Patio Construction

In light of my other thread pissing me off. I thought I would update one that makes me happy.

I got all the malibu lights sunk into the sitting ledge and the post lights installed in the flower beds.

All lit up

absolutely beautiful, I love the finished product.

When's the partay?

I think Keith acutally leaves today and gets in on the 9th, but not sure about the first part.

But yeah, when...?

Keith, did they redo the table top?

I can come by and give you a hand with the lighting/finish out when you get home. Give me a call.

I have a friend that bought a stainless fire ring not sure what size and does not need it it was too large for his firepit. We live south of Dallas I can see what he wants for it been sittting in his garage for about a year now.

All finished short of installing my underseating lights and other malibu lights in the beds, plus cleaning the beds up.

There is a saying about doing it right the first time saves you time and money. Well someone other than me in this project is finding that out the hard way today.

Before they started to pour the concrete and before they poured the overlay I told them I wanted the existing patio ground down to fresh concrete so the overlay would adhere properly. The patio had several layers of paint and most of it never adhered well and was coming up. I brought it up several times and voiced my concerns.

Well the day came and went and all they did was wash it off, brush on acid and poured a very thin layer of concrete over the existing paint.

A week later they were putting the brick work down and had to redo a section of brick that had curred to the concrete. The overlay pulled right up when they ripped out a section of brick. That exposed a nice picture of the paint pealing up under their work. I sent it to BMR and asked what the warranty was going to be since it was not done the way I said it needed to be. I never heard back.

This morning I got an email saying they were coming out to do "the overlay and sealer will go down tomorrow". Scratching my head until my wife called and said they were shoveling up the overlay and redoing it. I guess they figured I was right to begin with.

Looks good. Not my style but nice work aside from the over lay issue.

That sux. At least it's not 1 year down the road, and you trying to get them to come back. People cut corners all the time. While it's good that you have a good company doing this, it's also good that you have some idea of how things should be done.

Hopefully they can get it corrected 100%.

Good luck!

This.

I dont understand why people just dont do it right to begin with, it is sooooo much easier and more cost effective. Well, at least they are returning to do it right now. Just sucks for them and you.

Kick. Ass.

Thanks. I can't wait to get a fire going.

Looks great!

You weren't kidding about the tools everywhere.

Thanks

Our female boxer (Mischa) was dragging their stuff all over the damn yard every night. My wife was finding tools and gloves everywhere and torn up trash. Mischa just loves destroying shit these days for no damn reason.
