WTF put a shed around a hot tub?

It's like saying: "we KNOW it's a dirt-sex-pool, we KNOW YOU KNOW it's a dirty-sex-pool, we know YOU know WE know You know We know it's a dirty-sex-pool, we're just making it BLATANTLY bloody obvious that we USE it as a dirty-sex-pool, and we don't like you watching!"
I did wonder why, apparently it was in the huge garden (this is a massive property that is rented out for groups of 16-20 at a time) but neighbours complained about the noise from the late night hot tub. They then moved it to the back of the house furthest away from from neighbouring houses and now put a shed round it ..... i just built it rather than figure the logic. If i was using it i would want to be able to see the sky while having a beer rather than a shed roof

Is it me or is it next to the front door?
Back door mate on a sun trap patio ....the house has entrances on all 4 sides to access different gardens and patio areas
So the only thing Rockburner got wrong is the shed is to stop people listening to the sex pool rather than watching it.

Had my lamps tested for the first time in 10-12 years!

No change despite the frequent and furious wanking sessions.

So, from your photo, there's no waterproofing between the pool and the floor?

How long before that rots?

Doesn't appear to be PT lumber either & the left rear corner doesn't appear to be resting on the slab?

Doesn't appear to be PT lumber either & the left rear corner doesn't appear to be resting on the slab?
Fuck me, tough crowd tonight :D

The timber is treated already. Its not a solid floor as we built in 5 mm gaps every third board to allow drainage for any spillages. We did suggest not having the floor and placing tub on slab due to water etc etc but customer specified the floor had to go in so the slots will allow drainage to the slab, hey ho. And its all solid and flat on the slab. First pic was just laying stuff about and not measured or levelled.



And just for clarity for Yorick to call ANYONE ugly is like standing in a green house and throwing an entire bag of gravel at every single pane of glass :mrgreen:

ooooh, all the PT stuff here is a different color. Some is kinda dark brown, but the stuff for ground contact is usually blue.

Quite a busy day with various appointments and French lesson

The big thing was in physio - I managed to lift my right arm up (sort of) straight. Ok, with a bit of help from my left arm. But still. I'm sodding ecstatic!!!



I know - posted the video elsewhere. But, sod it. I'm seriously seriously happy about this!!!

Had the bad news that my longest standing client has been diagnosed with terminal leukaemia :( I’ve looked after her for the best part of 16 years. Lovely woman with a lovely family, she’ll be a great loss :(

Also had another builder out to price up the garage build, just need him and the other one to provide their quotes in a timely fashion.
