Before and after of the patio

[maxpower220]

We bought the house on short sale in 2010, moved in 2011. The jacuzzi "worked" and I used it a few times. It took the replacement of several items over the next few months and then the water level started going down. Since this was a drop in tub, embedded in the concrete, I could not get under it. I cut it up and removed it. That left a hole in the patio. So I priced flooring options and we went with travertine pavers. Since we needed to remove everything anyway, I redid the kitchen.

I don't want to talk about the flooring costs. I made the cabinets with some plywood, hardy board, and support lumber. The stainless doors are from ebay, the stack stone is from Home Depot, and the travertine countertop is from Floor and Decor. The stainless backsplash is from Lowes. About $1100 into the "kitchen" and I reused the frig, grill, and sink.

Took up a few days, nights, and most of the Memorial Day weekend.
