The pavers arrived and they started unloading
It’s amazing how big they look on pallets, you think they have way too many stones, but as they start laying them you realize they have enough.
A base is laid down that is made of crushed concrete. On top of that is laid sand. You can see how they level out the sand below:
With the new pavers being installed, we wanted to make sure that there was no water pools that would form, so we installed new drainage. This turned out to be a lot of trouble.
We wanted to put extra drainage near the bbq area, but when the trenches were dug, we had to move several pipes. In doing so, we nicked another pipe. This last one turned out to be the hardest one to repair. I ended up tearing up a six foot segment and redoing the entire pipe.
Although this was a lot of trouble, this will really help keep the water from pooling up on the pavers and washing away the sand.
Having worked digging and trenching the yard I sure wish the spa was done. It’s going to be at least two more weeks before it’s complete.
The new border around the spa has been installed
The automation system is installed. We decided to not buy the compool system from Pentair. We found that their product was too expensive and didn’t include the salt system.
The Goldline Aqua Rite system is what we went with.
Here are some photos of the automation equipment:
