Morning everyone,

Our landscaping is now finished except for the waterfall. That will have to wait for final adjustments and light placement once the pool has been filled.

Plastering is scheduled for tomorrow, but we may have an issue with ground water leaking into the pool. We’ve had so much rain (and snow) in the past couple of weeks, the ground is completely saturated. Looking at the weather forecast, it doesn’t look like the rain is going to let up much for the coming week either. More delays. Sigh.

But, we’ve been able to make use of the fire pit and will fire up the BBQ for the first time tonight to celebrate Mothers Day…a week late. Steaks courtesy of our landscapers who felt bad about delaying our celebration.

Here’s the latest:






Fingers crossed for plaster and fill this week. Still hoping to take a dip this coming long weekend.

Beautiful!

Thanks Jim. I'm doing my anit-rain dance at the moment. Want to send some of the nice weather you guys are having this way?

Thanks guys!

One good thing, we may not have a leak at all. Water was pooled up behind the stair tile line. Swept it away with a broom. Will take a look a little later this evening to see if it's pooled up again. Hopefully it won't rain before I get back out there.
