New fence - different design, taller, farther back on the lot line, new gate. It'll add some depth in the front yard - once I get the screen walls built and all the other stuff done

Ryan! That is unreal! So pretty AND it has function? NICE!
Will you be doing more of this design? It is very striking!

Excellent wood work Ryan...love the plants as well with the rocks! What are the yellow/green ones called?
Love it! Random question. Did you need a deputy inspector when you had the saddles welded to the steel posts? Any special certification required during city inspection? Just comparing to our steel posts

Thanks
. Yes, quite a bit more in the front yard, and a screen wall in the backyard covering the pool equipment and back "utility" area.Thanks
. The yellow and green ones are Liriope 'Silvery Sunproof'. We were originally going to use Japanese sedge (carex morowii variegeta) but couldn't find it locally. I really like the silvery sun proof, they have a really cool purple flower.We didn't need a special inspection for the saddles, but we had to have the engineering documents for the permit and had to use a specific type of saddle. Our inspector just looked at them and said, looks good.

Good to know. Mike was thinking we may need a special inspector like when we did the rebar epoxy in our remodel
Hopefully not
. Our guy was super cool and very easy going. When do the posts go on? Have you did those footings yet?
Hopefully not
We've dug 2 footings. Probably this week
Fun times. Our footings had to be 2ft square and 5ft deep I think. Those where unpleasant to dig
The good news is, if we get the "big quake" after I finish it, we can run under the porch cover and be sure it won't go anywhere... lol! The 50' of glass on the house may be a problem, but whatever
Jump in the pool if you have more to dig! It's scorching up here 103 today - not fun outside working weather. The pool was fantastic though!

We must have used the same loads ours are 5'2" deep and 18" wide. With 1/2" thick steel
Fun times, sounds very similar. Enjoy digging - it's those last couple feet with the post hole digger that just burned me out. My shovel was about as deep as the hole! It was like leg day at the gym, squats, squats and more squats
They eat up concrete too! I think we used 3.5 yards in our 6 holes, maybe more.
Good luck setting them, it was pretty easy once we got the hang of it. Hopefully that step by step comes in handy.
I must say, the trouble free method is working well for us
That's from here - with zoom.
Clear and trouble free!
