Pool

Bridget is settling in.
But when we walk by her house, she stops and it's hard to get her moving.
She really is a sweet dog.
She loved meeting George, Harry & Larry today.
She sat & watched them working almost all day.
She lives with Pat, so I think she misses having a man around. 
Speaking of George, Harry & Larry.....
Wow!
I wonder if George reads my blog...
Cause they went from creeping to sprinting today.
I think there is less than 15% of original deck left to cover. 
He's bringing the new rail tomorrow. 
And he's going to seal it.
Could the end be near?
The cage should be going up, any day now, too.
We've had some heavenly weather this week.
Not a cloud in the sky and low humidity.
I'd have been out there sitting if not for the bugs.
Patience. 
I'm not good at it.

More progress

I'm so relieved.
I've been worried about the choices I made for the renovation.
I can see the tile & coping with the grout and I love it.
When the blue finish inside the pool goes in, I may faint!
I can't wait til the pavers go down and it gets acid washed and sealed.

And, the fence is down.
You know what that means?
Soon I'll have a cage.
Ugly water feature...GONE.
Ugly waterline tile...GONE.
Falling down fence...GONE.
This feels like real progress.
Yay!

My pool guy, George, is a gem!
Not only is fixing my eyesore, he also dealt with Mr Nasty Nextdoor.
Actually, Mr Nasty didn't show up, 2 days in a row.
(I thought it was such a big deal?)
He left it to the Mrs.
George said she isn't that bad...he liked her.
And, after they talked, she asked him to quote her a patio!
Molehill to Mountain & back to Molehill.
I knew I got a good vibe from George!

No sewing today...I was stocking up for Murray' arrival.
But there's always tonight.
Never say never.

An even better day today!
