Backyard up-grade
Now that the kids have left the nest, and some other changes in home life, I'm able to make some changes to the backyard. A new patios almost completed with a hot tub scheduled for next year. Next will be some strategically placed plantings. Most of the work has been done in the nude. of course. Even the wife's getting excited about the possibilities.

I don't know your particular home setting is. When my friends talk of getting a tub I tell them this.
We got a hot tub just a few years before we were empty nesters. Our 3 sons would use the tub and of course have friends over in it as well. With only 1 son being a nudie that meant clothing being worn. The detergents/fabric softeners and body oil from growing boys crashed the water more than I can count. Often it looked like gray soup water when they were done. I either used a lot of extra chemicals to straighten it out or had to dump the water and start again.
I put a nice sign on the tub "NO CLOTHING ALLOWED" and would not back down from that rule from anyone. Problem solved !
Funny I should stumble upon this today, as I'm draining and cleaning my hot tub. We've had our tub for 15 years now, and along with our pool, neither has ever seen a swimsuit. Nude use only is the way to go. I'm fortunate in that our back yard is very private, and we go naked everywhere on our property except for the front yard. Strategic use of umbrellas and levered canopies can be a great help if you have any neighbor's windows that invade your nude space. You don't have to wait for them to grow, or worry about them not being thick enough for protection. I have one umbrella placed over my waterfall patio area just for that reason, but that's the only possible exposure we have.
I hope you can create a wonderful naked space to enjoy!
Thanks RabbitnBunny, that's a great idea.
If anybody thinks painting can be messy try cutting brick with a wet saw. I was red head to toe. I've been doing my cutting when I've been alone, don't want to ruin any clothing, but it washes off the skin easily.

We've also used umbrellas for privacy screening. After our backyard was completed, we realized that we should have positioned the pool differently but at the time, we were only concerned with one neighbor and wanted instant skinny dipping and nude sunbathing ability so that was the best place for the pool. Now that the trees have grown and have given us the privacy we need with that one neighbor, we are working hard at the other side of the yard. It's taking a little more time than we'd like so in the mean time, when we have nudist friends come and stay, we deploy the umbrellas to give them a more sense of privacy. For me, I don't care. I've been naked everyday I can for the last 8+ yrs, in our backyard. I'm sure I've been seen and the neighbors seem to accept it so I don't worry about them seeing me.
Well Craigslist worked out for us and we were able to pick up a cheap hot tub! It's larger tan we planned, but being able to fit more people in a hot tub cant be a bad thing. I replaced the skirting and it looks like new. I was also happy to have some work in the backyard I could do in the buff. A fewnew plantings are in, and the wife and I had our inaugural soak last night!!
Congrats! Build it they will come! One of the best things we got was a hot tub for socializing.
You will learn chemical balanced tub water is an ever changing dance. I piped hot water from my tankless water heater over to our indoor tub. When I filled the outdoor tub I ran a hose from the indoor tub water line.
When the water crashes or needs changed I can do a quick dump and refill with what ever temp I set on the water heater. Otherwise that little 5KW heater takes a long time to heat the tub back up.
