Pool update


Email from Harry Allen

Here’s a quick update on the pool and spa project.

The Maricopa Co inspector was out this morning to inspect the drains on each.  I was about 10-15 min away when Teresa called and advised me that he was here and the pool fencing was off.  We knew that, but had it roped off.  It was removed for the deck project.  At any rate, Charla and I put the fence back on and that satisfied the inspector.   Susan arrived a minute or two later and it is now permanently reattached.

The fence passed inspection.

The drains and intake passed inspection.  

The next step is to fill the drains with concrete and any in-laws you may want to get rid of.  The more in-laws, the less concrete.

The cement will take a few days to dry and he believed the pebble sheen should be on by the weekend.

The deck has a coat of color on it now.  I think it gets more.

The deck is being fitted with the deck depth and no-dive markers.  Kinda noisy, kinda dusty.  They are actually cut into the concrete.

I’m talking to Leslie’s Pools about the pool light.  If they don’t have a plan by mid morning, we’ll get someone else to replace the light.  That will be the end of Leslie’s Juniper business if another store will work with a commercial account.

The ramada overhaul was delayed due to the deck project.  

The decking looks spectacular, particularly under the ramada where it was nasty concrete.

I think it’s time to shop sconce lighting to replace the Barnum and Bailey Circus lights atop the pillars.  I’d like to submit that to the city when we are in a position to do it.  We need bids and the concept established.

Pool update

Email from Harry Allen

The pool project is coming along really well.  The deck drains are installed.  The “lace” is applied to the southern half of the deck.  The northern half is getting the base coat this afternoon.  The entire deck will get the acrylic coating tomorrow, I think.

You will notice the deck drain is vastly better than the drains we saw when touring other projects.

The fencing is cut away temporarily to allow for installation of the drain and decking.

Leslie’s should be by to install a new pool light under warranty.  This must happen prior to filling it with water.

The county should be by to inspect the pool and spa drains and jet pump intake.  Once inspected, those projects can move forward.

The pillars are painted on the inside and the ramada project is also underway.

I leave for work before daybreak tomorrow.  Please update me with simple iPhone photos each day with the changes or if there are any issues that arise.

At the end of each day, please ensure CAUTION tape is blocking the construction zone.
