Let the digging begin!

Phase one of our projects "To Be Done" is underway.

It's funny because the first 'improvement' that I started on has nothing to do with 'house' per se, it of course has everything to do with...Anyone...Anyone?

Yes - Me!

My first purchase was a spa/hottub. Many of you know that I have a rather small yard and my dreams of a pool are just that, dreams only. So I have saved a bit of space for a 'water feature'.

Now many want fountains, or ponds or just a mist of the hose. I want a 450 gallon bucket of water that not only bubbles and warms but - will keep me wet all at the same time! In the summer, I have been told to leave the heat at just below body temp so that it cools me off on a hot summer day.

No more looking over the fence with my big brown eyes hoping the 8 year old next door wants company in the pool with her. Never happens. Probably best - she would probably want me to get my hair wet and play. She wouldn't let me sit on the step and enjoy a frosty, fruity concoction. Plus my cigs would get wet.

This model comes minus little children - though they can get in - because I have the 'Power' - muuuaaaahhhaaaa!

It has cup holders and headrests. It has jets for your neck, back and feet. The jets are adjustable and can be shut off so the mimic of raging waters to smooth stream can occur. Recliners built right in so you aren't just sitting on a bench. Its large enough that others can get in with me (as long as there is not foot fungus among us) and no one will feel creepy about touching knees and the such. It has aromatherapy options...Lavender anyone? And Ozone. Ozone is something that they have created so that you don't have to treat with harsh chemicals - thus and therefore...your plants surrounding your tub will not die because of the bleach and you are able to get out and climb into bed without having chlorine skin and hair. Peeyew!

The digging begins Saturday. With my slave labor wages - I have convinced a senior boy to come over and level my ground. I asked his sister if he had any friends that she would like to see digging a hole sans shirts - she got a magical gleam in her eye and HB flicked me in the head.

Sorry HB - Boys are evil!

Let the digging begin!
