This morning the cement guys were coming so I was up early to get a few odds and ends accomplished before they arrived. I was out at 7 a.m. digging up the irrigation zone for this area (photo below). They had put 6 pop-ups in this space! Caitlin had decided to include this area in the concrete patio work since it was never a nice lawn. The digging was fairly easy and the new irrigation tubes are flexible and easy to pull up. I was worried about leaving the zone intact with cement going over the top.
I was able to take off the pop-up stringers but this main pipe had crimped gaskets. I was able to snip the gaskets, but I wasn't strong enough to pull out the couplings. Kent will have to help me with the rest of this.
Removing the 12 inch pavers was next on my list to do. I moved these back to the rear of the house. I'm thinking we can use them against the side of the garage by the back door.
By 9 a.m. I was ready for a break and the guys still hadn't arrived. Caitlin had to work so she gave them a call from work. They finally arrived at noon and put in a full afternoon's work. More photos to come later!
