The tile goes in

Filed under: Items in the Pensieve,Projects — Darkavich @ 4:52 pm

This weekend the rest of the copping was installed. Too many pieces of the copping were damages to finish the outside ring on the spa. They had to order more, and they should be here by tuesday.

The tile went in this weekend. It’s amazing how good it looks.

You can see how it looks around the skimmer with the copping

Tomorrow they will start installing the outside form for the spa, so we can extend the copping and attach the tile.

Again, I am dealing with a flakey company. We are trying to get a bid on the pavers, but the company we are working with has not provided us with a quote . They have until monday or we start looking for a new company.

You can leave your hat on.

Now that all the heavy stuff is done, the coping is being installed. Because our pool is so curvy, it is hard to see how it will look until the grout is installed.

They should finish the coping cap today, and be able to start on the tile tomorrow. That assumes the materials arrive today 😉

Work starts up again.

Well after rain last week and some delays due to scheduling we are back working on the pool.

The trenches are all filled in, except for one small section. While digging up the dirt, we this funky connection.

Nothing we have found underground has made any sense. This is why we are ripping out everything and starting from scratch.

The new skimmer was set in concrete today.

And the coping stones arrived today as well.

Tomorrow they will start preparing the edge of the pool to install the coping. Things should start moving along again.

First…Kill all the lawyers

This just pisses me off. I finally see that i-tunes store finally has heroes. If you have not watched this show, you SHOULD! Mario, remember what I said about Stargate? This is so much better a show. I am on the edge of my seat for the entire show.

Anyway, I digress. I see they have the show for download, but the premier is missing. It turns out NBC is being sued over showing a garbage disposal being used with a hand inserted into it. This is just stupid..

Where will this silliness end? Will Lexus start suing CBS because they showed a car breaking the legs of a person on CSI:NY? And honestly, is this going to make a single person stop buying their disposal? When is the last time you ever bought another brand other than theirs?

I so hope the judge has a fricken clue and tosses this one out. Hey and NBC if you see this, have some guts and put the episode up for purchase. Better yet, just buy the damn company and fire their lawyers.
