Thank you! The dry side will have a poured in place countertop on the left with a sink and bbq. The wall under it will have stacked ledgerstone. The right side counter will get tiled with hexagon mother of pearl glass tile and the wall underneath will get color coated

The fence is completely laid out and ready to be put in after Brian's done. We got a lot more decking in and my parents stopped by. My dad decided he would come out of retirement just to brown coat the back wall of the pool - under the countertop of the bar. It's so much nicer and smoother now.

It's composite-it better last through the apocalypse

Yes, pressure treated sleepers, hidden fasteners and of course glazed sugar cookies. What am I? A barbarian?

It's a capped wood composite from Moistureshield. Their pro line and the color is ipe.

[emoji23][emoji1305][emoji23]I was at work yesterday and didn't start helping until I got home after 7. I swear it smells really good

I hope so! It's getting hot here!

Thanks Kim! I was surprised by how heavy these boards are and how good they smell. They smell like coconuts and sugar cookies

I took a picture last night before it got too dark. The decking has begun! I'm excited to finally start wrapping things up

Mike and I are here laughing at how stupid the concrete we poured today looks in the picture. People are probably wondering where we are going with this. I promise we have a plan and you won't even see the concrete.

Yes just like our pool will be shirt and shoes optional

Mike finished the fence post footings and I finished the grout. He's over by the equipment pad. Tomorrow he'll start the composite deck and we should be ready for plaster on Thursday

What is he thinking? Smh

We installed our own. Like Matt said it's got a lot of steps to make sure you end up with a quality product. I'm not sure what brand we ended up going with and I really like it. Mike might know.

Yay [emoji1303]

Yeah those are both the reasons I switched it up. This one seems too good to be true...but I'm crossing my fingers it's all it says it is

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] we are an anti-lawn household too.

I'm not really sure if you're using your lawn mower right [emoji848]

So it isn't an epoxy grout. It's a single component grout. I told Mike I was going to get epoxy went to the store saw this and changed my mind. The first grout joint was a quick learning curve - especially in the heat. I really like working with it though so we'll see how it holds up. I might...

I definitely liked the gunite phase too but the best is yet to come! It's looking great!

It's fine for an outside planter it's not that great in eifs because the moisture gets trapped between all the layers. If someone kicks it it'll be fine. Of course it depends on how hard because you could kick a hole in a door if you try hard enough

Yeah I doubt they use eifs in Florida

DM me if you get stuck!

It's strong, I swear! Foam is used in all sorts of buildings - in fact I'd bet all of Vegas is foam. My dad ran a commercial and residential stucco business for over 30 years and foam is one of their trade secrets (although I'm not sure how secret it is anymore)

Ok here is my planter. I'll fill it with dirt after our lights get delivered and installed. Mike working on his fence posts. The "wood" was delivered last night for our deck

lol it's not that bad!

We ordered 12v. The rope can be cut every three feet and connects into a power cord that is specific to rope light. That gets connected to a junction box (or straight to a transformer if it's close enough) then from the junction box to a transformer then to the control panel. We bought it from...

No because I'm inpatient. But that sounds like a good idea. I'll try it on the others

I would say it is a very easy project. I bought an 1 1/2" foam sheet from the insulation section and took off the skins (the plastic and metal sheets stuck to it) to expose the raw eps. Then I cut it using my electric carving knife. I glued it together with pl premium construction adhesive and...
