Remodel: Backyard Underground Work

Sunday, 23 August 2009, 6:00am

Within a few days after setting the pergola posts, we started mapping out all the underground work that we need to do before concrete was placed. We wanted to make sure that the pergola has electricity for the lighting and future ceiling fans that would be installed. We also wanted to make sure we were able to run the sprinkler electrical system for the backyard so we ran a conduit to the garage from the backyard. On the east side of the pergola area we made plans for a planting area and ran some conduits for electrical and water.

I was also able to capture a picture of Charlie relaxing with our neighbor Miriam who has lived next door for over 50 years. She has so many great stories about working and living in Salt Lake. I’ll definitely have to dedicate a few posts to her. I also got a shot of Jake inspecting the progress.

Our outdoor furniture also arrived and ended up sitting in the house for a few weeks. They are very comfortable and I’ll post some more pictures of those later on.

Enjoy the pictures from the 5 June 2009:
