Pavers were started today. The workers told me they were only going to do a small area and them finish on Monday. Well I ran off and when I came home they had placed almost all the pavers. Now there is just a small area to complete on Monday. There is also edging they have to do. They will really stand out when the deck has the acrylic lace it is a darker brown.
The pavers have arrived! They were suppose to be here Last Tuesday. They should be layed tomorrow. Well I was wrong the pavers will be placed on Saturday and should be finished on Tuesday,then we can proceed on with the pool.
Milestone occurred today I finally got to take a shower!!! I feel soooo clean! This is the foot after the shower. I did not realize how swollen it still was. I get to start wearing a shoe, and will start increasing the time I wear it everyday. I see the Doctor in 3 weeks. Still no working, or driving.
This morning I awoke to pounding out back. The decking is now poured. They started at 06:00 am and left at 11:00 am and walla! now there is decking around the pool
Today two workers come out, first they painted the whole slide,rocks and decorative rocks black. I think it was to define the rocks and lines, then they painted the slide and all the rocks brown. Looks great. Water will flow out of the top area and make a waterfall,and people can slide down the slide.
About 12:30 the work stopped and then at 2:00 it started up again this is the results from the second half of The day of the Grotto slide
How many men does it take to build a grotto slide? I counted 9 of them. Today they started to build the foundation for the slide. The owner of Cameo pools came out to see the project. I am excited to see it done with all the rock in place, and the waterfall going.
Garage door and french doors
Well this is new since I have built a pool. The door knobs on all the doors going outside to the pool area have to be 54 inches from the ground. The door guy is here now installing the knob up higher and replacing the hinges with self closing hinges. I will paint the bottom plate white where the knob use to be
Rebar done. I'm not sure what is next I guess we will have to be surprised I talked to the super of our construction and he said it will take 5 weeks to finish the pool and the only reason it will take that long is we have a rock slide and that will add an additional 5 days to the build. I always thought it took much longer to build a pool. This is the 3rd pool we have built and you would think I would have remembered. I just remember that is seemed like it took a couple, or even a few months. I guess I was wrong. 
Today the bandages came off my foot and this is what it looks like. No bump!!! The Doctor cleaned it re dressed it and I graduated to a walking boot Heel touch for now then progressing as I feel that I can handle it, to a walk. I thought the boot would be low but it goes to my knee as you can see. Still no driving I see him again on the 17th of June.
Day two plumbing done. The tall pipes are for the Grotto slide, the pump will be behind the slide.
