UpOn The Hill

Living Room TV and entertainment:

I know from previous guests that this upgrade was expected.
Yes, we're in more modern times now - so the old, still good working TV had to give space for something modern. Here it is:

• New TV (46" Full HD 120HZ) wall mounted
• All cables in the wall
• Background light (very nice feature)
• Surround Sound System
• Blu Ray Player
• Play Station
• misc. hook ups for your own equipment

Spa and patio:

This really was a nice addition to my place. The spa is sitting outside, facing the lake but still is placed under a roof.

This is not just a SPA. It's been specially build to fit in on the spot on the patio. It also had been specially build to ensure great usability for a rental environment.

• Two pump (jet speeds)
• LED color changing, energy efficient light
• Custom cover holder. Who wants to mess with the cover? This is a hassle free and very quick open/close solution.
• Powerful 5.5kW heater to ensure heating won't take longer than necessary. I could not find a heater with more power or it would be installed by now.
• Digital temperature control.
• Automatic water filler to remain a perfect water level.
• Easy access with two steps.

It was not just installing the spa, there was more involved.

• Run heavy duty wiring to support the electrical needs without any of the wires being visible on the walls.
• New access to and from the patio to remove the cover and put it back on
• Rustic wooden western style door.

Kitchen floor & more:

As you can see: The old floor was... So it had to go

• New floor in a brighter and more friendly color installed
• Changed out old clutter and pictures, which has been replaced with some nice new artwork and some pictures from Canyon Lake
• The old TV had to make space for a new flat one.

Doesn't the new floor make a big difference?

Burglary bars:

No more burglary bars!
Who wants to feel like being in jail? Before you ask: No, the house is not in a high crime area.
The burglary bars had been from the old days when this was pretty much the only place in the area. Gave the original owner a more secure feeling.

• Burglary bars removed
• Rustic wooden western style shutters had been installed around the house.

Carport gravel:

• Well - this gravel had served it's purpose. It was time to put something more friendly in the same spot.

Pool pump:

This actually was a very nice upgrade. The old and widly used pool pump was noisy and did use do much energy.

A good amount of $$ later there is a very quiet and efficient pump circulating the water trough the filters now.

Sorry, no pictures.
