Here's some proof that I've been trying to get this thing done - and just not drinking on the job...
With the help of DOG I have been framing out the deck so that the concrete guys will have a easy job to do when they pour.
FYI the 4" border along travertine coping will become a pebble border eventually. Won't order that until after concrete is poured so that I'll be able to match coloring between coping and concrete. The grand scheme is to paint the pavers(outside border and the top caps of the planters) like the border "stones" so they match the pebble border. Should make sense later,
.
Concrete guys came out and measured back in November, we decided that instead of only having 5' of deck in the deep end area, we ( meaning, uh...me) would flatten the area out and build a retaining wall in order to utilize what would've been wasted space. Not to mention, no landscaping rocks near water. Had to relocate a tree, reroute sprinklers and conduit and add another deck drain.
in conclusion,
My major goal is to have deck finished by the end of this month!
That will leave:
Finish laying travertine pavers around firepit ME
Re-stuuco paint planters/walls ME
Install fake grass PROBABLY...ME
Pebble border ME
Misc equipment plumbing ME
