    Don't listen to the weather forecasters. You know how good they are in the Houston area. You are better off consulting your lucky plastic eight ball. Look's like between you, me, and Sean our pools should be finished at about the same time. Good luck and enjoy.

    Yep. They came and did the pool clean-up for me today too. I was hoping they were going to plaster as well, but when I looked outside, they had gone. And now, of course, it's raining.

    I'm trailing you guys, but at least my decking is just a one-day affair.

    Maybe I can make it up there.

    If the forecast holds, we pour the deck this Saturday.

    To paraphrase Kevin Costner in Tin Cup, I think this calls for "a nod to the gods".

    Get that rain dance going. It worked for me. I will do a little extra one for you as well. I need some dry weather so I can plant all of these plants my wife bought. Keep us posted. Good Luck.

    It'll happen. I was good all along, but started getting anxious here the last couple of weeks, mostly just because I want my yard back.

    Is your plaster scheduled too?

    They came and got all of our equipment running today and the landscaping is in. I can't wait to get home and see it all. I've got the gas company coming tomorrow. Apparently we need a larger meter for the heater - $250. The upside is we should be in the spa tomorrow night!
