I have not posted any pool activity on this Blog because there hasn't been any, just kidding, I didn't want to tell you of what was scheduled and then have to tell you of all the "no shows". That was not the case, yesterday two workers from the pool company came over to build a fence and install the hand rails plus eight sprinkler workers. Our trees and shrubs were clapping hysterically when they finished up last night. Now the two pool guys are another story, as I stated they are here for fence and rails, when the 5 o'clock whistle blew , BOOM, they were out the door and neither job was finished. While they were here they had to make six trips to the hardware store whether to take a break or actually buy something is hard to say. Drill bits seemed to be the major problem, snap, snap, snap, they were going through them at a lightning fast rate. I am not Bob Villa but even I know that you don't buy something that is rated for wood & plastic when you are trying to drill into tile & cement. They actually didn't wait until the "time to go home" whistle blew because they (and I am not kidding) burn out one drill, jammed another, ran out of bits and used up the last unbroken bolt, therefore "no toolie no workie". They told me that they would finish up on Monday however I advised them that the interior of the pool will be installed Monday morning and filling would commence Tuesday evening, so looks like they have to work this weekend.
On the family front only interesting news is Colleen is sky diving today and she called last night to remind me where her will is, just in case. She promised to call when she was back on the ground. Interesting how different children turn out, while Colleen is either diving ( sky & water) or riding helicopters into the Grand Canyon Meaghan is fighting the crowds at the mall.
