Assess Current Landscape & Establish Design Philosophy

And here's a couple things that I want to point out. If you guys are sauna shopping, you see where that tripod is? That's where we were thinking of putting it over here. Except the view would be great looking out because this sauna we want to come. We want to take that into consideration. We're crawling up on these janky old stools trying to get at this control panel. How do you eat an elephant? That's it. [Music] We've got issues that need tissues. All right. So, right here we've got I I think I call this like the dead zone, Frankie. >> Cuz it don't get used. >> It don't get used. It's ugly and it's an eyesore from the windows. When you look down, you try to look over this to look out, >> right? >> So, one of the things I always warn people about is, you know, I I always have people when they're designing a landscape, they want to have this area way off out in the distance and then uh you know, a fire pit and they're think they're going to go visit it and nobody ever uses it. >> Use it the first few times and that's it. >> That's it. So I always say bring everything you want as close as you want but to stop thinking about the design from the point of where you're at but from where you where you will see the design the most from where you spend the most time. Meaning a lot of people create the design if they want a fire pit way out there. They put it out there and then they design it with the thought of them sitting around the fire pit >> but they see it more often from the windows. So, anytime I'm trying to design something, I go into the house and I go, "Where are you going to be looking out the most, >> right? >> It's weigh the amount of time that you're going to be at the feature versus the amount of time that you'll see the feature. It's a completely different mind frame. So, we're going to try to take that into consideration and completely gut this area and start all over again. And I think we're going to break this down into components. We want to create a focal point in this zone that is a reason to be there. Okay. But it also we want it to look good from the windows. So there's two things we're trying to accomplish there. >> Make it look like it was designed for whatever we're going to put here. >> Yes, agreed. And one of the other challenges is the stairs are just jacked at this point. Right >> now, we could reuse these stairs. I could rebuild them. In fact, I have. In fact,…
