Thanks, maybe just something similar in look. Not in any rush at all, other house projects are a priority, like 2 broken fence posts that I haven't had time to address & possibly getting our AC evaluated for proper flow.

 

Wall is complete. Need to put in pea gravel patio, hedges/landscaping/sod and





exterior lighting

 

That looks awesome! Is that a pizza oven???

 

Yessir. Its a 'Chicago Brick Oven' wood burning insert kit. Basically a cast turtle shell with heat plate and door. It goes to about 1000 degrees. I purchased a double wall 24" s.s. flue, which is concealed in the secondary/mini chimney. The kit was $2k with accessories. We talked ourselves into it because the incremental costs of adding it to the already custom wall were very minimal. If we werent already building this wall, and wanted a stand-alone pizza oven with chimney etc, it would be very pricey.

 

House and improvements look great dude! Salutations from South Beach!

 

I am wicked jelly of the pizza oven...

 

I've been toying with the idea of making a pizza peel. Interested?

 

Wow. Appreciate the offer, but I think my wife ordered one. Thanks

 

Regarding done. They laid out the base of the rear patio for pea gravel. Still have landscape lighting, one more hornbeam to go and hedges. Also I am trying to get them to install adjustable LED in ground wells flanking the fireplace to shine up and hit the edges of the



bluestone caps

 

Sod in the empty space?

 

Done! Just waiting on exterior lights and amissing fence panel. Hedges need some time to fill in

 

That looks fantastic!! That really opens up the backyard. Well done!

When's the pizza party?

 

^ This.

Let us know when we should be there.

 

Very well done, looks amazing.

 

This looks great. Amazing job and design

 

That looks stunning. Great work.

Agree with all the others when are we having the Azine pizza party?

 

Thanks boys! What kind of Azine party are we going to have without a garage!?

....the landscaping lighting keeps tripping the breaker. Need to get to the bottom of it. I have 24 lights in total now at 3W (LED), even if converting (X 4, which i think is how you are supposed to convert LED wattage) = 288 watts. The transformer is 300 watts. Strange. I am dying to see the backyard all lit up. I have accent lights on the wall, 9 lights for the rear cherry blossoms and hornbeams, and two dimmable inground adjustable lights in front of the fireplace that are going to accent the bluestone slap edges. The lighting guy is working through it. Will send photos when its up and running.

 

Lights running. They forgot to flip one of the switches in the transformer

 

I have never heard of the (x4) you refer to. For calculating LED wattage I have always just done the total wattage + 20% more for overhead. Which if doing that your transformer could be way oversized and that might be your problem. 24 * 3 + (.2 * 72) = 86.4watts. So 100w transformer should be plenty for your setup. That being said I can't believe you should be tripping a 300 watt transformer with that little draw unless you can have too large of one.

 

All good. It works now. Photos above
