Stone work

Our second post today is on the stonework for the barn. Last week, the masons were working on the corner and the stone pillars out in front of the barn. Notice the steel poles holding up the front of the barn. This week, you can see the masons and pool people working nearly side by side and the stonework in front of the barn. The project is getting better and better.

Pool post

We have not had a post in a week, and lots has occurred, so we'll make two today. The first, this one, documents the pool construction. Last week, the bulldozer arrived to dig the hole for the pool. Here are pictures through the rebar stage: We had a downpour on Monday, so no gunite until today. First, we saw our driveway filled with pick-up trucks (America runs on pick-up trucks, at least for small businesses). Then the gunite trucks arrived. Then, you can see the mud-hole the workers faced. Then the gunite crew went to town. Wow! Basically, the bones of the pool done in one day.
