Views from the Porch

I bet you're all wondering what the heck we've done with the backyard, right? You're thinking, what the HECK have they been doing for the last 3 months?

Well, you can't see the majority of the grunt work, i.e. the irrigation system is underground! But you can see some painting and such.


First of all, we put a lot of trenches in the yard and ran the irrigation tubing. THAT took a while!


Then we put in the valves to control the irrigation (we're still working on that part - the leak hasn't stopped).

The next step was the electrical - you can see here how we put the conduit for the lighting inside the block wall surrounding our back yard. Betsy helped us a lot at this point!

This is what the finished electrical looks like with the lanterns installed (you don't see the flood lights here) and the outlets. They are all on different circuits, and there are independent switches for the two types of lights. As you can see, we also painted our block walls La Fonda Copper. I'll put more pics up later. I gotta get myself to work!

Take care and talk to you all soon!
