Four weeks or so until the hot tub arrives.

Just saw your site prep images. You spent some time working this thru and a good deal of money. Great job!

Guess I could have got fancy and made some forms to use less concrete and more dirt.  Thought that would be more time consuming for me.  The extra concrete wasn't that much more vs time savings.  6" one end and I think it was 14" the other end.  Probably not going anywhere.

Great job!   your rear neighbors have a garage or shed with rear windows?  Looks like the 2nd story windows would give a  view into your tub!

Yeap, the window in the shed not a problem.  Although, when we moved here in 2008 there was a renter living there.  My neighbors to the north with the deck they can stare straight into the tub.  Not so happy about that (she is cute not so much her husband), but I have plans.  For now I just slide the cover off, stand it up and block their view.  Bought some bambo (Spectabilis) to provide some privacy.  Thinking about how I will plant it and control it.  Either in the ground with rhizome barrier or some sort of container.  Maybe Amy and her landscaping crew can give me some pointers.  A lot of work to be done.

I see you bought a chevy so you can actually haul dirt unlike a ford.

J-345.  I'm sure that many of the other hot tubs out there all great.  What I can say about this one is we like it a lot.  The price staying under 10 grand was nice.  Nice variety of different types of jets and having the one deep seat is nice.  The power of the jets for me is perfect.  I can't image wanting any more power including on the foot jets on the dome and the other two that are below the seat but above the floor.
