This is my latest woodworking project :)
Had an “unloved” corner in our small garden, therefore we decided to turn it into a quiet relaxation spot.
Minimum square feet – maximum use.
Basicly all the necessary tools were: a handsaw, a pencil and a spirit level.
Wood is treated pine.
Photos are quite self-explainatory – and I will be happy to answer any of your questions.
p.s. I do not have any formal or informal carpentry/woodworking skills or training. This is my second “large” woodworking project. Again, no expierence, just a bit of think-ahead and quite a few evening/weekends hours.

...well Skiedra, the qualifying statement of ‘no informal training’ has now fallen by the wayside after this round of projects. You’ve certainly and informally traversed through several disciplines of woodworking.
Very nicely executed and a great relaxation oasis.

Sras, MrNorwood thanks for the kind words.
Deon – around 120-130 work hours in total
GrandpaLen – thanks for the encouragment. I mostly learned by browsing LJ and woodworkingformeremortals. Steve Ramsey made me do it! :D

pretty good looking project(s)! I’m curious about the hottub: how long does it take to heat up, do you drain it in the winter or do you have another way of heating it to keep it from freezing?

Heating the tub in the summer 2 to 3 hours. Haven’t tried it in winter yet.
I’ll not drain it for winter
