If you do it you will need a thorough knowledge of codes if you are putting underground gas water, electric, pool lights....way more complex than I knew and I am a GC. When the rubber hits the road, the elec & plumber earn their $.

Plan some nice weather too....
Where I worry the most is trowling and the dig. I know it has to be right or there is a big mess.
Where I live there are no plumbing codes(country). Besides water flows downhill,,,,right?. lol and I have some friends that will tell me code for underground electric here. I can easily do that work. As stated above, I did my own electrical and plumbing in my house I reside in.

I think I am going to look into charges for excavating, a person that can do the troweling and a good concrete man. Those are the main areas that really have no experience in except minor things. I have at least a month off next summer so there is no excuse not to try and do it myself.

Thanks guys. I will continue to ask questions I am sure so I can get info from You guys on good equipment
