easy feat. But with a little ingenuity, some elbow grease, and a whole lot of Yee Haul spirit, we got the job done.
The Challenge: A Backyard Goliath
This wasn’t just any hot tub—it was a weathered, oversized relic of relaxation that had been sitting in the same spot for years. The yard was tight, the landscaping was unforgiving, and the hot tub itself felt like it weighed as much as a herd of cattle. Our mission: remove it without damaging the yard, the house, or our backs.
Step 1: Leverage and Straps
First, we had to figure out how to get the straps underneath the tub. Using pry bars and some trusty scrap wood, we created enough leverage to lift one side at a time. It was a delicate dance, with plenty of teamwork and steady hands, but we finally wrangled those straps into position. The tub was ready to take flight.
Step 2: The Big Lift
Next, we brought out the engine lift—our version of the mechanical cavalry. With the straps secured and the lift in place, we slowly hoisted the hot tub off the ground. It wasn’t fast, but it was steady and safe, just the way we like it. Watching that massive tub rise into the air was a sight to behold—like a mechanical rodeo in slow motion.
Step 3: Loading It Up
With the hot tub dangling in midair, we carefully maneuvered it over to the trailer. Lowering it onto the bed took precision, patience, and a lot of “steady now” teamwork. Once it was secured, we tied it down tighter than a saddle on a wild stallion and got it ready to haul away.
Plan B: Tear It Down
Now, not every hot tub removal gets the engine lift treatment. In the past, when space was tight or the tub was too far gone, we’ve resorted to good old-fashioned deconstruction. Armed with saws, crowbars, and determination, we’ve taken hot tubs apart piece by piece. It’s not glamorous, but it’s effective—and it’s a surefire way to wrangle even the most stubborn of backyard beasts.
