CLIMBING ON OR DIVING FROM THE WATERFALL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
This is not only a safety issue but the construction of the waterfall is not meant to hold that kind of weight and could crumble.

A hot tub is not a swimming pool and it has additional dangers posed by its design and intent. Entrapment, injury or a rise in body temperature can all happen when children are allowed to "play" in hot tubs. No splashing or vigorous play of any kind is allowed when in the hot tub.

DO NOT PUT SOAP OR ANYTHING IN THE HOT TUB TO MAKE BUBBLES

Turn the propane on/off at the tank to avoid the regulator shutting down the grill entirely.

Grilling utensils can be found under the pantry in the kitchen.

please...

Please clean the grill after every use. There are brushes to left of the grill or in the BBQ cabinets.

The control to light the fire pit is a handle on the house (rear exterior of garage).

It is best to have two people to light the fire pit to avoid a buildup of gas before lighting. One person turns the gas on while the other holds the lighter near the metal fire ring (like lighting a gas stove by hand).

please...

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH THE FIRE PIT GAS CONTROL HANDLE

There is a ceiling fan in the hallway that acts to cool the house during the summer, remove cooking odor, or just generally circulate air.

The shower takes a while to heat up.
