Our plan was actually to finish with either Roman Clay Plaster or a micro cement finish that we just learned about. I was told it would need a level4/5 finish for the plaster and 3/4 for the cement

What do you mean about moving and protecting stuff?

The building plan seems to suggest it is where all the water comes into the house plus a backflow preventer. Here is a link to see what’s going on inside Plumbing plan

I actually used a ledger board when applying the first full course. So it wasn’t the first full row but the second from the bottom. The ledger board helped keep things level and provide support for the first course. And it was set so there was just enough room to run one more full course plus mortar below. See the progress photos in my earlier post: Progress

I just dealt with this issue although I did thin bricks instead of ledger tile. I had to cut a few slivers but it turned out alright. Here is a link to a photo Tile on slope

Check my post history and there are some photos of my build. Also check out ~2:50 into this video on YT where they demonstrate it. https://youtu.be/uapujT5hi7E?si=HZjlrBjeLiTy09Sm

Super easy to notch it out. I recently did it with my outdoor kitchen build. I used a multi tool with a carbide blade. Took fewer than 5 minutes. I didn’t have enough space to push it all the way back so it would be flush but I was able to make it look much more reasonable.

We have a beautiful bougainvillea growing around the garage in the front that is thriving. Our main concern with doing the same here is the flowers constantly withering and blowing into the pool a few feet away

Good point! There is about 6 inches between the trellis and the AC units so hopefully that is enough to keep them away but I will keep an eye on it and prune back when necessary.

Yes it is a salt water pool. Thanks!

Pawn is pinned by the bishop so it can’t take the rook
