New Porch Day 6 - January 19th, 2023
After a six day wait for city structural inspection completion . . .
Work gets underway on the underground drainage piping
The gutters will drain behind both vertical support structures
The new piping will connect to the old piping that heads into the front yard
The new piping is about a foot under ground level
The new piping is added to the old with a "Y" connector at this location
Capture every angle for future reference such as later additions
Once the pipe is laid, the ground is returned and patted down
Once it is warm and the grass returns, pipeline evidence will disappear
Also receive an above ground drain in an area that has never flooded
Continue capturing every angle of the buried pipeline
Concrete will likely be poured in the next workday or so
Both supports have underground drainage, the prior drain will be capped
Recessed light fixtures are installed into patio ceiling
Will have four recessed lights, two on each side, of the covered patio
Will also have a ceiling mounted electrical outlet for Xmas lights and such
Recessed light near the left side support post
Ceiling fan will be mounted in the center
Will also have flood lights in both corners of the eaves
Right side flood lights installed by the remaining eaves
Project is really coming along after six days of effort
Rio loves the holes in the ground more than the covered patio above
