Monday, August 25....waiting

We have hit a lull in our progress with all the rain that Hurricane Fay is supposed to bring us. We had a lot of rain yesterday and are supposed to have more in the next few days. Because of this the yard cannot be graded since it is so muddy. If they can't grade the yard, the footings for the concrete cannot be built and the concrete cannot be poured and colored and stamped. Right now it looks like the concrete will not be started until Friday. We were hoping to be in the pool by Labor Day which was a very fast paced deadline but it looks like that not happen. We also have to get the fence up before we fill the pool (county ordinance) but before that the pool has to be plastered.

I saw the county inspector come by this morning at 9am. He looked around the pool for a few minutes to make sure the wiring, electrical and gas lines are all up to code and then he left. Maybe that is a good sign. I would have never known he was here if Bruiser hadn't alerted me to him. That is another box to check off, passing inspection.

So to make a long story short: the rain needs to come and go, the backyard needs to be graded, the the cement footings built and the cement poured, colored and stamped, the fence has to go up and the pool has to be plastered and filled. Not a lot of things but ones that have to be done in the right kind of weather.
