Day 4 - Trees gone, Pool builders start





Finally on Thursday, 8-7-08, the tree job is coming to a close. They will still have to come back to grind the stumps but the trees are out of the way now. The pool builders brought their equipment to our yard last night so that they could get started today. Around 10am, the hole for the pool began to take shape but then it looks like they filled it back up. They pushed dirt around for a while and toward the end we could see that they have shaped the tall wall (what we call the "jumping in wall") and have put in wood stakes to mark it. Then they begin to measure and put a frame around the edge of the pool. Weather changed and we got some rain, thunder and lightning at 1:15pm and after a while the workers had to stop. To be in a level four drought, we get a lot of rain. Greg Randolph said this would settle the dust and they will be back tomorrow. Hopefully the stump grinders will be back soon to finish that part of the job, too. We are all so excited!!
