Tile & Irrigation Day

A two-man crew worked for 8 hours to install about 85% of the tiles. They will finish the tiling tomorrow and install the grout on Thursday. We will be able to walk on the floor on Friday.

Our landscape designer worked most of the day installing the water drip line system for all of our new trees and plants. The water flow is controlled by an automatic timer that is easy to program. The main water line is 1/2" hose with various sizes of emitters installed at each tree and plant to deliver the desired amount of water.
