June 6, This Week's Progress

The upper deck's flooring and railing is on. Also the beginning of the bench framing (on the right side) The lower deck is half floored and railing are up. Yet to come are the steps connecting upper and lower decks and steps to sidewalk. From here it looks as though the deck is hanging over the pool. It's close but not that close.
Another view of lower deck. With the rain the retaining wall has not been worked on for 2 days. We're hoping for dryer weather but rain is forecast everyday next week. The cement around the pool can not be poured until the wall is done and the pool guys need the wall finished also, for drainage or what-not. Here's hoping!
The sidewalk from the deck to the driveway was poured today. The basketball hoop is down temporarily. It was where the gate will be. Where the hoop goes is anybody's guess. Input? It's all coming together and again today OJ asked if we were going to go swimming in my pool pretty soon. 33 days? This coming Monday more cement work is scheduled.!? We've also been given June 16th as the date that Campbell's is to start the plantings and our 4 trees to be returned and replanted. More later...

More pictures, please! I'm with Ian on wanting to see the progress (or the mudslides from all the rain.) KC had 4.5 inches Thurs night; 1.2 inches on Wed. I hope Lincoln missed it.
