another update, more work was done this weekend
Early Saturday I moved one of the posts at the entrance to the pool enclosure, I wanted it to be behind the landscaping blocks and also to host a hose bib, so I dug it up, ran the plumbing and concreted it in place  Then we started on the columns, we got them all done Saturday    Then today we nearly finished one section of wall, still need to insert the rebar and fill with concrete, then add the last layer of block and the cap  _________________ Actor portrayal, Action figures sold separately, You must be at least this tall to ride, Individual results may vary, Sales tax not included, All models are over 18 years of age, upon approval of credit, Quantities are limited while supplies last, Some restrictions apply, Not available with other offers, At participating locations only, Void where prohibited, Above terms subject to change without notice, Patent pending.

Started more landscaping, this is what the raised beds will look like, tumbled block with river rock border
 Queen palm on the left, pygmy date palm on the right  I have to find a home for the scrap lumber and fill in this area with dirt and more plants. The palms are a Pygmy date palm in the front and a Pindo palm in the back  _________________ Actor portrayal, Action figures sold separately, You must be at least this tall to ride, Individual results may vary, Sales tax not included, All models are over 18 years of age, upon approval of credit, Quantities are limited while supplies last, Some restrictions apply, Not available with other offers, At participating locations only, Void where prohibited, Above terms subject to change without notice, Patent pending.

Not sure how much research you have done on palm trees out there..... but my BiL curses every year when he has to go out and cut the dead fronds off --- especially now that the trees are tall enough to be out of reach with his ladder and pole saw. You'll have a few years before thats a big issue for you..... Also that the palm trees tend to be a haven for rats nests and scorpions....
