Backyard Project Finally Complete! (Jacuzzi 385)

[Duffman]

Well it took 6 months for everything to come together but it's finally done. Between the Jacuzzi-385, the landscaping, and the sound/video I can enjoy from the hot tub, I'm really happy how everything turned out.

Enjoy the photos  







































Got a little web page with these pics and some related hyperlinks: http://www.members.cox.net/duffman471/Home_Landscaping.htm

Many thanks to Merrifield Garden Center in Virginia for their help with the construction

Great job, looks fantastic. Now kick back and enjoy.

Edit: Just noticed it was you duffman. I haven't spent much time on these boards lately, but I remember your posts from a while ago. What tub did you finnaly go with any way.

Edit part 2: Just noticed that the subject says what kind of tub. I really need to slow down and actually read things

Very nice set up!  I'm glad to see someone else with a spa on a patio - close to house.  I was reading some of the electrical and legal type postings and was concerned that my spa on my pool lanai deck wasn't 'legal'!

What kind of speakers are those you have out by the tub?  Also - is that a sauna in one of the lower photos?  You do know how to live!

Looks Great!

One question though - Your AC unit looks pretty far away from the house, has this recently been moved?

Very nice Duff.  Very private for a townhome.

You have a towel tree like the one I might make.

Are those Jensen outdoor speakers?

I just ordered 4 of them from Amazon.

Enjoy.

I especially like the shot of the Central Air unit.

One question though - Your AC unit looks pretty far away from the house, has this recently been moved?

Yes. When the main patio was under construction I had an HVAC contractor relocate the AC unit. It used to be located by the sliding glass door. This resulted in 2 major problems that made the $800 investment worth while

• Took up a lot of space on my patio that I wanted to free up. Also it was a real eyesore by the house
• The 385 couldn't fit on the patio with the AC unit near the door.

Since I had to relocate it to make the 385 fit anyway, I decided to pay a little extra and have it moved to the back corner of my property.

I like the bar on the side of the tub
Oh and  I also have the same speakers in my tub room and they are awsome. Enjoy.......

Yes,  Duff its a nice setup. I am looking for a robe stand too.  I may end up making one. Haven't seen one when I've been out. Also nice flatstone work. Pictures are worth a thousand words.  Is that a plasma? I'm just now finnished up my media room.

Looks great.

Well done.

My back is getting sore just looking at all the work you must have had to do.

Ha ha!  I wish I could take the credit but aside from the backyard design and the speaker setup, all the landscaping work was done by contractors.

I must admit though. my fingers were a little calloused from being on the phone with them all the time. Sometimes I felt a bull whip would have been more effective to keep the work moving forward
