This is the hot tub as it exists in the 'before' state. One of the problems is that it gets too dang hot in the Texas summers.

When I use the power auger for the footings, I'll need to be careful of the electrical here at the corner.

The current pavers are just barely wider than the tub itself.

Not much room between the tub and the house. The client has a three year warranty on the tub (two years remaining), so we **cannot** move the tub to dig footings.

The interior of the existing porch ceiling is done with hardiboard, so I will match that.

This is an AI generated rendering of what it might look like. We are going to do a shed-style roof (a single pitch) rather than a peaked roof.

During a phone call, the client let me know we **CANNOT** move the tub, so the footing has to fit here. We have to be careful of the sprinkler head as well.

Replicating some of the same views as when I did the on-site visit.
