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.

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.

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.

This tub in a rental property was in pretty bad shape.

The owner thought he might have to replace the tub surround.
