The Pool Is Being Dug


Finally, after much ado, the pool hole is being dug. It's exciting for Wayne and Susan to see this phase of the project get underway, as we move into the the crunch of the last month of finishing up the house.

There has been a lot more progress this week on the rock work on the exterior.

Here are Wayne's comments from their most recent trip to Wenatchee this week-end:
"A good trip to Wenatchee and we are very excited as we have about another month before completion of our home.

We confirmed the color of the granite for kitchen, baths, and small area in the den that was in stock at Precision Water Jet in Wenatchee. We also picked out the formica for the utility room and looked at window shades for master bedroom so they could be ordered and installed just before we close.

We carefully went over the schedule for remained of home project. Pool people, excavation company placing rock, landscaper, kitchen appliances, and fence installation all to be work in and around remaining home construction by builder.

Exterior solar screens have arrived on time, the pool and rear yard fencing has been shipped from manufacturer, and yes it appears most things are on schedule. When we actually see the pool we will be very relieved and this was causing concern with other contractor's time frames.

We requested several bids on our fence but only received one from fence contractors in Wenatchee and the material cost was over 3 times what I was able to get on the internet. I then decided to take on the fence project myself.

My brother a train engineer, my brother in law a postmaster, and me an appraiser and home inspector will complete the fence. A little fun in the sun and challenge our abilities although we have all built fences and have general building knowledge."
