When done it should look like this but without the slotted roof or table, chairs and grill.

I remember your setup and know you took your time and shopped around. What spa did you ultimately decide upon?

You have the biggest deck around (cue the Jeff Foxworthy Big Deck skit).    :) As someone who is working with contractors right now and attempting to plan out decks, I am even more impressed and envious.  I wish I had the skills to build that.  

Keep the pics comming!

I am getting the Caldera Aspire. I will be building my own steps in front and a bar on either side. There will also be a fire pit in the right hand corner.

Only 12 days to go. My deck is all ready for it, just have to run the electric for it next week.

Here are somw updated pics.

The decking will be added after the tub is installed so I can run it up to the sides at the base.

Indeed, it looks fabulous!  I have no talent in that area.  :'(  I'd have to pay someone a LOT of $$$-yikes!

At that price I saved about $60,000 building it myself. ;D

Your deck looks beautiful.  I can't believe you are building that yourself!  I want a fire pit too!  Let us know how you like the Caldera spa.

That is such a beautiful spot to have the hot tub.  It will look great!

   I got the electrical all hooked up. All that is left is waiting for the spa to be delivered.  ;D
I will post pics when that happens. The dealer called today to confirm delivery for Monday.
