Here are some pictures of my finished patio and D1 hottub. Took 6 weeks and I never thought the day would ever come. Here they are. I hope you enjoy them, and I hope this works.

Beautiful job! I love the layout of those pavers.
Can I get you to come over to my house with that wet saw?

Great work scromey. It turned out awesome. 8-)

I like the layout of the deck as well. Was it your design? Looks really good.

Thanks alot for sharing and your grass is almost as green as mine.

Cheers,

Chad

Very, very nice. �It looks like you used something as a ceiling over the spa beneath the deck joists. �Do you mind sharing what you did?

Thanks for the nice comments. A couple questions were posted about the roof and the pavers, and deck design.
The roof is a material called Ondura that I bought from a local store called Menards. $15 per sheet. It took 20 sheets to cover patio.
http://www.ondura.com/specs.htm

The pavers are unilock. 750 sq/ft on 8-10 inch gravel (over-kill, I know). Sealed with sealbest ultra brick/paver sealer.

Lastly, I cannot take credit for the design of the deck. However, I did remove a post under the walkway to open it up a bit, and reinforced the cross-beams.

It was a labor of love and I have to thank my friend Tom who had the bobcat. He is a brick mason and gave me great advise. I think he is a perfectionist so he made sure I did a good job. I just got out of thte tub and saw all these comments. Great saturday morning to wake up to. Unfortunantly my relaxing is almost over.
