I started on a backyard project recently. The cost of lumber caused me to go a different direction than originally planned. I'll add updates as it progresses. Some before pictures    |

I’d run a conduit from the house out to your hot tip area save trenching when you install it

Yeah a power outlet along the wall would be a plus … I go with a ground fault outlet.

Looks good sir
Now myself I would of ran power out for the outdoor bar with frig
Ran some plumbing for the bar sink gas line for the built in grill and fire pit
And let’s not forget the cable for the outdoor TV a water feature would of been nice but maybe that’s just a touch overboard
