At least, Ed Sosa and his bulldozer have moved up the road to Doug and Tyla's place for a while. That in itself makes things quieter by a large factor.
But then, if construction wasn't going on, we wouldn't be getting our pool built. And that would be a shame. I think having a pool here is one of those "necessary luxuries". I mean, even if we weren't getting a pool built, we'd still have to have our round, twelve-foot wading pool to cool off in. It's just such a treat to jump in, relax in a floaty, and have a nice cool beer, that makes a hot afternoon seem like paradise. The fact that we are actually in paradise helps too.
Here's a collection of photos that pretty much bring you up to date on the pool construction as of yesterday afternoon.
Below, you can see the 1-1/4" water pipe extension we did the day before yesterday. There's also a small pipe for a "top-off" valve to just add some water as needed to counter evaporation.Angled corners drive the block-setters nuts. Complicating it is the water jets that are in the corners as well.
Along with the water main being extended, we're also running new electrical service out to the pool and for the future guest house. here's the line for it running along the wall and through to the outside.

This pool certainly has some angles... I'm so glad I'm not building it! Anyway, lots of progress has been made.

This view shows some of the piping coming together where the pump house will be built to manage all the piping.
There'll be more shots as construction continues to move right along. This is a fast moving project - which is nice. We are so looking forward to a dip in the pool.
