Other items to consider: you may need to move irrigation lines, you are not allowed to have live water lines under a concrete slab. You should include electrical outlets inside the bird cage to avoid having extension cords across the floor. We found after the fact that water became trapped inside the birdcage, tried having drains installed these kind of worked. I finally spent some quality time and installed 1/16-inch aluminum shims along 2 walls of the bird cage, and this seems to be working very well. We also had 50% sun reduction screening installed in the roof area of the bird cage to provide some protection from the sun. If you decide to have the concrete finished, make sure you get a NON-SLIP finish, we had ours stained with shark grip in the finial coating.
Feel free to send me a PM if you would like to discuss further.
Yep....Spoke with officials and ARC should not be a problem. Did the electrical stub-out and insulation of lanai work last year. Fortunately the Irrigation lines and drain were already in the correct spot. Now just need a builder
