cappykat,
That's a great feeling. Before this June I could not imagine a backhoe and dumptruck in the back of my 70' x 100' lot but they managed.
May there be no surprises! :O

Phil...that is a great looking room.  Very nice!  I like the idea of a shower and I want to incorporate that in our design also.

Mendo & cappycat,
We decided to go with a screened-in porch for two reasons: my wife and I don't want to share the tub with the mosquitoes in the summer (we're about 100 yards from the Hudson River) nor do we want to shovel off the snow in the winter (we get our share).
Previously, we only rarely used our backyard due to skeeters and no see'ums. Just two nights ago my wife found a mosquito buzzing around her and its the middle of October, fer cryin' out loud!
;D Now with the porch, we're out there a lot more even when we're not in the tub! ;D

We were going to do a screened porch for the same reasons (bugs) but switched gears when we had to have a licensed architect/engineer sign off on the plans to submit for a building permit.  It just seemed to get too complicated.

We are planning to build a pagoda (at a later date) over the hot-tub and screen it in.  After the condition our backyard has been in....anything will be an improvement!

I'll second that. Very nice design, and it looks like the workmanship is first rate. The shower is a great idea, maybe I'll just have to steal that one from you. I know how you feel about projects taking longer then planned. My decks about 2 or 3 weeks behind schedule. They should be dropping the tub in on Wends day, so its possible I could be up and running this weekend.

Cappykat - Good to hear your projects finally of the ground. Don't know if you have any boys or not, but if so they must be loving the backhoe tearing up the yard. Oh by the way I hate to tell you this but it looks like your thread got hijacked.

HAAA!!  That's ok bosco...that's one of the things I love about this forum.  The more that jump in the better!

We don't have any children at home.  We have one daughter who has a 6 year old.  They didn't use a backhoe or any "big" machines, so he wouldn't have been impressed.  

The backyard is all cleared.  Can't wait til the actual design starts to happen.
