The importance to keep the wife happy and the Jacuzzi's adventures

Everything started last summer when a high wind blow up, removed and broke up his regular patio umbrella.

Our neighbor then,  went immediately and bought a new one. Obviously the new model, bigger and red.

 For some reason this new one didn’t work. Something was broken, and it was an embarrassing at  grandma and grandpa's annual  visit, a lot of explanations and subsequent wife's annoyance.

Then came the discussions between husband and wife,  a lot of shouting and recriminations, it seems caused for the poor man incapacity to deliver a sumptuous  patio environment, to relax in the summer  from the daily routines.

We started to think this was the beginning of the end of a marriage……

But , oh surprise!, at the  end of the summer,  one day a contractor showed up to install a canopy to cover,  guess what: a Jacuzzi. Very fancy. Not to large though.

But they installed it wrong , very close to the house window.  A new trial was necessary, and  after long deliberations  it was  reinstalled, with its long dark curtains, covering  all  perimeter. It seems they didn’t have   much interest in being spied  by the neighbors.

 I didn't  like the curtains.

At this moment the first cold nights had already  arrived, but the night Jacuzzi sessions started, to my dismay as they kick off  at around 11 PM. Music, beer,  laughing, chatting,  all covered by the curtains.

But there were only a few as the autumn cold was implacable. Thanks God!

Winter arrived and with it another set of  problems to my now friend, friend because now I share his troubles at a distance.

Maybe he,  after a deep manual  review,  learned that the roof can not withstand a lot of snow, so every time there a was a snowfall he  put all his winter gear and went out to remove the snow on the little roof with a long  handled brush. 

I can sense the feeling of anxiety,  of thinking that the canopy can collapse, whipping out  all his efforts.

Not being this enough,  at the end of the winter, nature started with sustained  strong winds for long periods of time.

 He started to get scared thinking that his little dome was going to start to fly away and with it his planned happiness for the summer.

So he laboriously went and  secured the  4 posts  with cables. You can image how his backyard will look now!

The winds passed and the little roof is there , waiting and waiting . Happy that survived and ready to deliver. 

Hope there will be not too many nights, not too laud and for not too long, but welcomed if this makes the neighbor  happy enough.

For sure there will be more incidents, we will see. Now is the time to wait  for  new developments and measure how much happiness  a humble Jacuzzi can bring to my tenacious neighbor
