Hoo boy. Busy, busy, busy!
Here's some shots of the progress on the pool deck. John and the crew he supervises go like a house-afire!.

Here you can see the first real load of the treated pine for the deck framing and surface. Agusto is unloading it.

Here's Mariano laying out an angle to take into account the complex shape of the spa.

The decking moves right along. As you can see, it's about 1/3 done.

Cody had a different problem to deal with. He ran into a small cave almost right under the wall at the back of the property by the canal. This is where he's installing the 3" drain from the pool overflow, back-flushing, and a floor drain in the yard.

| Cody Hard At It |
Today, Friday, I was out of town. Doug and I went into Belize City to visit
Brodie's,
Bennie's, and
Court's. We were looking for household items, some electrical fittings (no white rheostats - only almond), and some tool pieces (a keyless drill chuck for Craig), plus whatever happened to catch our eye. I found a bottle Traveler's
Five Barrel Rum. Hope it's good!
When we got back, a huge amount of progress had been made on the deck. It's completely framed out and they've actually started laying and screwing the decking. Woo hoo! Does it ever look good. They even added in a deck hatch so I'll be able to get underneath to install the sewer pipe, etc., for the guest house.
