Homemade “Spoons” big breakfast this morning! No doubt the colon and liver will complain tomorrow. However it was delicious.
Jan cooked all of the vein clogging stuff in her new air-fryer, which is supposed to reduce the risk.
The walls of the bathroom are now 75% chipped. I’ll have the shoulders of Hercules by the time I’ve finished. Once the chipping is completed all the walls have to be brushed and then washed with a sponge to remove the dust. Hopefully the Tiler will come in 10-12 days.
Meanwhile back to the swimming pool installation which didn’t occur.
The pool company agreed the pool would fit in the following location
In this location it complied with all the regulations relating to property boundaries. The area was measured twice by separate company employees.
When the crew arrived to do the excavations they discovered the measurements were incorrect and the pool would look like this.
In this position it is too close to the rear boundary fence. The pool company suggested we cut the patio pad and slide the pool partially under the pergola . Jan didn’t like this and rightly pointed out it would adversely affect the outdoor BBQ area.
We have now agreed to the following location
The pool will fit but I now need to:
- Remove more lawn
- Reinstate lawn that was removed
- Relocate the buried lawn reticulation pipes and sprinklers
- Repair the hole in the pergola concrete pad that I drilled for the pool handrail earth wire.
- Purchase more pavers
- Purchase more fencing
At least it will be a change from chip chip chip chip
