you can rent packers at homedepot for almost nothing, that loose gravel is going to really settle and make that tub really unlevel. Just from the look of the retaining wall being uneven, youre going to be redoing that faily quickly.

Careful when the Cover rests on the gravel/rocks that you don't get any holes. Moisture gets into that stuff and makes the cover heavy as hell. Hopefully you don't track any dirt in too, enjoy! I use mine like crazy.

I bet the dryer vent will keep it smelling nice! LOL looks good to me. The wife wants a tub but we dont have room for one in the yard.
