Try this: 1. Using a piece of carboard around 2' W x 4' L trace your bond beam from the bottom. 2. flip carboard over and make another line parrallel with traced line offset by the overhang distance you like. 3. cut a few pieces of cardboard that are the size of your coping as it comes off the...

If you need to create eased edge on cuts use an angle grinder with medium concrete cup.

Two possible solutions: 1) if intellicenter accepts inputs, wire switch as momentary contact to the intellicenter input board. 2) utilize latching relay: input 1 is energized relay from intellicenter. input 2 is momentary switch(s), as many as you want. A latching relay changes state whenever...

Couple observations: 1) Part of rail that is underground is not going to counterbalance end of rail. As stated above a deep footing, at least 36" with significant mass 12-18" dia. is needed. Instead of expansion bolts, embedded j-bolts (foundation) or a welded formation that is tied to rebar...

Bonding in the electrical code is defined as creating a continuous interconnected path such that there can be no voltage difference between the components. In theory this could happen at any voltage but, in realty this can only happen at zero voltage which is ground. Ground is an electrical...

They are connected, but they are separate systems. The load panel is bonded on the outside and grounded (bus bar) on the inside. As the inside and outside are the same piece of steel, they are in fact connected. But for the purposes of code, they are separate. Such is the smoke and mirrors...

Beautiful! Are they cutting the blocks on the property?

Butter sticks = granite or limestone blocks? That will look awesome!

We use these on each panel or sub-panel https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-50-kA-Home-Electronics-Protective-Device-HEPD-HEPD50/300716359

Keep in mind town building inspectors are looking for code violations specifically and workmanship to a lesser extent. The issue you are faced with may not be noticed by the inspector. Even if it is, the inspector may not have the knowledge to evaluate. If you are truly concerned about a...

Call the local building inspector or the town engineer. Ask them for recommendation for a Professional Engineer or an inspector with soils experience. Either one can give you a professional opinion on the situation and the any appropriate remediation.

That looks incredible! Love the bench one step from the sun shelf. If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for coping and decking?

Love the lids. Tremendous attention to detail. What type of autofiller?

Do you mind sharing the name/source of the glass tile?

Outstanding! Job well done.

How do you supply air to all those jets? I didn't see a blower and guessing no Hartford loop in an overflow spa.

That's a great idea. Is there a minimum width requirement?

Is there a ledge below the tiles on the raised bond beam?

Do you have a pool build thread? Looks like you put a lot of thought into spa. Are the seats radiused to the wall?

Why did they leave lights loose?

Would you fill joints with something other than polymeric sand?

Bond beam area looks like bucket strikes from backhoe. Possible they hit shell with teeth then scraped up to remove coping. From the pictures looks like 2-3' level strike (teeth) then breakage up or down. Maybe they contemplated destroying shell and made few sample strikes. Not that it matters...

1. In CT you can do whatever you like as long as PE signs off. Check Craigslist. 2. Use soft block for sides. Wont help with your physique. 3. Upgrade to glass panes.

Try a pencil end concrete vibrator and water on the areas that are still sinking. A jumping jack can be used on the low spots. Alternate vibrating and spraying with a hose. Good chance you have a large air pocket or debris that is moving slowly.

Too late now. But, best way to compact deep fill is to flood it with soaker hose. Very low pressure, just let the water run for a week or so to soak fill slowly from the top. Thereby compressing the fines into the air pockets.

Most of the suppliers will do the engineering and provide stamped drawings. These products are used frequently in commercial work.

Might consider light guage steel framing. Basically C channels screwed together. Much lighter and 2-4" shallower than LVLs. Metwood is a company we deal with on East coast. There are few others on West coast. They can also custom build a beam out of c channels with rebar welded inside corners to...

Do you have pictures? Stainless steel does not rust. But, if it is scratched by carbon steel the softer carbon steel will settle in the scratch and rust. The solution is surprisingly simple. Rub it with acid, a lemon will do. Sounds like you have a large area problem. Perhaps they prepped...
