Progress

The work to extend the bluestone decking has been done (pictures to follow). This definitely fell into the "screw it up and waste a lot of money" category so professionals were used. We extended in two areas:
  • for the BBQ kitchen
  • for the hot tub
Figured it would be easier/cheaper to get these done at the same time. Now I need to tidy up the landscaping, raise the grass level (the grass was sloping, the deck is level, so now the grass is about 3" below the deck where they meet) and adjust the sprinklers a little so that more of the lawn and less of the deck is being watered.

Hot tub has been ordered, and should be delivered next Friday 19th. Went with a pretty big unit from Hot Springs Spas - the Grandee - it seats 6-7 people, has 50 something different jets, a waterfall and massage thingies. More technology in it that the space shuttle.

This is the same outside color we chose, but our inside is a dark granite color. Need to find an electrician to hook it up, which falls into the "screw it up and die" category, so a professional will be used.
