A Busy Month, Part II

The next weekend we tackled taking out the spa. It hasn't been used in years and though it didn't leak, it had some good size cracks in the acrylic covering. It was a matter of getting in there and cutting it to pieces so we could disconnect the pipes and pull it out.



The double wall construction in places made it a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, but we prevailed, once we figured out what was going on:


It took a couple of pickup loads of dirt to fill but looked good by the end of the day.



The next step is to put a "frame" around the edge of the opening and plant a couple of flowers for some color. I'm saving that for "next" weekend.
