Pool

Every once in a while I hear an old Ford pick-up go by with Tom Jones blaring on the 8-Track player.
I wonder if he found my address too.

That's not Tom Jones...it's Alex singing Tom Jones...

He even sings it just the way he learned it off the 8-Track. Click, pause and then music again.

Greg, things are happening pretty quickly now. I can't wait to see the final product.

ps I don't drink scotch so I'll bring tequila.

Greg, are you planning on putting an enclosure around the main pump area? Just curious. The neighbor behind me runs her system all day, and it's loud.

Build them a rockwool lined covering for it.

We are in a rain delay. Raining like mad now and supposed to tomorrow. As long as the hole doesn't cave it shouldn't set us back too long.

Some poor guy is out there right now running the light housing.

Compared to the heat he's probably much happier in the rain.

He didn't seem too upset. He was right in the middle.

Rained more this morning but we got a break from it this afternoon. It is supposed to start back up tonight or tomorrow so they got the trucks out here in a hurry to take advantage of the break. Gunite is going in!

 

[Warpdrv]

Did they get a permit for you to make a mess like that...?

Lookin good bro... Hope it turns out as nice as you planned...

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Thanks buddy.

It is starting to take form and we are excited. We did our final pick of materials yesterday and they ran all the electrical today. I have 7-10 days of watering the gunite and then we will be home free for a quick finish. (not counting resoding yard and new fence).

They still have to build up the center wall 6 more inches and build the retaining wall.

You have a trampoline too! Darn you, you have all the fun!

Maybe the next time the Dawg has Andrew over he can get him to trampoline into the pool after a few drinks and put it on youtube. That has the potential to make him internet famous..............or land up being a paraplegic.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

That's my neighbors trampoline, the fence is still down.

Just tell him it's a hurdle.

I think thats Greg's poor nieghbors yard.....

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Yep.

I was kind of feeling bad for my neighbor secondary to the mess and torn up yard but he is getting a new fence, new sod and a new sprinkler system on my coin so I don't feel all that bad.

I would have said screw the fence. Lets build the pool into both yards.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I would have then said "You get the permits and hand me 40k".

We have had a few rain delays so not a lot of progress. They are back on track now and did the waterline tile today. Tomorrow they will finish the wall height and tile and install the coping. Thursday they will layout the design of the deck. If all goes well, they can pour the decking early next week and apply the Pebble Tec (plaster) later in the week.

It looks like it will clear up for a few days. I think I need to seriously swing by when everything is done so we can get some pics for the AH community.

If you spent this much time and effort on this you have a right to show it off.

plus that Dawg Crusher is something I do want to see.
