I can't wait for Whisky to move in. The property taxes on that house should cover the education shortfall and get our teachers back to work!

Hot tubs seem so 1980's to me. We have a jetted tub in the master and have used it like twice in three years.

Be sure to post up pics, I'm looking for ideas.

Trying to convince the wifey to let me go crazy on the patio too. Screened in gazebo/three season room, two way fireplace, outdoor TV set up, built in grill, etc. We had one of those nice 'tent' thingies but it there was no place to stake it down into the brick pavers - tried to weigh down the posts with heavy bricks, but whenever strong storms blew through the wind would lift it up like a sail and toss it across the yard - we need something more substantial.
