Bye Bye Hot Tub!

We've been talking about it practically ever since we moved in (almost 4 years ago now), and we've finally done it. Well, Michael has finally done it. :) He cut up the hot tub and removed the part of the deck it was sitting on, so now we have room for a tool shed and also to expand our garden for next year. So exciting! He did the majority of the work in one day--while I was working at The Barefoot Sage--and had it all loaded up in the truck by the time I got home. Our biggest concern was how to get the thing out of our yard. It was an old hot tub that didn't work really well, so we figured that no one would want to come and haul it away. Michael called around and found out that a landfill in Hillsboro would actually accept it for $35 and be able to recycle some of the parts. Awesome!

So now it is gone and we're planning our next steps . . . who's in favor of a red tool shed shaped like a barn?
