The shed location is not ideal for sure. However I do have a path to it going in front of the house along the lower side. I do have a work bench in it for some stuff. But mostly it’s storage. In winter the lawn equipment will be there and it will be in the garage for summer. The ATV is in the shed and that’s perfect as the trails are out back down the mountain.




These go to eleven.

That turned out great. Love the stone work.

I love pools, myself. Never understood the hate, even after having three at different homes

I had pools most of my married life and love them. The salt water generator on this is a game changer. Other than adding acid now and then my chemistry has been perfect and easy to take care of. It's a small pool so it's warm. We love it.
Maybe just different circumstances, but I loved the pool for the years my son was growing up. The pool/birthday parties, end of season baseball parties, even weekend sleep overs and the pool was always being used. Loved having kids enjoy it. Now that my son is grown and out of the house, the only use the pool gets now is when I finish the yard and am gross, I jump in to cool off / wash off before going in the house. In my situation I just don't think the ROI on it is there fore me anymore. I absolutely hope you get a lot of use out of yours and enjoy it.

Thought I'd throw this updated picture. Drone took it. I think there are more to come, maybe a video. But this gives a great perspective. It's a bit bigger picture than I usually post. Forgive me for the size but I think the quality warrants it.

Beautiful, at night when you sit around it with just the pool light on it's magical. Well done!

That is beautiful. Attention to detail pays off for sure, especially in your case. Simply AWSOME.

Beautiful. Very well done. I love the shapes and profiles of the bricks. It is all quite clean, which I love. Congratulations.

Still....I think maybe you forgot some design elements for defense...

The paver work is awesome . Concrete probably would have cracked anyway as the ground settled from all the excavating .

If you can see the sniper shooting position what good is it? Wink
