Lanai Joist Taping and Plumbing Trench

After the lanai joists are painted (primer and top coat), the top of each joist is covered with roofing tape that has tar on the bottom and foil on the top. This is another layer to prevent water from collecting in the space between the joists and the floorboards, which could lead to rotting. The tape is also painted, so it doesn't look shiny in the spaces between the floorboards. (All of this painting and taping is my job.)

The breezeway from the main house to master suite and the front lanai.

This plumbing trench goes from the shed (where the hot water tank and pump will be) to the main house--only about 15 feet--but much of the rock was solid, and it took three people several hours with a jackhammer to get it done.
