All the tile work out here on the deck these beautiful. Retook tiles and to install at least 123 of them but they're still another dozen or so that have to be put in right and yeah that's right now wait on those and in yeah that those put in looking good. Yes and you've got. Well you've got all this enormous amount of work done in terms of the slab but what about the lanai construction. We'll let my -- and about a week and a half Bob and it should go up and about three days really -- pretty much up remain -- to -- design -- make and they just assembling here -- what are they doing here with a roll of black stuff -- put a little protective barrier America says you can -- we're doing the landscaping and I don't want to get the day the slab and then trial and everything -- full of dirt and were trying to -- protective barriers are good precaution absolute yeah. And then over in this corner you've got some rough masonry work still going on tell me what you're doing here. This hairs -- barbecue grill and they were pretty excited about this is kind of nice design and of course we warmed it all up as you can see and then. Supported in place we've got that's a number five steel run it in here and there -- block this. Former brown and wall laying here the grill to drops in barbecue grill okay so it's actually -- gas grill BR yeah. Well this is that the utility don't seek to open up north when you you know building outdoors and making something. There's only about three inches thick out of concrete like that -- there's -- get -- that except it's gonna have power of course about what will take care fixing up all these little -- rough periods and then it's the whole thing's gonna be accomplished could be pedestals and everything yeah yeah. And it's under the roof just so you know it's raining until cooked hot your idea of spending a noisy in here all right. You got almost all of Florida and still few accent tiles to go out. Yeah with the way for you to comment from the artist this is this this is hard work is we've all seen mosaics. And sure Dolly them into on top of the slab. Was very very difficult to do these -- it yet. Then you're missing -- you ones to. -- over here comes are you eating -- hop or we're gonna have the legs embedded where these orange spots are there going to be what elect made out. Three inch tubular steel. -- in -- well for right now while in the table for the political upshot. Okay that this is this quarter inch steel. --"

" Death -- diameter fields where they're not welcome here we've set a ball in the game with a garden. Or from. And he is just checking to make sure you get the right angle going after I don't want to look at back. Now why do you have to -- building this whole thing out of steel. The pro visit if you're older support itself on this -- have we have given the structure and rather than dirt -- wool and plywood which would. Now ruined the profile of the design. We've opted to go to steel. Exactly -- local -- durable. Now -- we it's just check whether they're prevented. They're going to be here and so this thing when you got it upside down it's got three legs each legged at an angle that it filled. And they're gonna imbedded into the lap we're gonna put in place the bomb -- right on the top -- the -- the top of that beautiful. Right simple. Pantry that fluid is above the plate good."

" Now you're creating what you call the other day ahead coupon that's it Bob what we're doing is and what we did in the design. Was we're creating a -- effect. With these palms are here these are queen potter queen pomp queen pomp I thought they gonna get these -- to get when they mature thirty feet. Now what we want to do is when these palms are put in the ground and they are transplant from the nursery. What we do is we open up. A whole little bit bigger than what the root ball is and the root ball is pretty small at the root ball on on queen palms is very small. So what we do is we make a little slice -- whole it's a little bit bigger than what it is. Actually so that the all can be nice and comfortable in there. So we're gonna go ahead and put the root ball then. And the pomp and get everything set for you go to federal it and put -- That is the tiny -- that it queen palms doughnut -- big -- Bosnia. And you've got some beautiful rich or right -- on this this soil is already fertilized and it's -- with -- 666. Fertilizer also combined. With a lot of protein in for the pump it also breaks the -- it also makes the plumbed up breakdown insulate. How long will it take. For the pond to establish itself that it's an -- yeah I was gonna get into or you what this fertilizer does it's one minute Abel so pumped. Not to like going to deep shock and not to -- back. It will establish itself between three to four months and growth begins immediately. On the east pomp and you don't have to worry about staking them now the reason why not because. The area that this is it that wherein. There's a lot of protection against wind up -- neighboring ally total win is not going to breakdown allotted here OK but if we were planning a lot of boulevard. That we would have a stake indeed okay."

Pella Energy Star Rated Fiberglass Windows and Sliding Glass Patio Doors

Once the roof is in place, the windows and sliding patio door in the back can be installed. The windows are from a new fiberglass window line from Pella, which includes low-emissivity glass for greater efficiency. The fiberglass frames make them more resistant to extreme weather. The windows will not warp or rot in the heat or cold. Duane Putz of Pella reviews the features of the windows and glass patio door. The Pella Impervia door is made from Duracast, a fiberglass composite, and is very durable, and resistant to impact and scratches. All of the hardware is color matched to the product so it blends very nicely. It's also available in other finishes such as brass, satin nickel, and bronze. Both the upper and lower sash can be raised or lowered, providing natural ventilation. The sashes tilt inwards making it possible to clean the exterior face of the glass from the interior of the home. Pella Impervia windows are Energy Star rated in all 50 states and save the average homeowner 24 percent over single-pane wood windows. The powder coat finish over the fiberglass means there is no need to add a stain or finish to the window.
