Aquatic Baths

Deep tub- back in fashion

Bathroom design trends come and go, though sometimes a few of the more appealing ones make their way back around. Freestanding deep luxury bathtubs are one such example. Where large, jetted bathtubs were a must-have for the master bathroom, deep soaking bathtubs are now back in demand. Soaking tubs are not only relaxing, but they're also simplistic and visually appealing. Freestanding acrylic tubs are easy to maintain, and serve as a comfortable bath for two.

Whirlpool vs air tub

Have you ever wondered about the difference between freestanding whirlpool bathtubs and freestanding air bathtubs? At first glance, they seem to be pretty much the same thing. However, there is a distinct difference; air bathtubs shoot streams of air, while whirlpool bathtubs shoot streams of water. You should consider this difference when deciding which high end bathtub is right for you.

Acrylic Bathtub – The Best Value for Price & Quality

Known for their lasting shine despite the wear and tear, freestanding acrylic bathtubs have been the number one choice for many homeowners. Compared to the sprayed-on fiberglass bathtubs, acrylic bathtubs are thicker, sturdier and durable and have a high value for money. With a strong cast acrylic base, these bathtubs are highly resistant to cracking and chipping and are built to withstand the test of time.

Both have their advantages and drawbacks, so making the right choice is a matter of deciding on which best suits your needs.Whirlpool tubs have no doubt changed the way people experience their bathrooms.

Take a Luxury Bath By Candlelight

Cast stone baths are great for candlelit bathing. Bathing by candlelight brings forth images of romance, calm, and relaxation. At one time, bathing by candle light was a necessity since electric lights were not yet invented. It's easy to imagine a vintage freestanding  tub surrounded by candles while someone washes up at the end of a long day. Despite the advent of modern electric lights, bathing in warm water by the soft glow of candle light has always had a sort of charming allure.

Add a Beautiful Sculpture to Your Bathroom With a Freestanding Luxury Bathtub

You've probably seen that scene in the movie when the billionaire opens the bathroom door to reveal a sprawling private room with endless mirrors and lighting, complete with a fountain in the center. Since not all of us have the square footage to make a museum out of our washroom, free standing tubs are the more practical option for adding an air of artistic luxury to a bathroom. They're functional as well as elegant, and you don't have to spend a small fortune to obtain one.

Buying a Bathtub Without Getting Soaked

Are you in the market for a new freestanding soaker tub? If so, then you have more considerations to think about than just your bathroom's color scheme. With so many modern bathtubs on the market, finding the right one for you might take a bit of research ahead of time. On the other hand, today's variety means that you're more likely to find a tub that fits your needs. 

Minimalism style in your bathroom

If gaudy, decadent contemporary tubs aren't for you, then the minimalist style might be just right for your taste. Minimal design emphasizes clean lines and a simplistic, uncluttered look that is utterly zen. Though high end bathtubs are usually associated with over-the-top style, the minimalist design of some of the best luxury bathtubs lends itself well to spa bathrooms.

Acrylic or EcoMarmor

The name ‘cast stone’ is taken from the manufacturing process, where the material is cast in a mold. Acrylic is a specialized polymer material for bathtub manufacturing.

Aquastone properties for bathroom

Advanced AquaStone™ Solid Surface is a homogeneous, polymer composite material applied in the manufacture of all new Aquatica stone bathtub models (from 2013). The main components are acrylic, modified polyester resin, and mineral filler (Aluminum Hydroxide).

Here is just a few branches from the big tree that fell which we have broken up to put in the fire pit for kindling to build a fire.


As you can see, it will be a while before we can make a dent in the huge amount, since there has been a rain once too often in the last few weeks.  The summer heat is building and this means we won't be making any fires, for fear of it getting away from us and causing a problem.  There are too many forest fires in the summer because of the dry grass and weeds.  We wouldn't want to burn down our home  :(

A Difference?

What a difference a day makes!  Yesterday, it was all rainy, windy and miserable with the hurricane coming through.  Today, it's blue skies, sunshine and the wind is calm.  The ground is saturated once again and will take several days to dry out.  The heat is coming back and that makes the humidity build.  I guess it's still a good day, even though all the things that need doing will be put off a few more days.

Hurricane.....

Today and yesterday has been rain, rain, rain!  Hurricane Bill is coming right up through the north central areas of Texas.  Today, there are strong gusts of wind along with persistent rain showers.  All the rain we have gotten this year has been received in the last two months.  Our yard has been a lake more times than I care to remember.  People have lost their lives because of flooding creeks, streams, rivers and low lying roads.  Properties have been washed away, and others destroyed by high winds along with the storms.  It's been a rough last two months here in Texas

Money Out of Pocket

It's amazing the amount of money that can be spent on keeping up a yard and garden.  Last year I remember investing large amounts just to keep the yard in city code shape and clean.  It means that if you want to have a yard that keeps standard viewing, then you are going to spend money on it.
My vegetable garden cost quite a bit of cash as well.  This leaves me to think about down sizing the coming year.  I did the type of garden one is accustomed to having in the years prior to now.  Back then you had a huge garden with all types of vegetables to support the coming harvests.  Today, it's not feasible to have such a garden considering the things that just won't grow right in certain soils and the weather.  Certain soils take a large amount of mulch to get it in shape for planting seasons.  I'm one person who is not young anymore.  I have to pay people to come and do the heavy work for me.  Here in you have more expense. 
This coming year I am considering having raised beds that can be easier controlled.  The harvest will be less but I'm sure the area involved will produce better.

Mow?

I thought that the last time I mowed the yard, it would be the last......ha, ha......the rains came again and now the weeds are growing as if to mock me.  So, in the next few days, after the ground has had a chance to dry enough, I'll need to mow.  Sure am glad I have a riding lawnmower, since this yard is almost an acre in size.  I can not see me pushing a mower over all that large area :(

Flowers in Spring

 
Here are some of the flowers and shrubs around the front and side of my home.  As I walked out the front door, this is what greets me.  Mom, planted many of these iris's back a few years ago, now I get to enjoy them.  I need to weed eat up around the house in the flower beds.

Him Mowing?

 

Yes, he finally got on the mower just to prove me wrong.  I thought that the battery had run down but he did the manly thing and showed me that the cables were loose.  So, it started right off and he had to show off his skills of mowing the lawn.  Ha, ha!

Mowing Time

 
Caught in the act of mowing.  He thinks he can out do me.......ha, ha, I mowed all the other parts of the yard until it choked out on high clover.

Weeds

Yes, I've been known to use one of these, and I was so sore next day from all the handling and carrying it around.

Portable Shed

This is just what I need to store some of my equipment.  The shed I have is full of all kinds of stuff, that I have moved out of the house.  This would be perfect to set up in the yard, as long a the high winds wouldn't blow it over.
