OK. So, today is a bright sunny day despite being a little cool this morning. Supposed to be mid-50s this afternoon, so should be a pleasant afternoon for working outside to dismantle the existing deck. My deck is built to curve with the pool, but since we are replacing the 24 ft AG with a 27 ft AG, the arc of the curve won't match up with the new pool. So, today the old deck comes down. My three little golden retriever girls wanted to help ........... but, apparently nobody else thought they would be good workers, so they got left behind on the main deck beside the house with the gate shut.

Now, if I could just get that pool installer to return my phone calls! Three phone messages left with no call-backs. Not getting the warm fuzzy ..........
