Well it has been alot of work but the island is finally finished. I ran conduct from the column for the porch to the crawl space and then to the island and to the Texaco pole for power (had temp power to the pole). I also ran a seprate coduct from my crawl space to the end of the island where my air meter will be. I am going to put my air compressor under the crawl space. I left some space on the other end of the island for something else (any idea's). I know someone will ask why two conduct at each point and it is because they are just daisy chained to loop power through each pump, light, & meter to the pole. It is just one main conduct in for the power. I first tried to weld some metal together for my form but it really did not work well. I found this edgeing materal at Lowes (bender board) and it worked great for forming my corners. The bender board was 5 1/2 tall. The island is 10ft long and 3ft wide. We used thirty nine 40lbs of concrete mix and thanks to my friend Adam (pictured) for the concrete help. It has been more work than I thought because I had to move alot of dirt to get the grade down and the steps I built was a pain. What I did not show is the sewer pump (for my basement) that is just to the right of the steps. I had to build them around the pump and all the plumbing,electrical, and down spot drain that was in the way (what a pain). I guess it will all be worth it when the pumps are finished and in place. I hope they will be done and in place by summer. I also still need to finish a walkway and natural area above the steps. Hope all enjoy the pictures and show your islands that you guys have built.
