MORE POOL PROGRESS

Now that the fences are done, the guys can work on finishing the pool.

Which means putting down the ground cover mat, then the liner can be installed and the plumbing fitted.  They seem to think it will all be done in a couple more days!

I'm not so sure, it still seems to be a lot to do.

As for working on the pond and the area around it, that might be pushed back until Stew can find time to get the river stones.  That's fine by me, it's something we can do later.

Right now we are concentrating on things that we need Steve's help with, while he's still here.

So today, I might just get the new summer sandals I need.  And a couple more fruit trees. 


 ABOVE:  This reminds me why we are NEVER having a sandpit!  Bloody sand everywhere.  I know the boys really LOVED playing in it, but yeah... ain't gunna happen again.

You get sand traipsed through the house and it gets into/onto everything.  I really don't like it at all.  *smiles*

Sand belongs on the beach... end of story.

ONWARD... 

12.51 pm:  And I've been out, bought some summer jandals, a couple of fruit trees and another half price blue pot (smaller) and come home to find the guys working on the pool.


ABOVE:  They are putting the lining in!  So exciting... this is where it all starts to take shape.

I ordered a static swimming belt online the other day:


ABOVE:  It got hand delivered today as the people who make them were visiting Hamilton today.  It's going to be very good for getting exercise in the pool.

I have had several comments lately from an Anonymous person, and I've NOT published them as they are (I'm sure), meant to put someone down.  Please stop.  They will NEVER be published.  You are wasting your time.

3.14 pm:  And the liner is in place and they are slowly filling the pool...


ABOVE:  This is the tricky bit.  Getting water in it and getting out the wrinkles as it gets fuller.

I don't know how long this process will take.  Hopefully they can stop for a while soon?  They've been working all day.


ABOVE: Stew put the new plants in the pots and garden.  
I found the two really small blue pots around the back, so put them there.  I think it looks awesome.
On the left will be a continuation of the stones around the pond... and a paver path to the gate leading into the back yard.

All takes time... but I think we are going great.

And it's the end of the day.... man they go fast when you are busy from woe to go!

    Aww your little guys in the sand are so cute. You just need a bowl of water and a towel so they can wash their feet before they come inside. They are growing up so fast.
