Loving the size of the pad and how spread out everything is. You will not have to play twister to work on it! NICE!

Happy to report the PB has someone come fix all the irrigation they broke. I didn’t even have to raise heck about it. Pretty happy so far.

Rained over the weekend, sub delayed until Friday. Coping and waterline tile.

Day 13
Coping in! Tile tomorrow. I love it! The stone guy is so awesome! He did a sample of the wall and I did not like the stone with the coping. He said “got some time, let’s go the the stone yard”, and he literally met me up there and helped me hand pick the stones for waterfall and wall.

Now that is some AWESOME service there! WOW! I can't wait to see his art when it is done! Nice to hear about someone who cares that much about their job!

Day 18
Finished front and back of planter and wall, capped most of wall. 24 in water falls (2) will be added to planter then capped tomorrow. I was told travertine pavers will take about 7 days to lay. Looks like we will have a weather delay for that.
