No, about 1/3 of the water was left and had to be pumped out.

Comrade be smart for once, put aside entire cost of da pool and den smoe collecting whopping interest. No heater needed and I gotz solar panels for the added electrical draw. I prepaid the water-fill to two too.

Is a FENCE required to keep brats out?

I most areas, a fence is required. The legal term for a pool is "attractive nuisance" and I imagine something like a trampoline would also fall in the same category.

Sometimes Morgan dollars can be attractive nuisances, too.

those are around my #@$#@#$

Grounding, irrigation, pump house plumbing and general clean up done yesterday before new cement. Supposed to pour today, actually two Saturday's ago, then last Saturday, I dunno, I've lost track.

Youse may notice that the forms are a little different than what I photographed a week ago or so. That's because of an Association rule requires "no more than 50% of the private yard can be paved" (inc. pool). A contractor friend who's done work with this Ass. said that "it may look like 50%, from his house". Elmo! Slipped my mind, I mean, it's only been two years since I looked at the 'rule book'.

It did smoe measuring and came up with 58%. I had smoe of the landings to the side-yards made smaller or eliminated, made larger flower-beds and narrowed the walk-way from the garage to the lanai, plus made the BBQ area smaller - result, 48%. What area I lose I can regain with lava stepping stones - the poured concrete will be 'lava stone' stamped

Some associations don't consider interlocking pavers as paving.

Another day of broken promises,...no pour today. Fudd-me!

It's Pouring Outside!








Lava stone stamp (later stained - Wet Sand).

Need to have the relief cuts sawcutted since they didn't wet them.
