Hot Tub Delivery and Various Pictures

I made a trip home to accept delivery of the hot tub. The stamped concrete had to be stained first. This is the front porch. It's supposed to be shades of brown. I don't think it came out very good. I have a friend who also has a stamped concrete sidewalk and she doesn't think the color came out very well on her sidewalk...

The hot tub arrived, right on time! It's a Thermospas Atlantis Silver.

Here's some pictures of the hot tub in place.



The posts have not been attached yet, since we didn't know what would need to be removed to get the hot tub in place. They will be straightened out now and attached and the screen can be put in.

They only needed to remove one post from this side.

Here's some other pictures that I took during that trip. The rain garden near the driveway on the southern side of the house is filling in nicely.

This is the rain garden on the northern side of the house. It's the bed that can be viewed from the hot tub patio area. The shade cloth is for the shade plants that will be shaded when the trees get a little spread.

There's a corner table in the center of this picture. It has little cut-outs for resting pool cues. I bought two if these tables for the outside corners of the room, but there wasn't enough room... I wish I had found these tables while we were in the planning stages.

The grading is completed, grass seed and hay has been spread.

The appliances and faucets are in place. I decided to go with Delta faucets. This is my kitchen.

This is Mom's kitchen.

We have the same appliances on both sides. The ranges are Kenmore 94183.

Range hoods are Kenmore 5535.

The refrigerator has a door-in-door on the right, for quick access to the most used items. They are Kenmore 73065.

Dish washers are Kitchen Aid KDFE304DSS.

Washers and dryers are GE GTWN5650FWS and GE GTDS560EFWS.

I've asked the builder to move the hanging bar above each dryer down about a foot...
