...maybe I should spell out the geography of this in a bit more detail in case that makes a difference to how people are perceiving this.
When I talk about drilling holes in walls & trailing cables through them, I'm not talking about my living room! My house has a small extension at the back that we use as a utility room and bike store; almost an outbuilding really. The proposed hot tub site is just the other side of the back wall of that room. That's the wall I'd be talking about drilling through - either to bring the hot tub cable indoors to meet an indoor extension, or to take the cable from an outdoor socket kit outside.
