LOL well without much in the way of “deals” I chose my patio project this year, which went alright. It’s about done, now! This will still happen but I can’t afford both!
Hot tub, fire pit, lots of flowers and shrubs, a few trees, patio lighting, a bunch of furniture, regrading the yard, and new seed and straw mat later I’m pretty much tapped out haha!

Fins up since 1993
Looks very good! Just need a fence and your set. My HOA requires a rod iron or plastic fence. No wood. Both are pricey.

Landscape I did myself. I did a lot of work but I’m definitely not handy at all. If I did much else it would have ended very badly!

If you do get back into getting a large tank DO NOT order from Marine Design Inc. Alex Parris straight up stole my money. I opened a lawsuit and he started slowly paying back my deposit but quit responding or making payments. After 4+ months of battling him I just gave up and ordered one from MRC. roughly 10' x 3' x 5'. I would be more than happy to discuss my experiences so just pm me if you want more info on either company.
I was an idiot for doing the paypal as a friend so i had no recourse with my bank, or paypal (trust me, i tried). Lessons learned, never again not paying the 3% for coverage.

plant some trees! Nice shade trees. The patio looks great though.
I several large oaks all around my yard. Yes leaves suck during the fall haha but it is still so worth having these 20-50ft guys all around shading us. Lots of bird action as well.

Nice job on the back yard. Stamped concert I'm guessing or did they use a roller? Side question on the fire pit. Did you guys run a gas line or using propane?
We actually started down this path over the summer. Had a few bids, picked a fella that did some work for us earlier, went to pull a permit for running a gas line to a fire pit when the city asked me for his contractor license. I'm like sure, let me get his card - it is on there. I pass it along and they call me back to say this guy isn't licensed so please stop all work. It is too bad too because this guy does some awesome cement work
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Edit: Looks like you ran a line, I see it stubbed on a earlier photo. Christ - I feel like a stalker now

Don't know if you're still in the market for a tank but the deal I was talking about just hit the sales threads on our forum.
It's a starphire 10'x3'x3' for $2500. I'd buy it myself but I'm still at least 6 months out on moving.

*Edit* Oh, the guy selling it is the owner of MRC...

Crap, I missed your sig. Glad you got one!!!
I think I'm going to go 8'x3'x26-28". 3' tall seems like it would be a pita to work near the bottom.

It's all good I REALLY appreciate you thinking of me, friend! The build thread is in my signature below.
That is a good sized tank, lots of real estate and options!
Doooo it!
