Pool Update

Well, I looked at my blog and realized some of the posts as far as the pool timeline are gone.  Yep.  Not sure what happened.  All of June seems to be gone.  It may be a good thing because our concrete guys were a bunch of yahoos and jar heads.  Not days I really want to remember.  The first company was here for six (6!!!!) weeks.  They should have needed 2, maybe 3, weeks.  Disgusting.  Then as they tried to repair major mistakes, they would destroy something else.  It was a never ending process.  So, we fired them.  Period.  Do not come back.

Fast forward three weeks and we have a new company on site to do repairs.  Things started going in the same directions.  Like, it started good, then they got sloppy.  The day they should have finished I left for thirty minutes.  I had told them certain things that needed repaired, fixed, or cleaned before they left.  They were gone when I got back. Thirty minutes?  Really?  They had finished what they were working on, pressured washed, packed up, and were GONE!! Thirty minutes.  Yep.   I couldn't believe it.  And, I had completely wasted my breath because they did nothing I had told them to do.  Needless to say I was hot and not happy.  Tide Guy called the owner, gave him some really bad news and told him they better return or they wouldn't get paid one cent.  The owner was not happy to say the least.  But he did show up the next day with the same crew.  He called Tide Guy and told him he now understood why we were upset.  He would now be at our house and make sure everything got done correctly.  It took them another week.  So, we had concrete guys at our house for 4 months.  This job should have taken three weeks at the longest.

We are enjoying the pool.  We still need to put up a fence and lay sod around the area.  We also need to complete the patio with a ceiling, lights, and fans.
